when he reads in the Sun and New York Herald
that Number One Wall Street in New York,
"The Chimney Building as the structure
at the southeast corner OF Broadway and Wall
Street is often called, has been leased to
syndicate for twenty-one years at rental said
to be in excess Of So, 100000. The building,

Broadway and 1919 feet in Wall Street"

which are $500 rooms Qittle houses), occupied

As it takes only little plot of ground for

REPUBLICANS TO
CELEBRATE BIG
TRIUMPH HERE
G. o. P. TO STAGE DEMoNSTRA.
TlON IN COLUMBIA ON NEXT
SATURDAY NIGHT.
PLENTY OF PIE TO CELEBRATE
Already Many Republicans in the
County Are Beginning to Think
About the Rewards State and Ma
tonai that Go to Victors.

Republicans will on Saturday night
| celebrate their victory in the state
and nation with a demonstration in
Columbia. They are urging the re-
publicans from all over the county
and the democrats who aided them in
their victory to come into town on
Saturday night and join in the cele,
bration
The demonstration will take the
form of big parade. 1t will be form
ed on Court Square in front of the
republican county headquarters and
the parade will go through the prin.
cipal streets of the city. There will
be brass band, some torch lights.
There will be a number of floats in
the parade which will illustrate the
magnitude of the victory that has
been achieved. Chairman John w.
Jackson of the county republican
committee, is in charge of the demon
stration.
Already the republicans are begin
ming to talk of the changes that will
be made in office holders in state and
nation. Unlike the victory of Hooper,
the last republican governor, which
was bi partisan or non partisan, the
election of Taylor is strictly a party
victory and in the distribution of
offices will mean a rewarding of the
faithful.
There will be more state and ma
tional pie to distribute than the
republicans of Tennessee have ever
had There will be all kinds of state
jobs to be filled by the new governor
and it is certain that the republicans
Of Maury will be no more backward
about trying to get them than the
democrats have been in the past and
that means that Maury countians will
pick up a good deal of pie.

MAKING READY
NOVEMBER Term
CIRCUIT COURT
JUDGE TURNER HOPES TO CLEAR
DOCKET OF MANY OLD CASES.
BE BUSY SESSION.
MANY INDICTMENTS EXPECTED
Expected That Attorney General viii
Insist Upon True Bills Against
Those Who Have Failed to Pay Dog
Tax for 1920.

Of1cers and court officials are pre-
pairing for the opening of the Novem
Der term of circuit court on Monday
1t is expected that this will be one
OF the busiest terms of court held in
some time.
Although no murder cases have
been set for trial. There are quite a
number of cases in which the defend
ant is charged with assault with in.
tent to commit murder in the first de
gree.
Judge Turner has notified attor
neys that he intends to dispose of
many cases at this term which have
been dragged through the court with
out action from term to term, and an
effort will be made to clear the dock
ct Of these old cases. Attorneys have
been requested to hold themselves in
readiness for trial.
1t is expected that Judge Turner
will instruct the grand jury with ref
erence to indictment of those who
have failed to pay dog tax. Up until
the present time more than 5000 dog
owners of Maury county have failed
to pay this tax and they are each liza
BILE to criminal prosecution. Circuit
Court Clerk Anderson said the fine
and costs, even if the minimum fine
is assessed, will run the cost in each
Indictment to approximately $40,
There has been, apparently a more
general observance of the wheel tax
law this year than last, and it is not
expected that the number of indict-
ments for the evasion Of this law will
be so large as that returned last year
at the November term.

ROAD BONDISSUE
WILL STAND JUST
like IT PASSED
NO LIKELIHOOD OF ITS BEING
REPEALED AT EXTRA SESSION
COUNTY COURT.
THAT ISSUE is NOW SETTLED
People Have Spoken and overwhelm-
ing Majority, 1t Is Contended, Ap-
prove Program Of the State Highway
Commission.

