Mondays Daily.l

The mule market in Columbia
came to live again today. Dormant
for the past six months on account of
the war in Europe and the depression
Of the cotton market, the. market re-
vfved and all day long mules sold as
they have not since the declaration
of war on August l.. There were at
least thirty buyers from out of the
county who were down In the mud Of
the streets all day long, bidding for
the long cared animals, which are
without pride of ancestry or hope
of posterity." M
The scene on the streets made the
farmers reminiscent of the first Mon
day in January one year ago. They.
did not have to stand all day long
waiting for bids, as they did one
month ago. The buyers went after
them and it took only few minutes
to make sales. There was no hag-
Cling on prices when they were at
all reasonably priced. OF course, they
were not quite at the same level
that they were a year ago, but there
is considerable improvement in the
price. Sugar mules sold for 5000
easily. Some went above this figure.
They were top mules, fat, in good
condition, with good size and bone,
ranging from fifteen and one half to
sixteen hands high, the kind that
have been in such demand always for
the Southern trade.
The greater number of the mules
offered were war mules. The buyers
were after this kind, and they sold
like hot cakes. Sellers had little
trouble in disposing of them at from
$125 to $140 each. One buyer by 10
o'clock had bought twenty of them
and sent them to the barns. They
were not so heavy or in good condi-
ton as the sugar and cotton mules.
They had been roughed through the
winter, their hair was long, and the
flesh was not hanging on them in
pones. rv
AS to the number, it would not be
far from the actual count to say that
at least 500 mules were on the
streets. They began to arrive Sun
day afternoon and the barns were
crowded when darkness came. Some
Of them were from other counties,
while some were the property Of
farmers in this county.

Two committees were appointed by
w. F. Anderson. The committee,

the kind that will be served, and will
also canvass the business men of the

resentatives of the Commercial Clubs
of Mt Pleasant and Spring Hill will
be invited as special guests Beyond
these, and the ministers of the city,
there will be few invited guests.
AT the supper the directors Of the
board for the coming year will be
elected. These directors will selct a
president to succeed Mr.. Anderson,
who has srved so acceptably the past
year, and secretary to succeed Ash

Big Mule Bueyer Says Farmers Can
Bing In Mules From Now On.

One of the largest mule buyers who
visits the Columbia markets in
search of war and cotton mules, said
this morning:
Farmers ought to bring their
mules in now I think that | can
safely say that there is going to be a
good market from now on. l do not
mean to say that prices are going to
be quite as high as they have been
some years heretofore. That would
be misleading. But prices right now
are whole lot better than they have
been and they are going to be better.
Any man who has mules to sell ought
to bring them in every Monday"

ADVANCE N BREAD
IS BOUND TO CONE
SAYS LOCAL BAKER
ONLY FORTUNATE FLOUR CON-
TRACTS HAVE PREVENTED
IT BEFORE NOW.
BUT SUPPLY ALMOST EXHAUSTED
kakers of staff of Life Will Wait AS
Long AS Possible But They Cannot
Sell at Old Rate and PayDoubIe
for Raw Material.

