ouR CAVALRY SERVICE.
It is Modelled on Lines different From
Those of Europe.

LightnesS and rapidty of action is
the chief advantage of the cavalry.
70 obtain this nearly everything else
is made subservient. The American
cavalry, while it lacks the spectacular
appearance OF European horse. Is far
ahead in all of the requirements of
actual warfare. Our cavalrymen are
not handicapped with nickel plated
wash basins on their neuds. while
brightly dyed cowtails aud gayly paint
ed straps dangle round themselves and
their chargers. Gewagaws are all very
well on review and certainly look very
fine in pictures, hut fifty years of con
tinuous Indian lighting have taught
our horsem just what they need in
their business, and they have that and
nothing more.
The result of all this Hainlng and
experimenting with actual war for the
trial. has developed our cavalry in
practice to he n highly useful arm of
the service, while tacticians of English
and continental armies have been
gradually coming to believe that the
Improvement in small arms had made
cavalry a thing of the pasta decay
ing branch of the military tree
The American cavalry IL planned on
a different line from that of any other
civilized nation. The horsemen of
other armies are lineal descendants of
the old knight in armor. who weighted
himself and his horse with sheet-iron
until mobility was out of the ques:
ton. over this armor were waving
ribbons and blazoned designs. so that
in Il chance medley friends might
know who the visor concealed.
The ribbons and the paint are still
retained on the continent. and that
was why the military writer's said that
the cavalry was an expiring arm of
the service.
Our troopers have modelled on differ
eut lines. The Indian. mounted naked
upon his bare-backed pony. circling
round and round his prey like the soar
ing hawk, tireless as the wind because
unfreighted and unhampered that is
the model which the American has be-
fore him. and necessity has compelled
that the Indian he met by n man on
an equal footing.
The rough riders have been assumed
to be type more skilled in American
riding than the regular cavalry. But
one cannot see the Preside troopers
at their drill without feeling that as
far as the yellow trimmed warriors
go the army is not hampered by any
restraining influence.
The school of riding in use by the
troopers is distinctly Mexican. The
horse is. in the first place. free from
superfiuous trappings. He is taught
to be guided merely by the touch of
the rein on one side of his neck. There
is but one pair of reins, and these are
held in one hand.
This is n strong contrast when COM

GOT AHEAD OF PECK.
The Governor of Wisconsin Scores Point
on the Ex-Governor.


on the Ex-Governor.
This Is what governor of Wiscon-
sin said to an ex-governor OF Wiscon-
sin. A few years ago Gov Upham in
vited his recently defeated competi-
tor, the distinguished leader OF Wis
consin democracy, ex-Gov. George w.
Peck, to accompany him on a visit to
the encampment of the Wisconsin
state militia. Mr.. Peck accepted. On
the way to the camp the pair, who
have always been boon companions
off the campaign stump, passed the
time in cracking jokes at each others
expense. Mr.. Peck, who, as everybody
knows, is no poor hand at a quip, had
a shade the best OF It, Upon the ar
rival of the eminent personages at tho
camp no one seemed to take cogniz-
ance of their presence. Mr.. Peck was
annoyed at the evident lack of cour-
tesy to the chief executive of the great
state of Wisconsin, and addressing
him, said: "Upham, / wonder how
long it takes these fellows to smell a
governor" THAT depends upon how
long he's been dead, George" softly re-
marked the governor, with a faraway
look in his eyes.

DEATH PENALTY.
Will Morrison to Hang for Muf.
der of COffman.
Judge Held That the Facts Did
Not Warrant Mitigating
circumstances.

The jury in the case of Will Nor
rison, formerly of Elmo, this coun-
ty, on trial at Springfield, Tenn,
for the killing of w. Douglass Coff-
man, an L. g. N. operator at Cedar
Hill, Tenn, whose home was at
Slaughterville, Ky, returned q ver-
dict of guilty of murder in the first
degree; with mitigating circum-
stances, Judge Taylor overruled
the motion for new trial in the
case and sentenced him to be
hanged on Aug, 10.
The verdict of the jury shifted the
responsibility Of the court to capi-
tai punishment or life Imprisonment.
The Judge held that the facts did
not warrant mitigating circumstan-
ces. An appeal to the Supreme
Court was prayed for and granted.
Morrison shot and instantly
killed Coffman in Springfield De-
cember last IN the rear part of
Kiger's store, and the trial was set
for the February term, but was
continued until the present term.
Morrison has been in jail at Nash
Vile for several months, having been
carried there for safe-keeping
for fear of mob-violence, and during
his stay there he came near max
ing his escape by saving out, but
was caught just in time to keep
him safe behind the bars.
Morrison was represented by
Messrs. ]. B. Allensworth, of this
city, and A. E.. Garner and H. C.
Crunk, of Springfield. Hon. w. E..
Bourland, of Dixon KY, assisted
Attorney-General H. c. Carter in
representing the State.
The prisoner having attempted
to gain his liberty once before, the
Sheriff considers him safer in Nash
Vile, and as he would have to carry
him to the Supreme Court later any
way, he was taken back to Nash
vile Saturday night for safe-keep
ing.
Morrison is a son of the late John
D. Morrison, is IS years old and
moved to Robertson county, Tenn,
about year ago, locating near
Springfield. He has family.
Douglass Coffman, his victim, had
been in the employ of the L. g. N.
road as operator for several years
and was an exceedingly popular
young man.
The Springfield News, in sum-
ming up the speeches made in the
case has the following concerning
Mr.. ], B Allensworth' s effort:
"Mr. Bourland was followed by
Mr.. Allensworth for the defense.
Mr.. AlleHswcrth is a good speaker

could have been made with the ev-
idence he had. Mr.. Allensworth

FINE IMPRESSION.
Hon. Jas. D. Black Makes a Fine
Speech.
Large Crowd Present And Gener.
Gus Applause Given The
Speaker.

