MUST FURNISH WAGONS
AND TEAMS ROAD WORK
SUPREME COURT UPHoLDS coUN-
TY LAWs-FEED OF ANIMALS
is NOT COMPULSORY.
By w. H. SWIGGART, JR.

NASHVILLE, March 25.-The SUI
preme court Saturday rendered an i'm
portant decision affecting the road
laws of number of the counties of
the state, including the counties OF
Marshall, Maury. Giles, Sumner, Lin
coin and Madison. The court upheld
the constitutionality of the statute
provision that any person owning
wagons and teams shall be required
to furnish them for road work the full
number of days required to work a
district road, without compensation.
The question arose in the case of r.
Galloway VS.. State, from Marshall
county, in which Galloway was con-
victed of misdemeanor for refusing
to furnish his wagon and team for
road work on notice from the road
overseer.
The constitutionality of the require
ment was attacked on the ground that
it constituted a taking of private
property for public use without COM
pensation. In overruling this conten-
ton the court reviewed the history
of the requirement that every citizen
may be required to contribute his own
labor toward the building and repair
of the public roads, the requirement
dating back to the earliest law of the
Saxons in England. The court stated
that at an early date in English his
/ tory the inhabitants and occupiers OF
lands were required to labor on the
roads six days in every year, and to
! furnish their own utensils and tools
with which to perform the labor. In
4 the early days Of this country it was
required that all owners of slaves
send their male servants to work the
district roads.
The court held that the conscrip.
ton of a wagon and team for temp
orary service on the public roads was
not taking" of property within the
meaning of the constitution, and was
no greater requirement of the citizen
than the CONSUMPTION of his labor
both requirements being upheld under
the innhenrent police power of the
state for the promotion of safety, or
der and comfort of society within it's
borders.
The court further held that re
quirement of the statute that the own,
ei' should furnish the necessary feed
for the teams while engaged in work
was void, since it was an appropria
ton of property without compensa
ton. the feed being consumed in the
use and not returned to the owner, as
in the case of the wagon and team
1t was held. however, that the provis
ion should be elided from the statute
and the remainder of the statute up
held. The opinion of the court in the
case was prepared and delivered by
Justice Williams.

Boys Wanted For Farm Labor
In Maury County To Be Enrolled

munitions plants and war industries
having attracted, by higher wages,
MANY workers who had formerly been
available for agricultural work.
Not "Experts"-5ut Get Results
The difficulty that at once suggests
itself is that it Is too late for such
camps in Tennessee for this years
crop. but they can be trained on the
farm. They won't be as skilled as
men whose lives have been spent on
the farm. 1t would be absurd to ex'
pect such a thing. The farm-camp
boys last year were not, and the ones
this year will not be, expert agricul'
turalists any more than their elder
brothers left the military training
camps possessed Of all the skill and
soldierly wisdom OF seasoned, veterass
campaigners. But the camp boys last
wear filled the bill, in the great ma
iority of cases. Men Of farm expsr-
fence would have been preferable,
naturally. But the boys saved crops
that otherwise could not have been
sayed-and that is the object In the
present emergency. 1t isn't a time
to bubble over what is the ideal
farm-labor supply. 1t isn't a time to
delay because of niceties of prefer
ence as to the kind Of labor we would
like to have. II is just plain propo-
sition of getting the sort of labor we
CAN. To win the war we must make
and save the crops and we'll have to
do that with the help that is available
under war conditions.
Prof. r. L. Harris has been ap-
pointed director Of the Boys Working
reserve in Maury county. He wants
volunteers to enroll for seasons
work on farms in this country when
they are called. School boys and boys
who are working at odd jobs about
the city are wanted. They will not
be sent far from home and will be
employed only by farmers who need
them and want them.

