MAURY c. 0. P. TO
HAVE FIVE VOTES IN
STATE CONVENTION
TO ASSEMBLE IN NASHVILLE ON
MAY 8 TO NAME GOVERNOR
AND SENATOR.
HARMONY IN The tONMI 7 /
Gov. Hooper Attends and Indicates
That He Would Like to Be the Nom
inee for the United States Senate.
Local Convention.

Maury county will have five votes
in the republican state convention to
be held at Nashville on May 3, to NOM
mate candidates for governor and
United States Senator and select del
egates to the republican national con-
vention. The county will have dele
gate for every 200 votes cast for Taft
and Roosevelt in 1912.
This was the basis of representa-
ton fixed by the republican state
committee at it's meeting in Nash
Vile Thursday. The sentiment for
two conventions was not strong and
one convention only will be held by
the party, departure from the prec-
edent of 1912 when Gov. Hooper was
long in advance Of the
national convention. County republi-
can conventions, to be called by the
local committees, will select dele
gates to the state convention. These
county conventions cannot be held be-
fore the first Monday in February or
later than the first Monday of April.
The meeting of the committee is
said to have been harmonious and it
was attended by leaders of the party
from all over the state. Gov Hooper
was one of the chief speakers and
gave out an interview severely crit
lcising the recent democratic prima-
ry. This is taken to Indicate that
the willy ex-governor has his eye on
the senatorial seat and will be can
didate against Mcclellan.

SPLENDID RECORD
OF EGG PRODUCTION
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY
TWO DOZEN ON SLEEPY HoL.
LOW DURING YEAR.

Probably there are few housewives
in Maury county who have had great
er success with poultry, and espec-
tally eggs during the past year than
Mrs. J. |. Finney, of Sleepy Hollow.
During the year she kept an accurate
daily record of the eggs she receiv-
ed and the total was 1922 dozen. Her
hens get just about the same treat
ment that is accorded the average
barnyard fowl in the county, few of
them roosting in the hen house and
the majority of them living about
THE barn and the hog lots and forag-
ing for themselves. They all have a
magnificent range Of blue grass and
plenty OF rye in the winter and are
fed but little. At no time during the
year did she have over 1876 hens. Fig.
uring an average of this number they
laid ninety-one eggs each. The av-
erage farm hen in the United States
lays eighty-four eggs, showing that
these hens exceeded the average by
seven eggs or eight per cent.
During the year Mrs. Finney sold
eggs to the amount of $124.5S and had
200 dozen to use on the table and for
sitting hens. The eggs brought an
average of 15.1 cents per dozen, max
ing the total value of the years pro-
duct $154.S5. The best month was
April with 1870 and 5-12 dozen, but
March was close second with 1S1
and 9-12 dozen. The poorest month
was January with seven dozen and
four and December was next with
eleven dozen and two. The record by
months follows: January, Z 4-12
dozen; February, SO 9-12 dozen;
March, 1S1 3-12 dozen: April, 1870 sig
dozen; May, 142 PIP dozen; June, 12s

NEARLY HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND FOR
BUILDINGS PAST YEAR
COLUMBIA HAS WITNESSED THE
ERECTION OF MANY
STRUCTURES.
!, HIGH SCHOOL AND Thu JAIL
Most Notable in the List, Although
The Permits for Them Were Issued
In the Previous Year; Many Homes
Constructed.

More than 100000 was expended
in building operations in Columbia
during the past year, although there
were no destructive fires that wiped
out property to be replaced.
The permits issued by the city re-
corder during the year aggregated
the sum of $55,O5O, but during the
year the city and county high school
was erected at cost of $6S,O00 and
the handsome new Maury county Jail
was built at cost of approximately
$4,000. These were included in the
totals for 1914 although the money
was all expended and the work
practically all done during the pre-
sent year.
This shows that the building opera
tions in the city aggregated more
than 81, 1000 for every month Of 1915,
making it one of the best years that
the city has ever had. There have
been years when more stores were
erected but they have generally fol-
lowed destructive fires whereas the
buildings constructed during this
year are unique in that they repre-
sent practically that much net gain
in the buildings of the city. If there
was added to this total the buildings
that were constructed adjacent to the
city limits but not included in the
permits the aggregate of expendi-
lures for this purpose would doubt
less total $15O,OOO for the year.
Many new homes, some of them
exceptionally handsome ones, have
been erected during the year adding
very materially to the beauty of the
residential section.

