KNOWN OLD CONFEDERATE,
PASSES AWAY.

In the midst of plans to attend the
reunion of Confederate veterans OF
Middle Tennessee here today, sum-
mons to that Great Reunion came at

gustus Mcmillan, aged seventy-two
years, and one of the most widely

stars and bars through that bloodiest
of modern wars with distinction to
himself and honor to his country.
After the close of the war he re.
turned to Maury county and engaged
in farming. He was widely known.
and held in the highest esteem by all
who knew him. He was member of
Zion Presbyterian church.

PRIMARY BOARD
NOT CERTIFIED
FORDEMOCRATS
STATE COMMITTEE FAILED TO
ACT ON RECOMMENDATIONS
OF COUNTY COMMITTEE.
OLD MEMBERS ARE NOTIFIED
They Are Not Going to Serve Since
Others Have Been Recommended to
Take Their Places and Too Late
Now for New Appointments,

Things are nightly tangled here
on the primary committee of the dem
ocratic party. 1t will be remembered
that more than month ago the coun-
ty democratic committee met and re-
commended primary committee of
five members to the state committee.
1t is said that these recommendation
were duly certified to the state COM
mittee, but the state committee elect
ed and certified the appointment of
the old primary committee of two
years ago. In the past week Charles
p Hatcher, Hugh Todd Shelton and
Wingfeld Harris, members of the old
board, have been notified by the state
committee of their appointment and
directed to take the oath of office.
But as they were not nominated by
the county committee they are not in
clined to serve. Mr. Shelton has stat
ed frankly that mistake had been
made and he was not going to serve.
1t Is understood that the others take
the same position 1t is said that it
is too late now under the law to re.
convene the democratic state commit
tee and make new appointments.
With the old primary board refusing
to serve it looks like Maury county
will not have any primary committee
whatever. A primary board is abso-
lutely necessary and no officers to
hold the primary in August for the
Legislature, for governor and for. rail
road commissioner can be named
without board.
The republicans are more fortu
nately situated. Their county COM
mittee made it's recommendations
about the same time the democrats
did and the state committee has APP
proved them. What will be the out
come Of the democratic tangle no one
can predict.

MANY WITNESSES ARE SUMMONED
Only in Few Cases Were the Figures

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
Probably more changes were made
in the assessment of property In the
fifth district, by the county board of
equalization on Thursday when it de-
voted the entire day to the district
than in any district of the county.
The board had not been satisfied with
the assessment of this district and
had summoned several of the most
prominent and best informed citizens
of the district to appear on Friday
and aid in making the assessment
of the district more in line with what
the board thought it ought to be.
Among The citizens of the fifth dis.

There were a few isolated cases
where the members reached the con-
clusion that the assessment was too

sEvENTY-FIvE PER CENT ON
ACCOUNT CULTIVATION. !,

The 1920 corn acreage of Maury
county is fifty per cent OF that of
1919, according to County Agent Nc
Lean, but with anything like con-
tinuance of favorable weather condi-
tons, the corn yield of the county
will be at least seventy-nve per. cent
of last years returns, because OF the
intensive manner in which farmers
are cultivating this season.
Farmers who have made the test,
say there is nothing like culuvating
corn when dry weather sets in. Mr..
Mclean is advising the use OF the
Gee Whiz cultivator every ten days
to keep the ground moist around the.
roots of the corn. Mr.. Mclean ssid
that If Gee Whiz cultivator was
run through the corn every ten days
during dry weather. the corn would
almost make good yield in spite
of drough. -

1t was reported here today on what
is considered reliable authority that
Judge Andrew HI. Wigs, of Perry
county, had qualified as candidate
for the state senate from this district.
Upon hearing the report The Herald
made an unsuccessful attempt to get
in touch with Judge Wigs. A call to
Linden, his home, brought the infor-
nation that he was in Nashville. He
passed through Columbia day or
two ago en- route to Nashville but so
far as can be learned he did not while
here make any announcement of his
intentions.
Judge Wigs will unquestionably be
strong candidate. He is one OF the
foremost citizens of Perry county. He
has served it creditably in the legis-
lature and as Judge of the county
court. He is one of the largest farm
ers of the county. During the world
war Judge Wigs directed practical
ly all of the war work in that county.
Although over forty years of age he
declined to claim any exemption from
military service and at the time of the
armistice was seeking appointment
as a member of the great officers
training camp on the Pacific coast.
He Is intensely patriotic and gave of
his time and money during the war to
every activity of his county.
Judge Wigs has large. number
of warm personal friends in Maury
county and in his own county he has
in every contest demonstrated his
great popularity. 1t is known that he
has not been in sympathy with the
existing assessment act. ~,

more food fish than the people of
Texas got in year.
Mistakes Campaign Against GuIls.
THE assailants of the birds placed
their numbers at a million and started
the slogan: Kill the pelican or the
kaiser will get you They appealed
to the federal food administration to
aid in destroying the bird to. save the
flsh. BY cooperation between the
federal and state authorities l under
took an investigation of the habits
of the bird and made a cruise with
party visiting all but one of the is
lands on which they were supposed to
breed. This showed that instead of
numbering million, their number
could not exceed $4,000. It also
showed that they lived exclusively on
menhaden. fish not eaten by hr-
mans.
"One Of these periodic flare-ups
against birds actually left a deep mark
on the development of the country and
is truly an historic episode. 1t is re-
counted by e. H. Furbush, state
ornithologist of Massachusetts, that
the inhabitants of Southern Harbor a
great many years ago became alarmed
at the great flOcks of gulls which con-
gregated there to eat the heads and
remains Of tho fish 1,,biob vy-oro +b,n,,,,,
into the water 1t is frequent charge
against the gulls that they destroy
food fish, but the fact is that they are
almost exclusively sc6vengers. The
antl-bird fever spread over this COM
munity and gulls were slaughtered I'M
til they were eXterminated. Then
what happened? The tons of fishhead
and refuse thrown into the water was
washed up along the beaches, causing
stencil and sickness and making the
place uninhabit6ble. 1t ended with
the Southwest Harbor people leaving
the region almost in body and found
ing Bar Harbor, Me.
One of the few communities, on
the other hand, to appreciate and
remember benefits they have received
I from birds are the Salt Lake City
Mormons.
when they first settled the vicinity
of Salt Lake, grasshoppers came on
them, like the plaques of locusts, set
tling on the ground in myriads and
threatening the complete destruction
! of their crops. Then the seagulls came
out of the lake, eating the insects by
the millions, even lighting in the
yards and making their way into
buildings to catch them. They ex-
terminated the grasshoppers and saved
the colony from famine And very
recently there was unveiled in Salt
