Board Statement Is Libel"

MouItrie, April 2.-Characterizing
the statement given out in Atlanta by
the state board of health officials to
the effect that a dangerous malarlal
zone existed in Mitchell county as a
green libel" Jesse Perry a law
yer of Sale City, who was in Moultrie
yesterday, declared the people OF
that section were highly incensed be-
cause of the bad advertising their
country had received as result OF
the publication of the interview.
Mr.. Perry said the statement by
the helath board official to the effect
that out of a population OF 5000 in
the so-called malarial zone more
than $500 had malaria was so eX
aggerated it was ridiculous to the
people who knew the facts. He also
denied that the people who formerly

LIGHT VOTE POLLED
IN FOURTH DISTRICT

One of the lightest votes in its his
tory was polled in the fourth district
Saturday when W. w. Pinkston was
elected to the vacancy in the county
court without opposition Probably
for the first time more votes were cast
at Beftwich than were polled at Parks
station, the latter usually having the
largest vote of the district. Twenty.
six were cast at Parks and thirty eight
at Leftwich. Mr.. Pinkston will not
be a new member of the court when he
takes his seat in April, having served
the unexpired term of Allen Holt from
April 1917 to September, 1918. He
was defeated last August for re-elec-
ton by few votes. He will fill the
seat vacated by Squire Harris, who
removed to the ninth district.

POLITICS IN EIGHTH.

Two little items of news taken to-
gether, sound rather significant. First
1t is stated that former Governor Rye
will soon return to his home at Paris
and resume the practice of law. Upon
heels of that report comes the an
nouncement that Col Bob Gates, the
venerable correspondent of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, that Thetus
Wilrette Sims. now serving his twelfth
term as representative in congress
from the eighth district, will retire to
private life on March 1, 1921.
Friends of Gov. Rye have openly
charged him with having designs on
Mr.. Sims seat and the ex-governor
has neither affirmed nor denied these
charges" That, however, is a habit
of the governor for he never commits
himself on any proposition in advance,
but the fact that he has preferred TO
return to Paris rather than accept a
most fattering law partnership at
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1919-03-28

Memphis gives considerable color to
the report II has been known for
many years that Mr.. Sims would rath
II have any democrat in the eighth
disrict for his opponent than Tom
Rvs. In fact the statement has often
been made, but with what authority
The, Herald cannot affirm, that Mr.
Sims would never measure lances
with Tom Rye. However this may be
there is omessignifcance in the pre-
diction of 5Col. Gates.
A contest between Rye and Sims,
two of the 1nost familiar figures in the
politics OF Tennessee, would attract
wide interest. 1t would be battle
royal. Rye is a poor politician, the
poorest in the state, considering his
prominence. He knows nothing about
an Organization or, "a machine, while
Sims is a past master at organizing
the voters. But Rye !. is personally
popular in the district. It has always
supported his political aspirations. II
he is really going to be a candidate
and would begin to lay his political
wires now he might have a clear
field, but that is not going to e~,the
case for lovable and fine fellow that
he is Tom Rye never subscribes to the
idea that representation is crime.

AN INTEMPERATE LAW.

Down in Alabama they have a law
that provides that property upon
which a liquor distillery may be found
shall be forfeited and confiscated by
the state. This law was probably en-
dorsed by the Anti-Saloon league
1t is a drastic measure OF doubtful
value because the more incorporate
and unreasonable we make our Grim
inal laws the more difficult they are
of enforcement, no statesmen yet
having devised law that is self-eXe
cutting. Now it happens that recently
the Alabama authorities found well
equipped corn juice factory located
right on the farm of the superintend
ent of the Anti-Saloon league. That
fact of itself is necessarily embar'
RAISING to the distinguished leader
of the arid forces, but his embarass
ment may amount to financial loss, If
the letter of the law be enforced. In
any event this leader is going to have
to do lot of explaining and proving
before he can read his titles clear to
the farm which was but recently the
habitat of liquor machine.
Reformers are most valuable and
necessary adjuncts of society. They
are the moving force in civilization.
They all have one great fault, how
ever, and that is excess of zeal. 1t is
difficult to keep them within bounds.
They often spoil a perfectly good
thing by trying to over do it. Grim
inal laws are enforced by the average
of mankind. No man can be con-
yicted for the violation of the most
necessary, reasonable and wholesome
law unless he be convicted by jury.
This jury is made up of Just about
average men. They know the frailties
of human nature. They are influence
ed by the sentiment and feelings OF
their associates. 1t is too much to
expect them to be diligent in the
enforcement Of extreme laws that
they know are unreasonable and
liable to do more harm than good.
Thes facts ought to be kept clearer
in mind by the makers of criminal
laws. Then we would have less vio-
lation of the law

