ANOTHER ENTRY
is EXPECTED IN
TRUSTEES RACE
FRIENDS OF JOE L. HAGEY, JR.,
DECLARE HE WILL BE CANDi-
DATE FOR THIS OFFICE.
SEVERAL ALREADY MENTIONED
List of Candidates for Offices OF Coun-
ty Court Clerk, Trustee and Sheriff
Growing Almost Daiy-Hot Races
Expected.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
II the races for county Office in the
next county election are not red hot"
1t will not be due to scarcity of can
didates. From present indications
there will be more entries in the races
for trustee, county court clerk and
sheriff than ever before, or at least in
several years. Quite number have
already virtually announced for these
offices, and hardly day passes that
rumor does not connect another citi-
zen to the list of candidates.
Perhaps one of the warmest races
will be that for the office Of county
trustee. In addition to the long list
of entries, already mentioned in The
Herald, it is said that the friends of
Joe L. Hagey, Jr., have induced him
to cast his lot into the ring, and that
he will certainly be a candidate be-
fore the people for this office. Mr.
Hagey, should he become candidate,
no doubt would have a large following.
He is perhaps one of the most widely
known young men of the county, and
has many friends who. undoubtedly
would support him if he makes the
race.
At any rate it is certain that the
woods will be just as full of candidates
for the three Offices mentioned, but
it is not thought that either Esquire
J. ]. Jim Buck Pogue, serving his
first term as the efficient register Of
the county, or Circuit Court Clerk Joe
T. Anderson, also rendering faithful
service during his first term, will
have opposition.

PUBLIC HEARING AT NASHVILLE
Considered Likely That This County
viii Have at Least One Representa-.
tive Present When the Testimony
Is Heard by Commission.

tFfOm TUESDAY s DAILY HefaiQ.)
1t is altogether probable that when
the public hearing On the application
OF the Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Company is held by the public
utilities commission at Nashville on
May "a Columbia and Maury county
citizens will be represented. There
are probably around 1000 or 1900 tel
ephone subscribers in the county and
the proposed increase would mean
many thousands of dollars additional
for telephone service alone. 1t is esti-
mated that 1t would easily run close
to $1,000 a month in the county.
For this reason it is probable that
representatives from the county will
attend the hearing, not with the pre-.
conceived idea that the telephone com
.pany is not earning a fair return on
its investment. but to urge that in
creases at this time should not be
made if it is possible to avoid them.
1t has been suggested by members
of the county council Of agriculture
that when the directors meet on Satur.
day the question of representative
from that organization should be dis,
cussed. The great majority OF the pro.
gIessive farmers of the county are tel.
ephOne subscribers and are therefore
