and last for three days.

tend the sessions of the convention
In short time arrangements will
have to be made by the business men
Of the city to provide accommoda
tions for so large crowd, the larg-
est that will have come from dis.
lance to Columbia in several years.
1t has been feared that the cutting
out of passes on the railroads would
adversely affect the attendance at
Farmers Institutes but the experience
of East Tennessee shows that this is
not the case Farmers came in large
numbers from all over that section to
the convention at Knoxville in their
automobiles. 1t is expected that this
will be the case in Columbia.
The sessions of the convention will
be held at the, Columbia Military
Academy, on property adjoining the
Middle Tennessee Experiment station,
now being developed. The Farmers
will be given an opportunity to go
over and view the station.
1t is planned to make the formal
delivery of the deed to the station
property, the feature of one day of
the convention. Gov. Tom c. Rye,

IN COUNTY s0F .MAURY
SEVERAL MERCHANTS HAVE AL
READY SIGNIFiED WiLLiNG-
NESS TO DO so.

That Maury county will join the
roll of honor of counties that will dis
continue the sale of flour until after
the new harvest is available for ex-
port seems assured. Several of the
leading merchants of Columbia have
already agreed that they would dis
continue the sale of this unnecessary
article of food at home, but vital com.
modify for the winning of the war.
After Sundays appeal has been
made from every pulpit and in every
Sunday school in the state County
Food Administrator John P. Graham
will call meeting of the retailers
and millers of flour and urge them to
enter into an agreement to dscon-
tinue its sales.
Nearly every county adjoining
Maury has gone over the top in stop
ping flour sales. Hickman county
was the first in the state to signify its
willingness to stop. Williamson
county soon followed suit and then
came Marshall and already the move
ment is under good Roadway in Giles
with every prospect of success.
Already number Of the merchants
of Columbia have stopped accepting
certificates and require the purchase
of an equal amount of flour substi-
tutes with every purchase of flour.

JUDGE TURNER'S
STRONG CHARGE :
TO GRAND JURY
URGES DlLIGENT INQUIRY INTO
ALL sEDITiouS TALK AND 4
ANNOUNCEMENT ACTS. *
THE SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
Two Cases Of Supreme Court Cited
Which Held That II Was Unlawful
to Operate Moving Picture Show
and Blacksmith Shop. -

Judge Turner in his charge to the
grand jury covered practically every
character OF law breaking in the cate
CORY, but he laid particular stress
upon the Sunday closing law In his
charge he cited two decisions of the
supreme court, in which instances
this body of law enforcing power
held that 1t was unlawful for black
smith to keep his shop open on Sun
day and work. In the other case Ii
was where a moving picture house
was kept open and operated on Sun,
day, in which case the higher courtal
held that it was in violation of the
law of the land. &y.'
Judge Turner in his charge stated
that 1t was not the sale of any partitH-s
lar article, but the fact that house
of business was kept open for the
purpose of making money was In vio-si
lation of the law. That any place Of
business kept open ON Sunday where
1T was not for the purpose of serving
the public in necessary way, wasA
so opened in violation of the law, and
instructed the jury to inquire diligent.
ly into all cases. IIe cited to Them
what necessary steps should be taken
to inquire into all such cases. *
Judge Turner was also very stronge
In his charge to the jury in regard to
inquiring into all sediti0us talk or
acts against the federal government
and stated that the grand jury had
inquisitorial power into all such mat
tiers and urged that the Jury az q
body take particular steps to see
that all sedtion and conspiracy OF
any character be thoroughly investi-,
gated.
The usual charge was given about
boot Logging, pistol toting, murder,
and such like offenses. He causally
referred to the dog law and most ur-
gently requested that the jury pay
strict attention to the food conser-
walton regulations, animal industry.

BOMBARDMENT INSURANCE
FINDS FEW BUYERS HERE
Philadephan Aren't Worrying About German Air Raids
U-Boat Shelling-Fac Is Answer to Attempt
to Terrorize Off Coast

DHILADELPHIANS aren't worrying
l. about the possibility of being bonn
barded by German submarines or raided
by invading airplanes.
This is evidenced by the fact that
there are plenty of insurance agents in
this city who are waiting-and have
been waiting--to insure local properties
against bombardment or explosion at the
rate of eight cents per 800. %.
Evidently this class of war risk in
surance is not wanted by residents of
this city and, incidentally. this is an
other blow at "kultur," which expected
to frighten Americans by sinking a few
barks off the coast. At least, this is
the opinion of the insurance agents who
have been trying to sell war risk in
surance to any person who wanted it.
The demand for this insurance is
very conspicuous by its absence. A
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-08-03

few policies have been sod-out only a
few.
In many insurance offices in lower
Walnut street there are signs-which
cost perfectly good money-announcing
''Explosion, bombardment and war risk
insurance sold here" but the printing
of the signs was wastefulness, in several
ways-money, ink, paper and time
the insurance agents now believe.
One or two local factory owners have
taken the precaution to insure their
plants against damage by bombardment
from air or land. In New York. the
local insurance men say, there is quite
a demand for war-risk insurance. But
here in Philadelphia, where City Hall
has ears" that can hear the approach
of an airplane some ten miles away,
che thoughts of the populace are on any
thing but bombardments
It's possible, but very improbable" is
tho opinion of Philadelphians.
