troopers was leeching away by the
elements.
But Duryea had vision. He saw
those gullies filled, those SCARED clay
hills and impoverished valleys COW
cred with nutritious grasses, restored
to fertility and supporting many head
of cattle. He bought $4,000 acres.
The bushes were cut away; it was
fenced and cleaned up and sown to
Lespedeza, the famed Japanese clover
that in West Tennessee and other sec
lions of the South grows If only the
chance is afforded. He brought into
being the Lespedeza Stock Farm, the
home today of the finest specimens of
the Shorthorn breed of cattle proba-
bly, in all the South. It has national
reputation. Its bulls and COWS have
taken blue ribbons at countless fairs;
it is one of the best known Shorthorn
breeding places In the whole land.
What a magnificent, what a splen-
did Transformation wrought by the
brains and money of this man, be-
cause he had a vision. He pointed
the way to the surest wealth that the
agricultural interests of this country
can ever know, that of live stock
farming. His example has doubtless
been an inspiration to many others
and therein his work will live long
after his ashes are dust.
This founder of the great Lespe-
deza stock farm, of Hickory Valley,
was not an ordinary man. He was
not lover simply of cattle, but di.
vided his affections with the horses.
He owned one of the greatest Perch
eron breeding Establishments in the
world-famed Perche in France and had
bred some of the greatest of that now
generally acknowledged to be greatest
of all the draft breeds. But he did
not stop there. He loved the thor
oughbred horse and had an establish
men in England. His horse won the
classic English Derby in 1914, the
greatest of all English race course
prizes. He left his impress as a
builder. The South, especially Ten
nessee, owes him a debt.

LEGISLATIVE TRADING.

When our constitution makers wrote
that clause into the organic law which
1orbids the legislature enacting bill
that contains more than one subject,
they thought they were giving legisla-
tive log rolling body blow. They
remembered the evils Of the system
as practiced under the constitution of
1885 when all sorts of matters were
aegislated upon in the same act, but
they did not know the modern legis-
slator. 1t may have made log rolling"
n bit more troublesome, but it did not
stop the practice, on the contrary it
sis the favorite method for getting bills
Through you tickle me- and Il will
tickle you" is the universal slogan of
Legislative assemblies. There are
scores and scores Of laws that could
never be enacted but for the trading
that Is done among the members. A
f5ill that upon its merits cannot com.
lmand the necessary votes goes
Through because several other bills in
the same category need votes. Issues
are pooled with the result that all get
the majority that Is essential
1t will not be surprising to Tonnes
scans to hear the charge openly made
in the legislature of Kentucky that
log rolling and trading was INDUCED
In by members to secure the passage
OF an act to create new county. It
IL said that democrats advocating the
/. measure agreed to refuse to unseat a
republican member II the republican
yote were solidly delivered for the
Bill The republican could not be or
would not be delivered, the bill failed,
the deal fell through and the repub-
Hcan was unseated by partisan vote
Such things have been all too COM
mon In the Tennessee legislature.
Deals and trades and swapping have
been the bane of our legislation. The
citizen who thinks that every measure,
that finally becames law, is consid.
esred alone upon its merits, and passed
simply because 1t is entitled to con-
ssideration from the standpoint of the
public interest, is very unsophisti-
Gated individual indeed.

A BENEFAcToR,

Little notice has been taken of the
death recently Of II. B. Duryea at his
home at Saranao Lake, N. Y. Had he
been politician, noted boss or a
baseball magnate there would have
been columns written about him, and
yet he did more for Tennessee and
for the South than a whole genera
ton Of machine politicians ever did
Some years ago this man saw the
great possibilities OF the South for
stock raising. He went to West Ten
nessee, where there are thousands Of
acres Of land that has been literally
"cottoned to death" Land that was
cropped in cotton by negro tenants
until it refused to produce any longer.
The land was practically valueless. It
was covered with gullies and what
fertility had been left by the cotton

walking down the three or four steps
from the main dining room to the

fell. 1t was at first feared that he
was more seriously hurt than an
examination proved to be the case.

WARM CONTEMPLATION GIVEN
Has Used His Best Efforts For En-.

Executive Official in State.

