WORK PROGRESSES
ON KEDR0N ROAD
MORE THAN TWO MILES OF THE
NEW HIGHWAY HAVE BEEN
GRADED.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new county highway being construct
ed from Rally Hill and Kedron to Ne
apolis. Two and half miles of the
road, approximately, have already
been graded and metal has been plac-
ed on about mile, that portion being
finished. Never has the work house
made more satisfactory progress on
any road than 1t has made In the con-
struction of this highway One rea-
son the weather has been decidedly
favorable and very little time has
been lost for this reason Much of
the country through which the road
is being built is very rough and 1t has
been necessary to straighten out the
road in many places. Members of the
county court who have recently been
over the road declare themselves
very much pleased with the character
of the construction and the rapidity
with which the work is being rushed.

Ed TO TEACH.
Scene OF HIS EARLY TRIUMPHS
Grand Old Man Accepts Invitation
From the Principal and School
Board Of His Former Home-To
Talk TO Young People.

Former Senator w. R. Webb (Old
Sawney) will speak at the school
house at Culleoka on next Monday
night, Sept 20, at s o'clock. Senator
Webb comes in response to the urgent
invitation Of the local school board Of
that place and Prof, w. R. Bingham,
principal of the school, His address,
while primarily to the young people
Of the community, will be for all who
come out to hear him.
Senator Webb commenced his great
career as teacher at Culleoka. AL
most half century ago, about 1870,
he commenced to teach at that place,
and in few years he had the most
famous preparatory school In the
state. In 1886 the school was moved
to Bellebuckle where 1t has been To-
Gated every since.
That Mr.. Webb will receive a hear
ty welcome at Culleoka goes without
saying. Many Of his old pupils stin
live in that section and there are 9th.
ers of the younger generation who
have been taught to honor and revere
his name and memory from child
hood.
Senator Webb will come to Culleo-
ka on Monday night and after speak
ing at the school house there will
come to Columbia on Tuesday morn
ing where he will be heard at the big
opening Of the county and city high

LIBRARY DAY FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS Of
STATE OCTOBER 1SI
HOPE TO HAVE ONE IN EVERY
HOUSE IN TENNESSEE DUR.
ING THE YEAR.
TO RAISE FUNDS OF THAT DAY
Local Authorities VIII Cooperate to
Make the Occasion a Success in
Maury County-5rIng In the Books
10 the Slogan.

Local teachers and educators In
Maury county will cooperate with
the state department of education to
make Oct. l, Library Day." a notable
success. There are still a number of
schools in the county without labra.
ries although great progress has been
made in that direction.
State Superintendent Sheriff. has
declared Friday, october /, 1915, "Li-
brary Day" The state very generous.
ly aids in this important factor of ed.
ucauonal work by giving dollar for
dollar for sum of not less than $40
or more than $4,000, during any one
year, for the establishment or main
tenance Of school library. The selec-
tion Of books is restricted to a list
approved by the state board of educa.
ton.
The division of library extension, OF
the state department Of public instruc.
ton, OF which Mrs, Pearl Williams
Kelley is the director he's lor its SOL
gan this year: "A Library in every
public school in Tennessee" On that
day every public school in the state
is expected to raise funds to estab.
lish or supplement the school libra
ry. From the unusual interest and
enthusiasm with which many teach
ers are already waging the campaign
for more and better school libraries,
1t shall not fall far short of the mark.
The most imperative duty Of the
state is the education of the future
citizen The business Of the school is
to give inspiration, as well as inform
alton An educational system which
contents itself with teaching to read,
and then fails to see that the best
reading is provided, Is as inconsistent
and absurd as to teach the children
the expert use of the knife, fork and
spoon, and then provide them with no
food.
-- Present indications point to a state
wide observance of Library Day."
and that the year 1855 will be nota-
Bile for the more systematic use of
well established Libraries; for improv-
ing poor ones; and for placing a new
library in every one Of the lonesome
schools that have been waiting so
long for someone to bring in the
books"

FORMAL OPENING Of
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
ON TUESDAY MORNING
ONLY PUPILS At ANDREWS
BUILDING WILL REPORT
ON MONDAY.
v. R. WEBB The ORATOR OF DAY
Grand Old Man viii Speak at 10
O'Clock on Next Tuesday; Pupils
Are Requested Not to Report Be.
fore $3.50 O'Clock A. M.

