PRODUCES OF THE SOIL.
Exeep;;enaIIy Interesting Exhibition
in Floral Hall

in Floral Hall
Barring the fact that many of the
products shown have not yet reached
maturity, the showing made this year
of horticultural and agricultural exhib-
it's is probably the best that stands to
the credit of the fair association.
Because of the fact that the fair is
held fully three weeks earlier than
usual, it was impossible to secure ripe
specimens of fruits, vegetables and
cereals, but those shown give ample
testimony to the excellence of the
crops of which they formed a part,
and also afforded an excellent oppOr-
tunity to judge of the value Of the or
chards, fields and gardens from which
they were obtained.
AS on former occasions, c. |. Card
ner is in charge of this part of the fair
and has displayed his wonted good
taste and artistic skill in arranging
the exhibits and in attending to the
decorative effects. Some decidedly
original and very pleasing results
have followed his efforts in this direc-
ton.
Because of the large number of ex-
hibitors it is possible that in tho
haste necessary to compile the fol.
lowing short account of the different
individual displays some may have
been overlooked, although every pre-.
caution to avoid this was exercised:
Five large shelves 10 feet long are
covered by the display of S. G. Toll
liver in exhibiting his grain, vegetables
and fruit, which latter comprises Der.
ries of various sorts, as well as apples
and other hardy varieties.
Mr.. Tolliver has something new in
the way of a turnip that he shows
with much pride, claiming it to be
%unexcelled as stock feed. He also
successfully proves what may be done
when attempt is made to cultivate
some of the native wild fruit, by tx
|hibiting branches of fruit taken from
a burberry bush, the cultivation Of
which he has undertaken.
l:ank Zimmerman pridss himself
on his exhibit of pumpkins of colossal
growth, as we'll as other varieties of
vegetables.
In the way of oats, S. H. Hastings
has a display that elicits much praise
of a we'll merited nature. Mr.. Peck
is another who is making a magnifi-
cent exhibit of this cereal. He shows
oats that harvested $40 bushels from
an eight-acre field and weighing 40
pounds to the measured bushel.
Competitors for prizes in exhibits of
vegetables are running one another
hard and it will be difficult for the
judges to decide as to who has the
best. A. Frederickson, A. v. Cardwell,
F. Algeo, G. H. Frady, w. F. Snyder,
T. F. Moore, George Vaughan, Mr..
Flanagan, Mr.. Peterson and J. ]. Da.
Wis are the leaders in this department.
Mr. Frederickson has entered for gen.
eral display and exhibits about every
thing a garden can produce in this
latitude and altitude. Potatoes of a
quality that is seldom equalled are
displayed by each of these gentlemen.
Each has his pet variety and believes
ldt to be superior to all others. Mr..
Peterson has the satisfaction of show.
ing the only ripe tomatoes to be
seen. Something like so different
kinds Of fruits and vegetables are ex.
hibited by Mr.. Davis.
Jacob Wallace shows a tempting lot

and mo, and the voter must indicate
his wish by a cross mark. If he
DOES NOT MARK HIS BALLOT II
COUNTS ''NO." Where the Do1tch
Law does not apply no mark is neces-
sary unless the voter wishes to vote
against one or more amendments. In
I nat even he must scratch or marx
lem out exactly as he would the name
of an Objectionable candidate. A ma
io1ity of all votes cast for Representa-
tiyes in the General Assembly Is neces-
sary to ADOPT, even il none is cast IN
opposition.
| All OF these amendments were propos-
ed by the legislature of 1901 and were
| published at the time in newspaper
and in the legislative journals, and
again in the newspapers SIX months
before the election of Representatives
TO the next legislature. Other amend
ments were proposed, but only these
seven received the necessary two -th1rds
of both houses in 1903, and are now
submitted to the people to be ratified
or rejected at the general election In
| November.
Since each of these proposed amend
! ments bias been carefully considered
and passed by two successive sessions
of the Legislature, it is clearly evil
dent that majority of those men who
have had best opportunity for study
ing these propositions and conditions
which make them desirable, believe
thew are in the interest OF better
government.
Our present State Constitution is a
| most excellent document. 1t was for
mulated in 1870 when conditions we've
such that the best men of the State &C.
copied the responsibility and give their
best thought to the subject. Expert
e3ce and changed conditions make q
few changes desirable, bur the greater
part of the present constitution could
not be improved upon. The question
of calling a constitutional convention
was submitted to the people in 1897,
but the overwhelming majority in op-
position showed clearly that the people
OF Tennessee do not desire any radical
changes in our system OF government.
The beauty OF the amendment plan Of
ma ling such minor change in detail as
experience and changed conditions may
demand, is, that each amendment il
considered on it's own merits and IL
independent of all others.

GEORGE OWEN
Shoots and Fatally Wounds ''kId'
Green at M. Pleasant.
VICTIM IS A NEGRO.
Gives As Reason For HIS Act That
Green Had Been Doing Some
Big Talking.
OWEN LODGED IN JAIL.

