AN UNUSUAL RECORD.

To have been born, lived ninety
years and died on the same tract of
land entered from the state by ones
ancestors, 10 not common occurrence
In this section. Americans do not live
at the old homestead as they do In
the older civilizations. 1t is nothing
nc all unusual in England or France
for generation after generation to live
on the same place. Tenants there
will live generation after generation
on the same lease hold They have
q greater love of the OLD home than
we have in this country. Our people
here are prone to move about, big
factor too In our marvellous progress.
IL Is better for the progress and ad-
vancement OF this country that our
sons do not all remain at the old
homestead for II they did no doubt
many rose would blush unseen"
In other words much talent, that needs
only change Of environment and
opportunity for its development, would
be lost to the world.
Nevertheless, the love of the old
home, which exists in greater or less
degree in the heart of nearly every
one, is beautiful sentiment. The
longer one stays under the parental
roof. the place where ones ancestors
had their abode, the stronger this love
becomes. What memories every tree,
every creek. every bend in the road,
every changing season. must have
brought to this old man. And every
thing about the place evoked a senti-
.ment all its own. Ninety years ago
and Maury county was not much more
than wilderness. What transition

MccARN'S ATTITUDE.

The esteemed Pulaski Record make:
all manner of fun of JEFF McCarn'E
statement that he could not do his
duty and be happy in Hawaii. That
paper then proceeds to arraign him
for his efforts to stop prize fighting,
his alleged interference with the hab-
its and customs Of the people Of the
islands" Now it was against the law
to permit prize fights in Hawaii. Nc
earn is one Of those old-fashioned
gentlemen who believe that when one
takes an oath to perform a certain
duty he should exhaust all Of the re-
sources and power at his command to
do that thing. In other words, Mr..
Mccain belongs to the class OF Off
Gals who have regard for the sanctity
Of an oath. Hence he did his best to
enforce the law.
Down in Memphis it is one OF the
customs of the people to sell liquor,
to run gambling dens and partnership
between the politicians and the low
dives has existed so long that it has
come to be a custom. But the Record
will hardly ridicule Gov. Rye because
he is trying his best to break up and
end these customs. He is doing it
too, for the same reason that actuated
Gov. Rye, because he believes in the
sanctity of his oath of Office.

bly, AT HOME.

| In season and out The Herald nights
for Columbia. 1t pleads the cause OF
Columbia merchants; it breaches and
more than that it practices
trade at home" Whatever II
buys or those who labor on
1T buy, is purchased in Columbia,
from Columbia merchants. II they
do not have what is wanted they are
given the opportunity to order it. This
paper has steadfastly refused and will
continue to refuse advertising from
out of the city that comes in direct
conflict with its local advertisers. It
Is ever and always loyal to Columbia
and Maury county. 1t has in past
years refused hundreds of dollars
worth of advertising because of its
loyalty to the home merchants.
Much as The Herald believes in
trading at home" and loyalty to its
own people it believes also just as
firmly in policy of reciprocity. In
other words it does think that those
for whom it labors and pleads SHOULD.
adopt its trade at home" policy.
There are three printing Offices in &C.
lumbia, all of them well equipped and
capable of turning out coed work "a
short notice.
And yet Notwithstanding this fast,
The Herald knows that there are msr-
chants in Columbia, the direct bene-
fsciaries OF its policy of advocating
buy at home" who have stationery
printed away from here. They have
it made by printing houses who will
never spend one dollar with a Column
bia merchant, never deposit one dime
in Columbia bank to aid in financing
the crops and business of Maury coun-
ty, or pay one penny in taxes to sup.
port our roads or schols. This is not
encouraging; it is not showing the
proper spirit of reciprocity. OF course

ness it will insist upon keeping the
money at home. 1t knows that 1t will
get some indirect benefit from every
dollar that is kept in Maury county.
Sometimes merchants make the ar.
gument that they can obtain cheaper
prices away from home; that may in
cases be true, but it is the insistence
OF this journal that in the end the
lower price is only apparent. It pays
to give little more, il necessary, and
patronize the home institution, because
the local patronage will be reciprocal
ed and more than the difference, II
any, in price will be returned, while
where the money is sent away from
homo no benefit whatever will ever be
derived by the local emrchant. Every
one at the beginning Of this good year
should solemnly resolve to patronize
home institutions exclusively. If you
want something from Columbia mer-
chant and he does not have It; go to
another Columbia merchant and get
1t. II you need printing and do not
like The Herald, go to some other
Columbia house; do not send the mon
ey away from home.

