AND PLANTING GROUNDPEAS

Mr.. D. X. Christie, who passed
through Calhoun and Miller counties
the past week, reports that on many
farms he saw cotton being plowed
up and groundpeas planted instead.

sacrifice their cotton and substitute
another crop.

:ROAD WORKING TO
B. GIN UNDER LAW
IN NEAR FUTURE
MANY CHANGES MADE BY THE
RECENT ACT OF THE
LEGISLATURE,
COMMU1ATI0N PRIZE IS RAISED
Hereafter 1t Will Cost The Hands Fiye-
Instead of Three Dollars UnIess
They Work-Teams Also to bs
Warned for Service,

Road working under the new road
law act OF 1917 will begin in Maury
county at an early date. AS soon as
all the corn has been plowed for the
last time, the oat crop harvested and
threshed it is expected that the over
seers will begin to warn the hands.
The law has been radically changed
In number of respects and it is ex-
pected that much good will result to
the roads in consequence. The COM
mutation for the road hands has been
raised from sixty cents day to 81 a
day for the five days This change,
1t Is believed, will reduce the amount
OF road communication taxes paid into
the county treasury and will corre-
spondingly increase the amount Of la
Dor that the hands will perform on the
highways. The object of the change
was to get more labor.
However. the most radical feature
OF the law is that which requires the
wagons and teams of every one to be
furnished for four days on the roads.
This is expected to place hundreds
and hundreds Of wagons on the roads
for use in hauling gravel and metal.
The same provision has been in effect
in Marshall county for the past two
years and is said to have proven Of
great advantage to the highways Of
that county.
The owners of the wagons may fur.
nish drivers, but they are not required
to do so, only the wagons and teams
being required for work on the roads.
There are severe penalties for failure
to furnish the teams when warned to
do so by the overseer.

HIGH COST LIVING
; HAS HIT COUNTY
WORK HOUSE BLOW
PER CAPITA COST OF PRISONERS
INCREASED FIFTY PER CENT
IN FIFTEEN MONTHS.
THE FEED COST Is DOUBLED
Average Per Day OF Thirty-seven
Cents Now as Compared With Sew
enteen and One-half in First Quar-.
ter of Last Year.

High cost of living has hit the work
house as we'll as every other house in
the county as shown by the quarterly
report of county highway commission,
published in yesterdays Herald. For
example, with forty-eight prisoners
the past quarter it cost $1,614.69 for
provisions. For the first quarter OF
1916 that ending March 81, 1916, pro-
visions cost $914.50.
For the past quarter it cost an aver
age of thirty-seven cents per day for
feed for the prisoners. For the first
uuatrer of 1916, fifteen months before
it cost an average of seventeen and
one-half cents to feed the prisoners,
or less than half of the present cost.
During the past quarter the total
cost per prisoner for feeding, clothing
and caring for was sixty-one cents,
while for the first quarter of last year
the average per day per prisoner was
forty cents, an increase for all these
items of more than fifty per cent The
advance in clothing and other ex-
penses has not been anything like in
proportion to the advance in the cost
of feeding.
The total cost of the work house for
the past quarter was $4,25S, some.
what larger than usual because of the
expenses of moving the location sew.
eral miles.
With meal at So bushel and the
cheapest meats costing from twenty
two cents and upwards and with every
other item larger increased over what
it was a year ago the added cost is
not surprising.
According to the report of the COM
mssioners a total of $56046 of special
highway funds was expended during
tht past quarter, divided as follows:
First division, $14S.S7; second di-
vision, $1SS.70; third division, $222.S9.

VOTERS IGNORE

THREE FIND COURT HOUSE AND
ONE GOES TO THE

Maury county voters are greatly
stirred, in fact they are stirred to
their depths over the approaching con-
stitutional convention election. This
s shown by the tremendous rush in
Columbia and the Third and Seventh
districts to register, The books
opened on Thursday for three days
The rush to qualify to vote on the
convention was so great at both pre-
cincts of this district that the regis
trars were overwhelmed.
They were overwhelmed with a
lonely feeling; with melancholia.
They actually had enui For the vot-
ers rushed to some place other than
that designated for registration.
Three found their way to the booth
at the Court House, but at the depot
the registrars waited from weary
chime to chime for the voters that
did not come. Nary voter found
the place.
This is unusual. 1t is unique: II ia
unprecedented in Maury county. New
er before in Columbia did the voters
behave as they did at the supplement
tai election on Thursday The regis
trars are confident that they will be
wiser today and it is freely predicted
that at least six will register before
night.
