PRESIDENT PORTER
APPEALS TO FARMERS
MAURY COUNTIANS SHOULD AT
TEND THE INSTITUTE NEXT
WEEK IN FORCE.

IL hope that the Maury county farm
ers will show their appreciation of the
splendid program that has been pro
vided for the institute here next week
and will attend it's sessions in much
larger numbers than they have in the
past" declared President J. +. Por-
tor, Of the county council of agricul,
turc.
Enthusiastically there will be pre-
sented to the farmers here next week
one of the finest programs that has
ever been offered In the state. Our
farm problems are vital. Conditions
in the rural communities are such
that that they offer little real encour-
agement to the producers. The pro.
gam for this meeting was made with
the hope that by bringing the int Hi
gent farmers together we might help
to solve some of these problems. Fhe
American federation of farm bureaus
is making a determined effort to do
something constructive for agrie
ture It's president, James B. How
ard, will speak here Wednesday. The
members of the council of agricult Ire
should every one be present
"We have information that delc3a-
tions of at least hundred farm ors
are coming a hundred miles from
Montgomery county. That number or
more will be here from Davidson coun-
ty. Hickman will send over a hun.
dred and so will Lawrence and Giles.
Now If the farmers can come such
distances surely the Maury county
farmers can afford the time without
having a long journey or being away
from home at night

EXPECT HIGHWAY
PROBLEM WILL Be
SETTLED AUG. u
COUNTY COURT, TO AUTHORIZE
BOND ISSUE AT THE ADJOURN
ED SESSION..
MAJORITY IS FAVORABLE |
With Amendment to Jackson Resolu.
t'ons Urged by couneil of Aericul-
ture Road Maintenance viii Be
Small Item.

Unless all signs fail the county
court at its adiourned session next
Thursday will practically settle the
road problem in Maury county for
some time to come. From present indi
cations the Jackson resolution amend.
ed so as to embrace the proposition of
the county council OF agriculture, pro-
viding for communitysor school cen.
ter roads, will be adopted by the court
with votes to spare. 1t is said that
there are sixteen justices who will
vote for the proposition carrying the
suggested amendmentt
The entire proposition will provide
!, first for the issuance of a sufficient
amount OF bonds forAhe completion
of the federal aid highways over the
Spring Hill, Mt. Pleasant and Pulaski
pixies, two-thirds of the cost thereof
being paid by the state and national
governments. 1t will next provide that
at the proper time the county will
provide similar aid under the same
conditions for the completion of the
other federal highways in the county,
including the Williamsport, the Bear
Creek and the Lewisburg pixies.
Next bond issue of 100000 is pro-
vided for the reconstruction of the
Hampshire, the Cul.eoka, Campbells-
vile and Santa Fe pixies Then it is
proposed by the county council of ag-
riCulture, endorsed by the retail cred
it association, to issue 100000 to
build community roads. The scheme
for this plan is being drafted in legal
form for presentation to the court. Al
together the court is expect
ed to provide for the ultimate is
suance of $1,000,00O of bonds for high
way purposes. With these expendi,
lures and the taking over of ninety
miles for maintenance purposes by the
state and national governments, the
question of road repairing and mainte-
nance will be largely settled in the
countJ.

|NCREASED,RATE
TO Be ASKED ON
WATER AND LIGHT
ACCORDING TO PERSISTENT Ru-
MoRS, MATTER BEFORE BOARD
MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
EXPECT NO . DEFINITE ACTION
City Fathers Do Not Believe They
Have Power to Give Permission for
Increase Under Existing Contract
With Company.

Persistent rumors are afloat that
the Columbia Water 4 Light Compa.
ny, at the next regular meetingAof the
board of mayor and aldermen, to be
held Friday evening, will ask for per-
mission to increase rates for water
and light service.
Members of the council do not be-
lieve the city has any authority under
the existing franchise under which
the water and light company is oper-
ating to grant permission to increase
rates.
1t Is known that the management
of the water and light company has
stated that his company is losing mon
ey at the existing rates, on account of
the increased cost of labor, coal and
all other raw materials used in fur
nishing both water and light to the
city.
Under the existing law, the city
board has no authority to grant the in
crease, and application for this must
be made to the public utilities com
mission of the state, but the Water
& Light Company seeks to place the
council on record as turning down the
application, according to belief of
members of the council.
So far as is known, there is very
little business of great Importance to
be taken up at the next meeting of
the board, the tax rate for the year
having been fixed at a special called
meeting recently. Several other ordi-
nances have been disposed of since
the last regular meeting of the board,
and probably one of the most interest
ing matters to be taken up, will be the
discussion Of street paving in the
city.

CONFUSION OVER
HOLDING PRIMARY
MANY CALLS AT THE HERALD
OFFICE DURING MORNING FOR
INSTRUCTIONS.

There was no little confusion this
morning at the various voting places
in the county over the holding of the
primaries. There were no cards of in
struction furnished and calls came
from all parts of the county from the
officers to The Herald asking what
qualifications were necessary for vot-
ing in the primary, whether poll taxes
were required, etc.
The fact too, that al some voting
places the identical officers to hold
the election were also appointed to
hold the primary likewise caused a
good deal Of confusion. AT several
places the election was slow in start
ing and it was nearer 10 O'Clock than
8 o'clock when the polls opened.
