last week in October
Mr.. Helm was called over the phone
Monday by the route man of the big

part of this week to make contracts.
Mr.. fowler said that he had been In

the L. & N. R. R. Co., had also re-

Mr. fowler stated to a Herald re-
porter this morning that he was sure
that the circus was coming, as the
route man had told Mr. Helm over the
phone that they were changing the
routing of the circus and would not
go into Mississippi this year owing to
crop conditions. AS everything looked

As announced in The Herald's bulle-
tin on Monday, the republicans OF
Maury county will not have a leglsla-

able discussion of the question the
convention voted twenty-five to ten
against having a ticket and lmmedl-

The committee on resolutions sub

I'VE, the republicans of Maury coun'

William Barker former secretary OF
! the state progressive committee then
moved that the convention proceed to
he nomination of candidates for the
legislature. The motion was seconded
by DR.. Sheddan. Then the fireworks
started. John B. Brooks moved to
table
DR.. Sheddan made strong appeal
| for a ticket. He said that there could
be no effective party organization
without naming a full ticket.
Chairman Hopkins called Thomas
| H. Taylor to the chair and then made
strong, convincing and logical speech
against ticket. 1t was the fine pre-
sentation of the argument against a
ticket of Mr.. Hopkins that turned the
tide. He said that the republicans
had everything to lose and nothing to
gain by putting out a ticket. He said
that as matters now stood the vote in
the county would be small, that this
meant that every republican lost
would lose three democrats. To pro
woke local contest would arouse the
voters and increase Rye's majority.
Mr.. Barker followed. He said that
to fail to name candidates would be a
lay down and constructed as a sell out
to a faction of the democrats of the
county. This provoked heated re-
ply from Mr.. Hopkins, who declared
emphatically that assuredly no man
could charge him with selling out or
serving any faction of the democratic
marty. He said that neither Jonas Amis
nor Judge Mcknight had a collar on
him. that he had worked In the past SIX
wars with some democrats: that he
would find 1t difficult, probably impos

sible to work with the disaffected
democrats now who it was said want
ed a republican ticket. They might
work with him to elect one but he was
sure he could not work with them.
The vote was then taken with the
shove result
The convention then adjourned.

The dlrigible is quite able to navi-

The advantage of the kite over the

That the great value of Derwent
Woods work is recognized in the high
est military quarters is demonstrated
by the recognition which it has re-
ceived. AS soon as it was brought to
the attention of Sir Alfred Keogh, the
director general of medical stores. he
not only relieved Col. Bruce Porter's
benevolent fund of all such charges,
but. with the lima gination and SYM
pathy of great organizer, he gave or
ders that in future all cases of facial
damage should be sent to a London
hospital. Meanwhile the plan is that
Wood shall travel about and visit any
military hospitals where his advice
may be needed. and it is partly with
the idea of enabling him to mix with
officers on equal military ground that,
already promoted to be a sergeant. he
is now full lieutenant in the regular
army.
With an aquiline, hawklike counte-
nance and shrewdly appraisng eyes,
Wood reminds one irresistibly of Sher-
lock Holmes as originally depicted by
Sidney Paget. Sargent, the American
who is recognized the worlds great
est portrait painter. is among the
sculptors many personal friends among
the great ones of the art world. and
paid the sincerest compliment in his
power to Wood in commissioning him
to make a bronze bust of his other
friend the late Henry James. which
he keenly desired to possess. The re-
suit was so fine that the trustees of
the Chantry bequest. when they saw 1t.
immedia tely coveted it for the Tate
Ga llery and urged the claims of the
nation so eloquently that Sargent
finally yielded his prior one. Perhaps
it may be added that to have work of
art purcha sed for the Chantry bequest
is about the highest honor that can be
paid to an artist in England
