Low Price Excited Suspicious of c.

Repudiate the Aeent-Has Left the
City.

What looks like bold attempt to
obtain by fraud subscriptions to mag
azines in Columbia was uncovered by
Clarence Tucker, of the Tucker Mag
azine Agency today. Several days
ago a young man appeared in the
city claiming to represent the Inter
national Magazine and Newspaper
Agency and offering clubbing rates
at very low price on certain of the
high class magazines. He is said
to have obtained a number of sub
Bcriptions. When the matter came to
the notice of Mr.. Tucker he became
suspicious and at once telegraphed
the international Magazine Company,
Of New York. He received this morn
ing the following reply:

Mr., Tucker has reported the mat
ter to City Marshal Mclean but 1t
is understood that the young man,
who is said to have been of pleasing
appearance, and asking for subscrip-
tions upon the plea that he was max

by the alleged agent is the following

CORN CROP MAURY
COUNTY BEST MADE
IN THREE YEARS
BIG IMPROVEMENT BOTH IN THE
YIELD AND IN THE
QUALITY.
IS COMING 10 THE MARKETS
Shipments Will Be Heavier Than
They Have Been Since 1912-Co-
Iumbia Is Paying the Best Prices
Hereabouts.

In spite of the drouth that covered
considerable portion Of the grow
! ing period last summer, Maury coun-
ty has made very largely the biggest
yield of corn that it has had since
1912. Reports from all sections of
the county and interviews with a
large number of farmers confirm this
statement Even corn that was
caught at the crucial period in the
drouth has made yield above that
expected. While it is not believed
that the average yield will be any.
thing like as large as that of the ban
ner year of 1912 which had an abun-
dance of rain at times during the
growing season, the crop will be a
fair average one for the county.
The acreage planted to corn this
year was large, although probably not
equal to the average owing to the in
creased acreage last fall sown to
wheat. At all the railroad points in
the county an increase in the receipts
of corn over the same period of last
year is reported. At Culleoka the
Culleoka Produce Company has al
ready purchased and had delivered
over 600 barrels. In that section of
the county last year there was not
enough corn made for home demands,
due to the severe drouth. Receipts
1T Columbia have not been extra
heavy although this is the best mar
ket around, the mills paying $3.50 for
wagon lots. At other places south of
here and in Giles county buyers are
getting all they want at rs cents a
barrel less.
The shipments of corn from the
county this fall and winter will be
larger than they have been in three
years. in fact, in the fall of 1913 and
1914 there was little sent out from
here and a good deal shipped in. The
quality of the crop is very much i'm
proved, too, several farmers reporting
that they have made just as fine crop
as they ever did.

Capt. Joseph H. Russell, soldier,
public official, churchman, and advo-
cate, died at his home in Columbia
at Z o'clock on Thursday night after
long illness. Acute eczema was the
cause of his death. He has been in
poor health for several months but
signs of the approaching dissolution
were not apparent until little more
than twenty-four hours before the
end came. On Wednesday at noon
his physician, DR.. E. A. Timmons, was
summoned to his bedside and found
the distinguished patient very sick.
1t was evident that death was not
very far off and in spite of the fact
that everything possible was done no
hope was held out and the end was
only matter of hours. He would
have been eighty years old next Jan
uary.
Captain Russell was one of the
most distinguished and best known
men of Tennessee For nearly a half
century he was conspicuous figure
in the public life of the state. He
was leader in politics, in church af-
fairs and was widely known, not only
in Tennessee but in other states. He
was decidedly picturesque figure
wearing to the end of his life, his hair
in long ringlets and dressing in most
formal old time Southern style. He
was decidedly distinguished figure
at reunions, church assemblies and
political conventions In manner he
was most courtly and genial with the
suavity of the old time Southern gen.
tleman.
His war record was a most credita-
BILE one. He was a captain in For
est's cavalry corps and no more gal
liant soldier ever followed the stars
and bars. He was always in the
thickest of the fight and his comrades
in arms never hesitated to bear wit
ness to his heroic devotion to duty
on the field of battle and around the
cafp. In charge at the head of his
troop at Thompson Station during
the closing days of the great war
Capt. Russell was wounded and he
suffered from the wound until the end
of his life.
Capt Russell was elected district
attorney of this judicial circuit in
1870 and was reelected in 1878, hold
ing the Office for sixteen years. AS
attorney general he was fearless, ag-
gressive and able. He became a ter
ror to the evil doors and made a most
enviable reputation as a public offic-
ial.
In 1882 he first became a state fig
ure, being nominated by the "sky
blue" or state credit wing of the dem
Ocratic party as a candidate for gov
ernor against Gen. William B. Bate,
the nominee of the regular democra.
cy. He made a very aggressive cam
paign of the state and eloquently urg-
ed the cause advocated by him but

the great majority of the democrats
who had voted for the platform two
years before supported Gen. Bate and
he was elected.
Capt. Russell was the candidate Of
the prohibitionists and republicans
against Representative Padgett for
congress in 1900 and made another
vigorous campaign. Although he re.
celVed the largest vote that has been
polled against the democratic nomi.
nee in this district in twenty years,
he was defeated. In 1898 he was a
candidate for circuit judge against
Judge Sam Holding, the democratic
nominee The contest was an ex-
ceedingly close one and it was not un.
til the entire vote had Aeen counted
that it was ascertained that Capt.
Russell had been defeated. In 1902
he again aspired to the bench but was
also defeated
The last time that Capt. Russell
sought Office was in 1908 at the be.
ginning of the factional war in the
democratic party. He was nominated
at Hohenwald by the regular or Pat
terson wing of the democratic party
for senator from this district, but
was defeated by John E. Greer, of
Perry county. Since that time Capt.
Russell had not taken an active or
aggressive part in the public affairs
of the state.
Capt. Russell was one of the pioneer
prohibitionists of the state, being one
OF the founders of the old prohibition
party He stumped considerable
part of the state for the prohibition
amendment in 1887 and pleaded with
his usual force and eloquence the
cause that has since triumphed in
Tennessee. He was a fiery and az.
gressive speaker; never mincing
words, but entering into any contest
with his whole heart and soul In his
early life he was accounted one of
the most effective campaigners in
Tennessee.
During the past ten years, Capt.
russell, almost without any reward
had devoted practically all of his time
to the cause of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, being recognized as
one of the foremost laymen of the en-
tire denomination He was the i'm
placable opponent of the proposed
union of the Cumberland Presbyte-
Ran church and the Presbyterian
church in the United States. At the
noted Fresno assembly he achieved
almost national fame by his fiery and
lmpetuous and eloquent advocacy of
the cause of the Cumberland church. |
He was repeatedly delegate to the
general assembly of his church, was
stated clerk of the Tennessee synod, |
member of the board of education,
president of the legal board and held
other high and responsible places in
the councils of his church.
Capt. RUSSELL was one of the law

so queer that dare not suggest it to
her for if she thought wanted to do
it she would begin Immediately to say
that she could not give up everything

If we could only get her to suggest it
then things would be all right. She
resents the slightest interference in
her affairs and will accept the advice
of no one except Jack, who, of course,
is for ousting Mary and letting him
