RACING IN THE SOUTH.

Since Nashville, Tenn, ceased, some years ago. to give an annual race meet ing for harness horses, that branch of sport has made no great progress in the South. Atlanta, Birmingham, and few other cities have held meetings of fair proportions, but none of them have risen to the first rank, their pro- motors very wisely believing that with care they can be grown to become i'm portant yearly events, even though their beginning was modest. In conse- quence Lexington, Ky, has been the only Southern city to hold an annual harness meeting of national import ance. This year Memphis makes it's debut and will have a racing carnival October 21 to 26 inclusive that promises to be one of the very greatest ever held. A new mile track. with mouern buildings of every sort has been built, at total cost of $25O,OOO, and experts say it is the most complete plant in the world, devoted entirely to trotting and pacing For the inaugural meeting the sum of $35, ,000 will be distributed in stakes and purses. Not far from 800 of the best horses in training have been entered for the various races They come from almost every State in the Union, including far-off California. New England, New York and Pennsylvania will be repre- sented. There will be no lack of great horses, noted drivers and prominent owners, and the meeting will mark a new era in the history of harness rac- ing in Tennessee, State that gave to the world the first two-minute pacer. Star Pointer, 1:59H, and the master relnsman, Edward F. Geers, who has driven no less than four horses to worlds records, and whose achieve ments on the turf this year have fur nlshed sensational climax to his al- ready eventful history. It is the in- tentlon to make the annual meeting at Memphis, including the one of this year, as good as the best. and the result will undoubtedly be a revival in the breeding interests that will be worth thousands of dollars to the people of Tennessee.

Pulling Teeth With the Fingers.

We learn from the Medical News that Dr. Charles E. Coughlin of Indianapolis, has discarded the forceps In pulling teeth and has adopted the primitive rule of the Chinese by using the index finger for the purpose. He believes that the sight of the forceps constitutes the narrowing part of tooth pulling and that many nervous per. sons are almost as shocked at the sight or the instrument as they would be if cooked revolver were presented at their heads. He can take out the most firmly rooted double tooth in a few seconds, and that without causing pain comparatively speaking. 'It is all done with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand" he declares. "and does not require any great strength. for 1t is not performed by main force. .' he learned the art from a Chinese practltioner.-The Druggists Cir:u. lar.

A young man who works in a Chest nut street store, bought a diamond ring some time ago. He was to pay for 1t on the installment plan, s15 a month. He made the first payment and the diamond was delivered to him, At the end of the first month the col. lector came around again. The young man was broke. Finally he went 10 paWnbroker, borrowed $15 on the ring and paid the pawnbroker. Tn three weeks he got the ring out by paying $1650. Then in another week the collector came around again. Once more the ring was pawned. Then 1t became a struggle for the young man to get the ring out in time to pawn if again, but he did. It has now been four months since the diamond was purchased. The young man is paving double interest and the pawnbroker IS custodian of the ring.-Philadelphia Times.

full major (aged 22) decided to fit himself as lawyer. He had been urged to apply for commission in the regular army, but his tastes and predilections were those of man of peace. He entered the office of Judge Charles E. Gidden at Poland, and made good progress in the study of law. After year and half's work he went to Albany, N. Y, where he completed his legal studies. He was admitted to the bar in 1867, and opened law office at Canton.

 It was the centennial year that Nal Mckinley made his entrance into na- tional politics. In 1876 he declared himself candidate for. the republican nomination for congress in his district and he received the nomination over three opponents on the first ballot. He was not only nominated but elected, which feat he repeated half a dozen

-Gentiesnan, Soldier, Lawyer and Statesman

The ancestry of William Mckinley can be traced back to the old Scotch Covenanters of three centuries ago. During the reign of Charles II. the iamlly migrated to the north of Ire land. From the north of Ireland about the year 1740 two Mckinley brothers came to this country. One of these brothers, James, was the great-great-grandfather of the late president. His sen David Mckinley was revolutionary hero, and a Jef- fersonlan democrat. He died in the year 1S40. Through this David Me kinley's wife, Hannah c. Rose, the English Puritan stock became min gled with the Scotch Covenanter stock in President McKinley's blood. The grandfather of Hannah c. Rose was an English Puritan leader who settled in Pennsylvania, and who had somewhat to do with the government or that colony. McKinley's grandfa-

ther in 1909 moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio. William Mckinley, ST., was born in Pennsylvania in 1907.
 
