SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

The nebula that seems to be
spreading out from the new star
in Perseus not only changes at a
preceptible rate but has bright
spots on its outer edge that appear
to have passed over minute of arc
in six weeks implying the tremen-
dous velocity of 1000 miles per
second if the nebula is assumed to
be at the distance of the nearest
known otar. 1t is suggested as
more probable that the new star
and its nebula are nearer, or that
flash of light may have been sent
through the comparatively dark
gas without actual motion of the
gas itself The greatest apparent
motion of star in space lis Sa

that of small star in the southern
hemisphere The famous Groom
bridge 1870, with proper motion
of I seconds year, taking it
across space equal to the diane
ter of the moon in $50 years, has a
parallax of about IA of second,
and is calculated to travel at a
speed of 200 miles a second. The

maximum velocity of little
more than one-half mile per

IT is altogether probable that
the plan of an English syndicate
to drain the Cripple Creek district
will be consummated, and should
the deal go through it will mean
much to Florence and this vicinity
1t is proposed to clear the Cripple
Creek mines of water by means of
an immense tunnel, the mouth of
which will be at the junction of
Cripple and Wilson creeks. This
will drain the water of the entire
district into this valley. And when
this is all accomplished, Florence
ought to have sugar factory
ready for the immense crops of
sugar beets which such a scheme
will make possible on the park
north of this city Those of our
people who are keeping tab on the
sugar proposition should not lose
sight of this big drainage scheme.

improvement. Being the Watch
word During the Dying Year.

Florence cannot truly say that
she showed the same degree of
prosperity during the year just
ending as she did during 1900
But in the face of this, while the
mills and smelters were idle, the
time was occupied in vastly i'm
proving the Union and Rocky
Mountain plants, with view 10
putting them on a better compel
ing basis with the mills that will
probably hereafter hinder their
progress. These two plants are
the pride of Florence.
During the last few months
workmen have completed $40, 900
concentrator at the old Metallic
mill for the purpose of working
the tailings dump of the Metallic
This will employ about thirty men
and will afford employment, it is
estimated, for at least three years
Fully Sl50,000 improvements
we're made at the Union mill and
the smelter, making an Investment
of $4,000 in the three places.
During the year this county ex-
perienced an oil boom which out
rivals the day when oil was first
drilled into, and during the spring
months number of oil companies
were organized, some of them now
in the field of operation, with the
very best prospects for drilling
into oil. Others of the new organ
izations have not yet commenced
drilling, but it is their intention
to do so.
A number of very handsome
new business blocks grace the
streets of Florence. which were
constructed this year, some of them
costing $4,000 each, and numerous
new dwelling houses were also
built at cost ranging from $500
to $4,000. These we're built by
Florence people for homes and not
for rent.
Workmen are employed on the
erection of the car barn and power
house of the Florence Electric
Street Railway company, and part
of the line is already laid. This
line means n great deal for Flor
enoe, and if put through will be
the means of enhancing the value
of property in all parts of the city
The writer knows that several
houses will be built, pending the
construction of the railway.
Work is being prosecuted on the
new cement works which will also
be classed as one of Florence's
industries, and the fact that it is
located so near here will in the
end put hundreds of dollars in cir
culation in the Lily of the Val
ley and will increase the business
of its merchants,
All in all, Florence has been a
town of mprovements, and many
think that after the dawn of the
new year business will be carried
on on the same plane as it was
last year.

MINING AT BOULDER.
Florence Men Operating in Good
District.

The India Gold Mining COM
pany, composed of mining men of
Florence, Cripple Creek and Ohio,
are preparing to commence active
operations, having only recently
installed a steam hoist and air
compresors with the expectation
of driving the tunnel on the Cum
berland another 200 feet and sink
ing the shaft on the India an ad-
diuonal 200 feet, making depth
of 800 feet. The mines are located
eight miles north of Boulder.
This work will be done by con
tract and it is the company's in
tention at later day to commence
the tunnel and the shaft which
will require 600 feet additional
sinking in the shaft and this will
cut the vein in the India at a
depth of 600 feet and at the same
time will open up lot of good
stoping ground, and in addition
the cumberland tunnel will drain
the Indian shaft without the aid
of pumps.
A lot of ore is being saved which
will be sent to the smelter at Man
golia.

Mrs. Godwin's Death.

After several months of very pain
full suffering with cancer, Mrs.
Nancy L. Goodwin, wife of DR.. S. w.
Goodwin, died at her home in the
city at IL o'clock last Sunday morn
ing.
Mrs. Goodwin was the daughter
Of David and Elizabeth Littleton,
and was born July 20, 1887, near
Florence, North Alabama When
a young woman she became
Christian and a member of the
M. Il. Church, South On Septem-
Der 20, 1859 she was united in mar
rage to DR.. Goodwin, and came with
her husband to Maury County,
where they lived until November,
1870. From that time they have
resided in Union City until death
separated her from her companion.
Mrs. Goodwin passed away in the
midst of loving relatives and
friends, whose tender care and
patient watching were a boon and
solace in the terrible hour of
her suffering. There were not only
the relatives to bid her the last
sad farewell, but there were others
who knew her as mother, the kind
est friend in the world, whose home
was that of the Godwins, and whose
affection tor her was as an own
child. These knew the strength OF
a mothers love and nature and the
loss they sustained in the hour of
her death. Mrs. Goodwin was
noble Christian woman, devoted to
her church, kind and generous to
her friends, a gentle loving spirit
called thitherward to a beautiful
haven of rest in an Eternal Home
of Life Everlasting.
She leaves the companion of her
lite work intrusted with the part
ing messages of peace and love.

