MEETING URGED TO
PUT COLUMBIA ON
JACKSON HIGHWAY
TELEGRAM SENT BY SECRETARY
BOARD OF TRADE TO CON.
COURSE AT BIRMINGHAM.
INVITATION TO MEET HERE
AS the Most Centrally Located Point
on the Route, Columbia Would
Make the Best Place for the Next
Meeting.
(Fdiray's Daily.)

Ashley B. Sowell, secretary of the
Board of Trade, sent to the meeting
In the interest of the Jackson high.
way which was held at Birmingham
today a lengthy telegram in which he
urged that Columbia be considered as
one OF the points through which the
highway shall pass. He also extend.
ed to the meeting a most cordial invi.
tation to hold their next meeting at
this place. Mr. Sowell brought out
the fact that Columbia was the most
centrally located of any city on the
proposed highway, and that great
and enthusiastic meeting could be
held at this place on account of the
location and the strength of senti-
ment in the county in favor Of the
road. r @t
The Board of Trade seems to be de-
termined that this great highway
shall pass through Columbia and
Maury county. They fully realize
what great boon it would be to the
people, and are going to do all in
their power to bring the highway
through this section.
That the highway will be construct
ed, is practically certain, and that II
will pass through some of the towns
south Of Nashville. is equally as sure.
The effort Is now being made to make
Columbia one OF the lucky cities. The
board feels sure that Maury county
is suficient IN itself to attract such
q proposition this way. and Tie manyt
historic spots IN and about Columbia
will furnish an additional reason for
punshing to success the claims of this
section.
The highway as proposed will run
from Detroit to Indianapolis, from
thence to Louisville, then to Nash
vile, and by some route not yet de.
termined to New Orleans,

TO Do AWAY WITH
MIDDLE MANS PROFIT
OBJECT Of NEE TING
FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION IS
ORGANIZED FOR INTEREST
OF PRODUCER.
TO. INCORPORATE FOR s2,5OO
One Hundred Shares at s25 Per Share.
No One May Own More Than Five
shares-Man viii Be Kept in East
ern Market During Season.

The Tennessee Fruit Growers Asso-
citation met Monday in the court
house to organize and to adopt a con-
stitution and bylaws and to arrange
to incorporate under the above name.
1t was intended to call the organiza-
ton the Middle Tennessee Fruit
Growers Association, but the demand
for membership has been SO great
from other portions of the state that
the members decided to adopt the
new name SO that the growers from
other portions of the state might be
admitted to membership The asso-
citation will for the present be incor-
porated for $4,000 and each share will
be for twenty-five dollars, hundred
shares being issued. No one may
own, vote or control more than five
shares of the stock.
An Office will be established in Co.
lumbia to look after the management
and interests of the association. The
object of the association is to provide
the growers with facilities for hand
ling their crops, and to provide ways
of marketing with the best possible
speed and lowest cost. During the
fruit growing season a man will be
kept IN one of the great central mar
kets who will work exclusively in the
interest Of the gfoN6rs BY this
method the members Of the associa-
are expecting to save for the
Fers two middle mems profits,
REsch VII amount to about twenty
per cent Or the value Of the goods
shipped.
The members are enthusiastic in
their belief that the association is on
the eve of doing great things. By
this method they think they can keep
from flooding one market, and can so
distribute the various fruits grown in
the state that the growers will get
the best prices They will route the
shipments whenever the growers So
wish, and can obtain cheaper freight
rates in as much as several members
Of the association can pool their in
terests and ship by car load lots.

HUGH 7. SHELTON
NOT IN RUNNING
PROMISING YOUNG LAWYER
WILL NOT SEEK OFFICE OF
CLERK AND MASTER.

Hugh T, Shelton, the promising
young lawyer, prominently mentioned
as a candidate for clerk and master
of the chancery court stated this
morning that while a number of his
friends, including members of the bar,
had been kind enough to tender him
their support that he was not and
would not be an applicant. Had Mr..
Shelton entered the lists there is no
doubt that he, would have made a
strong candidate as he is personally
very popular and is thoroughly quail
fed for the office.

TRANSFERS REALTY
DURING PAST MONTH
SHOW BIG INCREASE
JULY TOTAL EXCEEDS THAT OF
SAME MONTH LAST YEAR
BY $4,000.
ALMOST EQUAL TO LAST YEAR
Total for the Seven Months Of this
Year 10 Only Few Hundred Behind
The Seven Months Proceeding the
Big War in Europe.

