The financial operations of the gov
eminent are conducted under statutes so
loose and conflicting that it is not sur
prising that it has taken nearly month
to find exactly what the treasury can do
to meet the bonds falling due in May
and July in case no extra session is
called. In the aggregate these bonds
are in round numbers $67l, 100000, of
which less than one-third are coupon
bonds. A series of acts passed during
the war give the secretary of the treas
ury power to borrow $l5O,O0O,OOO, at
5 per cent or less, holding in reserve
for the payment of this amount $50, 900,
600, in greenbacks. In addition the
surplus revenue of the present year down
to December /, is now expected to reach
Sl00 100000, and it is claimed that
$50,000,000, of the reserve in the treas
ury can also be safely used to take up
bonds falling due. With the aid of a
temporary loan, this disposes of nearly
one-half the bonds payable this summer,
and meets all the coupon bonds outstand-
ing. 1t is scarcely necessary to point
out that refunding at low rate will be
altogether easier next winter, if the gov
eminent has already paid off one-fourth
of the sum to be refunded and is carry
ing another fourth at low rate Of
interest.

POTATOES.

Forty-nine boys got at the rate of 800
bushels per acre or over up the highest,
492 bushels. The corn was measured,
dry shelled corn Sc pounds to the bush
ell. Considering that the state statistics
show the average yield of corn to be SO
bushels per acre and of potatoes 40
bushels per acre, it is safe to predict
that the state has race of farmers
growing up who will in few years
surprise the old folks.

The preliminary work for a tunnel
under the English Channel from Eng
land to France has already been COM
menced. The English terminus will be
between Folkstone and Dover, and the
total length thirty-one miles, of which
twenty-five will be under the straits,
and no part of it less than 200 feet be-
low the water. The formation in this
region is of chalk, and it is hoped,
therefore, that the work of excavation
will be comparatively easy. The cost
is estimated at s2O,O0O,0OO.

The new Secretary of the Interior,

The new Secretary of the Interior,
Mr.. Kiikwood, will not continue COM
petitive examinations in the case of ap-
plicants for office. If he thinks, from
all the evidence be can obtain, that a
person is qualified, he will place him at
work with the understanding that if,
after two or three months service, he
proves not to be competent to perform
the duties required of him, he shall give
place to others.

For several weeks an expert calcula-
tor has been at work in the Census
Office figuring out the location of the
centre of population of the United States.
In 1900 the centre of the population
was not far west of Baltimore. In 1910
it was near Harper's Ferry. Each sue
cessive census has thrown it further
westward at the rate of from FIVE to six
miles annually. In 1870 the centre
was about fifty miles east of Cincinnati.
Between 1870 and 1880 the increase in
the West has driven it westward at
about the usual pace. and the increase
in the Southern States has drawn it in
that direction about eight miles. These
two causes acting together will, it is
thought, cause the present centre" to be
about one or two miles south of the Ohio
River. Immediately back of Covlngton,
Kentucky.

GEN. IL. V. BoYNToN, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincine
natl Gazette, makes the following ex
plicit statement concerning the Pres
ident's physicians:
In view Of the persistent attacks
upon the Presidents physicians. it is
proper as well as just to repeat the
previous declarations that the most
perfect confidence exists in the treat
ment of the case among those who
now make up the White House fans
lily. In this number is included the
constant watchers and nurses. As
has been stated, four of these are
educated physicians-namely: Mrs.
Edison, DR.. Boynton, Colonel Rocks
well and General Swain. The first
two are homeopathists in regular
practice Colonel Rockwell was the
same before the war. General
Swain is an educated allopathist
All are intimate friends of
the family and of the President, and,
IS is known, Mrs Edison and DR..
Boynton have had the advantage of
several years practice in the family of
| General Garfield. Each OF these four
has constant access to the sick room,
and some one of them is always press
ent day and night. It is readily seen
that no surgeons could possibly have
more critical observers than those
who have constantly observed every
detail Of the treatment received by
the President. To the proper jeal-
ousy of the watch arising from be
lief in different system of medicine
has been constantly added that keen
supervision based upon the personal
relations to the President and his
family. To this circle of fully
competent professionally to Judge
and increasing in their watch owe,
the life of their friend, any
means used to recover him, and with
the most minute details of treatment
constantly under their eyes, the
course of the eminent surgeons il
cahrge of the President has been, and
still is entirely satisfactory. It is
not intended by this to convey the
impression that those of this com.
pany who are believers in homeop-
athy would have used all the rene
dies which have been employed, but
they recognize the fact that the Pres
ident is being treated ALPHABETICALLY
and are satisfied that his Treatment
has been in accordance with the bes
practice of that medical school. The
course of the four physicians il
charge has not only received from
the first until now the approval o
this circle of family friends, but i
has been fully and cordially indorsee
by the two eminent consulting sur
geons.

