AMENDED BILL IS PRESENTED
Collection is Sought on About 5000
Not Included in, Original Bili--De-
Tense Regards Action of Court As a
Sweeping Victory.
(From Mondays Daily Herald.)

(From Mondays Daily lierald.)
What is regarded as a, sweeping vic
tory by the attorneys representing the
estate was won in the chancery court
on Saturday afternoon when Judge Ly-
tie overruled the exceptions to the
clerk and masters renortsip the case
Of the city of Columbia against the es-
tate of the late Judge H., e. Erwin.
After the exceptions had been over
ruled the court directed that the re-
port ,of,the clerk and master. be- CON-
tirme4 and made sa part of the decree
in the case.
Immediately after the order Of the
court confirming the report of the
clerk and Smasteflthe city, through it's
counsel filed an amended bill seeking
to recover about $4,000 that was, not
included In thei original bill,i To the
action obithe court in allowing the
amendstinbilifo be filed by the city
the defendants lawyers excepted.
Should the decree of the chancellor
enteredh Saturday confirming the re-
port be finally approved, in the event
of an appeal, it would mean that on
all of the items on which a recovery
was sought by the city in the original
bill, the city had lost and the defend
ant would be found not to be indebted
to the city on such sums. In the re-
port of the clerk and master, (which
was an unusually exhaustive ONE con
tanning more than 500 pages, it was
found that the late recorder during all
the time covered by the litigation, had
regularly made full and complete re-
ports to the city council and that such
reports had been uniformly approved
by that body,
1t will be recalled that shortly after
the Cherry administration came into

Maury county Jersey breeders are

cording to the tentative plans, al
though subject to change, the sale will
be held some time during the month
Of October, and will be held at Column

Joe Ballanfant, prominent breeder
of Culleoka, is the directing spirit in
the sale and he is receiving the coop
GRAFTON of the best breeders of the
county He already has between sixty
and seventy head >catalogued. Every
one of the animals offered in the sale
will be a good one, declared Mr.. Ball
flanfant. He wants to have an aggre.
fgation that can be backed with the full
assurance of every breeder that she
will reflect credit upon the breed and
the county.
In the opinion of Mr. Ballanfant
there is no reason why Maury county
Jersey Breeders should not have the
best sale In the state. They have the
cattle. The breeding is the best in
the world and their performance has
been repeatedly demonstrated Only
recently two Jersey cows became state
champions in their class.
The dairy industry has probably
been the most profitable that the farm

(From Mondays Daily Herald.

Friends of Sheriff q. X. Houser are

coed himself, despite the fact that he
has served two terms Sheriff Houser
is exceedingly popular over the coun-
ty and he has hundreds of friends who
would vote for him despite the fact
that it would give him third term.
The race for sheriff is sure to prove
one of the most interesting before the
democratic primary. Already eight
candidates for this Office have an
nounced and it is understood that at
least two others are considering entef'
ing the race before the time limit to
qualify expires. ~
1t is understood that friends OF

for sheriff also and Mr.. Dobbins has
the matter under advisement, it is
said, and will probaly reach his deci-
sion with the next few days. ~"
Only short time now remains in
which the candidates must qualify, as
they must make formal announcement
of their candidacy at least sixty days
before the holding of the primary,
which would make it necessary for all
candidates to have their hats in the
ring on Monday, September II.
1t is rumored that there may be adj

connection, but thus far he has not
secured his own consent to enter the

county Offices have been closed on Sep
TENDER IL it is altogether probable
that the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union will submit to the candi
dates a series of questions touching
their attitude on certain questions.
Whether or not these questions will
be submitted to all of the candidates
or simply to those who are seeking
the Office of sheriff, has not been de-
termined. But in any event the wo-
men are going to sound out the can
didates for sheriff. 1t is expected that
these splendid, women who have made
SO many sacrifices and done so much
for Temperance, and c;iiyyic righteousness
will not be satisfied to vote for a can
,didate for sheriff unless they have alb
solute assurance. that ne will clean
up the county.
In common with many men in all
sections of the county, the women
have about reached the conclusion
that present conditions in this county
with respect to the enforcement of the
law, and especially that against the
sale Of intoxicants, conditions are rap
idly growing intolerable. Man,
crimes have been committed in the
county and accidents that are almost
If not quite directly traceable to the
sale of intoxicants. In many sections
the citizens are complaining of the
apparent ease with which the young
men can get loaded" on the vile stuff.
These citizens recognize that men
turned loose in automobiles, full of
mean Ticker are menace to the peace
and security of the county and they
are determined through the election
of a sheriff who will exhaust every
means to enforce the law, to start in
"clean up" campaign.
