similar amiable weakness. President
Wilson Is fond of the light, fantastic
detective story, and his collection Of

than swapping new nonsense verses.

there Sunday, when supposed bomb

scour of the country was made, but no
Germnas coul dbe found, in fact, there
was very few people thtre who sym.
pathized with the Germans before the
declaration OF war.
The bomb was brought to Columbia
this morning and after careful exam.

battery, the jacket of which had been
torn off with the carbon terminal

HEARD AT COLUMBIA MILL

II The Foreign Foe Should Come to
This Country.

Chancellor J. H. Kirkland, of Van
derbilt University, delivered power
full address at the Columbia Military
Academy Sunday afternoon to one of
the most representative audiences as.
sembled to hear a speaker in Colum-
bia in many years. The large audi
torium of the school was comfortably
filled, every available seat being filled
and several chairs had to be brought
in to accommodate the crowd.
The Chancellor took as the subject
of his address, THE Causes of the
Great World War and What Led up to
it." Chancellor Kirkland handled the
subject in mastery manner, and to
the satisfaction Of every one present,
answered those fellows, who are cry.
ing against the proposition OF mobiliz-
ing an army to go into Europe to com
bat the common foe, and saying "I'll
fight il the enemy invades our coun-
try" The Chancellor pictured them
up in manner that if man who has
made these remarks would wish that
he could dig hole, crawl into it and
pull the hole in after him."
After the speaking was over the
cadets gave dress parade in the
presence of several hunderd enthusias-
tic spectators. The cadets acquitted
themselves we'll. Captain Troupe Mil,
ler was in charge of the cadets.
Each Sunday afternoon until the
close of the school a speaker of prom
inence will deliver an address which
will be open to the public, and the
speakings will be followed by the pa
rade drill by the cadets.

1t was the unanimous opinion OF a
meeting of the officials and ministers
of the several churches of the city
held on Sunday afternoon that there
should be big union revival meet

coming fall. Looking to this end the
minister's association was directed to
make further investigation and report
at a later date. The meeting was
attended by members of official boards

thoroughly harmonious and seemingly
of one mind.

All former records in the mule bust.
ness have been smashed by the enter.
prising firm of r. F. Moore & Son
The shipping season has about closed
for the present, but there will be sew.
eral mules sold locally during the sum.
mer months.
With the close OF business Saturday
night, this firm had handled 5000
mules at an average of about $50. 90,
total cost of $950,000, which was the
coveted number, and the mark set by
J. G. Moore, the junior member of the
firm. These mules were sold to farm
ers in Maury and adjoining counties,
and shipped to the Southern planters,
the average sold locally averaging
about half, while eight hundred of the
5000 were war mules. These mules
have been handled since Aug. /, 1916.
One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the vast amount of mules
y s.
handled through this big concern is
that mere than one-third of the mules
handled by this firm We're raised and
fed by the farmers Of Maury county.
Added to this is nine car loads of
Jersey cows at an average OF about
$4,000 per car, or total of $22,5O0
since the first day of March, making
total of $972,5OO. Added to this
several thousand dollars worth of reg
istered Duroc hogs, possibly making
the total amount of business handled
by this firm, counting the other local
deals made in other lines, reach the
enormous sum of $1,0OO,O0O.
The working force of the R. F.
Moore & Son staff is composed Of R.
2. Moore. j. G.. Moore, Brit Davis,
Lacy Whitaker, Sam Mathews and
Bernard Rice, and H. A. Moore. Sam
Mathews has charge of the Jersey cat
tie end of the business, H. A. Moore
of the Duroc hogs and the balance Of
the force devote practically all Of their
time to mules and horses.
Moore & Son stated to a Herald
reporter today that they were anxious
to assist Maury county in every way
possible to make the biggest crops this
year in the history of the county and
that they were ready to sell any farm
er mule and take his note for same.

saturdays Daily.)

| Farmers of Maury county have sure
iy changed the face of the country
during the past two weeks. Probably
| never before in the history of the
county has there been as much work
| done on the farms as has been
wrought during the past dozen days
Weather conditions have been favor
| able although now a rain would be
decidedly welcome.
A very large portion of the corn
crop, probably nearly half of the total
acreage Of the county, has already
been planted. This is unusual at this
time of the year and considering the
way farm work was tied up all dur.
| ing the spring is remarkable. The
army in the burrows has been as busy
in this county as the army of our al
| lies has been in France. There is
some scarcity Of labor and there is not
an overabundance of work stock in
some sections, but despite these hand
leaps remarkable progress has been
made.
But the county is not going to de-
pend on the corn crop although most
everything is staked upon that great
staple. Prof. Farris, the county agent,
has met with fine success in his eff
forts to organize soy bean club and
already twenty-five have Joined. Each
member has pledged himself to sow
not less than three acres and one
member, ]. Brice Martin, has agreed
to plant at least fifty acres. This
means that considerably over 100
acres of soy beans will be sown in the
county, despite the high price of seed.
Mr.. Farris stated that there was no
more profitable way to fatten pork
than by hogging down soy beans and
corn, Experiments made in Alabama
show that hogging down corn cost five
cents pound to make pork, while soy
beans and corn cost only three cents
pound to make pork.
Then there will be much more than
the customary acreage of sweet po-
tatoes in the county. Notwithstand-
ing the immense price of seed, the
Ty~,C1 fafx TO-. ,L.A \
nearly every family has made prepare,
tions to raise at least the home sup
ply of the aristocrats of the dinner
table. There will be more table
beans, more peanuts and more peas
sown than ever before probably in the
history OF the county.

FOR REDUCTION
OF COST LIVING
FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM TO BE
DISCONTINUED BY n. G.
HILL COMPANY.

On next Tuesday, May /, the H. G.
Hill Company will discontinue the free
delivery of all merchandise. This
step has been taken, it is announced,
for the purpose of reducing the cost of
living. The firm estimates that nine.
tenths OF the purchases made are
taken from the store by the buyers
and that it is unfair to the whole
trade to add to the cost of groceries
the expense Of the comparatively
small number of deliveries. The free
delivery system is very expensive
one and in this time Of the ever in.
creasing cost of the necessities of life,
measure of this kind, it is believed,
will meet with popular approval.
