FIRST DRAWN IN
COUNTY OF MAURY
ED LONG WHO HELD MAGIC MUM.
RER Is YOUNG NEGRO,
ANXIOUS TO GO.

Ed Long, who possessed the magic
and honorable number 25S, the first
to be drawn for the selective draft
army of the United States in Maury
county, is a young negro Of the Car
ters Creek section, working on the
farm of Thomas B. Shaw. Mr.. Shaw
stated that the young negro was o:
splendid physique and was anxious to
get into the army. that he had tried
some time ago to enlist, but was not
accepted, because at that time they
were not tai ing negroes, but that
when registration day came he was
among the rst to go. He doubts very
much IL the negro is twenty-one years
of age. but he is so anxious to get
into the army that his wish will be
gratifed and he is sure to 90.

HEAVY RAINS ARE
HELPING THE CORN
PREDICTION is FREELY MADE
THAT MAuRYs YIELD WILL
EXCEED RECORDS.

Long continued rains, it having
aimed every day or night since last
Saturday night, have soaked the
ground in Maury county as it has not
)een since last July, when there was
eighty hours of continuous rainfall
IN the creek bottoms in portions OF
he county, especially on Hurricane
and Fountain creeks, in the Fifth
district, a good deal of damage has
been done the corn by the overfiows
n places the creeks were higher than
they have been since the cyclone OF
March, 1918. But generally corn has
eceived magnificent benefits from
rain and already the optimistic farm.
srs are making the prediction that the
:orn yield of the county this year
will break all former records. The
aims are not proving of any value,
however, at this time to the grain
crops that have not yet been threshed
md some damage will be done to
grain in the shocks unless there is
sunshine soon.
From present indications big
acreage of second crop Irish potatoes
will be planted just as soon as the
ground gets in condition to work.

COURT TAKES CASE
INVOLVING DOG ACT
UNDER ADJUSTMENT /
DECISION NOT EXPECTED FROM
JUDGE MCKNIGHT FOR SEW.
ERAL DAYS.
ABLE ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED
Otherss Indicted For Failure To Reg
ister Animals Will be Governed by
The Decision in the Case of State
Against William Porter Erwin. 4

Judge Mcknight of the County
Criminal Court, at the conclusion OF
the argument on the constitutionality
of the dog law of 1907, took the case
under advisement and will not render
decision for several days probaly.
The argument of counsel was con-
cluded on Thursday afternoon when
William J. Webster, Sr., finished his
speech attacking the validity of the
act. Mr.. Webster argued at length
he several grounds that were al
eyed in the motion to quash the in
dictment. Mr.. Webster made a very
able argument.
The state was ably represented by
William S. Fleming, acting county at
torney. Mr.. Fleming stoutly insisted
upon the right of the legislature to
'egulate the dog menace and quoted
from many authorities to sustain the
contention.
At the conclusion of the argument
Judge Mcknight stated that he would
take the case under adyisement. II
is probable that Judge Mcknight will
in view of the importance Of the case,
ender written opinion. It is q
foregone conclusion, that regardless
Of the decision of Judge Mcknight
the case will go to the supreme court
there to be finally deciedd.
Only one case was heard by the
court, the others for similar offense
being governed by the decision in the
case argued, that of State VS.. William
Porter Erwin. n

tep. of the County.

