MORE VACANCIES
THAN APPLICATIONS
STRENUOUS EFFORTS ARE BEING
MADE TO SECURE MORE STE.
NoGRAPHERS FOR SERVICE.

Only thirty-one applications have
been received to date for the entire
district for the examination to be held
on December 5, 1916, for positions as

far below that which is needed and
strenuous steps are being taken to
get sufficient number of applications
to fill the vacanvies in the service.
One of the examinations will be held
in Columbia. The salaries offered are
between 5000 and $1,000, and reason
ably rapid promotion is assured. The
applicant must be over eighteen years
of age. Applications should be for
warded at once to the District Secre'
tary, Civil Service, Atlanta, Ga. Both
male and female stenographers are
wanted.
AS the result of the recent exami'
nations held in this city, Miss Mary
Lancaster has secured a position in

NO SANTA CLAUS
LETTERS PUBLISHED
ON ACCOUNT OF HIGH COST OF
PAPER HERALD COMPELLED
TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Owing to the high cost of paper,
The Herald is compelled to refuse to
publish letters to Santa Claus this
Christmas. In the past the custom of
The Herald has been to publish just
before Christmas large numbers of
letters from little tots to their patron
saint, but this year some other meth
cd will have to be adopted to let Old
Santa know what is wanted.
Not too many of the open flreplacos
have passed for the little ones to make
use of the chimney method by which
the applications are carried to the
regions of the North Pole with the
smoke of burning wood. Perhaps the
little boys and girls can send them in
this way and they will reach old Santa
in time for him to put all his pigmies
to work making the things of the
hearts desire.
Anyway, The Herald will be unable
to publish the letters.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.

Comparing the support given by this
state to its university with that &C
corded by other states to their uni
Jersities, the Chattanooga Times
makes an earnest plea for better pro
Vision for the University of Tennes-
see. The Times is right. The Herald
will be glad to cooperate with it and
Ill the other friends of popular educa.
lion to secure legislation at the next
session of the general assembly that
will do some measure of justice to the
cap stone of our educational system.
The University of Tennessee should
be the pride of every citizen of the
state, no matter where he may live.
t should be such an institution that
will compare favorably with any other
n the land 1t is the peoples great
university, their only hope to give
their sons and daughters equal oppor-
lunities in the race of life. Tennessee
has been niggardly, shamefully so in
its support of the state university.
This state is spending annually less
than 100000 on its university, com
Dared to nearly $1,OOO,O0O per year
expended by Missouri, a state that
has only little more than double the
population of Tennessee. We are
rather prone to think ourselves su-
perior to Mississippi and more ad-
vanced, but that state is spending an
nually on higher education three times
as much as Tennessee. South Caro-
lima, where a majority of the people
are negroes, a state that suffered as
few others from the ravages of war
is spending nearly half million on
its state colleges.
The legislature should give real,
substantial aid to the university That
institution is the only hope of large
majority of the ambitious boys and
girls of Tennessee who expect to Sc
cure an education that will make them
fit to cope with the boys and girls of
any other state. If we are to make
success of our democracy we must
have an educated citizenship, one edu-
Gated in the cradle of democracy, the
public schools. That we cannot have
without paying the price. What will
it profit us to erect magnificent coun-
ty high schools. give them the best of
faculties and equipment and then re-
fuse their graduates any opportunity
to complete their education?
The Herald feels sure that the rep
resentatives from Maury county can
be counted upon to give sympathetic

RAISING FOXES.

Commenting editorlally on the meet
ing of the National Fox Hunters AS
ISOLATION in Columbia, the Nashville
Banner suggests that fox farming in
this section would be profitable. Com
mercial growing of fur animals has
long been profitable in Canada and
while the fur of the fox and other fur
producing animals would not be as
good in Tennessee as ii is in the states
further north or in Canada there is
now ready market for most any quail
ity of fur at good price so that the
suggestion of the Banner is worthy of
serious consideration.
This illustrates again the great di-
versity of the resources of Tennessee.
Therein lies the chief factor in wealth
producing. There are better agricul-
tural states in the Union than the Vol
unteer state; there are states where
manufacturing can probably be more
extensively carried on; there are other
sections of the union richer in some
of the minerals, but there is no state
where farming, manufacturing and
mining can all be carried on so ex-
tensively and so proftably as Tennes-
ness. This point was made recently
by Former Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, at the University of
Tennessee. Tennessee is a state of
wonderful possibilities. We have
started its development; in some lines
merely scratched the surface.
Red foxes abound in this section of
the state, despite the steady encroach-
ment of civilization Now they are of |
little or no value. They prey upon
the hen roosts and sometimes the pig |
pens. They afford sport for a frac-
tional part of the people. In properly !
fenced enclosures they could be ex-
tensively raised and their fur made
a big item in bringing wealth and !
prosperity to this section. The Ban
ner's idea is good one and in a few
years some enterprising citizen will
try the experiment.

EXCITING CHASE
In CITY LIMITS
SOLITARY DOG PURSUES RED AND
TAKES HIM NEAR THE DUCK
RIVER BRIDGE.

A thrilling fox chase was staged at
seven o'clock this morning on the
Columbia bluff of Duck river to the
intense delight of a few people who
happened to be at the bridge on the
Nashville pike. A solitary hound was
chasing the red and finally caught it
just down the river from the bridge.
When the chase first came in sight
up the river, the dog was about fifty
yards behind and was making music"
for whole pack. When, however, the
chase grew closer the old hound was
right on the ground and not saying a
word. After running for a few Sec
onds separated by only a few feet, the
fox was taken. Some boys from Riv-
erside took it away from the dog.

THE JACKSON HIGHWAY.

Maury county is fortunate in secur-
ing the Jackson Highway. However,
The Herald never entertained seri-
Gus doubt about getting the route
through Columbia, the only uncertain
point being the routing from here
South. The purchase of the turnpikes
and removal of the toll-gates insured
the success of the campaign to obtain
this route. The highway will be big
advertisement for Maury county.
Thousands of tourists will annually
pass through the county over this
route who otherwise would never have
seen this country. The Dimple has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
thorugh advertising. The more people
we get to look over this country the
greater the demand for our lands.
The Jackson Highway through
Maury county is also going to prove a
powerful factor in securing better
roads. 1t will stimulate interest and
pride in all Of the highways of the
county. People in the sections more
remote from the center of travel will
not be content to have third rate
roads in their portion of the county.
They will realize that without good
roads and easy means of communica-
ton their homes will be at distinct
disadvantage.
Good roads have always been found
In the countries, ancient, medieval
and modern, which boosted the highest
degree of civilization. One of the
great assets of the Roman empire was
its wonderful highways, the founda-
tons of which two thousand years
after their construction, still remain.
These roads, running to the further
most parts of the empire kept Rome
in constant touch with the frontiers
and made it possible to mobilize a
large army upon short notice at any
threatened point.

CARMACK MONUMENT.

To the Editor of The Herald:
1t has been several years since
fund was raised to erect a monument
to the memory of e. w. Carmack.
We think If the committee would
make a statement, as to how mucn
was subscribed, and how much paid
in, and when they propose to get busy
with the monument, they will confer
favor on the general public.
