 We are irrevocably and unalterabl in favor of good roads and other pub Elic utilities for the benefit of the whol people, constructed and maintaine within the financial ability of tn whole people, constructed and main tained so that they will be an asse instead of liability upon the taxaol resources of the people.
 | But we are unalterably opposed t issuing bonds for roads or other i'm provements unless the matter shaI have been previously submitted to tn popular vote of the people affecte and has had their approval.
 We believe that all property shout be equally taxed in improvement dis tricts and to that end we demand a amendment to the state constitutio taxing personal property on an equa ratio with real property in all sue districts.
 In the disbursement of the taxes de rived from taxation upon the real an personal property of the taxpayer we demand "pitiless publicity" and an nual accounting and public auditing 0 all public expenditures.
 We demand that all commissioner or other officers in road improvement districts be elected by the people ant that they be subject to the recall. In order to carry out the principle heretofore set out and secure the en actment of these principles into legis Iation, we. the Polk County Taxpayer League of Mena, Arkansas, do ordail and establish this, our Constitution and Bylaws:

Damage to the extent of several
thousand dollars was done to roads
bridges, fences and lands in a water
spout OF flood that took place ON Sun
day afternoon on the Western edge of
this county and in Lewis county. The
bridge across Camp branch near it's
confluence with Bigby river was
washed entirely away Another bridge
on the Hampshire and Mt. Pleasant
road was damaged and many very bad
washes were made in the road from
Hampshire to Mt. Pleasant. Much of
the wire fence along the region of
the flood waters was washed out
The rains were heaviest in Lewis
and on the Maury county line than be-
low Hampshire. Right in the imme-
date vicinity of Hampshire the rains
were not heavy but in Lewis county
above there so much rain fell that the
creek at Hampshire was out of banks
for several hours. Low lands in the
negro section about Mt. Pleasant
were also flooded
The bridge across Camp branch was
washed almost entirely away. 1t was
an old bridge but had been recently
repaired and strengthened. The
bridge was of steel with wooden
floors, but rested on concrete abut-
ments.
One of the concrete pillars was en-
tirely gone, while the other had been
turned over. The entire bridge, floor
iron beams and all had been washed
down the creek. The waters were so
high that they ran entirely over the
top of the bridge. Lands along the
creek bottoms were also badly wash
ed. At one place string of wire
fence a quarter of mile long was
nearly all down.

BIC JERSEY SALE
EXPERIMENT FARM
ATTRACTING MANY
COOPERATIVE SALE ON OCT. 20
is EXPECTED TO PROVE CON-
PLETE SUCCESS.
WILL HELP DAIRY INDUSTRY
Believed That Cattle Sold Will Re-
main in County and Will Boost
Sales of Dairy Products-Some Fine
Cattle Consigned.
(From Fridays Daily Herald.)

From present indications the CO.
operative sale of Jersey cattle at the
Middle Tennessee Experiment Sta
ton on Thursday, October 20, will be
one of the biggest and best ever held
in the county. The sale will be I'M
der the auspices Of the county coun-
Gil of agriculture and it is expected
that large number of fine and blood
ed cattle will be sacrificed upon the
auction block at the high dollar.
In view of the fact that Maury coun-
ty Jerseys made such splendid show
ing at the. Tennessee state fair, and
the ever increasing interest in the dali
rying industry of the county, it is be-
lieved that the demand for the cattle
offered will be strong.
Farmers have found this year that
milk products have brought them in
more money than anything else raised
on the farm, and this will tend to add
to the attractiveness of the sale.
1t has not yet been announced who
will be the auctioneer, but those who
have cattle to offer for sale, or those
who desire information concerning
those to be offered should get in touch
with the county council.
1t is understood that George Camp
bell, one of the leading Jersey breed
ers of the county and winner of nearly
dozen prizes on his herd shown at
the state fair will consign several
head of his cattle to this sale. Other
live breeders who have a surplus will
probably do likewise.
County Agent Alternately is conf
dent of the complete success of the
sale, and feels that it will mean a
great deal to the dairy industry of the
county.

THE SESSION.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT WORK

Been Held and Much Done for Ii
braries and Other improvements in
Buildings.
(From Fridays Daily Herald.)

