Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have a

They gently force the flow of fresh

They contain, themselves, many of the

M'REYNOLDS MAY GET
TENNESSEE JUDGESHIP

1t is said that James c. McReynolds,
who is an assistant attorney IN the De-
partment of Justice, may be appointed
Judge of the Federal Court at Memphis
to succeed the late Judge Hammond.
Mr.. McReynolds is q gold Democrat and
a lawyer of high ability.
Representative Brownlow, who usually
runs things down in Tennessee among
the Republicans, has indorsed John Z.
Mccall. who is Collector of Internal
Revenue at Nashville But President
Roosevelt has made it apparent that he
is going to take some hand in appoint
ments himself and not depend so much
on the advice of Representatives
This was made manifest in the case of
the appointment of j. E. B. Stuart to
be United StaSes marshal for the East
ern district of Virginia. The Republican
leaders of the State were not consulted
at all and were surprised at the ap-
pointment.
Therefore it may be that Mr. Brown
low may be turned down.

CELLAR DOORS NEEDED

Today DR.. Woodward, Health Officer,
replied to the letter sent to the Com
missioners yesterday by August Peter
son. charging the Health Department
with failing to enforce the smoke law.
This is the second response from the
Health Department to statements made
by Mr.. Peterson.
Does Not Fix Fines
In regard to the attitude of the Police
Court in the prosecution of violations
of the smoke law in the Chaplin Street
houses, DIR. Woodward says: :.
The Health Department had nothing
to dc with fixing the amounts of fines
imposed and collaterals forfeited in the
cases referred to in Mr.. Peterson-s let
ter.
The prosecutions which it has
brought against the responsible persons
connected with the Chaplin apartment
house, in which fines have been imposed
and col1aterals forfeited, would. under
the law, have permitted the collection
of fines and collaterals amounting to
s7O0, and the two cases, in which only
as late as October 3, the court did not
deem the situation serious enough TO
require the imposition of penalty. but
merely took the personal bonds of the
defendant, were sufficient to authorize
under the law the imposition of fines
amounting to 500 more

Administration Not Satisfactory.

He also denies that the Health Depart
ment has ever claimed there is a satts-
factory administration of the smoke law
and says attention has been repeatedly
called to the fact that one smoke inspec-
tor cannot satisfactorily enforce the law.
He announces that inspections by di-
rection Of the Health Department have
repeatedly failed to show the unlawful
emission OF any smoke whatsoever from
the Chaplin or from the Berkshire apart
ment houses. He adds:
''It may be possible that if the inspec-
tor could have remained for an indefi-
mite period observing the apartment
houses unlawful smoke might have been
discovered but the inspector had other
duties to perform than keeping under
observation the apartment houses in

SCARBOROUGH WITHDRAWs.
Congressman Scarborough An
nounces His Retirement From
the Race for e-eIection.

Conway, June ia sensation was
created this evening when Congress
man Scarborough authorized the an
nouncement of his unqualified with
drawal o. his candidacy to succeed
himself in Congress. This news will
be received throughout the district
with surprise; in fact, 1T comes as a
thunderclap from a clear sky to those
who did not know of conditions and
movements pending. There has been
no doubt among his friends about his
reelection, nor did Congressman Scar
borough doubt it himself. However,
he has watched with interest, grow
ing greater day by day, the marvellous
future of this region as it unfolded.
He has slowly come to the conclusion
that it is worth all Of any mans time
to devote it to the great trucking
movement now in force. 1t is the best
evidence yet furnished of what lies IN
this region that Congressman Scarbor-
ough was willing to give up his place
in Congress to aid in pushing forward
the immigration movement. He is on
the spot and he knows. The opportu-
nifty is too great to permit of delay.

MILLIONS ARE LOST
BY PLANT DISEASES.
Revelations of Agricultural De-
partment's Report for 1903.

Washington, June 12.-The destruc-
tion wrought on crops by countless
plant enemies throughout the country
is revealed by a report issued by the
department of agriculture on PLANT
Diseases in 1903.''
It shows that the coffee leaf blight
has accidentally been introduced into
Puerto Rico and measures are being
taken to stamp it out.
The tomato blight has practically
ruined tie tomato crop Of Puerto Rico
and potato root rot has caused lose
of nearly the entire potato crop.
The cotton rootrot in Texas prevail
ed to a greater extent than for mauy
years, the loss being estimated at
about So, 600, coo.
Anthractnose has been generally pre-
valent from North Carolina to Georgia
and locally injurious, especially to
sea island cotton in south Georgia.
Wilt continues to spread slowly and
now occurs in limited areas in North
Carolina and South Carolina and is
widely prevalent in South Georgia and
southeastern Alabama, in connection
with root rot. Rust occurred as usual
on the poorer soils and was unusually
severe in Texas.
The potato blight and rot caused
widespread destruction, being espe-
cially enormous in New York, Penn
sylvania. eastern Ohio, Michigan and
Wisconsin.
The damage is estimated at $40, ,0C0,-
600 for the season in New York alone.
The black rot of grape was more gen
eral in Connecticut and Rhode Island,
the loss being 40 per cent. The de-
partment is obtaining promising re-
suits in its efforts to discover resist
ant vine. Die-back among the citrus
fruit diseases in Florida is less de-
structive than before 1903. Rice blast
occurred in the Cooper river section of
South Carolina, where the crop was
over 100, 600 bushels short. The loss
from the spread of this disease in the
past six years is estimated at 81, l,GoO,-
900.
Watermelon wilt is spreading in the
south and cantalou pc leaf blight was
injurious, especially in the south, the
loss in Floria being 40 per cent. To-
mato bacterial wilt was found in Con-
necticut and it was serious in New
Jersey and Maryland and wlssp1ead in
the south. The fusarium wilt in Flor
ida caused loss of $500, 600 and large
as.of land also had to be thrown
out Of cultivation.
Cucumber downy mildew caused
large losses in Florida and the truck
ing section near Charleston. where the
estimated loss was 500, 600.
The bitter rot of apples has been
widespread and included Virginia, the
Carollnas and Georgia.
Iu the south pear blight is universal
and little effort is made to control it.
here was an epidemic OF pear leaf
blight that defoliated trees from Mary
land southward.
Brown rot was very destructive to
southern peaches, the loss amounting
to from 35 to 60 per cent, OF the crop
in Georgia. Peach leaf curl seems to
cause immense losses each year IN
spite of the ease of controlling it by
