LEGISLATIVE EXTRA SESSION.
Interesting Interview With Hon. W. j..
WhitthOrne,


WhitthOrne,
- Knowing that this gentleman keeps
as well posted in political matters in
tennessee as does his distinguished
brother, the Little Admiral in
National affairs, a HERALD reporter
on the search for something Interest
ing, asked him about the extra session.
He replied, 1.-The Legislature i'll
January last ordered a census OF
voters of the State to be taken at once
upon which to base the apportion-
ment required to be made by the Con-
stitution every ten years. This was
done at an expense of some twelve
thousand dollars, L believe. When
completed and the bill drawn in &C
cordance with it many members
realized suddenly that few OF the
larger cities Nashville notably had
so Increased their representation that
they would control over third of the
votes in the Legislature. Investiga-
ton caused them to believe that the
census had been unfairly taken,
among other things it appearing that
while the cities had doubtless in
creased at the expense OF the rural
districts and country towns, yet the
ratio of voters to the population in
these cities and in the country was
out of all proportion. Believing their
constituents were about to be unjust
iy defrauded of their proper proper
ton of repI esentation they refused to
vote for the bill. 1t has been said
that an extra session would not alter
the situation. This is true, in my
opinion, unless a new census were
ordered, aud a recess had while 1t
was being taken, as only twenty days
are paid for Extra Sessions. This
would enable members to impress
their constituents with the Inn
portance of a full and correct census"
"WhaU will be the effect of failure
to reapportiOn?
"The best legal minds in the State,
and the most emineI at statesmen also,
disagree about this. However, mas
much as the cost of the other census
has been virtually thrown away and
where so much is at stake in business
and politics by the possibility of con-
testing acts and elections of our
Legislatures for the next ten years,
would certainly give the State the
benefit of the doubt by calling the
extra session"
"What do you think of the alleged
mistake in the registration law?"
at is q serious matter, il true, and
should be instantly and thoroughly
| Investigated by the Secretary of State,
and the people informed as to wheth-
er it was made accidentally or with
rascalIy intent, and the blame placed
where it belongs"
"What about the removal OF the
Penitentiary?
"Whenever the Representatives of
! Davidson county really wish it and
| will agree to its removal from David
son County it can be removed"

A Most Profitable Industry.

Mr.. Lloyd Cecil, of the LidscOmb
neighborhood is perhaps Maury's
largest sheep raiser. He sold his
lambs the 4th of this month, and last
Monday sold the wool to Holding d
Cochran. He protects himself from
the prowling dogs as best he can, by
carrying with him at all times con-
Venient little bottle of strychnlne III
one vest pocket and little meat to
dose it with. In one year from l43
ewes he has sold 12S lambs which
aggregated him 1914, "a. The wool he
sold from these last Monday was 633
D ,unds It % cents, amounting to
S139, 26, which added to the other sum
makes S7I4.6O, and he has 2S lambs
left. ThesA sheep he had grazed on his
wheat and pasture lands, and he had
fed them nothing else but salt.
Mr.. John SOwell, OF the same
neighbood, had 7S ewes, and from
these sold 90 lambs fer $479.S"; his
lambs averaged 9034 pounds; his
wool brought him $96,7O, making the
income from his 78 ewes aggregate
him $50, 80.
These instances show what q 9
sheep industry would be worth to the
county if the farmers would urge an
increasing warfare against the deg.
If the farmers would let Mcdowell
ana McCune and their sub treasury
fcolishness go 10 the dogs, and turn
their attention to the enactment q
laws that will protect their sheer,
they would have the sympathy ana
cooper alton of all practical, thinking
and reasonable men. The sheep in
dustry requires less capital than
any other and pays be ter;it is within
easy reach of every land owner, and
would make the poor farmer rich, if
he could protect himself from the
dogs. 1t is only n few who can buy
mules and horses and fine cows; but
any man can buy a few ewes and in
few years their increace would make
him comfortable, not to say rich.

an article headed "What Cheap Su-

from a Maryland paper aud sends us.
It is a strong presentation of the case;
it's logic is irresistible, aud those peo-

and som etimes say there is no differ

The second spelling bee given in
Stephenson's Academy under the
auspices of the Ladies Aid Society OF
Zion Church, was held last Saturday,
and the people of the neighborhood
were out in full force. There were two
matches, first from the dictionary and
second from the blue back spelllng
book. Miss Jennie Carthell won the
honors; she stood nearly a hundred
words after the others had been seated.
The ladies cleared $40 and the after
noon altogether was very enjoyable.
PerhaDS the "funniest" feature was
when the motion prevailed to have
another contest in which all present
must "play or pay" The Captains be-
gan the choosing, and as the names OF

not come prepared for the fray, were

ly Clipped in their quarters rather than
stand before those they had just before
laughed at.
