He was born in New Orleans forty

Farm welIs,

The location of the well on the farm
Is one of the greatest Importance. In
many instances the farmer starts his
we'll near the buildings and yards, an
selects the lowest point as a location,
with the idea that he will not have
to dig as deep as he would upon high
er land. This is often a mistake. as
we know of several places in a village
where the wells near the top of the
hill are not as deep and are not as
much affected by drouth as those on
the lower land at the foot of tho hill.
though there may be fifty or q hun
dred feet difference In this elevation
But the chief objection to the well on
the low ground Is that 1t receives the
surface drainage from the higher land
and thus the water soon becomes SO
contaminated as to be unfit for use,
either by the family or the animals.
for to be healthy they must have pure
water. In these days Of driven wells
a pipe can often be sunk on the high
est gravel knoll or sand hill on the
farm more cheaply than in the low
land, and when water is reached 1t is
pure and will continue SO, because
the surface water runs away from 1t
and not toward it. II windmill is
erected the wind power is better. and
by tank and pipes water can be
brought to house, barn and yards. or
carried to irrigate the garden and
strawberry bed in a way to make 1t
doubly pay for itself. first in savings
of daily hard labor at the pump and
next in increased crops by having
water supply when needed. We heard
a market gardener near Boston say.
a few years ago, that he put down
driven wells, bought a steam engine
and pump. built a tank and laid pipes.
and the increased value OF his crops
paid the whole expense the first year.
including cost Of running the engine.
Many man who thought he could
not afford to put in a new well has
paid out more cash for doctors and
undertaker's bills than the we'll wouls
have cost.-American Cultivator.

STRIKE TIES UP
 KNOXVILLE CARS
Seventy Motormenand conduc' tors Demand Recognition
 of Their Union

Knoxville, Tenn, August 1.-About seventy motormen and conductors of the Knoxville Traction Company's system went out on a strike this morning, refus- ing to take out cars. They demanded the recognition of their union, which was or ganized last Friday night. The demand was very courteously refused by the management. About o'clock few cars were put on with non-union men in charge. Crowds along the streets greeted them with cries of "scab.' The entire organized labor element of Knoxville is in sympathy with the strikers. The indications are that the company will easily win the strike without making any concession whatever to the strikers, 1t appearing that sufficient non-union men can be secured.
 A non union man was arrested for point ing a pistol at B. F. Henry, president of the Southern striking machinists. It is said Henry was trying to pull him off, the car.
 Not a wheel turned in Knoxville to- night. What few cars had been operated in a haphazard fashion during the day were run into the carsheds before dark
 
 to thousands and the feeling ran so high it would have been folly to have tried to operate the cars. Central Labor Union, which Is composed of delegates from all unions in East Tennessee met tonight and after several speeches had been delivered, pledged It's moral and financial support to the strikers. It also declared boycott on the Knoxville Trac- tion Company. Reports tonight are that men are expected tomorrow from Balti- more and Nashville to take the places of the strikers, but these can be traced to no authoritative source. officials of the company say that all cars will be operated tomorrow This cannot be done unless men are imported.
 The strike is working a great hardship on hundreds of working men and girls who live three or four miles out on the various car lines. Hacks carried as many as they could hold to their homes tonight, but hundreds were forced to walk.

AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION
 GIVES OUT STATEMENT

Pittsburg, Pa, August 1.-The third all- day session of the AmaIgamated Associa- tion executive board has passed without action being taken on the New Iock COZ ference peace proposals and another ses- sion will be held tomorrow.
 Official confirmation of the status of the steel workers strike as 1t was out lined by the Associated Press last night was given in the current issue of the Amalgamated Journal, which Is the or gan of the association. The executive board of the association Is in fact waiting for word from J. P. Morgan. The mes sage sent to MT. Morgan is believed to be an ultimatum. If the steel workers do not get their demand for this confer ence the strike will go on indefinitely. None of the official of the organization would discuss the point today.
 The Statement.
 At noon after the executive board had been in session all morning. and in a formal manner waited for a reply from MT. Morgan, the membeAs decided to make an official denial of the report that there was lack of harmony in their ranks. To the reporters present they gave out the following:
 We, the members of the executive board of the Amalgamated Association. ueSlre 10 0eny empnat1cally the reports published of expressions of a disagree ment among us. We are disposing of the work before the committee as fast as its importance will permit and no member has expressed any opinion or given out any statement of the business. Nothing of the intentions of the members has been made public; neither will any re- ports be issued until definite conclusion has been reached. We are simply trying to reach a settlement which shall be hon orable and satisfactory to all concerned"
 The propositions of MT. Morgan are said by one high in authority to be incom- plete. He says they do not settle the dispute.
 The executive committee sat and waited all day for a reply. On Wednesday the same proceedings were gone through with. MT. Morgan's silence is regarded by some as significant and ominous 9th CTS profess to believe that he is in con- sultation with other officials of the United States Steel Corporation and will arrive shortly
 Among the many rumors In the strikers circles today was that the American Sheet Steel Company was preparing to bring large number of non-union men from the South to take their places and that the officials of the Demler tin mill were preparing to break the strike at that point. Every avenue of approach to these mills Is being carefully watched by the strikers.

