Total Assessments OF The County
Now About Fourteen Millions
County Clerk viii Begin at Once
Work on the Tax Books.

Maury county's assessment for this
year will probably exceed that Of last
year by a quarter Of million dollars.
This was the estimate made at the
conclusion OF the work of county
board of equalization, which has COM
pleted it's months labors and ad-
journed.
Increases were made in the assess
ments both by the assessor and the
county board and while the totals have
not been definitely ascertained, it Is
stated that the total additions will be
not less than a quarter of million.
This year the lands of the county were
assessed for the first time in two years
and the assessments approved by the
county board will hold for the coming
two years.
The aggregate assessment of all
property in the county is approximate
ly $14,OOO,0OO. This includes the rail-
road, telephone and telegraph assess
ments that are made by the board of
railroad commissioners. The tax rate
in the county for next year will be
$1.53 on the $780, so that the increased
assessment will yield approximately
an addition of $4,000 in revenue to the
state and county schools and special
funds.
County Clerk Arch w. Lipscomb will
begin work on the tax book soon. He
has until the first Monday of October
to complete the task.

MOTION TO SUSPEND

THEIR PETITION SPECIFIC

FIRST BRUSH FOR DEFENDANTS
Rights OF Parties Attacked Under The
Law Are Outlined by Judge Turner

Answer to the Complaint.
Fridays Daily.)

There will be no vague, general
or indefinite petitions in the cases
allowed by Judge Turner of the
circuit court. Not only that but
the petitioners must set out In de-
tail every charge made against the
defendants Hight and Brooks so
that they may know just what
they will be required to answer.
This in brief was the holding oil
Judge Turner in the first brush over
the Wilkes custer petitions. He also
held that the motion for a suspension
from office of the defendants was pre-
mature and that no witnesses should
be summoned in the case until the
court had indicated that the same
should be done.
As soon as the hearing of the custer
cases against Road Commissioner
Hight and Justice of the Peace Brooks
was called in the circuit court this
afternoon, Attorney PEBBLES for the
prosecutor, Wilkes, rendered amend
nents to both the petitions. Mr.
hughes objected that the amendments

and uncertain. that they did not put

the defense on notice as to what they
would have to answer.
The objections were sustained by
Judge Turner, who said that every Of
tense, the time, place, manner and
names of parties must be set out in
detail. Judge Turner said he would
not have any dragnet, that there had
just been general county investiga-
ton and that his court would only hear
proof upon issues made up by the
pleadings. He made it plain that the
amendments to come within the view
of the court must deal in the facts IN
detail
Mr.. Hughes then eontended that the
motion for a suspension and the sum.
moning of witnesses was altogether
premature; that defendant had twenty
days under the law in which to an.
swer and that he could not answer
without knowing just what would be
contained in the petitions Of the rela.
tors. The court held that the applica-
ton for a suspension was premature
and that the defendants had right TO
have twenty days from the filing Of
the bill in which to make their an
swer.
The counsel for the prosecutor was
directed to draft the amendments de.
sired and present them to the court.
Counsel attempted to outline what the
amendments would contain but the
court announced that he could not
pass upon the sufficiency Of the same
until they had been drafted.
The defendants were represented by
a brilliant array of counsel and large
number of their friends were present
in the full confidence that as found by
the recent investigating committee
there had been no wrong-doing.

prosecution, while defendants we're
