HOPEF0RT THE
THIRSTY ONES
CHIEF OF POLICE HUTCHINS
STATES HE WILL BE ON THE
JOB EVERY DAY FOR THE
NEXT TWO YEARS.

There are number of thirsty
individuals in this city, caused by
the activity of the chief of police and
his men. The old familiar haunts
are deserted and nothing stronger
than pink lemonade is dispensed over
counters that hitherto had something
underneath besides city lake water.
In speaking of the matter today
the chief Of police stated that he
was elected by the people to carry
out this policy. and as far as he
was concerned it would be carried
out to the letter. He says that he
has no strings tied to him and owes
allegiance only to the law-abiding
citizens who put him in office and
respecting the wishes of the people
the joints, jointists and bootleggers
were going to have a hard time get
ting by in this town from now on.
Some people seek to think that
this crusade will last about thirty
days" said the chief but you can
tell them that | have been elected
to hold this office for two years and
as long as / do hold it | shall be
on duty personally about 16 out of
the "a hours, and my men have re-
ceived instructions from me what to
do. If they fail, | will get others.
But they will not fail, and this town
is going to be a closed town. If any
person thinks this is bluff, let them
continue. | know them, know their
haunts and know every trick of the
game. If they get by, they will have
TO spring something new. because
have been in this business for twen-
ty-fve years, and there is not an
angle to the whiskey business that
| am not familiar with"
Some of the old-timers here state
that there is not a chance to do
business and are preparing to move.
The officers on their beats, visit all
the old haunts at unexpected hours
many times each day and their visits
are getting on the nerves of the
proprietors, who are preparing to hunt
more congenial climes in which to
ply their trade.

Supremacy Of Thought.

Thoughts are important factors In
the molding Of a life. They may
not be seen but they bespeak of la
tent power, the trend of the mind,
the hopes and aspirations of the
heart We marvel at some of the
inventions and achievements of the
age. But the thoughts OF the in
ventor rushed on ahead Of the in.
vention. The mind of the man who
achieves sees the possibility, and
works il out, long before the world
is aware of IT, This is true in all
the varied phases of life. The
thought is the father of the act, the
word OF the deed. Tell me the
thoughts uppermost in a mans mind
and l will tell you what he will do
and become tomorrow. II his
thoughts are miserly he will become
niggardly, If benevolent then charit-
able, IL lewd then base, If pure then
a man in whom there is no guile. II
you master the inner world Of
thought victory will be yours in the
outer world of achievement.-Frank
Willard Court.

Oklahoma City. Okla, May AT
torney General Freezing has rendered
an opinion for the authorities of Cleve-

Santa Fe Railroad at Purcell must
pay the state license fee if charges are
made for use of the tables, even if
their use is restricted to the railroad
men. 1t is held that this brings the
hall within the law requiring license

DOUBLE TAX ON
LUNCH STANDS
MANY OF THEM WILL BE PUT
OUT OF BUSINESS BY THE
REVENUE LAW.

Lunch stands or eating houses az
distinguished from restaurants, are
among the businesses that will feel an
added burden of taxation as the result
Of the new revenue law of the state
Heretofore the state taxes on lunch
stands have been $40 per annum, max.
ing the state and county taxes and
fees 81 for three months. The same
tax applies under the new law, but
there is a joker that practically doub-
les the license, for it is provided, that
where lunches are served except II
o'clock a. m. and o'clock p. m. lunch
stands must pay as restaurants The
latter are taxed by the state $40 per
annum. Now there are very few, if
any lunch stands in Maury county
that operate for the four hours men.

SPECIAL TAXES
SOME PEDDLERS
CLOTHING VENDORS NOW COME
IN CLASS WITH CLOCKS
AND RANGES.

Persons, firms or corporations may
sell hats or shoes or barbed wire OF
hen coops through peddlers or agents
in Tennessee and pay a privilege tax
to the state of $3.50 per annum. But
if the same shall sell clocks or ranges

TO Be PRE- SENTEDAT
NEW GRAND JUNE q.
GREAT PRODUCTION OF LIFE OF
SOUTHERN HERO COMING
TO CITY.
UNDER AUSPICES OF HOSPITAL
Many of the Scenes Were Taken at
the Columbia Military Academy and
the Characters Are Well Known to
the People Here.
the Columbia n

Sam Davis, the great picture OF
the life and scenes of that great
Southern hero, will be presented al
the New Grand here on Monday and
Tuesday, June 81 and %, under the
auspices of the Kings Daughters Hos
pital board.
This wonderful picture made a
great hit at the reunion at Richmond
where it was presented for the first
time. 1t is now running at Nashville
and is being witnessed by record
breaking crowds.
Y This picture is said by those who
know to most truthfully and correct
ly depict the life of the martyr of the
South who yielded his life at Pulaski
rather than betray those who had
trusted him.
This picture will have an especial
interest to Maury county people.
Many of the best scenes we're laid at
the Columbia Military Academy. All
of the characters are Tennesseans
and several are well known in this
city. The sketch was written by a
talented Nashville author, Mrs. Lii.
liam Nicholson Shearon, and it is be-
ing produced under the personal di.
rection of Mrs. veraShearon Ander-
son.
Arrangements for the production
of the picture here were made this
morning by Mrs. Luther McAdams, of
the Kings Daughters hospital board.
Not only will the picture be well
worth seeing but the profits from its
production here will go to the most
worthy cause, the Kings Daughters
Hospital.

SLIGHT HITCH IN
RIGHTS OF WAY
CAUSING DELAY IN MOVING THE
WokHoUSE TO NEW THIRD
DISTRICT ROAD.

Because of the refusal of some of
the land owners along the right of
way of the proposed new county road
from Rally Hill to Kedron to Neapo-
lis, to sign deeds or move back their
fences, there has been a delay in be-
ginning work ON the road. The road
upon which the work house hands
have been at work is finished and has
been for some time and the county
commission is ready to move to the
new road just as sooon as everything
is ready. However, Judge Mcknight
and the members of the commission
have declared that they will not move
until everything is ready. In other
words the right of way must be fixed
and secured before a shovel of dirt
is thrown or the location of the work
house is changed. ANY other course
would be to invite expense or trouble.
1t Is believed, however, that all of the
rights of way will be obtained this
week.
In the meantime the work house
hands are not idle. While waiting for
matters to be adjusted on the new road
they have been busily engaged in the
construction of road from the new
pike, just finished, by Braynt's Sta
ton and in the direction of the Orr
pike into Marshall county. Record
work has been done on this road,
about mile having been built in
much less than a months time.
