PROF. MORGAN ST|RS
MEMBERS OF COURT
IN ELOQUENT APPEAL
DECLARES THAT THIS WAR WILL
az WON ON THE FARMS AND
NOT IN TRENCHES.
EXP RIMEyT STATION IS UP
Warm Debate Over 100000 For The
Location of the Middle Tennessee
Department of University up When
Court Adjourns.

Whether or not the County Court OF
Maury county will offer 100000 for
the location of the Middle Tennessee
Agricultural Experiment station in
Maury county, was the question at is
sue when the justices OF the county
Mt 12:30 o'clock, after two and half
hours session adjourned until 100
o'clock this afternoon.
There was very little opposition to
the appropriation for the establish
ment of the experiment station in the
county, after Prof. H. A. Morgan, of
the University of Tennessee, in one OF
the most eloquent and logical address
an eyer heard, had presented to the
4<curt the great results that would fol.
,ov from the location of the institu-
ton here.
There was decided opposition, how
ever, led by Senator Church, to the
suggestion that the appropriation
should also be made broad enough to
embrace the location of model agri-
cultural high school that would re-
ceiye the benefits of the Smith-Hughes
federal aid. A motion to strike out
all but the experiment station was
pending when the court recessed until
this afternoon.
The court net this morning with
nearly all Of the members present,
The usual appropriations were al
lowed, included $59749 for the poor
house for the past quarter. Thirty-one
inmates are at the institutions, accord
ing to the report made by Secretary
Petty.
Judge Mcknight announced the res
ignation of Merritt B. Tomlinson as
member of the revenue commission
and the appointment of 0. P. Mckis-
sack, of Spring Hill, as his successor.
Mr.. McKissack was then elected to
ill out the unexpired term >,# en-.
The tax levy committee, through
Squire Guest, asked to be allowed un-
til the next term to report and the
request was granted.
The lands of E. Yoest were trans
ferred from the Fourth to the Ninth
district.
w. T. Galloway was unanimously re-
elected a member of the county road
commission.
At II O'Clock the court went to the
Circuit Court room to discuss the pro-
posed appropriation of 100000 for
the location of the Middle Tennessee
Experiment station. J. l. Finney, rep
resenting the mass meeting of Satur-
day afternoon, presented the request
that the county appropriate not less
than 100000 for the location OF the
station here.
BY request of the court Prof. H. A.
Morgan, of the University of Tennes-
nee, addressed the court. He made
one of the most eloquent, logical and
patriotic appeals ever heard in Maury
county for greater agricultural devel-
Sopment He was repeatedly applaud
ID. He appealed to the patriotism OF
the people of Maury county in this
great crisis. Friends who have heard
him often declared that his speech
was the greatest he had ever made.
He said that this war would be won
in the production of food and not in
the trenches.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's
