MAKING An ANNUAL
INSPECTION ROADS
FOR APPORT|ONMEAT
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS OF
COUNTY SPENDING TIME
IN COUNTRY,
MILEAGE HAS Been INCREASED
Will Have To Make Longer Division
OF The Amounts CoIIected-Pro
Rata Made for the Year That viii
End Next July.

Highway commissioners of Maury
are visiting and inspecting all of the
special highways of the county. This
is the annual inspection and is done
for the purpose of enabling the COM
missioners to pro rata the special high
way funds. The commissioners are
required under the law before making
the apportionment Of the funds to the
several roads for the coming year, to
go over the roads and take into con-
sideration the travel, the condition Of
the road and other features. The law
does not allow fiat allowance purely
on mileage basis because manifestly
some roads require greater sum per
mile than is the case with other roads.
The commissioners will spend sew
eral days making these inspections
before the pro rata of the funds is
made. The special highway fund Of
the county approximately $4,000, not
a very large sum when all Of the roads
are taken into consideration, especial
ly in view of the fact that the mileage
of the special highways has been in
creased by ten miles since the last
was made in 1915.

DEATHS FROM
flVER FLOODS
WORK OF RESTORING DAMAGED
TRACKS is PROGRESSING IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July 20-Addi.
tional bodies found in widely separated
districts of North Carolina Wednesday
brought the number of deaths from the
recent floods up to forty-eight, with six
persons missing and believed to be
dead.
Seven of the flood victims were
drowned at ROnda, near Wilkesboro,
I'm the overflow of the Yadkin river.
They were in two houses cast ashore
at Ronda after having been washed
fifteen miles from the point where
they originally stood.
The other deaths occurred in the
Bat Cave and Chimney Rock section,
southeast Of Asheville, where the
Rock Broad river ragged through a mar
row valley Sunday, carrying every
thing before it, and near Belmont on
the Catawba rievr.
News is coming in slowly from the
Yadkin river valley, as we'll as from
other parts of western North Carolina
known to have suffered from the high
waters, and it is feared the number Of
deaths will be materially increased
when full reports can be had.

HOMES OF THE FUTURE.
Central Kitchen, With Committee To
Buy Food and Rules Servants.

w. l.. George, in Harper's Magazine:
conceive the future homes of the peo-
pie as separate communities, say
blocks Of 100 fats or perhaps more
standing in a common garden which
will be kept up by the estate.
Each fiat will probably have one
room for each inhabitant so as to Sc
cure the privacy which is very neces-
sary even to those who no longer be-
lieve IN the home idea. 1t will also
have common room where privacy
can be dispensed with. It's furniture
will be partly personal, but not very,
for movement which is developing in
America will extend, as we, too, in.
England may be provided, as are to-
day the more fortunate Americans with
an abundance of cupboards and dress
ers ready fixed to the walls. There
will be no coal, but only electricity and
gas, run from the central plant There
will be no kitchens, but one central
kitchen, and a central dining room,
run-and this is very Importantly
committee of tenants.
That committee will appoint and
control cooks and all servants; it will
buy all provisions, and it will buy
them cheaply, for it will purchase by
the hundredweight 1t will control the
central laundry, and a paid laundry
maid will check the lists-there will
no longer be, as once upon a time on
Saturday evenings, a hundred persons
checking hundred lists. 1t is even
quite possible that the central organi-
zaiton may darn socks.
The servants will no longer be
slaves, personally attached to a few
persons, their chattel. They will be
dayworkers, laboring eight hours, with
out any master save their duty. The
whole system Of the householder will
be grouped for the purpose Of buying
and distributing everything that is
,seded ct any hour.

TROUBLE WITH
MEXICO OVER
OFFICIALS TO GIVE PLAN OF SET.
ELEMENT SOON-MEETiNG
OF CONFEREES.

WASHINGTON, July 20-Prelimi-
nary negotiations between Acting Sec
rotary Polk and Eliseo Arredondo,
Mexican ambassador designate, for
peaceful settlement of border Difficult,
ties progressed so well Wednesday
that formal announcement very
soon" as to the course to be followed
was officially predicted.
The conferees met twice Wednes-
day. Later Mr.. Arredondo telegraphed
a report to his government and Mr..
Polk prepared similar report for
Secretary Lansing, now on his vaca-
ton, and probably will talk the situa-
ton over with President Wilson today
Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador des
ignate to Mexico, was present at both
conferences. 1t is understood the dis
cussions dealt particularly with the
powers to be conferred upon a joint
commission should that plan of settle
ment be followed So far no definite
agreement on the course to be pur-
sued has been reached, but Wednes-
days developments indicated that only
final word from General Carranza and
President Wilson was lacking. 1t was
state officially that the American com
missions had not been selected. Off
cials said also that Mr.. Fletcher would
not head the American membership,
as had been reported, because it might
impair his diplomatic usefulness.

TO RESUME WAR
OF SUBMARINES
HERR ZIMMERMAN PREDICTS U.
BOAT ACTIVITY AT AN
EARLY DATE.