The fire fend destroyed seven
tobacco rehandling houses and
thirty three residences. The fire
department was virtually power
less and the fury of the flames was
only stayed when the fire had ex-
hausted itself.
There is hardly any doubt but
that the fire was of incendiary
origin, and it broke out in Ben
Keys cooper shop, known as the
hogshead factory.
The value of the thirty-three
residences ranged from $500 to

fire travelling. A horse and about
100 head of hogs were burned.

Franklin Strube, of Cincinnati, at

is the reflection of the craze from
Beaumont that has fallen upon the

perhaps it may lead to the devel
opment of resources hitherto sus-
pected, but never yet found, pro-
ducing such substantial returns.
Tennessee may in the future, owe

Women Lawyers Cant be Licensed
in Tennessee.

The Supreme Court of Tennes-
see at jackson last week decided
again that women cannot practice
law in Tennessee. 1t was in the
case of Marion Griffin, petition
on the part of an unmarried wo-
man in Memphis. The court held
that it was not authorized to adj
NIT a woman to practice before it.
The same matter was pretented
to the the court at its last term,
and it was then held by majority
of the court that under the COM
mon law and our statutes woman
was not eligible to practice law in
the courts of Tennessee. The mat
ter was brought before the last
two legislatures and both declined
to pass an enabling statute.
The court based its decision on
the ground that an attorney is an
officer and that under our statutes
woman is not eligible to Office
except in such cases as the legisla-
ture has made her eligible, as, for
instance, the State librarian, super
intendent of public instruction,
etc. A married woman could not
act as attorney because the dis
ability of coverture would stand
in the way of her liability for any
malfeasance or misfeasance in the
discharge of her duty; and that,
although the petitioner is not a
married woman, the court had no
process by which it could restrain
her should she desire to become
one. The majority of the court
was of the opinion that the matter
of her admission to the bar is one
that addresses itself to the legis-
lature and not to the judiciary.
Judges Wilkes and Caldwell did
not concur with the majority, hold
ing that an attorney is not an Off
Ger except IN a modified sense. 1t
would not follow from her admis-
sion to the bar that she would be-
come thereby eligible to the Office
of Judge, Encouragement or
any governmental function, and
while as a married woman she
could not be held liable for
her compact, still the stat
utes relating to control and dis
barment of an attorney was a suf
ficient guarantee that the interests
of clients would be protected.
They pointed out that women have
been admitted to practice law in
nearly all the States of the union

FOR GOVERNOR.

A Memphis correspondent to
the Nashville American says
During the recent State cam
paigns the name of Judge Swig-
CART, of Union City, has often
occurred in the lists of possible
starters, but he has always until
now declined to make the race.
Judge Swiggart is now writing
letters to various prominent pol
iticians over the State, and the
tone of them indicates that he has
made up his mind to make the
race. The Hon. John B. Frazier
is considered in the race, and Gov.
Benton McMillin is supposed to
he candidate for the third term
and at the same time an aspirant
for the United States Senate.
This correspondent evidently has
heard something, else his surmises
are without foundation. We do
not know anything of Judge Swig-
CARTS intentions as to political
campaign, but there is no man we
could more cheerfully support for
the highest Office in the State. His
record as Circuit Judge and his
character as a private citizen have
ELECTED the highest comment from
the press. He is eminently known
in this division of the State as a
Judge and lawyer, man dis.
tingnished for his lofty character
and strong intellect and his fine
sense of justice and equity.
1t is true that if the Judge con
cludes to make the race, this will
be the first time he has offered to
come before the people of the
State as candidate for official
honor; but, Notwithstanding that
fact, we are fully confident that
the dignity and responsibility of
Governor could not fall upon an
ADLER and more conscientious man,
and that his record, if the distlnc.
ton is to be conferred upon him,
will not have suffered by compari-
son with his predecessors of recent
years. We know some of these
men. We have seen them in the
active discharge of official duty,
and we think we know what we
are talking about when we say
that Judge Swiggart stands second
to no man in the list of possible
candidates for the office of Gov
ernor of the State of Tennessee.
If Judge Swiggart should decide
to make the canvass, we are free
to say that we can cheerfulIy give
him our most cordial support !;
and, if it. is in order, we would
like to nominate him as West Ten
nessee's candidate before the Dem
ocratic Gubernatorial Convention
which meets next wear.
