EVERYONE INTERESTED IS COR.

ATTEND.
STATEMENT Of TIE PRESI EAT
Mr.. petty Declares That So Long As
He is Head bf the Organization
There Will be no Politics In IT.
To Serve the Roads.

Maury County Good Roads Associa-
ton will hold the next meeting in the
county court room at IL o'clock on the
second Saturday of next month, which
will be April s. There are a number
Of important matters to come before
the association at this meeting and
President J. T. Petty urges a full at
tendance of all the members and Of
every one who is interested.
81 wish you would say through The
Herald" said MIR. Petty this morning,
"that every person In Maury county
who is interested in roads, who really
wants to help get good roads. or who
has anything of interest to say upon
the question of road building or road
management, is cordially invited to
attend this meeting. We want them.
There has been a good deal said
about this being a political organiza-
ton. do not know what 1t was In
tended to be or what was In the minds
of the people who attended at the last
meeting but do know that SO far as
the president is concerned, it is not
and will not be a political organiza-
ton. never had any idea, when
was elected, that the organization
would serve any political purpose and
it will not so long as am president.
1T will be, If my ideas obtain,
real help to the road situation in
Maury county. | hope through this
association that we will stimulate in
creased interest in roads. 1t is true
that one of our great troubles is lack
Of interest upon the part Of the people
There are roads in the county where
1t is hard, because of the lack Of in
terest, to get good man to serve as
oyerseer. There are other roads
where there is SO little pride or inter
est in the road that one can hardly
get any assistance in any road move
ment. Now it is my hope that through
this organization we will be able tc
quicken interest in the roads OF the
county.
AS long as | am president the as
socation meetings will be a free for
um. There will be perfect liberty
of speech. Anyone having anything tt
say, holding any grievance, or having
any charged to make will be welcome
to come before the meeting and as
sure him of a courteous hearing
Again want you to give all possible
publicity to the meeting, for we wan
the people to attend"

MILLS RUNNING DAY AND NIGHT

BARRELS.

w. W. Dyer returned this morning
from Hastings, Florida, where he has
been for the past six weeks. Mr..
Dyer said that the recent frosts In
Florida would make the potato crop
unusually late this spring and would
reduce considerably the output. He
had sold about 165,OOO barrels for the
potato crop, but since the frosts the
orders had been reduced to about 1885,

night to fill the orders. Floods in the

Chairman Robert G. Mullins, of the

WOOL PRICES WILL
Be HIGHEST KNOWN
N RECENT YEARS
LOCAL DEALERS EXPECT THIRTY
CENTS OR ABOVE
MARKET.
CLIP OF COUNTY TO BE LIGHT
But The Returns TO Sheep Growers
For Wool and Lambs viii be the
Best That They Have Ever Known
Average Clip per Eve.

Although the wool clip Of the coun.
ty will be the smallest known in many
years, the prices at which it will be
sold will bring the farmers who were
far-seeing enough to have sheep a
big profit. Wool will open this year
higher than it has been in several
years, higher than since 1909 and prob.
ably it will exceed the price that farm
ers received at that time.
An opening market of thirty cents
for good wool, free from burs, is as
sured in the opinion Of local dealers.
It will probably be better than this.
In fact, 1t would not be surprising II
during the coming year new records
were not set for wool just as they are
being fixed for lambs.
The average wool clip per eve for
the farmers of this county is close to
Ave pounds from the native Southdown
ewes, the favorite breed with Maury
county farmers. At thirty cents this
means a wool clip of $3.50 per head.
During the past flve years the average
has not been over 81 per head. With
lambs selling close to the ten cent
mark, it does not require much of a
mathematician to show the good times
that are ahead for the sheep growers
of this county.
