HUGH WILLIAMS, EDITOR.
FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1903.

SENSATIONAL news comes from
Memphis via. Knoxville. Under a
Memphis date line of July 9th, the
Knoxville Sentinel states that there
is an open breach between the Mem
phis Morning News and the Com
mercial Appeal, which has resulted
in formal challenge to arms, an
acceptance, but prevented by inter
ference Of the law. The would be
duelists are w. J. Crawford, of the
Commercial Appeal, and A. G..
Floyd, of the Morning News. Ac'
cording to the Sentinel, the brand
that ignited the fire of beligerency
was a special dispatch from Nash
vile, published in the Commercial
Appeal of July LIST, criticising GER
tain members of the Supreme Court
of Tennessee in regard to the distri-
button of political patronage. The
News severely criticised the Com
mercial Appeal for publishing the
dispatch and defended the court.
The Commercial Appeal replied,
accusing the editorial department
of the News with having associated
with thieves and criminals for the
purpose of Matchmaking the people
of Memphis, and the business de-
-partment was charged with obtain
ing money from Memphis merchants
by making false pretense as to cir
culation. In the following issue of
the News, the charge made by the
Commercial Appeal was denied,
and the Commercial was charged
with being the mouthpiece of the
Memphis Street Railway, etc. This
article is said TO have brought about
the challenge from Crawford to
Floyd. The time and place were
selected, Sunday morning, Robin
sonville, Miss, seconds chosen, etc.
The start for the grounds had been
made, when the officers of the law
interfered, arresting combatants
and seconds and placing Crawford
and Floyd under peace bonds of
$4,000 each, Crawford proposed to
forfeit his bond and continue to
Robinsonville, and went to the depot
to take the train for that place.
Floyd consulted with his bondsmen,
who declined to consent to a for
fixture, notifying Crawford to that
effect. Thus the incident has
closed. Our newspaper friends
should try TO keep cool during this
warm weather.

portion of this very rainy day il
writing for the amusement of my
friends in old Hardeman.
We now feel assured that oul
corn crop will be abundant,
for which we ought to be very
thankful. This is becoming grain
and stock country. People shil
fat hogs by the car load to various
packing houses in the state and ge
good prices for them. Horses
mules, cattle and poultry are al
shipped from our town and bring
good prices. Our cotton is a month
later than usual this season. Cotton
has two enemies to contend with
here-the boil worm and the boil
weevil. The worm comes first and
strips off the crop, the weevil re-
mains until frost. Cotton will put
on half bale to the acre in ten days,
and the weeviI generally leaves us
about that amount. Oats were
light, ranging from twenty to fifty
bushels per acre. Millet and other
forage crops are good.
l made little visit over in Bell
county recently and saw beautiful,
rolling prairie country, dotted over
with farm houses and extensive
fields of ripening grain. Land there
is worth from twenty to fifty dollars
per acre.
Our population seems to be mixed
multitude and. every age seems to be
represented. For instance, we have
Cain and Able, Abraham and Lot,
and others almost as remote. The
animal kingdom is represented to
some extent, for it is very common
to see Deer and Campbell roaming
the streets at will and Lions put in
an appearance occasionally, and
another remarkable fact is that there
is Bull here who drinks whiskey.
We don't have any sheep here, but
Mr.. Woody is a prominent citizen.
We claim to be peaeeable people,

A MYSTIFYING TRICK.
Now to Make q Bottle Stand Upright
One Minute and Have 1t Fall
Down the Next.

Get a piece of pith, paper pulp, or
some other light substance, three OF
four inches in length, and about half
an inch in diameter and trim it into the
shape of a bottle.
Cut a bullet in two and fasten the
bottom of the bottle to the fiat side o.
one of the halves. Make hole down
through the center Of the bottle, and
provide a piece of heavy wire to slip
into the hole easily, with its end out Of
sight. You can make the hole more
readily before attaching the half bullet
The. bullet must be covered neatly
with paper, so that 1t will not be no,
ticed, and the whole device should be
painted, as this will serve to conceal the
trick.
Now, you tell the onlookers that the
bottle will obey your commands. and
having ordered 1t to stand up. you
place it on the table without inserting the
wire, when nothing will keep it from an
upright position, but holding 1t down.
1t is the weight Of the bullet, you see
that keeps it standing.
Then you order it to lie fiat on the
table, and rs you take it in your hands
to give the order you deftly insert the
