SCHOOL A CREDIT
TO THE COUNTY
HIGH PRAISE FROM ONE OF THE
PIONEERS IN HIGH SCHOOL
WORK.

superintendent Smith, of the
GAINESVILLE public schools, who was
here on Wednesday to investigate and
inspect Maury county's high school
equipment, was loud in his praises
Of that institution. While Montgom-
cry county and Clarksyille were pio-
neers in high school work, one of the
first county high schools in the state
being erected in that county, Mr..
Smith declared that he had not seen
anywhere a high school that had the
facilities and the equipment that Maui
ry county had. When one considers
the fact that Montgomery county was
the first in the state to abolish the
old district director system and have
a county board of education and
among the first to establish a high
school this is praise indeed The
members of Mr.. Smiths party were
likewise very highly gratified at what
they saw here and a number of i'm
provements based on Columbia's
school will be made

Opponents Of the administration de-
clare that the report Of Auditor
Frierson will make votes for them.
They argue that the report was not
at all responsive, that it was entire
ly too argumentative and indicated
also that the auditor was not in the
best possible humor when he made
it. They point out in particular that
the report failed absolutely to give
any information concerning the
amount of the sinking fund on hand,
how invested and of what it consist
ed.
On the other hand the administra-
ton say that the opposition is disap-
pointed because no damaging fact
were revealed and that the answer
of the auditor took away absolutely
the advantage the opposition believ-
ed it had obtained when the ques
tons were asked.

IN SPITE NEARNESS
OF CITY ELECTION
IS NO EXCITEMENT
CAMPAIGN is RATHER LISTLESS
IN SPITE OF ISSUES
RAISED.
BUT VOTE WILL Be VERY HEAVY
Expected to Exceed the Poll of Two
Years Ago by $50 to 800 Votes.
Waiting for the Cameron Report
Next Week.

With the city election just two
weeks in the future the campaign
gives promise of being one of the
quietest known to the politics of Co
lumbia. The expected storm has not
yet broken and while daily more in
terest is being taken in the contest
than on the previous day it would be
very great exeaggeration to say
that any considerable number of Co.
lumbias voters are excited over the
situation.
Both tickets are working and work
ing hard. A canvass is being made
of every qualified voter. Personal
pleas are being made to every quail
fed voter. Arguments are being
made to every voter who can be
reached. Arguments on the street
corners are not infrequent but not
as numerous as they have been in
former contests.
Petitions have been circulated
among the necessary number Of vot-
ers asking the several candidates to
run in order that they may be filed
with the commissioners of election
to get the names upon the official bal
lots. The time limit within which
this can be done expires on Oct. 49,
Fifteen qualified voters must sign the
petitions.
1t is not believed that there will be
any very active developments in the
campaign until after the report of the
auditor for the taxpayers has been
made public. This report is expected
the first of next week and will at once
be given to the public.
In the meantime there Is the usual
amount of speculation regarding the
size of the vote that will be polled.
1t is agreed that it will be much
larger than the poll two years as
when 537 votes expressed a
choice for mayor The concensus of
opinion is that it will be not less than
500 at the two precincts.
