ies lay face to face in their camps | near Hastings The Saxons, flushed | with their victory, over the Norwe. gians, were superbly confident thai | the Normans would fall before them as easily, and they spent the night
 drinking, dancing and singing. While Harolds men feasted and quaffed great bumpers of ale and wine, the Normans betook themselves to the offices of piety, confessed and re- ceived the holy sacrament thousands at a time.
 The English had encamped on high ground. which they had fortified with trenches and palisades. The Normans singing the "Song of Roland" charg- ed up the slope, led by the giant min- strel knight Taillefer, who was the first to fall.
 The Saxons held their ground with true English courage, and the assaults of the bowmen and the wild charges or Williams cavalry were alike re- pelled. The Saxons wielded their great battle axes with terrible effect, cleaving both horse and rider witt, a single blow. At one time the report spread through the Norman ranks that William was dead, and the lines broke in confusion. but the, Duke soon rallied his men.
 From, nine in the morning to three in the afternoon the battle waged furi- ously without either side having any advantage. William. then decided to resort to strategy. He ordered his men to flee, as if in defeat, before the Saxons. Harold suspected a ruse, and ordered his men to stand firm. but they were so aroused by the lust for slaughter that they did not heed his commands. Pell mell they rush. ed after the Normans, who suddenly turned and fell upon them cutting them down by thousands. In other parts of the field, the same plan work ed successfully. The lines of liar olds encampment were forced, and soon the banner of England was cut down and replaced by the standard of Normandy. King Harold was kill ed by random arrow which entered his brain through his left eye, and his two brothers were also slain in the conflict. The Normans were left in complete possession of the field, and soon extended their sway over Eng land. The Saxon warriors fled ito the forests where they lived like outlaws and were hunted like wild beasts hv the Norman lords
 Although the terribly destructive weapons of modern warfare were then undreamed of, the carnage in the bat- tie of Hastings was fearful. Nearly a third of the total forces engaged were killed.

GUSHING JUSTICES.

fees. will be generally sustained. The
encouragement very properly bases
his conclusions upon the opinions Of
the supreme court in the cases of State
ex rel against Holt and State ex rel
against Lowell appealed from this
county ten years ago. The same prop
psitions involved in the present inquiry
were raised in those cases.
The encouragement very correctly
.etptes that members Of the county
-court and attorneys of this county
have relied upon the opinions Of the
supreme court in the aforementioned
cases. This they had right to do.

to whom are they to look? The
supreme court interprets the laws OF
Tennessee and citizens and officials
alike have a right to rest upon It's
interpretations.
1t would be as the district attorney
so aptly remarks, not only presump-
tuous in him to proceed in the face
of the decision of the supreme court,
but it would be manifestly unjust and
unfair to honorable members Of the
county court to subject them to ex-
pensive, vexaticus and long drawn out
litigation for acts previously held by
the highest judicial power in the state,
to be in conformity to the laws Of the
1t is also true that the
Justices took no advantage of the
county. IN fact, it is not even charged
that the county lost one dime as the
result of any dealings between the
members Of the court and any insttu-
ton Of it.
The Herald has all the time taken
the identical position now assumed by
the prosecuting officer of this circuit.
When the first threats of custer suits
were made against justices of the
peace this paper pointed to the de-
cisions of the supreme court in the
Holt and Lowell causes. It insisted
then that the members Of the court as
well as the attorneys of Columbia had
a right to look to the supreme court
for guidance.

COMMISSIONER MURPHY.

It is a nice, rather fine question OF
law that Attorney General Frierson
raises in his opinion in re Murphy,
read commissioner. If Mr.. Murphy
violated the law, as the attorney-gen'
eral holds, it seems pretty evident
from the facts stated in the opinion,
that the violation was largely If not
wholly technical. In other words
there is lacking proof of any premedi-
tated attempt to profit at the expense
of the county by any illegal conduct
In office. AS a matter Of fact, If the
hiring of the Murphy teams by the dis
trict commissioner was in contraven-
ton of the law, there is no evidence
that Mr. Murphy profited thereby
The team was hired to the county at
$3.50 per day, which is less than many
farmers in and around Columbia are
able to secure teams for in doing pri-
vate work. 1t was, as stated by the
Acknowledgement, assuredly a reason
able" charge. Whatever the outcome
of the case, and it will be decided
purely upon legal grounds, it will be
gratifying to Mr.. Murphys many
friends to know that there is nothing
in the charges that reflection upon his
integrity or that shows the slightest
disposition to take any advantage OF
the county.

COMING CATTLE SALE.

Nothing has been of such advantage
to the agricultural interests OF Maury
county as the distribution of more
than 100 head of the best individuals
of the breef breeds OF cattle during
the past year. 1t will be year or two
before the farmers will fully realize
the value of this progressive move
ment, but when their steers begin to
60 to the shambles, when their heifers
are placed upon the market they will
quickly determine in dollars and cents
the value Of better blood lines.
Another opportunity is to be given
the farmers of the county on next
Monday to acquire at their own prices,
that is in open market, some choice
specimens Of both the Aberdeen-An-
gus and the Shorthorn breeds. 1t Ia
to be hoped that progressive farmers
who have not yet joined the movement
to improve their beef cattle will at
tend the sale and make purchases. It
costs no more in feed or pasture bin
to bring to maturity a good, well-bred
steer than it does one which has
scrub sire and perhaps an even COM
moner dam. This is assuming that the
purchases will largely be made for
breeding up on grades. Where farm.
ers are contemplating the breeding of
pure bred beef cattle blood lines of
course are more important and the
profits will be larger.
As The Herald has several times
remarked there is no good reason why
Maury county should not be one Of
the great beef breeding cattle counties
of the Union. There is no reason why
there should not be scores Of farmers
In this county engaged in this bust
ness and annually holding auction
sales Of the best individuals OF the
breeds. The more breeders there are
In the county the more profitable the
business will be. One or two in al
community cannot do much, but il
there are several associated together
they can be mutually helpful to each
other.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad is doing a splendid ser.
vice to the farmers Of this county in
encouraging the distribution Of better
bred beef cattle. The. farmer who
does not at least lend moral support
to this effort to improve conditions Is
standing in his own light.

lar. Those gentlemen, the state COM
mittee, the campaign committee and
all other democrats will work together
in absolute harmony for the success
of the state ticket, one that is assured
ly richly deserving Of success.
That Rye, Mcclellan and Enloe will
be elected in November, The Herald
has not now and has never had any
doubt. But the majority should be an
emphatic one. This is presidential
year, the democrats will have the ad-
vantage Of Wilson's great leadership,
Of his magnificent record for construc-
tive legislation and achievement The
majority in Tennessee should set a
new record and it will be large if dem
ocrats can be induced to go to the
polls. There is no denying the fact
that the people are apathetic, but this
apathy Is about as characteristic Of the
republicans as it is Of the democrats.
The democrats are really more enthu-
siastic than the republicans. Both in
state and national affairs the republi-
cans this time stand for q policy Of
negation. They are attacking the
democrats but are offering nothing
better.
The campaign in Tennessee need not
be long one. It would be better to
postpone the actual opening until late
in this month or the first Of next
month. People are right now so much
absorbed in other matters. They are
not going to take seriously to politics
for some time to come. In many OF
the Eastern states nominations are
not made until a month or six weeks
before the election and the campaigns
are necessarily short. In Tennessee
we make them from a year to SIX
months before election and the peo-
pie become surfeited and disguised
with pelitics. Our vote is steadily
diminishing, which is far from being a
healthy sign.
