HIGHEST SUMMER
PRICES FOR HOGS
HAVE ATTAINED THE BEST VAL.
UES EVER KNOWN FOR
TIME OF YEAR.

Houston Thomas, of Nashville, is
here to spend several days with rela-
tives and friends. Mr.. Thomas is
manager of the stock yards Of Nash
vile and said today that he had never
known such fine summer market for
hogs as there had been this year.
Hogs have sold higher during the
summer" said Mr. Thomas, than ever
before in my experience. I have
known a higher market, but not at
this time of the year. Ten cent hogs
have been mighty rare in my expert
ence. | remember very well the high
est price at which ever sold them. 1t
was on March 6, 1910, that sold them
for $11.35 per hundred pounds, which
is the record, for the market reached
the summit on that day and few
days later went down below the eleven
cent mark. I recall that during this
time / bought two cars from feeder
down at White Bluff that brought him
over $4,000. And he did not sell at
the summit of the market either. How
ever, feeder cannot complain this
year and they have been taking advan-
tage Of the high prices for even in the
hottest weather we have had runs Of
500 to thousand a day"

BIG RALLY WILL BE HELD ON
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 IN

GOV. RYE TO B. INVITED
Other Prominent Speakers Will Be
Heard and Occasion Made one Of the
Most Memorable in That Section of
County.

There will be big school rally and
barbecue at Enterprise in the Sixth
district on Friday, September 8 when
it is planned to have one of the largest
crowds and biggest affairs known in
that section of the county. A number
of the prominent citizens of the coun-
ty and state will be invited and not
able program is being arranged An
effort will be made to have Gov. Tom
c. Rye among the speakers. Thomas
Y. English, member of the county
court from that section, and one of
the Invest wires in the county, is TAX
Ing an active interest in the event
which insures its success.
No section of the county has made
greater progress in recent years than
Enterprise. Only year ago the best
rural school building in the county
was dedicated with appropriate exer-
cises and in the presence Of a large
crowd. This school was made posi-
BILE by the liberality of the citizens of
that section who contributed much in
money, in time and in labor for its
building. The school took the place
of others that were abolished
The success of the school in another
conclusive argument for consolidation,
the enrolment It's, during the past
session, being largely more than the
combined enrolment of the schools
that were abolished. While at first as
is always, the case where school con-
solidation takes places, there was
some objection, the whole people are
now satisfied and determined to make
the coming term an even better one
than that Of last session.

The above figures show the COM
plete official vote of Maury county as
finally certified by the commissioners
Of election late Monday afternoon
when the long looked for box from
Spring Hill had reached the city. This
box was necessary to decide who had
been elected for member of the coun-
ty board Of education in the Second
division and when it was received that
matter was quickly settled and the
commissioners issued the certificate
to Edward D. Hunter
To J. Walter Griffin, one of the
most efficient and energetic sheriffs
the county has ever known, goes the
honor of leading the ticket. Less than
600 voters who expressed choice for
tax assessor in hotly contested cleo
ton failed to mark their ballots for
the sheriff. John W. Addison, for
trustee, was only about 100 votes be-
hind.
Constitutional convention carried
Maury county by 351 votes. No cleo
ton returns on this question were re-
ceived from Sandy Hook. The con-
vention received S7S votes against 527.
Only half of those who voted for tax
assessor expressed any opinion as to
the merits of changing the fundamen-
tai law of the state. The proposition
received some hard knocks north of
the river, but generally got splendid
majority in the southern section of
the county.
The labors of the election board in
sofar as the recent election is con-
cerned, were finished shortly after 5
o'clock Monday when the returns in
the constitutional convention were
certified to the secretary of state.

Illustrating the feeling of people in
other counties toward the toll-gate, is
an extract from a letter from one of
the largest farmers of an adjoining
county to Anderson Bros. & Foster
This farmer says that he is coming to
Columbia with his family as "soon as
they get those polls from across the
roads" This is pretty strong evidence
that the folks whom one would attract
to the county regard the toll-gate, or
pole across the road as an impediment

SOME ADVICE.
STANDS BY The RECORD MADE
lJrues The Board OF Education TO
Continue it's Wise Policy of Schoo'
consolidation--Ratherb be Right ana
Be Defeated.