Hon. Jas. D. Black, of Knox
county, Democratic candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination. spoke
at the Court House at 1:30 yester-
day afternoon to an audience of 500
people. ThSpeaker was introduc-
ed by Or. J. D. Clardy and from
the very start had the large crowd
with him.
He began with an eloquent plea
for harmony and his remarks
elected applause from Democrats
Of all factions.
He made few personal referen-
ces to himself, saying he was a ma
tive Of Knox county and had always
been a staunch Democrat in a dis
trict overwhelmingly Republican
and on one occasion defeated a Re-
publican for the Legislature in
Knox and Whitley counties, over
coming a majority of $500. If nomi-
mated for Governor he said he would
bring out to the polls many dis
couraged Democrats who rarely
ever voted and would get many
hundreds of Republican voters in
that section. We need these voters.
Let us try to win the silent and the
dissatisfied voters. Let us pull to-
gether and Kentucky will be safely
Democratic.
He discussed the Republican
charges of fraud and said the Re
publican party was a party o
fraud, that it stole the Presidency
in 1876 and stole Kentucky in 1896
He said he was instructed for an
other candidate last year, but after
Goebel was nominated he went al
over his district with him and ad,
vocated his election and also the
election law because he, believed il
to be better law than the old one
under which frauds had been per-
petrated by Republicans in his
district While he favored it he
was willing to amend it to make it
non-partisan and fair alike to all.
His remarks on this subject were
most favorably received. He told
several good anecdotes and kept
the audience in a good humor
throughout.
His denunciation of the military
intimidation of Bradley and the
lawlessness of Tay lor was very Sc
we're and when he said that the
courts from the lowest to the high
est had decided that the Democrats
were right he brought down the
house.
He made an eloquent plea for the
majesty OF the law and called upon
those of all parties to join with the
Democrats IN uphelding the law.
He discussed state issues briefly
and closed by giving some strong
reasons why his section of the state
should be given the nomination for
Governor. He said it would en-
courage the mountain Democrats
and create local pride that would
be worth thousands of votes to the
ticket
He promised to meet any Repub-
llean who might be nominated
him and prove to those who
honored him that he " as a worthy
standard bearer
Judge Blacks speech was a
great hit. Nothing but words of
were heard

ton.

hapo 10 most wonderful plant for
hogs. 1t can be eown from early
spring to the first OF August In eigbt
weeks after the early sowing it win
no 10 turn in 10. and then you can have
rape for pasture till into December.
writes contributor to Michigan Farm
er. Hogs do not need ria gs in their
noses while feeding on rape. or at
ieast this is my experience. Very little
roofing has been done all summer for
us In our rape fields. It is most ex-
cellent to turn brood sows into after
weaving the pigs No attention need
be given to them all summer only to
see that they have shade and water.
Inc rape is composed of SO much wa
ter that it almost furnishes enough
water We have kept fourteen large
brood sows in a patch OF an acre and
half ever since the spring pigs were
weaned and they have been unable TO
keep 1t eaten down. They were poor
when turned in and they thrived right
along all summer without anything but
rape and water. One SOW raised five
nice pigs with no feed but rape We
now have thirty three brood sows in
this patch sleeking up the last rape of
the season. 1t is best to have two or
three small lots sown, so that hogs can
be changed from one TO the other.
Don't feed it off too close while the
weather is warm and the ground too
dry, for it won't come on very salts
factorily afterwards.
We nearly killed one patch in that
way this last summer. 1t should be
six or eight inches high before turning
into. II turned into when too small,
before it has sufficient root, the hogs
will pull good deal Of it up. If your
land is rich and free from weeds it
will be best sown broadcast at five
! pounds of seed to the acre. A good way
to do is to pillow the ground early and
| drag it frequently till ready to SOW
/ This will make a fine, firm seed bed
and rid the ground OF weeds that
would otherwise bother. 1t is claimed,
I however, that better results can be had
by drilling in rows about 20 inches
apart and cultivating. However this
may be, it would take great deal
more work and trouble. don't see
how much more could grow on the land
than did for me sown broadcast. One
man told me that his hogs would mol
eat it. l must say that ne either sowed
the wrong kind of rape or he had some
very peculiar hogs. Our hogs seemed
to like it better than clover, for they
had both clover and rape to run into
at the same time, and they could be
seen most in the rape. Rape, if prop
erly sown and properly pastured, viii
certainly solve the problem of cheaI
pork, for spring pigs, continually KEEP
in it from weaving time till December
will make good sized hogs with yer!