STATE DAIRY CONTROL

Senator Clarke, Of this district, has
introduced bill to regulate the dairy
industry of the state. This bill pro
vides a system of licensing and fees
requiring all diaries to be licensed
by the state. 1t is also provided that
no ice cream shall be made or solo
that does not contain at least eight
per cent of milk fat. The bill is said
to have the approval of the commits
sioner of agriculture and the dean oil
the state college of agriculture.
Unquestionably big fraud is per
petracted on the people Of the cities
by the manufacturers of ice cream
This was revealed in Tennessee last
summer/by the Federal Food Admins
tration which made an investigation
and found that the major portion OF
the ice cream manufactured and sold
in Nashville contained less than three
per cent of milk fat. The abuse was
so fragrant that the Food Administra-
ton withheld allotments of sugar
from manufacturers whose products
did not test eight per cent of milk
fat. That is the standard of Senator
Clark's bill.
This is the age of regulations. Laws
to safeguard public health, public NOR
tals and requiring higher standard
of business and commercial honesty
are becoming more numerous. There
lis no reason why the dairy industry,
controlling the greatest and most val
liable single article of human food,
, should not be properly regulated. The
bill of Senator Clarke seems to be a
reasonable proposal and one that
would unquestionably protect both the
honest dairyman. and the public. AS
suredly the trade could not object to
laws that would prevent nfisrepresen-
tation Dealers ought not to be al
lowed to label frozen water as ice
cream" and sell it at ice cream prices.

CHEMICAL CORPORATION BUYS
VOLUNTEER PROPERTY.
$2,OOO,OOO VIRGINIA CHARTER
Corporation Organized by New York
Capitalists to Erect $4,000 Plant
on Swan Creek, Three Miles From
CentreviIle.

| Another big phosphate mining and
crushing company has entered the Co
lumbia territory and will erect an i'm
mense plant near this city. Announce
ment was made this morning of the
purchase by the Tennessee Agricul-
tural Chemical Corporation of the old
Volunteer Phosphate Co. property
tnear Centreville from the National
Phosphate Fertilizer Co. The new
! owners of the property will begin the
construction immediately of a $780,
900 plant with capacity of 400 tons
of finished rock per day.
The Tennessee Agricultural Chemi-
cal Corporation is 100000 concern
chartered under the laws of Virginia
1t is financed by New York capitalists,
H. H, Melville. pfi canning Buck Co.,
New York, anGH, D friedman of
Friedman eco, New York, being the
representatives of the capitalists who
closed the deal in this state recently.
The new plant of the company will
be constructed to carry out the new
dry cleaning process, an invention of
H. Alison Webster of Columbia, which
eliminates the necessity for washing
the rock. Fifty per cent of the pro-
duct will be used in the manufacture
of fertilizer and the remainder will be
sold direct to the farmers for use in
the raw state of the SOIL
The property of the Old Volunteer
Phosphate Co. consists of 1,4S7 acres
of land and the mineral rights en- 32S
acres additional located on Swan
Creek three miles from Centrevlle.
1t has been operated successfully in
the past but for several years no min
ing has been done there. 1t was at
this mine that the hydraulic process
of mining phosphate was used for
the first time in Tennessee. The Ma
tional Phosphate & Fertilizer Go,
which owns other large tracts of pfos-
phate property in Hickman county,
has never operated the Volunteer
mines since acquiring that property
The National Phosphate Fertilizer
Co., former owner of the Volunteer
property, is a Tennessee corporation
in which large interests are held by
S. NJ. Ward of Centreville, e. w. Stees
of Chicago and a large number of
stockholders of Waukegan, ILL., This
company owns the Tottys Bend prop
erty where it has in operation a large
crushing mill and mining plant Et
Although the operations of this
plant will be some distance from Co
lumbia the Tennessee office will be
located here. Mr.. Friedman of New
York, who is in active control of the
development here, stated today that
the charter of the company had been
secured and the following officers and
directors elected: President, T. H.

BARN AND CONTENTS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
OCCURRED LAST NIGHT ON THE
FARM OF 7. w. M'CANDLESS
ON CULLEoKA PIKE.
Wednesdays Daily Heraldl

Fire last night burned the barn. a
horse, a mare, quantity of feed stuff,
harness, farming implements and a
buggy on the farm of T. w. McCand-
less three miles out on the Culleoka
pike. There was no insurance. The
origin of the blaze is unknown and
unexplainable. Walter McCandless,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. McCandless, had
returned from the barn where he had
fed the horses and mules when the
fire was discovered. The flames
quickly covered the roof and prevent
ed all possibility of extinguishing
them. Young McCaudless ran through
