ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
SHOWN N PROSPECTS
OF C0UATl'S CROPS
PASTURES RESPOND RAPIDLY TO
THE ABUNDANCE OF RAINS
RECENTLY.
CORN IS IN fine SHAPE
Wheat Fields That Were Not Frozen
Out Promise to Make Splendid
YieId-Oats Will be Much Better
Than Was Expected.

With the exception of all small
grain the crops of Maury county have
never given promise Of bigger yields
than they do at this time. Remark
able improvement has been noted dur
ing the past ten days. The rains,
while often accompanied with hail and
wind that did some damage, have been
wonderful benefit to all of the crops
and the country has never looked
more inviting than it does at this
time.
The corn crop is especially promis,
ing. The acreage is far and away
above the average and the stands gen.
orally are good. The crop is clean, in
fact, weeds have not made much
growth this season. The color is good
The gardens are all that one could
ask. Irish potatoes promise to yield
splendidly. Already a, number have
the tubers large enough for the table
and with the recent rains the size will
increase very rapidly.
Peas, beans. sorghum. in fact every
crop, is growing nicely. The early
hay crop will be one of the shortest
in years, but will be made up in part
at least in the increased acreage that
is being sown to millet and peas and
beans and sorghum. The acreage of
the latter crop is going to be very
heavy.
Pastures are responding nobly to
the rains. Grass and clover are grow
ing rapidly and all kinds Of stock are
beginning to show splendid gains.
With anything like favorable seasons
from now on there will assuredly be
an abundance Of everything to eat in
the county this year.
Many oat fields promise good yields
and the small acreage of wheat that
did not freeze out has startled every
one in its promise. The heads are
exceptionally fine. Rye that has been
left for seed is unusually good.

istered-cierk and Sheriff Express
Thanks to Volunteers.

Every effort will be made by SheriR
Griffin, his deputies, the city police
officers and the constables Of the
county, aided by many of the Justices
OF the peace, patriotic citizens and
registrars to bring to justice any
slackers from the military registra
ton.
Several Of the registrars Of the
county are rendering valuable aid in
this matter. Whenever one is report
ed to them for not having registered
an investigations is at once instituted
In many cases 1t develops that the
party in question was under the re-
quired age or had registered at soma
other precinct. Sheriff Griffin spends
good deal of his time in running
! down cases of this kind.
For example on Tuesday several
names were given him of persons said
not to have registered. One, on inves-
LEGATION proved beyond the age, the
others were registered at precincts
other than those at which the inform
ants thought they should have regis
tered
Duplicate copies of the registration
lists are posted now at every precinct
in the county. They are all, that Is
the entire list Is posted at the Court
House. Not only that, but they are
being rapidly published in The Herald.
More than half the districts have al
ready been published and the list will
be completed by the end Of the week.
The next task that will confront
the sheriff and clerk will probably be
the drawing of eligibles for the ser.
vice, because the present Indications
are that the registration boards, that
is the sheriff, the clerk and the coun-
ty health officer will be retained as
the exemption board.
Sheriff Griffin and County Clerk
Lipscomb today issued the following
statement 1--WE cannot let this Op-
portunity to pass without word OF
acknowledgment of our lasting debt
to the numerous patriotic volunteers
who have rendered us such valuable
and indispensable aid in this registra,
ton and in copying the list. They
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they have rendered their country q
service that was absolutely essential
in its hour of trial. We are sure that
this will be ample compensation to
them"

all her career as an agent, was that

Culleoka, on Monday. 1t was an all

hundred women from that community
in attendance and nearly 200 cans Of
peas and beans and various and sun
dry kinds of vegetables and fruits
were canned during the day.
The day was a success from begin,

brought their lunches and stayed late.
Interest in the demonstration was
keen and not point explained by
Mrs Bryan was lost on those who
were present. The canning was quick
ly and efficiently done. Mrs. Bryan
demonstrated her ability and the
women caught the enthusiasm. There
will be as result of this lesson the

We respect your patriotic fervor,
friend, but would remind you that TO be
patriot you do not have to revert to
savagery.
Hate, prejudice, and intolerance are
not needed by your country. In fact, In
troublous times nothing is more valuable
than sanity and courtesy.
You can be true American and not
cease to be gentleman.
Charity is good at all times. II has
been said upon the highest authority
that it is the greatest Of virtues. And
one of the best forms Of IL Is charity
toward the opinions Of others.
And of charity remember the descrip-
ton: Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; vaunteth not herself, is not pulled
up"
II there is any time when we need TO
be tolerant Of the views of others, when
we should not swagger and strut and
brag and threaten, it is when we stand
on the verge of war.
For instance. this is no time to be
making nasty insinuations about Japan.
The Japanese are courteous people and
should be treated courteously. Nothing
Is at once so unworthy of intelligent peo-
pie and so dangerous among the ignor-
ant as race prejudice. There is no rea-
son why our relations with the Japanese
should not continue cordial, and II they
do not the fault will be ours.
There is no reason also why we should
treat with suspicion or abuse German
born fellow citizens. They are not re-
sponsible for the deeds of the highbind-
ers that are debating the policy Of the
German government.
Let us also have done with ugly insin-
uations against one another because we
differ in opinion as to what President
Wilson and congress should do. II l
think we ought to deal promptly and Sc
verely with Germany. that does not mean
that the munition millionaires have
bought me. And il believe we ought
to go slow and go into war only under the
most extreme provocation, that does not
mean that am German spy.
A little self-restrsint and ordinary de-
cency would not hurt any of US.
We are all Americans, and when the
pinch comes we shall all be found stand
ing shoulder to shoulder; and let as not
allow the heat of our convictions to carry
us into shrieling unfounded SANDERS and
trying to gain our point by violent and
vicious suspicious of each others mo-
tives. .

No person who is not so imbued with
