General Crop Conditions.

Section Director Bates makes the
following report regarding croLs in
Tennessee during week ending Oc-
tober %:
Another week of ideal fall wealth
er prevailed aud the work of pre-
pairing soil for the reception of win
ter grains and of planting them &C.
cupied the attention Of the farmer,
and it is needless to say that the
work progressed favorably, as did
also the work of picking cotton and
gathering corn and other maturing
crops. About half the area intended
for wheat has been planted, many
farmers having delayed planting
through fear of the Hessian fly,
which has already appeared in some
of the earlier sowings. The crop,
as rule, will be put in better con-
dition than ever before. The early
sowings, as we'll as those of rye,
barley and winter oats, are coming
up and looking healthy, except
where the fly appears, as noted.
The corn crop, now being gath
cred, is, as a rule, short, but farm
ers have offset this shortage to a
great extent by having in good con-
dition the largest crop of winter
forage ever known.
Cotton picking has kept up well
with the opening, so the loss by the
usual methods will be comparatively
small.
The work Of grinding sorghum
is still in progress, with fair yields
reported.
Late Irish potatoes promise fair
yields, also sweet potatoes. Peas
are rather short in yield. Turnips
are in fine growth. Pastures are In
excellent condition. Frosts occur
red during the week, but no mate
rial damage is reported. Light rains
fell early in the week in the eastern
division.

THAT FATAL DINNER.
Congressman PattersOn'S Opinion on
the Presidents Entertainment
Of Negro.
From Commercial Appeal

AIVhl OOhAhiOANi''A -ApPN''A'I
"To say that l am surprised and
grieved at the conduct Of the Presi-
dent is to put the case mildly; not
that Booker T. Washington is not
an honor to his race, for he is and
deserving of all praise and encour-
agement for his work. But l con-
slider the incident as one of the most
objectionable that has ever occurred
and one for which there can be no
possible excuse; for of all Presidents
who have lately been indicted to
the high Office none had more thor
oughly the confidence of the South
ern people and no section Of the
country had higher expectations for
the success of his administration.
We believed that he understood the
conditions which have confronted
the Southern people since the war
and that he would not knowingly
give this affront to the pride of race,
or mark precedent for social equal
ity. The Southern people cannot
and will not forgive this conduct of
the President. By it he has cut
himself loose from any possible
Southern sentiment in his favor,
for no self respecting Southern man
will ever tolerate such an action or
support such man for the Presi-
dency. The Southern people believe
in doing justice to the inferior race,
and / always tried, when an official,
to see that outrages against a help
less class should be properly pun
ished, but social eqTality is one thing
and justice to the negro race is quite
another. To preserve the social dis
tinction between the two races is not
only necessary for the dominance of
the white race, but it is measure
of protection TO the negro himself.
On this subject we have taken q
stand never to yield.
t'The negroes themselves do not
demand social equality, and they
will regret this unfortunate conduct
of the Executive as a misfortune to
themselves.
"No promise of official patronage
or offices to be bestowed upon South
ern men will ever wipe out this deep
affront to their racial pride and in
stinct put upon them by the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Mckinley would never
have made this mistake.
President Roosevelt can never
set this fashion for the Southern
people, nor can he for the better
element of the North. If the Presi
dent of the United States fails to

recognize that the distinction be-
tween the races must be presel we'd,
then all the South can do is to close
up its lines again and set its face
forever against the man and against
the sentiment that must destroy this
distinction. l, together with many
others, had hopes of better things
from the President. / am sorry they
have been disappointed"

There is a great deal of sickness
in the country round about here,
but the people of our town are en-
joying fairly good health.
Mr.. James G. Lambert, who lived
a mile west of Toone, died Sunday
morning and was laid to rest in the
Rainey cemetery here Monday at 2
p. m. Mr.. Lambert was prominent
citizen and was we'll liked by all
who knew him. He leaves large
family to mourn his death.
Mr.. George Pirtle is very ill at
his home west of Toone. Very lit
tie hope is entertained of his recov-
cry.
The Toone Academy opened
school September 31st, aud is pro-
crossing splendidly, with Prof. Err
nest Mcdaniel as principal. There
is large attendance and good in