FLEMING LOOKS TO

SATURDAY ELECTION
BOTH CANDIDATES ARE CLAIM.
ING THE NOMINATION FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
OFFICIAL COUNT NEXT MONDAY
Charges of Fraud Are Made on Both
Sides--Fleming Carries Three OF
the Four counties--Given Good
Vote at Home.

The Herald office remained open
Saturday night until nearly twelve
O'Clock hoping to get some definite
news as TO who was the nominee Tor
attorney general Of the Eleventh Judi
,cial circuit, but in vain. At the hour
of closing both candidates were claim
ing the nomination, and up to the
present time both are still claiming
the right to make the race in the gen
eral election next August.
Fleming's majority in this county
lis S75. The court house giving him a
majority of over five hundred. Flem-
ing lost Santa Fe, Fly's Store, Water
Valley, Parks Store, SCOTS Mill,
Sandy Hook and Neapolis. At Steph-
enson's Store, the Zion neighborhood,
he got every vote polled except one.
He carried Glendale solid, Leftwich
solid and Taylors Store solid, and at
Spring Hill he received "a votes to
his opponents 2.
The first reports coming in from
Giles county showed that Fleming
had lost the county by seven votes.
This was later changed to a majority
of one for Fleming and later on to IS
for Fleming and now it looks as IL
Fleming had carried the county by 40
to so votes.
Fleming's majority in Wayne is
claimed to be &c. and with this claim
substantiated, and giving Lawrence
county to l.. B. White, by a majority
of $50, it gives the nomination tf
Fleming by a majority of 100. Every
thing points that Fleming will go into
Lawrence with a majority Of not less
than $50.
Attorney General Fleming wher
seen this morning by Herald re
porter gave out the following state
ment:
81 have the returns from reliable
sources and l am confident that
have been nominated for attorne!
general by not less than 100 votes II
any event.
"The committee will canvas the re
turns on Monday next and in thu
meantime, the poll lists, tally sheets
and ballots are in the hands of rep
resentative democrats.
"W. s. FLEMING, Jr."
1t has been rumored that a grea
deal of fraud had been practiced II

in Lawrence. Both sides have chare

precincts in Lawrence county, an

munity, was voted.
These statements are all rumors
and no positive verifications hav
been furnished.
The official canvas Of the votes
which will take place in Columbi
next Monday, will determine the right

Comparative Scores
By Local High Teams;
Hard Game Thursday

well as in number of games won,
Tech shows superior work.
Game on Its Merits
But according to the Central fol-
lowers there is not much in COM
parative scores, and Thursday nights
contest will have to be fought out
on its own merits. In Noble Frank,
Central has the highest individual
scores in the league. To begin with,
he can be counted upon for a score
of points from the foul line, to say
nothing of the field goals that will
be his. In Fields, Central has one of
the best guards in the league.
Just how the teams will line up is
doubtful, but it is probable that
Fields will be given the. task of hold
ing Captain Huston in check, with
Captain Wolf on Lingle's heels. Just
what arrangements will be made for
taking care of the Central forwards
has not been as yet ascertained, but
likely it is that Carl Beck's forward
will have to do some defensive play
ing to hold the Tech star from scor-
ing. Beck is one of the best scoring
guards in the league, and will have
to be watched at all times. Against
Captain Coleman he tossed in seven
field goals during the game and held
lHe oltellOn prayer 10 llO SOdlS.
Battle at Center
A battle royal will be waged at the
center position. Tony Wilsbach
will be pitted against Frank at the
pivotal position, and the two big
boys will have little battle of their
own for individual honors. 1t will
be Techs game and the Maroon
management is preparing for rec
ord crowd to be handled at the door.
Tech will have to win to keep undis-
puted possession of first place. A
victory will almost assure Coach Mil
ler's team of its first pennant. Then,
too. there is the Diener trophy, which
will go to the team winning the best
out of three. Should either team
win the first two games, a third will
not be played. In case of a tie, the
third contest will take place at
Chestnut street hall March 20.