MAURY COUNTAlN
RETURNS FOR VISIT
r. E. JACOBS, ASSISTANT CITY
ENGINEER OF SHREVEPORT,
PRAISES STREETS HERE.

r. E. Jacobs, assistant city engi.
neer of Shreveport, La, who has for
the past week been visiting his moth.
er, Mrs. John McGaw, engaged in
conference with several of the city
fathers at the city hall Friday morn.
ing in regard to asphaltic paving.
Mr.. Jacobs has been connected
with this line of business for the past
twelve years and during the past six
years has been valued factor in the
city affairs of Shreveport. He was
much pleased with the progress be-
ing made by Columbia in the paved
streets.
Shreveport has forty-nine miles of
paved streets, the bulk of which il
lain with Texico asphalt, which
comes direct from the oil fields of
Texas. Mr.. Jacobs stated that some
portions of these ctreets had been
lain for sixteen years without one
penny of cost for the upkeep.
On the last bids offered for the re.
mainder of the streets, the city ia.
theirs were given their choice between
Natural Lake asphalt and Texico as.
phalt, with a difference of IA cents
In cost in favor of Texico. These
two asphalts, it is claimed. have the
same lasting qualities and are alike
in every respect with the exception
Of the necessity of the fuxing Of the
Lake.

BIG REDUCTION N
NUMBER OF ARREST
BY POLICE OF CITY
TWENTY PER CENT LESS IN 1915
THAN IN THE PREVIOUS
YEAR.
VICE AND CRIME REDUCED
Much Credit Is Due to the Active and
Aggressive Course of Chief Nc
Lean and His Associates of the De,
partment.

Columbia had less crime during the
year that closed Friday than during
any previous year since it became a
thriving city. This record is shown
by the reduction in the number of ar.
rests of the police of the city. Dur.
ing 1915 there were seventy-three less
arrests by the police of the city than
we're made during the year previous,
or a reduction of nearly twenty per
cent.
In 1916 there were 1868 arrests by
the police. In 1914 the number was
AL. During the past year the arrests
averaged one day with three over
for good measure. The arrests were
practically all made for minor of.
lenses against the city ordinances and
there were really no serious troubles
to deal with during the entire year.
With population of more than
5000, with railroad junction locat.
ed here and transients from all parts
of the country in the city daily an av.
erage of only one arrest per day is
considered remarkably good. 1t will
probably be generally admitted that
the police have made all the arrests
practically that should have been
made. They have been vigilant in
the discharge of their duty and az.
gressive in the enforcement of the
law with the result that Columbia is
one of the most orderly and safest
cities in the land.
One of he causes for the reduction
in the number of arrests probably
was the closing of the segregated dis.
trict. 1t Is believed that the city is
today freer from vice and crime than
1t has ever been and Chief Mclean
and his associates of the police de.
partment are entitled to much credit
for this condition.

tomary semi-annual dividend of six
per cent and in addition added $4,000

tai.
The Maury County Trust Company
paid its shareholders a semi-annual
dividend of four per cent. This is
the youngest financial institution of
the city.
Phoenix National.

its shareholders ten per cent, the
usual five per cent half year dividend
being paid today. In addition the
bank has added to its surplus until it
now stands at 100000, making the
aggregate capital and surplus of the
bank $225,000 1t has been the con-
sistent policy of this bank, since its
establishment, to add to the banking
capital Of the county. 1t is now with.
in $4,000 of the roll of honor" of
banks whose surplus equals its cap
ital.
Following the lead of the parent,
the Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust
