profitable despite the low price of
wool and the fact that they are get
ting only about half as much for their
lambs as they did at the peak of
prices. But farmers who paid $l2 to
SIS for their ewes can of course see
little consolation in seven dollar
lambs. -.
Nevertheless all have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that the cost lof man
tenance of the flock during the past
winter has been unusually light due
to the very mild weather. Few Flocks
have been fed at all during the winter.
The lambs are unusually choice this
year, being fat and plump and grading
high. This is largely due to the abun-
dance Of sdcculeht green feed that has
been available all during the Landing
season. ..s

FRANK PUCH IS.
new MEMBER ON
BOARD ALDERMEN
ELECTED TO SUCCEED ALDER
MAN j. w. SHARPER FROM
THIRD WARD, RESIGNED.
PREVENT SPEEDING TO FIRES
Communication Received From Fire
Department Requesting That Stop
Be Put to Practice of Automobiles
Following Fire Trucks. .. -.

(From Saturdays Daily Heraid.)
Frank Pugh, well known painter and
decorator, and formerly a member OF
the firm of Harlan & Pugh, was elect
ed last night by the board OF mayor
and aldermen to fill out the uneXpir-
dterm of Alderman J. w. Sharber,
who automatically resigned when he
removed from the third to the second
ward. Mr.. Pugh was at the city hall
this morning getting a line upon his
duties, and on the inside of the city
affairs. s.
The board received cOmmunica-
ton or petition from the fire depart
ment calling attention to the fact that
the city traffic laws are being violat-
ed by speeding automobiles each time
the alarm is sounded. 1t was alleged
that each time the engine runs, speed
ing automobiles follow so closely in
its wake, they are most dangerous,
and in getting down from the engine
when it comes to a sudden stop, fire
men have recently had narrow es-
capes from death because of these
cars.
The board authorized Mayor Cherry
to instruct Chief of Police Bailey Pey,
ton to see that this practice is broken
up, and this morning Chief Peyton
gave warning that in the future cars
would not be permitted to drive at a
fast and reckless rate of speed be.
hind the fire trucks. An officer will
be sent to each fire to secure the
names of all speeders, and arrest
them either then or later.
Other than this board transacted
little but routine business.
R. F. Moore, chairman of the police
commission, recommended that the
members of the police force be given
fifteen day vacation, and that Street
Overseer Morgan be given time to
take an extended trip. f,tS% -

MULES VICTORIOUS -
over DYER CLAN
WIN BY SCORE OF. THREE TO
NOTHING-BOTH TEAMS PLAY
ED GOOD BRAND OF BALL.
From Mondays Daily Herald)

By a score of three to nothing the
Columbia Mules defeated Captain
Dyer's Headquarters Troop baseball
outfit here Saturday afternoon. Not
an earned score was made, and the
large score which it had been expect
ed would be piled up by the Mules
did not materialiZe. The Troops play
ed like veterans, but for one bad in
ming the contest would have entered
the. ninth inning without score In
the sixth frame, however, a couple of
hits placed two men on bases. The
next man up poled one just over sec
ond baseman, which the centerfelder
run up on and permitted to get away,
all three men scoring.
But the game was greatly enjoyed
by the goodly number of fans present.

(From Mondays Daily Herald)
With twenty-five voting aye and two
not voting, Burke Wilkes, of Culleoka,
was this morning elected road super
intendent of Maury county by the
quarterly county court meeting in
special session. twenty-five of the
members of the court voted aye
on motion to elect Mr.. Wilkes, the
only candidate placed before the court
and two declined to vote.
Squire Hull, who declined to vote,
protested that under tbs law Mr..
Wilkes was not qualified, not being
highway engineer and not having a
certificate from the state highway de.
partment.
The court met promptly at 10 O'Clock
and was led in prayer by Squire Hull,
who prayed that in all things the
court might obey the law.
The roll was called by Clerk Arch
w. Lipscomb and a quorum respond
ed. Judge Whitthorne then read the
call for the special session and declar-
ed that nominations were in order.
Squire John M. Davis placed Burke
Wilkes in nomination. He spoke very
highly of the work that Mr. Wilkes
had done on the roads and said that
he was young and energetic and had
reputation to make and he knew of no
better place to make it than on the
roads of Maury county. ..
Squire Jackson said he would like to
vote for Mr.. Wilkes and would have
voted for him before but for doubt of
his qualifications under the law. He
said that the qualifications in the law
We're mistake, but it was the law
and he did not know how to get around
it.
Squire Hull said that he could see
no difference in electing a man who
would not serve and one who under
the law, could not serve and who
would probably be enjoined from
serving.
Squire. Denton. of the fifth, and
Squire English, of the sixth, seconded
the nomination of Mr.. Wilkes. Squire
English said he wanted to protest
against the state highway department
attempting to dictate who should be
elected by the quarterly court to work
the roads in Maury county.
Capt. English said that he was au-
thorized by Mr.. Wilkes to state that
whenever the county Judge certified
the necessity for a technical engineer
Mr.. Wilkes would employ one without
cent of cost to the county
Nominations being closed a motion
to elect Mr.. Wilkes road superintend-
ent prevailed by the following vote:
Justice voting aye (for Mr.. Wilkes)
SoWell, Forgey, Haywood, Farris, Der
ryberry, Davis, Hardison, Pinkston,
Denton, Digger, English, Matthews,
Jackson, Ricketts, Ross, Harlan,
Wilkes, Guest, Orr, Jones, Akin and
Stanfil. Total 22.
Justices declining to vote-Hull and
Carr.
A motion to donate the days SER
vices to the county was defeated. The
court then formally adjourned.
