Major stanton Accepts.

In response to, the letter of the
Secretary, notifying Major Henry
Il. Stanton of his election to deliver
the annual poem, at the next meet
ing of the Tennessee Press .Associa-
tiOn, the following has been re-
ceived:
DR.. II. L. c. White, Secretary:
My DEAR SIR-I recognize the
compliment rendered me by the
Press Convention of Tennessee, and
it will afford me pleasure to under
take poem for the meeting at Gal
Iating next June. The graceful pre-
cedent which you have already es-
tablished will render it no easy
matter to fill the measure of expec-
tation among the accomplished
editors of Tennessee, but, in poetry,
as in other matters of life, the soul
is the substance, and / shall try to
let mine appear.
Thanking you and your associ-
ates for the distinction, / am very
truly yours,
HENRY T. STANTON.

The Preservation of the Voice.

In a recent Lecture in New York
on the '1Hygienne of the Voice, -
DIR. Ward said that there are many
agents which more or less influence
the voice, the four principles which
are climate, dress, diet and exercise.
Change of climate will undoubtedly
for a time exert some slight delete
teriOus influence on the larynx, but
this influence is greatly Overesti-
mated. All clothing should be
loosely attached to the body. The
present fashionable style of dress is
decidedly unhealthy. The chest
andabdOmenar are naturally confined,
the lungs and other organs thus
being prevented from acting in a
normal manner. The dress should
be worn high in the neck, and the
sensible female artist avoids as
much as possible appearing on the
stage in full dress. The throat
should not be wrapped in comfort
ers, bOas, etc., chest protectors
should not be worn and the feet
should be guarded against wet.
Food supplies nOurishment and
warmth, and the article of diet
which has the special property of
producing heat in the body is fat.
The diet of the singer should be
bland as well as nutritious. OF the
different kinds Of meat, Venison,
turkey, roast beef and lamb are the
hardest to digest. Cooked Vege-
tables, unless too highly seasoned,
are easily digested; cut cabbage, Gu
cumbers and such like should be
avoided. Pastry should be invaria-
bly, discarded. Dinner at noon,
followed by light tea at nightfalI,
is a rule which if rigidly adhered
to, will be safeguard against all
attacks of indigestion. In
order that acts of singing be prop
erly, performed it is absolutely nee
essary that the stomach be neatly
empty. Alcoholic beverages should
not on any consideration be in
dulged in by vocal artists, for they
destroy freshness and vivacity, and
produce peculiar hoarseness and
cough, easily distinguished by the
practiced ear.
For the proper development of
the vocal chords there are several
rules which must be observed. The
must be regularly and
Systematically practiced; they must
always be within the register; they
should never be pushed to the point
of fatigue; they should never be
made use of when the vocal organs
are attacked by cold, no matter how
slight, and they should. be practiced
while standing upright, so as to al
low of free play Of the lungs and ac-
cessorary vocal organs. Bodily
exercise is especially beneficial to
the singer. In concluding his letter
DIR. w. said that learning to sing
is learning to be healthy.

COMMISSIONER KILLEBREw in
his July report has this to say about
the growing tobacco crop in this
State:
Though the seasons i'm the tobacco
growing counties have been frequent
late plants have been exceedingly
scarce. When set out they have,
in a majority of instances, been
scOrched by the intOlerable heat of
a summers sun. All fields planted
after the 18th of June are badly
missing. That planted previously
stands well, but the growth has by
no means been uniform or healthy.
Early buttoning is complained of,
as well as spindling and siclxly
growth. In fact the season has not
been the most favorable for the
growth of this plant. Too much
rain Injuries the crop, causing il to
french and to grow badly. In many
places the crop has suffered for want
Of proper cultivation. Weeds and
grass are painfully conspicuous i'm
many tobacco fields, and the contin-
Red wet weather in the Clarksville
tobacco district gives but little op-
portunity to work il. The first
planting is now coming in top but
the leaves are narrow and poorly
developed. / have heard no COM
plant of the horn-worm (Sphin1
Carolina and it is to be hoped we
shall have a surcease of its ravages
during the season. Under all the
circumstances L do not anticipate
that more than a two-thirds crop
will be housed. The average in
Middle Tennessee 70 SIP; in West
Tennessee 70 7-10. Several counties
heretofore raising it having aband-
oned its culture for market.

The Great Duel.