A negro named kid Green was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded in
Mt. Pleasant Thursday night by white
man named George Owen. 1t has
been difficult to get at the particulars
but from what can be learned the
shooting was unprovoked. owen is
said to have gone TO cabin IN whlcn
were Green ana several other negroes
about IL O'Clock, and without word
drew his pistol and shot Green, the
ball peTfoIating the bowels and pass
ing clear through him. Deputy Sheriff
Walter FoIgey, who was IN Mt. Pleas
ant was called up by phone and notl-
fed of the shooting and he went at
once on the HINT or Owen and about 2
O'Clock found him in Ted with his
pistol under his pillow. Only one
chamber was empty, ne having hred
nut one shot at the negro. he offered
no resistance and was brought here
early Friday morning by Deputy Forgey
and lodged in Jail. When Owen was
asked why he shot Green he said 1T
was for some big talk he had been
doing. The pistol with which the
shooting WAS done was 4l-call Dre
Colts and is now Ill the possession OF
Deputy FoIgey. Green was porter for
Blount Bros. at Mt. Pleasant. He is
desperately wounded and the ply
sicians give on hope whatever for his
recovery. The examining trial will
not be set until the result OF Green
injuries are determined. Owen is a
Young man, unmarried, and seems to
be pretty handy with his pistol, having
dangerously snot negro about
vAar ago.

4 DISCUSSION
OF the Proposed Amendments
to the Constitution of
Tennessee.

Hon. W. B. Romine. author of three
of the seven amendments to the constr :
tuition to be voted on at the election
next Tuesday. has furnished the fol-
lowing argument in their favor:
First Amendment.
The effect of the first amendment, If
ratified, is to make the Governor s
term of office four years. This is IN
response to the general demand fer
fewer elections and would give the
Governor more time for the lmportat
duties of his office. Instead of spend
ing several months in campaign
every two years, the Governor could
devote his time to official duties and
the interests of the State.
AS it is now, we have general elec-
ton IN August every two years and
another in NovemheI. making two
general elections every two years. Ii
the inst and third amendments are
ratified we will have one general cleo
ton in August every four years ano
one in Novem beI, making one genera
election every two years OF course
we will still have legislative and con-
OCCASIONAL elections as heretofore. But
in some counties and districts one
party or the other is so largely in the
majority that the election is little
more than matter of form. and does
not agitate the people and disturb BUS
mess like general elections.
Second Amendment.
The second amendment makes the
Secretary of,.-State elective by the
people. dnnsGces should be filed oy
direct vote u the people unless there IL
some good reason for having the az
pointment made otherwise. And there
is now no such reason as to TINS oiiico'
Besides, it costs the State about .
thousand dollar day to elect oy the
legislature and the contest IL ofteh
drawn out through several days. but
the worst feature of Legislative eieo
ton is the fact that the Legislature Is
thereby divided into antagonistic rae
lions earlv IN the session and rivalry
and bitterness is aroused when oi'ei'
\ lasts throughout the session anu
greatly ,nterferes with wholesome iee
islation. TO elect by the people at
general election would not cost the
State a dollar and the Legislature wou'o
not be divided into antagonistic rae
tons by rival candidates.
Third Amendment.
The third amendment makes tine
terms of Sheritis and Trustees iou'
Years and proyides that these othcei'
and Registers shall not Immediately
succeed themselves. This amennmeh.
makes the number and expense VI
August elections just half what the,
are now, and gives to these ofhcie"
the four years term which custom ha'
established with only the expense ane
anxiety Of one campaign. Experience
has shown that most of the trouble ane
defalcations in these offices have grown
out of neglect of official duties arc
over Jealous efforts incident to a cam
paign for re election.
F.urth Amendment.
The fourth amendment makes ue

to the offices of Comptroller ard Treas
u1er. And In addition there would be
a decided advantage to the State from
a public discussion of State finances.
such as would be incident to cam
paign before the people for these offices.
Fifth Amendment.
The fifth amendment authorizes the
Legislature to enact road, fence ana
stock laws of local application. Natural
conditions make it impossible to fo1mu-
late satisfactory laws of general APP
plication on these subjects. Laws which
meet the needs of a populous county
are not satisfact Dry to citizens llvn 6
in a thinly settled immunity, whle
,ople living in the mountains of East
Ten lessee require Toad la VS. different
from those best suited to Middle and
West Tennessee. The increasing I'M
portance OF good roads as population
and commerce increase, and the grow
ing scarcity and expense of timber fol
fencing, in portions Of the State, make
the fifth amendment most necessary to
the future prosperity of our people.
This amendment, il adopted. does not
change any existing law, but simply
pei mits the Legislature to enact laws
on these subjects fol- particular counties
which want them. without effecting
other counties which do not want a
change.
Sixth Amendment.
The sixth amendment Is a. new sec
ton and gives an opportunity to those
cities and counties which may wish to
encourage manufacturing. But it is
so safeguarded that the state can lose
nothing by its operation. and no city
or county can take advantage OF it ur
less there is a strong local sentiment
In favor OF It.
Seventh Amendment.
The seventh amendment is also a
new section, and would be henehclal
manly by putting the public on notice
that municipal corporations can nc
bonde for only ten per cent OF assessed
values. Tie business interests OF the
country have practically established
this limit. But many citizens do no real
,ze the vital difference between
municipal and commercial corporation
until, The debt limit has been reached.
A commercial corporation may issue
bonds up to its assessed value ana tne
n,onerty of the corporation secures
the payment of bonds. But with
municipal CORPORATE on the property o.
nrivate ciizens Is the basis OF cieoi''
and II bonded Indebtedness becomes

Is to assess property tor taxes far oeio"
