JEFFERSON MEMORIAL
Organization Of Association
for This Purpose.
DEWEY IS PRESIDENT
PROMINENT NATIONAL AND
STATE OFFICIALS MADE OFFICERS
Success of Movement to Honor Author
of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence Now Assured.
DEWEY IS PRESIDENT

After several months of quiet but very
effectuM work the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal Association of the United States Is
now complete In its list of officers, every
state being represented by a vice president,
and in some cases by a representative on
the board of governors, the controlling
body.
No great movement of similar character
ever before inaugurated in this country, it
is understood. had as its officers more men
of national character and influence than
this association. the sole purpose of which
IS the erection at the national capital of an
appropriate memorial to the author of
the Declaration of Independence" none ex-
listing here or elsewhere. There are a num-
Der of statues OF Jefferson. but in almost
every instance they are tributes to him as
a partisan. 1t is said there has never been
q memorial to his memory the writer of
that great paper declaring the independence
OF the American colonies.
The association Is thoroughly non-parti-
san. and II is expected 1t will so remain.
The people in charge OF the movement be-
lieve they have good evidence of this In the
list of officers. all Of whom have formally
accepted by letter. with many notable ex-
pressions of approval.
In a few days the president OF the asso-
citation. Admiral George Dewey, will issue
an address to the American people setting
forth the aims and object of the movement
and also making an appeal for contribu-
lions from the young and the old.
Although the character and probable cost
of the proposed memorial have not beer
determined upon. yet II Is the consensus Of
opinion that 1t will be structure of con
siderable proportions and of classic archi
lecture. fully in keeping with the grea
character of the man and the importanc,
of the document he penned.

GREAT SCHEME TO
CATCH TAX DODGERS
Representative viii Introduce Bill When
the Legislature Meets in


Representative-elect w. II. Burnett
of Highland county has laid trap for
tax-dodgers. If the next assembly will
only see things his way, he proposes to
call the holders of notes and mort
cages to time and compel them to list
their securities for taxation.
His plan is not for additional tax in
quisitors, but is along entirely new
lines. He would so amend the laws
on commercial papers as to provide
that note to be collected must bear
the stamp of the assessor each year
from the date of making.
This would mean that the man who
held note for $1,000 and failed to
turn it in to the assessor for taxation
could not legally collect the 'ebt in a
court of law because II would not be
a legal paper without the stamp Of the
assessor showing that its owner placed
a value upon it and considered it as
an asset.
Mr.. Burnet thinks that such
law would result in the discovery of
most of the paper now in hiding from
assessors.- Citizen.

ing.
Mr.. Hughes said that the club is reg

such games as are played goes into the
club treasury to defray club ex-
penses.

Irrigation.

Would you know some OF the adVah-
tages which irrigation brings the agri-
culturist and horticulturist? Listen!
1t saves his crops from drought and
floods.
Water is the life of the soil. By irri-
CATION that life can be supplied exactly
when needed and in exactly the proper
measure.
1t makes the farmer the master of his
business. He does not have to delay
blowing and planting until the soil dries
or until it rains.
1t is his obedient agent. When crop
begins to suffer for rain, he applies the
remedy without waiting for the whims
of clouds and winds.
Through it he pla' IS early, keeps the
crop growing all the time, harvests ear
ly, and of several varieties of plants he
can raise two or three crops from the
same land in a single season.
In the arid belt he is able to harvest
his whole crop; leaving it in the field
without danger of loss. before housing
or stacking it.
Where more moisture is needed for a
certain soil and less for another. he can
exactly supply the wants of each.
1t is the same when one crop requires
much moisture and another but little
Suppose fifty acres of land are re-
quired to pasture fifty animals. The
eastern farmer turns his stock in the
field and leaves them TO rustic. II the
season is a dry one the pasture is soon
eaten off and the animals suffer. On an
irrigated farm a fence would divide the
field in halves. On Monday morning
the stock would be turned into one field
the other would be irrigated. On the
one side there would be good pasture
for a week, on the other there would be
given fresh start to the grass; the
water would be turned off, the surface
would have five days to harden. On the
second Monday the animals would sbe
turned into the other field amid luxuri-
ant vegetation and the first pasture
would be irrigated.
Thus they would alternate and in the
autumn after dry summer the animals
would be ready for market.
The crops on irrigated soil are per
feet for they are not affected by drouths
or floods.
1t is cheaper, better. safer than rain.
When the ground is prepared, the cost
of irrigation is but a small factor.
Irrigation is science easily acquired.

Gen. Grant In New Light.

Col. George Inman, civil engineer,
who was an engineer in the Union
army with Grant in front of Peters
burg in 1S64.65, as colonel of engi-
neers, now engaged on some public
work near Richmond, told this story
of U. S. Grant to group of Confed-
crate veterans, ex-officers, there re-.
Gently.
In the winter of 1864 Captain
Hamilton, OF the Confederate army,
was captured within the Federal lines,
and there were found on his person
papers which clearly indicated that he
had penetrated the lines for the pur-
pose Of gaining information for Gen.
Lee. He was courtmartialed and was
at once condemned to be hanged at
sunrise the next day. Colonel Ham
ilton, who was in command Of cavsl-
~ regiment, under General Grant,
was charged with the duty of furnish
ing the detail which was 20 execute
the sentence Of the court.
The night Of the day on which the
court pronounced the sentence on
Captain Hamilton, Colonel Inman
went to General Grants tent to see
him on matter connected with the
operations against the Confederstes.
He had been in the tent for some
time when the orderly announced,
Colonel Hamilton" A soldierly
appearing officer entered and saluted.
Before General Grant had time to
speak the Colonel said in hard tones:
General, I cannot obey the order to
spy tomorrow morning."
General Grant started az if shot.
"Why not" he said in sharp tones.
The Colonel was silent. He stood
with barred head, dropped on his bos-
om. General Grant again asked why
he refused to obey his order, and this
time there was sharpness in his tone
which was not there before. Colonel
Hamilton raised his head and looked
ahe eommander.in.ohieR full in che
2eee. y.
General, that man is my only
SON."
General Grant looked his officer in
she face for o momeut. Then he
turned his back. The Colonel re.
mained standing and silent, uncovered
and his head bowed. Then General
Grant wheeled around and said in Q
harsh voice:
"Colonel Hamilton, you will obey
your ORDERS"
The Colonel saluted and Left she
tent.
Colonel Inman remembered that the
next morning the detail charged with
the duty Of hanging the spy went TO
the tent, and when the sentry enter.
ed it was found that there was nobody
inside.
About ten years afterward Colonel
