Esquires j. H. Courtney, r. n.
Moore and G. N. McKennon were
appointed as a committee to investl-
gate and look into the propriety of
having fire proof vaults put in the
court house to protect the public
records.
The court ordered that the road
commissioners of the 7th and 8th dis
tricts take charge f the southern
portion of the Pulaski pike, in the
7th and 9Th districts, which had been
abandoned by Horace Rainey.
The introduction of motion to
appoint committee to look into the
matter of building new court house,
ELECTED great deal of discussion
among the 'squires. The motion was
finally lost by vote 30 to 8.
The argument made by those fa-
voring the building of new court
house was that the county was in a
| better condition now than it had
been in years; the report OF the rev.
enue commissioners showed a cash
| balance on hand of about S25 600,
over aud above all Indebtedness, and
/ the chances were in favor OF a con-
/ tinued improvement in the finances.
/ 1t was estimated that the new struc-
ture would cost something like $4,000
outside of the material that could be
used from the old court house and
old Jail. The majority of the mag
istrates, however, did not care to
incur such a heavy expense upon the
taxpayers, and consequently the
motion was voted down.
The district line between the lst
aud 18th districts was changed 80 a
to include the lands of Thomas
Holmes in the 18th district, aud the
line between the Sd and 4th districts
was changed 80 as TO include tbs
lands Of Alexander Masser In the It'll
district.
Ii was ordered that the l1th dis
trict road case be dismissed.
The court then adjourned.

Gen. Otis Criticised.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The plain
statement of facts in the cablegram
from Manila this morning setting
forth the official and non official
view of the military situation in the
Philippines has demonstrated to the
officials the discouraging character
of affairs in the archipelago.
Officially an admission to this ef
feet will not be made; unOfficially
members of the administration do
not disguise the prevailing unfortu-
nate state of affairs, and the prOba-
bllity that the war will not be ended
until, like the Indian tribes, many
of the insurgents are eXterminated
and others whipped into submission.
In view of this opinion, amazement
is expressed at the failure of the ad-
ministration to provide Gen. Otis
with such a force that he will be
able to sweep the island of the rebels
and hold the natives in subsection ;
| but explanation is made that Gen,
Otis declares that 10000 effective
men are all he wants, and relying on
| Gen. Otis, the president, ii Is stated,
does not care to send him men
whose presence might embarrass
/ him and his operations.
! From Secretary Alger | obtained
/ to-day this expression which may
be accepted as the official view oi
/ the situation: LAS long as Maj
Gen. Otis is in command of the mill
tary forces in the Philippines, aud
J have no idea that he will be reliev
ed, he is the man to determine the
number of men he should have to
crush the insurrection. The presi'
dent stands ready TO give him every
man, every supply, every piece o.
equipment he asks for. He has ask
ed for 10000 effective men and they
will be given him.
"All the information we nave re-
ceived from Gen. Otis has beef
given to the press. Anybody's opin
ion on the situation is as good a.
mine. To me the condition of af
fairs is satisfactory

= disposition to liken the situation
in Luzon To siege, the American
troops in Manila being the besieged
while the insurgents surrounding
the city are the besiegers. The
siege is not effective because of the
ability Of the Americans to make
sorties, but they are always com
PEELED to return to their base. And
even though the Tagals might be
subdued, it Is pointed out that there
are other tribes in Luzon alone
which are just as desirous of free.

the American troops will have to
subdue before peace and order are

insurrectiOn made in the Herald this

TENNESSEE RED CEDAR.
How Many Magnificent Forests Were
Wasted.

How Many Magnificent Forests Were
Wasted.
AS is we'll known to all old. time
Tennessee lumbermen, Middle Ten.
nessee once contained vast forests of
the finest red cedar (Juniperus Vir.
ginians) that ever grew anywhere.
These forests covered greater por-
tion of the counties of Wilson, Ruth
erford, Bedford, Marshall. a part of
Maury, Franklin, Coffee, White, and
there were scattered groves IN all
the counties In the upland limestone
region. There were very few decidu.
Gus trees and very little underground
in these original cedar forests some
were very tall, straight, and, COM
pared to the cedar lumber of the
present, were free of knots. These
forests constituted a magnificent
natural heritage, but it was squan-
dered most recklessly by the early
settlers. The work of active depuda-
ton began about seventy years ago.
Among the largest operators were
Hiram brennan, Kirkpatrick,
Willis Simmons, John Spickard and
several others whose names are for
gotten. Some of these people did
business in shipping cedar to the
amount of d million dollars year,
and not one of them at the close of
his career had anything to show for
his labor except some hundreds of
acres of land that was almost worth.
less except for grazing purposes.
III !
tloated to points in Louisiana in the
shape of round poles for piliug, hewn
sticks for wharve5 and piers, and in
railroad crossties. The largest oper
ator, H. brennan, made speciality
of shipping ties. His point of dis
tribution was Bayou Sara, La. About
the only thing Tennessee red cedar
is totally untitled for is railroad
crosstie. 1t splits very easily, will
not hold spike, and is not durable
on the surface of moist ground. One
heart cypress tie is worth four of red
cedar, and yellow heart pine tie is
worth three; and yet, with cypress
aud pitch pine in the greatest abun-
dance, all the first constructed rail
roads in the Gulf States were equip
pOu W lOli SCudI blCS' n
great deal of the timber had been
cut before the mistake was discov
cred, and then the trade dropped of
suddenly. That was about 1859.
About 1866 another boom in red
cedar began, and continues until the
present in small way. This was
for sawed stuff mostly-as boards
and dimensions from Ok inches t1
l2Xl2 inches-though there was
and is, "A strong demand for fence
posts, vineyard stakes and poles
Many small sawmills were operated
in the cedar brakes. If there is any
such thing as the "total exhaustion
of any given timber, Tennessee red
cedar comes under that category
While it is admitted that the cedar
is "eXhau5ted it is astonishing bow
much of it still finds its way to mar
keT. 1T is mostly in the shape o
telegraph and telephone poles, sawr
squares, hewn fence posts and logs
for the wOodenware factories. Very
little board lumber is made.
The men who made most money
out of the cedar trade began opera
tions after all the best of the timbe
had been cut off, and few Of then
are still in the business Southern
