BISCUITS FROM
DIMPLE EATEN
BY PRESIDENT
MRS. NICHOLS COOKING so GOOD
THAT THE PRESIDENT ATE
THREE AT LUNCHEON.
IMPROVES HIS APPETITE TOO
Mrs. Wilson Writes Columbia's Fam
ed Baker Note of Appreciation
For the Pleasure that She Gave
Nations Sick Executive.

President Woodrow Wilson ate
three beaten biscuits made by Mrs
George w. Nichols, the we'll known
Columbia culinary artist, last week
and enjoyed them very much. They
were so good, that despite his illness
he could not resist the temptation
to eat three for luncheon
This information is contained in a
letter which Mrs. Nichols received
from Edith Benham, the secretary to
Mrs. Wilson. Miss Benham's letter
to Mrs. Nichols follows
"The White House. Washington,
October %, 1919. Mrs. George w.
Nichols, Columbia, Tennessee:
"My dear Mrs. Nichols: Mrs. Viii.
son has asked me to let you know
that the president had some of your
delicious beaten biscuit yesterday for
his luncheon and enjoyed them very
much. He ate three, which is doing
very well, for he has very little appe-
tite, so you see how good things have
tempted him. Mrs. Wilson has asked
me to thank you again for sending
them and for your kindly solicitude
for him. Very sincerely yours,
EDITH BENHAM, Secretary"
The following letter of thanks and
appreciation was received by Mrs.
Nichols from Secretary Tumulty:
my dear Mrs. Nichols: Many
thanks for your note and for your
courtesy in sending the beaten bis
cult for the president. / have had
pleasure in sending them to him.
With the assurance that your friend
ly solicitude and good will are much
appreciated, | am.
Sincerely yours, ETC."

BOOK SHORTAGE IN
COUNTY CONTINUES
STILL DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN
MANY OF THE TEXTS RE-
GENTLY ADOPTED.

Difficulty is still being experteuced
In getting text books for the pub
lie schools. Some of practically all
of the books adopted by the state
have been received here but few of
them have come in sufficient quanti-
ty to supply the demand. There are
still a number of the schools in the
county where very few of the books
have been secured. Anderson Bros
& Foster have made every possible
effort to supply the demand and a
failure to do so has been due to no
fault of theirs. Difficulty in getting
stock and labor on the part of the
publishers is the reason given for the
delay.
County Superintendent Graham is
having a list OF the books In the
course Of study printed for the use
of the teachers of the county. These
will be distributed Ito the teachers
when they meet in regular session on
Saturday.

The decision of attorney General Pal

officials.
An extraordinary session of the

plans for government action to de-

members of the cabinet. Federal
troops will be used for the protection

to go on strike. 38
The central states coal operators
are expected to meet for conferences
in Chicago or Cleveland to make final
plans for meeting the strike. ,Direc-
tor Hines today issued orders which
in effect give the railroad administra.

made public the list of the priority in

MT. PLEASANT
MERCHANTS TO
APPEAR TODAY
BEGIN MAKING ADJUsTMENTSkOF
CLAIMS FOR BACK AD vALo.
REM TAXES.
HAVE NO BASIS OF SETTLEMENT
Each Case viii Be Treated Separate
ly It Is Stated by Counsel for the
State-Columbia Merchants Expect
ed to Act in Same Way.
DAILY Herald, Oct. 3O.)

Several of the leading merchants
of Mt Pleasant are here today to ap-
pear before County Court Clerk Arch
ibald W. Lipscomb to answer a sum-
mons issued at the instance of the
state revenue agent for re-assessment
of their privilege and ad valorem
taxes. A re-assessment or back as.
sessment of the ad valorem taxes of
these merchants is being sought by
the state revenue agent on the ground
that the stocks returned by them dur
ing the current and past three years
have been inadequate
1t had been hoped that a common
basis Of settlement of all claims
against the merchants could be reach
ed by counsel for the revenue agent
and counsel for the taxpayers, but
Mr.. fowler, of counsel for the reve-
nue. agent, stated this morning that
it was not possible to do so. He said
that it had been found that merchants
used different methods in arriving at
the amount of their inventory, and
that therefore one basis for adjust
ment would not be fair to all.
Several of the merchants have ex-
pressed an intention of making an
adjustment, while others may contest
the proceedings. They have been ad-
vised, it is said, by counsel that un-
der existing laws proceedings to back
assess them would not lie But it is
considered very doubtful that any
legal proceedings to test the issue will
be instituted 1t is considered proba-
BILE that final adjustments will be
made in all cases. 1t is impossible
to estimate the amount involved, but
it is not improbable that taxes aggre-
eating $4,000 represents the differ
ence between the contention of the
state and that of the merchants.
The merchants of Columbia will be-
gin appearing before the clerk and
making settlements at once.
State Revenue Agent Lonnie Ormes
will not be here today and it is said
that he will leave the interests of the
state entirely in the hands of his local
counsel, Thomas H. PEBBLES and Will
liam j. fowler.

AUTO CLUB HEARS
ADDRESS OF PEAY
STATE SECRETARY TALKS TO
THE MAURY COUNTY ROAD
ENTHUSIASTS.

