AS result of the decision of the
supreme court, handed down Satur-
day, in which the decision of the low
er court in the case of Mrs. Minnie
Pennington against the Farmers &
Merchants Bank of Mt. Pleasant, was
reversed and the case remanded for
trial, othed cases against the bank will
go to trial at the present term of court,
according to belief of members of the
local bar.
The decision of the high court is
regarded as most important one, de-
spite the fact that the only reason Civ.
en- for the reversal was that the case
seems to justify further hearing in or.
der to establish clearing the RESPONSE
bility of the bank under the facts set
OUT
In view of the large number of suits
similar to the one brought by Mrs.
Pennington for the recovery of a
thousand dollar Liberty Bond, the de-
cision is regarded as most significant.
Suits have been brought by custo-
mers of the bank for approximately
$4,000 as result of the robbery of
the bank by yeggmen last spring.
1t was contended by the plaintiff
that the bank was responsible for the
keeping of contents of lock boxes stor.
ed in by the defendant banks vault.
Counsel for the bank commended that
customers deposited lock boxes in the
vault at their own risk, and that the
bank was not responsible for their
safe keeping, but merely allowed GUS
toners to leave them there as mat
ter of accommodation.
The case was hard fought one, the
leading legal talent of this bar taking
part in the case. The bank was repre-.
sented by Percy Chandler sd Hughes,
Hatcher & Hughes, while Judge Sam
Holding and Major Leroy Hammond
represented Mrs. Pennington.

President Porter Left Without In

(From Mondays Daily Herald.

| lffOm Monday Daily Herald.)
Maury county's council of agricul
ture will have an exhibit at the state
fair at Nashville this fall. Not only
that every member of the council is
going into the contest with the deter.
mination to win. At the meeting of
the board of directors on Saturday, ii
was unanimously decided to have an
exhibit and President Porter was au.
| thorized to name ascommittee to act
with the county agent in assembling
and arranging the exhibit. 1t was re-
allied by the members that to have an
exhibit meant work and they have set
about the job of taking prize with a
gri differentiation to succeed.
The board also reached the conclu.
sion that the present method of elect
ing the directors was haphazard at
fair and resulted in the concentration
of majority of the directors in two
of the districts OF the county. To sug-
gest changes in the method of elect
ing the directors by proper amend.
| ment to the constitutional committee
composed of President Porter, County
Agent Alternately, ]. |. Finney, H. H.
| Hill, Albert Holt and w. ]. Russell
was selected. This committee will re.
port its recommendations to heynext
meeting of the board. If changes are
recommended the amendment must
then be submitted to all the members
of the council to be voted upon.
| The board elected the executive
committee provided at the last meet
ing This committee will be compos-
ed of Henry H. Hill, Miles P. Murphy
and James |, Finney.
There was long discussion over
the question: Of the councils entering
the state. bureau and ,saffiliatirfgs with
the national federation of farm -, bu-
lreaus. It was finally decided to send
President Porter to the preliminary
conference at Knoxville without in
structions, leaving his course to be
taken there to his own sound judg-
ment.
A motion by Squire Matthews to me.
morialize the county court to re-
duces the tax burden as far as
possible without in any way impair
ing the efficiency of any department
or activity of government, was unan.
imously adopted. The executive com.

the 18th machine gun battalion that
broke the famous Hindenburg line al
Bullecourt, on September 20, 1918
leaves tonight for Washington where
on Monday night he will deliver a me
mortal day address 70 the Quentin
Roosevelt Post of the American LIE
gion. Capt. English was invited some
time ago to address the post on this
occasion, but declined. However, The
odore Roosevelt, Jr., was not to take
no for an answer SO he wired until
Capt English consented to go.
The invitation resulted from meet.
ing between Capt. English and Quen,
tin Roosevelt, the young eagle who
died nobly in battle, and friendship
that there formed. 1t brought about
correspondence between the Roose
welt family and the Maury countian
with the result that the family would
have the machine gun captain to
speak at the exercises Monday.
In addition to Capt. English other
speakers will be Secretary of the
Navy Edwin DENLY, himself a member
of the American Legion, Secretary of
War Weeks and others. Capt. English
said that in the last wire that he re-
ceived the statement was made that
he would be met by a detail from the
Post and brass band He declared
that he would rather have had some
of the experiences that he had in Flan-
ders than to face all of the big guns
of the nation as he would have to on
Monday.
Capt. English had distinguished
record during the war. Although he
was nearly forty years of age, he vol
unteered for the second officers train
ing camp, but before the camp opened
due to his previous experience as an
officer in the regular army of the Unit
ed States he was commissioned cap
tain of the Murfreesboro machine gun
company by Gov. Rye. He was wound
ed in the desperate fighting in Elan
ders and spent months in a British
hospital. While en- route home from
France he was elected to his old place
in the county court.

MADE Thief BETRAY HIMSELF
Common In Justice Courts Of
the Middle Aces.

Certain tribes Of Indians, according
to Prof. Pillsbury, of the department
Of psychology at the University Of
Michigan, had a curious way Of deter
mining the guilt or innocence Of any
member Of their tribe accused Of theft.
"One may observe directly" says
Prof. Pillsbury, "the dryness Of the
mouth In the instance Of fear or grief.
Strong emotinal excitement checks
the flow Of saliva and causes this dry
ness, while an increased flow will be
noticed in the various p%leasurable
mental states. Acting upon the as
sumption that the knowledge Of guilt
would engender a feeling Of dread in
the mind Of the person guilty of the
theft, thus stopping the flow Of
saliva, whereas innocence would excite
no feeling Of fear, the Indians gave
the suspected members a quantity of
dry rice to place in their mouth. The
rice was kept In the mouth for a few
minutes and then spewed out. The
suspect whose rice was still dry was
%adjudged guilty of the theft without
further trial, and punished according
ly." ~ s-s
