NASHVILLE Tenn, Aug. lO-rhe
Cumberland Telephone Il Telegraph
Company, this morning through its at

seeking to dissolve all orders of the
public utilities commission of Ten.
nessee, which prevent the, telephone
company from Immediately putting
into effect the new and greatly in

by the complainant company last May
The bill filed in Judge Sanders court
would enjoin the public utilities com
mission from keeping in effect the
present confiscatory rates" of the Tel.
ephone and Telegraph Company.
The action taken today by the tele.
phone company, was foreshadowed in
recent step taken by counsel for the
company, when the company declined
to pay for an appraisal of property of
the company in the state, as was
agreed to in the hearing before the
commission in July.
1t is expected that the fight against
the increased rates sought by the tel,
ephone company will be waged just as
vigorously in federar court s~before
the utilities commission
1t is almost certain that an answer
to the telephone company's bill will
be filed by representatives of the pub

Commissioner of Agriculture Gives
Ideas for Development of Former
While State Superintendent Pleads
for Advancement Rural Education
(From Wednesdays Daily Herald

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald
With a much larger Attendance than
on yesterday the second days session
of the Middle Tennessee Farmers
Convention was devoted to a discus
sion of the practical problems of farm
the soil as citizens of the great re-
public.
Able addresses on agriculture in
general, the development of the rural
schools, the road program Of the feder.
al and state governments, the tenancy
problem and the great dairy industry
featured the program for the morning
session, with such "top notchers' for
speakers as Capt Thomas F. Peck,
commissioner of agriculture; Prof, j
B. Brown, state superintendent OF pub
lie instructions; Dr. TAFT Butler, editor
of the Progressive Farmer. and Dean
r. P. Cooper, of the College of Agri.
culture of the Kentucky University.
While the attendance for the sec
ond day of this years convention did
not equal that of the same day last
year the registration at noon being
around 400, in interest shown and at
tenticn given to the work of the cen
vention it is pronounced by the lead
ers to be tho best ever held in this di
vision of the state. Delegations from
some of the counties that sent ssuch
crowds here last year were not as
large-as then, Lawrence county with
about three score present, having the
largest delegation. However, mark,
ed feature of the convention is that
the delegates have seemingly come for
business, to hear and see and discuss
questions that affect them every day
in their great industry.
Capt T. f. Peck spoke at some
length on the question of road i'm
provement advocating the rapid eXten
sion Of the government aid. Capt.
Peck is very popular with the farmers
and received a warm reception.
No address evoked more interest or
was more attentively listened to than
that of Dean Cooper, Of the Kentucky
agricultural college on the dairy in
dustry Perhaps a majority of the
farmers ins attendance are either ac'
lively engaged or contemplate engag-
ing in this industry.
The country school was discussed
by Prof. ] B. Brown, state superin'
tcndent. Prof. Brown earnestly urged
the development of high standard OF
efficiency in the rural schools of the
state lie said one of the great prob
lens of the day was a need for rural
school system that would keep the
boys and girls On the farms and stop
the constant drain from the farms to
the cities in order that educational OPP.
poftunities might be afforded the
youth OF the land.
DR.. TAFT Butler. one Of the veterans
of the battle for improved agrcul
ture in the South, gave much food for
thought in his able address on the ever
pressing tenancy problem.
At the afternoon session addresses
will be delivered by Dean Wilson, OF
Tennessee; Dean Coifcy, of Ilipois
and Prof. Wylie, live stock expert Of
the State university.

MANY CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED
When PROGRAM Is Finished Maury

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
With the delivery of the 100000 of
school bonds and the awarding of con-
tracts Maury county's big school
building program, with one or two mi
nor exceptions is now fully underway.
Altogether there will be expended in
the county within period of about h
year something like S15O,00O to $175,-
900 or more for new school buildings.
Of the sum that will be expended
something like $4,000 has been con
tributed by the citizens of the several
communities and Mt. Pleasant will put
ap between $4,000 and $4,000 from
special bond issue and from the sale
Of the old building.
At Porter's in the sixth district,
where an appropriation has been made
the program will be delayed in order
to see whether or not plans that are
being discussed for a consolidation,
go through
Spring Hall has practically complet-
ed its work, about $4,000 having beSp
expended there by the citizens and the
county. This is on the white school
1t is expected that within the next
sixty days work will begin on the col
orded school to cost around $500.
The new school at New Hope on
which awards of upwards of $500
has been and will be expended, is now
under way and the work will be press
ed to a speedy conclusion. Work on
the coored school at Theta, repre-
senting cost of $4,000 is due to begin
at once.
Already the consolidated school at
Rally Hill, representing an expendi-
ture of $4,000 by the county and citi-
zens, has been finished and occupied.
The school at McCrory's, which is also
consolidation, is likewise finished
and represents an expenditure of
about $4,000 This school is likewise
in use.
The foundation is almost complete
and much OF the materials ON the
ground for the handsome $4,000 brick
structure at Cullecka, which when
finished will be one OF the best rural
schools in the South. Material is be-
ing hauled and work has commenced
on the Bigbyvile and McCains consol-
idated school to be known as the Har-
ris High School. This school will cost
$25 600.
1t is probable that before completed
Mt. Pleasant will spend $4,000 on it's
new school building to be erected
jointly by the county and city. The
lot has been donated and accepted and
the city is ready to sell the bonds to
provide for $4,000 of the cost.
The contract has been let for the
new negro school at Sandy Hook
which will cost around $1,000.
The committee at Cross Bridges in
the eighth district has secured the lot
for the new building and the funds
contributed by the citizens are all in
the bank This building originally
planned to cost $500 will probably as
the result of additional contributions
Of the citizens cost $4,000 or more.
Mcdowell school in the ninth 6S- |
trict, to cost $4,000, is under way.
This building will be paid for $4,000 |
by the county and $4,000 in public con-
tributions.
