the last few days a definite attempt has been
made by the Germans to impress neutrals

MORE BUYERS N EAST,
SAYS JUN I. WOOTEN
THAN He HAS KNOWN
BUYER FOR MAURY DRY GOODS
COMPANY TALKS OF HIS
VISIT THERE.
BUSINESS Is VERY LIVELY
Practically Impossible Now To Get
Any Imported Goods and Women
Must Dress In American Made
Fabrics This Season.

John T. Wooten, the buyer for the
Maury Dry Goods Co., has returned
from New York, where he has been
for the past month buying new spring
and summer goods for his store.
Mr. Wooten reports conditions in
New York, as being far different from
anything he has seen in the great city
since he has been going to market.
He says there are more people in New
York than was ever known to be at
this season Of the year and that trav'
elers have strenuous times getting
places to sleep. It is nothing uncom.
mon to see people walking the streets
with grips in hand looking for rooms
The hotels and restaurants are crowd
ed from night till mornig and from
morning till night.
People that have been in the habit
Of going to Europe for the winter
season, are marooned In New York
and these together with the large
throngs of buyers from other towns
have filled the great market center to
overlooking.
In speaking of conditions In regard
to goods, Mr. Wooten said that there
had been terrific advance in all
lines, The time of the ten cent ging
ham is fast passing. China and jar
mattings are practically off the mar
ket. White kid and tan shoes have
advanced about one dollar on the pair
and silks are the scarcest thing imag
Unable, and in fact, so says Mr., Woot
en- it is almost impossible to get i'm
ported goods.
American women will have to be
satisfied with American made goods
and will also have to be satisfied
with the colorings that can be sup
piled by the American mills
In speaking of the financial condi
tons, Mr.. Wooten stated that it looked
good, but that it looked like the mer
chants in the smaller towns we're buy
ing too heavily-buying like they new
er expected to have an opportunity to
get another chance and as if the mills
would never run again.
Silks are very popular this season
for dresses, as are also the light
flimsy mulls, and in fact, all scarce
goods are popular, said Mr.. Wooten
In speaking of the styles, he said
there had not been any vast changes
but that the dresses were beautiful
and attractive as was also the MILL
merry.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF, STATE
VISITS COLUMBIA BETWEEN
TRAINS.
DISCUSSES I'll, EXTRA SESSION
Says That He Expects To Issue The
Call for the Extra Session of the
Legislature by Monday at the Latest
Many Pledges of Support.

Gov. Tom C. Rye was q visitor in
Columbia for short time on Friday
afternoon, coming down from Nash
vile for the purpose of appearing as
a witness before Judge Mcknight of
the County Court in the matter of
the probate of the will Of the late
Miss Julia Baird, who served in the
pension department Of the United
States government at Washington
twenty years ago.
Gov. Rye was met at the Hampshire
station by Hon. o. c. Dortch, Judge
Jno. W. Frye and Dol. w. C. Whit
thorne and taken at once to the Court
louise, where he gave his evidence in
the probate of the will. At the same
time the will was executed in 1896,
Gov. Rye was chief of a division of
The pension bureau of the government
and Miss Baird was clerk in the bu-
reau. The other witnesses were also
in the pension bureau, but all are out
side of the jurisdiction of this state
at this time
At the conclusion of Gov. Rye's
testimony, a representative of The
Herald present, addressing the court,
asked permission to PROFOUND one
question to the governor. The court
assented and the reported asked:
Nov, Governor, when are you going
to call that extra session of the legis-
lature
Just as soon as get to it," prompt
iy responded the governor. In other
words" he continued, "as soon as l
hear the report of the probe commit
tee on Attorney General Estes. ex-
pect this at the latest by next Mon
day. Then the call will be promptly
issued"
After concluding his business at the
Court House, Gov. Rye went to The
Herald office, where he remained I'M
til time to catch the $40 train. Dur
ing his brief stay here the governor
met a number Of friends, many of
whom told him that they were for
him for reelection and declared that
so far as Maury county was concerned
he would have not the slightest op-
position.
Gov Rye did not discuss his can
didacy for reelection, except to ex-
press appreciation Of the very cor.
dial assurances of support which he
received here.
While here, Gov. Rye paid very
high tribute to the late Miss Baird,
both as a woman and as an employe
of the government He said he had
never known any woman of more
| splendid character or higher sense
Of duty.