Still another comparison shows
that Maury County is in as good or
better financial condition now than
before the European war started.
The real estate transfers for the
month OF July just passed shows
that the amount will exceed that of
last year by $4,000. That this places
Maury County among the solidest
counties of the state from financial
viewpoint may be easily seen. Many
financial troubles have been laid
upon the European war but If these
transfers are to be taken az the
mode by which the condition of a
community is gauged. Maury Coun-
ty must be in the best possible
shape. The figures are for July
1915, $91,99O, and for July 1914,
$8L39O.
This increase almost brings the
figures for this year up to the amount
Of last years. The amount of last
years. transactionh for the first
seven months of the year was $685.
400, while for the first seven months
of 1916 the total amount is $907,-
12O, which reduces the differences
between the two years to 1880.
The past month has been a very
good one for this time of the year.
During the summer months, there is
usually little activity in real pro
pcrty, hut the inteaae heat had dur
ing the month Of July little eject
upon them. It i praaicted by
real estate men OF the CITY tiat Dust
ness in their line will before long
pick up to a considerable extent and
that a great number Of transactions
will take place.
The figures. for the first seven
months of the two years follow:

COMPLETE UIbtST
REGISTRATION LAW
MADE BY CHAIRMAN
FOR USE OF THE OFFICERS IN
THE FORTHCOMING BIENNIAL
REGISTRATION.
THEY Are URGED 10 FOLLOW IT
Chairman Allen Talks Of The NecessL
ty of Strict Compliance With the
Statutes-Registrars Acting for the
Whole People.

Acting under instructions Of the
commissioners of election, Chairman
M. e. Allen has had prepared and
printed digest of the laws governing
the registration of voters to be used
by the registrars of voters of the
county in the approaching general
registration. These instructions are
full and complete, outlining the du-
ties of the registrars from the time
that they take the oath of Office until
after they have completed the regis
tration and returned the books TO the
commissioners Of election.
Chairman Allen is especially anx-
ious that the registrars in the perfor-
nance of their duties shall adhere
strictly to the instructions which are
nothing more or less than a digest of
the law. He urges the registrars to
so conduct the registration that there
will be no ground for complaint uptn a
the part of any one of the manner in
which the registration has been con-
Quoted.
"The registrars should remember"
said Mr.. Allen, "that they are acting
as sworn officials, that they ara serv-
ing the sovereign state Of tennessee.
They are not act as republicans or
as democrats, but as non-partsan Of.
ficials of14hee wIl0Ie peupre. Iney
should be very slow TO deny anyone
the certificate Of registration, but
the should be careful about regis
tering anyone who u NOT entitled to
vote In other words they are cbarg-
ed with the duty of registering only
legally qualified persons. At the
same time they must not be intluenc-
ed in their decision by any personal
or political motive or interest. The
board has attempted to name The very
best men obtainable as registrars and
if they will simply follow the law, as
it is written, the board will be very
much gratified and the people will be
satisfied"

CROWD THR0NGS
PR!MM SPRINGS
MORE PEOPLE THERE THE LAST
WEEKEND THAN EVER Z: !
= BEFORE.

Primm Springs is at present enjoy
the most prosperous season in its
long history. There were six hundred
people at the resort the past weekend
and a still larger crowd is anticipat-
ed this Saturday. Although every
room at the hotels and boarding
houses was occupied, it is thought
that more people can be taken care
of this week on account of the in
creased facilities that have been
added. 1t is announced that automo-
biles will make round trip from Co
lumbia to Primm with party Of four
for $500.

TICKET OFFICE
HAS GOOD MONTH
RECEIPTS BETTER THAN FOR
ANY MONTH SINCE FIRST
OF YEAR.

That business is improving is
shown by the increased travel on the
railroads from Columbia. The past
month is the first one this year that
really makes good reading in compar-
ison with the same month of last
year. Since July, 1914, was a before
the war" month this is an exception
ally good showing for the past July.
AS soon as the war began year ago
the first Of this month, its effects
were plainly visible on the railroad
business and retrench and economize
as they would the roads of the coun-
try were unable to keep up with their
past record for earnings. However,
there Is every indication that the tide
has turned and the past months pas
senger receipts here were probably
the largest of any month since Jan. /.

University of Tennessee, and G. A.
Gilbert, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who were here
on Monday interviewing the farmers
with a view to the establishment at
Columbia of creamery, were very
much encouraged. AS result OF

are interested in the project will be
held and an organization perfected
The two experts collected mass of
data which will be used for the guild
ance of those who are interested
They are in no sense promoters, but

FINE FOUR YEAR
OLDS.

While several high prices were
paid for mules Monday, the highest
was probably that by which r. F.
Moore & Son purchased a pair of fine
four year hybrids for $525. The pair
weighed 2,7O0 pounds. Seldom has
there been seen on the streets Of
this city such a fine looking pair,
and while the price was high, mule
men in the city say that these mules
were worth every cent that they
brought, and perhaps a; little bit more.

ThereEwill be an extra session of
the county court. on Monday, August

considering and acting upon options
on turnpikes, to make appropriations
or provide for the issuance of interest
bearing warrants to pay for the pixies

The court will meet on the call of
County Judge Mcknight who acted at
the request of the turnpike commit
tee. Under the resolution of the
county court at the July term the
judge was authorized to call the meet
ing at the request of the committee.
At it's meeting on Monday after
noon the committee decided to rec
ommend to the court at the coming
session the purchase of the Sowell
Mill turnpike running from Columbia
to and across Duck river, a distance
of five miles. The committee has had
an option on this pike for the past
three weeks, and it was decided to
close the option and recommend that
the road be acquired.
This is the first pike of the lot to be
purchased by the county, 1t is believ-
ed that it will be an entering wedge
and that ultimately all of the pixies

ence to the, other pixies Of the county

the authorities would be able to- make

That congress has no regulation
