Saturdays game between Massey
Military Academy and Columbia Mill
tary Academy, to be played at Pillow
Park should be one of the best Of the

two schools exists, and it is expected
that many of the student body from

for the game.
In the first game between these
teams this season the Columbia boys
won the game in the ninth inning
when the Pulaski hurler went to
pieces, permitting twelve runs to be
chalked up. against him in that frame.
Up until the ninth inning the Massey
boys were in the lead and the game
ended with the score standing sixteen
to ten in favor of the locals.

only Two Days Remain in Which We.

With probably 1000 warrants to

uties will be as busy as drove of

May.
1t is esctimated that 1000 or more
distress warrants will be issued after
May by County Court Clerk Lips
comb for the collection of the county
wheel tax on automobiles, wagons and
buggies.
Up until this morning the tax had
been paid on Gal wagons, 772 automo-
biles, while buggies headed the list
with 90i, making a total of .2,317 vehi-
cles upon which the tax has been paid.
1t Is further estimated that there are
in the county about 1900 vehicles, ac.
cording to receipts issued last year,
therefore there are more than 5000
in the county who have not paid the
tax 1t is etimated that probably 1000

leave approximately 1000 unpaid in

1t has been announced that there
would be no delay in the issuance of

Of the officials was not made public.

For CdrniDQl
friday Night

Esquire Gilbert M. Orr, president of
the Public School Alumni Associa-
tion, is most enthusiastic over the
prospects for the big alumni carnival
to be given on the athletic fed to-
morrow night, rain or shine. All is
now in readiness for the biggest show
ever, and it is believed that the big
gest crowd that ever attended a High
School entertainment win be in attend
ance
The show will start Immediately
after the big street parade, to be CIV
en- at 1880 O'Clock through the princi-
pal business streets of the city. I'M
der the big top will be found attrac-
tons too numerous to mention, and
they will be well worth the price.
Every penny realized goes to the
scholarship fund. On the closing
night of school the Alumni Associa-
tion will present to some member Of
the 1921 graduating class scholar
ship in a university.
The entertainment therefore serves
double purpOse-it manufactures
mirth, drives the blue away, and at
the same time sends some young man
or young woman to university TO com
plete an education.

the classiest infelders outside of pro-

Green already has many friends in

pennant this fall.
T. With practically a complete team on
hand it is expected that practice will

MANY W0|RKMEN
ARE EMPLOYED
ON new ROAD
GOOD PROGRESS is BEING MADE
BY FOUR CREWS ON NEW
JACKSON HIGHWAY. ''s'
SECTIONS READY FOR ASPHALT
Nearly Mile Is Ready for Surface Now.
Heavy Stone is Required by High
way Department AS Foundation for
Road. r.

With crews of workmen busy on
four sections, splendid progress is be-
ing made in the construction of the
new Jackson Highway between Co.
umbia and Spring Hill. 1t is stated
that within a few days another gang
OF men will be put to work in order to
speed up the construction.
Although no asphalt has been put
down since last fall, nearly a mile is
ready for the surface. The base or
foundation as now required by the
state highway department, now calls
for heavy cobble stones as the first
rock course. Off these large stones
the sharp edges are broken, and then
a layer of smaller broken stone is ap-
ped before the screenings or surface
is placed preparatory to receiving
tht asphalt. Engineers claim that a
road built in this manner will last for
an indefinite period.
On some sections of the road al.
ready completed, small breaks have
appeared in the asphalt, but the high
way department will not accept the
road until these breaks have been re-
paired and the highway is in first
class condition from Columbia to the
Williamson county line. .
Good progress has been made since
work opened up this spring on the
Rutherford creek hill, and grading
there has about been completed and
the laying of the road bed will begin
within a short time. 'a
Contractors declare work will be
pushed just as much as possible dur
ing the next few weeks, and an effort
will be made to complete the new
highway by July. Labor is now much
more plentiful and is not costing as
much as back in the days when the
contract was let.

the year by $1620 The residence us
ing single party line will be advanc-
ed from 1925, the present rate, to
$500, which is an advance of seventy
five cents or exactly onesthird II

ness house uses two party line the
new rate will be $465 month Resi-
dences using the two party line will
be advanced to $2.35 a month and
those with four and five on the same
line will have to pay 81 month.
Hill and Mt. Pleasant for a single
business line will be advanced to
$3.50 month. The same rate for a
single business phone will be charged
at Mt. Pleasant and Spring Hill. These
advances are similar to the Columbia

Culleoka, Mt. Pleasant and Spring
Hill will hereafter cost So per month
and the five party business phones at
those places will be $2.40 a month.
Residence rates at Culleoka, Spring

HIGH GRADES ARE VERY AleA

Coal dealers hold out little hope for
any immediate reduction in the price
of coal and they are rather of the opin.
ion that the persons who are waiting
to buy their winter coal until Later. In
the summer with the belief that they
will save money, are doomed to dis-
appointement. Coal is high, not as
high as 1t has been, but very much
higher than former summer prices
and there is a tendency on the part
of many buyers TO wait in the hope
that coal prices will be adjusted TO
the prices which other commodities
are bringing.
Should there be reduction in
freight rates, as hoped for at an early
date, there would follow reduction
in the price Of coal, because the
freight rate is higher than IT has ever
been, but it is not likely that any re-
duction that is made would effect the
price of next winters coal. f