BERLIN, July Is (via London, July
19.-The active campaign for resump-
ton of submarine warfare in it's pre-
yious for mhas ISSUED new Importance,
from an article Tuesday by Eugen Zim-
norman, general director OF the Lokal
Anzeiger, whose views usually reflect
opinions in government circles.
Herr Zimmerman contemplates the
possibility that Great Britain will CON-
pei saller neutral states to adopt an
unfriendly, perhaps hostile attitude
towards the central powers, or even to
close their frontiers completely against
them. He then cites in heavy type his
own comment ON Germany's accep-
lance of the American demands in re-
gard to subarine warfare, indicating
that circumstances might arise later
which would make it impossible to
adhere to the restrictions on the &C
tivity of these craft.
Hesr Zimmerman says that III
Great Britain succeeds in making neu-
trails passively and actively hostile to
us, ane important reason for Ger.
mans decision at that time would
cease to exist. 1t makes no difference
whether neutrals yield to British or.
ders through sympathy or through
fear"

Only ONE SET CLERKS
Al AUGUST ELECTION
FOR MAURY COUNTY
DECISION REACHED BY THE COM
MlssIoNERs OF ELECTION
THIS MORNING.
ALL OFFICERS ARE APPOINTED
Every Effort Made To Select Only
Good and Honest Men Who viii See
That the Laws Of the State Are
Strictly Enforced.

There will be just one set OF cleo
aion officers, one set from receiver to
and including clerks, to hold the cleo
fion in Maury county on Thursday,
August 8. This was decided upon at
q meeting of the board this morning
held at the office of Secretary r. s.
Hopkins. All of the members, Chair
man Allen and Mr.. Burns, we're
present.
The question was discussed at some
length, but the commissioners could
see no reason for two sets Of officers
and anxious to save the county ex-
pense and confusion in the election 1t
was decided that one lot of election
officers was sufficient. However,
there will be two sets of ballots.
Having disposed of this matter the
commissioners proceeded at once to
the selection Of the officers Of the cleo
ton. This is no small task. The
appointment of three judges, two
clerks, one receiver, one marshal, one
assistant registrar at each of the twen-
ty-nine voting places of Maury county
is a task of considerable magnitude.
Every effort was made by the commits
sioners to appoint good men who will
serve.
Discussing the election, Chairman
Allen said: 1--WE have done our best
to name good, honest, fair-minded men
who will serve. Some of them, Of
course, will not and we will be unfairly
criticised if the election laws are vio-
lated. But we cannot make any citi.
zen serve. If they won't do their duty
then we are assuredly not to blame
We are exceedingly anxious for fair
and honest election, one held in strict
accordance with the laws. We have
tried to appoint officials who will not
permit the marking of ballots, prac-
tice said to be much in vogue at some
voting places, but which is plain
violation of the law, except in case Of
physical disabilities"

WHEN TWILIGHT
IS APPROACHING
AND THE SABLE CURTAINS OF
NIGHT ARE DRAWN DOWN AND
PINNED WITH A STAR.

When the landscape has turned tc
gray and dark green, and the tints OF
the sunset have darkened, and the
sable curtains of night are drawn and
pinned with star, and the road ahead
loses itself in shadows, and you swing
your motor car around a sharp turn
and there, a silver splotch, lies the
lake and its hosiery where you plan
to spend the night, that is the end OF
a perfect motoring day-the restful
end which rounds the full happiness
of your vacation.
There is no vacation to compare
with the outing spent on the road with
your automobile Such is the sermon
of the great vacation motoring move
ment, National Touring Week, which
on August 6 will send forth legion
of motorists from the cities and ham-
lets of the nation. From the Atlantic
to the Pacific shore they willset forth,
each to discover and enjoy the scenic
beauty of the cyclorama bounded by
his own horizon.
See America first by seeing your
own state first" is the sentiment being
spread broadcast by those who advo-
cate National Touring Week One
does not need to journey a thousand
miles from home to begin a tour Of
scenic beauty, undreamed by the aver
age citizen of state. There is not a
commonwealth in our nation that does
not offer its citizens a vacation motor
ing tour rich with scenic beauty and
novelty.

ACREAGE OF WHEAT WILL BE
CONSIDERABLY REDUCED
IN COUNTY.
RECENT FAILURE IS The CAUSE
Hessian Fly Menace Will Lead TlIlers
OF The Soil to Winter Pasture Crop,
Said Prof. o. L. Farris, the County
Agent.

Instead of sowing wheat on their
stubble land a large number OF the
best farmers in Maury county are go
ing to SOW crimson clover this year, "
said County Agent o. L. Farris, this
morning. Scores of farmers have told
me within the past month that they
did not expect to sow any more wheat
this fall; the recent failure, coupled
with the loss in the fields; the wide
prevalence in the county Of the Hes
sian fly pest and the splendid results
achieved by those who have had GRIM
son clover will do much to discourage
wheat sowing.
There will be hundreds Of bushels
of crimson clover seed sold in the
county this fall Farmers in Franklin
county, who had crimson clover crops
las winter, have made fine yields Of
seed which they are selling at big
prices. But the best part of the GRIM
son clover crop is not the seed, but
the increased fertility resulting to the
soil and the fine winter pasturage that
is afforded. Crimson clover and sheep
make a fine combination.
look for very substantial reduc-
ton in the wheat acreage of the county
this fall Just what the per centage
will be l cannot, of course, say, but 1t
