with the argument that. upon the en-
actment of such laws, the companies
would all pull out of the state. TO
which we reply, let them pull. The
business thought and business necessity
would in a twinkling supply their
places with something better. Their
extortionate rates and their niggardly
settlements make of them at best, a
doubtful proposition, whether their
presence is desirable or not. We are
inclined to believe that the sooner
they take their leave, and some new
system of fire protection springs from
their ashes the better.

The Corner In July Corn,

Chicago spectators. who are trying
to run corner in the July option, are
in fair way to meet the fate OF Phil
lips and Joe Letter in similar under
taklngs. Stocks are light, but the con-
sumptive demand is much lighter, and
the prospects for the growing crop are
about ali that could be asked. Under
the circumstances the deliveries are
likely to be very heavy the last of the
month and il the price is to be kept up
the bull pool will be swamped. The
idea of putting corn above wheat is 80
illogical that it is wonder it can be
considered. No actual consumer Will
pay more or as much for the inferior
grain, and the 'short" seller, If he
have sticking qualities, will soon be
able to fill his contracts at profit.
The attempt to run the corner is
most demoralizing and is already
causing alarm among spectators, to
say nothing of the legitimate trade.
1t is to be feared it will have the
same effect in the future that resulted
from Letters famous wheat corner.
High prices brought out stocks from
all over the worlo and the subsequent
reaction was direct injury both to
producers and the cash trade. Courier

is to secure sufficient appropriations

best of teachers and make of this a
high grade preparatory school to pre-

equal to any high grade preparatory

Corn And Cotton Promising.
Nashville. July s.-The weekly crop
brllstin of the Weather Bureau was
issnad Tuesday by Section Director
Bate. The summary OF condiuons
existing in Tennessee follows:
During the week local showers ieli
in some portions Of the state, but gen
orally dry and hot weather prevailed
which favored the work Of saving hay
threshing wheat and OF giving the
final cultivation to early corn and cot
ton. These last named crops are In
fine condition of growth development
and at this time have very hattering
prospects, except that in some sections
more rain is needed for the proper ma
turing of corn. These crops have been
well cultivated and, as a rule, are
clean. Wheat threshing is nearing
completion the crop is much below
the average in point of yield, but the
quality of grain is very good. oats
are being harvested with fairly good
Yields, except in some sections where
the crop was cut short by the recent
dry weather. Tobacco got late
start but the young crop is growing
off fairly well. Peanuts are reported
doing well at present. Early Irish
potatoes are being gathered. with only
fair yields in the Middle Division on
account of the drouth; in the Western
Division planting the second crop has
begun. Sweet potatoes are doing well
as a rule. Peas and millet are In good
condition of growth. In some OF the
West ern counties the tomato crop is
reported very fine and many heavy
shipments are being made. Fruits
show little or no improvement; apples
are scarce and generally inferior ;
peaches are more plentiful but much
below the average small fruits are
better blackberries were injured py
the dry weather. Much good hay was
saved during the week. Pastures are
in good condition. The rains of the last
days of June were heavier in the nor
thern counties, and in some places were
TENDED with high damaging WINDS.

Judge Holding will carry Hickman
