POLITICS IS NOW
NATIONAL PASTIME
GREATEST SPORT OF AMERi-
CANS, PLAYED ALL SEASONS,
EITHER INDOOR OR OUT.

Someone has said Baseball is
Americas pastime."
The fellow who advanced that idea
was wrong, dead wrong, he missed the
best bet of the century--for politics
is the great national pastime of Amer
lea. 1t may be played summer or win
ter, autumn or spring, indoor or out
door-and the number who may en-
gage in this great game is limited only
by the population of the nation, and
that old and time worn song Every
body's Doing 1t Now" seems to be
particularly applicable to politics just
at this time,
Everybody seems to be talking poll
tics-pass up the street and you'll find
a half dozen fellows hanging on the
lamp post, splitting tobacco juice, and
talking politics by the thousand
words. Pass along further, glance up
the alley, there are at least two, there
may be more, but their heads are
close together, and their voices are
low-they are playing the game.
One of the FASCINATING things about
the game, is that each player feels he
is a particular bright and shining
star, Babe Ruth" so to speak of pol
itics, political Moses discovered in
the bullrushes of obscurity and divine
ly called to lead his party into the
promised land of political milk and
honey and "pie" III 81
The game which has been in pro-
gress for these many months, will be
in progress for many more, and 1t is
not until after the November election
that the long suffering people of Maui
ry county are promised relief. but oh
what a relief when work can be re-
sumed and politics forgotten

PRIMARY TANCLE
NOT YET SOLVED
|. TWO BOARDS HERE
so FAR NO ACTION HAS BEEN
TAKEN TO DETERMINE WHO
HAS THE AUTHORITY.
BUT SOME ONE MUST FUNCTION
Officers Have to Be Appointed and
Ballots Prepared or. There viii Be
Mo Election Here on Thursday, Au-
gust 9Th.

There has been as yet no solution
OF the tangle over the appointment Of
two primary boards in this county.
Apparently there are still two boards
both have some color of authority
The old board of which Charles P.
Hatcher Is chairman has been duly
certified by the state democratic pri
mary board. The new board of which
Thomas B. Forgey is the head, was
nominated by the county committee,
but for some reason was never con-
firmed The state committee could
meet and unravel the tangle but it is
hardly probable that any action of
that kind will be taken at this late
date.
The two local boards, it is expected
will get together at an early date and
decide in some way what is to be
done. One thing is certain there can
be no primary until some board acts
Officers must be appointed and ballots
printed and the whole machinery of
the election set in motion. The prima-
ry is but little more than two weeks
in the distance
Under the law the officers of the
primary will be divided between the
supporters of Crabtree and Roberts.
1t is presumed that the managers for
the two candidates for governor will
submit lists to the committee from
which the appointments will be made
The primary ballots will contain the
names of the candidates for governor,
railroad commissioner, senator and
representatives. There being no con-
test for congress of state committee
the ballots will not contain any names
of candidates for those offices.

success from every viewpoint and the
consignors of the sheep, Messrs. Bias

The registered stuff did not sell for
what it was worth. 1t was heavily
penalized, but the good grades sold at
very fair price. At times the bid

bargains were knocked down, but the
crowd would Immediately manifest
renewed interest and better prices
would inevitably result when the next
lot was offered. 80
The sheep were nearly all sold to
Maury county farmers although there
were farmers from several other coun.

the finest collections of sheep that

Two car loads were sold and the
grade ewes brought from $3.50 to $35
each and the hunks sold from around
$50 to $40. The registered bucks sold
for only very little more than the

concerned one would just as soon have
had the grades as the pure breds

be said of the present governor of
