large numbers, although the time for

ty expired February |, after which
time the owner of an automobile who
operates his car upon any public high

county or state officials for non-pay-
ment of license, aud is also subject

imposed, nor so far as has been re-
ported. no arrests have been made.
County Court Clerk Lipscomb realizes
that II was impossible for all automo-
bile owners to secure their 1920 tags
during the month OF January. and for
this reason no penalty has been impos-
ed, but warning is given that It will
not be safe to operate an automobile
with the 1919 plate many days longer.

TO DISCUSS.PLAN
FOR ERECTION OF:
BIG new CHURCH
FINANCE COMMITTEE OF CHRIS
TiAN CHURCH AND THOSE IN
TERESTED MEET FRIDAY.
MORE ROOM IS BADLY NEEDED
Proposed New Building Would Con-
tain Large Auditorium, Convenient
Sunday School Rooms and Modern
Church Conveniences.

The finance committee Of the First
Christian church, composed of Ash
ley B. Sowell, Herman Jones and II
L. Cunningham, and others who are
interested in the erection of new
church have been requested to meet
at the parlors of the Maury Under
taking Company Friday evening at 7
o'clock to devise ways and means of
raising funds for the erection of the
church.
1t is believed that as a result of
this meeting Friday, concrete plans
will be made for campaign for funds.
1t is said by those taking the lead
in the matter that the congregation Of
the First Christian church has large
ly outgrown the present church build
ing, and 1t has become necessary to
place chairs in the aisles at nearly
every service in order to accommo-
date those who worship there.
Those who are active in the inter
est of new church say that If it is
finally determined to erect a new
building, it will be modern in every
respect, having large and convenient
Sunday school rooms to accommodate
the large sunday school attendance,
and will be equipped with kitchen, and
pastors study and other modern
church conveniences.
1t is the purpose of those interest
ed to build church, not so much as
a show place, as for convenience and
room, having an auditorium large
enough to accommodate the entire
congregation and its friends. More
room for this congregation has been
needed for quite long time, but on
account Of unsettled conditions the
erection of new building has been
deferred.

To CAPTAIN ENGLISH
JOSEPH B. ALLEN FROM DEPART
MENT OF COMMERCE AT
WASHINGTON HERE.
EXPECTS TO MAKE RECORD
Pays High Tribute to the Work Eeinq
Done by the Women Enumerators
Throughout the State---He Back In
About Two Weeks.

Joseph B. Allen. detailed by the do
partment Of commerce ut Washington.
to visit, work with and assist the dis
trict census supervisors of Tennessee.
is In Columbia and will spend three
days with Capt. T. Y English super
visor for this district
Mr.. Allen was seen at his room at
the Hotel Bethel today by represent
tative of The Herald and questioned
as to the manner in which he had
found the work in this district, and
made the following reply:
Il find that Mr.. English is in COM
mand of the situation and has his
work right up to the minute. He has
conducted the work of the district In
such manner that feel sure that the
census bureau can point to the Colum-
bia district with pride. In my visits
over the district have not found any
that are superior to the work in this
district, and the supervisor who beats
Mr. English with his report will have
to be a hustler.
j not only find that he has his work
up, but that il is UP in most splendid
condition. He has corps of assist
ants that are right on their toes all
the time and up and doing. He seems
to have used great care In selecting
his enumerators, and with only a few
exceptions throughout the entire dis
trlct have come right up To the
scratch"
In discussing the taking of the cen.
sus throughout the entire state and
nation, Mr.. Allen said that he was OF
the opinion that it was going to be
most complete one. That the depart
ment had hoped to make il the best
ever, and that it looked now as If
their wishes would be realized. There
is one thing that has greatly surprised
me- said Mr.. Allen, "and that is the
splendid work that has been accom-
plished by the women enumerators.
They are swift and accurate, and In
some of the places they have outstrip-
ped the men In most every way. both
as to accuracy and endurance. In
one of the districts in the state I
found one enumerator who had made
comparisons of the work of the ladies'
and the men. He said that this emu.
merator had tabulated the DAYS upon
which the women had reported that
the weather was too bad or that they
were feeling too badly to go out on
the job, and that upon these days the
tabulation showed that the women had
gone right ahead regardless of the
weather and done their work"
ut is hard to down a woman when
she gets onto thing and wants to
make 1t a success, in fact 1t is almost
an impossibilty to stump them"
Mr.. Allen stated that he hoped to
be back in Columbia In about two
weeks. He goes from here to Nash.
vile and Cookeville and then to West
Tennessee.

OYSTER MEASURE
PASSES SENATE
Result Of Fight Against Alleged
Oyster Monopoly

The bill by Senator Thomas Brown
to restore to the public oyster grounds
in Raritan river, Staten Island sound
and Newark bay passed the senate
last night with but two dissenting
votes. The passing of his bill by the
senate is the results of a fight against
the oyster monopoly recently made by
the private oystermcn of Monmouth
ana M1ddlesex counties who had
placed their interests in the hands of
Senator Brown.
This is the second time the bill had
been before the Senate. At the for
mer session of the Senate it was
brought up but due to the fact that t
lacked one vote of passing. Senator
Brown had it laid over until last
night. At last nights session but two
members voted against it. They were
Senator Reeves of Cumberland and
Senator Sturgess of Gloucester. There
were fourteen Affirmative votes.
Senator Brown said that IN sup
porting the measure last week he had
not mentioned the name of Russell B
Post, of Keyport, a member of the
State Board of Shell Fisheries in
connection with the charge thai a
state official was interested in the
oyster trust which the Brown bill was
seeking to destroy. Post. however,
came into the limelight himself with
an afi1daVit denying that as a member
of the State Shell Fish Board he had
disregarded his oath of office and
was illegally interested in one of the
corporations dominating the oyster
business In Raritan river. When
Brown began his argument yesterday
afternoon he was fortified with affida-
Wits to substantiate his statements
that two large corporations control
the oyster industry in Raritan river.
NO man can serve two masters"
said Senator Brown. in referring to
Post as a member of the State Shell
Fish Board and also as a business
man interested in the oyster industry.
Brown charged that Post was given n
grant of eighteen and one-half acres
of land by the State Board OF Shell
Fisheries. Brown also mentioned the
Ellsworth Oyster Company as one of
the two corporations having a con-
trolling interest in Raritan river.
Post was defended by Senator
Reeves. of Cumberland. Reevs said
the statute creating the Shell Fish
Board provided that the members of
the state commission should be prac-
teal oystermen and hat Post has
been given no unfair advantage by
reason of having been awarded a
claim.
