GREAT DEMAND !.

STOCKHOLDERS OF co.oPERA-
TIVE ASSOCIATION WILL BE
CALLED SOON.
DISCUSS INCREASED CAPACITY
Not Unlikely That Steps VIII Be TAX
en- to Provide Machinery Which
viii Materially Increase Output Of
New Plant here.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
1t is not unlikely that a meeting of
the stockholders of the Cooperative
Creamery Association will be called
within the next few days for the pur-
pose of discussing the need of increas-
ed facilities for butter making at the
new plant.
According to member of the board
of directors of the Creamery Associ-
alton, the new plant is now receiving
more cream than can be conveniently
handled there, and there is demand
for every pound Of butter that can
possibly be manufactured there.
During the first week the creamery
was in operation here, it established
a new record for cooperative creamers
les or the state, and since that time
the output has been largely increased,
and is still being increased just as
rapidly as possible.
1t has been stated by members Of
the board Of directors that there is a
cream supply sufficient to increase the
output Of butter to three times the
present capacity of the plant.
The establishment of the co-opera-
tive creamery here has given tre-
mendous impetus to the dairying in
terests of the county. More farmers
than ever before are interested in fine
dairy cattle, and are realizing a sub
stantlal profit on this still undevelop-
ed and great industry. Dairying in
Maury county is rapidly taking its
rightful place, and is placing the coun-
ty to the top as one of the leading dali
rying counties OF the state.
" Columbia now has two creameries,
of which she has right to be proud,
and should at all times boost. Co
lumbia users of butter should demand
that 1t be made III Columbia. thereby
saving freight and keeping money at
home.

ROBERTS CLUB

FIRST MONDAY
MOST ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
or CLUB HELD AT COURT
HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
SPEAKERS TO CANVASS COUNTY
Columbia Orators viii Interest Them.
selves in Interest Of Democratic
Platform and Reelection Of Cover
nor Roberts.
tFrom Tuesdays Daily Herald,)

tFrom Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Plans were made at an enthusiastic
meeting OF the 7 Jberts Democratic
Club held last night to bring to Column
bia on the first Monday in August a
speaker thoroughly familiar with Ten
nessee's new tax law, which at the
present time is so much discussed,
and so generally misunderstood.
To arrange for the speaker and to
make other and all necessary arrange
ments, Chairman Webster appointed
J. G. VOORHEES, and T. B. Forgey. 1t
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
Of the club that the speaker should
address the crowd from the west door
Of the court house, Immediately after
IA O'Clock, but no definite arrange
ments were made to this effect
A committee was also appointed to
arrange for local speakers to fill APP
pointments at several country schools
and stores before the day of election,
and it is not unlikely that these speak
ers win make whirlwind campaign
ON Saturday.
The speaker of last nights meeting
was Col Thomas HI. PEBBLES, known
far and wide as 'yaller dog demo-
crat" COL PEBBLES said personalities
should not enter the approaching pri-
mary, and that voters should not vote
for the man, but for the platform. He
said the platform on which Cover
nor Roberts is standing is wholly the
democratic platform, and that all dem
Ocrats must choose between that plat
form and the one Of which another
candidate is seeking the nomination.
Mr.. PEBBLES said that voters should
also send t01the Legislature men who
will stand flatfopted upon the demo
cratic platform, and wiliserveathe ins
terests Of the party. Cor Peebles SAID
it would be most embarrassing to re-
elect Governors Roberts and at the
same time send to the Legislature, men
who would tie the governors hands.
: To those who lay SO much stress on
the counstitutionality of all. things,
Chairman Webster called attention. Of
club amembers tp the fsctS t6at both
the old and new constitution OF the
state of Tennessee expressly provided
that property IN the state shall BE as
sessed at market value. Not only does
the constitution require that this be
done, but there are laws seeking to
enforce this section Of the constitu
ton. Other governors have failed to
enforce this section of the constitu-
ton, and 1t has been the record of the
party that they have to a man been
given second term-fOr failure,
and now comes Governor Roberts who
has succeeded in doing what both
democratic and republican candidates
for governor have been promising for
ten years to do, and democrats who
stand upon the partys platform
should be proud to support a man who
has succeeded in enacting into law.
the principles for which the party
stood.

commissions carefully goes oyer@the
names of the taxpayers of the yari-
