SOMETHING WRONG

Our sympathies are always out
for the man who is trying to do
business in community in the
face of great drawbacks Such a
man we place among the benefac
tors of community because in the
success of his efforts rests the pros
perity of his place
Our attention is now called to a
peculiar state of things existing be-
tween j. II, Fl Boyd, of Gage,
Tenn VINO is endeavoring to build
up nursery business, dealing prin
cipally in ornamental trees and
fora, and State Entomologist Mar
tin at Nashville This has been a
former controversy which appar,
emily was settled, but a new phase
arises, which we will let Mr. Boyd
explain in his own words;
'Some states require duplicate oerti-
hcates filed with the inspectors Of the
states before one can snip into them.
Martin issued my certificates from
Nashville late in December in 1901 and
1902 when should have had them be-
fore the 1st of November. This year
he came on time, said he had forgotten
his duplicate certificate book but issued
me a certificate good for this state and
few others whore laws are not so tight
BY the way those states requiring du-
plicates are where l sell the most stock.
Martin, although paid him five dollars
more than the law allowed him, and
after promising before four witnesses to
send my duplicates as soon as he return
ed home, refused, after he got there, to
send it unless l paid him $500 more.
This ! refused to do as he had treated
me so badly before. Then he notified
inspectors of other states that my stuff
was badly diseased.
II went to Knoxville two weeks age
to the agricultural station to examine
the law and see if could find any Law
to compel him to do his dlty. To Dc
so my friends at Knoxville spent day
on the matter and decided that the Law
was all in his flavor, and I could d.
nothing except with the Governor

1t is to be hoped that ere anoth-
er year rolls by the people OF Ser
quachee will wake up to realiza
ton Of the uses for which the town
hall were intended, and hold their
Christmas Tree within its walls.
The efforts of those patriotic peo-
pie who worked SO zealously and
self-sacrifcingly this year for the
building of the hall do not seem to
be appreciated much just now, but
if by some chance. which is not al
together impossible, the use of the
hall were denied the citizens, no
doubt there would be II sudden
awakening to the loss the town
would suffer. Having the pearl
within our gates, the envy Of plac'
es Of greatest size and Importance,
it is passing strange that we should
SO signally tail to appreciate it.

Oh, pity the lot of minister's wife; It Is sinful for her to be fair; She must not try to seem too sublime for this life,

 Whatever she does or may wear. If sha tries to be humble her sisters will
 say
 She poses and isn't sincere; .. If she shows that she's proud of her promi-

BRIGHTER

Some very interesting statements H. lustrative of what is being done in the South in behalf of southern education were made last week before the Ma tional Education Association by Wal lace Buttrick and Edgar G. Murphy, officers of the Southern Education Board. MT. Murphy in particular shed light on this question. At the close of the civil war. as he tersely put it, the South was expected to assume the edu- cation of two populations out of the poverty of one" Certainly the South was in desperate straits financially when the war closed, and, considering this fact, what the South has done since then to promote the education of it's masses rebounds to it's honor. The South had an arduous task confronting it, due to the sparseness of its popula- ton, the relative poverty of the rural regions and the great illiteracy of the blacks, coupled with their utter help lessness to share in the burden of the cost of schools. Many statistical facts were presented by Mir. Murphy in illus tration of these difficulties. The South has been accused of backwardness and neglect in this highly important matter of enlightening its illiterate population. But MT. Murphy's statements and sta- tistics present the matter in different aspect. The situation is a trying one, but light is breaking and the outlook is hopeful On this point MT. Murphy said: 'I find however, no hopelessness in the illiteracy of the South. because, as I have suggested, we are now mak- ing decisive reductions in it's volume. I find no hopelessness in it, because it is the i1literacy not of the degenerate, but simply of the unstarted. The crowning argument of our hopefuIness lies, how ever, in the educational enthusiasm of all our people. Alabama within five years has doubled her general appro- priations for public education. The masses of a sincere people are taught the great realities of order, liberty and culture not merely by what they have, but by what they long to have. The things that a whole people, in the pas sions of their sacrifice, have resolved to do are of more significance and of more importance in the history of a democ- racy than anything that they may have failed to do" 7;

ENTER pRFSE.

