For the purpose of resembling the

voting an appropriation of 100000 to
secure the location of the Middle Ten.
nessee Experiment station in Maury
county, the County Court will meet
in extra session on Monday, August 6,
at 10 o'clock. A petition to call the
court, signed by five members, was
presented to Judge j. T. Mcknight

nothing to do but issue the call and
this Judge Mcknight accordingly did.

leaders in the contest to have the

ster, and the advocates of the station
are very much alarmed lest the court
rescind its former action With two
such. former staunch advocates of the
measure committed to it's repeal there
seems but little prospect of defeating
the resolution.
The members who have signed the
call declare that they are still con.
vinced of the wisdom of their action,
but the course of the governor, the
commissioner of agriculture and the
| president of the Middle Tennessee
Farmers institute in refusing and fail.
ing to locate the station, although
AIaury is the only county to make an
| offer, has aroused the suspicion in
| the minds of the members that the
offer of the county is being used as a
prize on other counties and for no
litical purposes
The petition to Judge Mcknight is
a very salty document and was the
direct result of the failure of the gov
ernor to locate the station after Viii
Hanson county had declined to make
an appropriation. For over foul
months. Maury county has been the
only county that made an offer anG
yet there has been a continuous de
lay upon the part of the committee.
| Many advocates of the station re
gret very much that the county will
lose. it. Regardless of the merits Of
the controversy over the location they
will be much disappointed that this
great boon for the agricultural inter
ests of Maury county is not coming
here, especially since this county has
manifested more appreciation of its
benfits than any other county in Ten
nessee.

HEALTH EXPERT IS

DR.. JOHN A. FERRELL SAYS IT
CAN BE MOST HEALTHY IN
THE SOUTH.
HAS VERY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
Is Charmed With The Landscape, The
Evidence of Agricultural Wealth
And the Fine Ciimate-To Return
In September.

DR.. John A. Ferrell, national direc-
tor of the international health board,
was in Columbia Sunday in conference
with DR.. E, L, Bishop, of the state
board of health, in charge of rural
sanitation in Maury county. DR.. Fer
rell was urged by DR.. Bishop to re-
main here longer and go over the
work done in the county, but other
engagements prevented him from do,
ing so. However, after a short trip
through the country he was so i'm
pressed with Maury county that he
promised to return in September for
longer stay.
DR.. Ferrell was very agreeably sur.
prised at the beauty and resources Of
Maury county. He had never been to
this section before and had no concep.
tion of its beauty and wealth of re-
sources. He told DR.. Bishop that
with the progressive people here,
their splendid agricultural resources
and the climate this should be the
healthiest county in the South. 1t
had opportunities for rural improve
ment that few other communities
have and he expressed the hope that
the people would avail themselves of
these opportunities.
DR.. Ferrell was especially charmed
with the landscape, with the splendid
homes, the well kept farms and the
abundance of good stock. He will
make longer stay when he returns
against next September.

GENERAL FLEMING
SOME BEEF GA0WER
CCNSECRATED TO SERVICE OF
COUNTRY-TURNED OVER
TO BATTERY r.

Attorney General viii Fleming has
been associating too much with AL
bert Whitley, Judge Hart and others
about the sheriff's office. He has as
sociated with this gang SO much that
he has become saturated. He brought
to The Herald Office this morning a
garden beet that weighed five and a
quarter pounds, and asserted in the
presence OF several gentlemen that he
grew it in his own garden. When the
genial attorney general made the AS
sertion there was a doubtful look
upon the face of every man present
OF course out of respect for the office
Mr.. Fleming holds, they held their
tongues, and did not dare give utter
ance to what they really thought.
Now we will be a little more bold
and say that if General Fleming had
said that the beet was grown in his
wife's garden, there would not have
been a doubtful look upon the face of
his hearers. But nevertheless, Mr..
Fleming brought the beet to The Her
aid office and it was fine one, and
to make it answer the best purpose
it was consecrated to the service OF
the country, when it was turned over
to Battery F and will be cooked and
prepared for the soldiers dinner.

ALL NOTICES ARE sent OU
Or. Cant, The Physician of the Board,
viii me Assisted in the Physical
Examinations by Number of Coun.
TVS Doctors.

Another contingent of 129 regis
trants under the selective draft law
have been summoned before the local
exemption board for examination on
next Monday and their names are pub
lished today in The Herald. There
Is also published in this issue of the
paper the names of 12S who have
been summoned for examination on
next Tuesday. This completes the
first 3S6 who will be summoned for
the first draft, provided the county's
quota Of 1913 can be obtained from
this number. If that cannot be done
then the next on the list will be sum-
moned.
The members of the local board,
Chairman William P. Ridley, jeff j.
Gray, clerk land DR.. Cant, physician,
are determined that the work shall
be done with all possible dispatch.
They want to sustain Maury county's
enyiable record for prompt response
to the calls of the United States gov.
ernment.
DR.. Cant will be assisted in the
physical examinations by number OF
the physicians of the county, all of
whom have volunteered for the work.
1t would be manifestly impossible for
one man, work as he might, to make
complete physical examinations Of
more than 100 men in a day, there.
fore other physicians were asked to
assist and every one spoken to made
the most prompt response.
DR.. Cant and Chairman Ridley, of
the board, went out to the camp at
the Columbia Military Academy on
Monday and watched the examination
by federal officers of a large number
of the local battery. In this way they
acquired much valuable experience.
The board spent a busy day on
Monday getting out the names of the
first 3S6 men, mailing them their no
tees to appear. In every envelope
was placed copy of instructions Sc
that the men sumoned would know
just exactly what to do.

EXTENDS SERVICE
OF ICE COMPANY
MANAGER KLEOPFER lNSTAlLS
AUTO TRUCK FOR RURAL
DELIVERY.

The management of the Columbia
Ice & Cold Storage Co. are constantly
endeavoring and reaching out to give
to the people of Columbia and Maury
service that they have long felt the
need of and wanted.
BY the addition of large auto
truck the company will deliver ice to
the citizens, of the suburbs of Colum-
bia as far out as mile from the cor
porate lines and further if the busi-
ness justifes it, but the chief aim of
the company in adding this truck to
the already splendid delivery force is
to be able to deliver ice to all of the
smaller towns of the county
Manager Kleopfer hopes to make up
regular schedule of the county, max
ing certain towns upon certain days,
thereby keeping each point abundant
ly supplied with the greatest antidote
for heat-ice. In addition to this
the management of the company in
trying to afford every accommodation
and render the very best of service
to the people of the town and county,
the company is doing great work in
the matter of preserving the large
spring food crop.
The cold storage plant of the COM
pany is rapidly filling up and by the
time the fall crops come in it will be
necessary to move out large quanti-
ties of provisions to make room for
other food stuffs that require refrig-
Grafton.
The plant is running night and day
and making large quantities of ice,
but the vast storage rooms will never
permit of Columbia having ice fam
ines as 1T has seen in the heated
sumer months in past years.

bv surprise and it was with difficulty
that he expressed his thanks to the
boys
The men of the battery had meet
ing last night and they unanimously
decided that their camp should be
named for Capt. Henderson. They
would have no other name. This
morning they were drawn up in bat
tery formation and Maj. Frierson, in
a neat address announced the name
of the camp. This was the first init
nation that the honored captain had

a good deal of control to make the
speech he did.
Army officers who mustered the
battery into the federal service on
Yesterday were greatly pleased with
The personnel of the organization. 1t
was declared to be equal to the best
in the service. The men averaged
about five feet and nine and fraction
