N OBERT I. TAYLOR and Senator
!" e. w. carmack have locked
horns In Tennessee. Although
eighteen months will elapse before the
legislature convenes. to elect a senator,
these worthy knights are already warning
vigorously. The Issue is simply this: Sem
ator Carmack wants to continue Senator
Carmack; Ex-Governor Taylor wishes to
become Senator Taylor. The senatorial
aspiration Is not a new one with Bob
Taylor. by any means, and the bitterness
of disappointed ambition in the past Is
lending peculiar animosity TO the pres
ent campaign. Both men are extremely
popular In Tennessee, both are able and
both are brilliant speakers. although IT
is said that Ex-Governor Taylor Is no
match for Senator Carmack in a politi-
cal debate. The Apostle of Sunshine. .
Is, however, a man to hold his own in
Tennessee, and If he succeeds in putting
the alleged machine on the run he will
have an excellent fighting chance to win.
In the meantime Tennessee will enjoy a
political battle which will, 1t is predicted,
prove to be the bitterest waged In the
state since the days of Andrew john
son.
A party of rough fellows were drinking
In little saloon at Beaumont one night
In the winter of 1901-O2. 1t was during the
oil boom, when the Texas town was over
run with Adventures from all parts of
the world. Over In one corner, where the
light scarcely penetrated, a blear-eyed,
nj xvaa min lp MIA He
was an adept at the keys, and as his fin
gers wandered lightly over the keyboard
several men turned to look at him
curiously, marvelling at the skill he dis
played. The performer had fallen upon
evil days, but had evidently once been a
pianist of some note. 1t was a tough
little dive" where he was playing. The
floor was dirty, the bar and fixtures
rather tawdry and the entrance far from
inviting A motley crowd stood before the
bar and sat drinking whisky at the tables
scattered about. The fumes of tobacco
smoke were almost sitting. Coarse laugh
ter and profanity was heard on every
side while the clinks of glasses was I'M
interrupted.
The man at the plano played on, his
head thrown back, a far away expression
on his face. From the dreamy look in his
eyes 1t was easy to see that his thoughts
were far removed from his present sur
roundings. He was not playing rag
time" Selections from List, Handel and
Chopin followed In rapid succession. Bee
thovens Moonlight Sonata came next,
and then he began to play Nearer My
God to Thee" His face assumed a rapt
expression. He put his soul Into the music
and the claptrap piano responded nobly
to his touch. Instantly hush fell upon
the room. The sounds of coarse revelry
was stilled. A man drinking at the bar
dropped his glass with crash and stood
motionless. Others paused with their
glasses raised to their lips. The assem-
bly, remained silent and spell-bound un-
til the last note died away and the player
stopped abruptly Several fellows stirred
uneasily. One man pulled his hat over
his eyes and went out Others followed
suit, until the room was almost deserted.

 Everyone knows that the East cannot compete with the West in beef pro- duction. But not every one knows of a new scheme for raising beef that is profitable in the East, or wherever land and feed are high. This new plan might be called forced feeding" since the animal Is marketed at twelve or fourteen months instead of four or five years as was done a generation ago. There is an intimate relation between the length of the feeding periods and the gains in weight Animals in the wild state eat enough to keep them selves and maintain a vigorous bodily condition They may take on extra fat when food is plentiful to tide them selves over the season of scarcity. Man has interfered with natural processes for the purpose of securing greater production. One of the chief objects kept in mind in animal breeding is to secure breeds which can consume he largest possible quantities of feed and make good and profitable use of 1t.

HEALTH CONDITIONS AT PANAMA
Sanitation Must Be Improved Before
 Other Work Is Attempted.
Savannah News S

Savannah News.
 President shonts of the Panama Ca. nal Commission has done the public real service by making an authorita- tive statement respecting the health conditions on the Isthmus of Panama. Statements of sensational character have appeared In some of the New York papers relative to the existence of yellow fever there. The facts. as President Shonts presents them show that there has been scarcely any fe- yer There are between 5000 and 1O.- 900 canal employees and there were two deaths from yellow fever in May, four in June, and there had been none in July up to the 9th of the month. That Is certainly not a bad fever record. More people died of malarial or other fever in the period mentioned in many cities in this country having a popula- ton of 5000 or 10000. If the yellow fever doesn't become worse than these statistics indicate it will never inter fere seriously with the construction of the canal.
 President Shonts says the canal zone is to be made a pleasant place of resi- dence. and that the employees are to be well housed and well fed. All this is to be done before the work of build ing the canal is to be begun in real earnest. This is good news for those who have cast their lot with the ca nal It is going to cost a great deal of money to make the Canal Zone the sort of place President Shonts expects 1t to be- but it can be made such a place. Good drainage and good water will work wonders There is no par ticular reason why the Isthmus should not be practically free from fevers of all kinds. Now it is spotted with swamps and stagnant pools which are breeding places for mosquitoes.
 And good health depends largely up- on food, houses and habits. If the ca nal employees have comfortable houses wholesome food. and live temperately avoiding eXcesses of all sorts, 1t Is probable that the death rate of the Canal Zone will be brought down near that of majority of American cities.
 It is evident. from what President Shonts says, that work on the canal isn't being pushed along so rapidly as 1t was expected 1t would be. The main business just now seems to be to get the Canal Zone fit for q place of resi- dence Money Is to be spent freely for that purpose, and perhaps in the long run the plan will be the most econom ical that could be adopted because if the Canal Zone is healthy mechanics and laborers can be secured for less wages than if the place were a pest hole.

In ordinary years the ice in the streams of the interior breaks up by the middle of May, and by June the floods are mostly over and miners promptly be- gin work. By the last of September the winter gives warning of it's rapid approach. The ground first freezes, then the streams turn to ice, and out door mining is at an end for that sea- son. From that time on the thawing and mining process is employed Mining and Scientific Press.
