MURFREEsBORO, Tenn, June 7
Splendid progress is being made BY
the State Normal school in examin.
ing and grading the papers of Middl.
Tennessee. 1t is believed that much
smaller per cent Of the teachers in
this division will fail than has been
anticipated. Examiners generally ex
press qualification with the answers
to the questions and the belief prevail.
without adding and formal tablatine
that the proportion of failures will be
small. 1t is understood that the Mau
ry county teachers have submitted
splendid papers, their answers in
many respects being far above the
answers made by teachers in some
of the other cunties. Naturally moth.
ing in the way of definite informa.
ton can be obtained at this time but
II is pretty straight tip that the
Maury county list will be a crafty.

June ALSO FALLING FAR BEHIND
Looks Like Record for This Month
VIII Be Even Worse Than That Of
Last and County Court Clerk Lips
comb Would Like to Know Reason.

Whats the matter with D. Cupid,
ESQ, these days in Maury county,"
That is a question to which Arch w.
1ipscomb, whose business 1t is to is
sue the bonds that give legal effect
to the work of the little god, would
Nike to have satisfactory answer. Mr..
Cupid has not been doing his duty in
these parts according to Clerk Lips
comb, who has the solemn records
TO back up his statement. Matrimo-
ny is not nearly so popular at this
time of the year in these diggins"
as it generally is.
Figuers prove that D. Cupid has not
been busy. For example durinv the
month of May Just ended Clerk Lips
comb issued only twenty-five marri-
age licenses. That was less than one
for every business day, to say nothing
of Sundays. In May of last year the
little love idol did almost twice as
well in the county, forty licenses be-
ing issued.
June, supposed to be the favorite of
all months with the lovers, shows no
evidence Of doing any better. In the
FIRST three days Of this month one
lone, SOLITARY license was issued. In
the same three days of last year three
licenses we're issued, or one every
day.
It is highly probable that if any
one could find satisfactory solution
OF the trouble and restore matrimony
to its one time popularity in Maury
county he could claim suitable re-
ward from the county court clerk,
who has besides a sentimental inter-
est in marriages much more sub
stantial one, for upon every marriage
the clerk gets fee which proves
m ever present help.

Business Depression Resulting From
4 the Great War Seemingly Has Nc
Effect Upon Determination of Peo
Pile to Buy Maury Realty.

In spite of the war and general ii
dAciaI depression the demand for
Maury county real estate, as shown
by the transfers probated at the OF.
&c Of County Clerk Lipscomb, shows
substantial increase during the past
five months as compared with the
same months of the previous year.
During the past month there w S
a notable revival of real estate trans
actions, the transfers for the month
of May being three times as large az
they were in May, 1914. In the pa
month real estate to the value of $277-
$50 was conveyed in Maury county.
in the same month of 1914 the total
was $S2,4OO.
The total transfers of realty for the
first five months of the current year
were $72S,990 as compared with Sis
$50 for the first five months ending
on May 81, 1914. The latter period
was long before the beginning of III
European war Regardless of the ef-
feet of depression in other lines of
business it assuredly has not affected
the demand for Maury county lands.
The increase for the first five months
of this year over the same months c.
last year was $4,000. Tins Is about
two per cent.

RECORD PROFITS
FROM FEW SHEEP
HAMPSHIRE FARMER GETS S11.5C

T. w. Kirkpatrick, of Hampshire,
probably holds the record for profits
from one eve. The lambs and wool
from this one eve were sold today
for total of $3.50 Mr.. kirkpatrick
still has the eve left and money would
hardly buy her. She raised three fine
lambs. From nine ewes, all that he
had, Mr.. Kirkpatrick sold $1O3.5O
worth of lambs and wool, or an aver.
age for each eve of $11.50. This sim
ply represents the product or an orig.
inal investment of probably $50. 1t

gressive farmer that there is no mon.

Coincident with the publication Of

throw the forces of all the attending
leaders in the stricken republic and

threw. Americans can have no quar-
rel with Mexicans about any govern
ment which they choose to set up, but
it seems that the kind of rule with
which Porfirio Diaz managed to keep

Sewage Disposal.
Norwich Bulletin.

