CROP OUTLOOK ALL
OVER THE COUNTYIS
MOS! ENCOURAGING
CORN is GENERALLY REPORTED
TO BE MUCH ABOVE The Az.
ERAGE FOR SEASON.
PASTURES ARE MAKING GROW \
Acreage of Peas and Soy Beans viii
Be Larger Than the Average Due in
Part to the Scarcity Of Glover and
Meadow Hay.

Crop conditions for the week end
ing today in Maury county are gener-
ally good. There have been seasona-
bic rains in nearly all portions of the
county during the past six weeks, or
since the end of April drouth early in
May. Some portions of the county,
notably in the northern end, a bit of
rain would be very helpful, but in the
southern, eastern and southwestern
and central parts the ground is in
splendid shape for the growth of veg
citation.
Corn is reported to be above the av-
erage all over the county. AS a rule
the crop has been well worked. While
there has been abundance of rain
there has not been too much to pre-
vent farmers keeping their corn
clean. The plant is growing rapidly
and much Of the early planting has
been laid by in splendid shape.
There will probably be above the
average crop of peas sown. Many
farmers, where they failed to get a
stand of clover or did not saw any. are
discing peas into the stubble land.
Others have already sown considera-
BILE crops both of this legume and also
soy beans The scarcity of the hay
crop has naturally added to the acre
age of these crops.
There is also an average acreage of
sorghum, which is always a popular
feed with the farmers of this section.
Most of the sorghum has been work
ed although there is still some to
plant.
The Irish potato acreage in the
county is small, much less than usual,
but the crop has made ilne growth
and the yield promises to be much
above that of the past three seasons.
There will probably be an increased
acreage this fall of the second crop.
Gardens have been most prolific and
pastures have responded readily to
the recent rains. Cattle are said to
be making good gains although the
fly pest is beginning to be noticed.
All things considered the crop out
look at this time in the county is most
encouraging.

1t is currently rumored upon the
streets and generally believed that
the city will be enjoined from the
street paving that is expected to be-
gin about the first of July.
At the meeting that was held FRI
day night for the purpose of hearing
complaints fro mthe taxpayers a !, ng
list of petitioners against the plan
was submitted by w. S. Fleming, at.
torney for several of the taxpayers
owning property along the route that
is now under proposition for paving.
1t is the belief of some that this Pc
tition is only the forerunner of a suit
in the courts and it would not be a
surprise to the city authorities should
bill be fled enjoining them from
selling the bonds, within the next few
days.
Mr.. Fleming was seen this morning
in regard to the matter and asked the
direct question If an injunction was
being prepared, and he stated that he
had nothing to give out for publica-
ton and that he did not try his cases
in the newspapers before they were
submitted to the court.
This rumor. however, is not Aav-
! ing any weight upon the officials as
they are going right ahead with the
business as planned ont and adver.

fused $500 for picture, and wound not
take ten times that sum. This pic

SUBMIT BIDS FOR
STREET PAVING ON
NIGHT Of JULY z
BONDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
SOLD ABOUT TWO WEEKS
LATER.
MANY INQUIRIES ARE RECEIVED
No Trouble About Making Sales Of
the Bonds Is Antieipated--Rate Of
Interest Not Yet Decided Upon.
Anxious for Work to Begin.

At a special meeting of the board
of mayor and aldermen on Saturday
afternoon plans were finally complet-
ed for the advertisement for bids for
the paving of eight blocks in the cen
ter of the city with asphaltic concrete.
The bids will be submitted on July 2
and will be opened at o'clock on
that night at the regular meeting Of
the board. The bids will call for the
paving of the eight blocks with sub
stantially the same material that is
used for the paving Of the Capital
boulevard at Nashville. Much inter-
est has already been manifested in
the bonds which will probably be Of
fered for sale two weeks after the
contracts are let for the paving.
There will be no difficulty in max
ing sale of the bonds as several
bond buying concerns have already
made INJURIES about bonds, the rate
of interest, the terms, etc. The bonds
will bear either FIVE or six per cent,
being sold on the basis that will re-
turn most to the city.
Opposition to the proposed paving
is apparently much less than it has
been and the people generally are anx-
ious for the work to begin. They re-
alize that permanent street paving is
necessary in a city with the amount
Of traffic that Columbia has.

ECONOMY NEEDED.

l. is the most natural thing in the world that there should be an insist ent demand for economy in the ad- ministration Of the affairs of this country. It was only few years ago that a congress stepped into the bil- lion dollar class. That caused a great hue and cry from the democratic ranks and resulted in the insertion of a strong plank in the democratic plat form in behalf of retrenchnent and greater economy.
 What has been the result? The government was placed in the hands of the democrats. but all the things they preached relative to the reduction of expenses have been persistently ig- noTed, and instead of cutting down the expenditures, it has been the revenue thae has suffered. while the expenses have maintained steady progress up ward The close Of the first year saw the expenditures exceed all previofs records by 9. hundred million. It was repeated the second and now it is threatened again, even in the face Of large deficit. Just how much at tention has been paid to the demo- cratic plea for economy. is disclosed by the statement that in the departments managed by the members of MT. wi sons cabinet during two-thirds Of the present fiscal year there has been an increase of more than $21,000,000 over last year.
 Just where the administration would have landed had it not been heid ir. check and forced to curtail on the river and haroor expenditures, and forced to abandon it's scheme for the expenditure of $40, 900, 900 more in the risky venture of government ownersiair2 of steamships, is hard to tell Fortu- nately there have been enough safe and sane advisers in congress to keep it from getting into a worse position.

It would cost quite q tidy sum to accomplish the task, but once put into conduits it would be a permanent investment of much value Overhead wires are always subject to thAWravages of storms. The cost of maintenance is large for ordinary work while the expenditures mount sky high following high wind or heavy ice storms and isolation in these days of haste through the uselessness of telegraph or telephone means much.

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.

Like many other good things it is not an especially promising year for the bill before the state legislature seeking pensions for teachers. That however, does not affect the worthiness of the movement the arguments for which may prove so convincing that a way may be found for putting i+ into operation.
 Teachers pensions are nothing new. They have been in operation in other states for years with the result that those states, a number of which are nearby Connecticut, are always more attractive to those who are going to follow teaching and the state which has nothing of the kind for the teach CTS to look forward to must lose.
 When it comes to education it must be realized that the teaching force is a very important factor. The best teachers are wanted, but they are not likely to be obtained until this state furnishes the same incentive as the others. Teachers arc very apt to go where they can get the best recom- pense or where they know that their services are best appreciated even aft e- they have given their lifetime to the work The importance of Keeping their employees active and constantly working for the interests of the bus mess is recognized by many large cor rorations, even to, the extent of estab- fishing pension lists. They have proved by experience the value Of their course and the attitude is that the enPloye has earned his rest under pay.
 With such concerns good business methods usually prevail and what is considered advisable by them ought al least to be worthy of serious consid- eration when it comes to the teach CTS Of the state who have devoted thirty years of their lives to the bet jerrent of the commonwealth and been none too well paid for it.