Carrollton, Miss, August 1.-The murder of Mir and Mrs. Taliaferro eliminated this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the lynching of Betsie McCray, her son, Belfield Nc Cray, and daughter Ida McCray, all col ored. The mob was composed of about 500 white citizens of Carroll County, who marched to the jail in order, demanded the keys from Jailer Duke, proceeded to the cells of the unfortunate negroes, bound them by the neck and hands and carried them to the corporate limits of town, where they hung them to tree by the public roadside and riddled their bodies with bullets. ae .
 The mob resisted the earnest appeals of Judge W. F. Stephens and Hon. W. s. Hill, who stood on the steps of the jail and appealed to the mob in the name of law and order. They even followed the mob to the cell doors with their arms

Member of Amalgamated Association Says Terms Offered By Morgan Are Unfair-Board Working
 In Harmony.

Pittsburg. Pa, August 1.-The Conimer- cial Gazette tomorrow will say:
 The Amalgamated executive board last evening received by telegram a flat refusal from J. P. Morgan to reopen tae wage conference where 1t was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln nearly three weeks ago. The powers of the steel combine Insist that the only basis of settlement vill be on the terms which President c. M. Schwab and Chairman F. H. Gary laid down at the meeting with the Ama;ga- mated officials in New York on last Satur- day.
 A member of the executive board last night said:
 These terms are denominatei by those who have the best interests of the orga ni- zation of the steel workers at heart as the most unfair, the most unjust ever pro- posed to any body of workingmen by a set of employers or a corporation. The terms are such that the executive board of the Amalgamted Association canno; accept and has already gone on record to that effect"
 Tomorrow morning the answer of MT. Morgan is expected by mail There is scarcely a fragment of a hope that the Amalgamated Association will back down from It's we'll known position. The leader- of the workers will In reply outline their plans to the steel corporation for a con- tinuance of the great struggle They will include the stopping of every wn4el los- sible in the works of the combine and the extension of the strike in all possible Gi- rections by the Amaleamated Association. Today may develop nuf h, bu. if the om- bine cannot be made ;o w.aver through the influence that will be brought to bear, the great conflict probably will be fought to the end.

 "Ail I said in the matter" continued cap.ain Schiey was that I was natural ly Schley partisan and hoped that my father would be fully vindicated. Surely there is rothing improper in son wish ing his father success. I positively de- clined to enter into discussion of the merits Of the controversy. In the first place am not competent to disscuss the case. because know nothing of 1t.

DISOBEDIENCE IS
 HELD IN CHARGES
Navy Department Refuses to Accede to SchIey's
 Request

Washington, August 1-Formal action in the matter of the Schley court of in- quiry was today confined to the dispatch that the department herewith transmit ted copies of letters dated July 27 and August l, respecting the precept un- der which the court of inquiry in the case of Rear Admiral Schley is to be conven- ed"
 The court through Admiral Dewey had already been supplied with printed copy of the precept itself. The correspondence referred to in Admiral Schley's letter, suggestion the omission of the depart ments expression of opinion touching his alleged disobedience of orders and the reply from Acting Secretary Hackett, de- clining to make this modification. It Is very rarely that a precept containing a court of inquiry is amended. The de- partment's action, it is stated while tech nlcally declining Admiral Schley's sugges- tion, does, however in fact amount to an amendment on the lines pointed ont by him. As indicated in the letter to Admiral Dewey this correspondence will form a part of the record and in fact Is a supplement to the precept and as such of force as the original document.
 Captain Parker of counsel tor Admiral Schley continued his work at the navy de- partment today of scanning the log boo<s and other records bearing upon the opera tions of the West Indian fleet. He hopes to finish this week. He is maintaining close silence of his discovries. i. he has made any. The log books are watcfeo with jealous care at all times In the present instance a keen eyed lieutenant watches the turning of every page of the volumes to make sure there shall be no alteration or excisions.
