1t may be added right here, too,
that if it had not been for Tom
Hale and his descendants it is
likely these southern states
would have failed to make any
kind of showing.
When it comes to trotters in
the South the palm must be hand
ed to the Lone Star state, as the
farmers of that state have sent
forth LAG trotters in six years to
take standard records, while the
output of Tennessee amounted to
116. Alabama with 60 trotters
is third and Georgia with "a is
fourth. Except Texas from the
southern contingent, and Ten
nessee produced more trotters
than all the rest of the South put
together. If Texas is excepted
from the pacing compilations,
Tennessee preeminence is more
forcibly shown, and there has
been about three times as many
record-making horses bred in
Tennessee than in all the others
combined. Put in a nutshell,
this is the way the old Volunteer
state lines up in the census of
trotters and PAGERS which can do
the trick.
In six years, 1908 through to
1914, Tennessee produced 249
PAGERS which earned records,
while all the rest of the South
produced POI altogether. During
the same period the states of the
south, seven or eight common
produced 100.

how Tennessee has been leading

Growers Received an Av-

or $500 a Car for
Berries

Chattanooga, Tenn. June 30. -
Over 700 solid car loads of straw,
berries have been shipped from
the East Tennessee section and
points south of Chattanooga to
Cincinnati and other western
markets during the season now
coming to close, according to fig
ures of the Queen and Crescent
Route, over which practically the
entire crop moved. The great
bulk of this movement comes
from stations north of Chattanoo-
ga on the C. N. O. & T. P. Ry.
A number of cars also came from
points on Southern Railway in
East Tennessee, the total from
these two sections for this year
running over six hundred cars.
Eighty came from Cuba, Ala,
and others stations in that terri
tory on the Alabama Great
Southern railroad. There were
a few scattering shipments max
ing up the total.
The crop this year was much
larger than last year, but despite
this fact good prices were realiz-
ed, growers receiving an average
of $1.75 a crate, or about $500. 90
a car, which will mean that this
year practically $500, 100000 has
been brought into this section for
Strawberries alone, giving the
growers a handsome profit and
furnishing employment to a large
number.

graded.


Another point that has been
raised, and which seems to be a
question in the minds of some, is
concerning the pike commission.
Some say that it will now be the
duty of the court to elect a new
pike road commission. Others
assert that if the court should
order an election to vote on con-
structing roads as specified in
the former resolution, that the
present commission could serve,
But it is also stated that if a new
resolution is presented, changing
the locations of the roads to be
piked, that a new commission
must be chosen.
All of these things will be de-
termined at the session of the
court Monday, it is presumed,
and legal advise will be sought in
the work of the court so that no
illegal complications will result
from its deliberations and ac-
tions.

If Present Resolution is
Changed, New Com
mission Necessary

Keen interest is manifested ir
the quarterly session of the
Blount county court to be held
next Monday, July5. This being
the day set for the celebration OF
the Glorious Fourth, an unusually
large crowd is expected to be in
to wn and the court will attract a
large per cent of the voters and
tax payers present. The question
of paramount interest is that per-
tanning to the issuance of road
bonds. 7 h e recent election,
which carried almost unanimous
ly, it being 10 to l in favor of
bonds, was held illegal. Now,
the question that presents itself
is, shall the court order another
election this summer, or defer
action until the winter.
On one point, practically all
seem to be agreed, and that is
that it will be the act of wisdom
to wait until winter or early
spring to sell the bonds. 1t is
conceded that the bond market is
not at it's best now, and it would
perhaps be difficult to dispose of
the bonds. 1t is to be
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-07-01

