DRY GOODS PRICES,
SHOW an ADVANCE
QUANTITY LIMITED AND Diff
CULT TO GET ORDERS FIT!
ED NOW.

There is no prospect so far as |
can see for any reduction in the near
future in the prices of the bulk OF
dry goods" remarked Edward P. Tur-
er of the Maury Dry Goods Company
this morning. "On the contrary we
are actually paying more today for
certain staple lines than we have had
to pay. Domestic, sheeting, ging-
hams, percales and silks are all cost
ing more now than they did and the
wholesalers hold out absolutely no
promise of any reduction. 1t is not
only the price that troubles the dry
goods retailer, but it is the difficulty
of getting orders filled in many lines
that are sold every day. Many of the
biggest houses in the country limit
the retailers to certain numbers of
bolts of goods and you can't buy any
more. Silks have recently advanced
and there is no prospect whatever for
a coming down in the shoes, from
present indications. We had hoped
that the crest of prices in our lines
had been reached but we have all
been disappointed"

viii Be Present at July Meeting
of County Court.

Citizens of Giles county are very
much interested in the proposed state
and federal highway through Marry
and Giles countless" said w. B. Ro-
mine, the veteran editor OF the Pulas-
XII Citizen and former member of the
legislature, who was in Columbia on
Wednesday to stand the examination
for appointment as postmaster at
Pulaski.
Mr.. Romine said that when the
proposition was presented to the
county court of Giles county by viii
liam P. Moore, the state highway en-
gineer, it was accepted without sim
gle dissenting vote, rather unusual
thing for the court. He declared that
everyone seemed to be enthusiastical-
ly in favor of proposition to con-
struct the road on the terms proposed,
that of the cost being divided equal
ly between the county, state and fed
eral governments. The hope is ex-
pressed that Maury county will soon
fall in line SO that the citizens Of
Giles will have a fine highway not
only through their own county but
can come over one here.
Citizens of the sixth district are,
judging from expressions of many of
their leading citizens, strongly in fa-
yor. of the proposition of the state
highway engineer. A number of the
residents of that district have ex-
pressed their intentions of being here
when court convenes in July and urg-
ing their members to support the ap-
preparation. One member of the
court, Capt. English, who signed the
petition for an extra session, is known
to favor the propasition, while the
other member. Squire Matthews, will
cote for it if he is convinced that it
is the desire of his constituents.

Columbia will be the host of the

Christian Temperance Union which
will convene here on October and
remain in session until October 6.
This is the first state convention OF
this great organization to be held in
Columbia since 1907, twelve years
ago.
During the twelve years that have
intervened more progress has been
made in the state and nation for tenn.
perance and to carry into effect the
program of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union than in all the pre-
vious history of the state. In that pc
riod Tennessee has established state
wide prohibition and enforced it. The
congress has submitted national
amendment which will become opera
tive, within few months after the
convention meets. However, when
the convention assemblies in Columbia
the nation will already be dry be-
cause the war time prohibition act
will be in force.
To make plans for the entertain
ment of the convention a meeting of
the local chapter of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union will be
be held at the home of Mrs t. A.
Dugger on South Main street at 4
o'clock Friday afternoon. A full at
tendance of the members is expected.

reputation for hospitality.

with the nerves of hundreds shortly

done by wind and lightning during
the thunder storm at that hour, but
no diaster of any kind occurred.
Prof. l.. s. Duke, principal of the
High School, was in the basement Of
the building in the manual training
room when the lightning struck the
flag pole. He was momentarily daz-
ed and didn't know whether there had
been an earthquake or bomb drop
ped from an aeroplane, Then it
dawned on him that the building had
been struck by lightning. He ran up
stairs and discovered that the flag
pole had been shattered The bolt of
lightning passed down the chain used
in raising the flag and blackened a
streak on the stone front of the build
ing. Every fuse on both the light and
current wires was blown out, one
electric switch was blown out and
there was vivid flash from one of
the machines in the work room. A
hole was blown in the inside plaster
of the building and small rent made
in the roof. The damage was several
hundred dollars.

WHILE CLEANUP CAMPAIGN Is
ON CITIZENS THINK STREETS
SHOULD BE CLEANED.
BUSINESS STREETS FILTHY.
Mayor Dedman Failing to Get Front
Foot Measure Says City Unable to
Sprinkle--citizens Think It Is Time
to Do Something.

Considerable progress is being
made in the cleanup campaign inau-
gurated the first of the week by City
Marshal Tom Mclean and City
Health Officer P. d. Biddle. Inspec-
tions are being made with view to
eliminating all fly and mosquito
breeding places and putting the town
in sanitary condition for the rest
of the summer.
One feature of sanitation that has
not been taken up is that of the filthy
condition of the down town streets.
There has been no sprinkling or wash
ing of the streets this summer. Con-
sequently West Seventh, Court Square
and other down town paved business
streets are in disreputable condi-
ton. After the rain Wednesday aft
ernoon these streets were veritable
loblollies of filth. The dirt on these
streets is being ground into dust dur
ing the dry weather and blown into
the houses. It is also inhaled from
the air by persons walking or riding
in that section of the city
Several months ago the city admin
istration gave warning that if the
frontfoot assessment plan of taxa
ton for sprinkling could not be
adopted it would be impossible for
any sprinkling to be done Alderman
w. 0. Cherry said at the time that he
believed the city would have sufficient
money to do the sprinkling. Now the
show downahas Gomez es4-4a4As asssl n.
Since the matter of adopting the
front-foot assessment plan here was
discussed by Mayor ]. M. Dedman
and citizens the city ordinance of
Jackson, Tenn, by which it was pro-
posed to pattern local ordinance and
to have state legislation enacted, has
been declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court. So il this law had
been adopted it would now be void.
The question of street sprinkling
has already become serious and the
driest weather has not yet come. 1t
will continue to become more serious
and the dust problem is going to be
one that will menace the health and
comfort of practically the whole pop
ulation.
Mayor Dedman has asserted that
the city government is without suffi!
cient funds to do this sprinkling, be-
cause of increased costs in other de-
partments and reduced revenue, since
the streets were paved. He declares
that he is ready to confer or cooper
ate with any group of citizens upon
launching plan that will eliminate
the dust
Alderman W. o. Cherry on the 9TH
er hand has insisted that funds can
be found available for some sprink-
ling if not for ali that may be needed.
A number of citizens declare that
when the streets were paved enc of
the arguments in favor of paving
was that it would do away with
sprinkling and would so reduce the
cost of cleaning and maintaining the
streets that it would relieve the citi-
zens and the city of that burden to
large extent.
While the cleanup campaign is on
it has been suggested to The Herald
by many citizens that a good place
to start would be on the streets.
That's the situation. What will be.
done about it remains to be seen.
