ADVICE
SOUGHT ON TAG
BILL OF CLERK
ROAD COMMISSION WILL PROBA.
BLY, BE GOVERNED BY THE
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
LATTER is INVESTIGATING
IN Event He Shrould Advise That the
Claim Cannot Be Legally Paid,
Hearing in Courts on Agreed Facts
Has Been Suggested.
DAILY Herald, Oct. 15.)

Whether or not the county road
commission will pay the bills present
ed by County Clerk Lipscomb for tags,
printing, etc, under the wheel tax law
has not yet been decided. Members
OF the commission are waiting for an
official opinion from County Attorney
Hugh Todd Shelton before they pass
upon the county's liability for the pay
ment Of the bills presented.
1t will be recalled that when this
BILL was Presented 'by the clerk to the
road commission it was disallowed
and thereupon at the Monday session
of the county court it was presented
and after an hours debate referred
back to the commission with a recon.
mendation that it be paid.
The question has been again refer.
red to County Attorney Hugh T. Shell
ton and he stated this morning that
he was giving the matter most care.
full and painstaking investigations es,
pecially in view of the favorable ac-
ton of the county court. He said that
he was inclined to the opinion that
the county was liable for the printing
bills, but his first impression was that
the clerk should pay for the tags. He
said that after interviewing a number
of the draughtsman of the law he was
assured that this was the intention.
However, that intent was not clearly
expressed in the act. He is going to
examine authorities and this week
will render his opinion.
While the commissioners have made
no statement, but it is understood
that they will be governed by the
written opinion of the county attor-
ney. If Mr.. Shelton advises that the
account should be legally paid, it will
be paid, but should he hold that it is
not valid claim it will be disallow-
ed. In this even it has been suggest
ed that the whole matter could be
quickly submitted to the circuit court
on an agreed state of facts for an
opinion.

From Davidson, Judge Turner Being
Member of the Committee on Res
Acknowledgment Presides.
(Daily Herald, Oct. 15.)

Observance Of the week of October
26 to November as law enforcement
week in Tennessee, the permanent or
ganiZation of a committee of fifteen
TO carry on propaganda for the en-
forcement of law and a request that
Governor Roberts devote as much of
his time as possible TO making speech
es for law and order, were among the
results of the great conference for law
and order held at Nashville on Tues
day.
The gathering was truly remark
able one. There were delegations
present from as far distant as Mem
phis and Knoxville and many of the
intermediate points were represented.
The conference was made up of repre-
sentatives of practically every state
wide orgapization in Tennessee.
There were editors, lawyers, school
teachers, farmers, manufacturers, la
borers, soldiers, public servants, min
listers of the gospel merchants, jul
rists and eminent scholars. In its
personnel it was probably one of the
best meetings ever held at the histor-
lie capitol building. 1t was made up of
serious, determined patriots.
The conference was presided over
by Col. John Emmett Edgerton, for
merly of Columbia, who delivered the
keynote address. 1t was a strong and
able presentation of the issue of law
enforcement.
Maury county had the largest dele
gation in attendance at the conference

principal address of the day. He was
among familiar scenes, having former

him a very cordial welcome and he
delivered strong and earnest ad
dress on the development of the com
munity spirit, the preservation of
American institutions and the need
for work if the devastation of war is
to be repaired

derson, Edward P. Turner, Fred Lat
ia, Prof. Robert L. Harris, J. |. Fin
ney, Joseph M. Hayse, DR.. R. NJ. Che
nault, Senator C. Y. Clarke and Percy
Brown. Judge Turner served on the
committee on resolutions and ]. l.
Finney was appointed a member of
the permanent committee of fifteen
of which he was afterward elected
vice chairman.
The resolutions in part follow:
THE official representative of prac-
tically every statewide organization
in Tennessee, in conference of law
and order held at the capitol Tuesday,
Oct. IA, unanimously adopted the fol.
lowing declaration Of principles and
program of action:
First: 1t cannot be said too often
or with too great emphasis that mob
violence, whether it expresses itself
in lynching, in riots, or in any other
form, is uniustifable under any and
all circumstances, and is subversive
of the principles of American govern
ment. Recent outrageous manifesto
tons of the mob spirit make all the
more evident the recklessness and
brutality of the mob. In spite of the
growing frequency of such organized
lawlessness, of the Indifference of
many citizens with regard to the dan
ger to every community, and the pes
simism of others who regard all agita-
ton and action futile, we resolutely
set ourselves to combat this spirit of
violence and resistance to constituted
authority. The very gravity of the
situation is challenge to the patriot
ism Of all good citizens, and calls for
united public sentiment and action.
Second: The present unrest, the
disregard of law, the opposition to
constituted authority are symptoms of |
a disease that unless checked will I'M
dermine the very foundations of our
civil structure. Any government that
is too weak 70 enforce order cannot
justify its existence. While we deplore !
all the lawlessness, we are now es-
pecially concerned with the abroga-
ton of all law. OF what avail is the /
great victory in the recent war if ev-
cry ideal for which we fought is to be
by men who advocate prin-
ciples that are a menace to all organ
lied society? The reverence to the
is futile is ! cardinal part

