COUNTRY ST0RESI
TO OBSERVE ALL
OF REGULATIONS
SPLENDID SPIRIT OF co-oPERA.
TON is MANIFESTED BY THE
SMALLER MERCHANTS. =
VILLAGES ARE ALL LINED UP
Many Of Them Had Not Received No
tice In Time to Begin Today But
the Schedule of Opening and Closing
viii Be in Force Tomorrow.

Observance of the fuel regulations
is not general over the county as yet
The regulations were put into effect
at Culleoka today. Most of the stores
there, as they are at the other small
villages in the county, carry general
stocks. They are both dry goods and
grocery stores, but it was stated that
the sale Of everything except gro
ceries, meats and milk would cease at
o'clock After and until 6 o'clock
meat and other food stuffs would be
sold, when the stores would be clos
ed None of the stores will open un-
til nine o'clock.
At several of the other small places
in the county there was no definite
program for observance and the mer-
chants in many instances seemed to
be in ignorance of the regulations
while more than one intimated that
as they burned wood they did not
think they would come within the re-
strictions. This. however, makes no
sort of difference as the regional com.
mittee has held in the case or hydro
electric power. Everywhere, however,
the merchants who were interviewed
agreed that they would make every ef-
fort to comply with any regulation Of
Uncle SAM
At Santa Fe the observance of reg
ulations had not commenced today
but it was stated that the merchants
would cooperate with the authorities
in any regulation r. S. Church ait
Carriers Creek stated that the post Of
flee being located in his store it would
not be possible to close until the last
mail at o'clock, but that any reguls/
tion of the government in sales woya
of course be observed.
There is everywhere manifet the
finest possible disposition 10 MAKE
sacrifices and aid in evhy reasohap'e'
way to solve the pressed problem OF
fuel shortage. Just as he people Or
Maury county went ovt the top in
the great war emergency at every call
so they are going to do teir whole du'

The stores at Hampshire will all be-

Orders Pile Up
While Mills Are y
Run HaF Time

Finding it almost jimpossible to Sc
cure cord wood, and with the bottom
of the coal bin showing more plain
ly each day, Columbia's Touring
mills are on the very verge of having
to suspend operations entirely. They
have already cut down fifty per cent,
and have been operating on this ba-
sis for some time. When it became
necessary to cut out night work the
mills already had orders ahead to
keep them running for weeks, and
these orders have been accommodating
since that time and the mills are now
almost swamped. Some of these
orders that have been received with
in the past few days no doubt were
sent here because of the inability OF
other mills throughout the country to
supply the demand
Other manufacturing plants of the
city are running on day to day"
schedule, barely knowing from one
day to another how much longer they
will be able to run. Some industries
have been making strenuous efforts
to purchase cord wood in Lawrence
county. but in addition to the in
creased expense, the supply of this
fuel is said to be wholly undependa-
BILE.

TO ORGANIZE
TEACHERS OF
MAURY COUNTY
QUESTION OF APPLICATION WITH
STATE ASSOCIATION TO BE
DISCUSSED.
AT the MEETING ON SATURDAY
Proposed Plan Has Approval of State
Board of Education and Representa-
tive viii Probably Be Here to Talk
Over Matter.

An effert will be made at the regu-
lar meeting of the Maury county
teachers on next Saturday to organ
iZe teachers association for the
county to be affiliated with the state
teachers organization which will be
perfected at the meeting of teachers
to be held in Nashville on january
IA. 1t is probable that representa-.
tive of the state department of eduea
tion will be in Columbia Saturday to
discuss the proposed teachers organ
ization with the teachers. The organ.
ization that is planned is wholly differ
ent from anw heretofore in vogue
since the county organizations will be
the units of the state organization
The annual state meeting will be made
up of delegates elect ed by the county
organizations.
The proposed organization was
launched at the meeting of East Ten
nessee teachers in Knoxville last
month and has been formally endors
ed by the state board of education
1t is distinctly understood that the
teachers association will not affiliate
with any other organization, fedora
tion or union and that under no Cir
cumstances will it ever countenance
in any way the strike. The state
board would encourage the organiza
tion to have the highest ideals of ser
vice to the people of the state. The
teachers are to be regarded as officers
with a duty to the state that is always
above any duty that they may owe tc
any segment of society.
In addition to the qestion of organ
ization the teachers will discuss the
program arranged for the last meet
ing and which was not held because
of the inclement weather. Miss Grace
O'Callaghan will discuss music in the
schools while Miss Mary z. Sowel
will lead the discussion of drawing.

