the light of revelations made by the
senate committee investigating the
use of money III the senate, the fIth-

Legislature generally the winning fight
that the back tax machine made. the
extravaganza of the appropriations

disgust over the record of the demo

1t is generally admitted at this time
that if Ali Taylor lives and is renomi-

lFrom Saturdays Daily Herald.)
columbia is going to have a cork
ing good baseball team this season, a
team which will make other teams in
the circuit get up and hump to beat,
was the substance Of statement
made by Gordon Cowie, president of
the Columbia Baseball Association, to
representative of The Herald.
Jack Compton, who last year played
mi-professional ball around Cleve-
land and Cincinnati, Ohio, and later
managed q team of his own on a sue
cessful transforming tour down the
Eastern Coast, has been employed to
manage the Columbia team.
Manager Compton announced this
morning that transportation has been
wired to men in Mobile, Pensacola and
New Orleans and players are arriving
on almost every train.
1t is expected that before the first
of May no less than twenty-five men
will be working out in Pillow Park
Among the players who will report
for workouts are:
"Screech" Nelson. classy hurler
who losses from the portside. Nelson
played a classy game with Bruton,
Ala, last season, and was offered
contract with the Memphis Southern
League team.
Rube Trotter, another pitcher, for
merly wits with the Birmingham team
Southern Association
"Arrowmlnt" McAvoy, who broke
up a game with the Louisville Ameri
can Association with home run and
tire triples.
Jack Russell a classy fielder who
hit 405 in the Million Dollar" league
last season.
l.. Mcdowell, an outfielder who
played with Columbia last season and
who was given a trial with the Nash
vile team this season has already
reported as has Marston a catcher
formerly in the Western Association.
Red Smith, Skinney Caldwell and
Morrison, Maury county boys will
also work out with the team.
With this material on hand, and
others arriving daily, Manager Comp
ton is confident that a winning team

MUCH CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES
THAN ON RAILROADS, LOCAL
MERCHANTS DECLARE.
OTHER LINES MAY Be PUT IN
Merchants Declare Considerable Saw
ing Could Be Made With WholesaI-
ers Delivering Goods Here From
Trucks.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald
Columbia confectioners, fruit deal,
ers and grocers are now getting fruit
delivered out of Nashville by truck
and at a saving of fifteen cents per
hundred pounds, which leads to the
belief that other trucks will be placed
in operation, between Columbia and
Nashville within the near future I'M
less there osa reduction in freight
rates, which are now almost prohibi-
tive according to local merchants.
One Of the leading merchants of Co
lumbia stated this morning that his
last delivery of fruit from Nashville
had been made via truck, and that he
had paid thirty-ive cents per hundred
pounds for the delivery at his door,
whereas he had been paying fifty
cents per hundred freight rate. This
is asnet saving of fifteen cents per
hundred.
1t is believed that other Nashville
wholesalers will adopt the same meth
cd of delivery, thereby saving custo-
mers a neat little sum in freight
1t is urged by merchants that the
wholesaler who could secure orders
enough in Columbia to load two ton
truck, and ship in that way, and at
reasonable drayage charges, would Sc,
cure the bulk of the BUSINESS here.

(FTom Wednesdays Daily Herald)
In addition to the election of three
aldermen the voters of Mt. Pleasant
will on Tuesday, May 25 (the fourth
Tuesday, elect three aldermen. One
each will be elected from the second,
third and fourth wards. The mayor
and aldermen will be elected for terms
of two years the voters annually elect
ing three of their aldermen.
For the purpose of registering the
voters Of the city who have not here

moved since they were last register
ed the registration books will be open
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
May ?, and 4. The books will be
open between the hours of s o'clock
a. m. and 8 o'clock p. m.
There are now no signs of any con
test for mayor or members of the
board of aldermen and it is not expect
ed that there will be any.
This will be the first election in
Maury county held under the new law
which requires poll tax receipts from
women. AS the law requires that
these taxes be paid sixty days before
the election an interesting question
arises as to wether or not any women
will be qualified, since none of them
have paid their poll taxes.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Recruits for Columbia's new league
ball team are arriving on almost every
train. Among the new arrivals in the
city are McVoy, Scarritt mad Ham
mers. These names are widely known
throughout Tennessee and Alabama
in Glass d and semi-professional base
ball circles. McVoy last season per-
formed in the outfield for the Brew
ton, Alabama, club, and according to
advices from that town, he is not only
CLASSY man in the outer garden, but
is also gentleman, and generator
of pep and good fellowship on the
team.
. Scarritt, also an outfielder from Ala
bama, has been playing a great game
in semi-professional circles, and comes
to Columgia highly recommended.
Hammers, who will hold down the
hot corner, comes from TullahOma,
where he starred with last years team.
Tullahoma had one of the strongest
semi-pro teams in the state last sea-
son, defeating practically every team
opposing, and Hammers was always
in the limeight with the willow.
Pilot Compton announced this morn
ing that still other good men are ex-
pected in tonight or tomorrow, and
within day or two it is expected that
there will be two or three candidates
for each position. Among the local
boys looking good in practice is Skin
n.y. Caldwell, of Mt. Pleasant. Skinny
has a large following among the fan
flock here pulling for him.
1t is believed that by the time the
season opens on May 16, Manager
Compton will have whipped into shape
a team that will give the other three
clubs in the circuit real race for
the money.

party who have been aligned with the
successful back tax faction it is con
fessed that if the democratic patty is
restored to power it must procure an
absolute divorce from the back tax
machine. Whether justly SO or not
the impression is almost universal
that the back tax machine is largely
responsible for the reprehensible re-
cord made by the legislature. OF
course there were other interests that
must share the blame that attaches
to the record Of the legislature with
the back tax crowd, but public suspi-
cion is so generally directed at the
machine that some of its supporters,
anxious for party success, are in IA
vOr of declaration next year on the
part Of the nominee that it will be
wiped from the face of the earth
Moreover it is agreed that as part
of the program for democratic success
the nominee must be pledged to a re-
duction|of taxes and a cutting down
of appropriations. A ringing declara,
ton against any member of the legis-
lature holding any office of profit I'M
der the state government will also be
insisted upon.
1t is also admitted that unless the
democrats nominate a winning cand-
date for governor the United States
senatorship will be lost to the demo
cratic party.