Mrs. Rebecca Pirtle is dangerous
ly i'll at her home three miles west
of town.
A literary and debating society
was organized at the Academy last
Friday night. Nearly all the young
people of the town are interested in
the work and real interesting meet
ings are anticipated.
Rev. Hill, of the S. w. B. Uni

Sunday School was organized here
last Sunday and, it is hoped, will
have a splendid success.
Several of our young people are
attending the Street Fair at Jackson

Though very little is heard about
Toone, it is one Of the biggest tim
Der shipping points in the country;
in fact, is the largest. Here are
few statistics about our town which
will be of interest to many: Timber
and lumber now in yards awaiting
shipment, worth $1,000 900; average
value of lumber shipped per month,
$40, 900; average No. bales of cotton
shipped per year, 2,OOO-value, at
$50 per bale, $4,000; aggregate
sales of our merchants for current
year, over 100000, fruit shipped,
$500. Now, if there is a town on
the map in Tennessee the size of
Toone that can boast Of a better
commercial showing than TooIe we
would like for them to show up the
facts,
Our merchants are somewhat
bearish in the cotton market this
season.

 Silk culture is not, and never has been. an exceedingly remunerative bus mess. but it adds vast wealth to the nations engaged in it, for the simple reason that it can be pursued by the humblest and poorest, requiring only small outlay. There are hundreds of thousands of families in the United States today which would be glad to add a few dollars to their annual in- come by giving light and easy employ ment for few months each year to the most aged, to the young and es- pecially to the women of the family, who may have no other means of em- ploying their time proeitably.
 The raising of a few pounds ots cocoons every years does not material-' ly interfere with the household and other duties that now engage the tims of the farm girls, and it is by each household raising a few pounds of cocoon that silk culture must be car r;ed on in this country, as it has al- ways been in other countries.

 Experiments in this direction have been made by the government before, and unsuccessfully, but exactly the same thing may be said of tea raising, which. after a previous failure, is now prOspering. We are demonstrating that tea can be grown pIofitably in the South. the leaves being gathered by oh urh mt with the addition made by these earn ings to the family income. This class of labor can be employed to pick null berry leaves and feed silkworms. High ability to direct the work and cheap la bor to execute it afford a combination that ought to make the production of silk a success in the United States.
 There are people out in Utah at the present time who are raising silk worms from year to year. growing null berry leaves for their food, and actual ly producing silk and weaving it into cloths for family use. It would be Q simple matter to employ some of these experienced persons as teachers of the art in the Southern States"
 The Department of Agriculture ex- perts say a great advantage enjoyed by people In the Southern States with regard to raising silk worms Is the in- exhaustible supply of leaves of the osage orange. which is furnished by thousands of miles of hedges of that plant Americans are superior in av- craze intelligence to Europeans, as we'll as in ingenuity, and will be quick to improve on old world methods.

INEBRITY IS NOT HEREDITARY. According to English Scientists the
 Craving is Not Transmitted.

It is not eighteen months since the Society for the Study of Inebriety ap- pointed a special committee to con slider the relation of heredity to in ebriety. The committee was compos- ed of five physicians. two surgeons. professor of bacteriology. an army sur geon and five general medicine practi- tioners. Eighteen months have been spent in investigation. The report of this committee has just been publish ed. and it is signed by nine of the four teen members. some of whom have made comments. while one has sent in an independent report. The reference to the committee was in these terms; To investigate the condition under which the tendency of drunkenness is capable of transmission to offspring. It does not appear to be contended that inebriety is in itself hereditary, but that a capacity or tendency to it is heritable.
 The report declares that the in- ebriety of an individual depends upon three conditions. the first being an in-