Scenes about the Office of The Her.
aid and on the streets of Columbia
from noon on Friday until night bore
very strong resemblance to the day
of a heated election, so keen was the
interest in the registration for mill
tary service. Not only were the peo-
pie in the city interested as shown
by the crowds both of those within
md those above the registration ages,
but the people in the country were
Just as keen to know and both tele-
phonss were busy asking for informa-
tion.
1t was physical impossibility to
give this information off hand The
Herald ordered the first 500 numbers
sent it by wire, estimating that about
200 of that number would be includ-
ed in numbers applicable to Maury
county. That estimate proved to be
almost exactly correct. Out of the
500 numbers first drawn 200 were ap-
plicable to this county.
When the numbers came the force
in The Herald Office had first to elm
mate all over 1925, since no number
in Maury county is above that figure
and consequently the county had no
interest in any number above that.
Then the list of registered persons
had to be gone over and the name
matched with the number. With the
limited force of The Herald it was
difficult to assemble the names and
numbers and give the information at
once.
Only three or four errors were
made by The Herald in its list OF five
hundred numbers, something over
two hundred of which applied to-
Maury county, a remarkable fact COM
sidering the hurry and work neces-
sary.
AS stated, every number was drawn,
the first drawn, however, being the
first to be summoned to service.
Troubles never came singly. Proba-
bly, the heaviest day that The Herald
has had since the presidential elec-
tion was signalized by the complete
breaking down of the Columbia Water
& Light company's power, from which
all of the papers machinery is run.
This was due to the big explosion the
night before. This made it necessary
for the paper to rig up its old gaso-
line engine, out of commission these
many years.
The typesetting machine Of the pa
per usually begins promptly at z
O'Clock in the morning. 1t did not
start Friday until nearly 10 o'clock
and necessarily the paper was late
md some of the mails were missed.
These were delays that were unavoid-
able and due to no fault of the paper,
or for that matter of the Water and
Light company, as its accident is one
that is likely to occur in the best reg
llated plant in the world.

ONf-Y|NETy-THREE
NUMBER that MAURY
Unjust GIVE NATION
,uI gE TAKEN FROM THE FIRST
LISTS THAT ARE PUBLISHED
IN TIE HERALD.
FIRST DRAWN FIRST TO S RIVE.
Estimated That 400 Names VIII Be
Sufficient to Furnish county's Quota
Ard others Drawn viii Not be I,
Called Until the Next Draft.

Ma1ry county will be called ON to
furnish 1913 men for the first draft OF
the national army of the United
States. The figures for all OF the
counties were announced from the
governors office on Friday night.
The county has been given credit
for all of enlistments in both the reg
uIar army and the volunteer forces
made prior to July 1.
There are two counties in the state
that will not be required to furnish q
single man for the draft, both being
mountain counties. One of them is
Cumberland and the other is Carter.
The former is on top of the Cumber-
land mountains and the latter is far
I'D in the corner Of East Tennessee.
However, there are counties, notably
Rutherford, with a smaller population
than Maury, that must furnish more
soldiers not having as many in the
volunteer forces of the country. y
The men from this county will be
taken from the first list drawn. As
suming that every man published in
The Herald yesterday to be qualified
for service, that is not being exempt
for physical reasons or for having
depenednts, no others will be called
at this time from Maury county. But
where one of the 1913 first drawn is
disqualified or excused for any reas-
on the next number drawn will be
the next to be called.
So far Maury county gets about 200
numbers out Of thousand that are
drawn at Washington. It is calcul.t-
ed that 400 names will furnish 200
men, or the county's quota, SO that
the men whose names we're published
yesterday and the next two hundred
whose names are published today,
will likely be all that will be sum-
moned before the local exemption
board at this time The others will
not be called in all probability until
after another draft has been made by
President Wilson for the second incre-
ment of 100000 men for the national
army.
All of those first drawn in the coun-
ty will be duly notified to appear on
a certain date before the local exemp-
ton board, when they must file any
claim they may want to make for
exemption.
Every claim must be supported by
sworn proof and there are the most
severe penalties for any false state
ment that may be made. The next
step in the organization Of the army
will he the sumoning of the men be-
fore the boards. Just how soon this
will take place is not known for the
local board canont take any further
action until the official numbers are
received from Washington

lFrom Fridays Daily.l


United States were drawn at Wash
ngton today. SO many changes were
made in the plan at the last moment
that it is extremely difficult for tbs
uninitiated to understand just how
he drafted men will come.
According to The Herald's report,
the numbers that are hereafter given
were in the list of the first five hun
ired that were drawn. Under the
last plan provided for the drawing
every number in the United States
will be drawn, those first drawn being
1rst drafted for army service.
Appreciating the fact that in Maury
county not more than 250 men would
be inclnded in the first draft, only the
first numbers that were drawn were
secured by The Herald. While, as
stated, all of those registered in the
county, the 1926 will be drawn, those
names came first will be those who
are first cps the roll of honor, SO that
the numbers and names hereafter pub
lisehd, are the first in the list from
this county.
OF course many of those whose
names are published will be exempt,
but proof to that effect must be made
before the local board, of which VIM.
P. Ridley is chairman, before they
are discharged from the list.
