INTEREST IN WILSON.

One of the remarkable features of
the situation in Maury county is the
interest shown in Wilson after the
election. During the campaign apathy
was greater than ever before known
In a presidential year and it was with
the greatest difficulty that anyone
could let an audience no matter what
his reputation as a speaker might be.
The same trouble was experienced in
securing campaign funds. The Herald
appealed for month for contributions
to the Wilson fund, but not more than
twenty citizens of the county con.
tributeJ
The point of this statement is that
1t would be much better for the sue
cess of ones candidate if more of the
intereot and enthusiasm shown in the
result were contributed before and not
after the polls were closed. Possibly
larger contributions to the Wilson
fund would have enabled the cam
paign committee to have had better
organizations in the doubtful states
and made more certain the reelection

PIE to Kill 1t.

An old board of supervisors OF For
rest county, four or five years ago
started something that the present
board can't finish. 1t tried it on yes
terday and failed.
Five years ago, a well-meaning set
of officials decided that wandering ca
mines and others should be taxed.
There were hundreds of worthless
dogs about the country, not worth
their salt, the members figured. 1--WE
will place a tax on all dogs" the board
reasoned, and 'only those worth while
will remain. Unless a dog is worth 81
or So, the owner will not pay the tax. "
So the board held spirited session
and voted to place tax of 81 per an
mum on male dogs, and 81 on the fe-
males The first year of its existence,
the law enriched the treasury of the
county 5000. Every year thereafter,
between 500 and $500 was collected
from such taxes, all of which went to
the fund for the improvement of the
school houses. The board had right
to enact such a regulation, having
been empowered by the state legisla-
ture.
On yesterday, the new board of SUI
peryiSOrs, which assumed office the
first of the year, took up the
question of repeating this law.
There was much debate and Bob Hen
dirk, president of the board, and G. ".
Boone fought the suggestion. The
other three members favored it, how
ever. and so it was voted, 3 to >, to re-
peal the regulation.
A wave of joy spread throughout
dogdom, and lasted for "a hours But
this iubilation was short lived.
Discovery was made yesterday that
the board has not the authority 10 re-
peal the law While it is empowered
to pass dog tax law, it is up to the
people to repeal it. Consequently, lie
tax will remain on all CANNES until
the people, at an election, vote it
down.

PRESIDENT LEAVES ON
A WEEKEND SEA TRIP
WILL CONSIDER A SELECTION OF
GARRISON SUCCESSOR WHILE
AWAY ON MAYFLOWER.
LJO-T - EN-.

Washington. Feb. II. - President
Wilson left Washington last night
with Mrs. Wilson for weekend
cruise down the Potomac river and
Chesapeake bay on the naval yacht
Mayflower, during which he will con-
slider the selection of a successor to
LindIey NJ. Garrison as secretary Of
war. He expects to return late Sun
day night or early Monday morning.
1t was said by the Presidents ad-
visers that he wanted to reach a de-
cision as quickly as possible, and that
he probably would be ready to suld
the nomination TO the senate next
week. An assistant secretary to sue
ceed Henry Breckenridge in all likeli-
hood will not be named until the new
secretary is consulted.
The President will not appoint a
Southern man to succeed Mr.. Garri-
son. it was said in well informed cir
cles. The President has already made
up his mind to appoint a Democrat.
Reports that there might be other
designations were met with general
denials.
The President spent several hours
before leaving going over the qualifl-
cations of various men suggested. \
cabinet meeting was held, but Mr..
Wilson did not seek advice on the
subject there. Last night he attended
dinner given in his honor by Post
master General Burleson, and irnmedi-
ately afterwards boarded the May
flower
Former Assistant Secretary Breck-
enridge was at the war department
for short time, and later left with
his wife for an indefinite stay at
Jamestown Island. Va.
Here is what some of the Mississip-
pi senator's and representatives think
of the Garrison resignation:
Senator WILLIAMSBURG men think
because they are entrusted with cabi-
net portfolios they may dictate to Con-
gress. The President was right in re-
fusing to dictate to Congress on a
matter of legislative detail. Mr.. Gar
rison is bright man. 1t is pity that
, he resigned.