The W. W. CONNOR FARM
TO SELL At AUCTION
TUESDAY, OCT. Fl, FOR DIVISION.

sss CHARGE OF SALE.

On Tuesday, October 81, at noon,
the Figuers Realty Co., of this city,
will offer for sale at public auction
the w. w. Conner farm and home
place of 227 acres near Mt. Pleasant
on the,Mt. Pleasant and Cross Bridges

The farm is one of the best in the
county. Lies in the valley of Big
Bigby creek and practically every acre
Of the land is rich in productiveness.
For the past twenty-five years or more
this farm has been in the hands of one
Of the most scientific farmers of the
county. Farming the land with view
of not only making dividend but
also of laying surplus of reserve.
Farming land is like bank stock. If
you pay out everything in dividends
at the time of earning, your stock will
not only never increase in value, but
will decrease, while on the other hand,
if you lay aside part of the earnings
each year and create a reserve or sur
plus upon which you can draw in case
of emergency, your stock soon reaches
that state of perfection, which makes
the reserve equal to the capital. This
was the method used by the owner of
this farm. He rotated his crops in
such manner that he created that re-
serve fund, until at the present time
the farm is in possibly the highest
state of cultivation of any farm in the
county.
This farm will be sold to the high
est bidder on this date. The train at
Mt. Pleasant will be met by automo-
biles and the people attending the sale
taken right to the farm. The farm is
not only rich and fertile, but its inn
provements are good. Col. Cole, of
Lebanon, will cry the sale.

ALL POULTRY HERE

1.-THE only thing that is maintaining

today. "The highest poultry market
in the country at this time is the Mid
die Tennessee market. We are able
to dispose of our receipts in the South,
otherwise there would be big slump,
because our prices are higher than the
Chicago market. Ultimately, of course,
when receipts increase as they will we
are not going to be able to find this
outlet and then there must be de-
cline. The receipts now are rather
light. Producers in this section may
consider themselves fortunate that
they are getting as good value for
their poultry as they are now. Eggs

.ISOM EXHIBITS
COMMUNITY FAIR
AMONG The BEST
FINER LOT PROBABLY NEVER AS
I SEMBLED IN THE HISTORY
Z OF THE COUNTY.
PEOPLE HAVE A GREAT DAY
Addresses Are Delivered by Jos. M.

Lavish Hospitality of People Again
+ Demonstrated.

Although the initial effort the COM
munity fair at Isom on Saturday was
pronounced one of the best exhibits
of farm, garden and home products
ever shown in Tennessee. That the
people of the community were alive
to the Importance of the fair was
shown by the large crowd that was
present. Practically that entire sec
ton took full holiday and in addi-
ton there were large numbers of peo-
pie present from Hampshire, Taylors-
vile and Columbia
The showing made of corn has never
been excelled in the county, The
fruits and vegetables, canned and
preserved and dried by the women of
the community were delight to the
eye. Needle work in the greatest pro-
fusion, including quilts, doillies, table
cloths, etc, made up most beautiful
and interesting exhibit. Then there
was an exhibit exclusively of antiqui-
ties of the neighborhood, articles that
have been in families in that part of
the county since it was redeemed from
the savage and the wilderness. These
evidences of how folks lived in the
earlier and better days" of the re-
public attracted much interest.
It was oftentimes a most difficult
matter for the judges to determine
how the ribbons should be awarded.
The fact is that the difference in quail
ity in many exhibits was SO slight
that it was net noticeable to the I'M
practiced eye. Prof Mclean and Miss
Shadow who have worked untiringly
to develop a community spirit and
promote the fair, were enthusiastic
over the success of the movement.
They are confident that the annual
community fair will now become an
institution at Isom.
The dinner was not the least at
tractive feature of the occasion. 1t
was served in profuse abundance and
with that cordially and hospitality
which are characteristic of the people
sold for the benefit of the school fund
