laturc.
From Tuesdays Daily Herald

At the next meeting of the county
board of education on the first Mon
day an attendance OF truant officer
will be elected. II is the purpose of
County Superintendent Graham and
the members of the board to rigidly
enforce the compulsory school law
during the coming term. This law re-
quises the children between seven and
sixteen years to attend school Public
sentiment is largely behind the law
and no great difficulty is expected in
having it enforced.
During the entire term last year
only two or three arrests were neces,
sary although a large number of chu-
dren We're found out OF school by the
tfuant officer Bun generally as soon
as the law was, brought to the atten
ton OF the delinuent parents and the
penalties explained the children were
promptly placed in school
There will be an interesting contest
for truant officer before the board as
two candidates have been prominent
ly mentioned. They are Prof. O. L.
Hardison, who was the truant officer
last session, and Miles p Murphy, OF
the fifth district, who has just retired
from the county board after service
of four years. Both of the prospective
candidates are popular and both ara
enthusiastic school men and either
would make a capable officer They
have each had good deal of expert,
ence in school management and in adj
dition Prof. Hardison has taught.

STOP OVER ALLOWED

CARS THAT WILL LEAVE cOLUM-
BiA-FOR HOUSTON ARE BEING
RAPIDLY FILLED UP.

Stop over privileges will be allowed
on the railroad tickets to Houston.
Texas, Gen. John L. Jones irN charge
of arrangements here, has been advis-
ed. This is an unusual concession and
one that will be greatly appreciated
by those who buy the tickets.
Gen. Jones stated that the cars for
the reAnion were filling up rapidly and
that parties who desired to make the
trip should see him without further
delay The special train will leave
here on October 4 and return on Octo-
Der 10. The tickets will, however, be
good for return until midnight on Oc-
tober 81. 1t ID expected that Maury
county's delegation of Confederate sol
diers attending the reunion will be the
largest sent in several years. Provi-
sion will be made to pay the expenses
of all who are financially unable to
bear that burden themselves. Only
the old soldiers who are too feeble to
leave home will be denied the pleasure
of the trip.

TO PUBLISH CATTLE
MARKET IN FUTURE
HERALD'S REPORTS WILL CARRY
THE QUOTATIONS ON THE
NASHVILLE YARDS.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Hereafter The Herald will carry the
full Nashville live stock markets. Not
only will it give the quotations on
hogs and sheep and lambs, bat the
cattle quotations will be given in full.
Our readers should understand, how
ever, that cattle quotations are nero
ly, after all, an approximation. There
are so many different grades or classi-
cations of cattle and two buyers might
not always place the cattle in the
same classification and this would be
especially true of two farmers not ex-
perienced in grading them. But the
quotations in effect on the Nashvill 2
market will be given daily in these
columns together with the receipts at
that market.
After October l, The Herald will dis
continue it's Louisville market, believ-
ng that the people here are sufficient
ly familiar with the range between
that and the Nashville market to get
good line on quotations without the
expense of two telegraphic reports.
The new plan will cost additional, not
only in Geographic tolls but in space
which is invaluable, but The Herald
has always gone on the theory that
the best possible service for its farm

Although it Is matter of just six
weeks from today until the state and
national election Is held there has not
been time in the past twenty years
in Maury county when politics was as
little a subject of discussion as it is
now There is hardly any interest
whatever in the campaign. 1t is not

This despite the fact that six weeks

That is the race for the state senate.

the primary by twenty-three votes
and even that slender margin was
largely due to the failure of the oppo-

then woman's suffrage was rairoader
through the legislature and some of
the former warmest supporters of the

others are openly against him. But

foster such an organization for each

AS an outcome of this action by
the institute. Col. Harry Berry, the
new president of the organization; G.
G.. Burkitt secretary, and Prof Refer,
director of the division of extension.
met with leaders in some of the coun-
ty councils at Nashville recently and
took steps to inaugurate special
drive for county council of agricnl-
ture organization for that section. The
plan is to hold get-together meetings
and picnlcs in the various counties
at which leaders in other county coun
ellis will discuss the value of the organ
ization in their county and tell what
they have accomplished. Marry. VII
hanson, Lawrence, Wilson and few
other counties have already had such
meetings and they have proven great
value.
Leaders state that there is no~bet
ter place to engineer spirit of coop
GRAFTON than at picnic or meeting
like the one planned The spirit of
organization is strong among the
farmers throughout the country. The
county council of agriculture is the ar
cepted form It's duties are to promote
interest of rural people in the same
way that chamber of commerce pro
notes interest of the city.
The duty of the council is to antici.
pate and foster everything that is for
the betterment of the people of the
county; to benefit the farmer and at
the same time bring about a communi-
ty interest between farm people ant
town people. The plan OF organization
is simple. In many councils Of the
state the councils are doing many
things for ehe farmers. Montgomery
county will hold get-together meet
ing October II, which will be one of
the first in the special drive.

DR.. CHERRY NOT
TO RETURN FOR

PASTOR OF FIRST METHODIST
cHURcH MAKES ANNOUNCE
MENT TO CONGREGATION.
WILL HIMSELF ASK CHANGE
Although the Quarterly Conference by
Good Majority Voted to Request
That He Be Returned to This
Charge for the Coming Year.
{ From Mondays Daily Herald.

From Mondays Daily Herald)
DR.. j. w. Cherry, for the past two
years pastor of the First Methodist
and altogether pastor OF that church
for six years, will not be returned 10
this charge for another year. That an
nouncement was made to the cong:e-
cation Of the church on Sunday morn
ing by DR.. Cherry. He will request
that the action of the fourth quarterly
conference last Monday night, in re.
questing his return to the pastorate,
be ignored by the presiding elder and
bishop presiding, and that he be sent
to some other charge.
The auditorium of the First Metho-
dist church was packed Sunday morn
ing to hear the important announce
ment' from the pastor. DR.. Cherry be.
gan his discourse by a discussion of
the itinerant system Of the Methodist
church. which he declared, more than
any other feature Of its policy, was
Irresponsible for its remarkable growth
and development But the success of
the itineraney, he daclared was de.
pendent on the acceptance by the con
gegation Of any pastor who might be
sent to it, and the Willingness OF the
preachers to go wherever sent If
congregation refused to accept pas.
tor or pastor refused to accept his
assignment the system would break
down.
DR.. Cherry then referred to his own
experience in the ministry and said
that he had served this congregation
altogether for six years, that between
the time he first came to this change
seventeen years ago and now the
membership OF the church had doubled
and its wealth more than trebled, but
he said that contributions of the mem.
bers to the support of the gospel had
not.kept pace with the increase in the
wealth of the church. He paid trib.
ute to the official board and to the
members.
TIE pastor said that at the last quar-
terly conference he had asked the
board to vote on whether or not they
desired him to- return for another
year; that majohity had voted in
the affirmative. 1t was a good MAORI
ty but it was not unanimous and he re-
cognized the fact that there was oppo.
sition to his return He had gone
home, thought over and prayed over
the matter, and after sleepless night.
he had decided in view of all the cir
cumstances, to ask the presiding ell.
der to ignore the action of the confer
ence and select another appointment
for him. DR.. Cherry said he had taken
this step for the best interests of the
church which he loved, that he had
nothing but the warmest feeling for
all the members of the official board.
He took occasion to pay a tribute to
Chairman Edward P. Turner. whom he
pronounced one of the best men he
had ever known. Dr. Cherry's state
ment puroduced a profound impress
sion
Dr. Cherry is one of the best preach
ers and best loved men who ever serv.
ed the church here. He was pastor
from 1903 to 1907. He is closing his
thirty second year in the Methodist
