|. SOW CRIMSON CLOVER.

Farmers, OF Maufy county should
plan this summer and early fall to
I SOW the largest acreage Of crimson
clover. that has, ever been planted in
the county,, From present indications
the seed will be cheaper than they
have been IN. several years and will
cost only q little more than dollar
an acre. Those who have sown Grim
son clover have found that 1t is. not
only a life saver as winter pasture,
but 1t Ia one of the most beneficial
soif builders ever grown here. Sheep
and crimson clover make a profitable
combination. in fact 1t is doubtful II a
better one can be applied TO the farms
Of Maury county. When the crop is
turned under in the spring its good
effects are felt on any grain that may
be sown on the land. 1t will add al
ways several bushels OF corn to the
acre and a wheat crop will likewise
be wonderfully helped. ffi,c x
sa'Manryt county is probably the most
ideally located county in the union
Tor stpck growing. We are just be-
SHINING stot appreciate its advantages.
Our Einters as a rule permit Of open
gfaeings nearly all the year. In the
average year good acreage Of Grim
son clover, sown in the early fall, will
enahlc enc to run calves and sheep
through the winter with practically
no feed last year IL was estimated
that $500 acres OF crimson clover

Ever since the passage of the state
assessment act The Herald has in.
sisted that one OF its inherent defects
was failure to give the great agri.
cultural interests of Tennessee bona
fide representation on the board that
finally fixed the assessments upon
property This proposition Is one
that will hardly be seriously contro-
verted. On the present boafd the
farmers have no real, bona tide rep.
.resntation. One member is an cdi.
tor, another a lawyer and the third
Is a manufacturer.
For membership On this board Col
N. Knox Bryson, former commits
sionsr Of agriculture, and one of the
best known actual farmers in the
state, is an announced 1 candidate.

antee the farmers Of Tennessee bona

OF assessors. This they are entitled
to have. Moreover, Col. Bryson is a
most excellent gentleman thorough
patriot, man OF good common sense.
intensely loyal to the institutions of
his country and altogether depend
able.
Col. >Bryson has peculiar hold
upon the people of Maury county. He
is partly our own. He married a
Maury county woman and his broth
er was one OF the most beloved
preachers who ever served a church
in this county. If Col Bryson does
not get a flattering vote in Maury
county The Herald will be very
greatly surprised So ~

r., AVOID ,ISMS.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that in
the democratic conclave at San Fran
cisco there will be enough of courage
and Of devotion to principle to defeat
the efforts of place seeking politi-
clans to place the party in "a false
light before the American public. 1t
win require a firm determination ito
stand by the faith upon the part OF a
majority Of the delegates If the party
is saved from suicide. Every; dis
grnntled and disaffeeted element in
the country will be there in an, at
tempt to make the democratic party
the medium through which it may
carry its grievances to the people. Il
It has already been announced that
GOmpers will be on hand seeking a
declaration OF principles that IL car
ried into effect would virtually estab-
fish government within government,
a soviet which would, be superior to
the congress Of the United States.
Then big delegations from Massachn-
sets has announced its intention to
subordinate every possible issue to
a declaration for the freedom OF Ire
land as though Ireland is not alreary
as free as Scotland or Wales or any
state Of the American Union. The
Sim Feiners in America are dis
gruntled over the republican party's
failure to endorse their cause. Mil.
lions of votes will be pledged to demo
crazy if the convention will only
offer insult to a friendly nation and
one but recently allied with US in
the worlds greatest war.
The democratic party II 1t deserves
to live must set its face like flint
against every insiduous effort that
will be made to make it the vehicle
through which the disconnected and
the disaffected and the disloyal of
America can heal their wounds or
assuage their grief at imaginary
evils. 1t must stand, true to its prin-
ciples If it expects the votes OF real
delnCcrats. I'll ,,gcat FL

PAY WHEEL TAX;
CLERK IS BUSY
SINCE FIRST OF MONTH WHEEL
TAX TAGS FOR 522 VEHICLES
HAVE BEEN SOLD.
BueGlEs STILL ARE LEADING
Total Number of Vehicles Registered
in County Now 5,718, According to
Books at Office Of County Court

