WILSON D. HOLMAN
DIES FROM WOUNDS
RECEIVED IN FRANCE
ANOTHER MAURY COUNTY BOY
MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE
FOR HIS COUNTRY.
WAS MEMBER OF BATTERY |
Re.EnIlsted After Return From Bor-
der With First Tennessee-Young
Hero Was Manly Character and
Highly Esteemed by All.

Another Maury county boy has Civ
en- his life for his country and an
other golden star has been added to
this county's service flag of sacrifice
Wilson d. Holman, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. RUDE Holman, residing on the
Iron Bridge road about two and half
miles from town, died from wounds
received July Is. according to an Of
fetal telegram received Saturday
evening by his parents.
Young Holman was about Il years
of age and had been in the service
of his country almost continuously
since the Mexican border disturbance
in 1916, when he enlisted in Company
B of the First Tennessee National
Guards. Upon the return of that regi-
ment to Tennessee he was discharged
because of dependents but upon the
entrance of the United States into the
European war he re-enlisted in Bat
terry F, 114th Field Artillery, and was
detailed as a cook 1t is not known
what the nature of his wound was nor
how it was received.
There has been no information in
dicating that the 114th artillery had
been in an engagement on July IS, so
1t is supposed here that he was
wounded by a shell that fell behind
the actual fighting line. The official
message gave no further information
than that he had died from wounds,
His name had not been observed in
casualty lists published heretofore.
Besides his parents, young Holman
is survived by two sisters, Mrs Lu
Their Jones and Miss Rubie Holman,
and one younger brother, Louis Hol-
man. He was we'll known in Column
bia and had "a host of friends here
who admired his manly character and
the patriotism that prompted him to
volunteer long before his time for SER
vice would have come. Members of
the family and friends will await
with contrite hearts the receipt of let
ters or further information relative TO
the manner of his death. He died for
his country, which is the highest trjjii
butte that could be paid to any man.

Orvie Overall, former Cub pitcher in the halcyon days of Frank Chance and at varying times a rice planter, soldier of fortune, oil magnate, instructor in baseball at his own school, a football coach and football idol of the Univer- sity of California, has thought up a new wrinkle to add to his exploits.
 Orvie wants to blossom forth as sheriff in Visalia. That piece of plate with the sun refecting brightly from it's glistening surface belongs on Or vfe's chest, in the opinion of one Orvie Overall. In short, the Cub pitcher wants to have it Overall the natives of Yisalia.

Professor Young of Cornell Blanca, Spontaneous Exertion for Bad Re- sults-Length of Race Given
 as Objectionable.

The records in the department Of physical culture at Cornell university do not show that any of the OarsInen who have rowed in Courtney's crews have ever suffered from heart traable brought on by rowing. In fact. Prof. Charles V. P. Young, head of the phys ical department. asserts that the Cor nell oarsmen, physically, are the best type of men developed. He says that enlargement of the heart caused bg athletics is not itself a danger and does not think that the contention taae rowing iniures the heart is sound.
 Danger From Rowing.
 In refutation Mr. Young presents the following argument:
 "The danger from rowing, as from most other strenuous forms Of actie- ity, comes from the improper prepara tion and too sudden disconunuanee Of active exercise. From my observation of it's effects upon Cornell oarsnen 2 should say that physically they are the best type of men turned out and the statistics which are available, if they be desired corroborate this statement  These statistics will also prove fn & great measure that the oarsman has the promise of longer life than the average student.
 "In this connection it might be men, toned that at the fortieth anniversars of the founding of Cornell university every member of her first victorious crew of 'T5 WAS present and looked if to take his place in the boat and com pete with any crew of similar age which might be gathered together.
 Length of Race Objectionable.
 "To my mind the objection to inter- collegiate rowing, as at present con dueted, is the length of the race. While the same danger arises from a two or three-miIe race, if not properly pre- pared for, the period Qf training need not be so extended, and think an 6hE coaches connected with rowing, klE Courtney among the number, are as one in saying that the present dIs- tanee of four miles requires too boRg and arduous a period of training 1oR those who are supposed to be attend ing the institution primarily for study