Attacks Wild Game Law;
Speaker Starts Trouble

New York, March 6.-Dr. E. w.
Nelson, chief of the United States
Bureau of Biological Survey, one of
the speakers at the convention of
the American Game Protective Asso-
citation here, attacked the louisiana
law, which permits the killing of
wild geese and ducks for market.
This law has long been the subject
of bitter attack from Canada to the
gulf.
Interrrupting M. Alexander, game
commissioner of Louisiana, who was
explaining motion pictures of mi
grating fowl, feeding in the marshes
of that state, DIR. Nelson, asked:
IF you slaughter hundreds of
thousands of these fowl in Louisi-
ana in winter for food, why wouldn't
it be just as fair for Canada to put
hundreds of thousands of their eggs
in cold storage for food in nesting
time? At that rate how long would
it be before every other state in the
Union would be without these mi
gratory birds?"
Mr.. Alexander defended the law
of his state by saying that the num-
ber of wild fowl killed this season
had been reduced to 100000 from
100000 last season, and that Louis
lana was fighting hard to turn its
residents from the belief of genera
tions, that they have right to kill
and eat the game"
DR.. William II. Hornaday, trustee
of the American Wild Life Protec.
ton fund, said he realized the diff.
Guilty of establishing radical reforms
and complimented the Louisiana
commissioner for accomplishing a,
much as he had.

sociation, and DIR. Gordon Hewitt

He said Hoppe had been in consul
tation with an oculist for some time.
Hopes hands are said to be in
sured for 100000. Whether or not
his eyes are so insured has had no
publicity as yet.
The Phillies will leave for the
South March Is, and will be follow
ed the next day by the Athletics,
who will depart for their camp at
Jacksonville. Manager Mack hopes
to announce the makeup of his team
before leaving. He says that he is
not worrying about his players. His
worry will come May !, the first pay
day. Any players who do not report
as ordered are not going to give him
concern. He takes the same stand
as Mr.. Baker that the players must
understand that they will have to
be reasonable in their demands.
Connie says any players who do not
report will be counted out and their
places filled by others. The players
who do not play, he says. he will
not have to pay, so he is not going
to worry about them.
Harrisburg has a big booster in
P. G. Diener, local jeweler. He

ors. Tomorrow night the local high

Diener offers this prize. He has al
ways been a strong booster for clean

Dillon Takes Punishment
From Pittsburgh Fighter

Toledo, o., March 6.-Jack Dill
lon, the Indianapolis middleweight-
sustained his reputation of never
having been knocked down last
night in IL rounds with Harry Greb,
of Pittsburgh. Dillon took a mill
lien blows and stood up under all
of them. He never got to the fast
Pittsburgh boxer.
Dillon's conduct in the ring was
in vast contrast to his former work.
He struck just eight times and none
of these was of sufficient strength
to stagger Greb. Dillon was in ap-
parently good condition. He had
trained hard for the bout. Both
men fought at catch weights and
boxing commissioners announced
that only two pounds difference ex-
listed in Dillon's favor when the pair
weighed in this afternoon.

New Glass Eyes
Can Move and Wink

British army surgeon describes
an improved glass eye which can
move. The chief drawbacks to the
ordinary glass eye are that, being
simply convex shell of glass, it
tends to sink back into the socket
and is fixed in a stony stare. The
new device gets over these difficult
ties by placing in the socket of the
eye a sphere of living cartilage or
gristle taken without risk from the
patients ribs. 1t is all one opera
tion.
While one surgeon removes the de-
stroyed eye, another surgeon removes
the pieces of cartilage from. near the
patients breastbone. Two pieces are
made into a little globe. which is
placed in the socket, and the thin
outer covering of the eye. the con-
Junctiva, is sewn over to hold 1t in
place. The ordinary glass eye shell
is inserted over this and is prevented
from sinking backward Some move
ment of the eye by the wearer is
said to be possible.-Argonaut.
