SALE AUTO LICENSE
CONTINUES RUSHING
BUT HUNDREDS HAVE NOT YET
PURCHASED 1921 LICENSE TAGS.
SOON BE DELINQUENT.

The sale of 1921 automobile license
tags at the Office of County Court
Clerk Lipscomb goes merrily ON, but
still there are hundreds of automobile
owners in the county who are each
day laying themselves liable to the
penalty by not purchasing the 1921
tags. These tags were available at
the county court clerks office ON Jam
uary 1, and all cars in operation since
that time should have borne the. new
numbers.
After February 1, a heavy penalty
will be added to the purchase price
of these tags, and those who further
procrastinate in the purchase of the
license plate will find that their delay
has cost them dearly. There has been
no change in the price of the license
tags since last year.
Owing to the uncertainty to the
status Of the wheel tax law and the
attempt that win likely be made to
cancel this tax for 1921, there has
been practically no payment of the
Maury cSszfy vehicle tax this year.

PAY UP WEEK

BE HELPFUL 70 THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY.

The announcement in The Herald
Wednesday afternoon that the Colum-
bia Retail Credit Association had de-
signated Februay / to 5 as a pay-up
week in Columbia is getting the at
tention of all of the people of the com
munity. Several citizens have inquir-
ed the meaning Of the movement.
1t has only one meaning, and that
is to try Und get every man, and wom-
an in the county who owes an account
to pay it and have the ledger sheet
squared. BY so doing you establish
a good, line of credit with your mer-
chants for the coming year, but If you
let your accounts 60 unsettled you are
breaking down the best thing Of your
life, your cedit, which is nothing short
of confidence your fellow man has In
you, and when you destroy his con.
fidence, you destroy his respect.
Make it your business to see every
merchant you owe and either pay the
bill or makes arrangements to take
care OF 1t within very short while.

No changes were made in the Off

Col. Brownlow, like his associate, has
never been anything but banker and

DILIGENCE IN
ASSESSMENT OF
1921 DOC TAX
ACTION or LEGISLATURE YES.
TERDAY ADDS TO DETERMINA.
.TloN OF ASSESSOR.
MAKE EFFORT LIST ALL CANNES
Law Has Been Held Constitutional by
Supreme Court, and Nothing Now
Stands in Way of Most Rigid En-
forcement Of 1919 Statute. ~ q

The action taken in the house Of
representatives Of the Tennessee leg
islature yesterday with reference to
the dog tax is expected to take Tax AS
SCISSOR Webb Williams and his capable
deputies more determined than ever to
assess every dog In the county for
taxation.
The effort to repeal the dog law of
1919 was killed in the house yester-
day. The supreme court OF the state
had previously held that the dog law
was unconstitutional. There is moth
ing now to prevent the most rigid en-
forcement of the law.
Last year officers were somewhat
less dilligent in the enforcement of
the dog law than they otherwise would
have been had they expected the SUI
preme court to hold the law at its full
worth. It was currently reported many
times that the law would not hold
water" and that it could never be en-
forced
Now with the determination of leg
islators to keep this statute upon the
books, and the decision of the court
behind them, the assessor and depu-
ties can go out into the highways and
byways of the county End assess ev.
cry dog and feel confident of the col
lection of the tax.
It is estimated that there are not
less than 5000 and probably 5000
dogs in Maury county, which should
bring in not less thai $4,000 to $1,000
which would pay fair value for every
sheep killed in the county during the
year and leave balance Of SO, 500 to
go to the school fund OF the county,
taking the figures of 1920 as basis
for calculation.
There is an increasing sentiment in
favor Of a rigid enforcement of the
dog law, and County Assessor VIII.
liams will have the support of the best
people of the county in his efforts to
list every canine in the congfines of
Maury..

SIGNAL CORPS
COMPANY HERE:
CAPT. w. p. JACKSON coMMis-
STONED TO RAISE oRGANizA-
TioN IN THIS COUNTY.
TO START RECRUITING NOW
Men viii Not Only Have Military
Training But They viii Get an Op-
portunity to Receive Benefits Of An
ducatlon.

Columbia will have company of
the signal corps of the national guard
of Tennessee. w. p. Jackson, veteran
Of the world war, was on Wednesday
commissioned captain and authorized
to raise company in Maury county.
Mr.. Jackson has gone to work and is
bready now to accept recruits for the
company.
The company will consist of from
fifty toFsixty-four men and officers UP
to June 4, and after that time it will
take between sixty-five and 120 men
and ojoers to make the organization.
The signal service company in Co
lumbia will be more than a military
organization. 1t will also be an edu-
cational Institution. 1t will afford the
members rare opportunity to get a
practical knowledge of profession
that will be useful to them as a means
OF making living. The company will
study wireless, telegraphy, telephony
and in fact everything electrical All
Of the signal methods of the United
States army will be taught This will
all be done at Uncle Sans expense,
and all of the equipment will be fur
nished by the government. Not only
that, during the drill and study periods
the men will receive army pay accord
ing to the rank that they hold.
An unusually large proportion of the
men in the company will be non-com-
missioned officers and these draw ex-
ira good pay. There will be in addi-
tion to the captain first and second
lieutenant, but these officers have not
yet been selected.
The men OF the company will not
have any guns and they will only do
such military drill as is necessary to
teach discipline and to make militia
ry appearance. They will, of course,
be furnished the regulation uniform
and equipment Capt. Jackson hopes
to be ready to have the company mus
tered in at an early date.
