A comittee has been named already

days the machinery will have been
installed and the actual work begun
and within few weeks results are
certain to be known The experts
and biologists who have examined

According to statement given out
by the local managers of the GuytOn

bia, the opening of the Union Stock
Yards in Nashville, will not affect
the shipment of army mules from
Columbia in the least.
Up to Friday night no mules had
been shipped from Columbia this
week, and only one train load was
shipped out to Newport News last
week, but the company is still buying
and concentrating mules here at this
point and has now on the mobiliza-
ton farm on the Pulaski pike three
thousand or more mules.
Weather conditions have been
against the handling of the mules as
rapidly as formerly, but if the present
weather condition keeps up for any
length of time, it Is expected that
there will be a heavy movement of
the long-eared fellows within a short
while.

BIG JUDGMENT IS
OBTAINED FOR THE
STATE SCHOOL FUND
BRISTER SUIT AGAINST SHELBY
AND MEMPHIS AFFIRMED BY
SUPREME COURT.
ENORMOUS sum IS SECURED
Efforts Of Gov. Hooper's Superinten-
dent, J. w. Brister, Are at Last Re-
warded When Decree Is Entered for
$4,000 Fraudulently Secured.

Special to The Herald.
I. NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 27.-In
the Supreme Court today an opinion
was handed down affirming the decree
Of the Chancery Court of Shelby coun.
ty in the case of Brister superinten-
dent against the city Of Memphis and
Shelby county, under which the state
RECEIVERS for its school funds $147, 600
The suit was instituted by ]. W.
Brister, state superintendent under
Gov. Hooper, who alleged that through
fraudulent and padded census returns
the city of Memphis and Shelby coun-
ty had received $147,000 from the
school funds of the state to which
they had not been entitled. The suit
was sustained in the Chancery Court
and judgment rendered. The defen-
dants prayed an appeal with the result
above stated.
After the suit to recover this sum
had been instituted by Superintendent
Brister powerful political influences
were brought to bear to have the suit
dismissed. 1t was charged that Gov.
Rye two years ago agreed with the
Shelby delegation that the suit would
be dismissed and that the then Super
intendent Thompson was a party to
the agreement.
The Shelby delegation introduced a
bill in the legislature and had it
passed directing that the suit be dis
missed. However, the press of the
state raised such howl over the mat
ter that the governor in a message Of
only few lines vetoed the bill and
it was not passed over his veto. AS a
result Of the efforts of Supt. Brister
the state school fund will profit $147,-
900 that it would not otherwise have
received.

place.
