How Peyton Caroway Beat the African
Law.

The sketch of Peyton CarOway,
the old darkey who bought his free
dom some forty years ago, and then
sued his mistress for selling him, an
unsound negro, given by the LEAF
CHRONICLE lately, has been the sub
iect of much comment and has
brought out another interesting chap
ter in the old negrO's history.
1t appears from the papers in the
case that Mrs. Chiffon retained a lien
on Peyton for the second payment,
$500. After this was paid the title
was perfect in himself Under the
then existing law, freed slaves were
to be sent to Africa. PeytOn ap
peared before ThOS. b. MunfOrd,
then clerk and master of the Chan
Gerry court, and set up proof that he
was afflicted with tumOr and un
able, physically, to make the trip
to Africa. w. b. Settle, j. 6. Horn
berger and w. A. Quarles were wit,
nesses to his i'll health and unsound
ness. The other plea was that he
was a slave owner, having a bill of
sale of himself, ard had a right to
live, own and enjoy the use of his
property in a slave State, and the
clerk and master issued the proper
permit for him to remain. Follow
ing this he brought suit against Mrs.
Chiffon for selling him, an unsound
negro. Peyton also bought one of
his children and finished paying for
the child Just before the war broke
out.
Joseph Chiffon, his former master,
once owned the Franklin House,
KEEP hotel and carried on the farm on
the south side known as the johns
place, now owned by j. T. Johnson.
He lived to be a very old man. He
was the grandfather of w. b. Settle,
and nursed W. A. Settles oldest
child, which was his great, great,
grand child-the fifth generation.

A Commercial Club For olarksville.

GAINESVILLE needs TO get new move
on her. 1t will not pay to rest on
what has been accomplished, and it
is time to mend the gait and get up
better speed, or people will forget
that this is an enterprising town,
The Board of Trade serves well in
its place, but it is looked upon as the
old mems organization, and the
young men are slow to put their
hands to the work. Moreover a bet
ter system is needed for collecting
money to carry out the plans needful
for "A Ivancement in the present fast
age. All important towns in the
State are organizing commercial
clubs, which now become a necessity
to insure the State representation
in the Worlds Fair, and GAINESVILLE
can't afford to be left behind in a
move Of this kind. She has more to
exhibit in the way of raw material
than any other town in the State and
more inducements to offer capital and
enterprise. 1t will require active,
cons ant and efficient work to accom-
plish this object, and will require the
use of some money and the activity
of willing workers
Besides this, a strong organization
of active, willing workers is needed
to push enterprises in every direc-
tion-something to engage the atten-
ton Of the young men and men of
all ages, with place for regular
meetings, where they can come to-
gether often and discuss measures
and ways and means. GAINESVILLE
owes much of her prosperity to the
work of the Board of Trade that was
organized twenty years ago 1t was
this that put new life in our people
and set every man to work for the
upbuilding of the city. Many Of the
active men of that day have in vari'
Gus ways passed out, and now times
have changed, which makes new
organization needful. What say the
business men and young men Of the
city to this move? Let us have a
commercial club, with a place for
monthly or weekly meetings, sys-
tenn for collecting funds monthly tC
meet the expenses and do the neces'
sary advertising for the city.

Foreign CentenarInns.

About fifty years ago British physi.
clan maintained that it must be consid-
cred questionable if the existence of
ccntenarians had ever been established
by sufficient proofs. Modern statistics
have definitely removed that doubt.
According to the census of 1890 Prussia
had u year ago eighty-six centenarians,
including twenty-three persons who
had attained an age of 1O5 years and up
ward. In Austria Including hungary
1913 persons had passed their Tooth
year; in France, 70; in Russia, EOS. The
largest number of Prussian centenarians
are found in Silcsia and in the Baltic
province, while in Russia longevity
seems to increase southeast of Moscow,
n circumstance due either to the free
and easy life, comparatively speaking,
of the southern Cossacks, or to the
salubrity of the Caucasian highlands,
with their large percentage of abstincnt
Mussulmans.

Various Tropical Countries.
1t is n Mexican orchid, with long,
climbing stems and thick, Hcshy leaves,

earliest European travellers in Mexico.
found the vanilla used rs acondilnent'
with chocolate. The Spaniards intro
duced it into Europe, and the first ac-
count of it appeared as long ago as 1GO5,
and was published by Clusius in his
''ESorticorum Libri," who received d
specimen from Morgan, the apothecary
of Queen Eliza beth. Plumber called the
plant vanilla, adopting the name used
in Mexico by the Spaniarls (the dimin-
utive of the Spanish vaina, pod)
Toward the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury the vanilla reached France by the
way of Spain, and was used to flavor
chocolate and to perfume tobacco. In
England it was not until after the idea
OF its medicinal value was exploded that
1T came into general use in cooking
The supply of vanilla, which is obtained
from the fruit or seed-pod, was origin
ally derived from Mexico. but of late
years much attention has been given to
cultivating this plant in other parts of
the tropics, and it is now produced in
Bourbon, Java, Mauritius and Central
America in large quantities.
Shoots about three feet long, having
been fastened to trees, and scarcely
touching the ground, soon strike root
on to the bark and form plants, which
commence to produce fruit in three
years and remain productive thirty or
forty. The fertilization of the flower is
naturally brought about by insect
agency. Morrcn. the director of the
botanical garden Of Liegc, showed in
1887 that it might be efficiently per-
formed by man. since when the produc-
ton of the pods has been successfully
carried on in all tropical countries with
out the aid of insects. Even in Euro
pean forcing-houscs the plant produces
fruits OF full size which for aroma bear
comparison with those of Mexico. In
vanilla plantations the pods are not
allowed to arrive at complete maturity,
and are gathered when the green color
begins to change. According to the
statements of De Vriesc they are dried
by rather circuitous process; namely,
by exposing them to heat alternately
uncovered and wrapped in wooden
cloths. whereby they arc artificially
ripened and acquire their ultimate nro-
ma and dark hue.
