DOUBT ABOUT HIS BEING
ELECTED.

the new secretary of the Board OF
Trade. That is he will be elected If
he will consent, to serve and his friends
believe that his public spirit, when put
to the test will compel him to accept
and become the executive officer OF the
organization
All agree that Col Fry is one of the
most progressive energetic and Invest
of all the citizens Of the city No man
has ever taken more interest in public
matter than he has or devoted more
time to the advancement Of the inter-

untiring worker, full of enthusiasm
and numbers his friends by his ac-
quaintances.
More credit probably was due to
Col. Fry than any individual in the
county for tn immense amount of pub
Iicity, god advertising that Maury
county received in the great National
Fox Hunters meeting here last No
yember. To him almost altogether
was due the magnificent lght that the
county made and should have won to
secure the location of the State Girls

All of these things admirably equip
Col. Fry for the place of secretary OF
the Board of Trade, and if his consent

LIST Of

THOSE FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY
ARE LARGELY IN THE
MAJORITY.
FIFTH DISTRICT IN THE Lad

Comes Next After The Ninth With
Number EnrolIed-Table Showing
The Number Who Have Been En-
rolled by the Several Grades.
OF the total enrolment of 275 pupils
in the city and county high school, the
country pupils furnish 152, or very
largely more than a majority. In the
country pupils, that is those who live
outside of the corporate limits OF the
city of Columbia, naturally the ninth
district leads. Being more convent
emily located it furnishes eighty-three
of the pupils. The second district in
the number of pupils furnished is the
fifth, which sends to the high school
no less than twenty-five pupils. The
fourth district is third in the list, with
sixteen pupils.
Naturally, few come from the sew
enth, the school at Mt. Pleasant being
attended by the pupils of that section
and the same is true of the tenth
district. The first district has only
one pupil, but this is expected to be
increased during the coming year.
The following is the list of the coun
try pupils of the county together with
table showing the number by dis
tricts and also the enrolment of the
high school by grades:

{. v. BEM|S IS 0USTED
BY MAYOR OF CHICAGO
Declares That Politics Is Motive for
Action by Windy City
Official.
Is Engaged in Making Valuation of
Public Service Corporations
in the District.

Edward W. Bemis, who for more than
a year and a half has been employed
by the public utilities commission in
making a valuation of the public serv-
ice corporations operating in the Dis
trict, has been ousted from his posi-
ton as member of the board OF SUI
pervising engineers of Chicago.
The action. was taken by Mayor
Thompson on the ground that Mr. Be
mis- is not an engineer. as required by
the ordinance governing membership
on the board.
In confirming the report of his re-
moval, Mr.. Bemis, who also is a men,
Der of the advisory board on valua-
lions of the interstate commerce COM
mission, yesterday declared that po-
litical reasons were back of the change.
He said he was the last high salaried
officer appointed by former Mayor Har-
rison to be removed by Mayor Thomp-
son, and that his eligibility for mem
bership on the board had been upheld
by the corporation counsel under the
Harrison regime.
Mr.. Bemis did not seem disturbed by
Mayor Thompson's action. The posi-
ton. he said, paid him something like
$4,000 a year. He had been a member
of the board about two years.
District officials Surprised.
District officials expressed surprise
over the announcement. but said the
public utilities commission had not
employed Mr.. Bemis under the impress
sion that he was an engineer.
The valuation survey has con-
sisted of both engineering and account
ing and statistical work. While Mr..
Bemis has directed the undertaking. the
charge of C. L. Pillsbury, an engineer.
and the statistical and accounting work
in charge of Andrew Sangster.
According to Col. kutz, chairman of
the commission, Mr.. Bemis has been
paid about $1,000 to date, the work
covering a period of about one year and
eight months. 1t is expected that about
pleting the survey. which has been tenn
porarily halted on account of lack of
funds. The urgent deficiency bill con-
tains an item of $4,000 for completing
the valuation survey.
In the engineering division the work
has been completed for all local public
service corporations, with the excep-
statistical division there is work to be
done on the two gas companies and
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
1t is not thought the commission will
be ready to consider rate questions for
several months. Time will be required
for studying the Bemis report, and it is
planned to give the corporations oppor-
tunity to consider carefully any pros
|pective changes which the commission
may deem warranted by the showing of
the valuation.

will keep him out Of his continental

Mr.. Dies told the audience he had
been informed by Admiral FLETCHER
! that America now had the second navy
of the world. and by Gen. Weaver that
it had the strongest coast defenses In
the world.
In reference to the possibility of this
| country getting into war, he asked
what had any nations done that we
should have reason to fight them. He
declared Americans should keep away
from the scenes of war on land and
sea, and that it was the patriotic duty
of every man to stay from the danger.
when he was putting himself in way
to jeopardize the lives of our 100, 000,-

 She served as president of this club with unselfish devotion. giving to it's work from her wealth of mind and heart with sincere unassuming charm. She had high sense of honor and loyalty and her enthusiasm in all its undertakings was remarkable. She also had that rare gift of doing small things in a great way. We say of her with pride that she was a College Woman"
 Although her friendships were wide she had a fine sense of individuality and discrimination which made each friend of personal value a response to her own versatile nature. Indeed. SD close did she come to us. and so inti- mate and personal in our remembrance of her. that it seems almost too sacred to put into form an expression of ouI loss There was a certain lift of the spiriu' about her which We felt even from her presence in the room. And in these meetings which she loved. so vital was her influence that we cannot feel now that she is far from each one of us.
 We therefore ask in remembrance of her and as an expression of our sym pathy to those whose ioes is even great CT than ours, that these resolutions be made part of the record and a copy be sent to Dr. Morrill, and Austin and to her mother. Mrs Mccormick
