PUBLIC GIVEN A CHANCE TO AID
ONE OF THE ciTY'S BEST
ORGANIZATIONS.

Scouts are actively canvassing the
city for the sale Of tickets to their
Jamboree to be given on Thursday
night, April IA and they have met
with much success in their sales. The
public has an opportunity now to
show appreciation of band of boys
that are always ready to do any SER
vice for the community. Only re-
Gently the scouts went down on their
hands and knees and picked up several
barrels Of broken glass from the
streets of the city. A few days ago
they responded almost 100 per cent
to- the appeal to help out the automo'
bile show and the Kiwanis club. They
never fail in any CALI Now they are
asking the people of the city to come
to a real show, where every one gets
value received. Instead of making a
direct appeal for funds for the sup
port Of the scouts this entertainment
will be given.

mo FENCE LAW IS
/ PASSED By HOUSE
EXPECTED THAT SIMILAR ACTION
WILL BE TAKEN SOON BY
THE SENATE.

The so-called no fence law recon
mended by the board of directors of
the county council of agriculture was
passed on final reading in the house
of representatives on Wednesday
night AS the bin passed without any
contest it is assumed that both Repre-
sentatives Jones and Russell support
ed it, although it had been reported
here that Representative Russell was
not in favor of the measure. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill will be called up
and passed by Senator Looney before
the end OF the week. Under the terms
of the measure it takes effect from
and after its passage" which means
that within few days Maury county
win have what is popularity known as
the mo fence law" In other words
under this law it would be possible
for a farmer to till his acres without
any fence except around the lot in
which he ran his stock.

Is Discussed In
House Today
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. April THE
back tax bill came@up as special orr
der.
The bill changes the present sys-
TEN of collecting delinquent taxes,
Speaker Todd offered an amendment,
providing that between June and Jan
uary while the delinquent lists are in
the trustees office, the penalty shall
be five per cent, prorated between the
state and county instead of ten per
cent going to the revenue agent. The
amendment also provides that where
collections are made without filing a
bill, after the books have been turn
ed over to the revenue agent, the lat
ter shall be allowed ten per cent, but
in the event collections are made
through filing bill in chancery, the
revenue agent shall be entitled to only
fifteen per cent.
Under the original bill the revenue
agent not only received ten per cent
of the collections made after that,
whether he collected without fling a
bill or not.
Mr.. Shea, of Shelby, offered an
amendment to the amendment, restor-
ing the ten per cent penalty to the rev.
enue agents on the collections made
between June and January while the
books were in the hands of the trus-
tee. Before action came upon these
questions, the house adjourned until
2:3O o'clock this afternoon.

Withsa county attorney, county high,
way superintendent, poor house com
missioner and two members of the
county board of equalizatson to be
elected, with all Of the other routine
business to be transacted, the coming
session Of the quarterly court which
meets aext Monday holds unusual IN.
terest to the public and from present
indications regular first Monday
crowd will be on hand. The elections
are the most interesting feature OF
the meeting to the public and 1t Ia
said that soon after the court con.
venes a motion will be made to sus-
pend the regular order and proceed
to the elections.
There are two candidates for county
attorney, three for county highway
superintendent, but no active candi-
dates for poor house commissioner or
member of the board of equalization,
Squire Cord G.. Denton. former mem
Der and former legislator. can have
the poor house ommissionership III
he wants it.lbut he is not candidate.
Friends of Miles P. Murphy, former
member of the county board OF edu-
cation are urging him for the place.
He lives near the poor house and IL
well qualified and should Squire Den.
ton decline to allow the use Of his
name will probably be elected. ,,s
From present Indications the race
for county attorney is going to at
tract more interest than any other
contest due to the fact that both
candidates are very popular and ex-
ceedingly active and the result ap-
pears to be close. The court will fix
the salary Of the attorney dlso. ~
A determined effort will also be
made Monday to renew the appropHa-
tion for the county home demonstra-
tion agent which was voted down at
the January term by only one vote.
Every county in this district that at
the January court voted down this
appropriation has since restored 1t. II
is believed that Maury county will
not be any exception.
There are number OF applications
for bridges filed with the county
Judge and these appropriations vim
also come before the court The usual