At the meeting of the county board
of education on Monday, Robert N.
Moore chairman, and nestor OF the
board. having served longer upon 1t
than any of his colleagues, delivered
his valedictory, having been defeated
for reelection. Mr.. Moore thanked
the other members Of the board for
the splendid cooperation which they
had given. He spoke Of the six years
that he had served upon the board, OF
the advancement and the progress
that had been made during that time
by the schools of Maury county. He
said that during his entire service
upon the board he had never been
moved by any consideration save
desire to advance the cause of popular
education in Maury county.
Mr.. Moore declared that he had Civ.
en- to the county and to the cause OF
education the very pest service that
was in him: that he had been guided
alone by an earnest desire that the
school interests should advance; that
in all things he had been progressive.
He said that he had long ago arrived
at the conclusion that the day of the
one room, one teacher school in every
little neighborhood should give way
to the larger and better equipped and
better taught school; that he had act
ed always with an eye single to attain
ing this end in Maury county. He had
favored a policy that would give as
nearly as possible, to every boy and
girl in the county equal educational
facilities.
Mr.. Moore said that he had been
defeated, but that in defeat he had the
consolation of knowing that all the
times he had acted unselfishly for the
interests of the schools and in ad-
vocacy of policy that would rebound
to the good of the schools. Il had
rather be defeated and know that I
was right and that had acted always
for the best interests of the schools
than to have been elected at the sac
rifice of single principle for which
have stood these six years.
Nov in conclusion said Mr. Moore,
"let me urge you to pursue the splen-
did policy which you have followed
during the six years l have served on
this board. Do not permit any kind
Of reactionary or retrograde move
ment. l would counsel with you to
continue especially your policy of con-
sentative consolidation. Do not return
to the little one room, one teacher
school wherever you can give the boys
and girl of the county the opportuni-
ty for something better. I have conf
dence that this board will do this;
] that we have gone too far in Maury
county on the highway of educational
progress to permit the growth Of
reactionary policy. I thank you again
and wish for the schools all possible
prosperity and for you, gentlemen per-
sonal success"

its characters. The shepherd is a
most impressive figure, mentally
and physically. The young woman
who is the heroine of the story is
untrammelled by the conventions of
the town and has good red blood in
her veins. With the aid of the shep-
herd she polishes her mind so that
she become a young woman of cul-
ture and refinement. Then there is
the young mountaineer, whose love
is honest and sincere and who downs
the champion bully and strong man
of the mountains in marvellous
contest of strength and endurance.
Then there is the uncanny youth,
who wonders like a will-o'- o'-the-whip
across the mountains and is the
means of finally bringing happiness
to the shepherd and restoring the
good name of the mountaineer's
family.
There is much atmosphere" of
the hills pervading the play. And in
making the production, Messrs. Gas
kill and MacVitty, the producers, it
is said, have supplied some beautiful
and realistic stage pictures.

The Shepherd Of the Hills
AT EVANCELINE THEATRE
Next Sunday, November 18th

The success Of Harold Bell
Wright's novel, "The Shepherd of
the Hills" made into a play by its
author in collaboration with Els
berry w. Reynolds has proven just as
big on the stage last year as, in book
form, it does in the book stores.
The story Of the play is based on
a somewhat dramatic plot Of mys-
terry. An unknown comes into the
Ozark mountains and because of his
clerical bearing and readiness to
officiate for the regular pastor of
the mountaineers, a portion Of his
disguise is penetrated The noun
taineers who live so much to them
selves are willing to let the man live

the life of a partial recluse. He
makes friends with one family and
volunteers for the place of shepherd.
In this disguise he attempts to ex-
plate the wrong-doing of his son,
who several years previously had
come into the mountains and wrong
ed one Of the young women. Her
father has vowed deadly vengeance
on the betrayer of his daughter, but
he has disappeared, leaving no traces
of his whereabouts. 1t is generally
supposed that he is dead. The good
shepherd wins the love and respect
of the mountaineers who suspect he
is revenue officer.
There are many drastic episodes
in the play, but its strength lies in
the unfolding and development Of

CALCASIEU ENDORSES
$250,000 SPECIAL TAX

Lake Charles, La, Nov. 6.-The
proposal to vote a special tax yield
ing S25O,0O0 for the immediate
deepening OF the Calcasieu-Sabine
section of the intercoastal canal was
unanimously endorsed tonight by a
large mass meeting here. Close to
six hundred tax payers were present,
and every big interest in the parish
was represented. In case Congress
reimburses the parish for the money
spent deepening the canal to twelve
feet, the money will be used for fur
ther work on the canal, with view
of getting an ultimate depth of
twenty-six feet and deep water for
Lake Charles.
Charles E. Going, of the Clooney
Construction Company, was the
chief speaker at the meeting. He
told of the growth Of the Clooney
Ship Yards, which now employ more
than 800 men, and said that with
deep water the plant could employ
three or four times this number. Un-
less the canal is deepened to twelve
feet at once the ship yards must
move. Since the first of the year, he
asserted the concern had been given
the opportunity to bid on contracts
agregating $6,O00,0O0 and could
have obtained the contracts if the
Intercoastal canal had not been too
shallow to send out the finished pro-
ducts.
The fact also was disclosed that
the Union Sulphur Company had
made extensive preparations to ship
sulphur through the canal, but the
depth is not great enough at present
to accommodate much Of the tonnage.
The company produces each year
several hundred thousand tons Of
sulphur.
D. L. Caffery said Lake Charles
enjoyed low freight rates which
would be abolished by the State
Railroad Commission in the near
future. The only way to retain these
rates., he exclaimed, was to deepen
the Intercoastal canal. E E. Gibson,
agent for the Iron Mountain Rail-
road, said his company was ready
and anxious to see deep water at
Lake Charles, the Southern terminus
of the Missouri Pacific system. Talks
along similar lines were made by R.