PROBABLY FIRST CAR
LOAD Of LAMBS GOtS
FROM HERE To MAKE
HAGEY & SON SHIP 265 YEARLlNGs
TO ST. LOUIS THAT AVERAGE
rs POUNDS.
LOAD WORTH NOR THAN $500
Two Cove Sent To The Market That
Weigh 3,005 and Said to be az Fine
AZ Ever Went Through Local Stock
Yards-5ig Demand for Lambs.

Probably the first car load of lambs
to be shipped from this section was
shipped this week by Hagey & Son
the we'll known stock dealers, who
sent car load of yearlings to St
Louis. The lambs averaged about
seventy-five pounds each and cost
Hagey & Son eight cents. This made
the average lamb worth Sc. There
we're 265 in the load, making its value
over $1,000 These lambs made the
owners good money.
Messrs. Hagey also shipped cal
load of steers to Louisville and in the
lot were two fancy cows, the weight
Of which aggregated 1905 pounds
They were short horns and many pro
nounced them as fine cows as ever
passed through the stock yards.
The lamb crop of the county will
be less this year than it has been in
several years, but the growers will gel
more money for them than they have
ever received Already lambs have
been contracted for delivery in June
at nine cents. This is probably the
highest price paid in a generation al
that time 1t has been paid for Easter
lambs, but generally eight cents i:
the outside top In June.

CASES disposed
OF IN CIRCUIT COURT
SUIT OF WARE vs.. LADD Il
DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE
DEFENDANT.

Two very interesting cases were
brought to a close In the Circuit Court
Friday afternoon
The case of Warf VS.. Ladd, in re.
gard to a note made in favor of Wari
and secured by G. C. Ladd, was decid-
ed in favor Of the defendant.
In the habeas corpus case Of Robert
Webb, the negro who was indicted fos
selling whisky at Williamsport, Judge
Turner decided in favor of the State
and the negro was again turned over
to the sheriff
The attorneys for the negro made
the plea that he was indicted before
he was 16 years of age, but that the
sentence was delayed on account of
his stepfather being on the county
road at that particular time. The
State claimed that the negro was
over 16 years Of age at the time that
he was to serve his sentence, and
asked justice on those grounds.

GIBSON COUNTY IS
EARNEST ; ADVOCATE
GIRLS SCHOOL HERE
COUNTY JUDGE GIVES STRONG
ENDORSEMENT TO MAURY's
CLAIMS.
LEWIS COUNTY is ALSO IN Line
Much Encouragement 10 Given To Tho
FIoht That People Here are Making
For the state institution by Neigh
boring Counties.

Probably the strongest endorsement
OF Maury county's fight for the Girls
Vocational school that has yet been
obtained came this morning when the
Judge of the County Court Of Gibson
county, wrote to Judge ]. T. Mcknight
that he thought Maury county was the
logical site for the institution. He
enclosed a very strong letter, which
he had written to Gov. Rye in the
interest of this county. He said that
no county in West Tennessee was
making fight for the school, that 1t
would be much better for all of West
Tennessee to have the school cen
trally located, while to locate it in
Bradley county in far away East Ten
nessee would add very much to the
cost of sending the girls from the
western section Judge Mcknight
very properly esteems the letter as
one of the best that he has yet Sc
cured.
Another neighbor of Maury county
also sent a flattering endorsement
That is the county of Lewis on the
west. The county judge enclosed
4. -. L - taV
to the board of trustees strongly urg
ing the claims of Maury county. Judge
Mcknight is exceedingly gratified al
the manner in which his associate
judges of the state are coming to the
aid of Maury county.
Gibson county is fifth in population
in the state.

clerk of Giles county, and DR.. Beasley

clerk Of Giles county, and Dr. Beasley.
Of Hickman county, brother of Chair.
man Beasley, were endorsed.
This was substantially the agree
ment reached among the leaders at
the morning conference. The fight
for the endorsement of Sanders and
Hooper for delegates at large and
against Sells and Austin was led I'm
the county by John w. Jackson, for
mer postmaster, but he had with him
such astute republicans as Chairman
John B. Brooks, Of the county repub-
lican committee and Thos. H. Taylor,
of the Second district, former member
OF the county road board. When the
opposition to the Sanders program
saw that they were outnumbered they
yielded gracefully in the interest OF
party harmony.
A feature Of the platform agreed
upon by the leaders was a ringing
endorsement of Hooper's administers
ton and declaration that no back
ward step be taken upon law enforce
ment or prohibition The platform
also declared in favor of control by
state legislation of corrupt state and
city officials. The republicans re-
joiced that democratic corruption in
the large cities had been exposed.