The famous duel in which forty
or more gentlemen were engaged,
in 1928, is still remembered in
Natchez. Col. James Bowie, the
famous fighter and inventor of the
knife which bears his name, used to
spend great deal of his time i'm
Natchez.
He was challenged by gentle
man from Alexandria, La, whose
friends, to the number of forty or
more, accompanied him to Natchez
to see fair play, knowing that Bowie
was desperate man and had his
own friends about him. All parties
went upon the field. The combat
ants took their places in the center,
separated fl'Om their friends i'm the
rear, or enough not to endanger
them with their balls. Behold the
battle array thus: Twenty armed
Louisianians fifty yards behind
their champion and his seconds and
surgeon, and opposite them, as far
behind Bowie and his seconds and
surgeon, twenty armed Mississippi
ans. Behold the heights of Natchez
thronged with spectators, and
steamer in the river rounded to, its
deck black with passengers watch
ing with deep interest the scene.
The plan of fight was to exchange
shots twice with pistols, and to close
with knives, Bowie being armed
with his own terrible weapon. At
the first fire both parties escaped.
AT the second, the LOuisianian was
too quick and took advantage of
Bowie, who waited the word. At
this BOwie's second cried "foul
play" and shot the LOuisianian
dead. The second of the latter in
stantly killed the slayer of his prin-
cipal. Bowie drove his knife into |
this man. The surgeons now crossed |
blades, while with loud cries came |
on the two parties of friends, the |
light of battle in their eyes. In a |
moment the whole number was en-
gagged in fearless conflict. Dirks, !
pistols and knives were used with |
fatal effect, until one party drove
the other from the field. | do not |
know how many were killed and |
wounded in all, but it was a dread |
ful slaughter. Bowie fought like a
lion, but fell covered with wounds.
For months he fingered at the Ma
son House before he fully recovered.

A lady i'm Springfield, Mass, ac-
cording to the Union, has been
making some interesting expert
ments in putting up canned goods

tends more or less To the injury OF
the flavor, and the lady referred to
has found that by filling the cans
with fruit, and then with pure, cold

a COnstantinople dispatch TO the
London Times says ''Mr. Fawcett
has returned from LegOs, and re-
ports that intense suffering exists
among the population south of the
RhOdope Mountains. He enumer-
ateS the horrors perpetrated by the
Bulgarians and Cossacks, and some
times by regular Russian soldiers,
whose design seems to be the eXter-
minatiOn or utter dispersion OF
Mussulmans and OF Christians favor
able to them. In the DOmOdea dis
trict fifty-three villages have been
plundered and burnt by Russian
and bulgarian troops within the
last two months. Twenty-three
villages have been laid waste and
burnt in the district of Haskiev,
and in the PhillippOpolis district
twelve villages have been burnt.
In many villages there has been
wanton destruction attended by
deeds Of unheard of barharitV.
Cases Of men and women deliber-
ately burnt alive have been frequent.
The violation ofthe young has also
been very frequent.
Nothing more horrible than the
particulars of this report can be inn
agined. Its veracity rests on the
official authority Of one of the most
respected of Her Majesty's servants,
and Of men employed by him upon
his conviction Of their perfect trust
worthiness. Mr.. Fawcett intends
to lay his report before the English,
Austrian and French ambassadors
with view To sending out COM
mission of inquiry to the spot, 10 en-
deavOr to put an end 20 these ex.
cesses, which disgrace humanity"

SPARE MOMENTS.

Every teacher, male or female, has
more or less spare moments before
and after school. Nearly every teach
er will let more or less of these mo-
ments go to waste. lie is also in need
of more information than he already
possesses. Every teacher knows. if he
knows anything, that the intellectual
development of his school depends ex-
elusively upon the intellectual devel-
opment of himself. Every teacher
knows that all information is not re-
ceiyed in school. Every teacher. who
is honest with himself and toward
his school. will endeavor to teach his
pupils in the best practical manner
within his reach. These are facts
which are beyond dispute and SC
simple, need NOT go further than the
mere statement of them.

in the field for active campaign work,

the politics of our own State. We
would suggest that the Republicans OF
Pierce and st. Croix unite in an effort
to secure an address at River Falls
during the ensuing month, by some
distinguished and popular speaker,
with view of making it the occasion
of an extensive and enthusiastic DEM
onstration. A day meeting at Els
worth, as central point for Pierce
county, addressed by Hon. Thomas NJ.
Nichol, who makes speciality of the
financial question would doubtless be
productive of good results, when our
Greenback friends would be treated to
a clear and truthful exposition of this
question by one who has bestowed up
on it much thought and careful study

points during the capyass we are sure
he would meet with a cordial welcome
