LARGE COLLECTIONS
FROM ROAD TAXES
BUT LIST OF DELiNQUENTS NEXT
WEEK WILL BE A LARGE
ONE. ~

Twenty.four hundred road commu-
tation taxes have been paid in the
county up to date. This is revenue
of $4,000 but it is estimated that not
more than half of the male population
liable for the payment OF this tax
has paid it. However, the number
paying is about double that of any
previous year and tits thought that
before next Wednesday, the last date
upon which the tax will be accepted
at least hundred more will have
paid. Since the publication in The
Herald that the road commission
would not permit the payment of the
tax after September II, number have
paid and more interest has been man.
ifested than heretofore.
The list of the delinquents will be
placed in the hands of the district
road commissioners after the expira-
tion of the time limit and they will be
duly warned to work their time out
on the roads. Many who have not
paid the Communication tax have al
ready worked their time out on the
roads and of course they have receipts
and will not be classed as delinquents.

DISEASED ANIMALS
ARE SOLD FOR MEAT
TO COLUMBIA BUTCHERS
DR.. J. L. VOORHEES, MAKES START.
LING DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MEAT CONDITIONS.
DOES NOT BLAME BUTCHERS
Who Exercise All Care Possible, But
Says Fault Is With Persons Selling
Diseased Acknowledgements Coun.
ty Inspector.

Grossly diseased cattle, sheep and
hogs have been found recently in
slaughter pens about Columbia by DR.
]. l.. VOORHEES,, county health officer,
according to statement made by
him to The Herald. DR.. Voorhies told
of number of instances in which he
had been called by local butchers to
inspect live stock that had been sold
to them. He said that frequently the
butchers buy stock without seeing it
before it is delivered and after it is
butchered they discover that it is
diseased or otherwise unfit for human
consumption. 1t is not doubted but
tnat sometimes such animals escape
the notice of the butchers and are sold
to the people of Columbia.
DR.. VOORHEES, placed no blame upon
the butchers but condemned the per
sons who sell such animals to be used
for meat He said that he had assur
ances that in almost every instance
such diseased animals had been sold
with full knowledge of their condi
tion by the persons selling them
Whenever the proprietors of the shops
discover what they have bought OF
are in doubt about its condition they
call on him for an inspection, although
it is not his duty to make such inspec
tions.
That conditions are such that there
should be a county meat inspector, is
the conclusion of DIR. Voorhies. His
experiences are shown him that the
public health demands a meat inspec
tor and he has suggested that il
should be arranged that every person
selling an animal for consumption
here as meat or the person having
such animal slaughtered should be re
quired to pay small fee sufficient &c
compensate the inspector.

w. O. Cherry announced this morn
ing the complete aldermanic ticket
that will make the race with him in
the municipal election to be held in
October.
Although no statement as to the
platform of this ticket was made, Mr.
Cherry said:
I've will stand for the enforcement
of ali laws without partiality to any
one"
1t was stated this morning that this
ticket had been formed for several
weeks, but announcement of 1t had
been Withheld because of probable
changes, at least three of the candi-
dates taking the attitude that If any
one else desired to run on the ticket
they would not enter their names.
Mr.. Cherry and his supporters feel
that in announcing the names of this
aldermanic ticket they have given the
people of Columbia the lineup for a
city administration personnel that can
be depended upon for businesslike
management of the city's affairs. Mr..
Cherry said that he had assurances
from a number of the leading business
men of the city to serve on an unoffi-
cial board of directors which will con-
fer and counsel with the board OF
mayor and aldermen upon all affairs
of public business. He said that it Is
his intention to make the city govern
ment under his administration one
that will be close to the people and
responsive to the wishes of the tax
payers and citizens generally.
Mr. Cherry has been alderman from
the First ward for eight years and
during his last term was frequently
outspoken in his opposition to some OF
the policies of the present admins
tration. Recent political develop
ments indicated that he is candidate
virtually as an anti-administration or
anti-Dedman leader
This morning there had been no an
nouncement of a ticket in opposition
to the Cherry ticket and apparently no
nucleus of ticket had been formed.
But it was rumored that there will
soon be another complete ticket with
the possibility of spirited race Tor
the honor of administering the affairs
of the city for the next two years.

LICHTEST VOTE IN HISTORY

DAILY Herald, September A.

DAILY Herald, September A.
Less than hundred votes had been
cast at the court house, the biggest
voting place in the county at noon
today. This gives pretty fair indi-
cation of the general lack of interest
in todays election to determine wheth-
er or not Tennessee is to have con-
stitutional convention
The one distinct and novel feature
of the election is that for the first
time in the history of Maury county
women are serving as officers. AT
the court house Misses Carolyne Will

capably officiating as clerks, although
of course, due to the light vote, they
have no very difficult task today. At

Fox Hunters To
Hold Next Meet
At Grab Orchard

For the first time in four years the
National Fox Hunters Association
will not hold their annual meet at Co.
lumbia.
Crab Orchard Springs, KY, was Sc.
lected Wednesday by the executive
committee of the association, in ses.
sion at Lexington, KY, as the next
meeting place
This information was received in a
telegram to w. P. Erwin, vice-presi-
dent, from ]. d, Chenault of Rich
mond, KY, president of the asso-
citation. Mr.. Erwin stated that the
same invitation that was extended the
fox hunters last year was repeated
this year, but that evidently the peo-
pie of Crab Orchard, KY, had made
a more attractive proposition. The
movement to have the meet at Nash
vile or some other larger city, evil
dently failed to gain sufficient
strength to attract the sportsmen.
Invitations have been extended by
the association to fox hunters Of
every state in the union to bring
their families and dogs to enjoy a
week of hunting in the hills Of Ken
lucky. The meet probaE will be the
third week in November.

In only few precincts is an cleo
tion being held and it is doubtful II
there are 500 votes cast in the entire
county From indications here and
reports from the few districts having
any election, it is fairly certain that a

No one is working for or against a

 NIT. Gallivan was expressing resent ment of the New England troops, com prising the Yankee division, of which resentment The Age-Herald has pre- viously printed reports This division was one of the first to go, and one of the most gallant of all who went. It is now shot to pieces and stranded" somewhere in France. It's commanding officer, General Edwards, was, on the eve of the armistice, returned to the United States because, in the language of Gallivan, "a fine place, after the storm of battle, was desired for a West Point pet who had never smelled gunpowder. and who would run away from baked apple tossed in his direc- tion."
 MT. Gallivan quoted a chief of staff as telling General Edwards national guardsman, that unless you get those guardsmen we will get you" He stat ed, that Edwards was "got' because he refused to do the dirty work of the regular army officers. In this connec- tion, member of Congress, following 2 the Gallivan speech. told the represen- tative of The Age-Herald another ver- sion of why they got Edwards" This member recently returned from France. He was not speaking for pub lication-because the subject, as yet. is one of great delicacy. In effect he said:
 "Pershing wants to be President. Let that be understood He saw the com ing of peace. He knew that all great commanders save Scott have been elected to the highest possible gift of the American people. Therefore, he ordered American boys through the Argonne forest.
 The French had refused to send their troops into this death pit-solely on acconnt of the number of lives it would cost. General Edwards pro- tested. His men had fought continu- ously since 1917, and had suffered heavy casualties. He strongly ad- vised against the undertagking.
 "He was relieved and his men or dered into battle. They were shot to pieces just as all other American di- visions were shot to pieces. So disas- trous was the fate of the Yankee di- vision that it's new commanding gen. eral, ordered to take part in the oc- cupation of Germany, reported. after an examination, that his troops were
