THE KILLING OF THOMPSON.
Additional Details of the Tragedy
 at Cedar Plains.

Decatur, June 23-(Special. )-Jasper HaTdwick. who killed Dr. J. B. Thoma- son at Cedar Plains Saturday. came to town and surrendered to the sheriff, the | latter refusing to place him in jail be- cause he had no warrant, notwthstand- inG Hardwick confessed to Killing Dr. Thomason. He claims there were no witnesses; that he had been informed Dr. Thomson had sworn to take his life and
 was carrying a gun to kill him (Hard-
 wick.)
 Coroner John A. Thomson. brother of the dead man. was seen by The Adver- tiser correspondent this morning. He stated there were three witnesses to the killing. two brothers named Teague and a man named Orr, who were accompany ing Dr. Thomson to see patient. The party stopped at a branch near Hard- wick place to water their horses Hard wick was standing at the branch leaning on shot gun. When Dr. Thomason leaned over his horses's neck to watch the animal drink Hardwick stepped to pr. Thomason's side and mumbled some thing unintelligible to the others. The doctor replied: No ones afraid of you: you've never killed any one yet" Hardwick then raised his gun and fired both barrels, the wads entering Thoma- sons abdomen and tearing his right arm nearly from his body. As the wounded mans horse wheeled, Hardwick broke his gun, reloaded it and fired third time into Thomasons back and was in the act of firing the fourth time. when the other men prevented him.
 Thomasons body was literally riddled from heels to head with bullets.
 The dead mans pistol was in his saddle bags.
 Hardwicks children were witnesses to the shooting. they being in small strip of woods near the branch.
 Coroner Thomason said that Hardwick's act was mystery. as both men had been life long friends and neighbors, though there had been a trivial business diff ference between them about a year ago which had been amIcably settled.
 The families of both men are among the most prominent in the State, and are we'll known in Tennessee.

: SIMPLE METHODS BY WHICH
: VICTIMS OF LIGHTNING
: MAY BE RESUSCITATED

In most of the cases in which per-
sons are struck by lightning death
would rarely ensue if the proper
treatment were administered" said
an old-time electrician. "Take, for
instance the persons who died in
Chicago last week as the result Of
being hit by lightning during a Sc
we're storm. I am firmly convinced
that had some one who knew what
to do been on hand the victims lives
might have been saved.
III a person has been struck by
lightning the first thing to do is to
go to work to restore consciousness,
as lightning oftener brings about
suspended animation than somatic
death. The condition of person
struck by lightning is much the same
as that of a person rescued from
drowning. Try to stimulate respira-
ton and circulation. Do not cease in
the effort to restore animation in
less than an hour, as you value the
life Of the sufferer
The method used to restore res
piration is immaterial. A good way
Is to initiate the motions of respira-

THE GIANT GHGTUS :
Mystery Deserts America
Plant of Mystery That Flou

No one ever saw the giant cactus
on the sandy desert of Africa; the
primeval architects of the Nile never
knew this motive for their colossal
dreams. Here alone do these tall
monuments guard the graves of
worlds, and perhaps this very one
l gaze on was scarcely begun when
Ramesis was born.
Day and night question it, by sum
light and moonlight and the unfailing
stars, until gradually the unfamiliar
harmonies of its sun-searched life
justify themselves to my soul. The
sense of uncanniness, OF monstrosity
passed away; the emotion no longer
appals and rends me, but soothes
with immensities of restfulness.
To go out on the desert day after
day and meet these cacti is like whis-
pering into the ear of the Sphinx and
listening at her locked lips. So wise
they are, SO old with the age of the
world, SO majestically still in those
cataclysmic solitudes! And to go out
in April and see them suddenly
abloom is IS though the lips of the
Sphinx should part and utter solemn

A Fortunate Postmaster.

counts himself a very fortunate man.
Mr.. brennan, in addition to being
postmaster, is Justice of the Peace, a
member of the Christian church and
highly respected and useful citizen.
He has suffered for some time with
what some people would call ricketts,
or "rigors'' Of the kidneys-kidney dis
ease in a very painful form: He could
not sleep, he had a dull pain over his
left kidney was continually restless,
could not lie still, and had to get up
through the night several times, ana
was also troubled in this way during
the day.
He used few boxes Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills., remedy recently introduced
in this state and advertised as cure
for Kidney Disease, rheumatism, Ma
laria, etc., and in a short time was
completely restored to vigorous good
health He is very grateful to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Chicago, the recent story of the Ne

A SPONGE STOCK FARM.

They Are Trying to Breed Tame Ones
Now in Florida.
Not even the sponge can escape the
efforts of the breeder. If the govern
ment succeeds even measurably in it's
efforts, there will be a stock farm of
sponges on the Florida coast some
day, where man can go and buy
eggs or young sponges as he would
buy hens eggs or calves now.
Some time ago DR.. H. F. Moore be-
gan experiments at Sugar Loaf Key,
about Is miles east of Key West, and
at several places in Biscayne bay.
Several. thousand sponge cuttings
were planted at these places under a
variety of conditions. The chief prob
lem confronting the experimenter' In
this field is to find some ready means
of attaching the cuttings to durable
support, capable of resisting the &C.
ton of salt water and the ravages of
the teredo and animals having SINH
lar destructive habits, and which, at
the same time, will not have an
injurious effect upon the growing
sponge. The cuttings live and their
cut surfaces heal without difficulty.
About six weeks after the plants
were made they were examined, and,
under favorable conditions, it was
found that about IS per cent of the
sheepswool cuttings were alive, healed
and apparently healthy. In several
cases, where the plants were made in
places exposed to very strong cur
rents, many of the pieces were torn
loose from their supports, while 9th
ers had been killed by rough action
of the currents.
The cuttings from yellow sponges
suffered much greater mortality
than those made from the sheepswool
sponge, but whether this be due to
the more delicate nature of the animal
or to the accidental conditions under
which they were planted is not yet
determined.
So far as has been discovered. the
more valuable sheepswool sponge
seems to posses greater hardness
than it's cogener.

Women and the Clergy
Rev. Herbert Bigelow Denoun


If we turn to the condition of wo-
man in Christendom, we shall find
that her progress has been long i'm
peded by false ideas of her relation to
man, and in defense of these ideas
the Bible has been freely quoted.
The besetting sin of human nature
is the lust of power. Man is an ego
fist. 1t takes culture a long time
to refine that away. Man loves to fiat
ter himself with the thought of his
superiority. That pride of power is
undoubtedly at the bottom of the
fact that he is so reluctant to &C.
knowledge the equality of the sexes.
/Pcricles thought "a woman's chief
glory was to be known neither for
good nor evil" Socrates thanked the
gods that he was "a man, not a
brute,' and that he was male, not
female" Erasmus prayed that all
people might come to read the Bible,
"even women and Turks"
Yet we are becoming civilized,
though slowly. Even now, in some
parts Of this republic, women enjoy
full voting privilege with men; yet
it was only a century ago that France
guillotined a woman Tor daring to
assert woman's right to the ballot It
was only twenty-five years ago that
we in America began to think women
worth educating.

Our Bible is not responsible for this

texts in which this egotism of the
male has entrencaed itself.
On the woman question Mazzini
was more orthodox than Paul. He
told the young men of Italy: Love
and respect woman. Seek in her not
