The Hermitage at st. Louis.

To the People of Hardeman
County-The Legislature appropria-
ted $4,000 at its last session for
exhibits of Tennessee at the Worlds
Fair in st. Louis in 1904, but this
appropriation was SO fixed that it
could not be used for building in
which to place these exhibits. Pa
triotic citizens of the state have
started subscription to reproduce
the Hermitage as a state building,
and they have effected an organiza
ton by the name of the Tennessee
Worlds Fair Association, for the
purpose of organizing the people all
over the state to raise an additional
$4,000 for reproducing the Her
mitage. West Tennessee will be
expected to raise $4,000 of this
amount. l have been appointed
County Commissioner of this coun-
ty and my duty is to appoint COM
mitteemen for each town to solicit
funds for this purpose. l can't do
anything without the aid of the
people of the county, and l feel
sure they will respond literally to
this cause. Andrew Jackson is in
history the greatest son of Tennes-
see, and his home, the Hermitage,
the most beautiful of old Southern
residences. It's reproduction will
be an ornament to the Exposition
and all honor to Tennessee. Res
pond literally by your contribu-
tions when the working committee
calls on you. Don't let every other
county in the state excel this.
Yours truly,
NJ. L. WEBB,
County Committeeman,

He learned a Great Truth.

1t is said of John Wesley that he
once said to Mistress Wesley.
"Why do you tell that child the
same thing over and over again"
John Wesley, because oace telling
is not enough" 1t is for this same
reason that YOU are told again and
again that Chamberlain Cough
Remedy cures colds and grip; that
it counteracts any tendency of these
diseases to result in pneumonia, and
that it is pleasant and safe to take.

The seat Of volcanic action. Of course would sup
ply all the necessary heat An additional link in the
chain has now been forged. DR.. George F Kunz,
who IS with Tiffany & Co. mentions it in a report
on precious stones. printed by the United States
Geological Survey.
1t has now been demonstrated that carbon can
be dissolved in melted silicates and afterward
crystaIlized. Experiments have been conducted
separately by Hasslinger Ludwig. Luce and Fried
lander. In some instances the product was that
form of carbon which is known graphite. IN
others. diamonds. which were exceedingly small.
but were genuine, resulted.
DR.. Kuuz mentions another Circumstance which
may have a bearing on this question. In 4 re-
port Brazilian diamonds the United States
Consul at Bahia. H ". Furniss. says that these
stones are occasionally found in pieces or granite
or gneiss that badly disintegrated. The state
ment needs corhrma ton but if II be fully estab-
Hshed the biologists will need to explain how the
diamonds came be there. Still. it does not look
If the discredited meteoric theory would
gain any support from the alleged discovery.
How thoroughly the volcanic hypothesis is ac-
cepted in Canada is illustrated by discussion
which is pending there The few diamonds found
in the northern part Of the United States and in
the Dominion were apparently brought thither by
glacial gravel from some spot in higher ATTITUDES.
One set Of biologists suspect that they may have
come from region east Of Hudson's Bay. while
others fancy that they did not travel so far. But
they al agree in pointing TO localities where there
have been volcanic intrusons through shale

their birth that no satisfactory clews could be OBJ