Even thought it has been modified,
the action which was taken by the
house upon the bill concerning sew
age disposal indicates progress in u
movement which has been underway
for several years and, if concurred in
by the senate and it became a law,
will permit start being made
towards the solution of big problem.
Wherever it is possible at the pres
ent time sewage systems empty into
the rivers of the state with the re-
suit as investigation shows that
some of the streams are already ser
iously polluted and furnish a men
ace to the health conditions. The vol
ume of water in some of the larger
rivers makes the situation less dan
gerous under = prevailing conditions,
but with a steady increase in the
size of cities, the development of other
communities and accompanying sewer
systems more extensive, use of the
inlands waters, is threatened, with
corresponding increase in, the dan
ger to public health and safety.
1t was for the. purpose of checking
this that the measure was proposed
the original bill giving authority to
correct existing conditions and pre-
vent further increase. That gave
powers and made it possible to sad
die tremendous expense upon cities
which have already spent large sums
upon sewer system which make use
of the rivers, as~well .as upon man
ufacturers. The modification can
therefore be looked upon as a SEN
sible handling of this matter, placing
as it does an efficient and effective
control over the situation as it exists
ana guarding the streams against fu-
ture abuse.

More jersey Justice.
(Aibany Argus. }

An Incident that occurred at Pas
sale, n. j., few days ago reveals the
fact that New Jersey has an excellent
law that is calculated to put stop
to the practice Of joy-riding in that
state A wealthy club man of Passaic
took aboard a cargo of the stuff that
exhilarates, and went out in his au-
tomobile. While driving his car
through the streets he ran into a
wagon, overturned it and the driver
was thrown to the pavement.
In his sit up" state the automobile
list considered it an insult for a COM
mon person driving horse and wagon
to get in the way of the motor car
of a wealthy citizen. Instead of con-
filming himself to the expression of his
Indignation in words, however, he fell
into the man he had knocked out of
the wagon and punmeled him. Tn
fortunately the latter could not han
die his fists as cleyerly as the club
man, and went under.
A policeman who was on his job
arrested the wealthy club man and
took him before magistrate. To the
Joy riders surprise the judge did not
agree with the defendants point of
view that a poor man who was UNI
able to own an automobile had no
rights on the, Streets.
There is law in New Jersey that
makes it a misdemeanor for any per-
son under the influence of liquor to
drive an automobile and also makes
jail sentence mandatory in case of
conviction. Under this law the mag
istrate sentenced the joy rider to
thirty days in Jail and fine of SO.
A fine of several hundred dollars would
have been light punishment for this
rich man, but by the time he gets
out of Jail he will, in all probability,
make solemn resolution to refrain
from going out in his motor car when
he is in his cups.
There should be a law like this in
every state. Joy riding in most states
is about as common as ever and is
responsible for many accidents and not
a few fatalities. The way to stop it
is to impose stiff Jail sentences ON Of
tenders.

That Sewerage Problem.
Hartford Times.)

In its present from the sewage bill
with which the Connecticut legisla-
turez is struggling is probably an
advance over the present situation.
1t forbids pollution of the waters of
the state and defines what is to be
understood by waters of the state"
It requires the state. board of health
to investigate all points of sewage
discharge and to examine all exist
ing or proposed public sewerage sys-
tens and refuse disposal plants, and
s"compel their operation in a man
ner which shall protect the public
heathl." It provides that after the
passage of the act no public sewer
age system or refuse disposal plant
shall be built until the state board
of health. but it does not, SO far as
we can see, provide that the prog
rcss Of the work thus described shall
be depended on the approval of the
board of health. Apparently reli-
ance is placed on the power to inter-
fere after the work has been begun
or finished. and il this is the case
there Is room for another amend
ment. 1t is true that the discharge
of sewage is forbidden, and that the
means provided for correcting the
evil after. it had come into existence
may be sufficient, but this seems

A Trade School i'm China.

One quarter of the great province
of Shantung, whose name so frequent
~ appears in Geographic news from
the Orient nowadays, is governed by
the city of Tung chang flu. The mill
tary, political and educational head
quarters for the eight or nine million
people in the district all center here,
and the city is, therefore, an import
ant religious center for work of the
American Boards mission in Shan
tung. Rev. E. w. Ellis of the boards
staff at Lintsingchow describes a re-
cent weeks work in Tung chang i'll
in the course of which he studied
som e of the higher schools which the
new China is trying SO hard to main
tain. Mr.. Ellis says:
t'The normal school is one of the
four of highest rank in the province,
and has an attendance of one hund-
red and sixty The middle school has
one hundred and thirty and two other
schools have a com bined attendance
Of over hundred. One of these is the
Industrial school. Here from each
of the twenty mine districts governed
by the city, FIVE boys are allowed to
come and study trade.
"The teaching includes Chinese
printing, book making, and the max
ing of military uniforms-the stitch
ing being done on American sewing
machines. We also visited the indus
trial prison where weaving and shoe
making were being carried on by the
inmates"
This story represents trem endous
change in the educational ideals of.
China and on methods of treating pris-
oners. No wonder an American pres
ident of a Chinese college declared not
long ago that living in China just now
is like being in the transformations
of an Arabian Nights story.