Scotland. bonnie Scotland. land of Burns, land of the heather and of brave men and bright women, is alive with the spirit of enterprise both of a private and public nature. An evidence of the latter,is the preparation of plans for the construction of ship canal between the Firth of Forth, on the Clyde on the west and these plans have been definitely arranged. The canal will cost $5O,0O0,ooO, but powerful SUD- port is expected from the British gov- ernment. One of the great engineering features of the scheme will be the car- rying of the canal through the high ground near the Loch Lomond end. Frequent passing places will be made.
 An indication os the saving in dist ance that would be effected by the canal will be gained from the following figures: From the Clyde to ports on the east coast of Scotland, northeast of Eng land, and northwest of Europe the dist ance saved would be from 529 miles to

2Ss miles. From the Firth of Forth to ports on the west coast of Scotland northwest of England. Ireland. America and the Mediterranean the distance saved would be from 4S7 to Al miles From Tyne ports to the St. Lawrence river the distance saved would be 15C miles. From the west of Britain and northeast os Ireland to middle western ports of the Continent the distance saw ed would be from BIT to 9S miles.
 The utility of such an enterprise seems fully apparent from the array of facts presented and the consummation of the project doubtless means much for the further prosperity of that country.

ENORMOUS.

It is but little while since electricity was first used as a motive power for street railroads but in those few years the development of electric railroad systems in this and other lands has been enormous. In this country in 1890 there were SIPS miles of single track age in these systems. In 1902 there were 22,577 miles, an increase of 177.94 per cent. In the twelve years the num- Der of fare-paying passengers carried per year increased from 2,023, 3,o1O, POP to 4,S09, ,554,43s. The capital represented in
 electric roads in 1902 was s2, 900, 900; the investments in them are among the best in the country. 5*
 And what a benefit the trolley roads are to the country towns as we'll as. to the cities big and little. The troll
 ley lines reaching through suburban
 and rural towns not so suburban, have
 become so numerous that in the thickly
 settled sections of the union there is
 network os them. The country town
 resident can easily go to and fro be-
 tween country towns and the cities and
 shopping and visiting calls are made
 easy. The rural towns keep ill closer
 touch with the cities and vice versa.
 The cooped Up city resident finds rec
 reation and recuperation in taking the trolley cars and getting out where the
 daisies grow and where the running
 brooks, the hay fields. the meadows and the orchards are. The country town woman can keep as we'll posted as to what the bargains and latest styles in hats and dresses are in the big city stores as can the city resident. Then too the residents of large cities can take extended and diversified troll ley trips within, a circle of twenty miles of their own doors and quicken their interest in ancient and historic places, note Improvements of import ance that are going on and view in a few hours great variety of lovely TO- mantle scenery. The trolley roads bring the people closer together and real rustic solitudes become fewer. And though there are cases here and there where the competition as to local traf- fic with the steam roads is acute, the general effect is of comparatively small importance.

BIC JIM" GOES HOME.
Interesting Chinaman Returns to Chi-

Interesting Chinaman Returns to Chi na-His History.
 When the China liner Gaelic sailed from this port yesterday for the Orient she carried among her passengers Chin Shin, the Chinese gambling king, who was best known as Big Jim," and who for years shared honors in the little | China of San Francisco with the late lamented Little Pete' in the manipu-
 lation of large gambling deals, shrwd
 business ventures and laring specula- tions. .5. Besides his white wife, who accompa- nied him on his trip to his native land, were the two Chinese wives of the willy gambling king and his grown son. Those who know Big Jim'' best say he is bidding farewell to America for ever, and as evidence of the truth of their assertion they point to the fact that in the past thirty days he has disposed of all his holdings here, including his vast lottery interests in Chinatown and his
 extensive realty holdings in Alameda and Fresno counties, and that he bids farewell to the city, carrying with him nearly a million dollars in American gold and currency. '.
 So quietly did Big Jim'' arrange for the sale of his property here and his ranches at Fresno and Pleasanton in Alameda county that only g. favored
 few knew of his deals until after the steamer sailed. Few, in fact, excepting his most intimate friends and Chinese business associates knew that he was in the city at all. For he only returned from the Orient few short months ago, after an absence of many years, and since his return he has remained quietly at his home on Sacramento street, near Stockton; has only ven- tured out on matters of business, and then never into the Chinese section of the city after dark. For he knew that years ago, when Little Pete" was as- sassinated, there was price put on his head. He had fled to China to escape the wrath of the highbinders, and while all this had been many years be- fore, the Chinese assassin never forgets, and Big Jim" was taking no chances.
 y, that Little Pete" was shot down and killed in barber-shop on Washington street by some unknown Chinese high binder, and the man who fired the shot has never been captured. His friends did not suspect Big Jim' of the actual killing, but as he was interested in a number of rival lottery enterprises and was considered an enemy of the dead
 man, who would be most interested and benefited by putting him out of the way, a price was put upon his head. News of this came to Big Jum'' through prominent men in the See Yup society, and he lost no time in leaving the city for his ranch in Fresno. He remained there for a short time, thinking that the trouble here would blow over and he might return, but his friends ad-
