FEBRUARY n,
Washington's Birthday.

One hundred and seventy-one
years ago next Sunday, the
Father of this country first
opened his eyes to the light of
this world and so enduring and
wide spread is his fame, that
in every civilized country. on
earth this day will be cell
ebrated in some manner. Min
listers of the gospel will dwell
with fervor on his religious
life in their sermons; States
men and politicians will laud
his civil virtues and extol his
political ideas at the formal
banquet and the scarcely less
formal public dinner; school
teachers on Friday or Satur-
day will speak to their pupils
of his child life and the gradual
development of those qualities
of heart and brain which in
later years made him the I'M
apprOacha BILE character he was,
the typical soldier, the model
citizen, the prophetic states
man and the honest politician.
And it is well that all these
things should be done, but it
would be far better if all those
having in charge the welfare
of the nation founded by his
genius and craftsmanship
would lay to heart, and put
into practice the suggestions
made in his farewell address
for insuring the perpetuity,
the prosperity and the happi-
ness of this people.
Could this be done, we would
have no more of the unseemly
striving for mere party advan-

We know that you know that
it is cold; that we have just
had one of the worst billiards
that we have suffered in years,
and, as news, we do not attempt
to tell you of that which you
so we'll know, but just mention
the fact of our having the heavy
snow and below-zero weather

Mr.. E. w. Lillard, who has
been Manager of the Column
bia Printing Co., and Editor
of the Danville News, has
sold his interest in the paper
to w. r. Embry and w. V.
Richardson. Under Mr.. Lii
lard's management, the News
has become one of the best
county papers of the State;
and, while we regret to learn
of his leaving the newspaper
field, we are glad that two
such able men as Embry and
Richardson have secured the
paper.

Tobacco Growers Meet.

Mr.. John Bodkin, of Shell
byville, was here Monday to
talk with the tobacco growers
of the county, and to interest
them in the Tobacco Growers
Association. Had it been a
day that the farmers could
have come to town without
Drawing a blizzard, the court
house would not have held
them, but the weather kept
them at home; and, while the
meeting was very enthusi-
astic one, so large a crowd as
was expected was not present.
So wrought up over the
"bunco" game that the grow
ers have had to go against in
selling their crops this year,
twenty-five or thirty of them
were willing to come through
any kind of weather to PROM
Use their support to the new
organization that promised
them some protection from
these Louisville ''grafters"
that had in the past taken
their crops at prices to suit
themselves. From the inter-
est shown here, and in other
parts of the State, we cannot
believe that there is to-day a
sane farmer or grower OF
tobacco in Anderson county
but who will give this organ
ization his support. Of this
Mr.. Ben. Franklin was
made Chairman, E. H. Bowen,
Secretary, and Mr.. John

The Association will meet in
Lexington on the Goth of this
month, and delegates from all
counties in the State will be .
there. Many of those present
took stock in the new

from 5000 to $4,000. The fol-

Martin, a school teacher at
'Thayer, ILL.,, saved the lives of
fifty children by dropping
them from the second-story
window, which crippled many
of them for life, though no
lives were lost. We repeat
the above as read from the pa
pers Tuesday, thinking that it
might call to mind the fact
that there is not a day but
what the children of Lawrence
burg have the same opportu-
mites of meeting such a fate
at the dilapidated old shack"
that we have for a city school
building. By this lady sue
ceeding in saving these
young lives, we judge that
the building was of brick, and,
such being the case, she had
plenty of time to save the lit
tie folks; but, were a fire to
start in the old building we
have, it would burn like so
much powder, and there would
be little chance to rescue any,
body. "Oh, our house is all
right; there is no danger"
you say. Yes, and that is
what the fathers and mothers
of Thayer, ILL.,, thought on
last Tuesday morning, when
they filled the lunch baskets
and kissed their little loved
ones goodbye for the day, and
which came so near being for.
ever. Now is the time to
think about this matter and
start in to erect a building
that will insure safety and be
pride to our city.
You say we are advocating
too many Improvements. IT'S
true that we advocate many
Improvements. But, have we
advocated anything that is
not needed? Look at our
neighboring towns, and then
look at our own and say, if
you can, but what we are
right. But, you say, these
things cost money. To be
sure they do! You are not la
boring under the impression
that some Carnegie is going
around giving our neighbor-
ing towns their water-works,
electric lights, courthouse,
opera-house, turnpikes, city
school buildings, ETC., are you?
We believe that some of you
are laboring under that i'm
preston, when we hear your
kicks on public improvements.
If we are right, help us to
fight for that which you know
is right, and, if we are wrong,
drop us a line, explaining why,
and we will try to right the
wrong we have done.

