CELEBRATED HERy IF
WhIT4Afh'S J J.R.EIS
IOGOUbOI K HAMMER
DISPERSAL SALE AT SPRING HILL
BY FAMOUS BREEDER ON
OCTOBER q.
In The Auction Will Also Be Put The
Exceptionally Fine Grade Herd Of
CIoyd and M. Whitaker-All Produc.
Ing Animals.

One of the biggest sales of Jersey
cattle ever held in Maury county will
be that Of Patton Whitaker, Cloyd
Whitaker and Melburn Whitaker,
which takes place at the farm of Pat
ton Whitaker at Spring Hill, on Octo-
Der q.
This will be the dispersal sale of
the splendid herd of registered Jerseys
built up and developed by Patton
Whitaker at his Lytle Creek Stock
Farm and in its prime probably the
finest herd of producing Jerseys in the
state.
Mr.. Whitaker recently sold his Lytle
Creek Farm to Davis G. Sons and it is
his intention now to retire from the
dairy business. He feels that he has
earned rest from such strenuous Ia
bors and will in the future devote his
time and talents to the less exacting
labors of raising beef cattle. His herd
was admired far and wide and was
frequently visited by those who came
to Columbia or Maury county.
There is no better line of breeding
in the state to be found than in this
herd. In the list are forty-one heifers,
thirty-eight of which are bred to an
imported sire of Golden Maids Prince,
which is sufficient recommendation to
lovers of the Jersey without further
statement.
The grade herd of Cloyd and Mel.
burn Whitaker will also be sold and
consists of thirty head of choice ones.
Practically every COW and heifer in
the bunch is pure bred, although not
entitled to registration. Pure bred
sires have always been used in this
herd and the milking qualities of the
COWS are superior. Owing to the re-
cent operation of Mr.. Whitaker and his
impaired health he finds that he can.
not longer look after the exacting dut-
les Of a dairy and hence decided to

DEMOCRATS MEET
TO NAME TIvKET
MONDAY MORN.AG
CONVENTION WILL
ASSEMBLE PROMPTLY AT
10 O'CLOCK.
MANY MENTIONED FOR HOUSE
Believed That Humphreys Choice OF
Lewis County, Will Get Endorsement
For the Senate, But Hard to Forecast
Other Action.

After the democratic primaries on
next Saturday afternoon when dele
gates will be elected, the convention
on Monday will hold the center of at
tention for the people of the county
1t is practically certain that the con.
vention will name the next legislative
delegation from this county, although
rumors, somewhat intangible but rath
er persistent, are not lacking to the
effect that there might be bolt and a
ticket nominated in opposition to the
conventions selection on Monday
But they are not expected to material
ize.
The convention will convene prompt
ly at 10 o'clock in the Court House
and will be called to order by Chair
man W. c. Whitthorne, of the county
democratic committee. The conven'
ton will at once proceed to the work
of organization and then will come the
nomination of candidates. 1t is gen
orally believed that the candidacy Of
D. E. Humphreys, of Lewis county
will be endorsed for the senate, which
would insure his election.
The convention will be made up Of
forty-six delegates, or one for every
fifty votes or fractional majority there
of cast for Wilson four years ago. The
Ninth will have the big delegation
with twelve of the fortysix votes. the
Seventh coming next in voting
strength with six votes. Six districts
have four delegates each and two dis
tricts two votes each
Everyone appears to be in the dark
as to the probable nominees for the
house. There are probably halt
dozen avowed, receptive or prominent
" mentioned candidates for represen
tative. Just who the lightning will
strike cannot at this time be forecast
ed. The hope is general, however
that ticket will be nominated upon
which the democrats of the county can
unite and which will increase the
majority in the county for the state
ticket.

1t will be remembered that in the
affray Weatherly was wounded in the

Jordan Pogue. the other party to the

used pistols in the duel which took
place near Hampshire. Pogue was un-
injured, but Weatherly was wounded
in the foot and hand. The automobile
in which Weatherly was riding at the
time was consumed by fire which was
caused by steel-jacketed bullet strik-
ing the gasoline tank of the car. The
fight was said to have been caused
by the alleged alienation of the affec-
tions of Pogue's wife by Weatherly his
uncle.

