WHITE SCHOOLS
OPEN THE TERM
GENERALLY THE ATTENDANCE
is REPORTED TO HAVE
BEEN GOOD.

White schools opened for the ses-
sion of 1917-191S all over the county
on Monday morning. All of the coun-
try schools except the larger ones,
opened and while Superintendent Gra-
ham has as yet received but few re-
ports, it is said that generally the
attendance was good. While the war
will doubtless have some effect on the
higher grades of the schools, it is ex-
pected that in the elementary schools
the attendance this session will show
an increase. There are going to be
some vacancies in the teaching corps,
owing to the drafting of some of the
men teachers for army service, but it
is not expected that this will seriously
interfere with the operation of the
schools.
The negro schools of the county
opened the session about a week ago
and reports gen orally are that the en-
rollment is about up to the average.

BOWERS LAW Is

JUDGE NEIL, OF NASHVILLE,
HOLDS THAT REPEAL BILL is
!, lI% NULL AND VOID.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. fudge
A. B. Neil, of the Davidson criminal
court, sitting at Lebanon in habeas
corpus case from DeKalb county, de.
cided today that the Bowers act of
1915 abolishing capital punishment
had not been repealed, but was still
in full force and effect. The act pur-
porting to repeal the Bowers law was
passed in 1917, but it fails to recite
either in the caption or body of the
act the title of the act sought to be
repealed and under the constitution
is null and void A provision of the
organic law requires that every act
which purports to amend or repeal
former act must recite the title or
substance of the act sought to be
amended or repealed. The supreme
court has repeatedly held that this is
mandatory.

this example of his striking efficiency.
A few nights ago Sergeant Reilly was
sent to Franklin on some business.
While he was away the electric lights
at the camp failed. Every man in the
battery who was suspected of any
knowledge of electricity or machinery
was called ON to do the necessary

said, II have it. | will call Dan. I'll

nized that this will be one of the
greatest boons ever offered to the
people of the county.
The county court will meet on Mon

that any serious effort will be made

CREAM BUSINESS OF

BfC0M[S[A0RMOUS
AN ANNUAL BUSINESS OF MORE
THAN TWENTY-FIVE THOU.
SAND DOLLARS.
HIGH WATtR MARK SATURDAY
When Two Hundred Gallons Were
Shipped-Finest Herd Of Jerseys In
The county-Experts Pronounce
Plant One of the Best in State.

]. T. Davis & Sons, proprietors of
Lytle Creek Farm, manufacturers Of
ice cream, have built up an enormous
trade on their cream. They are ship
ping on an average of about thirty
stands per day or total of one hun
dred and fifty gallons, making grand
total for the week about one thousand
and fifty gallons.
1t is understood that this cream is
selling at sixty-five cents per, gallon
wholesale, and%at this rate Lytle
Creek Farm is handling a business of
about $6S200 per week. This bust.
ness last for about six months at this
rate, making a total of $17,745.00 for
half years work, The remainder
of the year will possibly amount to
about half this sum, making a total
business for the year of about s26,617.
Mr. Davis is milking fifty cows at
present, and all are of the very high.
est type of registered Jerseys. The
herd was originally the famous herd
started and built up by Patton Whit
aker, and since taking it over Mr..
Davis has added many high class
cows to the already complete herd.
He also has under contract large guam
titles of milk from other herds in the
county.
Saturday Mr.. Davis reached the
high water mark thus far this season
when the plant shipped forty-five
stands of cream, averaging something
over four gallons to the stand, or
about two hundred gallons. The
cream manufacturing business in
Maury county has grown to enormous
proportions, and with the prospects so
bright for the location of the Middle
Tennessee Experiment station here
and with the natural advantages
Maury county has in the production
of grass, the industry will greatly in
crease within the next few years.
/ Recently experts connected with the
University of Tennessee have visited
the plant of Davis & Son and pro-
nounce it one of the most complete
and up-to-date in the South.
