COLUMBIANS ARE ELECTED
TRUSTEES Of .MACApEMY

Columbians will in the future con-
troll and direct the destinies of the
Columbia Military Academy, one of
the greatest school properties of the
state. The old trustees, realizing that
the school was to a certain extent
hampered by the fact that they all
lived away from Columbia, had no
local interests here and in the very
nature of things found it impossible
to give the school that personal atten-
tion and sympathetic interest which it
deserved, have resigned. In their
places an entirely new board, COM
posed Of the leading citizens of the
county, has been selected.
The new board is composed as fol
ows
Washington G. Whitthorne, county
attorney and one of the leading law
yers of Columbia's bar, vestryman
of the St. Peters Episcopal church.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
LEAGUE PLEASED
CONGRATULATIONS WIRED FIRST
WOMAN ELECTED TO THE
NATIONAL HOUSE.

Members of the Columbia Equal Suf-
frage League have telegraphed Miss
Jeanette Rankin, of Missoula, Mon
tana, congratulating her upon her
election to congress. Miss Rankin is
the first woman since the beginning Of
the government ever elected to the
national house of representatives.
She was the republican nominee and
although the state gave Wilson ma
jority she was elected over her mere
man" democratic opponent by nearly
1000 votes. Members of the local
Equal Suffrage are very much delight
ed over Miss Rankin's success as 1t
marks an epoch in the advancement
Of the suffrage movement. This is
the most important Office to which
a woman has ever been elected in this
country.

FOX HORN CARVED
NINETY YEARS AGO
EXHIBITED Al MEET
INTERESTING RELIC BROUGHT TO
THE CITY BY HORACE
M. POLK.
REAL WORK OF HIGHEST ART
Was Done BY Thomas Independence
Polk, One of the Early Settlers Of
This Section and the Grandfather
or Present Owner.

Horace N. Polk. of Spring Hill, has
contributed to the fox hunt to be ex-
hibited at Woldridge's drug store, one
of the Oldest and most artistic hunt
ing horns in the state. The horn was
made in 1926, ninety years ago, BY
Thomas independence Polk. grand
father Of Mr.. Polk. He was evidently
a good hand with the knife for the
work is that Of an artist, the decora-
tions on the horn, in spite of the lapse
of time indicating, rare ability as o
carver There are pictures of foxes,
of deer, of hounds and other scenes OF
the chase and the hunt carved upon
the horn. Around a fox carved In
1893 are twenty-five dots, indicating
that Mr.. Polk in that year captured
twenty-five Reynards.
The hounds are so well done on the
horn that Mr.. Polk's father, son Of the
original owner Of the horn, could call
each of them by name. While visiting
his mother, the present owner, Horace
M. Polk, in 1884 discovered by acci.
dent the horn. 1t had been allowed to
decay and a number of worm holes
were eaten in it. Mr.. Polk Immediate
ly secured his mother permission to
take possession of the horn and had
he not gotten rid Of the worms 1t
would have been entirely destroyed
by this time.
The original owner and carver Of
the horn was born on July 4, hence
his middle name OF Independence"
It is expected that this old horn, with
a history of the field and the forest
that II It could speak would equal any
htat has ever been written, will prove
one of the most interesting relics
shown at next weeks meet Mr. Polk
prizes the horn very highly.

YEARS
HASsBEEN A VOTER
REMARKABLE RECORD OF DR.. W..
3, HARRISON, WHO CAST BAL
LOT FOR PIERCE.

When Or. W. B. Harrison on Tues
day of last week cast his ballot for
Woodrow Wilson for president, he vot-
ed for his fifteenth democratic nomi-
nee for that office. DR.. Harrison has
been voting for president for sixty
four years and but for the fact that
on account Of the war between the
states he was disqualified in two elec-
tions, would have voted for democrat
ic nominees seventeen times. That is
a record probably not equalled by any
other citizen Of Maury county.
DR.. Harrison cast his first ballot
for electors for Franklin Pierce in
1852. Four years later he voter for
Buchanan and Breckenridge. In 1860
he voted for Breckenridge and Lane.
In 1864 he was in the Confederate
army. Tennessee was out Of the I'm
ion and he did not vote. He would
have voted for McClelland. In 1868
he would have voted for Horatio Sey-
mour, but had been disfranchised by
the radical legislature Four years
later he voted for Greely and Brown.
In 1876 for Tilden and Hendricks; in
1880 for Hancock and English; in 1884
for Cleveland and for the same in
1888 and 1892. In 1896, 1900 and 1908
he voted for Bryan. In 1904 he voted
for Parker and in 1912 and 1916 for
Wilson.

ROAD COLLECTION
ARE ABOUT SAME
THOUSAND AND TWENTY-FIVE
RECEIPTS ISSUED DURING
THE YEAR.

Road tax combinations will amount
this year to just about what was col
lected from this source by the trustee
last year.
Up to date there have been 1,025 re-
ceipts issued by the trustee, making
the total collected from this source
$3,O75. 1t is not expected that this
will be materially increased before the
end of the year.
While tax collections are dull at this
season of the year the trustee report
ed a slight increase during October.
Total tax collections during that
month were $1,000 as compared with
s915 for the same month of last year.
So far this month the collections have
not been materially different from the
amounts received in the same period
last year.

