TRACTOR FLOWING
AT FARM STATION
GIVEN APPROVAL
MERITS OF CLEVELAND ENGINE
PRAISED BY THOSE WHO
SEE 1T PERFORM.
MAKES HEAVY PULL WITH EASE
Runs Over the Freshly Plowed Ground
Without the Slightest Suggestion of
Miring NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Again
Tomorrow.
Wednesdays Daily Herald.)

Drafting three twentysiX inch discs,
turning land at the rate of about an
acre and a half an hour, running
smoothly through heavy land, the dem
onstration of the Cleveland tractor by
the Hardison Motor Company this
morning at the Middle Tennessee Ex-
pertinent station delighted all who
saw it.
Although heavy bottom in corn
last year and bit too wet for plow-
ing was the field selected for the dem
onstration the engine ran with ease
and pulled the load with as little eff
fort as would have been necessary on
a hard surfaced road. The land was
turned about seven inches deep. There
was no strain on the engine although
built for a double disc while there
We're attached to the plow in this dem
onstration three big plows.
After showing the engine at work
with the plows it was detached and
driven across the freshly plowed
ground, turned around in a narrow
space with less trouble than would be
necessary to turn a horse driven We
hicle. 1t demonstrated how easily one
could use harrow or other piece of
farm machinery. The engine runs on
the same sort of principle or tract
that made the celebrated tanks ia
nous.
The demonstration will continue
this afternoon, tomorrow and as long
as weather conditions are favorable.
Much interest is being shown in the
work that is done and all who have
witnessed the demonstration have
been loud in praises of the results.
An Oliver disc plow is being used
in the demonstration

Saturdays Daily Herald


The death of Mrs. Mary Burnice
Digger last night at 10 o'clock at the
home of her father A. N. Smith, on
the Mooresville pike in the Fernvale
community, is one of the saddest that
has occurred in this county by rea-
son of the fact that she leaves two
infant sons, twins, two and a half
months old, Melvin d. and Marvin A.
Mrs. Digger had been i'll for several
weeks and her passing will create
deep sorrow In the community where
she was active in church aud social
circles, being member of the Chris
tian church since girlhood.
In addition to the infants, Mrs. Dug
ger is survived by her husband, G. e,
Digger, her father, one son, Louis
Digger, age IA, and two"sisters, Mrs.
Smith Digger of Broadview and Mrs.

An increased enrolment, and above
the average attendance, fine school
spirit, an excellent faculty, these are
the distinguishing features Of the Mt.
Pleasant elementary school and the
County High School at that place, said
Prof. J. P. Graham, the county super
intendent who on Tuesday made a
days thorough inspection of the work
that is being done down there.
The attendance of the County High
School at Mt. Pleasant, the only other
first class high school in the county,
is gradually growing until now there
is an enrolment of more than hun
dred. The attendance is not confined
to Mt, Pleasant either, but the pupils
come from all the country about.
There has been also a decided in
crease in the enrolment of the ele-
mrntary school at Mt. Pleasant. The
county and city jointly operate the
school down there, saving considera-
bly, in overhead expense and in addi-
ton giving better advantages to both
town and country pupils.
Mt. Pleasant school is the first and
only one in the county where the ex-
pertinent of abolishing a small and
weak country school and conveying
the pupils to large school has been
tried. This is the second year and
the opposition has about all died away.
The Camp Branch school, a one trach-
er affair of uncertain attendance, was
abolished and the pupils sent to Mt.
Pleasant at public expense, a carry
all being employed for that purpose
At first there was good deal of OPP
position upon the part of some of the
patrons of the Camp Branch school,
due the merits of the system having
been demonstrated every one seems
to be pleased. The pupils are getting
much better facilities than they could
have gotten in single room, one
teacher school.
The consolidation of the Camp
Branch school with Mt. Pleasant was
due to the efforts of c. A. Ross then
a member of the county board of edu-
cation.