GIVES HIGH PRAISE
TO THE COUNTY HIGH

Prof. Samuel L. Smith, of the state
department of public instruction,
spent Tuesday afternoon at the Coun.
ty High School with superintendent
Harris, going over the equipment,
watching the pupils at class and gen
orally inspecting the work of the in
stitution. He declared that he did not
think that there was an institution in
Tennessee that was doing better work
than the Maury County High School.
He was enthusiastic over the work be-
ing done by the pupils, their spirit,
the fine discipline that was maintain
ed and the neat condition of the school
building. Prof. Smith spoke in the
most complimentary terms of Prof.
Harris.
In fact said Prof. Smith. "Maury
county is ineed most fortunate. There
is no better county superintendent in
Tennessee than Prof. John P. Ora
ham. No superintendent stands high
er with the state department than
Graham. We can always depend upon
him. And there is no city superintend-
ent who is better fitted for the job
than Harris. The harmonious rela-
tons existing between the city and
county schools and the state depart
ment are all factors that make for
success
Prof. Smith left last night for Lew
isburg.

WITH NEARLY A SCORE TO RE-
PORT IN ASSOCIATION AS

SURE TO GO OVER THE TOP
Dr.. Barber Is Confident That Friend
ship Church at CulIeoka Will Meet
It's Deficit While Others Are Adding
to Subscriptions.

That the churches of the Ebenezer
Baptist Association, which embraces
Maury county, will go over the top be-
fore the end of the seyenty-five million
dollar campaign on next Sunday is as
sured. Four additional churches to-
gether with supplemental reports from
two others heretofore reported have
added $3,13650 to the total of $40,637
reported on Monday, making grand
total from the fourteen churches of
| $43,750 on the assessment of $49,206
There are still seventeen churches
| from which reports have not been re-
ceived. If they do anything Like as
well as the churches that have report
ed there will be big oversurplus
when the drive ends on Sunday.
| DR.. John H, Barber, the pastor, is
confident that at least a substantial
sum will be added to the total for the
First church here. He is also sure
! that a number of the churches which
have heretofore reported will substan-
| TALLY increase their subscriptions.
He is expecting big addition at
| Friendship church at Culleoka where
only $4,000 of a $4,000 assessment has

DR.. Barber will go to Culleoka on

strike has been brought home to Co.
lumbia. Last night the streets of the
city had war time appearance that
they had not borne since the breaking
of the Wanted Hindenburg line by
the boys of the Old Hickory division.
The streets were in complete dark.
ness The glittering of electric signs,
the white way, the show windows and
those lights that mean so much to the
life of any city were dark There
were few people on the streets. Stores
were closed. 1t was impossible to buy
cigar, a soft drink or almost any
thing else in the city. Columbia
merchants are obeying the order OF
the Regional Coal Committee. b
Although the general order was sup
posed to go into effect throughout the
South Monday morning, it was not to
have been enforced in Columbia until
today, but practically every store in
the city closed their doors at O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon, and kept them
closed until 9 o'clock this morning
OF course drug stores kept open for
the purpose of dispensing drugs, as
they are permitted to do. There are
In the city quite a number of cigar
stands that might operate with no ad-
ditional heat, and with one extra
light, but these, too. are included in
the order and must close.
This morning some of the early ris-
ers were disappointed when they went
to breakfast, or ventred out on the
street. They missed their co-labor-
ers, and business acquaintance.
Where were they? In bed keeping
warm, of course. Why should they get
out of good warm bed until o'clock
if they do not have to be at work un.
til o'clock?
There has been some question as to
the time business stores would be per-
mitted to remain open The original
order of the coal committee did not
except the grocery stores from the
general closing order, and hours from
9 a. m. to 4 p. m. were fixed, but upon
investigation of the need of grocery
stores remaining open the committee
decided to extend the time in the aft
ernoon for grocery stores, milk de-
pots, and meat shops until o'clock
p. m, therefore the hours will be from
8 a. IN. to o'clock p. M, with the ex-
ception of Saturday when such places
may remain open until o'clock p. m.
Laundries and cleaning plants, be-
ing essential to the public health have
been exempted from the general or
| der, and may operate upon the pres
ent schedule, if in the event it does
not operate more than As hours per
| week
and other perlshable food products
are exempted from the order so far as
is necessary in the conduct of their
business.
Since the issuance of the closing no.
tice by Mayor Dedman yesterday The
Herald has been literally beseiged
with telephone calls, asking for adj
ditional information concerning the
order. All those who are in doubt as
to permissibility to remain open under
the order should call Mayor Dedman,
who will be glad to explain in detail
the workings of the new order.
