BUYS AN IMMENSE
QUANTITY MANURE
HORACE RAiNEY SECURES, EN-.
TIRE OUTPUT or THE
STOCK YARDS.

Horace Rainey has probably pur.
chased the largest amount of stable
manure that has ever been bought at
one time by a. Maury county farmer.
Mr.. Rainey has contracted for the en-.
tire output Of the Columbia stock
yards. There is an immense amount
of manure in the stables and yards,
roughly estimated to be not less than
5000 wagon loads. At half ton OF
manure to the load, which is small
estimate, this would mean 1,500 tons,
enough to enrich very large body of
land. Mr.. Rainey owns q large num-
Der Of tracts Of land In easy hauling
distance Of the yards. He believes in
intensive cultivation and in order to
get good results appreciates the neces-
city for plenty of manure.

ERECT NEW SCHOOL
HOUSE AT |S0k'S
DECISION OF BOARD
EFFORT TO CONSOLIDATE IN THE
TENTH DISTRICT Is
ABANDONED.
IDEAL LOT HAS BEEN SECURED
viii BE Located About one-quarter OF
Mile From the One Burned and on .
Tract That VIII Contain About Six
Acres Of Land.

At the meeting of the county board
of education on Monday it was unan-
imously decided to rebuild the school
house at Isom, in the Tenth district.
which was recently destroyed by fire.
The board had hoped in some way sat-
isfactory to the patrons Of that sec
ton of the county to consolidate two
or three schools at some convenient
point, but the problems were too great
to work out. It was impossible to
bring the conflicting interests together
in such manner az would lead the
board to the opinion that the consoll,
dation ought to be made in the inter
est of the schools. Several of the
members of the board regretted very
deeply this condition, but took the sit
uation in the best possible spirit.
The proposed school house will
probably be located on an ideal tract
of land about a quarter Of mile from
the old building and will contain about
six acres. 1t will be two or three
room house, the size and cost depend
ing to considerable extent upon the
amount Of funds that are subscribed
by the citizens of that section. The
people Of the Isom community have
already pledged about $500 for the lot
and building and this sum will doubt
less be increased and good three
room builing constructed.
The following committee to cooper
ate with the county superintendent,
was appointed J. v. Delk, Steve
Kirk, William Robinet, w. w. Jones
and DIR. M. A. Beasley.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Evidence to

Destroyer on Patrol Duty
Reaches Port BADLY
Damaged.

Washington, Oct. 1S-On, Oct. Is
an American destroyer on patrol duty
in European waters was struck by
torpedo fired by a German submarine
and badf- damaged. The destroyer
was not sunk and has since arrived
safely in port.
One member of the crew. Osmond
Kelly Ingram; gunners mate, was
killed. and five members OF the crew
wounded, none seriously.
This is the substance Of des-
patch from Vice Admiral w. s. Sims,
commanding the American naval
forces in the war zone, made public
last night by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
It is the FIRST .'hit" made by Ger
man TORPEDO on an American fighting
ship. The circumsta noes of the en-
gagement and the name of the de-
stroyer were not made public.
The extent of the damage to the
destroyer, If known, was not announc-
ed by Mr.. Daniels. The reasonable as
sumption is that Admiral Sims des-
patch contained few details.
That the attacking submarine was
not sunk is accepted as certain from
the fact that the announcement con-
tains no mention OF any damage to 1t
