1t is true that The Herald and the
average citizen can see no occasion
for twenty foot road. Sixteen feet
is wider than necessary. Better have
a nine foot road all over the county
than forty or fifty miles of boulevards
with the remainder of the county in
the mud. The road engineers and OF
llcials have gone wild on the subject.
II is unfair to eXpend all the revenue
on comparatively q few miles of road.
But as stated, no consideration was
given to these objections by the Off
Gals who have the funds in the hol-
klow of their hands hence it was sub
mission to a plan that was unfair and
inequitable and unjust to the great
mass of the citizens or pass over to
some other county nearly a third of

taxpayers of Maury county. There
was no alternative and under the cir
cumstances the acceptance of the bid

DEMOCRATS TO
MEET SATURDAY
AT COURT HOUSE
COUNTY COMMITTEE WILL PRO
VIDE PLANS FOR SELECTING
STATE DELEGATES.
CHAIRMAN lOONEY ISSUES CALL
important Question to Be Decided Is
Whether or Not a Mass or Delegat-

to Nashville.

For the purpose of providing for
the election of delegates to the state
democratic convention in Nashville
next month and to determine whether
or not there will be primary for
county officers in Maury county this
year, the county democratic executive
committee has been called to meet at
the court house on next Saturday.
The call for the meeting of the com
m:ttee was issued this morning by
Chairman Edward d. Looney, and is
rs follows:
"The democratic executive commit
ee of Maury county is hereby called
to meet in the circuit court room at
Columbia, Tenn, on next Saturday,
Nay the 18th, 1920, to consider the Sc
lection of delegates to the democratic

uest full attendance.

Under the rules adopted by the state
democratic executive committee the
delegates from all of the counties to
he state convention must be select
I'd at conventions held in the court
houses on Saturday, May 90 If a del
,gated convention is held in any coun-
y the delegates must be elected in
primary held on Wednesday, May 10.
Hence the important matter to be de-
2ided by the committee Saturday is
whether or not the convention on Sat

gention or delegated convention If
precedent is followed and asdelegated
convention is called then the commit
ee must arrange for the primary 9th
erwise simply a mass convention will

1t is hardly probable that a county

WALTER DIRECT
PREMIER PACING
Sire OF WORLD
is CREDITED IN YEAR BOOK
WITH FoRTY-SEvEN STAND
ARD PERFORMERS
TEN PRODUCING DAUGHTERS
Has to His Credit Two Fastest PAGERS
Napoleon Direct and Grace Direct,
Ever Got BY One Stallion in Histo'
ry OF Turf.


Recording the death of Walter Di
rect 2.05M, which occurred last week
at Tolley Farm, the Horse Review, the
premier publication Of its kind IN this
country, declares that his loss is a
very great one and ranks him as the
premier pacing sire of the present
time
Passing over the record of his short
career on the race track, which was
one of the most notable in horse an
nails, the Horse Review presents the
facts and figures to prove his claim
to be the greatest sire of extreme
speed in the history of the turf To
add to his fame it predicts that Grace
Direct, that wonderful product of To-
ley Farm, will this season make q
mark of two minutes or less which will
give Walter Direct two in this list, tho
only sire in the history of the world
ever having made such record.
The following is taken from th(
Horse Reviews estimate:
Columbia, Tenn, under the manage
ment of Chafiin Bros, and his get be
gan to distinguish him as a sire as
soon as they appeared in public. He
remained in service there until some
three years ago, whenE the Chaffln
Bros. retired from breeding and he
was sold at auction. Col. James Haz
elton, of Frankfort, Ind, then secured
him and placed him in the stud there
where he was largely patronized Las
fall Mr.. 'Tolley, who was enlarging his
breeding interests, in Difference to the
popular call for the return of Walter
Direct to his native state, purchased
him and went back to Columbia, to 6
new home at Tolley Farm, amid much
rejoicing. There he promised to do
big stud season for half dozen years
more, but now all these prospects are
blighted by his so unexpected and pre-
mature death His sire, Direct Hal,
was but nineteen when he died, and
Walter Direct is now gone from us at
twenty.
BY common consent Walter Direct
ranked as the premier pacing sire OF
the present time. The Year Book,
Vol. 35, credits him with a total OF
II standard performers, all PAGERS,
with producing sons and 10 produc
ing daughters. AS the sire of Napo
leon Direct 1:59% and Grace Direct
2:00h Qast seasons premier pacing
money winner, Walter Direct was
credited with the two fastest PAGERS
ever gotten by one stallion. In al
he had total of fourteen in the 2:10
list, as follows: Napoleon Direct
1;59% Grace Direct 2:00R, Walter
Hal 1904, The Assessor 2:04A, Mani
toba 2:04A, Col Armstrong 2:05A,
Walter II 2:05H, Annie Laurie 205h
Merry Direct 2,O6%, Spy Direct 2;06A
Jessie Direct ,2:O7H, Halle d. 2;0Sh
Halle Direct 2;09M, Direct Spy 2;10
His daughters have produced High |
land Lassie 2:071a and Pat Carmody |
2:071a His son Merry Direct, is sire
of Main Direct 2:09A.
AS Grace Direct is expected tc
cross the line" this season, it seems !
likely that Walter Direct will gain the |
honor of being the first horse to sire
two two-minute PAGERS. His loss is
truly, as Mr.. Tolley says, big one in |
every way.

advancement Of the agricultural in

1t is hoped that by the next time the
directors meet at The court house the
new quarters in the basement will be
ready for them. The committee div

work done and consisting Of Judge

THE ROAD CONTRACT.

AS an original proposition the con-
struction of boulevards at $4,000 a
mile in this county cannot be defend
ed. There are some twelve hundred
miles of public roads in the county
and to do exact justice to all and build
them at even half that cost per mile
would reqnire millions Of dollars and
entail too great burden upon the
people. The Herald has never been
Yards or speedways in the county to
be used largely for tourists and the
pleasure of the owners of great high
| powered cars. 1t has long had the
idea that highways were primarily
to move the produce of the farms to
market and take the evidences of
culture and civilization that the farm
ers buy from the marts of trade to
their homes.
But under the circumstances that
existed when it was proposed to build
highways in this county at an eX-
pense of $4,000 a mile, two-thirds of
the cost to be contributed by the state
and federal governments from taxes
heretofore and hereafter to be collect
ed from the people of this county, this
paper did not see how the court could
refuse the necessary appropriation.
That was ten months ago. Since then
labor and material have both increas-
ed despite frantic efforts to reduce
the cost of living through legislative
legerdermain, and this paper was pre-
pared for fifty per cent advance, but
it was astounded when that advance
was 200 per cent. Somebody erred
and erred most grievously when the
estimate of $12 900 mile was made
and the consequent resentment is nat.
ural. 1t was inevitable. The people
feel that they have been deceived.
The situation at Nashville Wednes-
day when the bids were opened on the
first link of the highway in this coun-
ty was simply this: The state and
federal aid, to the extent of around
100000, for the road will cost will

then and there, and accepted without
any sort of reservations, then the
100000 of state and federal funds
would be given to some other county
ready to meet the conditions. This |
was exactly the situation Although |
they did it in a more polished man.
ner the effect of the attitude of the |
state commission and the federal /
agent was simply this: Gentlemen,
we have here about 100000 of your
money. 1t is absolutely under our con-
troll. You may have il If you will

$4,000 Unless you come across this
100000 that Maury county people
have contributed to the state and fed
eral treasures will be handed over to

Under these circumstances there
was but one thing to do. That was to

and not permit it and the state and