"Only the fact that many bakers OF
the country, probably the large ma
jority, including our firm, contracted
for flour before the recent big ad
vances, has prevented an increase in
the selling price of Bread" dclared
one of the prominent bakers of Co
lumbia this morning. $50 far" he
continued, "the price of bread has not
been advanced here or in Nashville,
but in the end it will be necessary
Bakers cannot pay the present prices
more than double those of seven
months ago, and make bread and sell
it at the old prices and live. That is
self evident proposition, one that
admits of no argument.
Fortunately for the majority of
the bakers much -four was contract
ed for before the big rises came.
They have been and are today max
Ing bread from the cheap -four, but
the. supplies are running short. In
truth it is cheaper, much cheaper now
to buy bread than to buy the -four
and make it, fact that many people
appreciate. However, the increased
price is coming. With -four advanc-
ing at the rate Of fifty cents barrel
ever day it is not going to be long be-
fore folks will pay more for bakers
bread.
How will the price be advanced? !?
MY Judgment is that the loaf will
still be sold at five cents, its size sim
ply being reduced That will be bet
ter for all There are many people
who can better economize by buying
a smaller loaf at five cents than they
could by paying six or seven cents for
the present size loaf. OF course, like
everything else, in the end Mr. Ulti-
mate Consumer must pay the freight.
l notice that Chicago and New York
bakers expect to increase the price of
the loaf; | doubt if that will be done
here, rather its size will be reduced
"In continuing to sell bread at the
old prices, despite the rapid and enor-
nous advance in -four the bakers
probably stand alone. Merchants
who contracted, as many Of them did,
for years supply of flour, last sum-
mer at the old price of 81 or $3.50 per
barrel, have taken advantage of the
increase in the selling price Of -four
They have made from two to four dol
lars velvet. That is perfectly legiti-
mate and right too. No one can criti-
else them for doing 1t. The packer
who buys six cent hogs and sells his
meat when hogs are on a ten cent
basis charges the increase and he is
right, and so it is with all lines OF
business. I am simply calling atten-
tion to the different attitude Of the
bakers so that when the inevitable
does come the people can realize that
thy must pay more for their bread in
spite of our efforts to keep the price
down"

COLUMBIA SCHOOLS
N THE FOREFRONT
OF ALL IN STATE
PROF. HARRIS MADE MONTHLY
REPORT TO BOARD OF EDU.
CATION TUESDAY.
ANDREWS SCHOOL WORK CHANGED
Fifth and Sixth Grades Will Be Nov.
ed From the Athenaeum Saturday.
All of the Teachers at Andrews
School Now Have Separate Rooms

The most important matter before
the city board of education Tuesday
nuight was the regular monthly re-
port of Prof. r. L. Harris, the city
superintendent.
The report was a most satisfacto-
ry one. Prof. Harris reported that
the work in all of the schools was
progressing exceedingly well. Not
only is it very good, but it is better
arranged than it has ever been. Miss
Anna Leicester Huston on Monday
morning took charge of the third
grade work at the Andrews school,
while Miss Henson, who has been do
ing the work up to this time has been
changed to the no grade work, which
she formerly did. She will coach the
blackboard pupils and do other work
that does not fan on the regular
grade teachers. There are now three
teachers OF the first grade, two of the
second, one Of the third, one of the
fourth, and one of the no grade work.
The fifth and sixth grades will prob
ably be moved from the Athenaeum
Saturday to the Andrews School.
Prof. Harris stated all of the teach
ers now have rooms to themselves,
something that they have not had for
some time on account Of the crowded
conditions that have prevailed.
Prof Harris said that one very ma.
terial improvement had been made as
the negro school. The principal OF
the school suggested to him some
time since that the tardiness of the
pupils could be cured by sending
back home all who came late to
school Prof. Harris accepted this
recommendation with some degree of
hesitancy, but he said that 1t had
worked like charm. He commend
ed it very highly and stated that 1t
had resulted in having much greater
promptness and better attendance of
the colored pupils. IS
The superintendent stated that he
had attended about the middle of
January the conference of the city
and county superintendent Of the
state in Nashville. After hearing all
Of the reports, he said that he could
assure the board of education and the
people Of Columbia that their schools
were in the forefront of all in the
state The Columbia school is one OF
the very few in the whole state which
which have the six and six plan. He
stated also that the local school was
but one Of the very few that had ful-
filled all Of the thirteen requirements
Of the state board Of education for
first class four year high schools.
Not only does the curriculum meas
ure up to the standard, but in most
OF the requirements, it is considera-
bly, in advance of them.
Spence McFall reported that he
had audited the books of the secreta-
ry and found that they had been aceu-
rately and neatly kept the past year.
All bills properly O. k'ed. were er-
dered to be paid by the secretary.
