Judge Reagan's Statement.

The Nashville Ameri can remarks that: a,
 Some of the deliberations made by Hon. John II. Reagan in the oration delivered before the Con. federate Veterans Association are beginning to attract the attention of the press, and are likely to prove provocation of controversy. This is particularly true of his emphatic denial that Mir. Lincoln, at the Hampton Roads confercnc ce, proposed that the United States government would pay S400, ,000,- 900 for southern slaves in order to purchase peace. The story has been told on authority seemingly reliable, and will probably be in- sisted upon, notwithstanding Mir. Reagan asserts that it is without truth.
 Tho circumstantial evidence is all Tn Mir. Reagan's favor. He is sincere and positive in wbat he says. and he was Tn q position to know all that was done in the famous conference better than any other man now living. President Lincoln and Secretary Seward were there on the part of the fed eral government, and Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell for the Confectionery. They are now all dead. There is no surviving member of Lincoln's cabinet, and Mir. Reagan, having been Tn Mir. Davis cabinet, is, of all living men, the one best qualified to speak correctly on the matter from personal experience and memory. If such proposition had been made it would, of necessity, have been considered in cabinet council at Richmond, and MT. Reagan must necessarily have known all that was said.
 This Hampton Roads confer cnce was held after the fall of Vioksburg and after tho battle ot Gettysburg. The fedorals had com- plete control of the navigation of the Mississippi. Sherman had made his march to tho sea, and Hoods raid in Tennessee had come to disastrous ending. The Con. federacy was doomed. No rational hopes could have been entertained for its success, and it is impossible to suppose that such liberal terms for ending the war would have been rejected by the Confederate government.
 Mir Reagan is certainly an emi- nent authority on this point, and his statements have the weight of history, yet it is almost certain that his statements will be chal- lenged, and it will be interesting to know what sort of plausible statement or argument can be brought to the support of this story after it has met MT. Reagan's flat contradiction.

The Mississippi River Commis. sion, which met in New York last week for the purpose of allotting tho s2,9SS.sS3 appropriated tor river improvement and levee con- struction, closed its labors Satur- day.
 Probably the most disappointed men are those from the St. Francis boards of Arkansas and Missouri. The St. Francis basin folks prayed for S150,O00, which sum coupled to the prospective issue of $500, ,00O Londs: was deemed sufficient to complete their system to the mouth ot the St. Francis river. Instead ot getting this amount, they got only S1E, 1925. The issuance of the bonds was contingent upon thls amount of appropriation from the government, hence their disap. rointment is keenly felt and 1t is apparent that the bonds cannot be issued until after the next congress sional appropriation.
 The amount apportioned is about enough to close all the crevasses, leaving little, if any, for the pur- pose of enlargement.
 The commission held that ii could not authorize the letting oi contracts for more than the eurren; appropriation, and therefore could provide for no future contracts.
 This action was also a heavy blow 10 the valley, for should il have provided for future contracts, many contractors would have been glad to get the work under such terms and moro work could have been done, thereby averting the danger of another overflow.
 This appropriation covers cnIy one year.

Complaints are often made con- ' aemning the inadequate service
 rendered by the county, in the mana cement of the two ferries sit. l. lated at the Cut Off and Madison. oh1u the St. Francls river, and also at as the condition of bridges in diff fsren' v parts of the county. These r HSsces E and improvements are ] prinio necessities, but cost money | Q maintain. Just in proportion !, .o the county's revenne, these con- geniences should be enjoyed. They should not be expected from the hasnd'of depleted treasury, or at t'seno. price of Appreciated scrip.
 Every tax payer of the county is aware of the county's financial
 condition and should not expect
 mpossiblhties. Some expect the county judge to furnish all these things and then tie his hands with
 an insufficient assessment to meet
 the demands. A farmer values his
 home at 5000 and puts 1t on the
 tax books at S250! The merehan,
 disc of the county is assessed at
 e'ghty-odd thousandl We venture
 the assertion that the houses Tn thls city can invoice that amount.
 Put the blanc where it belongs,

1t is matter of much satisfac- ton to the people of this commu- nity, and one upon which we con- graduate them, that the "Old Re- liable" L. R. & M.. Ky. has aban- doned the high rates heretofore charged passengers to Memphis, and that henceforth the charge will be the nominal sum of twenty five cents for crossing tho river. This is the cheapest rate now ex- isting for this service, and this road is to be commended for the in- novation, as well as, the evident desire to make rates as low or lower than the lowest of their competitors. The Times predicts that the reduced fares will result in large increase of business, and that the company will soon find it profitable to resume the double daily train service.

ach and forms gas, causes dizziness, nau-
sea, bad taste, sick headache, full feeling,
nervousness, irritability, etc., you have

70 pro'ecs pesasess.