Composition of Next House.

representative Lemuel P. Padgett
left Thursday for Washington to re-
sumo his legislative duties. Mr.. Pad
gett has called the committees on naval
affairs OF the house, of which he Is
chairman, to meet on next Monday at
the capitol to begin the preparation
Of the stupendous naval appropria-
ton bill for the fiscal year ending on
June 80, 1918.
In preparing this bill Mr.. Padgett
was sure that the committee would
follow the policy Of the past session
in making provision for an adequate
and larger navy. The bill will carry
appropriations that will probably
mount up into the $200,000,000. The
work will require long time and will
not be completed and the bill ready
to report until some time after the
session of congress begins on the first
Monday of December.
Mr. Padgett expects very busy
session. He does not think an ad-
journment for the holidays for more
than week will be taken because OF
the limited time, since the life of the
congress expires by limitation OF law
on March 4 next. The program OF
legislation is an extensive one to say
nothing Of all the big supply bills.
Asked his opinion of the complexion
Of the next house, Mr.. Padgett said
that in view of the number OF close
contests and the absence OF any off1-
cial returns it was too early and the
conditions to uncertain to say what
might take place. Again he said that
1t was more than year until the next
session would convene and in the
meantime there might be half dozen
or more by elections to I'LL vacancies

BISHOP AND RAMBO
HtlO LIABLE FOR
DEBTS Of COMPANY
CHANCELLOR w. S. BEARDEN DE-
cIDEs CELEBRATED CASE IN
FAVOR MAURY NATIONAL.
LEGAL DOCTRINE OF tSTUPPEL
Forms Basis Of Decsion-No oppeaI
Granted Until Further Hearing
Suit One of Longest and Most Com
pIicated on Record of Maury Court.

Bringing to an end one of the long
est and most complicated cases in the
history of the Maury County Chancery
Court, Chancellor Waiter S. Bearden
on Wednesday afternoon decided that
c. Bishop and r. l.. w. Rambo are
jointly liable for the debts of the Bish-
op Produce Co. and ordered their lands
to be sold to satisfy the claims of the
Maury National Bank, The Franklin
County Bank, and other creditors.
The decision of the Chancellor was
based on the legal doctrine Of estop-
pei. He cited cases to show that by
any conduct of two men leading to the
belief that partnership exists between
them, liability is established, since
they lend their credits by such ac-
tion Chancellor Bearden devoted
nearly five hours to thorough review
of the case in all it's aspects, and
handed down one of the most learned
decisions ever received in the Maury
County Chancery Court.
Under the decision of the sChancel-
lor no effort is made to establish
whether Rambo or Bishop shall be ex-
hausted first to satisfy the claims Of
the creditors, since no cross pleading
was filed between the two parties. No
effort was made to establish the prf
ority Of the claims of the creditors,
which was left for further hearing.
The lands attached by the Maury Ma
tional Bank and those attached by the
Franklin County Bank we're ordered
sold to satisfy the claims Of the two
concerns.
Solicitors for Bishop and Rambo
filed notice of an appeal, but the ap-
peal will not be granted until after
further hearing of the case.
The suit of the Maury National Bank
VS.. C. Bishop ct al, involving $4,000,
was one of the most complicated on
record. Six bills and cross bills were
filed in Chancery. The record consist
ed of more than 1900 typewriter
pages, and over week was consumed
In the reading Of the proof.
The suit grew out of the failure Of
the Bishop Product Co. Debts were
made by the company which could not
be met. C. Bishop was the owner OF
the firm until October /, 1912, after
which date he claimed that r. L. w.
Rambo, manager of the concern, was
the owner. Rambo claimed that Bish-
op continued to be the owner. The
decision of the Chancellor was based
on the fact that, in the opinions OF
people not engaged in the business,
Rambo and Bishop were partners in
the concern
Many Of the most prominent solici-
tors in the state were engaged in the
hearing at this term of the Chancery
Court.

THOUSANDS SING TRIUMPH
OF DEMOCRATIC ROOSTER

1t was great; it was glorious; it
was patriotic.
With more than ten thousand peo-
nile in the city and parade more than
q mile and a half in length, Maury
county on Monday night officially Gel
ebrated the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson to the presidency Of the Uni
ted States. Never before in the his
tory of the county has anything been
held approaching in magnitude the
gigantic jubilee. Not when Cleveland
was elected president, not when Ten
nessee went dry, has Maury county
gone so completely wild as on Monday
night.
The climax of the night was reached
when Senator Luke Lea and Congress
man Lemuel P. Padgett spoke from
an improvised platform at the west
door of the Court House to people who
were packed and jammed for many
blocks.
Long before seven-thirty, the hour
Of the parade, the downtown streets

Hog killing weather arrived In
Naury county this morning and as
result many, many are the festive
porkers that will yield up the gnost
today. The weather is pronounced by
farmers almost ideal, although the
season is a bit early for killing. How
ever, no one anticipates any danger
OF the loss of meat killed at this time.
The largest killing in the county
today is that of NJ. E. Allen, chairman
OF the election board, who will put on
the pole between eighty and one hun
dred head. A number of other packers
will kill today, although the number

with all Of the bone present however,
sold readily from wagons on the
streets and Court Square at fifteen
Gems per pound, a price that only
a few years ago would have been con-
sidered high for breakfast bacon and
prohibitive for the very choicest Of
country cured, hickory smoked Maury
county hams. There was no disposi-
ton, however, to question the prices
for the folks realized that ten cent
hogs mean higher finished products.
