LOYALTY MEDAL
TO HERALD BOY
HENRY COMPTON SECURES MUCH
PRICED HONOR At CoUN-
TY HIGH.

One of the most coveted of all the
honors bestowed by the County High
School is the Loyalty" medal, the
honored recipient being selected by
the full faculty. This year this medal
was given to Henry Compton, one of
the most valued members of The Her
aid force, and no honor ever bestowed
by the County High School was ever
more worthily bestowed than this.
This young mans middle name should
have been loyalty" He is always
absolutely loyal to any trust reposed
in him. He is faithful to every duty.
Although of so few words as to win
the sobriquet Of "The Silent" Henry
Compton's life illustrates the truth Of
the old saying that "still waters run
deep" For several years he has not
only made creditable record in his
studies, but he has been loyal and
faithful every day in his duties at The
Herald office.

MANY FOXES ARE
SHIPPED TO TEXAS
FORTY CONSIGNED TO ONE MAN
DURING THE PAST TWELVE
q MONTHS.

Few people have any idea of the
demand that there is from Texas and
Oklahoma for the foxes Of Tennessee.
During the past year Deputy County
Clerk Theo e. Lipscomb has shipped
no less than forty foxes to one man
Id Texas. Another has just sent him
an order for a number. He had let
ter today from party in that state to
whom he had shipped six recently
who expressed the greatest satisfac-
tion at the quality OF the animals sent
to him. Mr. Lipscomb stated this
morning that the demand was exclu-
sively for Tennessee foxes. that they
did not want the kind that grew in
Kentucky or Alabama. II would be a
surprise ito the people II they knew
the extent Of the fox industry in this
section. There are numbers OF fami-
lies whose incomes are supplemented
by reynard. All of which again sug-
gests the growing OF foxes on farms
in this state as regular industry.

TO REDUCE GRADES
ON ENGLISH HILL
NEAR HAMPSHIRE
ENGINEER OF STATE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION MAKES NEW
SURVEY.
FIVE Per CENT GRADE GIVEN
People OF That Section Agree To Con.
struct the Highway, County Only
Paying the Damages for the Lands
That viii be Used.

Carrying out the plans to make the
highway from Columbia TO Hohenwald,
to be constructed with state aid, one
of the best in this section, the high
way commissioners of the county,
with the aid of Assistant State Engi.
neer Butler, on Thursday met the diff
ficulties of the English hill. A new
route through the farm of Thos. j.
English was surveyed out by the engl.
neer and commissioner that will put
the road over this hill on a grade that
will not, according to the estimate Of
Mr.. Butler, exceed five per cent at any
place.
The county will pay Mr.. English
reasonable damages for the lands
used in the new location, but the citi-
zens Of that section have raised the
funds necessary to construct the road
so that the only cost to the county
viii be the damages to the property.
L
The change will lengthen the distance
between Cross Bridges and Hampshire
by about half-mile and of course by
the same distance between. Columbia
and Hampshire, but it will be a vast
improvement. 1t is estimated that on
the present road over this hill there
are places where a. grade of twenty
per cent must be encountered.
With the elimination of the exces
sive grades on the English hill and
the construction Of the highway over
the McClanahan hill to the west OF
Hampshire. there will be one Of the
best and most direct routes in the
state from Columbia to the Lewis
county line. 1t has already been des
ignated a state highway and will
share with the five other state high
ways the funds that have been appor
toned by the state highway commits
sion to Maury county.

THOMAS DOUGLAS
OLDEST ENGINEER
IN SERVICE KILLED
VETERAN AT THROTTLE MEETS
END ON LEWISBURG AND
NORTHERN.
FIFTY YEARS IN ACTIVE LU1Y
Was The Oldest Both In Years And
Point of Service-Train Plunged
into Rear Of Freight Train at
Wheelerton.

In a rear-end collision at Wheeler
ton, between Lewisburg and Athens,
on the Athens division of the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning, Thomas
Douglas, of Glendale, the Oldest engi.
neer both in years and point OF
service was killed. The fireman on
the engine was badly hurt and several
of the train crews We're injured and
shaken up.
Mr. Douglas was pulling the throttle
on train No. 1, which is one OF the
fastest of the through trains, when he
ran into the rear of a freight that was
taking water at Wheelerton. Some
misunderstanding of the orders is sup
posed to have caused the wreck.
Mr.. Douglas was the oldest both in
years and in point of service Of any
engineer on the railroad. On July !
he would have finished his fifty full
years at the throttle ana II was his
ambition to do this before he retired.
He had been longer than that with
the railroad. As boy he aided in
the construction OF the road south Of
Decatur. He had in fact, been more
than sixty years with the Louisville &
Nashville railroad and was one Of the
most valuable and most highly es-
teemed men in the service OF the road
Although he was seventy-seven
years OF age Mr.. Douglas was hale and
hearty. He accounted for this splen-
did health by his abstemious habits,
the regularity with which he did ev-
erything and his strong constitution.
He was widely known. and was very
popular and there was universal sor-
row expressed not only in railroad cir.
cles but everywhere he was known,
over his death.
Mr.. Douglas is survived by his wife
and FIVE children, Mrs. Leila Long
hurst, of Nashville; Mrs. Nellie Han
cock, Edward Douglas, Dick and
George Douglas. The funeral ar
rangements for Mr.. Douglas had not
been made.
R. e. Rigon, the fireman on No. /,
was thrown under the engine and was
very seriously although not fatally
injured

UNION Of

BOARD.

Settled.

Proposed consolidation of the els-

and of the city Of Columbia was
brought to the attention of the mem.
bers of the county board of education
at an adjourned session held on Mon,
day by delegation from the South.
ern section of the Ninth district, who
are patrons of the Mcdowell or Ninth
district school.
There is sure to be decided differ
ence of opinion concerning the eonsol-
.dation Of the district and city elemen-
tary schools. While the question has
been informally discussed by a num-
ber of citizens for several years and
has been urged by many as in line
with the modern and progressive ,spir
it OF school consolidation, this is the
first time that it has been brought
forcefully to the attention of the
school authorities.
1t will be recalled that about a year
ago similar arrangement was made
with the colored schools of the Ninth
district and the city This followed
| the burning of the negro school build
| ing. The same arrangement has been
in effect at Mt. Pleasant for the Sew.
enth district now for several years
and has worked admirably, according
to the school authorities. The schools
Of the Seventh district and the city
operate jointly.
The same principle is in effect in
both OF the County High Schools, that
at Mt. Pleasant and that at Columbia,
| and so far no complaint has been Of
fered.
These are among the arguments
that are presented by the proponents
of the plan. On the other hand, the
!. opposition declare that the city
schools are already crowded, that
! there will be no economy in consoli
dation and that the identity of the
district school will be lost as result
thereof and in consequence the move
ment would not result in any improve

the proposition as well as it's advo
