TERRIFIC RAIN IN
ALL PARTS COUNTY
MUCH DAMAGE DONE
MORE THAN TWO INCHES FELE
DURING THE AFTERNOON
SUNDAY.
STREAMS Are OUT OF BAN S
Corn in the Bottoms ls Literally Bur-
led and Wheat Is Washed Away;
Fences and Water Gates Also Go
Down In the Flood.


One of the most terrific rains that
ever fell in Maury county caused
floods on Sunday afternoon and did
immense damage over all portions of
the county and especially on farms
lying along and close to the creeks
and streams. Lands were badly
washed, In places where they had
been freshly cultivated they were
streaked with gulleys and in the bot
toms immense amounts of soil were
washed down. Corn in the low plac.
es was literally buried in the soil
that was brought down from the high
lands. Wheat shocks, oats, fence
rails and almost a little of everything
was washed away.
Considerable damage was done to
the roads and pixies of the county by
the washing rains. In places along
the pixies the metal is completely b@-
led in mud and in other places ne
roads are washed out to the rock or
subsoil. Hillside fields are almost lit.
orally ruined in places. Along the
Little Bighy, Rutherford Creek, Foun-
tain Creek and other streams Of the
county great havoc was wrought.
Corn that was knee high and more in
bottom fields along these streams was
washed up by the roots. Wheat and
oats that had been cut were almost
ruined and meadows in places have
a heavy deposit of silt that will ma
terially lessen the crop Of hay.
Two and one-twentieth inches of
rain fell during Sunday afternoon. In
low places in Columbia the streets
were flooded and Helms Branch was
way out OF. its banks. People had
some difficulty in navigating until the
waters had subsidized There was com
paratively little wind else the dam.
age would have been very much great
er. In many sections of the county it
was declared that more rain fell than
has been known since the cyclone of
1918. While there was good deal
Of thunder and lightning accompany
ing the rain, no damage from the
lightning has been reported except
few trees struck.

FARMERS ENDORSE
MOVEMENT FOR A
LOCAL CREAMERY
SEVERAL HAVE OFFERED TIC
SUBSCRIBE STOCK IN SUCH
AN ENTERPRISE.
RRaMOTERS ARE MUCH GRATIFIED
Prospects for Organization of the Err
terprise Are Regarded As Very,
Rriaht-What Has Been Done Else-
where Could Be Done Here.

The movement to have co-opera-
tive creamery in Columbia is pro-
crossing nicely. Since the publication
in The Herald last week of the efforts
that several dalrymen are making for
the establishing of this enterprise
half dozen farmers have assured the
promoters of their interest and CO.
operation. 1t is not believed that
there will ibe any serious difficulty
experienced in raising the stock nec-
essary if only earnest work is done
and thorough canvass made.
Several farmers who have been
making an investigation of the oper-
alton Of cReameries, at Chapel Hill and
at Winchester and other points are
convinced that one would be even
more profitable if located at Colum-
hia. This county has many adyantag-
es for a dairy that Franklin county
in particular does not possess and
that creamery there is paying enough
for the products of the farm to at
tract shipments from Columbia.
One farmer who is now supplying
over fifty pounds of butter to the Co.
lumbia market declared today that
he would be only too glad to take
stock in the cooperative creamery
and send to it all the produces of his
dairy. Another farmer who is ship
ping hundreds of gallons of cream
every year away from the county
made the same statement.
The, plant and equipment OF a
creamery is not expensive. In Win
chester the farmers subscribed the
stock, and have paid for five years
a profitable price to dairymen and at
the end of each year have shown a
profit which was returned to thepa-
irons of the creamery, the effect be-
ing simply an increased price or bo-
nus for the products of the farm. In
this system the farmers get every
dollar, less necessary expenses, that
is received by the creamery for its
product.

RATES ON
AUTOMOBILES ON THE
COUNTY TOLL. ROADS
cuLLEokA AND KEDRoN Pixies
ADVANCE THE CHARGES TO
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
The OTHERS MAY FOLLOW SUIT
Not improbable That Other Roads
Will Also Make Forty Per Cent Ad-
vance-Done to Meet the Increased
Taxes Levied by State.

Automobile owners and drivers are
facing a decided raise in toll rates
in Maury county. On at least two of
the pixies in the county the inceras-
ed rates have already gone into ef-
feet. They are the Culleoka and Co
lumbia pike and the Spring Hill and
kedron pike. The former is operated
by Richard A. Wilkes, of Culleoka,
who stated that in view of the heavily
increased taxation on the pike an in
crease of rates where possible would
have to be made. Mr.. Wilkes also
cut out yearly rates and tolls on a
credit. The Kedron pike is operated
by H. A. Parham and the rates were
raised there for the same reasons that
actuated Mr.. Wilkes.
One of the turnpike managers in
discussing the increased rates this
morning said: "The state has. lev
led tax of $40 per annum on our
toll gates The county may do the
same thing, making the total $50
per gate. That is a big increase.
II isEoyer six dollars per month.
We simply will have to have more
revenue. The automobiles are hard
er on the roads than any vehicle, they
are worse, when going at a high rate
of speed than log wagon. Again,
the automobile owners are generally
among the well to do and will feel
the burden less than the others. In
Williamson county the automobiles
have been charged a quarter all the
time and we are assuredly entitled to
as much"
Maury is one of the few counties
that charges less than a quarter.

That this county is full of fine. lime
rock of heavy percentage OF lime and
should be ground and applied to the
land has long been urged by the ag-

sive farmers have already begun to
lime their, land and others have the

plation. Among the latter is John M.
Andrews, of Culleoka, who has had a

It was 9S.15 pure lime. Doubtless
there is an abundance of rock just as
good on nearly every farm in the

CENTS IN ST. LOUIS BLASTS
HOPES.
NINETY CENTS is PREDICTED
Well Known Buyer Declares Firm
Conviction That the Opening ON the
New Crop viii Not Be Cent Above
That Figure.

All hope for dollar wheat from the
tbresher appears to have been blasted
this morning when the st. Louis mar
ket broke two cents on July options
and for the first time in many months
the new crop was quoted at less than
me dollar on that market, July sell
ing for SO cents.
One prominent local produce 1irm
this morning declared that the indica-
tions now were that the wheat mar
ket here would open at not over nine
lty cents a bushel. Some time ago
this firm, as were most all Others,
believed that the year of dollar wheat
at the thresher had dawned, but the
last yestige of hope that such "a price
would be realized went to the bad
this morning. With the market
breaking cent to two cents every
day some of the local millers are not
evenSwilling to hazard the guess that
they will be able to pay ninety cents
on the day that the new wheat be-
gins to roll into Columbia.
Never in years has the range of
wheat prices been so wide in Colum-
bia as it has been this year. Farmers
here have sold their wheat for as
much as $1.65 since the first of the
year The market then went off
about thirty cents and then back
again almost to the high point. Nov
cash wheat is worth but $1.15 and the
new crop may be sold at ninety cents