THE Memphis Ledger makes the
following complimentary editorial no
tice of what Commissioner Hawkins
is doing:
Hon. A. w Hawkins, Commissioner
of Agriculture, Statistics, Mines and
immigration for Tennessee, issues q
monthly bulletin in which farms and
residences for sale in the State are
advertised. The bulletin for August
is at hand, and contains, besides q
well written Introductory from the
commissioner, an attractive list of
property offered for sale. AS We
understand it, this is published en-
tirely at the expense of the State,
All the owners have to do is to write
up description of the property and
send it to Commissioner Hawkins.
The bulletins are scattered broadcast
over the country and will certainly
have the effect to attract attention
to Tennessee. About thirty four
counties occupy more or less
space in the bulletin for Au-
gust, which is pamphlet of
eighty-two pages. Davidson coun-

THE KNOXVILLE FAIR AND TURF
ASSOCIATION.

We understand that the directors
of cur Knoxville Fair and Turf AS
ISOLATION are contemplating adding
new and important feature to the
proceedings of the meeting that is
to take place the last of October
next. They will probably invite all
sellers and buyers Of any kind of
stock, sheep, cattle, horses, mules or
hogs, and of grain, to be present, and
will have secretary or clerk to reg
is er the names Of such as want to
buy and such as want to sell, and
give each notice of the wishes of the
other.
We think this will give an admira-
bic atil,tarian feature to the pro
ceedings of the Fair Turf Associa-
ton. Of course it will not be nee
essary for the sellers of stock or
grain to go to the expense of having
all their stock or grain at the fair,
but to have samples of the
grain, and fix the price Where the
seller has but one horse or head OF
stock to sell, that he may have with
him on the grounds if he chooses
But if he has large number, the
buyer or buyers would have, if they
wish to see the stock, to go where il
is Or send an agent. When
bargains are made for future deliv-
cry, it is very important that botl
buyer and seller should observe the
utmost good faith, and if it is profit
able it will become permanent fea'
ture of the Turf Association. A hoar(
should be appointed to hear charges
at the next meeting, and if any buy
er or seller should be found guilt,
of breach of good faith he shoult
be deprived the privilege of having
his name registered ever thereafte
as a seller or buyer.
Knoxville is g central point for cit
liens from Virginia, Kentucky, Geo,
gia and Alabama to meet, and we ma
expect that not only considerable
business will be transacted by tn
citizens Of these States, but that az
quaintances will be made, and bust
ness and social relations established
of q very agreeable character.

and discloses very attractive list of
property, both in the city and county
for sale. The real estate dealers
occupy large space. Shelby county
is not represented at all, perhaps be-
cause this medium of advertising has
not been heretofore fully explained,
and brought to the attention of real
estate dealers and those having prop
erty for sale. Many other large,
rich and prosperous counties also, do
not appear in the list. Commission
er Hawkins has struck upon very
cheap and excellent method to adver-
tise the attractions and resources of
Tennessee, and it will no doubt be the
means of bringing many people of
capital, energy and intelligence to
the State from distance What we
most need is we'll directed, educated
labor. As to more capital for large
undertakings, that will come when
ever there is a good opening and will
take care of itself. But to eecure
healthy infusion Of active, -sergetic,
skillful farmers and mocha IS, such
as constitute much of the i bone
and sinew Of any State COM
munity, it is necessary to ,-sve some
inducements, and then to set them
forth. We have many undeveloped
resources, many inviting fields, I'M
broken forests and rich mines to be
opened and worked. OF course the
most of this should be done and
will be by the natives of the State,
but a few new men coming in gives
q great impetus sometimes, and we
need all who viii come and go to

We noted the fact a few days since,
that the Rugby colony was afflicted
with typhoid fever in an epidemic
form. The fact has been commented
upon by the press, as going to show
that the locality is an unhealthy one.
There is no truth or reason in this.
There are certain rules governing
health that cannot be violated with
impunity. It appears that one OF
these, to wit, the use of impure
water, made SO by offensive decom-
posing animal and vegetable matter,
has been violated, and the result is
serious sickness. IF there were no
other objection to Rugby Colony
than that of health, it would be q
success.
