francis will be awarded by the state
highway commission at an early date
for the construction of the Mt. Pleas
ant and Pulaski turnpikes. A delega-
ton of Maury county citizens interest
ed in good roads, interviewed the
members of the commission on Thurs
day and came home very much encour.
aged
1t is contended by the citizens inter,
estod that not only should the resolu-
tons of the County court and the state
highway commission be carried out
and the roads built now, but that the
awarding of the contracts will turn
loose thousands of dollars in the coun
ty and materially a.d in the solution
of the labor problem and help tide
over the present depression. There
is an abundance of unemployed labor
and many teams that are not in use in
the county and the work on these
rolds will provide employment for all
this surplus.
Everything is in readiness for the
letting of the contracts as the county
court several months ago authorized
a bond issue sufficient to pay the coun-
tvs third of the cost, the remaining
two-thirds coming from the federal
and state governments. However. it
was made plain that no contracts
would be awarded until there was bet
ter cooperation between the state and
county authorities.

from now until harvest time the coun.

The early oats always make heavier

growth of cover crops there will be
many Easter market lambs in the
county, spring lambs too, not the fall

places in the district 50 that there is
an average of a candidate and a half

The registration last week is said
to have been heavy at some of the
precincts and so great is the interest
that some of the voters who register

Strange to say despite this interest
not a woman has registered at some

K|WANIS CLUB
WOULD SPEED UP I.
ROAD CONTRACT
COMMITTEE NAMED TO TRY TO
ADJUST DIFFERENCES BE.
TWEEN COUNTY AND STATE.
WANT BETTER COOPERATION
County Attorney Shelton Denies That
: the County Has Not Complied With
Its Part of the Contract, With the
State Department.
(From Fridays Daily Herald)

tFrom Fridays Daily Herald.)
TO bring about an understanding be.
tween the state highway commission
ana the county authorities so that the
contract for the construction of the
Nashville pike could he carried to a
conclusion at once and objections be
removed to the awarding of contracts
on the other roads ordered built, a
committee was today appointed by the
Kiwanis Club. 1t was brought to the
attention OF the club by Judge John
w. Fry, JOS. w. Chapman and DR..
Roy Hardison that the state highway
commission would not award the con.
tracts for the construction of the Pu.
laski and Mt. Pleasant pixies until
they could get better cooperation
from the county officials. But for that
lack OF cooperation it was stated that
the contracts would be awarded at
once.
County Attorney Hugh Todd Shell
ton was called on and he said that the
county authorities had acted within
their rights; that there were certain
provisions of the contract between the
state and county with which the state
commission had not complied and that
he had advised that until the state
commission did meet it's obligations
in respect to the contract that the
county would not be justified in pay
ing over more money. Mr.. Shelton
said, for example, that no formal de.
mand had ever been made on the coun-
ty by the state commission for the is
suance of but $4,000 of bonds; that
the bonds had been issued and the pro-
ceeds all turned over to the state com
mission as required under the con-
tract
Several members of the club spoke
of the benefits that would come from
the letting of the contracts and the ex-
penditure in the near future of some
100000 of money in the county. The
hope was expressed that the differ
cnccs between the state department
and the county officials would be ad-
justed to the end that the additional
contracts could be let. A number of
citizens who interviewed the state de-
partment reported that until there
was better cooperation that depart.
ment you'd not feel justified in award
ing any further road contracts in Mau.
ry county. Judge Fry heads the com
mittee to bring amort this adjustment
of differences.
Col. E. Foster Graham, command
ant of the Columbia Military Acade
my, was the chief speaker at the
luncheon today, discussing in most
interesting way the training of an
army and the value of military train
ing for the youth of the land.

Second Terms.
From Fridays Daily Herald)

From Fridays Daily Herald)
Although it is more than year un.
I'll the next general election, already
much interest is being taken in the
contests for county Offices. There will
be FIVE very desirable and not so desir
able offices to be filed at the August
election, 1922. Three OF these will be
"open" contests, that is the present in
cumbents will not be candidates for
reelection and that usually means
full field of candidates.
The second terms of County Court
Clerk Arch w. Lipscomb, Trustee J.
Ross Burns and Sheriff Gabriel X.
Houser will expire next year Meth
err, it is expected, will again be a can,
didate But there will be a field full
of candidates to succeed them, at least
so far as trustee and county court
clerk are concerned, because these are
regarded as the most desirable offices
in the county.
Several names have been mentioned
in connection with the race for trus-
tee and two or three have been sug-
gested as possible candidates for
county court clerk. No one has yet
positively stated that he would be
candidate for sheriff but several have
lightning rods out. e
1t is generally regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that Joe Anderson
will be reelected circuit court clerk
for second term without the sem
bance of opposition. This is likewise
true of James j. Pogue, county regis
ter, who is serving his first term. 1t
Is customary to give both these Off
Gals a second term and Messrs, An
derson and Pogue are two of the most
popular officials that the county ever
had
Tax Assessor Webb Williams was
reelected for term of four years last
August and his Office will not be filled
next year There will be no election
for county Judge either as the term
of Judge Whitthorne does not expire
until 1926.
In addition to all the county officers
to be chosen there will be all of the
district officers except justices of the
peace to be elected
