THE WAYS, fads and vagaries of lawmakers
are peculiar. hestatement is just being made
that law has been enacted in New York
which provides that in selecting men to serve
on iuries in the State list shall be made up Of
those who have registered and neglected to
vote, and the jurors for the courts shall be
taken from it. 1t is assumed that the being
drafted on jury is punishment, and that to
avoid the risk of being so taken men will vote
who otherwise might neglect to use the suf-
frage In that light the bill may not be OBJ
iectionable though it strikes us as singular
use of law to employ it to gain such an end
But how about its effect on the composition of
iuries The theory in the case is that man
who negIects voting neglects his duty as a
citizen, and it is not altogether wrong theory.
This being so then it is proposed to make up
the States juries of men who are not good
citizens. 1t not only assumes that the best citi-
zens are not to be put on juries, but it openly
recognizes jury duty as punishment Could
ANYTHING be more inappropriate? Such law
is more than extraordinary-it is amazing.

WRIT the surrender ofthe Beers Great Britain

tional square miles of territory in South

endless annoyance. Great Britain's holdings
and spheres of influence on the Dark Con-

DOUBTLESS THE self-respecting Republicans
of this State have grown heartily sick of the
unseemly controversy that has been in pro-
gress about two weeks between Senator Nc
Comas and Representative Mudd over the APP
pointment of Subtreasurer at Baltimore. That
such stir should be made among those high
in authority over such a trifing matter is, to
say the least, humiliating. The President
should make the appointment at once and put
an end to all this horse play for political effect.
THE SEVENTH week of the anthracite coal
strike ends today and the trouble appears no
nearer ended now than it was month ago.
The men are holding out for an increase of
pay and shorter hours, but the companies are
obdurate and no one can tell what the end will
be. The waste on account of this protracted
strike is startling. The loss to the companies,
the miners and the other interests affected
is estimated at the enormous sum of about
$50, 0OO the miners themselves being
among the heaviest losers in wages.
AND STILL the great coal strike is on. In an
interview in New York on Monday President
ELEPHANT; of the Delaware and Hudson Coal
Company, made the following comment on the
statement of President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers: "Mitchell's statement is mis-
leading and unreliable as to facts and figures.
If he proposes to call out the bituminous
miners and paralyze the entire industries Of
the country he will find that he has taken
upon his shoulders job bigger than he is able
to cope with. There will be no arbitration, that
is certain. We will operate our mines again
with the men who are on strike now. They
will be only too glad to come back, and no
strike leader will be able to keep them out"

MRS. SUSAN DEBoW.

Mrs. Susan DeBow, one of the
oldest pioneer residents in the coun-
ty, died of jaundice Tuesday at
noon at the home of her niece, Miss
Fannie Foster, in this city, where
she has resided for three or four
years. The deceased was 80 years
of age, widow of the late Sam De-
Bow, we'll known during his life
time as good citizen. Their home
was in the vicinity of the state line.
Mrs. DeBow was a member of the
Methodist church at Mt. Zion, hon.
ored and esteemed by all who knew
her. She was Christian in the
truest sense, and one of the sainted
women of the memories of long ago.
Among the friends present to wit
ness her last hours were her neph-
ews, Messrs. Isaac Foster, Gardner;
VIM. Foster and brother, May6eld.
The remains were laid to rest
yesterday at Mt. Moriah. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
C. D. billiard.

MISS NITA SMITH.

At 8 o'clock Thursday, the same
day, occurred the death of Miss
Nita Smith, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of T. A. and Mrs. Mamie
Smith, at their home between Glass
and Obion. The young lady suf.
fered from violent attack OF hux,
her illness lasting only a few days.
She was granddaughter of c. S.
Brown, senior, and a sister OF
Misses Holmes and Wallace Smith,
who were here in school. The sud-
den loss of the happy, sunnv-heart-
ed young girl in the early morning
OF her youth was great shock to
the family-sad, indeed, the part
ing and sundering of affectionate
ties. The bright, joyous young
nature has been summoned to i'm
mortality to dwell in fairer cline.
Services were held at l o'clock
Friday afternoon, led by Rev. Mr..
Scott, of Dyer county, and the re-
mains were laid to rest at the Fox
cemetery, near Obion. Our con-
dolence to the bereaved is extended.

RECORD OF DEATHS.

Mrs. Minerva Fitzpatrick, sister
of c. S. Brown, senior, died of COM
plication of hux at the home of her
son, Chas. Fitzpatrick, near Glass,
Tuesday morning, the goth inst, at
10 o'clock. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was
IA years of age, and leaves FIVE
children-sons and daughters. She
was the last to survive the broth
ers and sisters of Mr.. Brown. Her
daughter, Mrs. A. N. Moore, and
nephew, c. S. Brown, junior, of
this city, were present during her
last illness and the funeral obse-
quies. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was reared
in Maury county, and married at
Culleoka. About fifteen years ago
the family moved to Obion county
and located near Glass. After the
death If Mr.. Fitzpatrick she lived
with her son, where death took
place. She was a member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church,
and her life was one of Christian
tortitude and devotion to her family
and friends, a lady very highly es-

Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. 10 Calhoun at Mt. Moriah
on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
and the burial took place at the
churchyard. We sympathize with

We are advised by the friends
of Major Jas. G. Harris that the
report which has found its way in
to the newspapers concerning litl-
CATION over Reelfoot Lake lands by
the Dougherty heirs has been
greatly exaggerated. In the first
place, instead of 10000 acres OF
land, there are only about $4,000
or $4,000 acres over which there
is any contention, and that since
the North Carolina grant of the
Dougherty heirs over hundred
years ago, that family has been
scattered to the four winds of
earth until there is hardly any
family identity, and that the land,
then considered of no value was
neglected, and taxes allowed to &C
cumulate against it unpaid, and
that the suit originates from par
ties far removed from family
ties or direct interests. More than
this, portion of this land was
granted to the State of Tennessee,
and from the State to the Polk
heirs, and from them down to the
present ownership. Of course if
the suit is brought evidence will be
presented from both sides, and it
is but natural that the newspaper
announcements will be slightly |
colored in accordance with the
views of the informants.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Numerous reports are being re-
ceived in Washington which are
causing considerable anxiety to
the friends of the President. In
the past week Senator Hanna made
public a statement that he was in
excellent health and that there was
no truth in the report that he
would be obliged to retire from
political life. Now there comes
from the South story to the eff
feet that the Southern Republicans
are displeased with Mr.. Roosevelt
and will cast their ballots for Mr..
Hanna at the next national con-
vention, whether he authorizes the
use of his name or not. The CEN
ter of the disaffection seems to be
in Alabama, where the President
has recently removed a district at
torney and a collector of internal
revenue because of their efforts to
eliminate the negro, while District
Attorney Reece and Postmaster
Hughes are threatened with dis
missal for the same cause.

That the Cuban treaty, even if
successfully negotiated, will be
ratified with as little difficulty as
the President seems to anticipate,
does not seem to be the opinion of
some of the members of his party.
1t is of course true that a large
number of the voters have ex.
pressed themselves in favor of the
policy, but the Beet Sugar Trust
has not, and Mr.. Oxnard has come
to Washington to see about it.
That he intends to oppose the pol
icy of the President, is foregone
conclusion. That he considers the
chances of success as good, are
equally certain. With the matter
coming only before the Senators,
who are less directly responsible
to the people than the Representa-
tives, he will find it easier to in
huence votes.
