DAMAGE SUIT is
SET FOR TRIAL
MONDAY JUNE n
A. B. HARLAN SEEKS TO RECOVER
$4,000 FROM FEDERAL CHEM.
iCAL COMPANY.
GRAND JURY TO MEET MONDAY
Several Other Important Cases Set
for Trial in Circuit Court Before
Final Adjournment Is Taken-Many
Gases Already Tried.

(From Wednesdays Daily HERALD
The $4,000 damage suit of A. B.
Harlan against the Federal Chemical
Company, one of the most important
cases set for trial at the present term
of circuit court, will be taken up Mon
day morning, June 27, according to
present plans. This case has been
hanging fire in the courts for several
months, having been set for trial on
the second day of the present term,
when it was found that it would be
necessary to have an exhaustive trans.
cript from the Chancery court cop
led, and Judge Turner allowed time
for this, re-setting the case for Mon.
day, June q.
Mr.. Harlan is seeking to recover
$4,000 for damage alleged to have
been done his property through the
mining operations of the defendant
company, and the case is sure to prove
one of the hardest fought ones tried
in the Maury county circuit court in
years. Leading attorneys of the Co.
lumbia and Nashville bars will par
ticipate in the legal battle, and it is
expected that the trial will attract
spectators from every section of the
county. Many witnesses " ill be heard
and it is not unlikely that the trial
will consume several days.
Up until this time several impor-
tant cases have been disposed of by
the court, and others are docketed
for trial before final adjournment is
taken and an effort will be made to dis
pose of these cases just as they are
called, Yaa}
The grand jury will meet again on
Monday. for the investigation of mat
tiers reported since its recent adjourn
ment. \ 1t was indicated that some
twenty. or twenty-five witnesses will
appear before the jury on these mat
ters, but it is believed that the jury
will probably adjourn sine die before
the latter part of next week.

pure bred beef cattle it will pay the
farmers of Maury county to attend
this exhibit and see the fine specimens
of pure bred Shorthorns that will be
exhibited. 1t will be liberal educa-
ton to many of them. Not every
farmer, in fact only relatively small
percentage of them can afford to breed
fancy cattle, but every farmer in this
section can afford to improve his
herds. 1t costs no more to grow and
feed a we'll bred animal than it does a
scrub and the profits from the former
are always more than from the latter.
This is pre-eminently live stock sec
tion of the country, unusually bless
ed of nature and it will pay the farm
ers of this country to take advantage
of this opportunity, presented right
at home, to see what good breeding
and careful selection will do in the de-
velopment of one of the greatest
breeds of cattle in the history of the
world. Every one of the great beef
breeds. the Angus, Hereford and
Shorthorns, particularly, have their
champions among the farmers of the
county, but by and large the old Short
horn or Durham as they are affection
ately called by many, is the most pop
ular in this section.

49, TRADE@-AT HOME,
ity.

Even in flush times, when trade is
good and demand is exceeding supply
it is a mighty fine idea to buy at home,
to patrohiZe those who must bear the
burdens of the eeommunity. But in
times of depression when supply is
exceeding demand the reasons which
prompt one to follow this policy are
multiplied many times. In other
words in times of adversely the whole
community ought to hang together"
or they might hang separately to use
the well known phrase of Franklin.
The local merchants and dealers
support the community; they pay the
taxes; they contribute to every for
ward movement. Those who do bust
ness in other communities make no
contributions to Columbia. Even their
patrons here would hesitate to call on
them for support for the most worthy
local institution. If one is in distress
and needs accommodation or credit of
any kind it is to the local dealer that
he goes and not to the mail order
house or the merchant away from
here. If he wants an extension he
goes to his local shank or local mer-
chant 1t Isl TO the home folks that
one instinctively turns in times of adj
versity, and this is a rule that should
be followed. in making purchases for
cash.
., The Herald is a local enterprise 1t
has repeatedly in the past ten years
refused very attractive advertising
contracts from dealers who would sell
directly in competition with its own
local advertisers. It therefore has a
right TO urge buying at home.

AWARD CONTRACT
new SCHOOL IN
FIFTH DISTRICT
CULLEOkA COMMITTEE TENTA-
lively MAKES AGREEMENT
, WITH SANDERS, LEWISBuRG
WIDE VARIATION IN BIDS
Difference of Nearly $1,000 Between
the Highest and the Lowest Esti-
mates Submitted by the Committee.
Plans Made at BigbyvllIe.

(From Wednesdays Daily HeraldD
Contract for the handsome new two
story brick school at Culleoka was
tentatively awarded yesterday to San
ders Company, of Lewisburg, that
firm making the lowest bid for the
completion of the structure. Bids
were opened by the committee and
about a half dozen were submitted.
The bids made on the building show
ed a wide variation in the estimates,
there being nearly $4,000 difference in
the lowest bid made and the highest
submitted. Evidently the builders
have not figured on the same decline
in the cost of labor and building ma
terials. Generally the high bids were
made by Nashville concerns, while the
nearer to the scene the lower the bid
made
The successful bid is around $4,000,
but the committee has already done
work and has on hand materials of
the value Of about $1,000 and is oblig
ed to furnish other work on the foun-
dation that may bring the total cost
up in excess of 1900. Then Of
course it will require several thous-
and dollars to equip and furnish the
building.
The actual contract will not be clos
ed until after the county building
bonds have been delivered and the
money placed to the credit of the coun-
ty board of education. 1t is believed,
however that this will be done at an
early date. The plans made months
ago, provide for two stories and base
ment and building that will serve
the school and community needs of
Culleoka for generation or more 1t
is hoped before it is completed to pro-
vide it with every modern conven-
fence.
The building committee is at work
on the plans and specifications for the
Harris school, which is a consolida-
ton of the Bigbyville McCains schools
and hopes to have it ready for invit-
ing bids at an early date. Some chang
es have had to be made in these plans
due to the fact that the architect was
appropriation.

