CONFERENCE HELD
BETWEEN MINISTER'S
AND LOCAL OFFICERS
FORMER TO INACCURATE CAM.
PAIGN FOR SOCIAL PURITY
IN THE CITY.
LATTER ARE MOST SYMPATHETIC
Hope Is Expressed That the Restrict.
ed Area May Be Abated-Other
Meetings Will Probably Be Held
Within Next Few Days.

With the earnest hope of being
able to abate the so-called social
evil" in Columbia conference was
held on Monday afternoon between
the ministers and the city and several
county officials. The conference last
ed for more than two hours and as a
result it is believed and hoped by
those who were in attendance that
this serious nuisance and menace to
the health and morals of the young
men of the community will be abated.
1t is the intention of the ministers Of
the city to wage not only campaign
for the abatement of the infected or
restricted area Of the city but one of
general purity.
The conference on Monday after
noon was the result of amovement
set on foot by the minister's ALI.
ance several weeks ago when the
question Of a campaign for better
morals was taken up. A committee
was appointed to confer with the city
officials with the meeting of Monday
as the consequence. The meeting
was a harmonious one, there was no
disposition on the part of the minis
ters to criticise, they simply asked
for cooperation. The attitude Of the
officials generally was most sympa-
thetic and the ministers we're opti-
mistic after the meeting closed that
progress had been made.
While no definite statements or as
surances were made it is confidently
hoped that the officials will actively
cooperate in an effort to enforce the
laws against houses of the character
of those against which the campaign
will be waged. In their efforts to
bring about better things in the COM
munity the ministers have been as
sured of the hearty sympathy and
support of many of the officials of
their several churches.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
ABOUT THE CITY HAVE
MADE FINE PROGRESS
MONTH OF APRIL HAS AFFORD.
ED FINE WEATHER FOR
OUTSIDE WORK.
WORK ON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
Men Are Almost to Third Story of the
Building, While at the Residence of
the County Sheriff They Are Well
Upon the Walls.

Work upon the Central High
School building, which is being erect
ed on the Athenaeum lot, is now pro.
ceeding upon the second story. The
brick work is almost to the third
story.
There is another feature in which
the work is getting ready to take
rapid steps. The large crane on the
second floor has been put up and is
now ready to place the large stone
columns in place at the entrance.
They are about two feet in diameter
and require pretty heavy crane to
lift them into place.
The. work is proceeding about as
rapidly as possible. The weather for
the whole month of April has been
very fine for all kinds of building
work and not a day has been lost
during this time. The indications
now are that the building is going to
be completed some time before that
which the contract calls for.
At the residence, which the county
is building for the sheriff, the work
men are also making steady progress,
That part of the foundation, which
was thought to be damaged by the
freezes of the winter season, was torn
away shortly after the first of this
month, and the brick masons have
been going steadily up with the walls.
The work is being carefully superin-
tended by the Jail committee from
the county court.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
PROCLAIMED GREATEST.
EVER HELD IN COUNTY.
GREAT IN POINT OF NUMBERS,
CHARACTER AND uNANIMITY
OF SENTIMENT.
yUT INITIAL STEP IN The Fight
Sees In the Meeting the Dawn of a
New Era of ProgressiVeness and
Enterprise Among the Citizens Of
the Great County Of Maury.

That was the greatest meeting in
many respects that / ever attended in
Maury county," was the way one
prominent citizen summarized this
morning the good roads mass meet
inc that was held here Monday in the
court house.
1T was a great meeting in point
Of numbers, for the circuit court room
was packed, it was great meeting
from the standpoint of the citizens
who composed it, for they were OF
the best that the county produces,
and it was great meeting from the
viewpoint Of it's unanimity, for there
was hardly a dissenting voice in the
assembly.
THAT meeting Monday was but the
initial step in the fight for better
roads in this county. was surprised
that there were so many at 1t. /
thought there would be possibly fifty
or seventy-five on hand, as is usually
the case, when some financial matter
is to be discussed, for most men are
pretty shy of such meetings. But the
resolution, the determination, the ev-
ident purpose that was displayed by
the leading men of every section of
the county for better roads was . rev.
elation to me. Not only was the great
majority in favor of bond issue, but
many of them went so far as to ad-
vocate a $500,000 issue. Some of
them could hardly be restrained from
asking the representatives Of the
county in the legislature to introduce
an enabling act for that amount.
Il can see the dawn of a new era
of progressiveness in this great coun.
ty. can see the evidences of new
spirit of enterprise at work among its
great citizenship. The light is be-
ginning to break upon it, and when
its full radiance is felt, we are going
to have not only better roads, but
better schools, better churches and
more community spirit"

WATER PROBLEM
AT POOR HOUSE
PLENTY HEREAFTER FOR ALL
PURPOSES AS THE RESULT
OF WELL.

The water problem at the county
poor house has been solved at last.
For long time the question of hav-
ing an abundance of water at that in

missioners and the county officers,
but finally it was decided to bore a
well and at forty-seven feet magnif-
icent stream was struck. one that
promises water in the greatest abun-

G FOR FARMERS

Nearly six million dozen eggs were
imported into this country in 1914, ae-
cording to Commerce and Navigation
of the United States, 1914" Only a
million and a half dozen were imported
in 1913. OF dried yolks and frozen
eggs there were imported in 1913 only
22S,0 pounds, but in 1914 the impor-
tations grew to 100000, an increase
of 1900 per cent. Why this increasef
In 1913 eggs paid an import duty of
five cents a dozen, but in 1914 were
free. Yolks and frozen eggs were kept
out by a rs per cent ad valorem duty
in 1913, but this was reduced to ten
per cent in 1914.
Some were laid in Germany,
And some in far Japan;
And some were laid in China,
In the days of Genghis Khan.
But whence they came or where they
went,
This though gives small enjoyment,
The hens and ROSTERS in this land
Were robbed of their employment. ,
Allowing an average per hen of leo
eggs a year, the Importation of these
100000 eggs threw 100000 hens out
of work for 1914, or put 100000 on
hale time. 1t is dangerous to comment
on this for fear the rejoinder of the
Democratic party may be that we are
espousing the cause Of the hen rather
han that of the American working
man, and besides the hens which suf-
fered enforced idleness had just so
much more time to improve their minds
in the study of psychology.

MAY APPLY
TO MINERAL LANDS

Bv a recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court, patents TO OIL
bearing lands in California that had
been issued to the Southern Pacific
company were cancelled.
In its findings the Court states that
from the evidence the lands in question
are shown to be worthless for agricul-
tural purposes, but were valuable prin-
cipally for their oil bearing possibili-
ties.
1t would seem that the same rule
may be applied to Nevada mineral
lands, to which the Southern Paclhc
ompan has been granted patent, no
tably the land about Barrett Springs.
/. is a notorious fact that these lands
are only valuable for their mineral,
but it has heretofore been contended
that as the patents were granted more
than three years ago, the statute Of
limitations prohibits claim locators
from questioning the railroads title.
In its recent decision, in which il
decides against the validity of the
Southern Pacific patent, the Supreme
Court seems to have reversed former
decisions and it is probable that suits
to patent mineral lands held by the
railroad may now be successfully pros
ecuted.
