and w. James Russell, of the Eighth
district, were nominated for represen-
tatives from Maury county in the coun-
ty legislative convention this morning
&C. n McKennon was the only other
candidate placed in nomination, but
his name was withdrawn at the close
of the balloting and the nominations
made unanimous.
Hon. D. d. Humphreys, of Lewis
county, was endorsed for the senate
and the delegates from this county
instructed to vote as unit for him.
This insures his nomination.
The convention was harmonious and
was in session less than one hour.
There was little contest over anything.
The administration of President Will
son, Gov. Rye and Treasurer Porter
Dunlap were endorsed. The candi-
dacies of B. A. Enloe, for railroad
commissioner; K. D. McKellar for the
senate, and l.. P. Padgett for congress,
were likewise endorsed
The convention was called to order
: at 10 o'clock by Chairman w. C. Whit
thorne, of the county democratic com
mittee. On motion of Charles P.
Hatcher, John S. Brown, of the Third
district was elected temporary chair
man and William P. Morgan, of the
Ninth district, was elected temporary
secretary.
In accepting the chair, Col Brown
expressed his deep appreciation of the
honor conferred upon him. He de.
clared that the result of the election
Saturday and his selection were en-
dorsements of the work of the joint
investigating committee of county af.
fairs made last spring and as such
gave him the very greatest satisfac-
ion. He was loudly applauded. The
roll of delegates was called by Secre.

7WENTY-THREE THOUSAND DOL
LARS CONSUMED BY FIRE OF
UNKNOWN ORIGIN.
BUT VERi SMALL INSURANCE
Fire Department Does Good Work In
Preventing Spread of Flames to The
Warehouse in Which Was Much
Wheat-Rebuildine Not Decided.

With a loss of $4,000, the mill OF
the Maury Milling Co., at Mt. Pleasant,
was destroyed by a fire of unknown
origin at three o'clock Sunday after
noon. Of the loss, $4,000 was con
sumed in the burning of the mill;
$4,000 in the flour that was stored,
and $4,000 in the bags and fixtures OF
the mill. On both mill and contents
there was but $15,50O insurance.
The Mt. Pleasant fire department
answered the alarm promptly, but the
interior of the mill was mass oi
flames before the arrival of the fire
fighters on the scene. They were un
able to check the fire in the mill, but
did good work in preventing its spread
to the outlying buildings. The effec
ual resistance to the progress of the
fire saved the warehouse nearby, in
which was a tank that contained
large quantity of wheat. The loss
would have been much greater If il
had not been for the department.
Whether the mill will be rebuilt
has not as yet been decided, as the
stockholders have not met. Their
meeting, in the near future, will de-
termine whether the Maury Milling
Co. will continue to operate.
The plant of the Maury Milling Co
had a daily capacity of 150 barrels OF
-four Ten men were employed in the
mill itself. Lying in rich wheat sec
ton, il had always claimed a large
share of the patronage of the sur
rounding country.

CRIMSON CLOVER

sTAND-DRoUTH DREADED.

Reports from over the county con-
tinue to lament the condition of the
crimson clover crop which was plant
ed in a large acreage. In the Culleoka
section nothing but the charred re-
mains of a once fiourishing stand are
to be found. In the Cross Bridges
neighborhood the clover is burned al
most to powder. Unless a rain comes
within the next week winter pasturage
will be a problem to the farmers Of
the county. Many have expressed the
belief, however, that if good gully

the crimson clover may be resolved
and winter pasturage secured.

warninq From Juvenile court.

Leniency is being checked in juven-
lie court, which is giving due recogni-
ton to the fact that the transgression
of children is often due to parents who
neglect their duties.
There is altogether too much temp
tation for stealing in one form or an
other for the boys and girls of this
city, and with the approach of Christ
mas even greater temptations are of
fered and opportunities had. The
trouble with parents is that they do
not watch their children closely
enough, and do not investigate how
and where they spend the many hours
away from home and who the chill
dren are they associate with When
children going into department stores
and other places to steal bring home
stolen goods, instead of investigating
and forcing the children to return the
articles many parents defend them
Judge Karel, presiding judge in jul
venile court, is dealing seriously with
these cases, and excuses are not being
accepted. Parents are asked to take
a well meant warning. Fathers and
mothers not needing the court will
find it serious business" says the
judge.
When faulty parents and careless
guardians realize that punishment is
going to be theirs if merited, perhaps
we will have fewer children doing
wrong. 1t is as unjust as it is dis
graceful to have so many young boys
and girls begin so early in life with
being brought into court.
The many children brought into ju-
venile court are largely brought there
through neglect and ignorance, rather
than a malicious or mischievous ma,
ture.
The highest aim of parents should
be to teach their children to distin-
guish right from wrong, to keep them
out of temptation, and to put some
worthy purpose before them for which
to strive.
While the juvenile court is an edu-
Gator of parents, yet in order to ac-
complish the most good and to save
the child from wrong, requires the
hearty cooperation of the parents of
the children of Milwaukee county.
Therefore this appeal is being made
to have the parents do their part in
preventing the children from getting
into trouble and saving the court
from being compelled later to punish
those brought before it.
