As When Issuance of 100000
Bonds Was Authorized.

Citizens of Maury county who have
given so much of their time and enAr-
gy toward securing the Middle Ten
nessee Experiment station have not
been convinced by the action of the
county court last Monday in falling
to ratify the report of the site selec-
ton committee that the station is
lost. They believe that the court In
still as strongly in favor of the prop
osition now as it was when the issur
ance of 100000 bonds for the pur-'
chase of the bonds was authorized
With this thought in mind, a meeting
of the citizens committee, appointed
at mass meeting when the NOVA.

for next Monday at 10 o'clock, in the

committee are:

advertising. He believes in advertise
ing. He looks upon it as science
and studies it from every angle.
Mr.. Figuers realizes that advertis-
ing is one of the greatest assets to
any line of business, but he does not
depend upon advertising alone. He
realizes that you must have a worthy
article to advertise and that in addi-
ton to the advertising, personal
effort is also necessary. He is not
lacking in any of these attributes.
He has the greatest lands in the world
to advertise; he has an untold amount
of personal energy and efforts stored
up, and he knows how to advertise
and realizes that newspapers are this
best means through which to reach
the people.
With these three necessary requf-.
sites to any busienss, It cannot help
but succeed. +.

FIRST TENNESSEE
CONVERTED INTO
ARTILLERY unit
COL. HARRY BERRY REMAINS IN
COMMAND OF REGIMENT TO
BE KNOWN AS 18TH.
Third ABSORBS THt SECOND
Col. LEAFS Regiment Unchanged And
Designated as Hath ArtiIery-oth-
err Units Are Changed by the War
Department Orders.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 13.-An
authoritative and official telegram was
received here last night from Green
vile, S. c., announcing that the First
Tennessee infantry, under the com
mand of Colonel Harry Berry, had
been converted into a regiment Of
artillery and is to be known as the
115th artillery. Colonel Berry was
offered command of cavalry unit, to
be trained for infantry service or his
own regiment as an artillery unit, and
decided to remain in command of his
own boys, and enters the artillery
service with them.
The First Tennessee field artillery,
under command of Lieutenant-CO Colonel
Luke Lea, is now the Hath artillery.
This regiment is the only Tennessee
unit which has not been changed by
the sweeping orders of the war de-
partment which have just been an
nounced by Major-General Morrison.
The First Tennessee field artillery
gets the lowest regimental number
in the federal service. The members
of the regiment are greatly rejoiced
over the fact that their organization
has not been changed.
The Second Tenne ssee infantry has
oeen absorbed by the Third Tennes-
see infantry and renamed the 117th
infantry. This regiment will be in
command of Colonel Carey Spence Of
Knoxville. All of the Second infan-
try was not needed to fill up the Third
infantry and Colonel Charles Rogan,
commander of the Second infantry,
and the other officers have been trans
ferred to the depot brigade. which is
made up of reserve training bat
talions.
Troop A and other cavalry units
from Tennessee have been converted
into machine gun companies.
All of the changes in the Tennessee
organizations go into effect at once.
The fact that the First Tennessee
infantry has been converted into an
artillery regiment is taken to mean
that the government is in need of
more artillery units at this time.

Commissioner of Agriculture H. X.
Bryson in an address yesterday dealt
with the farmers duty to his country
in the war crisis. He urged economy
in the home and on the farm and
greater production of farm products.
This question was dealt with from an
educational standpoint by Prof. s. W,
Sheriff. superintendent of education,
who declared that there was never a
time in the history Of the country
when there was a greater demand for
educated and trained boys and girls
on the farm. Rutledge Smith. chair

ADVISES
TIME SHORT FOR
SECURING CAMP
ORGANIZATION MEETING TO BE
HELD IN COLUMBIA FRIDAY
MORNING, AT 10 O'CLOCK.
CfFtR UNUSUAL ADVANTAGES
That Will Be Necessary If The Army
Board Goes to Lewis Monument
Region to MAKE investigation of
Proposed Site.

Unusual advantages must be offered
by the advocates of the MerriWethar
Lewis monument region for an army
machine gun school if the investigat-
ing board takes the time and goes to
the trouble to make a visit of inspec-
tlon to it, Representative L. p. Pad
gett advised W. F. Anderson, presi
dent of the Board Of Trade, in a tele
6ram received last night. The report
of the army board on the selection
OF a site will be made by September
80, so very little time is lett for this
section to get its claims thoroughly
before the war department officials.
This information coming on the eve
of the organization meeting to be held
by delegates from Mt Pleasant, Hob,
enwald, Lawrenceburg and other
towns interested in securing the
camp for the Lewis region should be
a spur to them to get into quick &C.
ton.
Mr.. Padgett's telegram to Mr. An.
derson was:
General Duvall wires me to ad-
wise the people of Maury, Law
renee, Lewis and Hickman coun.
ties to submit map and data at
once on terrain they have to Of
fer. Due to the fact that the re-
| port must be submitted by Sep
TENDER 80, it is doubtful whether
the board will have time to in.
.spect unless same offers unusual
| advantages"
Maps and data have already been
/ forwarded to Gen. Duvall by the com
mercial organizations of Mt. Pleasant
Columbia and Hohenwald, but it may
be necessary to prepare other infor
nation for the engineers and army
officials who will select the site fol

camp that will be located in this sec
ton Of the southeastern department
A large delegation from Mt. Pleas
ant headed by D. w. Shoffner, presi
dent of the Board Of Trade of tina
city, will arrive early Friday mornins
to participate in the great organiza
ton and harmony meeting that will
be held at the Court House. In view
of the fact that Mt. Pleasant business
men took the lead in the movement
to secure the camp, it is likely tina
the other towns will be guided large
ly in their actions by what the dele
cation from Mt. Pleasant advises.
The Columbia Board of Trade Is
actively and earnestly behind the
movement and the business men o.
this city are prepared to go as fal
as necessary to secure this great en-
terprise for this section of Tennessee
