BIG ATTENDANCE

BUYERS COME FROM EVERY SEC.
TioN OF MAURY AND ADJoIN.
ING COUNTIES TODAY.
SALE AT EXPERIMENT STATION
Conducted Under Auspices of County
Council-SaIe Did Not Begin Until
After Lunch Was Served by Women
a: Noon.

The First annual sale of the Maury
County Breeders Association, conduct
ed at the Middle Tennessee Expert
ment Station here today attracted buy
ers from every section of Maury and
adjacent counties, and it was evident
that great interest was being mani.
tested in the fine animals shown, but
it was difficult to estimate at noon
just how the prices would run. but it
was not expected that any record
breaking prices would be returned.
The fifty-seven animals that went
under the hammer were among the
very finest ever assembled in Maury
county, each animal being registered
or entitled to registration Every an
imal had been examined by the state
veterinarian, and a guarantee Of
health given each buyer.
At noon splendid lunch was served
on the ground, and free taxi service
from Columbia to the station was fun
nished, and this in itself drew a large
crowd, but there were many strangers
to be seen-those who had come from
q distance to bid or buy.
1t was feared for a time that but few
bidders would be present as few Of
them came in on the morning trains
but soon they began to arrive in au-
tomobiles, and it is estimated that no
ness than a hundred interested visit
ors from other counties were present
when the sale started.
Owing to the fact that the sale did
not start until after noon, it was I'M
possible to secure in time for publiCa-
tion today names Of the buyers, or the
prices paid for the splendid animals
sold.
Up until 2 o'clock this afternoon
twenty head had been sold at an av-
erage of something under 500 each
with $3.50 being the best price report
ed for any one animal.

Recording of the big mortgage here
few days ago, recalled much big

when T. f. Lipscomb, now deputy
county court clerk, was register. RMS
mortgage, said Mr. Lipscomb, was
given by the Charleston Mining and
Manufacturing Company and was to
secure an Indebtedness of $15,OOO,OCO,
The mortgage was so long that it took
nearly a month to record it and MI
Lipscombs fees for the job were $ll5.
The mortgage was printed in Dook
form and was recorded in two coun-
ties in this state, Maury and Shelby,
besides other places where the com

NOVEMBER z
THREE DAYS OF REGISTRATION
FOR COMING ELECTION Ia
OPENS TO-DAY. "~
LARGE LIST IN THE SEVENTH
Expected That Many Women VIII
Also Register in the Third Where
Comparatively Few Have Already
Dcne So.

Registration for the county demo-
cratic primary, to be held three weeks
from next Saturday, commenced in all
Of the eight precincts Of the third,
seventh and ninth districts this morn.
ms The registration will continue
through today, tomorrow asd close at
o'clock on Saturday night 1t is ex-
pected that the registration of women
in all of the precincts will be heavy
and especially in the third district
where very few women have already
registered.
This registration is the final chap
ter IN the primary campaign before the
Battle of ballots on Nov 70. After the
registration the candidates will enter
upon the final lap of the contest. No
very large registration in the ninth.
district is expected due to the fact
that thete was a registration only a
few days ago for the city election. But
in the third and seventh the registra.
tion should be heavy. Not as many
registered at Mt. Pleasant as have
voted in regular election at that
place Less than 700 have register
ed at Mt Pleasant and in 1914 there
were $50 votes cast there. So Iilasy
candidates have friends in that dis
trict that an unusual effort to get out
the women is anticipated
While the registration this time is
primarily for the democratic election
voters registered can vote in any cleo
ton held hereafter within the regis
tration period except in the comisg
city election. Voters who register
this week cannot vote in the coming
city election. One of the tasks that
the officers of the city election will
have will be that of examining all Of
the certificates to ascertain when the
voter registered. Under the law vot-
ors must be registered twenty days or
more before the electios in which they
seek to vote.

lateral reading as far as may be seen from
the cursory reading of manuscripts which
have been opened at this writing.
The teachers In history as we'll as those
in economics, had taken special interest in
getting the full benefit of every angle
offered by the subject.
Among the schools in which there was
much comment upon the contest was the
Stuyvesant High, which is devoted almost
exclusively to the training of boys who de-
sire to go into the mechanical trades. In
that institution the students not only con-
s;Gered the question from the academic end,
but went out TO Interview what labor lead
ers they could find.
AS many OF the students enrolled In these
will have much to do with the industrialism
of tomorrow their reaction to the question
had n peculiar interest.
In some Of the schools which draw from
the East Side there was slight tendency
toward radicalism observed, and tho state
ment of the theme and the various condi-
tions OF the contest were considered in mi-
mute detail.
The contest was welcomed by the teachers
Of English In the various high schools, as IL
gave them the chance 10 cooperate with the
economies division in developing an interest
IN concise literary expression.
THE New York HERALD has placed a SUBJ
ject of great value before the high schools OF
this city" said DIR. Law, of the department
OF English of Stuyvesant High. The
schools OF the city are indeed glad TO avail
themselves Of all such competitions as this.
fcr the essays written under the stimulus
OF a contest are likely to have far more spirit
and clearness OF statement than are COM
positions which are put down merely as ex-
ercises. The incentive of these prizes has.
no doubt resulted in the preparation OF
manuscripts OF crisp expression and well
ordered thought"
There was much favorable comment among
the teachers upon the fact that the condi-
tions OF the contest had laid special stress
upon the deslrability that the copies be
written in concise language such a. that
which obtains In the newspapers and in the
public discussions of the day.
One Of the most interesting features of the
competition is the equal part which the boys
