AGAINST ROOSTER

Swat the Rooster campaign
will be conducted in Grady county
during the week beginning Monday,

Designed to educate the poultry
raisers in the value of infertile eggs
and the loss Of producing fertile
eggs, every owner of poultry win be
urged to remove the male bird from
The flock
Local produce houses are co-operat-
ing in the Swat the Rooster" cam
paign. From Saturday, July 3, to
Saturday. July 10, they will offer
premium of two cents per pound
above the marke price for roosters.
The campaign will be started as
result of a ruling handed down by
DR.. A. r. Lewis, state health com
missioner, who has demanded that
after July LIST all fertile eggs be cam
died ina dark room before they are
offered for sale The purpose of
Gambling is to detect all eggs unfit
for domestic use. Since infertile
eggs cannot be developed, dealers
are not required to candle these eggs.
That hundreds of roosters will be
killed or sold during the Swat the
Rooster campaign in Grady county
is the belief of Miss Caroline Jones,
county home demonstration agent
and poultry specialist.

from the Island of Jesey, the first
blooded Jersey cattle ever imported
to the South, and with great success
these cattle were bred there.
The farm has been famous since
1870 as q breeding place of fine live

SIXTH DISTRICT
Gets HONORS IN
DELINQUENT LIST
FEWER TRACTS OF LAND TO BE
SOLD FOR TAXES THAN ANY
OTHER DISTRICT.
All Lands of County Upon Which
Taxes for Last Year Have Not Been
Paid Will Be Sold on First Monday
of June.

Again the sixth district takes first
honors for having the smallest delin-
quent tax list of any district in Maury
county. That district has made a tru-
ly remarkable record this year with
ot!y eight parcels of land advertised
for sale on the first Monday in next
June. The fifth district with only
eighteen parcels of land upon, which
the taxes for 1919 have not been paid
comes next in the honor list.
The seventh and ninth districts,
where more than a third of the prop
erty of the county is located, naturally
have the largest lists. Outside of the
fifth and sixth districts the lists in the
fourth and tenth districts are exceed
ingly short, not more than a score and
nal1 IN eacn.
The third district has a rather size
able list. Taking the county as a
whole the number of delinquents is
just about the average of past years,
Under the law the delinquent list is
by County Trustee Burns
and must be sold on the First Monday
of June. Generally the lands sold for
taxes in this county are bid in by the
state, it being very seldom that any
buys at a tax sale, due to
the difficulty in getting a title.
The sale together with the list OF
delinquent poll tax and personal tax
payers will be reported by the trustee
to the July term of the county court
where the trustee will be given credit
for the amount of the delinquent
taxes. He will then Immediately
make annual settlement with the state

That the taxpayers of the ninth dis

has made an assessment of every par

much out of line. Assessor Wflliaps

weeks. Everything was in readiness,
but the Weather Man, and the post

large crowd who expected to attend

large that there is not a stage in Co

GREAT REDUCTION IN
NUMBER OF HOGS
FARMERS OF COUNTY ARE NOW
TURNING THEIR ATTENTION
TO OTHER CROPS.

According to estimates made by
County Agricultural Agent Evan A.
Mclean the production of hogs in
Maury county has been curtailed
fifty per cent since the big price de-
cline started several months ago. Mr..
Mclean says that Maury county dur
ing the war and Immediately thereaf-
ter was one of the leading hog pro
ducing counties in the state, and real
ly had more pure bred boars than any
county in the state. AT the time the
prices started the steady decline some
months ago, there were more hogs in
the county than ever before. but farm
ers have been gradually reducing the
size of their droves, until the number
of swine in the county has been cut
almost half in two

(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 13.--The SEN
ate this afternoon agreed to vote on
the Knox peace resolution at O'clock
Saturday afternoon.
The debate on this measure was
opened for the democrats yesterday
by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
who ridiculed the idea of "legislating
the end Of war;" Senator Hitchcock
charged that the republicans have
made no less than four attempts to
end the war by legislation and have
failed utterly in each.
It is freely predicted that President
Wilson will veto the resolution even
if it is passed and republican leaders
are fearful that they will be unable to
muster enough strength to pass the
resolution over the head of the PresI-
dent. However, they have intimated
that an effort to do this will be made.

new SCHOOLS
TO Be ERECTED
DURING SUMMER
COMMUNITIES ALREADY BUSY
CONVERTING SUBSCRIPTIONS
INTO CASH OR EQUIVALENT.
Mt. Pleasant Authorities Expected to
Take Necessary Action Without De-
lay So That House Can Be Ready
Next FALL

School buildings as authorized by
the resolution of the county court on
Monday, appropriating $4,000 for
that purpose, will begin in some parts
of the county without very much de-
lay. With few exceptions the ap.
preparations made for building the va
rious schools We're predicated upon
subscriptions for one-third of the
amount of the appropriations by the
citizens. The funds therefore will not
become available until these require
ments are met.
Already at Culleoka the committee
in charge is busy converting the $10,-
600 of subscriptions into cash and
bankable notes. 1t is said that within
a few days the bulk OF the whole sub
scription win be converted The board
of mayor and ssdermen at Mt. Pleas
ant will take immediate action there
to meet the requirements so that the
work on the addition to the school
building can be completed before the
fall term. This addition is impera-
tive, otherwise not less than 100 chill
dren will have the doors of the school
closed in their faces next fall.
cn,;,,o II;I1 opI at Capdu IInnly
and at Mt. Pleasant, where appropria-
tions were made for negro schools the
negroes have already in large measure
met the requirements so that little de-
lay is anticipated olEgfhat account. 1t
is announced that thfcanvass to raise
$4,000 for the Mcdowell school will
start at once.
Considerable difficulty is anticipated
in selling the five per cent bonds au-
thorized at par. In fact it is consider
ed extremely doubtful if this can be
done, and it is expected that the buy
ers will require considerable dis
count. Under the resolution of the
court any expense or discount, and the
latter is usually camoufaged by the
bond buyers under the disguise of 'ex-
penses," are to be paid by the several
communities of the county that bene.
fits by the appropriation in proper
ton to the amounts received. 1t is
confidently believed that the commu-
mites benefited will obviate the diff
Guilty in selling the bonds at par by
