AN impression seems to be gaining
ground here aud at Nashville that
Chancellor Merritt will sustain the
Injunction against the Funding Board
In that event the defendants will
most likely enter a demurrer, and
take an appeal to the Supreme Court
1t is even whispered around that an
effort would be made to induce Gov.
ernor Hawkins to ask the Supreme
Court to hole special session to hear
the case. This, however, is only
street talk, and we give it as such
The High Takers in private
conversations admit that the people
are against the 1908 act, and that if
the funding does not take place before
the next Legislature meets it will be
repealed. Hence the 1908 folks are
in desperate strait. They have but
one chance, and that is in favorable
decision of the Courts, which would
enable them to rush the funding pro
cess through before another Legisls-
ture gets together. Some of them
speak with great respect Of the Courts,
and always add that they are glad the
debt question is in the Courts. This
boast cannot mislead many people.
The debt question, that is the equi-
ties of the case or the validity of the
debt, is not before the Court, but
simply the constitutionality of an act
of the Legislature whereby socalled
settlement was made.

Turning Under Glover,

A. writer in the Farm and Field in
reference to the matter of turning under
clover, says that some persons contend
that if clover is turned under in its green
state it IL the land, but that his own
opinion is that it should be plowed I'M
der when in bloom, and gives for proof
of it that he plowed down the one-half
of u field Of clover when in bloom, and
the other half of the field not until
some time after the crop had been
mown for hay that the following year
the wheat on the half of the field which
had been plowed when the clover was in
bloom was not only much the best, but
but that the young clover at the time of
writing was fully six inches higher. But
did it never strike the writer that the
real cause of the difference lay in the
carly ploping of the first half of the
field, and not to the condition Of the
clover when plowed under.