TEXAS CROP UNCERTAIN.
Late Spring and Cool Weather Has
 Injured Cotton.

Houston, Tex, June 17.--On the cot ton crop report the Post tomorrow will say:
 At l date so late crop was never more uncertain than the present one. The late spring and cool weather in many eases has caused replanting in May and to such an extent that the plant is about month behind time. While the favorable start has been destroyed, much moisture has put a good season in the ground and with good weather for growing in July and August big yield can be made, even on the present stand
 The increased acreage, which may reach per cent, promises to play an important part. The northern and western portions of the state, where the boil weevils have not appeared, furnish the greater part or the increase, while in southwestern counties, where the insect has been most destructive, the acreage is slightly smaller.

New York June 17.-Twenty-one horses are announced as starters in the Subur- ban handicap tomorrow, and 1t seems likely that the race will be run over muddy track with strong probability of rain. Every sunny hour between the downpours of the last two weeks has been utilized to rake and dry the Subur- ban course and 1t Is not likely to be heavy, in spite of the rain.
 On the eve of the great race D. R. Thomas, the young millionaire recent re- cruit to the turf, has furnished another sensation by purchasing the control of Jockey Rice from l.. V. Bell. MT. Thomas Is said to have paid $5OOO for Rice's con- tract, which runs for two years The boys salary, 1t is said will be $10,OOO a year. He rode Hermis in all of his vic- tories last year, but the most frequent comment on his riding was that the horse won in spite of the jockey.
 The starters named for the big race, their weights and probable jockeys for the Suburban follow:
 Hermis, 128 (Rice;; Major Dangerfield. 123 (Bullman); Goldsmith, 116 (Burns); Col.

MACHEN TO BE INDICTED
 ON A CHARGE OF FORGERY

Washington, June 17.--It Is believed the grand jury will shortly be asked by the postoffice authorities to find another in- dictment against A. w. Machen, the for mer superintendent of the free delivery service. The charge. 1t is said, will be for gerry based on the cashing of a check for $369 drawn by the cashier of the New York postoffice in favor of Henry L.. Lorenz of Toledo. O. MT. Lorenz has de- clared that the signatures both on the check and voucher accompanying it are forgeries. He declares that he has not received a cent of the money and has no knowledge of the transaction.
 The forgery with which Machen is charged is alleged to have occurred in 1894. when Henry L. Lorenz, as a commis-

 MT. Hepburn does not Incline to this opinion owing to his preferences for the Nicaragua route but because of the fact that the French concession over the Pan- anna property expires next year. It then reverts to the Colombian government. If this country is still bent upon the con-

The check on which Machen is accused of endorsing Lorenz' name was issued on a voucher drawn on the post master at New York. As MT. Lorenz was going away on a confidential mission, a request was made that the cash should be sent to MT. Machen to be delivered to Lorenz. On account of irregularities in the voucher the check was sent instead, and this check, bearing Lorenz' endorse ment, was cashed at bank in this city. These facts were brought out at con- gressional investigation. but MT. Machen said at the time that the signature was that of Lorenz
 The general impression at the court house is that the indictment and possibly others will be returned before the close of the present week.

struction of the waterway through the Panama route it has only the Colombian government to deal with, and the scandal befogged forty million-dollar concession of the French company is eliminated.
 Mr. Hepburn thinks the present treaty is not by any means the most favorable which the United States could obtain. Even eliminating the consideration of the Nicaragua canal and granting that the Panama route is the only one available, he believes the United States would next year be in position to deal with Colom- tia for a new treaty under far more ad- yantageous circumstances.
