Making new record for the trial
OF case of murder in the first de-
gree in the courts Of this county, rap
i'd progress this morning was made
in the Isom Pitts case and there is
every indication that the charge of
Judge Turner will be delivered to the
jury before adjournment this after
noon.
The evidence was finished at 1l:15
o'clock this morning, Just two days
from the time the jury was sworn.
Gen. Job Garner opened the argument
for the state, speaking for forty-fve

In an effort Of an hour
II Judge Turner'S charge goes to
the jury this afternoon the hearing
OF the case, including the empanel-
ling OF the jury, will have required
just three days. This comes very
near being new record In the dis.
position of murder cases in this coun.
ty. Rapid progress Was made In
the examination of witnesses. The
trial has been almost free from the
wrangling between counsel that Is SO
often characteristic Of warmly con.
tested cases. There have been com.
paratively few disputed points Of evil
dence argued before the court. Judge
Turner's rulings have been quick and
to the point.
At the session this morning eyi.
dence for the defense was closed and
the state presented several witnesses
In rebuttal. The case for the state
was somewhat strengthened by the
rebuttal proof The defense did not
present much rebuttal proof most Of
the witnesses testifying to the good
character Of the defendant.
Gen. Garner made an able argu.
ment, declaring that the evidence ad.
duced fully substantiated the theory
of the state.
Mr.. Chandler made a strong plea
for his client. He declared that the
evidence and the law made out d
clear case of self defense and fully
justified the homicide.

DELINQUENT LIST
Of REAL ESTATE
A VERY SMALL ONE
NO LACK OF PROSPERITY INDl.
GATED IN FAILURE TO PAY
TAXES.
LANDS SOLD next fIRSTlMONDAY
Very Small Amounts Are Due on the
Tracts That Are Advertised, the
Aggregate Being Small, Less Than
the Usual Average.

Maury county's list of delinquent
tax payers, advertised this week does
not indicate any very great scarcity
of ready money. The list Of land
owners who have not paid their taxes
for last year is small, not over $50 in
the ten districts of the county, or an
average of only rs to the district In
several districts the number Is nota.
bly, less than this.
The striking feature of the delin.
quent list, however, is not the small
number Of tax payers as 1t Is the
small amount - taxes that are delin.
uent. In a majority of cases the un.
paid taxes are less than $3.50 and in
large proportion they are only a
few cents on the tract. The aggre-
gate is small. perhaps one of the
smallest in the history of the county.
Trustee Adkison's collections this
year will exceed any previous total
in the history of the county. This is
Of course due in part to a slight in
crease in the tax rate, but it is also
accounted for In the very small mum.
Der of delinquents and in the large
supplemental list.
Lands upon which taxes have not
been paid will be sold on the first
Monday Of July. The taxpayers then
will have year to redeem them BY
paying all costs, taxes, penalties and
interest. After the sales have been
duly certified to the circuit court and
the time for redemption has expired
the purchasers can secure tar deeds
and possession to the lands purchas.
ed.
This sale this year will be later
than It has been in many years. Sew
eral years ago July was the regular
time for the sale Of delinquent tar
property, but for the past fifteen
years June has been the month. At
the recent session of the legislature
the date was moved up month.
However, next year the delinquent
list will be sold in June as heretofore.

cOuATYS NEW JAIL
WILL Be FINISHED
N ABOUT A MONTH
SPLENDID STRUCTURE WILL BE
ONE OF MOST COMPLETE
IN THE STATE.
ORNATE and VEKY SUBSTANTIAL
Divided Into Three Sections But All
Of Them Are Conveniently Arrang-
ed So As to Be in Touch With the
Other.


Maury county's new sheriff's resi-
dence and Jail is rapidly nearing COM
pletion. Within another month it is
thought that the job will be complet-
ed. The walls have been plastered,
the door and window facings placed
and much Of the inside work done,
The porch is yet to build, considera-
BILE concrete work to be done and the
doors and windows are to be hung.
The building is ornate, it is roomy
and it is most conveniently arranged.
One might say that there are three
separate and distinct divisions yet
all are conveniently connected. First,
there is the residence for the sheriff
and family on the first floor, at the
front. The sheriff and family can
have all the privacy that any other
family would have and at the same
time be in close touch with the bus
mess of the Jail.
The Office will be on the west side
Of the building and will be entered
under port cochere at the side, OBJ
waiting the necessity of people who
have business at the Jail going
through the living apartments of the
sheriff.
The Jail at the rear, will be s pa
rate and yet conveniently joined to
the main residence. Upstairs the jul
rors who are serving on criminal
cases will find four large, delightful,
cool air rooms with big, wide, old
fashioned Southern hall between.
There is a large private bath room
for the use of the jurors. Two Of the
rooms can be thrown together with
folding doors giving twelve men am
pie room and air and robbing service
on the criminal jury of many of its
terrors.
The work about the jail impresses
one with the strength of the struc-
ture. Everything is substantial.
There is nothing elaborate, but good
materials have been used and they
have been we'll put together. To the
rear of the jail and separate from the
portion used by the prisoners and the
sheriff's family is the large and com
Portable dining room in which one
could feed a pretty good sized board
ing house crew. The kitchen would
make half Of the housewives of Co.
lumbia green with envy.
The roof Of the front porch is up,
but the columns and floors are yet to
be placed. This will be one of the
very attractive features of the build
ing, running the full length Of the
house, two stories and ten feet wide
with thirty inch columns. The porch
up stairs will give jurors in the sum-
mer time a delightful place for lo,.ng-
ing
Judge Mcknight has taken great
deal of interest in the construction
Of the jail. He gives it his close per-
sonal attention and has watched near
ly every brick that has gone into the
walls. He feels confident that this
time the county has gotten absolutely
value received for its every dollar.

Ancient Artisans in Afrlea.

The question has often been asked:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-

held by the Bantus? In Man w. II.
Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art of iron working. MIR. Beech,
with some amount of FEASIBILITY, sug-
gests that they were possibly BUSH
men, pygmies. or both, and that they
were local indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint implements
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art of smelling They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend 10 show that the

JULES BOIS' TRAGIC ROMANCE

When Jules Bots, the distin-
guished man of letters of France, was
in America last spring those wko we're
familiar with his life recalled the
tragic romance of his early years that
accounts for his deep interest in the
advancement of woman.
In his youth NJ Bots fell in love
with woman who, loving him in re-
turn, was bound by a marriage un-
fortunate and at the same time, I'M
der the French law, indissoluble. The
woman died in reality of a broken
heart. and M Bots, moved at once by
her sad fate and his own sorrow,
vowed his life to the cause of the
emancipation of woman. 1t is from
this standpoint that he views the war
of the nations, concerning which he
has the idea that the outcome will
be for the woman what the revolution
was for France. 1t is, he says, the
:" 'S9 maternelle"-the date of the
rights of mothers.

PEDDLER TO PROFESSOR

Leo Wiener, professor of Slavic
languages at Harvard university, fa-
nous educator, author of numerous
pathological and literary works and
father of the boy prodigy, Norbert
Wiener, got his start as a teacher in
Kansas City, where he once sold shoe
strings on the streets. The story of
his eight years here is a convincing
proof of the theory that the success
full man makes his own opportunities
When the young Russian immi-
grant first went to Kansas City, after
working on a Kansas farm, he was
penniless and friendless. His first
job was as janitor of a dry goods
store. Then a French-Canadian ped
dler persuaded him to take up his
own profession and supplied him with
25 cents capital. He started out with
a paper box full of shoestrings and
other things, and more than quad
rupled his capital before evening. He
prospered greatly and soon became
known to the wholesale houses as a