Formal public opening OF the first
term of the City and County High
School in the handsome new $65, 700
building will take place on next
Tuesday morning. The exercises
will begin shortly after 10 o'clock.
Former United States Senator vii.
liam P. Webb (Old Sawney) will de.
liver the address of the occasion.
That of itself will be sufficient to
center interest. in the event aside
from the fact that the occasion
marks the realization of the aims and
hopes and aspirations of all who have
labored and prayed SO long for a
proper high school in this city and
county.
Pupils including the first five
grades will report at the Andrews
building on Monday morning next at
o'clock, which will be the regular
opening in that department of the
schools for the coming term. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
only the pupils of the first Ave grades
will report on Monday, the other sew
en- grades reporting at the high school
building on Tuesday at ten o'clock.
Pupils who are to enter the High
School are requested not to come or
report sooner than $50 o'clock since
the doors of the building will not be
opened sooner than that hour.
All OF the teachers Of the
city schools are requested most ear.
nestly by the superintendent to meet
at the Athenaeum at 10 o'clock on
next Saturday morning. 1t is impor.
tant all should attend.
1t is expected that large crowd OF
visitors will attend the opening exer.
cises of the school on Tuesday. Not
in years has such interest centered in
an event of this nature in Columbia
and the coming of Sawney Webb will
be an added incentive. The audito'
rum should be literally packed with
the patriotic people of the city and
county. They do not know what a
magnificent building they have and il
will do them good to witness the inau.
guration of term that should prove
the best in the entire history Of the
public schools.

RUN FOR ASSESSOR
POPULAR JUSTICE LIKELY TO
ENTER CONTEST FOR COW.
LEY,S JOB.

Justice of the Peace William E. Al
exander, of the ninth district will
probably be a candidate for tax as
SCISSOR at the next election. The ge.
NAL Squire has not positively made
UP his mind on the subject, but there
is every indication that he cherishes
an amvition to fix the valuations OF
the real and personal and mixed prop
erty Of Maury county. If he should
be candidate and make the sort OF
race all over the county that he
made in the ninth district when he
ran for justice of the peace he would
be elected. He will unquestionably
prove a strong factor.

FIFTH DISTRICT IS
SCENE Of SPIRITED
RACE FOR JUSTICE
EFFORTS TO GET OUT A NUMBER
OF CANDIDATES MEET
FAILURE.
ONLY ONE POSITIVE AsPIRANl
Former Trustee James H. kannon Re.
sists Most determined Pleas to Get
Into the Fight-SeveraI Others Are
Considered.

Interest materially increased in the
Culleoka contest on Monday, but the
only tangible result was one an.
nouncement as a candidate and that
was l. Hill McKibbon. There were
caucuses and conferences all during
the day by prominent local politi.
clans and efforts were made to get
out a half dozen candidates, but SO
far as known no fruit was the result.
Tremendous pressure was brought
to bear on Former Trustee James H.
Kannon, to get him into the contest.
He would admittedly make q splendid
member OF the county court and
friends from all parts of the district
urged him as matter of public duty
to make the race assuring him of his
election. However, Mr.. Kannon turn.
ed a deaf ear to all entreaties and
absolutely declined to be a candidate.
He declared that his political cup was
already filled to overfowing.
Hicks Richardson, former superin-
tendent of the county work house, is
being urged by his friends to get into
the race, but he has not indicated his
intentions in the matter. NJ. Phineas
Murphy, former secretary of the coun.
ty republican committee, has like
wise been the object of many requests
to become candidate but 1t is un.
derstood that he is not giving the mat
ter any serious consideration.
Whether or not Prof. Thomas F.
Hill, of StiversviIle, will be a candi.
date is still matter of speculation
He has not himself made any declara
tion, but his friends say that he will
be in the fight.
The sentiment of the ditrict gener.
ally favors short campaign and the
hope is expressed that the commits.
sioners of election will give no more
than the time necessary for a canvass
The board meets Thursday to fix tie
date of the election.