COLUMBIA MAY JOIN
MOVEMENT SEEKING
ADJUSTMENT RATES
.. SHELBY CoFFEY IN CoRRES-
PoNDENcE WITH PARTIES
PUSHING THE MATTER.
inland TOWNS PAY HIGHER
Organization Being Formed to Urge
Readjustment Upon Basis Of Haul
and Traffic Conditions Not on Poten-
tial River Competition.

Correspondence begun between At
torney j. Shelby Coffey of this city
Z and A. j. McGehee, secretary OF the
Jackson (Tenn) Association of Com
merce, may result in Columbia becom
ing a member Of trffic league that is
being formed among cities and towns
not located on rivers for the purpose
of securing a readjustment of freight
rates that will put them on an equali'
ty with the so-called water points.
In the course of his efforts in be-
half of local shippers Mr.. Coffey
learned of a similar movement that
had gained considerable Roadway un-
der the leadership of the Jackson asso-
citation of commerce and got in touch
with the secretary. Mr.. McGehee re-
piled that at recent meeting of the
Rivers and Harbors Congress in
A Washington the inland cities sue
ceding in getting in the resolution a
demand for equalization Of freight
rates between river and interior
points.
The organization of the Southeast
ern Traffic League has been started
and the initial meeting will be held
at Jackson on February 20. 1t is plan
ned that similar meetings be held at
central points throughout the coon
try and Mr.. McGehee suggested that
conference be held at Columbia of
shippers from towns and cities in this
section.
It Is our purpose to admit no towns
or cities into this league that are
blessed with depressed rates on &C
count of potential river competition,
is a significant statement in Mr.. Nc
Gehee's letter. This course has been
adopted, he said because we want no
division of opinion in our own house"
Mr.. McGehee has had up the matter
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and has succeeded in getting
considerable comment on his cores
pondence in reports of the house inter-
state commerce committee investiga-
ton regarding the question of extend
ing the period of government control
of railroads.
Mr.. Coffey is of the opinion that it
would be worth the effort on the part
of the shippers in this section to call
meeting at Columbia for the purpose
of uniting with similar movements
elsewhere in the pressure to secure
more equitable rates for inland towns
and cities. He suggested that such
. conference should be held between
shippers located at Pulaski, Lewis
burg, LaWrenceburg, Mt. Pleasant,
Franklin, Centrevllle and other points
In this immediate territory, all of
whom suffer the same inequality in
rates as compared with river points.

HARWE ASKED JUSTICE
OF PEACE FOR WARRANT
WAS TOLD AGE CONSENT LAW
IS YEARS THEN SAID 1T WAS
NO USE.

A statement from Justice OF the
Peace J. II. Hardison of the Fourth
district declaring that he was asked
by Charlie Harvie for warrant and
for information about the age of con
sent law after his daughters de-
nouncement and the sensational
charge that Harvie was her betrayer
has been made and will add to the
investigation into the case that it is
believed will be made, by the grand
jury now in session.
Justice of the Peace Hardison said
this morning that Harvie came to
him Monday after his daughters al
legged confession on Saturday.
The written statement of Justice
of the Peace Hardison follows;
There seems to be an impression
among some people in, the case of
Charlie Harvie, that he did not ask
me what the age of consent law was
Neither ask me for a warrant. But
this is mistake. He did come to me
for warrant and asked me what was
the age of consent law. Not knowing
the law had been changed | told him
16 years and one day. He then stated
that it would be no use to take out the
warrant, as his daughter was more
than 16 years old. Very respectfully

official county paper and all COM
missioners' proceedings etc. will be
published in this paper. It is has
the largest circulation of any paper
in the county and is published at
the county seat, which justly en-
titles it to the distinction of being
the official county paper. The
county job printing is distributed
among the various papers of the
county at fair price to both the
publishers and the taxpayers Of the
county. The element Of politics is
entirely left out of the matter and
this is one reason why Latah county
had such a clean campaign last cleo
tion. 1t is also one reason why all
of the Latah county papers are in

This system OF handling the county
printing was devised by George
Lamphere, owner Of the Star Mirror

credit is due for the pleasant and
harmonious relations that exist a.
mong the papers of the county.

Would surely ask me what did.

"How do l know you speak the
