ASSESS DAMAGE
CAUSED BY HOGS
ScRiBNER WINS HIS SUIT
AGAINST MRS LULA
HARMON.

In the case of Lewis Scribner VS..
Lula Harmon, for alleged damages
done to, garden of the complainant
Scribner by the hogs Of the complain
ant, Squire Alexander rendered ver-
dict today in favor of the complain
ant, and assessed damages in the
sum Of $3.50 and costs, the total
amounting to $20.10.
The hogs of the defendant had
been attached to secure the damages
and the costs in the case.
The case of Lula Harmon and Min
ME Grubbs against Lewis Scribner,
for peace proceeding, set for hearing
this afternoon at two O'Clock has
been postponed until Friday after
noon at two O'Clock The case is
attracting considerable attention
among the people living in the sec.
ton of the town from whence the
litigants come. There have been
eighteen witnesses summoned by
the two women, and it is possible
that Scribner will have several
witnesses. 1t will require the great.

who do not travel these pixies.
1t is not a question of what the
pixies cost the owners. That should
not be the basis of a purchase price.
Had 1t been the county paid far too
much for the pixies that 1t purchased
a year ago. These purchases should
be made on the higher and broader
ground of sound public policy and JUS
tice to the people Of the sections espe
cially affected. The condition OF the
roads. the earning power, the neces'
sity for their purchase and the good
to be done the public, these should be
the prime considerations in making
the purchase.
It is to be hoped that the county
court when it convenes again in DC
tober will take the time to give due
and proper consideration to the buy
ing of thees pixies. that equal justice
may be done all Of the citizens. The
rights of the comparatively few should
be as zealously guarded as are those
of the many. This is the very es-
sence. Of a democracy. The Herald
believes in and has confidence in the
sense Of fairness and Justice OF the
members of the county court and 1t
assures the people Of the sections who
are complaining of the injustice done
them that the court will do its part to
meet the issue as it should be met.

SHEEP VS.. DOGS.

That was an interesting and hum
mating story that appeared IN Inc
Herald a few days ago showing the
profits that hustling Maury county
farmer made this year from sheep.
He made the salary of the prosecut-
ing attorney in few months ana WIN
a small outlay of capital. Tnere
onght to be a hundred sheep in Maury
county where there is one now. They
are the greatest source Of wealth Ior
the capital invested on any animal
that can be placed ON the farm. Tpey
provide both food and clothing Tor
mankind. They are relatively free
from disease. In ordinary winters
thew can be carried through IN TINS
county without feed. They are very
little trouble. Expensive fences are
not required to keep them up. They
are docile and gentle. They are al
wavs in demand for food and raiment
There is but one menace to the
sheep and that is the dog. The rear
of the dog is ever present with the
sheep owner. A few NANCY ours, az
solutely worthless, Incapable OF pro
ducing a dollar Of wealth for the coun
try. will destroy in the dark hours o.
one night the accumulations OF years
and the profits Of a splendid industry
If there we're fewer dogs, II the farm
ers had more confidence in their abii

IN MAURY COUNTY
ONLY A FEW HUNDRED YARDS
FROM THE LEWIS CoUN-
TY LINE.
MUCH LIQUOR is CAPTURED
Deputy Sheriff Blackburn And Con-
stable Burns Make Discovery, But
Fail to Locate the Owners Of The
outfit-Of Large Capacity.

In a deep ravine, well protected
from the vulgar gaze OF an over
inquisitive public, just across the
Maury county line from Lewis county
and on the property of the Tennessee
Cooperage company, in rather wild
and remote section, Deputy Sherif1
Blackburn and Constable Burns. OF
Mt Pleasant, on Tuesday afternoon
captured complete liquor distilling
outfit, including about eighty-five gal.
Ions of beer and a lot OF mash not
yet ready to be distilled into some
thing Of more fiery nature.
The capture was made ON Tuesday
afternoon, the officers having informa'
ton that led them to believe that at
that hour they would find the still in
operation and would be enabled to
take into custody the operators. But
In this they were disappointed, the
owners were nowhere to be found and
the officers had to content themselves
with the capture and destruction Of
the plant. The distillery had daily
capacity Of about sixty gallons and
the officers stated that 1t gave every
evidence of having been in operation
for some time.
The plant was complete, the copper
worm. the kettle, the furnace, the tubs
of malt, the beer or simlins all being
there. No run" had been made re-
Gently, but there was every evidence
of preparations for making one at an
early date. The beer and other PRO
duce" of the plant were promptly de
stroyed and the distillery and com.
plete outfit loaded into wagons and
brought to Mt. Pleasant, where, under
the orders Of Sheriff Griffin, it will be
completely demolished. The search
of the owners will not stop, but at
this time the officers have very little
clew.
Constable Burns said that bette,
location in all this part of the stats.
could not have been found to conceal
liquor joint; that it was in wfld
and deep ravine, where in the ordi-
nary course there would never be any
prying travellers and probably people
had passed time and again within 6
few hundred yards of the plant with
out ever having suspected its pres
ence.

DUTY TO SPEAK OUT.

Due to their intimate ana HrsI-nano
Acquaintance with the national prop
lens and the country's crisis, the
Jackson Sun very properly urges that
the members of the Tennessee delega-
ton issue an address to the people OF
the state advising them as to the
proper course to follow in the consti-
tutional convention next week. the
SUGGESTION is one of merit and weight.
The members Of our congressional
delegation, by reason Of their init
mate touch with the national and the
international situation are specially
qualified to advise the people on this
great issue. They know just what the
nation is going to demand of its c1ti'
Gems. They realize and appreciate a.
those who are so far from the scenes
of the country's greatest activities
cannot, just the seriousness OF the In
ternational crisis. They have duty
to perform that they should not shirk.
The members Of the delegation from
the state cannot hide behind the
claim that they should not interfere
in state affairs. They are just as
much citizens OF Tennessee as those
who are in private life. Their duty to
counsel and to aid in the settlement OF
governmental questions is much great
err and more imperative than that
which rests upon the people in the
humber walks of life. They have
power and position and those bring
with them responsibility and they
cannot afford to shirk this response
bility.
II the members Of the delegation
from Tennessee feel that the oppo-
nents of the convention in their state
have magnified undMy. the serious
ness of the International crisis they
should be brave enough to say So
On the other hand, if they think that
the holding of constitutional conven-
ton would in no way aid in the liberia
ton of the world and the triumph OF
the free peoples Of earth they should
tell the folks so. Members OF con-
gress should at least possess moral
courage equal to the physical courage
that the sons of America have been
summoned to show upon the blood
soaked plains of battle SCARED Eu-
rope. This is not a time for ducking
or lodging issues having to do with
the nations life and death struggle.

spectabiltty; for instance, bricks. There's

There's sewer gas intricately woven in its

These and many other homcly truths
about what can and cannot be done with the
city backyard are pointed out by Mrs Jean
kane Foulke. farm adviser of homes for
the state Department of Agriculture. Mrs
Foulke emphasizes the fact that she does
not IN any sense mean to discourage truck
gardening. Being particularly in the busi-
ness or making things grow. she wishes to
encourage IT. but at the same time she
points out "a hysteria" to be guarded
against on the part of the tenement dweller
Here is the situation as summed up by
Mrs. Foulke:
Il am for the vacant lot garden every
minute of the day. Every man or woman
who is In possession of an unused plot of
ground should cooperate with the city
plan and volunteer land for gardening
purposes. l am strongly in favor of back
yards being cultivated. with such growth as

at her back door.
