Mr.. GEORGE CAMPBELL BROWN
Writes a Letter on the State
Fair Question:,
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
Colum bis, Tenn.
/ recognize the fact that you are OPP
posed to the principal of fostering class
industries through state appropriations,
and think this the only good argu-
inent in your article (editorial) on the
subject.
No me will deny that a State Fair
Will be extremely beneficial to the
States live stock interests. Maury
County's greatest wealth is and always
has been III live stock and all it's best
energies in the direction OF feeding and
developing the best class OF live stock
Its proportional benefits from the es-
Establishment of a State Fair would be as
great or greater than any other
county's.
| an sure Won m'sjudge the people
who are behind the effort to establish a
State Fair. / have been working for it
for six years and / know that | myself
and the gentlemen with whom | have
been associated in the matter, want no
graft, nor work to any other end than
the general good, believing as we do
that an UNFOLDING of the live stock and
agriculture of the State will tend to
help aud stimulate all kindred inter
ests, mercantile and otherwise. None
of the present work ers for the bill have
any axes to grind, that l know of.
There is no doubt that the people of
Nashville want the State Fair and they
are quite right. 1t will help the city in
way. 1t would help any city that was
i'll position to take care of it. / think
myself that a State Fair should be held
and that it should be helr 1T Nashville
hope that if the appropriation is pas
sed by the Legislature, that Nashville's
citizens will bid high enough to- get the
Fair, because it is the only REASONABLE
location for it. If 1t is not passed, hope
they will hold Fair,any which will
lead up to a State Fair
The fertilizer tax is direct tax upon
the farmer and is used to defray the
general expenses fthe State. 1t should
be either abolish ed or used tor the farm
er's especial benefit Other class indust-
ries are Fastened by State appropria-
tions. Why not let the farmers (your
constituency come in for their share of
their own money? ser
Yours truly,

people should be like minded with my
self on this subject.
In October of last year, ssthe commits

report, stated tnat 1.-THE Santa Fe Pike
from the Sowell farm at north end to
the top of the nil near Latta's, was
very bad at the time of inspection
and needed metaling.'' Iu.s is all
that ls said Ill said annual iepJrt in
reference to the Santa Fe Turnpike.
Inat report was not spread upon the
January term. In the meantime, all
necessary repairs. at that point of the
road, had been done, ana no com plant
was made as to. any other portion.

absolutely without any legal force

fifteen men had the same right to pass
such resolution, ara 1T would have
been entitled to as much respect as
theirs From my information I PIE
sumo that there Is not a lawyer at the

LOADED SHELL INADVERTENTLY USED

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 10 The festi
val of the Epiphany ana the blessing
of the waters of the Neva had just
concluded at O'Clock his afternoon
when simultaneously with the salute
fired from st. Peter and st. Paul
/ fortress, ram grape shot swept over
the little chapel built over the frozen
eva in front of the Winter Palace,
where Emperor Nicholas and every
member of the RomanoH family were
participating in the services.
The Emperor had miraculous
csc ipe. Some of the bullets actually
struck the little open chapel in which
the Emperor was standing, cut the
staff of one of the standards and fairly
iiddled the basement windows of the
Palace, killing Policeman outright
and wounding an officers anu three
marines. Had the gun been aimed Il
little lower the charge OF grape might
have wiped out the whole Romanof
dynasty.
1t Is now stated In official circles
that the grape was fired from one of
the guns of the 18th battery of First
Horse artillery of the guard, the most
aIistocratic corps in the Russian army.
1t is said that at gun practice on
Tuesday loaded smell was mad
vertently left In the gun.
the suggestion hardly meets the fact
that it was aimed with such accuracy
at the chapel Everything on the
surface seems to indicate the existence
OF a deadly and deep plot against the
Emperor, in which artillerymen were
enlisted.
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
It is understood that all the men and
the officers of the battery were i'm
mediately placed under arrest fol exam
ination. The police took charge of the
spot where the battery still stands and
drew double Gordon across the river,
searching out everything in the line OF
fire.

WROTE AN INTERVIEW.
"Drummer Evangelist" Called at Advertiser Building.

