-DestroyIng the oxeye DaIsy

The oxeye daisy easily disseminates
itself wherever farming is neglected. 1t
can be kept from farms, however, if
precaution is exercised. c. S. Murkland
says he has seen several farms in New
Hampshire that are completely sur
rounded with this weed. but are kept
absolutely free from it. During the
past few years he has had considera BILE
experience in endeayoring to overcome
this pest. One method of keeping it
from spreading commonly practiced is
to cut the hay early and thus avoid
the maturing Of the seeds In order to
ascertain just how elastic this period
might be. in July. 1897, a number of
daisy blossoms were collected for study.
The date of the opening Of each blossom
was noted. and specimens were taken
at various periods from this time on.
These observations lead to the belief
that it takes at least II days for seed
maturity Of the daisy after its first
bloss0ming.

NEGRO VITALITY.

Want Their Risk.

The Best Insurance Companies Don't
Want Their Risk.
A lawsuit has been commenced by
colored citizen of Brooklyn
borough against a leading life insur-
ance company of Newark, which
discloses particulars of considerable
interest connected with certain dis
examinations made in the matter Of
life Insurance..
Principal among these is the fact
that risks on persons of African des-
cent will not, if they can be evaded =,
be accepted at the New York life
insurance offices. Life insurance
companies, no more than any other
commercial concern, can allow pref
udice or sentiment to affect their
method of doing business. They
are run for profit. If there were a
profit in making general the practice
of insuring members of the colored
race, they would issue policies as
readily as to white persons in all
cases where the health of the insured
justified.
II the vital statistics of the negro
race shown in the report of the Mayor
of Savannah are borne out by the
reports from other cities where the
colored population is large, life in
surance companies have good bust
ness reasons for their race discrimi-
nations.
His report covers the period of the
sixteen consecutive years ending
with 1896 and shows that the NOR.
tdlity of the cOlOred inhabitants OF
that city has been 100 per cent in ex-
cess of the mortality of its white

day in March 1900; this gives another
week to Lawrence for this March
term, and as the regular term begins
in Lawrence on the 3rd Monday in
March, this will give two weeks
court without break.
1t will be remembered, however,
that court will only be opened on the
3rd Monday in November 1899, at
Lawrcnceburg, for the purpose OF
appointing this special term, and
will be Immediately adjourned, as
above set out, for the court in Maury

pointed for Lawrence to begin on
the End Monday in July 1900; and as
the regular term begins on 3rd Mon
day in same month it will give 6
two weeks uninterrupted court in
Lawrence for the July term 1900
and similar arrangements can easily
be made after that time.

A CARD FROM
JUDGE HOLDING
Attempting to Cure the
Defects of the Law.
NEW SCHEDULE FOR THE COURTS.
A Card of Especial Interest to the Bar
the Court Officials, and all Litigants,
and of General Importance.

The recent changes in the times of
holding the courts in the Ninth
Judicial Circuit, made by the last
Legislature, and the addition of
Williamson county to this circuit,
has produced some embarrassing con-
fiicts in the courts to be held for the
first few months after September
next. And, under the new law,
sufficient time is not allowed for the
courts of Giles and Lawrence. 1t is
hoped that the following arrange
ment will remedy these troubles.
And again, by reason of the con-
flict in the old and new law the
court for Maury County is only
allowed one week for the November
term (2nd Monday, but by means of
the following arrangement Maury
will have three weeks, instead of
one, for the November term.
The conflicts in the courts are as
follows:
First Monday in September, Har-
din and Williamson.
Second Monday in October, Har-
din and Giles.
First Monday in November, Lewis
and Wayne.
And the November term in Maury
conflicts with the November term in
Giles and the November term in
Lawrence.
Williamson and Hardin are ur-
fortunately situated. Williamson
missed her May term ard Hardin
missed her March term, consequent
ly both of these courts must be held
on 1st Monday in September next
| will hold the court in Hardin
county on the lst Monday in Sep,
tember, and special Judge will have
to be elected by the bar at franklin
to hold the court for Williamson
unles some other regular Judge car
find time to hold this court.
In case of the other conflicts the
times are so arranged that court car
be adjourned in one place to make
way for the other without any seri
Gus Inconvenience to business, al
will be seen by the following ar
rangement:
Beginning with the 1st Monday il
September the courts will be helC
as follows:
First Monday in September, il
Hardin county, by regular judge
and on lst Monday in Septembe
court will also be held in William
son county by special Judge. Th'
other courts will be held by tn,
regular Judge.
Third Monday in September il
Wayne.
Fourth Monday in September il

son COMMANDS FATHER.
$ tory of the Fitness of Things Prom the
Colorado Regiment.