THE PROPER ATTITUDE.

This editorial from the Nashville
Banner is so unusual and so com
mendable that it deserves more thar
passing notice from the press of Ten
nessse:
There are obvious reasons why the
proposed reformatory for delinquent
| girls might be fixed In a safer atmos
phere than that of the precincts Of
q large city, and the benefit Nashville
might derive from the location Of such
an institution in its environs is not
, necessarily great
"The Banner does not wish to be
understood as advocating the location
Of the institution elsewhere, but 1t
sees no reason for undue perturbation
because Of its prospective loss to
Nashville, or why such q possibility
should get on the nerves" Of excit.

eff an eligible site for the reform.
story can be procured In the vicinity
of Nashville there would be no ade-
quate occasion for local protest; but
If 1t be determined to place It In a
more remote and secluded region the
judgment that impelled such a de-
cision could not well be questioned.
"The reformatory should be located
where it will do the most good, and
it is the welfare Of the girls who will
constitute its inmates that is most to
be considered"
This is altogether the proper atti-
tude. The Girls Reformatory should
not be located with a view to the
financial or other benefits that it may
bring to any community. The ques-
ton Of local pride should not be con-
sidered. Just one question should be
discussed when this institution is To-
Gated and that is: What will be best
for the girls who are to receive its
benefits? So far as The Herald 10
concerned, it does not believe that an
institution of this character should be
located in or near any city or large
town. 1t would be better, far better
to remove it from the centers of pop
ulation; to locate right out in the
country. There are too many tempta-
lions, too many avenues through
which again to lure the girls to de-
strlction in and about the cities and
larger towns.
what the Banner says about the
location Of this institution applies to
the location of other public institu.

government; talk Indignantly between

tives or senator's either state or ma /

themselves are to blame for the low
standards of public service. They
are unwilling to surrender local
claims for the general good. But

GRAZING.

According to an affidavit published
In the Memphis Commercial Appeal
which is doing valiant service for TIT
cause OF cleaner government and civic
righteousness in Shelby county.
FARMER owned a gravel bed in thai
county. Now gravel is rather scarce
sa West Tennessee; stone is not tc
Ae had SO that most of the roads
aewn there are built of gravel and II
makes good roads. The owner OF the
gravel pit could only sell to the county
through the influence Of member oil
me county court. They pooled inter
esfs with the result that the owner re-
neiYed $3.50 per load for his gravel for
which the county paid IS per load.
The inference is that the $3.50 diner
Nnce between the amount paid to the
owner and the cost to the county was
ahe consideration for the potential in
auence of the squire who engineered
me deal"
That is called grating. Since there
we're hundreds and probably thousands
az loads Of the gravel sold under these
aerms it amounts almost to high
&nance." If a merchant sent one OF
MS clerks or his porter to make pur-
chase and gave him SIS bill with
which to make it, and the hiring &C
anired the article desired for half that
snm, but kept the change, reporting
Q fictitious price, that would be called
NET. 1t is certain that the poor
clerk or porter would be summarily
sired" from service and probably in
Aicted, convicted and sent to the coun''
~ work house. The grating politi-
clan who loots the treasury OF his
county or state or nation is usually
1egarded as smooth artist" and the
more he accumulates through these
methods the stronger his hold gen.
orally upon the public.
1t is all largely the fault of the
people. Public opinion is in a meas
nre responsible for this perverted
view. Too many people regard the
county or the state or the nation as
the legitimate object OF graft. 1t is
fhe same way with the great corpora
4ions. A Juror once said to the writer
mat he was upon jury trying case
Between a poor litigant and a great
public service corporation. The liti-
giant sued for damages. He failed to
make out any sort OF case or to
prove any kind Of liability upon the
part Of the corporation. The jurors
all readily agreed upon this point.
Two or three OF them, however, in
sisted upon some damages, because
they frankly said: "The poor devil
needs the money, the railroad corpor-
rstion will never miss is" Now those
were good men and true. They were
personally honest. Not one OF them
would have taken, knowingly dollar
that did not belong to them and ap-
propriated It to their own use. But
they had perverted view. They
were not mentally honest; they could
not think honestly.
Public opinion 10 not yet sufficiently
educated upon this question Of graft.
NO public official should ever be |
pecuniarily or directly interested IN |
the expediture Of public funds.