ANTS REJOICE
over DEFEAT OF
ExTENlS;IlON BILL
DECLARE THAT THEY HAVE WON
AcoMPLETE VICTORY IN LONG
DRAWN our FIGHT.
WILL Be NO RECONSIDERATION
Failure to Enter Motion to That Effect
They Hold, automatically Ends the
contest---some of the Annexation
lists Still Hopeful. @ ta@

That annexation of any territory to
the city of Columbia is dead so far as
this session of the legislature is con-
cerned Is the statement Of ali Of the
anti.annexationists this morning. who
are jubilant that the bill failed in. the
house last night for the lack of con-
stitutional majority.
According to the statements of the
antis no motion to reconsider the vote
when the bill failed was made or en-
tered and therefore none can be made.
They state that Speaker Todd declar-
ed after the bill had failed that no
motion to reconsider having been
entered the vote would stand. They
also declare that had a motion to re-
consider been uttered no change
would have been made because ii
would have been impossible to get the
other twenty two votes needed to put
the bin over.
There were twenty-seven members,
or more than a fourth OF the entire
membership of the house, who declin-
ed to vote. They did not care to of
fend either Representative Russell or
representative Jones but their failure
to vote was equivalent to a vote
against the bill For 1t required the,
Affirmative votes Of fifty members to
pass the measure.
Some Of the annexationists profess
some hope ofyet passing the bill, but
it is said that Representative Jones
does not encourage them In this hope.
The vote in the house last night was
on the Looney bill; just as it passed
the senate. No amendments were of
fered or adopted and had the bill pass
ed the lines would have been just
where they were fixed iii the Looney
BILL that is West End proper to Tuck
er's store would have been an9evad.
However much disappointed the
greater Columbians are over the de.
feat of their bill they are glad tn t at
last the long fight, which has be n in
progress for three months, is over
and they can return to their a GUS
toned affairs

People Aroused.

The arrest Of State Senator e. N.
Clabo, of Seyierville, yesterday on a
charge of accepting $500 bribe for
using his influence to defeat the sales
tax bill now pending in the legisla-
ture, has caused a profound sensation
in Columbia
The arrest of Senator Clabo was
almost the entire topic of conversation
upon the streets, in the business hous-
es and clubs, or where ever two or
three men interested In public affairs
got together
1t seemed to be the unanimous con-
census of opinion that the arrest of
Senator Clabo meant the death knell
of the back tax measure, so heartily
despised in every section of the state
All who discussed the matter were
apparently satisfied that authorities
had the dead wood" on Senator Cla-
bO before he was arrested, and that
further investigations will bring out
sensational developments concerning
the activity of the back tax machine.
The people of Maury county are be-
coming more and more aroused
against the back tax machine
and already battle lines are being

who are responsible for the perpetna-
tion of this evil in the state. Voters
are determined that the ballot in the

timent of the state against this ma
chine and those VINO supply the fuel
and oil to keep it running.

Columbia Annexation Bill
Fails In IN House for Want
OF Constitutional Majority
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. April 7.-At
the night session of the house, senate
bill No. 329 to extend the corporate
limits of Columbia came up for con
sideration, and on vote failed for
want of constitutional majority
The house committee on municipal
affairs recommended the bill for rejec-
tion.
Representative Russell moved that
the recommendation Of the committee
be made the action of the house. He
said the proposition had never been
before the people for vote and that
the committee had recommended the
bill for rejection after hearing at
tended by many citizens of Columbia.
Representative Jones said that Seh-
ator Looney who introduced the bill,
was a resident of Columbia and han
told him there had not been an extern
sion of the limits OF Columbia since
1869, and while he was a resident of
Maury county he was going to stand
by Senator Looney in advocating the
passage of the bill.
Chairman Jamison, of the municipal
affairs committee, said the break
in the Maury county delegation had
placed the committee in an embarraEs-
ing position, but that after hearing
the committee had decided to recon.
mend the rejection of the bill, in view
of the fact that the people to be taken
in had not voted on the proposition.
Mr.. Jones said he had offered an
amendment to exempt the annexed ter
ritory from taxes until they had
streets, lights. pavemenis and fire pro-
lection. Aa
The house voted directly on the pass
age of the bill, the vote being 2S ayes,
25 noes, 27 present and not voting.
No motion TO reconsider was entered,
and the defeat of the bill is regarded
as final.
