Presidents Orders Not in Line
With the Code.

Washington, D. c. July 2O.-The
action of the President in retiring
BrigadIer General Jacob II. Smith.
as the result of the court-martial O.
that officer tor his famous "kill.
burn and Destroy order in the
Philippines, is said by eminent
military authority to be absolutely
illegal.
There is no doubt of the power Of
the President to retire General
Smith under the law on account OF
age, provided, however, that the
retirement is an act entirely sepa-
rate from the court-martial pro
ceedings. Under military law the
President IS given authority to re-
view and, if he so determines, to
mitigate the verdict of the court
martial, but he can not increase the
severity of the sentence. Yet this
is exactly what he has done in Gen.
Smiths case. He has taken the
verdict as the basis of his action,
in direct contraventioo of law. The
result, it is asserted by those famil-
lar with the military statutes, is to
yitiate the court-martial proceed
ings.
So directly at variance with the
legal requirements of the case has
been the Presidents course that it
is doubted whether the President S
Endorsement or Secretary Root S
letter was ever referred to the office
of the Judge Advocate General Of
the army, the opinion being that if
such reference had been made both
the Secretary and the President
would have been warned against
the error.
It is said that if the President
had desired to retire Gen. Smith he
should first have acted upon the
verdict of the court-martial. This,
it will be remembered, imposed the
milimum penalty of a reprimand
The President should have content
ed himself with expressing his dis
satisfaction with this verdict as
being inadequate for the offense
Then at a later date-even the
next day--he could have retired
Gen. Smith compulsorily.

TWO GAINESVILLE FAILURES.
Grocery Firm and a Florist Go To
The Wall.

James Morton, florist and propri-
etor of Evergreen Lodge, Clarks-
vile, made an assignment Monday,
naming Quint c. Atkinson assignee.
The liabilities are $4,675.12, with
assets consisting of his garden and
equipments, upon which are mort
cages to the amount of $4,000, and
accounts amounting to S424.60. The
failure is attributed to the hail
storm of a year ago, which devas-
tated the garden and greenhouses.
Fox & Nicholas, who for several
years have been conducting hard
ware and grocery business, also
assigned a few days ago. J. c.
Chatham was named as assignee,
THE liabilities are about $1,000.

The abuse of that delicate organ,
the eye, IS a prevalent sin of this
country. The Germans had a wise
saying, "Touch not the eye except
with your elbow. That is equiva-
lent to saying don t touch your eye
at all. Still further caution in ref
ereRce to the eye is illustrated ia
the experience Of those negligent
persons who gr0pG turoagh life
straining and running the sight in
stead of consulting upon the first
sign OF weakness, squirting or wat
ering. Another fatal mistake is
made by chnging too long to a tav-
orite pair Of glasses that may have
once suited the conditions of sight
and opened a new view of the world
and things present, but alas the
days have sped by and age has Sc
changed the retina as to render the
glasses worse than useless. Prop
erly adjusted glasses will most GER
tainly preserve the eye while any
other kind of glasses will be worse
than none at all.

CHARLES cox INSANE.
Claims CadiZ as His Home
Brought TO Asylum.

Darlington, Ky, July 22,-Chas.
Cox, who claims Cadiz, KY, as bis
home, came to Darlington a few
days ago and secured work with
the St. Bernard Mining Company.
He had been working three or four
days when his colaborers noticed
him acting strangely. Monday
morning he went to the st. Bernard
Office and asked for a gold watch
and a suit of clothes. Bookkeeper
Paul Price saw there was some
thing wrong with the man and hu-
mored him by saying he would fix
him up S soon as he had time. I"
Cox then went down stairs and
started up the Barnsley road on a
dead run and ran al the %%aay to
Barnsley, where he fell exhausted.
The city marshal of that place
brought him to Darlington and
turned him over to Marshal Smith,
who carried him to Madisonville to
be tried for lunacy. He was tried
this morning, declared insane and
sent to Hopkinsville on the after
noon train. His father, who was
present at the trial, wished to take
the boy home, but the court would
not permit it.

The Commercial Leauge is
bound to be source of great
good to our thriving little city,
Organizations of this kind are Of
vast more Importance to com
munity than many peopls notice.
An organization of this kind, es-
pecially when the proper men
are back of it, (such as compose
our own commercial league), is
without doubt a source Of com
mercial greatness. 1t is the
purpose of this league to be con-
tinually on the alert and ever
watchful for the advancement of
the community.
Now, what can bemore encour-
aging, and what bears with it the
very stamp of encouragement,
than when the commercial league
at it's meeting on Friday last,
unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, The city Of Jennings
is today the queen city that reigns
over the great fields of rice and
oil in the fair state of Louisiana,
and
Whereas, its natural resources
are becoming known throughout
the whole country, and as the
result its business and popula-
tionis daily increasing and manu-
facturers are fast locating within
her borders. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Jennings
Commercial League extend to
the manu- facturers Of this coun-
try an invitation to visit this
| magic city when looking for a
location and offers them freedom
from all parochial and municipal
taxation until
THE YEAR 1910.
It can be seen from 'the above
that our growing little city is
doing the proper thing. and ex:
tends the hand of welcome to all
institutions that are seeking tt
locate here. Jennings is proud
Of her commercial league and
will await further developments
