MAURY AND PHOENIX NATIONAL
MAKE UNUSUALLY GOOD SHOW
ING AT COMPTROLLER CALL.

Despite the fact that during the
past sixty days there has been a re-
duct.on of over billion dollars in
bank deposits in the nation, the state
ments of the two national banks of
Columbia, published show ! little
change in the deposits as compared
with the last statement, indicating
that financial conditions here are
much better than the country's aver
age. The. reduction of bank deposits
in the nation has been due to the con.
traction of credits as required by the
federal reserve system. The Column
Eia banks both make magnificent
statements. They are taking care of
the needs of their customers and at
the same time pursuing that sound
and conservative policy that has made
them such strength.

the trustee must make up his list of
taxpayers who have not paid the taxes
for last year on their real estate. On

upon which these taxes have not been
paid will be sold at the court house.
From present indications the list is

bid off by the state.

SHEEP SHEARINC
IN COUNTY LATE
BECAUSE Of COLD
VERY LITTLE WOOL HAS so FAR
COME TO THE MARKET IN
COL uMBlA.
FLEECE IS SOMEWHAT LIGHT
Only Forty Cents Being Paid BY the
Dealers here, Decline Of over
Fifty Per Cent AS Compared With
War Prices.

Cold, wet weather is delaying sheep
shearing in the county until an unus
ualy late date. Ordinarily the wool
begins to come freely to market by
the first week of May but SO far very
little has been brought in this sea
SON 1t will take couple Of weeks
OF warm, dry weather before anything
like normal clip will come to market
The fleece generally is rather light
tn s season There was no abundance
Of winter green crops and that always
has all effect on the wool clip. In
normal seasons the sheep in this coun
ty go through the winter almost en-
tlrely on pasture and the farmers here
are not accustomed to fed their ewes
TO any extent. This condition fnevite
ably results in lighter fleece.
The price of wool has declined near
ly fifty per cent in the, past two years
and there ought to be some hope for
cheaper clothing at some time in the
future. Dealers are Offering forty
cents for wool that is free from hurrs,
a fine price compared with pre-war
values, but two years ago over sixty
cents was paid and last year the farm
ers got more than they are receiving
this season.
1t is, impossible to estimate the to
tai wool clip Of the county, but In
spite Of the lighter fleece it is expect
ed to show an increase over that OF
last year, due to the fact that the
sheep population has increased, Even
at the lower price Of forty cents a
pound its value win total pretty big
sum.

MAURY, HORSES

CORNERS GLOBE
HAL AND DIRECT BLOOD HAS
NEVER KNOWN THE DEMAND
THAT EXISTS TODAY.
HAVE INQUIRIES FROM ANTIpOOES
EgnIand is Also After the Blood That
Has Added Fame and Glory to the
DimPle--W alter Directs Death Was
Great Blow.

Never has there been such a de-
mand for horses with Maury county's
famous Hal blood as there is today.
The Halls and the Directs and crosses
Of the two are wanted literally all
over the world. AS an illustration, it
may be stated that during the past
month or so William j. Webster, Jr.,
known as one of the best informed
horsemen of the South, has received
inquiries from as far off as Austria
liza and from London England, for
horses with the Maury county royal
blood in their veins.
Walter Directs get are in demand
at most any prices that the owners
want to ask Geldings, young fillies,
old mares and young stations, it does
not make any difference if they are
by Walter Direct and out of mare Of
Hal breeding they are picked up like
hot cakes until now nearly all of the
stock has gone from Maury county
Walter Direct is even more famous in
death than he was before he joined
the other great horses in the county's
celebrated Valhalla OF horsedom His
colts have been picked up wherever
they could be found in this county.
Only this week William J Webster
purchased from Squire W. E. Ballan-
FAINT the gelding Chatfin Direct, bred
at Sleepy Hollow, paying price more
than double what Squire Ballanfant
paid for the horse. Mr.. Webster be-
lieves that this horse is destined to
go into the list. Another young filly
by Walter Direct, purchased from
Col. Jonas T. Amis, promises to be a
star performer and already some fat
tering offers have been refused for
her. The four year old FLY Julia NJ.
Direct is already assured of a 2:10
mark. ~
1t would not be possible to estimate
the loss that the horse interests of
Maury county have sustained in the
death of the great sire Walter Di-
rect Mr.. Tolley, the owner had
mares booked from more than dozen
states of the Union and many of them
already at Tolley Farm.