 William Mckinley was a seventh son. There were eight other chill dren in the family He was born at Niles, Trumbull county, O., January 29, 1S43. From this town, then little village of iron-workers, the family moved to Poland, O., on the western reserve, for the better education of the children. It had been his moth CTS ambition, as we'll as his own that he receive thorough college ed ucation. He attended the academy at Poland, and from there went to the Allegheny college at Meadville, Pa. III health took him home in his junior year. The next winter he spent teaching in district school for salary of $25 and his board.
 
 At the outbreak of the civil war young Mckinley enlisted as a private in the Twenty-third Ohio infantry. He served under men who afterward became well known to the nation. His first colonel was Rosecrans, later the famous major general. Stanley Matthews, who achieved distinction

times, representing the people of Stark and the surrounding counties of Ohio in congress for the II years from 1876 to 1890.
 During that period the democrats gerrymandered the district three times in attempts to drive him out of congress, in which he was making him. self famous. The first two attempts failed. but the last in 1890 did not. A popular candidate was nominated by the democrats in the person of ex- Lieut.. Gov. Warwick Mckinley was finally defeated by the slender major ity of 363 votes. This defeat followed closely after the passage of the Me- Kinley bill, the high tariff measure to which Maj. Mckinley had given his name and for which he stood as spon. sor on account of his position in con- gress as chairman of the committee of ways and means and the leader of the republican majority in the house. Astute politicians predicted the com- plete political extinction of Mckinley after his defeat in 1890. Not only had he gone down in the wreck, but his party's majority in the lower house of congress had followed its leader. The whole battle had been fought and lost on the issue of the Mckinley bill. The decision of the people was thought by politicians and by the people them selves to be final.
 Yet the following year he was elected governor of Ohio, and two years later was reelected. Almost before his term as governor of Ohio had expired he was nominated and elected to the highest office the people of this country have within their power to bestow.
 The second term of Mckinley as gov. ernor of Ohio marked the crystalliza- tion of the ointment of his admirers all over the country that he be made the republican nominee for president in 1896.
 
 The startling events of his first term, the blowing up of the Maine, the Span ish war and our quick and decisive vic- tory, the driving of the Spaniards out of Cuba and our promise to liberate that much-abused island and place it among the republics of the western neHlSp pnere, our annexation or Porto Rico, the Hawaiian islands and the Philippines, are all part of contempo- raneous history. When MT. McKin- ley's term neared it's close last year such deep hold had he secured upon the affections of his party that his was the only name mentioned for his suc- cessor. He was renominated by &C., clamation and Theodore Roosevelt. then governor of New York, was placed upon the ticket with him to fill the va cancy caused in the vice presidency by the death of Vice President Hobart.
 
 When the election day came last Mo- vember President Mckinley was found to have been reelected with the same emphasis which the people showed when they declared their choice of himthe first time. He was given 7,233,- 715 votes to 6,255, ,668 for Bryan, a plu- rality of 97S,047 votes for Mckinley over Bryan and majority of G23,6 votes over all the other candidates fo' president.

LATE M hlNLt I. as United States senator and ass ciate justice in the United States su- preme court, was his lieutenant colonel. His major was President Rutherford B. Hayes.
 Mckinley saw his first battle at Carnifex Ferry. Later the regiment joined McClellan's Army of the Poto- mac. At Antietam Mckinley was sergeant. His bravery on this occa- sion led to his receiving a commission as second lieutenant. He was staff officer under Gems. Hayes, Cook and Carroll. At 20 he was a first lieuten- ant, and year later captain. Just before the close of the war President Lincoln signed the commission giving him the brevet rank of major. Dur ing the war he cast his first vote for president, and helped to swell the Lincoln majority.

this by saying that the sgppIy Of hemp is
limited, and that a years crop is hardly
large enough to supply the demand. The

Of 1898. Prior to that year tbs. company

Mr. Waterbury stated that four houses

they were given the preference over other
buyers, but the arrangement lasted only
six nc nths. as the four hemp houses re
