to in The Argus, and is taken as an ev-

when interviewed today by The Ar

This bill has nothing whatever to
do.with the raising or lowering of the
government dam that gives slack wa

authorizes the government engineers
to locate dams for us. Under the state
law we had the right TO build dams in

Peabody Appropriation.

81 will ask the Legislature to appro-
pirate outright the $3.50, 900, and if this
is not done it will be fatal to the whole
project. There is a minority on the
Peabody Board that will be glad to see
me fail to get this through, and the on
ly way l can succeed in securing the
endowment is for the Legislature to
make the appropriation outright"
This is the substance of a statement
made The American by ex- Gov Porter,
Chancellor of the Peabody College,
yesterday, and it is important that the
Legislature clearly understand the sit.
uation.
We had thought the plan OF Cox, i
e., that 1925, 900 be given next yeal
and an equal amount the following
year, would be satisfactory. But Gov
Porter, who is fully alive to the dang
or Of losing the $1,5OO,OOO which tn,
Peabody Board stands ready to give i
Tennessee planks down its $3.50, 900 il
cash, says this will not do. TO adop
the Cox plan will be to give the oppo
sition trustees more ammunition wit
which to keep up the fight against tn
location Of the funds in the state.
Summed up, the matter stands thus
Tennessee must give $3.50, 600 in cash
and early in the new year, or the 81,
100000 which the trustees have alread
decided to vote the college, will b
lost. And when it is lost, it is certai
that the remainder of the fund will G

Tennessee Soldiers at Vicksburg.

Isn't it about time for Tennessee to
take steps looking to suitable COM
memoration of the state troops that
took part in the seige of Vicksburg?
Other states have erected monuments
in the Vicksburg National Military
Park, locating and concentrating the
services of the soldiers who served
their country upon this great battle
field, why should not Tennessee pay
like homage to the brave men serving
under her. name?
If any soldiers deserve monuments
to their memory surely those who wore
the gray for Tennessee are entitled to
the honor. And of these gallant men
those who figured in the struggle for
Vicksburg rank pari passu with their
fellows. Among the defenders of that
city Tennessee bore no insignificant
part, the following troops of this state
having participated:
Infantry Third volunteers, Third
provisional army, Tenth, Thirtieth,
Thirty.6rst, Forty first, Forty-second,
Forty-third, Forty-sixth, Forty eighth
Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-third, Fiji
ty-fifth, Fifty.ninth, Sixtieth, Sixty
first, Sixty-second, First battalion
10; cavalry Company 9. First Compa-
ny A., SEVENTY 2; artillery (Compa-
MES A. B, @. and D, First heavy,
Johnston's battery, Lynchs' battery,
Tobin's battery, Mebane's battery)S.
Not one of these troops but deserves
every honor a state may yield to til
soldiery. Their courage and their pa
triotism call aloud for substantial rec
ognition, especially upon theatre
where the troops of other states hav'
been so signally honored.
We would, then, invite the coming
legislature OF Tennessee to give thi
question more than mere passing
consideration. The state is not pau
per. 1t has wealth and can we'll spare
0 sum adequate enough to erect I
handsome monument in this park,
showing to the world that Tennessee
holds its soldiers in gray in respec
and reverence, and is not forgetful Of
the honors due them for their patriotic
services. Commercial Appeal.

on the Brownsville incident, Senator
Carmack, of Tennessee, said:
cit is a remarkably clear and power.
full statement of the whole case. Il
will cover with shame those who have
tried to play for the negro vote by
questioning the propriety of the presl
dents action in this matter. The pres
ident has made it plain that he hal

'If the discharged battalion hat

about it has done the negro more harm

of his friends and destroyed their con
fidence in him.
"When love for the negro takes TIN
form of sympathy for negro murderer

The Stuff That Kills.

That was an interesting statement

distillery before the Pure Food Com

that neutral spirits aged two weeks is
widely sold as whiskey; that alcohol
has decided character but spirits has
no character at all, and neither taste
nor smell.
Asked If neutral spirits were ever put
into charred barrels and called whisky,
Mr.. Warthen said
"The internal revenue laws permit O
distiller to put neutral spirits il
charred barrels and brand the product
as whisky"
"How long is the spirit kept in
charred barrels?"
From ten days to two weeks"
us this product, at the expiration Of
that time, sold to the trade as whisky?'
"The Government allows the distil
lers to use that name. There is a grea+
demand for this brand of goods, anG
the distillers always see that they arr
filed"
"Who drinks this sort of whiskey?'
1T is usually called 'nigger whisky
and is consumed in large quantities b,
the patrons of dives and barrel houses.
"What does it sell fOr?''
You can get an ample glass of it fo
8 CENTS"
What can be expected of the poo
creatures who drink the stuff? "Nig
ger whisky" or "nigger gin" is enough

to kill white man off-hand. TIL