"Drummer Evangelist" Called at
 Advertiser Building.
 Mir. windham called at The Adverti- ser building yesterday morning leaving his card for the City Editor.
 Later in the day, having failed to see the City Editor, he left the follow ing written statement which he asked to be published in The Advertiser:
 Sam Jones, who is billed to lecture here Friday night, passed through this city en route to Tuskegee, where he will preach tonight. While in the city there was an interview between Sam Jones and Sam Windham at the Glen more Hotel where the latter has been stopping for the last two days awaiting the arrival of Sam Jones.
 sam Windham is just from Los An geles, Cal, having spent the past four years out West. He Is formerly of Ozark, Ala, and will go down with Sam Jones Saturday to be married Sunday. Sam Jones performing the ceremony.
 Tt may be of interest to the public and especially those of like experience to state that Sam Windham has been separated from his wife three times, she leaving him last in San Francisco, Cal, coming back to Alabama and se- curing a divorce. It is to be hoped that Rev. Sam Jones will tie them together this time for keeps.
 "The experience of Sam Windham, who Is known as The Drummer Evan gelist,' Is an interesting one."

He Believes MT. Windham is Unbal-
 anced Mentally.
 W. F. Vandiver. interviewed by a representative of The Advertiser, ex- pressed the belief that MT. Windham was insane.
 MT. Jones, who Is my personal friend" said Mir Vandiver, was in my office about II o'clock. He pointed to MT. Windham. who appeared to be waiting for him, and told me that the man had been annoying him. When he left my office this MT. Windham. who is apparently unbalanced mentally, went with him.
 Later in the day when MT. Jones was on his way to the train he came by my office and told me of his experi- ence with MT. Windham at the hotel He said Mir. Windham told him, after locking the door to the bedroom. that God had directed him to go to Dothan and get married and that MT. Jones was to perform the ceremony; that if MT. Jones did not consent one of them must die. MT. Jones escaped from him by being called to answer the tele- phone.
 T volunteered to go to the railway station with Mir. Jones and when we got in the street this MT. Windham overlook us. He walked with us to the depot and 1t was all I could do to keep him off the train, notwith- standing both MT. Jones and myself were quite sure he was without funds.
 "Suspecting that he might go to Tus- kegee on the evening train I called in MT. Payne of the police department and requested that he be watched MT. Payne said it was his duty to arrest him and I understand that he is held at police headquarters on suspicion. l shall not swear out a warrant against him as I do not think he is respon- sigle."
 MT Jones will return to Montgom- cry this morning. While here he will be the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Vandiver at their home on South Court Street.

THE WORST IS OVER
BELIEVED THAT JOE JEFFERSON
 WILL RECOVER.
Physician, Nurse and Relatives Full of Hope That Distinguished Patient is to Regain His Accustomed
 Health.

West Palm Beach. April 21.--At mid night Joseph Jefferson's condition is
 about the same. Resting quietly.
 West Palm Beach, Fla, April 20.-- There is every indieatAsR tonigtss that Joseph Jefferson will recover. Charles B. Jefferson. his son. is confident. Dr. R. B. Potter. his physician, is hopeful and Mabel Bingham. his nurse, thinks the worst is over.
 The report to the effect that Mir. Jefferson was suffering with pneu- monia have been untrue, his illness has been due to over exertion when on visit to Hobe Sound. Added to over exertion was a general weak ness caused by indigestion from which he suffered last spring. This ailment returned and was in its effect very pronounced. Tuesday night when there was such a decided change for the worse, it came after days of fail- ure to retain nourishment. But though he told his son Frank who was at his bedside at that time that he wanted to pass away quietly, indicating that he appeared fearful of the end, he was the first yesterday to say that he would recover and today he has been talking cheerfully and asking arrangements be made for going to his northern home What Dr. Pot ter says the assurance for recovery came when MT. Jefferson was able to retain nourishment. This favorable condition was more pronounced today when he called hourly for food and retai ming all given him. Chicken broth was his diet for the forenoon and this afternoon he has taken tea, milk and toast. At 4 o'clock he asked to be permitted to sit up and his re- quest was granted. His room Is on the second floor of his cottage and which he so admires. He did not tire and enjoyed the cool breeze while chatting with the nurse. Depsite the fact that Mir. Jefferson has been al- most at the point of death Dr. Pot ter who lives at West Palm Beach, two miles from the Jefferson home, has not been constantly at his bedside of his patient except during the few hours Monday night when the change for the worse occurred and he was called. MT. Jefferson revived to such an extent that his physician felt jus tified in returning home and making only visits at intervals of three hours, each time noting an improve ment But at o'clock this after noon Dr. Potter left the beside and said to the reporter of the Associated Press at 7:30 o'clock tonight he would not go to the Jefferson home unless called. This assurance of the condi. ton of MT. Jefferson was accepted by his family as indicating that the worst Is over and 1t came after the family had noted many decided chang es for the better during the day. The fact that indigestion has been the d. rect cause of Mir. Jeffersons crit fcal moments and that he is now re- taining nourishment can best describe his condition tonight. Dr. Potter says that the disposition of his patient is cheerful and that he is hourly regain- ing strength. Of course the danger point is not passed but the conditions are very favorable.
