HON. w. h. LONG.

Considerable interest will be mani
tested in the authoritative announce,
ment of Hon. William H. Long of Mt.
Pleasant, that he will not again be a
candidate for representative from this
county During two terms Mr.. Long
has represented the county with abil-
ity and fidelity. No higher class citi-
zen has ever been sent to the legisla-
ture by this county than w. H. Long.
He was true to every prediction
pledge that he made.
Mr.. Long says: Il consented to
become a candidate in 1912 solely in
the interest of certain principles and
as these principles, for which the in
dependent democrats contended and
for which they were denounced as I'M
democratic, are now the ground work
of the democratic platform, I
feel that my mission has been accom-
plished."
This is plain statement of fact.
The Herald is fully aware that Mr..
Long would not have made the contest
in 1912 unless he had been fully per-
suaded that his candidacy was neces-
sary to the triumph Of the temperance
cause at that time in Maury county.
Going to the legislature involved a
sacrifice upon his part and he did not
consent to yield until he had been
convinced by friends that it was
public duty that he ought not to shirk.
He is likewise correct in his state.
ment that the temperance cause is
now safe. 1t is safe in the keeping Of
the regular democratic organization Of
the state. 1t is safe in the keeping OF
the present democratic state admins.
tration. There is now no longer any
sort of excuse for a division among
democrats upon the temperance issue.
That question has been settled and
settled right and today the democratic
organization in Tennessee is much
more thoroughly committed to the
cause than is the republican admins
tration. Every person who processes
to be a democrat should support Gov.
Rye in this contest. He Is as much
entitled to the votes of independent
democrats as he is to the support Of
of the regular" democrats. !

man although different from the aver
age who are selected for positions Of
this kind. No better selection could
have been made. John R. Mott has
labord all his life for humanity. He
loves all men, without regard to race,
color or creed. Whether in the far
off recesses of the mountains of Asia,
in the slums Of New York, from
"Greenland's icy mount to midas
coral strand" Mott has been in the
forefront of every movement for a
decade and more for the spread of
Christianity, the uplift of humanity
He is striking personality. Those
who attended the great student volun-
teer convention at Nashville ten years
ago last February, can never forget
the dominating force, the deep spiritu-
atty, the tremendous personality of
John R. Mott. He believes in system
and in order; that whatever one does
that should he do with all Of his
might. He is an intensely practical
Christian who believes that man can
show his love for God only by his SER
vice for his fellow man. II the ap-
pointment of John R. Mott does not
inspire confidence in the good inten-
tions of America toward Mexico,
among the intelligent men OF the
Southern country, that task is utterly
impossible.

AL. BLOCKER & SON
MAKE GOOD DEAL
SELL FARM OF n. o. FULTON AND
SIXTY LOTS IN FLORIDA
FOR ]. o. CHEEK.

H. O. Fulton has sold his farm near
Spring Hill, on the Kedron pike, to
Otey Dawson, for $4,000, for which he
took in exchange house and lot in
Riverside. The farm contains 240
acres and is considered good land.
j. 0. Cheek has sold sixty lots in
Wintergarden, Florida, to W. G. Rain
ey, and took in exchange on the deal
four houses and lots on Ninth street,
In Columbia. Mr.. Rainey, 1t is under
stood, will go to Florida this fall and
will possibly make his home there in
the future. Mr.. Cheek invested heav.
lily in Florida real estate and still has
a number Of lots which he believes he
will dispose of at good profit.
Both Of the above deals were con.
summated through A. L. Blocker &
Son, local real estate dealers. Mr..
Blocker announced this morning that
there was more activity in real estate
now than has been for the past year,
and that there were more moneyed
men desiring to invest their wealth in
dirt, and especially in Maury county
dirt, than he had known since he had
been in the real estate game.

HIGHER FREIGHT.

After all it Is the ultimate consumer
who must pay the cost Of averting the
railroad strike. An eight-hour day
instead of ten-hour day means that
the railroad employees will get as much
for eight hours work as they have
been getting for ten hours labor. That
is roughly an increase Of the pay roll
for the employees involved of twenty
five per cent. The railroads will have
to make up the difference, estimated
at from $50,OOOOO0 to 100000.
600 per annum from some
where. They cannot create the
wealth. 1t must be secured either
In reducing expenses in other direc-
lions or by an increase of freight or
passenger fares or both. 1t is hardly
likely that there will be any increase
in passenger rates nor are other econ
omies practicable, therefore the only
avenue of escape Is through the in
crease of freight rates.
Rates for carrying freight will be
increased all over the country that
comparatively few men may draw ten
hours pay for eight hours work, while
the great mass of humanity will have
to labor just little bit longer and
harder to pay the increase that will
be added to everything they buy to pay
the increased cost of freight transpor-
tation. For after all the increase
must be paid by the ultimate consum-
er. The railroads will charge more
freight, the merchants must make up
the difference by adding little more
to the cost price Of what they sell. 1t
is hardly fair or just proposition,
but it is better that this should be
done than the wheels of all the rail
road engines of the country be stopped.
Suffering, decentralization and loss in
calculable would result from a general
tie up of the transportation systems of
the country. No doubt President Will
son realizes this and appreciates the
fact that it is better to do an injustice
for the benefit of comparatively few
than to risk the consequences of
general strike.

offers the following very interesting
information coupled with many prac'
teal suggestions:
We are rapidly nearing the season
of the year when many OF the inhab-
itants of rural districts will be suf-
fering from various intestinal disturb
ances and it becomes very pertinent
to inquire: Why 1t 10 that in many
rural districts various intestinal dis
eases are more prevalent than they
are in large cities. when the reverse
should be true? We find at least n
partial answer to this question In the
difference in water supplies of the
TWO districts. In the cities the water
supplies are usually carefully guarj'
ed against contamination, while In the
country districts the supply OF water
Is usually obtained from wells and
these in many places are shallow and
what is worse than that, not protect
ed from the filth which may be car
ried in from the top.
Eminent authorities on this subject
have found that where one death from
typhoid could be prevented by impros-
ing the water supply, two or three
deaths from other causes could be
prevented by the Improvement. An
improved water supply not only re-
Il duces the number OF deaths from ty-
phoid fever, but decreases infant moi"
tality and the death rate from castro
intestinal disturbances. This Is due
not only to the removal of disease pro
ducing organisms frCm the water Dut
there are many otler supsta"oes an"
organisms in impure water which
greatly reduce the bodily vigor OF
the individual using 1t. And anything
or condition which in any way reduc'
es the bodily vitality makes the indi-
vdual an easy mark for disease.

ed with planks between which grass
hoppers, toads or leaves make their
way. 1t Is easy to see how the NTH

from children playing on the planks

Which was forced through Congress.
He says 1t is vicious from every con.

That is taxation. which is net even
dignihed by the label of government
taxation, without representation and
therefore even more contrary to Am
erican principles than any speaker
has mentioned. But there are other
points of objection, as Senator Borah
says "In addition to that, while 1t
has been said that society sanctions
an eight hour day, this bill does not
purport to establish an eight hour
day, but to increase the wages of
more than 20 per cent OF the en-
ployes Of railroads. About so per
cent OF these employees, some OF whom
receive very low wages and perform
arduous services, are not benefited.by
the bill. The bill purports to cover
only those who are actually operating
trains. The other so per cent are
left out entirely.
Labor will some time regard as
a tremendous error this whole prop
osition. 1t will hurt organized labor;
