Entire Reorganization Will
Take Place; Switch
Generals.
WHOLE FORCE CAN
BE USED IN CALL
GuardSmen are Disposed
Along Border Soon
After Arrival.

GAN ANTONIO, July 3.-Major-
~ General Funston. who has had
command Of the entire border army,
was awaiting orders from the war
department tonight to turn over the
direction of the El Paso base and
everything west of there. Unofficially
he had been advised early in the day
that the recommendations he made
several days ago that the border army
be placed under the command of three
major generals had been acted upon
by the secretary of war. but later
news from Washington indicated that
General Funston would continue to
have charge of everything to the
Arizona state line for the present.
1t was expected here that Maj. j.
Franklin Bell. commanding the west
ern department, would take over the
western end of the line without delay,
but General Pershing's assumption of
the New Mexico department including
the FL Paso base will he delayed
pending the working out of minor
details"
Pershing Withdraws.
General Pershing has withdrawn
the southernmost part of his force and
has concentrated his main body in
such manner as to Withstand any at
tack the Mexican army might make.
His most southern station today was
at El Vale, some thirty miles north
of Namiquipa. His headquarters re-
mained at Colonia Dublan. Two main
points of concentration In easy reach
of each other have been established.
but Just where the two concentrations
are Is information that General Funs-
ton is Withholding. 1t is known, how
maintained in such way that General
Pershng could reinforce quickly any
point menaced or attacked.
Should it be decided, however, to
withdraw the force. it could be re-
moved without great confusion or
loss of time. The retreat would be
delayed somewhat by the necessity Of
loading and removing the big lot OF
supplies that have gone forward
steadily for many weeks.
Acting on the assumption that the
administration might call upon the
army to readjust relations with Mex
leo, General Funston and his staff
have planned the disposition Of the
national guardsmen so that with tho
forty thousand regular troops al
ready facing the international line,
the whole force could be used for in
vasion If called upon. Train after
train bearing guardsmen and sup
plies moved steadily towards desig-
mated stations today and indications
were that by the end Of the week the
mobilization would be. almost com
pleted

T ONDON, July 3.-G0't1 p. m.)-
IL TodaY's news Is again IL tale of
the continued progress of the Anglo
French offensive. Heavy fighting Is
proceeding all along the line. The
British mintain all their positions
south of tho Ancrc river. where the
battle still RACES. They have cap
tured La Eoisselle, tho garrison Oh
which surrendered. and arc fighting
successfully around Ovillers and
north Of Fricourt.
The British people learned for tho
first time tonight that tho famous
French general, Foch, who has won a
great reputation during the course Of
the war, Is directing the operations
south of the Somme river. This has
given increased confidence in the re.
suit of the allied offensive.
MIKE Big Gains
The French have captured Herbe-
court and Assevillers ard have made
other substantial gal,s, taking addi-
tional prisoners and heavy guns. They
are thus making great progress in the
direction o. the important German
junction OF Peronne which is only n
little over three miles distant from
their advance at HerDorcourt.

ran Asleep at Guns.
All reports emphasize the tremen-
dous nature OF tho British lombard
mcnt. The gunners worked so lnces-
sanity as almost to fall asleep at their
guns, and when there was a slight re-
cess in the firing they slept easily
amid the thunders Of the battle.
Great importance is attached to n
newly invented mortar which plays
havoc In the German trenches. Air
craft arc taking an important role in
the operations.

BUYS CAR LOAD
MAURY FINE HOGS
AN ALABAMA DEALER SECURES
ABOUT SIXTY CHOICE HEAD
OF DUROCS.

Maury county's Duroc Jersey hogs
are attracting the attention of South
ern buyers. w. H. King, of Luvergne,
Ala, has been in the county this week
and purchased a car load of registered
Duroc Jersey hogs from the different
farmers who are engaged in breeding
them. The major portion came from
the splendid herd of j B. Farmer at
Wilkes Place, Culleoka. Mr.. King
went to see Mr.. Farmers herd Tues
day and purchased from him twenty
four fine gifts, practically buying
every hog that Mr.. Farmer had for the
market at this time. While the pur'
chase price was not made public, 1t Is
known that he paid good considerar
ton. Several of the gifts had been
bred to the halfton herd boar, DIS
Forecaster. Several herd were pur-
chased from Miles Murphy, others
from Keen & Sons, Of Highland Stock
Farm, splendid ones from H. A. MooFS
and others.

QUEER RESULTS
IN MAURY'S VOTE
MANY WENT TO THE POLLS WHO
DID NOT EXPRESS ANY
CHOICE.

According to the poll lists in the
recent election in Maury county there
were 1892 votes cast, the smallest
vote in November election in the
county in eight years. More voters
expressed a preference for president
than for any other office, but the total
cast for that office was only 1926.
There were 466 voters who had no
choice for president. Only 1850 voted
for United States senator. There
were, however, 2,715 who voted for
governor, nearly 200 more than voted
for senator, although it was the first
direct election ever held for United
States senator and one would have
thought the novelty of such an cleo
ton would have been attractive. More
voted for representative in congress
than senator, 1857 voting in Padgett's
race. Only 1891 voted for railroad
commissioner, there being no less than
1,401 voters who went to the polls and
did not have a choice for this office.
Although Enloe had plurality of LOO
in the county and a majority over both
his opponents of over 1000, he actual
ly lacked nearly 200 of getting a ma
jority OF the votes cast.
Only 2,0S5 voted for state senator,
over 1900 voters declining to express
a choice for this office. The combined
vote of the highest democrat for rep
resentative and his oppent was only
2,619, showing that there were over
700 voters in the county who did not
even express a choice for local Of.