TOWER OF CHURCH
BEING REPAIRED
UARAPET WALLS AND GABLES TO
, BE REMOVED AT GARDEN
ST. PRESBYTERIAN.

The parapet walls around the tower
OF the Garden Street Presbyterian
church are today being torn down and
the gables on the sides of the tower
are being removed. The work is be-
ing done by Watkins & Faris.
For many years the parapet walls
have been a source of great trouble,
for the pigeons have built innumera-
BILE nests at the point where the tower
and the walls join A great number
of leaks have resulted. 1t was decided
to do away with the wall and to have
the tower slope unobstructed down to
the gutter.
The appearance Of the church will
not be greatly altered by the changes.
The high spire will have, on the com
pletion Of the work, an even more
beautiful aspect.

BFST LINE OF BNEtDING KNOWN UNPAID Pull LSl LARGE
In Order To Qualify Voters Must Have
Paid Their Taxes for Last Year on
Or Before October 6-Many Unres-
stered Voters.

Registration books of Maury county
will be open for the supplemental reg
istration OF voters on Saturday, Octo-
ber IA, Monday, October l6 and Tues
Gay, October II, between the hours of
s O'Clock a, N. and o'clock D. IN.
Under the law the books must close
twenty days before the election. This
year the election comes on Tuesday,
November 7, so that the books will
close just three days before the cleo
ton.
All voters who did not register at
the last general registration or who
have moved their places of residence
since chat time will have to register
in the coming supplemental registra-
ton. There is a large unregistered
vote in the county due to the small
registration before the August election,
except in the Mt. Pleasant, Columbia
and one or two other districts Again
in Columbia a large number, of voters
have or will on October /, change their
places of residence. These must all
register again.
Another factor that is going to fig
ure in the election this fall is the poll
tax act of 1915. The coming election
will be the first general state election
under this law Heretofore a large
number of poll taxes have been paid
on the day Of election. This cannot
be done this time. But voters to be
eligible must have paid their poll tax
es not less than thirty days before
the election. To be entirely safe their
receipts should not be dated later than
October 6.
The last of any exciting contests in
August, except in the Mt. Pleasant
district, makes the number who did
not pay last years poll taxes unusually
large. At the August election only
about 5000 had paid their poll taxes
for last year. This number has been
only slightly increased since that time.

COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS
AN ADDED FEATURE FOR
OCTOBER ...
FIVE VOTES fOR EACH .XRIBlI
Every Person Contributing Dollar For
Show Will HaVeone Vote-Hon. X.
0. Mcclellan May Place Crown on
Head Of Queen-Court to be Chosen.

Prpparations for the most successful
corn show ever held in the state, to
take place in Columbia on October 9,
were given a long push forward when
the committee on arrangements an
nounced Monday afternoon that a girl
living in the county would be crowned
queen of the festival. The coronation
will follow the election of the fortu-
nate young lady by the exhibitors at
the show and the contributors to it.
Each exhibitor will have FIVE votes
for each exhibition of corn that he
makes; and each person who contrib
utes money toward the furtherance of
the show will be given one vote for
each dollar that he donates. Blank
votes will be issued to those entitled
to receive them; and, after they are
filed out, they will be deposited in a
ballot box. The choice will then be
made known and the young lady
crowned before the admiring throng
Although the details incidental to
the coronation have not yet been
worked out, the cermony will take
place on the west steps of the County
Court House. John w. Fry, chairman
of the committee, has written to Hon,
Kenneth D. McKellar, democratic NOM
inee for senator asking that he come
to Columbia on October 8, and place
the crown on the head of the young
lady, naming her Queen of the Corn" J"
The Queen-elect will be allowed to
choose her own court, and in the midst
of the retainers she will assume the
regal seat
No feature of the show has received
so much attention as the projected
coronation. The committee expects
to largely increase the crowd in atten-
dance at the show by giving those
coming a feature, the like of which
they have never before seen. The
committee is expecting to largely in
crease the number of exhibits by al
lowing each exhibitor five votes for
each exhibit that he makes.