Teachers of Maury county will meet
on Saturday, October 1, for the pur-
pose OF recognizing and beginning
the work of the association for the
coming year. The teachers did not
meet on the first Monday of Septem-
Der for the reason that some of the
schools of the county had not at that
time begun their sessions.
Saturday, October /, will also be
the end of the second school month
of most of the elementary schools and
pay day. A full attendance of the
teachers is urged as Superintendent
Graham is exceedingly anxious to be-
gin the years program. The county
association is now affiliated with and
part of the state organization of
teachers, the strongest organization
of the kind that the state has ever
had.
During last year the county associ-
alton had in proportion to the number
of teachers of the county one of the
largest enrollments in the state. The
sessions are always interesting and
well attended, nearly 100 teachers be-
ing present at some of the sessions.

ISOLATION will be organized for the

yards unit they are loaded on the
j. ucks for shipment to Nashville. 1t
is estimated that not more than two
and one-Aall hours will be spent on the
-odl and Tie truck will arrive in time
to put the live stock on the Nashville
market by o'clock, whereas if they
were shipped by freight they are load
ed the night before and arrive at the
nashville stock yards at about II
6 clock.
Officials of the company declare that
is their purpose to run the trucks
on uniform schedule, and later to
establish a uniform freight rate. In
other words to establish fixed charge
on al freight hauled.
Since these big Mack trucks have
been in operation between Columbia
and Nashville they have hauled some
ten OF eleven big freight Car loads of
hogs, and with the loss of but one hog.
The trucks are iced and the hogs ap-
parently ride in more comfort, and
certainly with less loss of time than
on the freight car.
The truck method of shipment is
certainly proving boon to the farm
ers. He is saved the time and worry
of driving them to Columbia, or his
-!lroad station to load them. The
big trucks drive up to the farmers
door and load them, and on the next
morning they are placed on the early
market.
Although no definite announcement
was made, it was intimated by officials
OF the company that still further extern
sions might be made in the service
between Columbia and Nashville and
ii is not unlikely that a passenger ser
vice will be added later.
When asked concerning the damage
to roads that would be done by the
big and heavily loaded trucks officials
said the trucks would improve the
roads, rather than wear them out. 1t
is claimed that the trucks are being
equipped with especial wide tread
tres, which would Iron out" the DAD
way, rather than wear it out. The
trucks, they said, would serve as road
,'ollers.

ed freight rates on railroads the truck

tation of both freight and passenger

four men and three women. Political
ly they are divided into two republi-
cans and five democrats. All of the
applicants are well qualified and there
is no question about every one of
them making the requisite grade of
seventy. But the interesting question
is which of the seven will be the three
highest.
The following men took the exam
nation: Joe Calvert, young farmer
and democrat; w. S. Evins, merchant
and democrat; George N. McKennon,
democrat and insurance agent; EN-

(From Mondays Daily Herald

There is a steady and noticeable in
crease in the Ship by Truck" move
ment. The campaign launched many
months ago is bearing fruit.
The old Hays & Wright livery barn
on North Main street has been leased
by the Adkins Transportation C0mpa-
ny of Nashville and will be converted
into a freight depot md stock yards,
w. A. Austin being the local freight
agent and in charge of the stock yards.
The Nashville depot will be located

offices at 104 Fourth Avenue, South.
The company will operate between
Columbia and Nashville two big three
and one-half ton Mack trucks and one
big Armleader three and one-half ton
truck. These big trucks will make
daily trips to Nashville and return,
taking freight at all way stations.

ny has been incorporated with j. H.
Adkins, president and general mana
ger, w. E. ljams, J. P. Murphy, D. E.
Seibert and Jordan Stokes, Jr., as the
other incorporators.
The new transportation compan
will make a speciality of hauling
live stock, and officials of the organiza-
ton declare that shipinug by truck
will be much mole satisfactory than
by rail, in that less time will be con
sumed on the road, and that hogs ana
sheep will actually gain in weight
rather than lose. The cattle, sheep
and hogs will be fed at the local stock

A strange counterfeit turned up al

because it was bogus $5 gold coin

The spurious coin was made about
fifty years ago and bears the date of
1869. Musty archives Of the secret
service contain record Of the species
and the case Is marked "clOsed." The
coins were made in Maine and came