HOW TO AVOID DELAY
IND DAMAGE SENDING
PARCEL POST MATT R
SOME SUGGESTIONS MADE BY
THE LOCAL POST OFFICE TO
THE PATRONS.
WILL SAVE LOTS OF TROUBLE
FRAGILE And Perishabe Packages
Should be so Labelled to Insure
Safe and Prompt DeIvery-Wrap-
ping up Packages.

Attention is called by the local pos
office to certain rules and precautions
which, if observed by patrons, WoulC
greatly facilitate the delivery in good
order Of all Christmas packages. One
of the first considerations is the prep
aration and wrapping of mail matter
1t is important that fourth class OF
parcel post matter should be sc
wrapped or enveloped that the contents
NAV be easily examined by postal Of
ficials. 1t is permissible to enclose
these packages in nailed boxes, pro
vided the same can be easily opened
by the postal officials.
In Wropping all matter should be
80 secured as to bear transmission
without breaking or injury to mail
bags. their contents or the persons
handling them. Many articles are
damaged in the mails for the sole
reason that they are not properly
wrapped. Parcels not sufficiently
wrapped will not be accepted. I'm
brellas, canes, ETC., and similar articles
must be reinforced by strips of wood
or otherwise sufficiently wrapped to
withstand handling and transportation.
Cut flowers should be enclosed in
strong and suitable boxes.
Fragile articles should be especially
we'll wrapped and should be labelled
Fragile" In this manner they will
be much more likely to go safely
thorugh the mails. The same precau-
ton should be taken with reference to
perishable articles which should be
marked "Perishable." Said article
should also, in order to insure prompt
delivery, be sent by special delivery
stamp.
II these precautions are taken and
the senders Of packages are careful to
place sufficient postage thereon much
of the trouble and delay occasioned
bv failure to send packages promptly
will be avoided.

GOING AFTER The
SHOP LIFTERS
PLAIN CLOTHES MAN USED BY
MERCHANTS DURING HOLL
DAY SHOPPING.

Store thieves, alias kleptomaniacss
alias shop-lifters, etc., usually get
pretty active along about the time the
Christmas shopping season sets In.
and already number of "lifters" have
been apprehended. This Christmas
Chief Tom Mclean and his police viii
be very active and have colaborated
with the merchants to the extent that
they will keep close watch upon the
suspicious characters, and especially
upon those who are known TO be mem
bers of the "Shop-lifters Gang" The
merchants all know them and have
tipped them off to the officers, both
county and city officials and have al
agreed to catch and prosecute every
offender of this law. Last Christmas
plain clothes man was employed by
the merchants to look after this busi-
ness. and never in the history Of the
town has there been so little Of It
done. It is believed that a plafH
clothes man will be used on the ease
this year.

The constable took after him.

condition.


There is only one recommendation
we care to make, and that is that the
county should furnish gloves to the
men who handle the large stones at
the quarry and at the crusher.
"Second-We have investigated the
county Jail and find conditions there
very satisfactory The jail seems
kept in a clean and sanitary way, and
the only Recommendation we care to
make in regard to the Jail is that two
of the doors on the lower floor should
be repaired. These doors need new
hinges, and are necessary to confine
women and carry prisoners.
"Third-We have had a committee
visit the poor farm, and their report
is that conditions there are satisfac-
tory. The inmates, 80 in number,
seem well cared for and we'll fea>

barrels of corn, hay enough to run the
farm, 90 head of hogs, IS head of cat
tie, and wheat enough to run the place.
There are Is acres of land sowed
in wheat, and IL acres in clover. They
have killed 16 hogs this year. The
superintendent expects to plant 40
acres of corn next year, and there
seems to be plenty of farming nipple
ments on the place.
"Fourth-The condition Of the Court
House is satisfactory, and the janitors
are keeping the building clean. We
would recommend that coat and hat
racks be provided for the grand jury
room. or that lockers be installed.
"Fifth-We have examined the coun-
ty officials and the guardians bonds.
We find the county officials bonds all
good and solvent.
"As to the guardians bonds we have
the following recommendations to
make:
1.-THE bond of Mrs. Mary B. Frierson
for SO, 100000 with J. B. Borum, sure
ty, has only one surety. The law re-
quires two, and another should De

dead, and another surety should be
added.

EFFORT FOR FUNDS
FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
BOARD OF TRADE WILL UNDER
TAKE TASK AT MEETING ON
TUESDAY NIGHT.
COLURBIA'S ASSESSMENT UNPAID
So Far Only Contribution From This
County Has Been Made by the Cit
liens of the Nit. Pleasant Section
Organization is Insstent.

Nashville's Commercial Club and
the central organization OF that city,
behind the project to locate the great
government nitrate liant at Muscle
Shoals on the Tennessee river, are in
sistent that Columbia contribute some
thing toward the expenses of the CAM
paign that has been and is being made
to that end.
Maury county was assessed $500 to-
ward the expenses of the campaign at
the organization Of the Muscle Shoals
project in Nashville last summer. OF
that sum Mt. Pleasant has raised and
RENTED 1925 and the organization in
sists that Columbia should take care
of the balance of $275. A number Of
letters have been written here to the
Board of Trade and to other prominent
citizens who are alive to the value of
the project.
At the meeting of the Board Of
Trade on next Tuesday night the mat
ter of raising the fund will again be
presented to the members and some
determined effort will be made to Sc
cure. the deficit. A letter from one Of
the officials Of the organization to a
public-spirited citizen Of Columbia.
says that surely the people here dc
not realize the tremendous value to
them of the location of the plant at
Muscle Shoals, else they would only
too badly contribute the small amount
requested.
