Lemuel P. Pddgetf One of Big u
Factors in Making U. S. Many !.
The POUer 1t Is T0day

(By J. w. pURDY in Boston IIerald)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. ia
congressman from Tennessee who
told Congress on Oct. 10 in 4 general
way all that he could be permitted to
tell about the accomplishments of the
navy, omitted absolutely to refer to
one of the factors that made it great,
his own efforts in Congress. He told
of the British admiral who, when the
first flotilla of U. S. destroyers arriv-
ed in English waters, asked, 'When
will you be ready" and received the
characteristic reply, I'VE are ready
now"
The congressman said: "The broad
basis Of naval preparedness was laid
in the epoch-making naval appropria-
ton bill of Aug. %. 1916"-that bill
gave the navy 1912, 100000, used for
preparation against the following
sixth day OF April; but he did not say
that it was he who laid before the Sec
rotary of the navy the urgent need OF
seeking the appropriation, nor that he
was instrumental in the adoption Of
the continued building program Of the
navy.
He told of the difficulties at the out
set of providing guns for merchant
vessels; for up to that time the civil
lied world believed that the days of
piracy on the high seas was thing Of
the past; of the need of expert gun
ners for the same vessels and the
tritls of the bureau of navigation to
supply them without stripping the At
lantic fleet. He quoted Admiral Mayo,
who said, when directed to put the
fleet on a war footing, 81 did not have
to give an order" but did not think
worth while to add that Congress had
provided the means to make the fleet
ready. He told of the rapid expansion
of the navy up to 100000 men and L.
500 ships; but made no mention of the
fact that the House accepted every
statement that he made and in reli-
ance upon his judgement made the
appropriations without reserve.

HALF MILLION DOLLARS
PAID OUT FOR MULES
N COLUMBIA TODAY
THE HIGHEST PRICE MULE RE.
PORTED SOLD WAS $4,000
BOUGHT BY JOHN FRASER.
RECORD MONDAY FOR NOVEMBER
Predictions Are That Next Year Will
See Highest Mule Market in History
of the Nation--Many Pairs Sold for
S60c.Co.

Never before in the history of the
county have mules sold so high the
first Monday in November, as today,
said one of the leading mule buyers
that has been coming to Columbia
for the past twenty-five years. the
local buyers are also of the same
opinion. The first Monday in Novem-
Der, 1917, mules sold very high and
dealers thought the high water mark
had been reached for that early in the
season, but Monday, November 4, 1918,
is the banner Monday up to the pres.
ent time for early high prices.
Army mules brought from SITS to
$3.50, $40 to $50 higher than last year.
Cotton mules sold ON the streets at
$175 to $685.. The price averaging
about 1925. Sugar mules sold for $3.50
to $500 each. Many pairs sold as high
as $500, while it was common thing
to see pair sell for $500.
Only one mule is reported to have
sold for $500; handsome black mare
mule, the name of the buyer and sell.
er could not be ascertained.
viii Ladd paid $3.50 for roam mare
mule. She was a handsome animal
and had she been 4 black with the
mealy points she would have easily
brought $500. Jess Blackwell sold a
handsome pair OF mules for $500 to
John Fraser for Fies & Son. Mr.
Blackwell considered the jenny mule
$500 animal.
1t is estimated that there were more
than 1000 mules on the streets and
in the mule barns, stock yards, stables
ETC., and that fully 1000 changed
hands. Fies & Son, through their
buyers, Mr.. Fies and John Fraser, pur-
chased four car loads, while Moore &
Son, Hays & Wright. Frank Leon
hardt and other local buyers were
heavg traders. z. r.. Pickens & Son.
Of Bellbuckle, purchased one or two
loads. Other buyers, purchasers of
one or more cars, were: RUDE Law
renee, OF Troy. Ala; Holman Bros, of
Mozard, Ala; Abraham Bros, of Mont
g01nery, Ala; John c. uStrothers, of
Alabama; j. G. 3Rycr, NVdst, Pornt, Ca:
l.. H. and Willis McCampbell, of 11eb-
anon, Tenn; H. F. Weir, of Hartsell,
Ala and number of other buyers
who came i'll on the early train and
left on the afternoon train without
registering at the hotel.
1t is almost impossible to place an
estimate On the number of mules that
changed hands, or the consideration
for them. Some have said that $780,
900, some 100000, while others were
more conservative and placed the
amount at 100000, and some as low
as $1500OO, but all are of the opinion
that considerably over 100000 was
paid out here today for mules.
There was also considerable dealing
in horses, but the price continues low.
The report from the stock yards and
the clearings from the banks which
will be published in Tuesdays Herald,
will shed more light upon the subject.

HERALD ANNOUNCES
INCREASED RATES
FOR DAILY EDITION
OLD n. C. /. RESPONSIBLE FOR AN
ADDITION TO THE sUBscRIP-
TON PRICES.
STILL UNDER OTHER DAILlEs
Additional Revenue viii Pay Only
Part Of the Added Cost of Running
Newspaper Of the Splendid Type
OF Maury's Pride.

| In order to meet the ever increas-
ing cost of publication, The Daily Her
aid finds il necessary to increase its
subscription rates. In doing this The
Herald is merely following in the
wake OF all OF the leading newspapers,
daily and weekly, in the United
States.
Both the Nashville dailies recently
announced an increase In circulation
rates from Is to 20 cents week or
81 by mail. The Daily Herald has in.
creased its carrier rates from 10 cents
to Is cents week and its rate by
mail from 50 to $3.50 year.
The increased subscription rates,
assuing there will be no loss OF cir.
culation as a result, will just about
pay the increased cost of the tele-
graphic news service instituted when
war was declared, and the increased
cost Of postage levied by the congress.
1t will not meet the enormous increase
in the cost of white paper, due to the
increase in price and to the fact that
during the year The Herald has In
creased in size from 120 inch page
to $50 inch page. This increase of
twenty-five per cent in the size of the
page resulted in q big increase in its
white paper bill, one that would have
resulted had there been no increase
in price.
But white paper is costing this pap
er nearly five cents q pound; four
years ago it cost half that figure. The
Herald has hoped and hoped that
some relief would come, but there is
no alternative. 1t must either discon.
tinue its splendid telegraph news SER
vice, reduce the size of the paper and
effect other economies that would
make it little provincial daily IN
stead of metropolitan newspaper, or
Increase the price. It has chosen the
latter course because it knows the
people of Columbia and Maury county.
They are entitled to and expect the
best. The Herald is assured that they
will approve its course.
The Herald is an institution in this
city and county. It's advance probab-
ly has been greater than the advance
made In many other lines of endeay-
or. 1t has always been a leader, never
a follower. 1t is universally recog-
nized as one of the finest opponents
of the small city daily" 1t has been
Maury countys great advertising med.
ium and it will continue to be.
The Herald furnishes the latest
news from the chancellories OF Eu.
rope, from the battle fields both on
land and sea, from the cabinet at
Washington. 1t gives while it is
fresh, during the daylight hours an
epitome of the worlds happenings. It
gives all Maury county news that is
fit to print; It furnishes the farmers
and stock men of the county their
market reports by wire direct from
the great stock yards. 1t chronicles
the births, notes the marriages and
records the deaths of the sons and
daughter of old Maury and in short
it is daily history of the world, the
nation and the county and city.