FIRST LIVE MODEL
DISPLAY lSSUCCESS
HIGH TRIBUTE is PAID VALUE OF
HERALDs ADVERTISING
COLUMNS.

Yes, the corset demonstration on
Friday afternoon was great success
and beyond our expectations" declared
Edward P. Turner of the Maury Dry
Goods company this morning, speak
ing of the first demonstration ever
held in the city probably with live
models. Mile Boyer was exceedingly
gratified and rather surprised at the
big crowd that came, particularly in
view Of the short notice given. How
ever, have found that il you want
the people Of Columbia or Maury
county to know anything, all you have
to do is to print it in The Herald.
This demonstration was additional
proof of the value Of The Herald as
an advertising medium, fact, how
ever, that we have recognized and
appreciated for many years"

TWO LARGE HOTELS
TO Be BUILT SOON At
PASS CHRISTIAN.
Structures to Be of Brick,
And Work of Building to
Be In Progress This Sum-
mer-Gulfport Centennial
Gives Hotel Business I'm
petus-Other Notes.

The construction of two large hotels
for Pass Christian this summer is now a
certainty, according to a press telegram
this week from that point of the sea-
coast to the daily press. Both will be
built of brick and equipped with all
modern conveniences. Plans for both
have been completed. The ground sur
vey of the new hotel to take the place
of the Magnolia Hotel, destroyed last
spring by.fire, has been made, and on
that site handsome structure will soon
be erected by j. M. McGlathery and
Sons.
On the old Fleitas lot, at the corner
of Fleitas avenue and Front street, the
other hotel will be built by company
of New Orleans capitalist, including
the Jahncke brothers, John Legier, DR..
George A. MacDairmid, Aschaffenberg
and several other prominent business
men of that city. This hotel will con-
tain about one hundred rooms, and the
work of construction will be started be-
fore June /. The structure will be one
of the most attractive and artistic from
an architectural view on the coast.
There is also report of still another
hotel for Pass Christian, to be erected
up in the fashionable East End district
on one of the most attractive lots fac
ing the beach. The name of very
wealthy Northern woman, who owns a
beach villa at the Pass, is connected
with the project, and with her are said
to be associated number of prominent
Chicago capitalists.
/ The holding of the Mississippi Cen
tennial Exposition at Gulfport next

impetus that will be felt all along the
Mississippi Coart.

for ruling from the court as to wheth-
er supersedias was necessary to keep
the children out until the Supreme
Court passed On the matter. The court
promptly ruled that the children could
not go to school until the Suprem e
Court had rendered its decision.
In his opinion, Judge Neville advised
that an appeal be taken as he had Sc
rious doubts as to his ruling and it was
question that the Supreme Court
should pass upon.
The initiative has already been taken
to carry the case to the court of last
resort.
While we confess that we are igno-
rant as to laws and rules yet if we are TO
be governed by lexicons we are forced
to believe that the contention of defen-
dant was correct. If anyone will take
the trouble to look in a dictionary he
will there find that octoroon is defined
as person with 1-8 colored blood and
10 WING DiuUu, uCSCsIludEtO Ol d Qudu-
room and white person. A quadroon
is defined as a persons with Ia white
and 3-4 colored blood, descendant of
mulatto and white person. A mu-
iatto is person with f-2 white and I-2
colored, a descendant OF negro and a
white person.
Assuming tie starting point, as taken
by the judge, and using the dictionary
as our guide we believe that the defen-
dants had the correct way of guaging
the rule Of dcsce-t. Not being lawyers,
however, we must assume until the court
of final resort speaks that the trial
court was correct.
The public can rest assured that the
supreme Court OF our State will pass on
the question. Ii is to be hoped tnat un-
I'll that time that the matter will be per-
mitted to rest IN abeyance.
