The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1895-05-31

In an article on the commercial
value Of weather forecasts published
in the Engineering Magazine, by E.
b. Dunn, he says that the value Of
life and property saved in single
great storm more than compensates
for the cost Of maintaining the Wealth
er Bureau. And doubtless he isright,
adds the New York World. The world
owes an unimaginably great debt to
Matthew Fontaine Maury, the inven-
tor of the science of meteorology.

OPEN HOSTILITY
Advocated by Senator Tillman Should
Goff Go Further.


An all-night secret session of the
Tillman-Irby executive committee was
held at Columbia, S. c., Wednesday
night, having been called to meet the
emergency caused by Judge COTS de-
cision against the constitutionality of
the registration laws, in the face of
the coming election of delegates to
the constitutional convention.
There was a strong effort to induce
Governor Evans to call an extra SEES
sion of the legislature to pass new
registration law, but he refused, stat
ing that if another were passed the
courts would declare that unconstitu-
tional also.
Senator Tillman, who was present,
declared, Notwithstanding his bitter
attack upon Judge Golf, that the con-
dition in which his decision had left
politics was the very best for his par
ty, and advocated a white primary
to nominate delegates to the conven-
ton, saying that if the conservative
democrats, his white opponents, would
not come into it, but make their fight
in the general election, "there would
be bloody campaign and hi would
break loose in Georgia"
He said that if Judge Golf went any
further in this matter he, for one,
would advocate open rebellion. This
of course, was not intended for publi-
cation and was not given out by the
committee, but the reporter overheard
it. The end of it was that a general
white primary was expected to be
held July 30th to nominate delegates
to the constitutional convention. The
election will be held late in August.
The conservatives regard this as plan
to whip them in and the revolving Till
NANTES who are making an effort to
secure honest elections. They say
there is no race issue in the state, but
the Tillman party is trying to raise
one in order to make it appear that Q
continuance of election frauds is nee.
essary to secure white supremacy.

The Florida house Of representatives
by unanimous vote passed the anti
prize fight bill Tuesday. The measure
he's already passed the senate and now
goes to Governor Mitchell, who viii
most cheerfully sign it. The measure
is drastic one. It's violation is pun

are construed as prize fighting. Sher-
ifs are empowered to enter any place
where they think it is intended to have
a contest and arrest any persons whom
they may suspect of an intention to
violate the law.

OVATION TO MISS DAVIS.

A special from Houston, Texas, says;
The train bringing Miss Winnie Davis

and several bands paraded the streets
celebrating her arrival. There is a

THE LATE SESSION.
Some Reflections on Its Work and on It's

islsture dragged along until 4:20 p. m.
March 8, wnsn both houses adjourned
without day. Only three senators,
LsedY, McTsggart and sterne, were
present in the senate when President
Troutmsn declared an adj ,urnmsnt, and
only twelve representatives wept with
Speaker L0bdell.
The senate made q most credltsbls
sffort this session, having passed a mum
Der Of bills which will stand to lts credit
on the statute books, and many others
which will find q resting place in the
senate record, because the house did
not concur. The senate ways and means

preparation measures must pass, is re
ceiving wsll-ssrned praise for it's work,

measures which the house insisted on
passing, and which were backed by
strong lobbies. Chief OF thess was the

unnecessary board. II such q board ex-
lists hesesfter il will havs to lock to the
future for its pay. The committees on
judiciary, state or airs, agriculture and
irrigation, assessment and taxation,
penal and charitable institutions, man

their good management.
By reason Of req uirements OF the con-
ssitution, our Legislatures are burdsned
with different kinds Of local measures
which ought to bs left to county COM
missionerg and city councils, and this
session was worse burdensd with these
than it's predecessors, vRcsting town

mittes to answer that part OF Governor
Lswelling's message that referred to the
legislative war OF two years ago, which
committee backed down and failed to re-
port. They failed TO pass any much
need insurance legislation. In fact, they
did nothing the corporations did mot
want done, and did everything the COR
pOrRtions wanted done, and then in the
closing hours Of the session that they
might have something to crow about they
passed bill making q very radical re-
duction in the fees OF the state printer,
we'll knowing the senate could not posi-
bly, consider it, hoping against hope that
by this move they could throw sand
into the eyes OF the people.
In the face OF all this confusion and
buncombe the PJpuiist minority stood
herOiCally, never missing an opportunity
to remind the bsassly m jority Of its
campaign pledges.
On several occasions il was necessary
to use Governor MorrilIs message as q
persusdeF. Mr.. Street read fromit with
q marked effsot in his argument against
the appropriation for q board OF gpuolic
works, When, in a burst Of sloquenCe,
the representative from sOoWlsy said he
was making no pretentiOns bscsuss he
did not come here as q Feformer, Mr..
Brown Of Pratt replied: "No, you are
like all the rest Of your crowd, you are
simply redssmer." And the curtain
was rung down, and the legislature ad-
joprnsd, and the many bills vsoatiDg
townsiles and changing peoples rRmes
will be printed and known as the session
laws Of 1895.
Members Of both houses speak highly
OF the ability and fairness of their re-
spective presiding officers, Lieutenant
Governor Troutmsn and Speaker Lob

Experiments With Potatoes.

consecutive years to test the relative
value for seed Of tuhcrs from the first
crop and from the second crop. BY early
planting of early varieties seed potatoes
wcro secured inJuly sufficiently maturcd
to produce Il second crop in the same
season. The second crop vas light, the
tubors often small, but firm and Of fine
quality. Second crop potatoes kept until
planting time, were sound, firm and
nearly FREQ from sprouts, while the or
binary crop became badly sproutcd and
Ehrivelod. In most cases second crop po-
tatocs used as seed gave a larger yield
than seed tubcrs from tho first crop,
the increase in 1890 and 1891 averaging
49, per cent. From second crop seed
potatoes the growth OF tops was largol
and the blooms moro abundant. Second
crop seed, allowed to become sprOutcti
and soft before planting, yielded only

Flat culture and hill culture gave