This disease, now 30 prevalent In many
parts Of the country, is thus discussed by
Botanist ID. b. Halsted of New Jersey:
The trouble Is caused by fungus which
first attacks the potato leaves, causing
them to curl and become frosty" upon
the underside after which they quickly
turn brown and decay. From the leaves
stems. and II the conditions are favorable
the vines arc soon dead and leafless. The
potatoes are the last to be attacked, and
owing to their size and sOlidity, may be
considerably infested internally with the
fine filaments of the fungus before the
condition Familiarity known as the rot be-
comes evident. From this 1t follows that
the loss from the decay of the tubers
after harvesting the crop may possibly
be more than that occurring in the field.
AS most of the vines are now dead. re-
move these at once and burn before Dig
ging so that the spores they contain may
not come in contact with the tubers Re-
move the potatoes from the ground as
soon as possible. allow them to dry thor
oughly and store the sound ones where
they can be kept dry and cool and where
there Is good circulation of air. A
handful of air-slaked lime may be busted
over freshly harvested potatoes to de-
stroy adhering germs. The conditions
which favor the rot are not under human
control, so preventive measures cannot be
made absolutely effective, but knowing
the habits of the pest and that 1t does not
usually make its appearance until mid
summer. 1t follows that early varieties of
potatoes. when planted early, will usually
mature before the rot appears and thus
escape. 1t is also to be born in mind that
a loose light soil does not promote decay
like a clayey one in which the water is
held and air enters with difficulty. From
the nature of the disease, 1t Is not ex-
pected that anyone would think of at
tempting a second crop upon an infected
field until some years have elapsed.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Sept. 20.-The market vas
dull and comparatively neglected dur
ing the greater part of the day and the
marked advances were confined to a
few special instances up to the final
half hour. The bears encouraged by
the lack of activity in the trading and
the rise in money, fell upon the mar
ket and raideo it to such good effect
that few avtive stocks f-caped with
net decline less than point and Ii
q few instances much larger losses
were shown as a result of the day S
trading. The pressure to sell and the
resulting declines were especially heavy
in the Changers. Burlington which had
been pushed in the morning to a new
high record at 1924 fell to par in the
closing transactions. Chicago & Great
Western, which had shown an imita-
ton and had risen to 2Ols fell rs.
Omaha, which had been conspicuously
strong in recent markets, fell III. and
it's parent stock, Northwest, dropped
off 1A. Rock Island was the feature of
the market during the early period of
the day and had advanced two points.
The final liquidation left it still with a
fractional net gain. sg
The Vanderbilt and trunk lines, the
Coalers and the leading Industrial
shares and especialties all showed
weakness recently on account of the
yellow fever scare. was an exception
and closed with a net gain of a small
fraction.
The Changers were somewhat sensi-
tive as 40 reports of bad weather for
crops in the West. But the decisive in
fluence in the decline was sudden
stiffening of the rates for call money to
4 per cent. Quite a large amount had
beeDsoffering all day at low as 2 per
GER but in the final hour money tend
er emanded per cent. There con-
tinued to be large demand and fig
ures ranged from to per cent, loans
being made at the high figure up to the
last half hour The closing saw a de-
cline to 8 per cent.
The stiffening in the money market
came too late in the day to affect the
exchange market. Rates for sterling
exchange were somewhat harder dur
ing the day though the market was
very inactive. The posted rate for 60
days bills was advanced half a cent to
4S31s. Actual rates for demand bills
were quoted y higher and for 60 days,
bills u higher. Notable gains were
made by the Chicago & Great Western
preferred stocks. the A stock advanc-
ing 2 points and the b 1A; Evansville
& Terre Haute which gained 5. Iowa
Central preferred 2 and New Haven,
which rose S1a over the last sale to
1851. The bid price of the latter stock
has, however, advanced since the last
sale.
Railway bonds were not SO actively
dealt in today, sales amounting to ST.
100000. Prices were about steady.
United States coupons As sold at ia;
do reg. at 11lA and the SIS coupon at
114%. Bid prices for government bonds
receded fraction all around.
