In cities this fact is recognized more
than anywhere else The fight for
existence makes it necessary. Young
people learn. early the imp portance of
making good appearance. They
sense the fact, even il it has never
been taught them, that their abilities
are appraised and characters read by
the evidence Of their appearance and
demeanor. Looks and poise, therefore,
have a real commercial value in ex-
cry day business life. The person
who is properly dressed and neatly
groomed conveys a pleasing impress
sion Of success and efficiency. 70
have the hair dressed too elaborately
and the clothes extravagantg and un-i
suitable for the time or place is just
as much a mistake as to appear un-

however. will not last unless given
proper care. Anyone who possesses

worth, Is never unwilling to take
proper precautions to u guard that
possession. So women who are grace
full and beautiful By nature have ey-
cry reason to make q study Of those
methods which are considered best
for the preservation Of beauty. And
other women, less beau tiful, but who,

TORRENTIAL RAINS
DID MUCH DAMAGE
VERlTABLE CLOUDBURST OCCUR
RED AT MANY PLACES IN
COUNTY ON DAY OF STORM.

Damage from the torrential rains
that accompanied the wind and cleo
trical storm of Tuesday should figure
considerably in aggregating the loss
es in the county. Even in sections
where there was no wind or damage
from the lightning much havoc was
wrought by veritable cloudbursts Of
which in some communities there
were two or three during the day. The
roads, particularly where they were
freshly worked, were badly washed,
the new material being an easy mark
for rains that no bitches or culverts
could carry. Fields that had just
been disced and prepared for corn, es-
pecially where the land is rolling,
were quilted and much of the soil
found it's way down into the roads or
went to the creeks. Small rivulets
that frequently run dry in the summer
time, became raging torrents. A
great many water gates and consider.

MUCH TIMBER WAS DESTROYED
Fences Blown Down Throughout This
Section, and Immense Damage Is
Done Farm Lands by Torrential
Rain Accompanying Wind.

Belated storm reports received
from the Parsons Bend section, show
that Tuesdays cyclone wrought ter.
rible havoc there. Great damage was
done at the home of w. J. Parsons,
whose barn was unroofed, his fences
being blown away, and several acres
of fine timber being destroyed

down and buggies damaged quanti-
ty of fine timber was blown down and
fences blown away.

Howell that Miss Ella Hughes was
injured. Half of Mr.. Howells house
being blown away, the second story
being lifted off. Miss Hughes receiv-

badly damaged by the flood which ac-
companied the hurricane, and farm
lands were deeply quilted and badly
washed.
Clifford Parsons, son of W. ]. Par

from the storm area. He reports al
most complete destruction of every
thing in the community. He says
that when the fences were blown
away cattle in that section got out on
the commons and it was difficult
task to round them up. He spent the
day Wednesday in helping stretch
new fence on his fathers place. He
decided to give up his place with the
w. w. Evans Company here and re-
turn to the farm in order that he may
be of assistance to his father in put,
ting things in order there.

of the county's leading meat packers,

HOW DID NEGROES
Get ON LIST OF
COP. DELEGATES
TWO APPEAR FROM MAURY ON
THE PRINTED ROLL OF STATE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
BARKER IS ALSO MysTIFIED
ErstwhIe. Leader of Faction in This
County in Some Way Got on Coun-
ty Committee After the Adjourn
ment of Convention.

How did DR.. Hunter and Rev. Boon
both negroes, get on the roll of the re-
publican state convention as delegates
from Maury county? That is a ques
tion that is calling no little interest
among the republicans here who have
been fortunate enough to receive
printed copies of the roll Of delegates
and alternates to the recent state con-
vention.
Neither DR.. Hunter nor Rev. Boon
were elected delegates by the county
convention. Not only that but not a
single negro was placed on the dele
cation to either the state or congress
sional conventions. Not a solitary ne
gro attended the county convention
and that fact was commented upon
in the report of the proceedings in
The Herald
But between the convention here
and the printing of the roster of dele
gates at Nashville in some way, the
names of two prominent negro repub-
licans were added. 1t is charged by
some of the so-called "disgruntled'
republicans of the county that the
leaders here deliberately planned to
be Oily white" to the outside world
but at the same time entered into a
secret deal with the negroes whereby
the latter were assured Of private re-
cognition. 1t is further charged that
one of the negroes printed" as del,
egate actually attended the Chattanoo-
ga convention and participated there
in.
Equally as interesting as the meth.
cd whereby the two negroes got on
the roll of delegates is the manner in
which William Barker's name got ON
the roll of the county executive com
mittee as published by the state com
mittee. Mr. Barker denied any knowl
edge of knowing that his name was on
the committee until his attention was
called to the "Roster of Republican
County Committeeman" issued by the
state committee. He was not elected
member of the county committee at
the county convention March Is. Now
how did the two negroes and Mr.. Bar
ker get recognition at Nashville de
MED them in Columbia?

This bridge has not been in first
class condition for several years and
during the past two or three months
has been subjected to increased wear
due to the fact that the bridge in the
Mt. Joy section at Jennings had be-
come impossible. This diverted
large portion of the Mt. Joy traffic by
way of this bridge.
The foTI at this place is rather
treacherous one and it is doubtful il
it can be used for automobiles. There
is said to ybe quicksand In the bot
tom of the creek, making it uncertain
about always getting out.