In a letter that is couched in the
strongest words of approval. Represen-
tatie William H. Long writes to Sher-
if Griffin pledging him his hearty
support in his race for reelection.
The letter declares that the sheriff
has been true to his oath of office
and used all of his powers for the
enforcement of all the laws. This is
a high compliment, as Mr.. Long has
been and is one of the leaders of the
temperance and law enforcement
cause in the county and was twice
elected to the legislature upon that
platform The letter follows:
House of Representatives, State OF
Tennessee, Nashville, Feb. 3, 1916.
Mr.. Walter Griffin, Columbia, Tenn.
my Dear Mr.. Griffin: ! noticed
with a great deal of pleasure your
announcement for Sheriff to succeed
yourself, and am taking this method
of assuring you of my most hearty
personal support, and that whenever
an opportunity occurs | shall use what
ever influence / may have to further
your interests in that direction.

used your best efforts to enforce the
law, not any particular law, but all the
laws as you have found them. This
should be the highest ideal of any
executive official and should also full
fill the highest demands of a constit-
uency. I am for you not only from
past personal association; not only be-
cause you are from Mt. Pleasant, the
onliest only pebble on the 'Dimple,'
but because you do try and do en-.
force the laws.
Every truly your friend,

AS TO eouLEvARDs.

II would be a mighty fine thing to
have boulevards running from Column
zbia to every part of the county. Wa
Aar-proof, macadamized or paved roads
would be big asset, assuredly to the
city and the people Of the county.
Hsut to The Herald it would be In
dsnitely better for Columbia and fairer
10 all OF the county if all the roads
were improved and there were less
talk OF a boulevard or paved road to
.any particular section of the county.
There is no particular demand IN
ahis county for speedways. What we
do need is real good roads, highways
that will meet the demands OF ordi-
mary traffic. We are too much in
seiined to consider the character OF
road that is suitable for pleasant trav-
zel at a high rate of speed for the
automobile, forgetting that now and
FOR years to come the vast majority
OF the people of the county will use
shorse-drawn vehicles. The major por-
eti0n of all the products of the farms
mat are brought to Columbia and
wfich form the basis of our wealth,
acDme in horse-drawn vehicles. What
swe need is q system of free roads
radiating from Columbia that will
smeet the demands of the ordinary
traffic.
The Herald has no sort of objec-
zion to the citizens of any road or any
O.. community, by their own subscrip-
Hions building any character of high
class road that suits them, but 1t re-
marks apply only to the expenditure
aof funds obtained by taxation of all
the people. 1t believes that good COM
mon sense, fairness and practical re-
suits all suggest the construction Of
a system of good, well metalled roads
that will meet the demands of the
ordinary traffic of the county

At the earnest request Of the dele
CATION from Maury county the board
of trustees of the proposed Girls Vo-
cational school at their meeting at
Nashville on Tuesday postponed the
question of locating the school for ten
days. This was to give the Maury
county people an opportunity to make
a definite and concrete proposition to
the board
Col John w. Fry and Senator ]. W.
C. Church, who appeared for Maury
county, returned enthusiastic and con.
fident that if this county will make a
substantial offer of lands, properly To-
Gated that the school can easily be
secured for this section. Morristown
and Cleveland, in East Tennessee, and
Dickson, in Middle Tennessee have
all made splendid propositions to give
land for the location of the school and
the metropolis of Bradley in addition
offered an automobile cows, chickens,
horses, etc.
Col Fry and Senator Church had
no definite proposition to make, stat
ing that the people here had been In
formed that this county would have
no chance, but that the school would
assuredly be located in Davidson
county. Members of the board agreed
that this information had been i'm.
properly given out and that In conse-
quence Maury county had not had a
fair show and the postponement of
ten days was allowed
Col. Fry will go to work at once to
get definite proposition. He be-
lieves that II the county will donate
100 acres Of land located near the
railroad and close to a station, where
the hauling proposition will be obviat.
ed, that this county will be awarded

Maury county appeals powerfully to
the members of the board. He will
attempt to have the members Of the
County Court commit themselves on
the matter. II anything is done 1t
must be done quick, because only ten
days are allowed.
