COUNTY SOON TO
PAY LAST OF ITS
FLOATING DEBTS
WILL BE WIPED OUT BEFORE
THE NEXT SESSION or THE
QUARTERLY COURT.
BRIDGE WARRANTS ALSO PAID
Have Been Running Ever Since the
Bridges Were Repaired After the
Great Flood of Eighteen Years Ago.
Splendid Condition of Finances.

When the county court meets In
quarterly session in April it will for
the first time In many years be greet
ed with the statement that Maury
county is free from floating debts
The county has about $4,000 OF float
ing debts that will mature early in
April, just before the meeting of the
quarterly court. Judge Whitthorne in
his last quarterly report expressed. the
hope that this debt could be retired
before the court met again. His pre-
diction is going to be verified for there
is already sufficient funds with which
to retire these debts when due.
1t may be that before the taxes for
another year are paid a small sum will
have to be borrowed to keep the coun-
TVS credit at par, but that is doubtful.
Judge Whitthorne hopes to be able to
get through the year on the balance
that will be left after the retirement
of the floating debts.
In addition to the payment of the
floating debt, the last Of the old bridge
warrants. upon which as much inter,
est has been paid as the face of the
warrants, have been paid and retired.
These warrants were issued away
back just after the flood of 1902 to re-
place bridges that were damaged in
that tine of raging waters. The
county's financial statement will be
source of qualification to every tax
payer.

FATE OF CRAIG
IN JuRY's HANDS
TWELVE MEN WILL DECIDE
WHAT is TO BE DONE WITH
DEFENDANT.

Before circuit court adjourned this
evening, the fate of Wallace Craig,
who had been on trial since Tuesday,
charged with the murder of Consta-
BILE Neil Primm will be in the hands
of the jury The state completed its
rebuttal testimony this morning and
arguments begun Immediately after
noon. Judge Sam Holding opened for
the state. He was followed by Judge
w. C. Salmon. An hour and three
quarters was allowed each side, and
at 2:30 o'clock Judge Salmon was still
speaking. For the state Attorney
General Looney B. White and former
Attorney General Job B. Garner will
speak, and for the defense l.. q. Tur-
pin and ]. c. voorhies.
The case has been contested from
start to finish, attorneys fighting for
advantage on every point.
There is considerable speculation
as to what will be the result Of the
jury's decision. Judge Salmon in his
speech said he would not ask the jury
to turn Craig out upon society-that
he should be confined in some suita-
BILE institution. The insanity plea ap-
parently has been sustained by expert
testimony introduced by the defense
in an effort to save Craig from the
electric chair.