COUNTY COUNCIL
DIRECTORS Will
MEET SATURDAY
QUESTION OF STATE AND MA
TiONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO
BE DECIDED.
HEAR REPORT OF PRESIDENT
Of Result of the Preliminary Confer
ence on Tennessee Organization,
Which He Recently Atteded at
Notwithstanding Meeting.

(F'rom Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Directors of the county council of
agriculture will meet for the regular
session at o'clock on next Saturday
afternoon at the council chambers.
There are a number of committee re-
ports to be received and it is proba-
Bile that further plans for the county
council exhibit at the state fair will
be discussed.
The most interesting feature of the
meeting will be the report that Pres
ident Porter will make on the result of
the conference of the presidents of
county councils held at Knoxville early
this month on the occasion of the ded-
ication of the new buildings at the
University of Tennessee.
At this conference, of which Presi,
dent Porter was made chairman, it
was decided to call meeting of rep
resentatives of all councils of the
state to be held in Nashville on July
% for the purpose of forming a Ten
nessee Farm Bureau, which would
then be affiliated with and become
part of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, which already covers
three-fourths of the states and has a
membership of several millions. 1t is
probably that President Porter will
recommend to the directors Saturday
that in addition to the president other
representatives be appointed to this
meeting.
The sentiment for a state fedora
ton is very strong, the majority be-
lieving that unless affiliated with the
national organization no real abiding
results can be obtained from the coun-
ell. On the other hand affiliation
means a large increase in the fees of
the members and it is feared that this
will result in a loss in membership
The whole question will doubtless be
threshed out Saturday.

FIRST WHEAT OF
new HARVEST is
RECEIVED HERE.
WILLIAM p. RIDLEY AND JOHN M.
GRAY SHIP TWO CAR LOADS
TO THE CITY.
ALL GRADES NUMBER TWO
Columbia Mill & Elevator Company
Receives Consignment Of As Fine
Quality As Ever Grew in the County.
Here for Storage.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
To William p. Ridley, of Clifton
place, again goes the distinction of be-
ing the first farmer in Maury county
to send a car load of wheat to the
market, although this year he ties
with his neighbor, John NJ. Gray, for
the honor. On Tuesday afternoon the
Columbia Mill & Elevator Company re
ceived from Mr.. Ridley and from Mr..
Gray two car loads of wheat, one each
being shipped by them.
The wheat was Of an unusually high
grade and was clean and dry. 1t was
above the minimum weight allowed
for strictly No. 2 wheat and therefore
easily graded No 2. If it can be taken
as a fair sample of the wheat of the
county the quality this year will be
good.
Mr.. Ridley, one of the foremost
wheat growers of the county and who
always has big acreage, has not yet
threshing, but it is under
stood that so far as he has gone his
returns indicate a yield of around
twenty bushels to the acre, which is
a splendid average. in fact far above
that of the county.
In the two cars that arrived at the
mill Tuesday there were approximate
ly 1000 bushels. This wheat was stOr-
ed. However, the market for wheat
Of the quality received would be in
the neighborhood of $l.25 a bushel

LET BUSINESS ALONE,

President Harding was widely her'
aided as the candidate who would put
more business and less politics in gov
eminent, 1t was promised that IN
the event of his election there would
be an end to governmental 1nterfer'
ence with business and the many
vague and visionary schemes for reg
ulation" upon which the Wilson admin
istration had embarked would speedl-
" come to an end. In short and In
fine Harding won his election by sew
en- millions majority, not because OF
his position on the league Of nations,
but largely because the American peo'
pie had grown weary Of constant gov
ernmental regulation and interference
with legitimate business. The voters
of this country wanted more business
in government and less politicals ma
nipulation of business. They. were
weary of boards and commissions and
Investigations and campaigns and cru
sades. They were heartily sick OF the
constant effort to remedy economic
ills with political legislation. They
were disguised with the growing tenE
dency on the part of the Wilson ad-
ministration to try the virtue OF legis-
lative fiat to cure all of the ills Of
which the human flesh is heir.
Now has the Harding administration
made good on its promises? Is it
abandoning any of the regulatory ef-
forts of it's predecessors? On the con-
trary it has passed in both the house
and senate bills for the regulation OF
the meat packing industry, carrying
one step nearer contamination the
socialistic and communistic theory
of the naturalization OF industry. For
eight years the democratic admins
tration declined to embark upon this
visionary scheme that will simply
mean more taxes without any result
ant benefits to any one But the re-
publican party with all Of its pro.
fessed devotion to the legitimate bus
mess interests of the nation, is has
tening to regulate" and now the at
torney general is out laundering
against "pro1iteers, which has a
strangely familiar sound. Millions
were expended by Palmer and infin'
lite harm done the business and agri'
cultural interests of the nation with
out any resultant benefits and now we
are threatened with repetition of the
spectacular but useless tactics of the
former administration. -,.......
The emergency tariff bill was wide
ly advertised as the panacea for all of
the ills which the farmers suffered.
If there is a single solitary farmer in
Maury county who can show any ben
efts from this legislation, he has not
let The Herald into his confidence. On
the contrary this paper doubts very
much if even the high tariff advocates
among the farmers would care to be
witnesses of the beneficial results Of
this character Of legislation. If only
the administration would recognize
the economic truth that business de-
preston cannot be improved or finan
cial difficulties solved by simple legis-
lative fiat, and would practice econo-
my, reduce and reform our taxes and
let business, alone, this nation would
soon be on the high road to prosper