AS result of publicity given in
The Herald to the fact that Attorney
General Looneys 3. White has given
instructions to see that the county
wheel tax law Is enforced by officers,
taxes on not less than 522 vehicles
has been paid to County Court Clerk
Lipscomb during the month of June,
and the rush continues. During the
present month the county wheel tax
has been paid on 27S buggies, $50
wagons and ninety.four automobiles.
bringing the total number of automo-
biles registered in the county up to
1,51s, wagons 1,7O5 and buggies g.
495.
The month of June has been one of
the best at the county court clerks Of
ice, in point of wheel tax collections,
since the month of January when the
new numbers first were ordered on
cars. ~ r -
h Records at the clerks office show
that 5,7fS vehicles have been register
ed in the county, and 1T is expected
that this number will be increased to
at least 5000 before the end OF the
present month if the rate of payment
early during this month is maintain
ed. Figuring censervatively that each
vehicle pays for county road pur-
poses an average of Sc on each vehi-
Gle, the county road fund would be
increased some $4,000 or more than
enough to pay the county's share in
the construction Of more than three
miles Of permanent highways, and
this sum is over and above the regu-
lar road tax on all real and personal
property made in the regular assess
ment Of the county property.

AuToMos,LE TOLLS.

Judge Turner'S decision in the au.
tomobile turnpike toll case in Giles
county is, Of unusual interest and
may have a far reaching effect upon
the highway building z,rogram III Ten,
nsssee, II sustained BY the sapremf
court 1t win adversely affect the
values ofsevery turnpike corporation
IN the state for under present condi-
tionss thB tolls from automobiles con-
stitutes the larger portion of the rev.
enues OF all toll roads,. Jurge Turn
er,s reasoning is apparently sound
and logical, He has evidently given
that. earnest consideration and DELHI
crate counsel to the consideration of
the question that is characteristic Of
him. He did not reach the concur
sions announced in his opinion with
out the most painstaking research
and thorough examination of the
authorities available for consultation
The toll road is an anachronism.
Its days are numbered. It is almost
as much of a "back number" as the
drawbridge and meat OF the middle
ages. Not a single toll road in the
state, as suggested by Judge Turner;
was CONSTRUCTED with a view to the
demands Of present day traffic.
With the loss Of toll from the au-
tomobile the owners are going to be
ready TO come, promptly to terms
with the cousiNaauthorities. 1t is
a remarkable circumstance that al.
though the automobile has been in use
In Tennessee for fifteen years the
turnpike owners have made no effort
to have legislation enacted that
would protect their right to collect
toll. In SO far as Maury county is
concerned THE decision does not
have any direct effect as all the turn
pixies have been purchased at reason
able prices, but Indirectly the adecis-
ion is Of vital interest here as it will
Enthusiastically hasten the completion
OF the great Jackson highway.

ALL SHOULD WORK.

That business conditions in this
country are ybasically sound is shown
by the very slight disturbance so far
experienced asthe result of the deter.
mination ofthe federal reserve sys-
tenn to contract cdffeney and dsfate
credits. plendid progress has been
made in this direction without any ap-
parently evil results. So far the de-
cline In prices has been nothing like
what had been predicted, because in
the very nature of things there can be
no appreciable REDUCTION in values as
long as the demand is so far above
the supply. aUnauestionably credit de-
flation win tend to decline in values,
but more important as remedy for
present conditions is a great increase
in production
Only by the old fashion method of
work, human toll, thrift and self de-
NAL are we going to get on solid
foundation again in this old war worn

rid of the notion that as the result
of that great cataclysm there have
been fundamental changes in the laws
of economics and in human nature

preaching in high places Of how the

little urging of an application of the

Of which is work. II is doubtful il
ever in the history of the world idle
ness has been excusable, but assured
ly 1t is not now. More than that it
is little more than a crime.
No one who is old enough to work
and is physically able to do so has
any moral right to loaf these days.
The boys and girls who are out of
school now should not be encouraged
to spend the summer in idleness.
They ought to be at work. They can
do something to solve the problem Of