Although the county quarterly court
at it's special session next Monday
can change, alter or amend the reso
lutions which authorized the issuance
of 100000 of highway bonds and
pledged the county to further issues
TO complete the building program
mapped out by the state highway COM
mission, it is absolutely certain that
no changes will be made and that the
resolutions will remain unchanged
The phenomenal victory scored by
DR.. Jones for representative on Tues
day settles the question of how pub
lie sentiment is in Maury county on
the issuance of bonds for roads. The
people are for bond issues and it was
this issue that gave the @emendous
majorities which Jones scored in Mt
Pleasant, Columbia and Bigbyville and
other places. 1t is taken now as set
tied and question that has been agi-
tating the county for the past year
has been disposed Of The opponents
Of the road bond issues have been in
sisting on a referendum. They have
now had it and the issue decided.
But there will be a difference of
opinion on the tax levy. The commit
tee has recommended levy that it is
claimed will not be adequate for eth
er schools, the county fund proper or
for interest and sinking fund on the
bonded debt. This rate will have to-
be Increased. 1t is also practically
certain that the levy for highway main
tenance will be restored, as it is not
believed that the bond issue will be
properly safeguarded under the law
until this is done. There is sure to
be a fight over the tax levy as ORE
faction in the court wants to keep it
to the very lowest possible figure
while there is another element that
would levy sufficient to keep the coun-
ty from having to borrow money
There will, in addition to the tax
levy be a poor house commissioner
elected on next Monday and consid-
erable amount of routine matters to
transact.

TO Open BIDS
ON Debt BONDS
FRIDAY NIGHT
FINANCIAL CONCERNS OF COUN-
TRY CONTINUE TO FILE BIDS
WITH CITY RECORDER.
BONDS FREE FROM STATE TAX
No Further Business Is Expected Be-
fore Council-MunicuaIity Operat-
ing Within Budget Appropriations,
Officials Say.

Bids continue to stream in at the
Office of City Recorded Kannon on
the 100000 worth of floating indebted
ness bonds, recently authorized by a
vote of the citizens of Columbia.
These bids will be opened at the
regular meeting of the board of may
or and aldermen to be held Friday
evening. 1t is not unlikely that the
bonds will be placed through the
banks of Columbia, that is if the bids
are in line, as the bonds which are to
be sold bear interest at the rate of
six per cent and are exempt from
both state and county tax, making a
most attractive investment.
1t is not expected that any other
business of great importance will be
brought up at the meeting of the
council, No new ordinance, so far as
is known, will be introduced and it is
expected that the melting will be a
short one.
City officials are congratulating
themselves upon the condition of the
finances at the present time During
the year the municipal government
has been operated entirely within the
budget appropriations, and it is
thought that when the end of the
year. arrives neat little sum will
remain in the Golfers of the munich
pality to be added to the funds for
1921.

democrat, of 10000 votes. II is believ-
ed that the final majority of the re-
publican will run around 10000.
Returns from practically the same
precincts that reported the above vote
give Harding lead in the state of
5000. The vote for president is lit
tie less complete than that for COVER
nor, due to the fact that there was
more interest in citing the vote for
governor and for that reason 1t is es-
timated that Harding's lead will be in
creased by more than that of Taylor
Returns to the Nashville Banner give
Harding not less than 5000 The re-
turns compiled by the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal from over the state
give him 10000 majority, while the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune fig
ures him 10000.
There has been no change in the
congressional situation. Moons de-
feat by Brown in the third district is
admitted and the returns from the
fourth district do not change the an
nouncement that Hull has been elect
ed. While Browning claims his cleo
tion in the eighth the figures indicate
victory for Scott, republican.
Complete returns from the second
district upset former dope and show
Park Worley's reelection to the SEN
ate.
The republicans and independents
captured a number of seats in the leg
islature, not less than half dozen
democratic nominee being defeated in
Middle Tennessee stronholds. Unques-
tionably had the republicans taken
full advantage of the situation they
would very largely have increased
