MRS. LOUISE M'ADAMS
GRANTED1A DIVORCE
SETTLEMENT OF ALIMONY is
MADE OUTSIDE OF THE COURT,
DECREE STATES.

Mrs. Louise McAdams was grant
ed an absolute divorce from w. Gen
try McAdams by Chancellor Thomas
H. Lyle on Saturday afternoon. 1t
will be recalled that recently Mrs. Nc
Adams filed a sensational bill against
her husband to whom she was married
forty years ago.
The case was heard Saturday after
noon and a decree for absolute di-
vorce was granted. 1t appears from
the decree that Mr.. McAdams had
made satisfactory settlement for
claims for alimony and for attorneys
fees. the bill was dismissed on those
points. 1t was also dismissed as to the
several defendants against whom it
had been filed and who were alleged
to have the custody and control of
the funds of the defendant.
No statement was made as to the
settlement except that it was satisfac-
tory to Mrs McAdams and to her
counsel.

DOG OWNERS ARE 2. =. :.
F''f URGED TO PAY TAX
ASSESSOR WILLIAMS CALLS AT
TENTloN TO WARNING OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
- ! --.- WHO'RE vi

There has been a decided improve
ment in the collection of dog taxes
recently but the delinquent list is
still large one, and there are thous-
ands of dogs assessed in the county
upon which the tax has not yet been
paid. The attorney general has warn.
ed the people that if when the grand
jury again convened the taxes have
not been paid he will insist upon in
dictments.
Attention was called to this fact
this morning by Webb Williams, the
county tax assessor, who said: 81
hope that no one will be indicted in
Maury county for failure to pay the
dog tax, but that all who have dogs
will promptly pay this tax so that
drastic measures will not be necessa-
ry. The attorney general has warned
the people that he will present the
matter to the grand jury if these taxes
are not paid. Many are paying the
tax, but there are still thousands Of
delinquents and it is matter that
should not be neglected longer"

SPRING HILL ROUTE

GET TRAFFIC THROUGH TO

Continued wet weather and the
building of the state highway from
here to Spring Hill is making it an
exceedingly difficult matter for traf-
flc to be moved in that section of the
county. Manager Beck, of the Chero-
Cola Company, stated this morning
that it was impossible to get truck
through from here to Spring Hill and
that practically that entire section of
the county was cut off from Column
tia
1t is no longer possible to detour
around by the Carter's Creek pike be-
cause of the condition of the new fill
on the Beech Grove road. A new con-
crete bridge was recently erected on
this road, and the fill has not yet set
tied. The heavy rains of the past two
weeks have made it perfect lob
lclly and it is understood that two or
three cars spent the night on this fill,
being mired below the hubs. Only
change in the weather and some sun
shine can afford any immediate relief.
Just as soon as possible the road
commission will have this fill met
tailed.

HOUSE MEMBERS !.
FROM MAURY TO.

UNDERSTOOD THAT HAYS AND

STAND BY THE CONSTITUTION
Senator Clarke Expresses Hope That
the House viii Not Yield to the
Tremendous Pressure to Put over
the Amendment. L. 4,. 4..,-..

Unless there is some overwhelming
evidence that will lead them to
change their minds it is practically
certain that Representatives William
J. Russell and Sam A. Hays, of Maury
county, will join Senator Clarence Y.
Clarke in opposition to the ratifica.
ton of the woman's suffrage amend
ment. Like Senator Clarke they take
the position that under their oaths of
allegiance to the constitution of the
state they cannot vote for ratifica-
ton.
Messrs. Russell and Hays spent the
weekend at their homes and it was
learned that both are of the opinion
that under the constitution of this
state they have very grave doubt of
their right to vote for ratification of
& federal amendment Senator Clarke
stated at Mt. Pleasant Sunday that he
was hopeful that the ratification reso-
luton would. be beaten in a the house.
But" said Senator, Clarke, "the
pressure that is being brought to bear
on the members to vote for ratifica-
ton is tremendous. OF course we
know that the great majority of the
people back at home either want us
to stand by the constitution or they
are wholly Indifferent to the question.
But at Nashville the influence of the
state and federal governments, of the
democratic and republican parties and
of the leaders of the suffrage fight is
tremendous. We did not hope to win
in the senate, but am hopeful of the
house. One cannot tell until the vote
is taken, but unquestionably major
ity of the house regard the inhibition
of their state organic law as binding"

LARGER ACREAGE

Fits IN THE CROP ROTATION
Not Profitable as Rule, But Better
Suited for General Scheme Of Farm

From present indications and from
reports that have been received in va
rious sources it is practically certain
that the farmers Of Maury county
will this fall SOW very greatly in
creased acreage of wheat as compared
with that of the past season. Much
CT the wheat that was harvested this
spring is being held by the farmers
for seed and many others are making
inquiry already about their seed
wheat.
Weather conditions so far have
been favorable for the preparation of
the land for fall sowing. Not only
that but in order to get back to a
proper crop rotation broken into dur.
ing the period of war stress, the farm
ers must sow a greater acreage of
wheat. Glover is sown with the wheat
as a general rule. ...-.......... ....
The acreage of red clover harvest
ed in the county this year was excep-
tionally heavy, This land will near
ly all be turned when the seed or Sec
ond crop is taken off. Past experience
has demonstrated that wheat grown
on good clover land, and especially
following yield like the clover fields
have made this year, is pretty prof
liable crop. Comparatively little
stalk land will be sown to wheat be.
cause the farmers have found that
wheat sown on that land is not a
successful crop. 1t is usually in the
ground late and subject to the winter
freezes and again the land from which
a big crop of corn has just been har.
ested is not generally in good condi
ton for making wheat,
While wheat at the present prices
is not profitable crop to the farm
ers of the county yet 1t fits into the
scheme for crop rotation better than
any other small. grain and this &C.
counts for the prospect, for greatly
improved acreage. g .l,r ID.