In spite of the bad weather the
Mafry county automobile club held a
very interesting session at the court
house Wednesday night. The feature
of the melting was an address by Sec
retary Peay, of the state association
President Dortch presided and in
troduced Mr.. Peay. He stated that
the Tennessee association was en-
gagged in campaign to prevent the
throwing of glass and tacks on the
roads and streets. He believed the
propaganda undertaken would edu.
cate the people on this subject and
make for better conditions.
The question of the distrikution OF
the membership fees of the local club
was also discussed. 1t is probable
that a considerable portion of the
funds collected will be held in the
treasury here, while a proportion will
be turned over to the. state associa-
tion.
The membership committee report
ed progress. There are now sixty.
three members and this number will
soon be increased to hundred. Very
few who have been asked to join have
refused. The personnel of the mem
bership is unusually high.

ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL GROUNDS
Leach & Hill Old Buggy House Pur-
chased by This Firm--complete
Fire Proof Steel Structure to Be
Ereeted--26,56o Feet Floor Space.

Fry & Jones has closed a deal with
Mrs. T. A. Leach, formerly of this
city, for the old buggy house on North
Main street. formerly known as Leach
& Hills old stand and will in the near
future begin the erection of one of
the largest automobile garages in
the South.
The erection of the new garage will
not in any way interfere with their
business, as the work will be carried
on in such way not to molest the
workmen in the garage, nor in the Of
fees. A complete new plate glass
front OF one hundred feet on North
Main street. giving two entrances to
the garage will be one of the improve
ments. The south wall of the present
garage will be torn out and moved to
the line of the Leach building. Large
massive steel girders and ribbings
will be placed in the building to sup
port the new steel truss roof which
vii be put over the entire building.
The north wall and the east wall
will remain in tact except will posi-
bly, be added to to Accommodate the
roof.
The lot recently bought from II. E.
Ritter will lisa be placed under steel
truss roof building 56x160 feet with
frontage on Sixth street with large
archway from the main building into
the annex building which will be used
exclusively for work shop, making
one of the largest shops in the South.
The present shop, which is 40x60
feet, will be used as a store room.
With the new addition when all is
completed 1t will give this automo-
bile firm afloor space of 26,600 square
feet, possibly one of the largest IL
not the largest garages in the South.
Mr.. Ritter, who recently sold his
home place on this lot has bought
the place on East Ninth street, known
as the c. A. Parker place, from R. L.
Brooks, of Athens, Ala, and will be-
gin moving to his new home about
the first of next week.

ABOUT HALF or
DOC TAXES ARE
PAID IN COUNTY
LITTLE MORE THAN EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED RECEIPTS ISSUED
BY TRUSTEE.
CLAIMS FOR FUNDS ARE FILED
Unless Canine Get on Wild Rampage
Owners of Sheep Killed During the
Past Year vii Be Compensated.
Grand Jury to Act.

Although the November term of the
| circuit court is only little more
than week distant and Judge Tur
ner at the last term gave the warning
OF the dog law, 1t is estimated that
not more than half of the dog owners
have paid their taxes. Only little
more than 1900 tags have been issued
by County Trustee ]. Ross Burns
Something over $4,000 has been col.
lected from this source which is to
date more than the claims that have
been filed by the owners of sheep for
destruction wrought by the dogs.
During the uast month some new
claims have been filed and it is prob
able that before the end of the year
there will be considerable addition
to the number of claims. Several of
the sheep owners of the county have
declared that they are in favor of the
fair enforcement of the law and they
will not hesitate to the give the dis
trict attorney and the grand jury the
names of the owners who have not
paid their dog taxes. A few indict-
ments would unquestionably cause a
considerable rush to pay the taxes.
At the end of the year the trustee
will pay the claims that have been
duly proven by the sheep owners,
provided that there are sufficient
funds on hand to pay all in full. 9th
erwise the money will be distributed
pro rata among those who have filed
their claims. Should all the depreda-
tions done by predatory dogs during
the past year in the county be paid
for the wisdom of the law in the opin-
ion of the farmers will have been full
ly demonstrated.

The stage was set today for what
is expected to prove the most fal
reaching and important industrial
battle in Americas history. The cur
tain will rise at midnight tomorrow
for at that time orders calling three
hundred and fifty thousand miners
to strike will go into effect.
All of the prelminaries were fin

have gone to their local posts to
direct the strike which is inevitable

IN COUNTY IS GOOD
ONLY ABOUT SIX CASES so FAR
OF DIPHTHERIA SAYS HEALTH
OFFICER.

There have been only about six
cases of diphtheria in the county this
fall, not any more than is ordinarily
the case at this season of the year,"
said Dr. VOORHEES,, county health Of
ficer. when asked this morning about
the diphtheria situation.
There is nothing alarming about
conditions. | am insisting, of course,
that every case be promptly reported
and placarded because otherwise we
could not take the precautions that
are necessary to prevent an epidemic.
If the people and physicians will do
this and there is proper disinfecting
we may be assured that the situation
will be kept well in hand"

that the County High School football

Nashville lads have won by a narrow
margin, one by one point and in the
other game by six points. 1t is the

boys are greatly encouraged since
their wonderful showing against the
Morgan aggregation.
