ADDRESS SUP7S,
Continued from page ~

appropriation of $4,000 to run this
quarter. Think of it! And the
speaker voted for it too, just because
he thought so much of the people out
this way.
Proceeding with time he spoke at
length of the great struggle put up
by u progressive representatives
Attorney M. L. Mcbride, Attorney H.
j. Blanchard, F. W. Turner, C. C.
Turner, Frank Wanner and others for
the normal school at Dickinson. How
they pushed the propect through the
legislature and undermined all OBJ
stacles until now ali that is neces-
sary for the accomplishment of their
purpose is to get the votes of the
people this coming November.
This recalled to him the story of
the Irishman, who, upon coming into
a place motel a couple of men engaged
in a fight. His curiosity prompted
him to ask Els this a private fight or
can anyone get into it Governor
Hanna said this normal school propo-
sition was not a private fight but was
for every citizen regardless Of nation
ality.
Governor Hanna was strongly in
favor Of setting aside at the next
legislature, state lands that have not
already been taken up. The land ap-
preparations for our state institutions
and public schools is very conserva-
tive. He cited an example of Arizona
and New Mexico, where four sections
of land are set apart for the mainten-
ance of the public schools, while in
North Dakota only two sections are
set aside in each township for this
purpose. In this connection Gov.
Hanna also spoke of the rural credit
system and of the great benefit that
our state school land loans are to
the farmers. It's success is shown
by the rapid increase of loans made
since 1913, the number growing from
800 to 2610. Stark county has 80 of
this number, about the same number
as Cass county.
Knowing the interest of the people
in his recent trip across the ocean
with the Ford peace party, he gave a
short description of his journey be-
fore closing his talk. He stated that
the papers distorted Mr.. Ford's state
ments altogether. He never said he

mas time, but that he would inaugu-
rate a movement toward this end that
would reach the boys in the trenches
by that time.
The first adventure Of the trip oc-
Cured about 300 miles west of Scot
land, where they were stopped at
night by a converted British cruiser,
which was at first seen by a single
light way out. After examining the
Ford ship and finding that it was
not a hostile enemy, the search light
of the cruiser was directed up into
the sky and was answered by a dozen
or fifteen lights all around them.
The voyagers then knew they were
surrounded by a British fleet.
They landed on the coast of the
Orkney Islands through a special en-
trance as practically all bays and
harbors are netted with mines. Some
of them, however, can be thrown open
at will to let steamers go through.
Every passenger was searched and
each had to have his passport. Gov.
Hanna had his passport with him for
his audience to see and related some

Monday evening Skovgaard, the
Danish violinist and the New York
Metropolitan company, appeared at
the opera house and rendered a very
enjoyable program. The audience,

hearty applause. The entire program
was very good. This great violinist

Supreme Court sustained the consti-

point upon which the constitutionality
of the act was attacked was overruled
by the court.

was sustained. In the case of Howse

Mayor Crump's tenure of office under

which he had been elected, is not af-

The court held in substance that

Low DEATH RATE
IN MAURY COUNTY
ONLY A FRACTION OVER TWELVE
PER THOUSAND OF
PEOPLE,

According to the report of the state
bureau of vital statistics there were
in Maury county last year S51 births
and SIG deaths. The death rate of the
county was 1871 per one thousand of
population. The average for the
urban counties of the state was 1876.
Since Columbia contains city and
large town, where the death rate al
ways exceeds that of the country,
the fact that the average for the whole
county is so close to that of the
whole urban population of the state
is eloquent testimony to the healthful-
ness of the county. According to these
figures there was an increase of over
800 in population during the year from
births alone.

MORE THAN MAJORITY
MEMBERS Of COUNTY
CUORT FOR SCHOOL
ABSOLUTELY ASSURED THAT Ap.
PRoPRIATloN OF $4,000
WILL BE MADE.
SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED
With Such An Offer II 10 Believed
That the Board of Trustees Will
Not Refuse to Aeeede to the Claims
of the DimpIe.

More than a majority of the mem.
bers OF the County Court have formal.
ly agreed that they will at the next
term of the court recommend an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to purchase
lands in the county for the location
OF the Girls Vocational school
In the opinion of Chairman Fry
this practically insures the location
of the school in Maury county, for he
believes that $4,000 worth. of land in
Maury county will meet every demand
OF the board of trustees, particularly
IN view OF the natural advantages for
a location that will be presented by
Maury county.
Justice l. H. McKibbon, of the Fifth
district, Is the only member of the
court who declined to sign the recon-
mendation. He did not, however. ex-
press any opposition to the location
OF the school in the county, but mere
ly took the matter under advisement.
The following named members of
the court have agreed to the $4,000
recommendation: Allen Holt. Hugh
Lee Webster, Senator ]. w. c..
Church, W. e. Alexander, R. H. Guest
r. G. Mullins, Charles s. Jackson, C.
c. Ross, F. M. Ricketts,, Thos. Y. Eng.
lish, Jno. N. Hunter, c. c. Denton
and John B. Brooks.
In addition to the above, who have
expressly agreed upon the proposition,
there are number of others whom IL
is believed will vote for the appro-
priation when the issue comes before
the County Court at the next term.
In addition to this money offer on
the part of the court, a number of
patriotic individuals of the county
have agreed to give COWS, poultry,
etc., for the stocking of the farm.