hoped that the bonds can be dis
posed of at a good premium, anC
to get such a premium it will be
best to wait some months, per.
haps, to sell them.
There is a difference of opinion
as to when the election should be
called. Some think it would be
wise to vote on the bond question
at once. Others think it would
be we'll to wait until winter or
spring, then call an election.
In considering the call for an
election, a good many things
must necessarily be taken into
consideration, and these matters
will be weighed in the minds of
the magistrates who must decide
concerning the issue.
1t is to be deplored that the re-
cent issue was not valid. Had
the sale been confirmed, it would
have been only a short time un-
til work would have been begun
on the pixies, and e'er spring had
it's airy flight over Blount
county, many farmers who must
now trudge their weary ways
through muddy roads, would
otherwise have been motoring
over we'll macadimized highways.
1t seems to be one of the tricks
Of fate, however, that too often
those things happen which pre-
vent the realization of that for
which the heart most fondly
yearns. And we must content
with the preachment
If the psychologists who say that
we find more pleasure in antici-
patton than in realization, and
,hus imagine the pleasure that
will be ours when these high
ways are constructed.
Some have expressed the opin-
on that it would be i'll advised

question without first laying off

Nashville, Tenn. June 30-Fol
the first time since Flora Temple
began to excite the folks of the
new republic with her feats Of
trotting there has been an effort
to locate the birthplace of the
trotters and PAGERS that are in.
creasing by the thousands each
year, and making the record
book of the breeding and racing
interests look like an unabridged
modern Webster. The statistics
showing whence the trotters and
PAGERS came has been compiled
from the official records of the
trotting associations, and the
trotting register association, and
they are said to be accurate.
This information, statistical
purely, serves to give an idea
w}e.e speed springs from, and
just where the great volume OF
record trotters and PAGERS first
see the light of day. These
tables spring a few surprises to
the uninitiated, but as a matter
of fact, they bear out the belief
of persons whose experience has
thrown them with harness sport
for any number of years.
During 1914 Kentucky, as was
expected, led all the states in
mothering trotters, and had 295
sons and daughters of her ami
mails take records. New York
was second, while not a southern
state save Kentucky was in the
first ten. When it comes to
PAGERS old Tennessee steps up to
the charmed circle, and joins old
Kentucky among the ten select.
Ohio and Indiana are one-two
when it comes to putting the so
called sideWheelers into the re-
cord list, Ohio putting in 1877,
while the Blue Bell state put in

Ohio has 358. Illinois, New York,
indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Cali
sornia occupy seats at the round

rotters and PAGERS.
When it comes to southern
itates, there is where old Ten
lessee assumed command, and
lightly, too. During the six
years from 1908 to 1914, a half
lozen years, Tennessee has pro-
luced 249 PAGERS which have
aiken records of 2::30 or 2::25 or

Norman Tower Laid Bare.

A London letter says there has been
a curious result of n of the fires
caused by s~uffragettes in 1914. The
fire in question practically destroyed
the historic church of st. Mary at
Wargrave, near Henley, which, among
other interesting objects, contained
the tomb of Thomas Day, the author.
The church is now being rebuilt. In
the restoration of the tower it was
found that the present casing of red
brick is only a covering for the origi.
nal Norman tower. The latter proves
to be a very fine example of Norman
architecture-one Of the best, in the
opinion of experts, existing in Eng
land.
When the tower was cased with red
brick is a mystery, but the work was
probably done in the reign of Henry
VII or that of Henry VIII. Among 9th
er discoveries made as a result of the
performance Of the s~uffragette larson
squad are a number Of vaults under
the chancel, OF which no one had
guessed the existence.

The war department had received as a donation the thoroughbred shes
Octagon by Rayon dor, dam Ortegal by Bend Or, and Henry of Navarro by

Other thoroughbreds were purchased and there are now at the station at
Front Royal, Va, eighteen sires, of which ten are thoroughbreds, the others
being trouers and saddle stations.
The prepotency of the thoroughbred, experts declare, makes him idealt for
the work in hand, and, as racing was in it's darkest days when the work was
naugurated, the task of securing horses of quality was easy. There was a
disposition from the start to render the government every assistance IN a
work that is regarded as second to none in economic Importance.
With Russias appropriation for horse breeding totalng more than $4,000,
600 for 1914. and the zar adding more than $1,000 900 in the same period
from his private purse, there wa cause for fautfnding when the appro-
