Address |. P. .BELLAH, General Agent,
. Nashville, Tenn.

Columbia. Since the beginning of
the school term only two cases have
been reported, which is really less
than the average for these diseases.
Although the situation is entirely
satisfactory, Supt. R. l.. Harris of the
City Schools, Dr. Biddle and all ply
sicians are on guard, and upon the
very first appearance of the disease
in any alarming proportion, steps
will be taken Immediately.
Parents of children in the city
schools need have no fear. DR.. Bid.
die said he feared the reports from
other sections would cause undne
alarm as to the condition, and would
tend toward the keeping of children
from school for no cause whatever.
DIR. Biddle wishes to state most en-
phatically that there is absolutely no
cause for such action. and gives his
word that the matter shall be prompt
ly made public should the disease
reach epidemic proportions in Colum-
bia.

Mclean is over his ears in work just
now. He is preparing his annual re-
port for the department of agricul-
ture in Washington, which will be

the past week.
The work which is being done
throughout the state by the County
Agricultural agent is coming more

ness men of the community, and as
soon as the enormous value of his
work is appreciated, the support
which is given is proportionally in

1t was announced a week ago that
this company had a supply of fuel
that would last>only one week longer.
Practically all the industries in Co.
lumbia which have been threatened
with fuel shortage are listed as es-
sential industries, and as it is the
policy of the Government to see that
industries in this class are supplied
with fuel first it is now thought prob
able that there will be no suspension
of operation, if the strikers return to
work within a reasonable time.

PERRY TAYLOR TALKS
OF MOULDER PROPERTY
CONSIDERS IT ONE OF BEST OIL
PROPOSITIONS NOW BEING
DEVELOPED.

Perry A. Taylor and Jasper Taylor
have returned from Scottsyille, KY,
where they have been for several days
looking after the interests of the
Scottsville Oil Co. and the Moulder
Oil Company interests.
Mr. Taylor states that the drill has
been set on the Moulder property and
that drilling has already started or
would start today as everything was
practically ready when he left the
field last Friday
Two pipe lines rln by and through
the Moulder property. Mr. Taylor
says that on all sides the property is
surrounded by large derricks and that
you can hear the pumps and the drills
going on every side of the property.
There is no doubt about it," said Mr..
Taylor, this Moulder proposition is
the best thing | have ever seen in the
oil fields for sure shot The beauty
about the Scottsville field is that we
only have to drill about three to four
hundred feet to get the oil in paying
quantities, and that the Moulder COM
pany will strike oil in the first hole
they dig, l heven't the least doubt.