STORY OF ihe Fltness OF Ihings FROM the
Colorado Regiment.
Out of the hurry and hustle Of the
war there has come one of the most
remarkable cases of the reversal of
family authority ever known to
military men. A son is commits
stoned officer in regiment, while
, the father is u private in the same
regiment. The son gives the father
commands; the father executes the
orders; he touches his hat when he
passes by his boy during duty. On
the rolls of the first Colorado in
fantry appear the names of Ben
Lear, second lieutenant, aged nine
teen, and benjamin. Lear, Sr., pri-
vate, aged forty. four. 1t is a stan d.
ing joke in the officers mess that If
the old man gets "A superior post
he intends to take it out of the
youngsters hide. But this joke has
no foundation. The father is proud
of the success of his son and never
tires of boasting to his fellow pri-
Yates.
Lieut.. Lear is fine specimen of
young American soldier. He has
all the good qualities that are known
as NV Western." He has go and push
and grit, very intelligent mind and
an aptness for his work. From nn-
der his black eyebrows glance pair
of keen dark eyes that seem older
than the rest of him. War ages o
mans intellect rapidly, and Ben
Lear, Jr., has grown in eXperien ce
quickly. He laughed when asked
about the family relations in the
regiment.
"WAy, my dear fellow" he eX-
claimed, don't you know that in
regiment there are no family re la
tions? Here we are all officers or
privates or bandmen, aud that ends
the whole business. But, seriously,
the curious relations which l am
bound to maintain with my own
father are ridiculous, and If he did
not have a fine sense of humor him
self they would be well night insup-
portable. He comes in here with a
message, for instance, and, stopping
at the door, he stands at salute until
l have time or am in a disposition
to receive him by acknowledging his
salute. Then he does the goosestep
and comes into my tent, where he
must stand attention until the bust
ness iS finished; then he must salute
again before he goes out. Altogether
it is laughable, bee lu5e l am q
stickler for discipline, even though
it does involve my own father.
J When it is fathers turn TO carry
, wood, draw rations, or do police
duty it is my task to issue these or
ders to the old gentleman, and he
touches his cap and replies, Yes,
sir, as respectfully as you please.
l When the call for volunteers came I
: was first sergeant in the Colorado
national guard, and volunteered. |
went with my company to Denver
| and we were mustered in. j kept
: my old rank of first sergeant in the
9 first Colorado infantry.
g when the regiment was recruit
, ing father came to headquarters and
f wanted to enlist. l persuaded him
2 not to join, and when L left l was
) sure that father would stay at home,
= where he was badly needed on his
paper. But when the recruiting

INSANE KINGS ROOM.
A Million Dollars Worth of stuff In
Ludwig's Bedchamber.

A Million Dollars Worth of tuff in
Ludwig's Bedchamber.
Half way between Munich and
Salzburg is the third castle, Herren-
chiemsee, built by Ludwig II. This
great structure is incomplete, for
tunately for already overtaXed
Bavaria, for no one could sur mise
what it's cost would have been. One
room alone, the renowned bed
chamber, could not be duplicated
for less than 81 600 600. The vaulted
ceiling is one great allegOrical paint
ing, the rounded cornice is covered
with a score Of richly framed mural
paintings, the walls are panels of
hammered gold Of intricate designs,
and even the floor is of marvellous
pattern.
The only suggestion of the purpose
of this wonderful room is the $50
bed, with its canopy more magnifi-
cent than any that covers a regal
throne. In the gorgeous dining
room he had erected a disappe airing
table, which dropped through the
floor when course was tinis he'd,
and in its place came up another, set
and ser we'd. He desired this SO that
servants would be unnecessary in
the room, and the secret state mat
ters could be discussed in safety.
Many people sought in vain to see
the famous room at Herrench h lem
see. Once an actress pleased Lud-
wig so much by her recitation that
she thought 1t an oppOrtune nom ent
to request permission to see his
most poetic bedchamber.' She was
coolly dismissed for her effrOntery,
and the servants were ordered to
fumigate the room in which she had
been received.-Ladies' Home Jour-
nal.

IN Paris, France, last Sunday, the
anarchists created scenes of the
widest disorder known in that city
since the Commune. In response to
appeals by two anarchist or revolu-
tionary organs, big anarchist meet
ing was held in the afternoon.
Speeches of the leaders were so
revolutionary that the police
arrested the speakers. The crowd
then began marching the streets,
smashing windows of churches, de-
stroying altars aud images and 9TH
er contents of the churches, In the
meantime fighting with the police
seriously wounding several of them
The disorders were repeated at
night, several more churches being

being completely wrecked and
