Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-01-26

The principal culprits are the ox-war-
BILE, and various biting flies and ticks.
Horses, sheep and other farm animals
are subject to attacks of similar para
sites and other insect enemies. If all
these be considered including, for ex-
ample, the buffalo gnats, often very
destructive in the South, the many
gadhies, BOTTLES, the screw-worm fly.
and such parasites as the ticks and lice,
heavy percentage of loss must be
reckoned. A conservative estimate of
the Department of Agriculture of these
losses is $175.0OO,OOO a year.
Stored Products Preyed Upon.
While mention has been made of the
1amage done to vegetable products dur
ing the growing and maturing season.
these crops after they have run the
gauntlet OF insect enemies during their
entire period OF growth, are still sub
lect to the inroads of insect depreda-
tors while in storage on the farm. in
elevators and mills, or again while in
transit especially in the case of long
shipments by sea. Food products in
the Kitchen and house-storeroom suf-
ter from insect damage. Animal pro-
ducts are attacked by larder beetles.
etc., fruits by various fruit and vine.
gar flies and the woolens and house,
hold furnishings by beetles, moths.
silver fish, etc. Cured tobacco is es-
pecially subject to insect attacks and
damage, the most important source of
injury being minute insect known as
the cigarette beetle which not only
eats into cigarettes but all other forms
OF cured tobacco. While an estimate
OF 100000, 900 year is placed upon
the damage done to the store products
this does not include the destruction to
products in the household or to tobacco.
A very considerable item which
might be chargeable tc insects and yet
which cannot be estimated is that of
preventing insect damage. No one can
estimate how much is expended on
wire screens for the household to pre-
vent the ingress of flies, mosquitoes
and moths. nor can an estimate be
placed upon the amount of money ex-
pended to eradicate mosquitoes, but it
is believed that the estimate of $780,
OOO, 900 made by the officials of the
Department Of Agriculture is far below
the actual annual loss. The problem
the economic entomologist of the flu
ture must solve is the lessening or pre-
vention of this loss

TN this county the campaign was

Chanler Defeats Bruce.
AN Associated Press

10Y ASSOGIdtCI 1 ISL
NEW YORK, Nov S-With
nearly complete returns from SO Of
81 counties in the State, Chanler,
Democratic Independence League
candidate for lieutenant governor,
has lead over Bruce, Republican,
of 1921. The remainder of the
state ticket is far from being as
complete as the total for Lieutenant
governor.
The election of the entire Dem
ocratic state ticket, with the excep-
ton of governor, is indicated by the
latest returns. The closest contest
is between Chanler, Democrat, for
LIEUTENANT governor, and Bruce, Re-
publican. The returns already in,
however, show that even il the miss
ing counties give Bruce the NUM-
Der of votes equal to those given
Higgins two years ago Chanlcr will
still have a plurality slightly in ex-
cess Of 8, 400. 1t now seems likely
the remaining Democratic candi-
dates viii have a wider margin than
Chanler.

ording To Opinions Of Coroner
and Doctor About Nc
Laughlia Infant
HILD DIES ~ THE BED.
Parents Assert Brain Fever Is the
Purely Accidental, Says
Coroner-No Inquest

The two-months-old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Mclaughlin, Of
North street, West End, was acci-
lentaIly crushed to death in bed by
zone Of the parents Wednesday
night, according to the opinion Of
oroper w. p. Camp and DR.. z. n.
Hood, although the parents believe
Tint the baby died Of brain trouble.
When the parents arose in the
morning they left the child in bed
asleep, as they supposed When
the mother went to the bedside to
see the child some time later she
found him dead. DR.. Hood, who is
the family physician, says the child
was healthy yesterday and that
when it was born two months ago it
was healthy. There was big blue
mark along the side of the child's
head and also on the upper part Of
the body on the same side, when ex-
amined by the doctor and the eoron-
er. They believe that one of the
parents, while asleep, rolled over
upon the child and crushed it to
death. As there was no evidence to
show there was any Intentional vio-
lance and as the cause of the
enild's death was purely accidental
IN his mind, Coroner Camp decided
that no inquest was necessary.
The baby's body will be taken to
Pennsboro Friday morning and the
burial viii take place there.

BIG Factory
MAY COME.

Thomas @, Brady is in receipt Of
a communication from prominent
Pennsylvania manufacturer, read
ing as follows:
eve are again considering the
advisability Of moving our factory
to some West Virginia point, where
we can secure good railroad con
nections, plenty of natural gas at
reasonable rates, etc. We have been
short of gas this year so far 46
days, therefore unable to operate
our plant. If your city should Sc
cure a plant such as ours, what in
ducements can you offer?"
The plaut Is hi gone and has
substantial people behind it. From
the tone of The communication, it
seems probable about the only in
ducement asked for is cheap fuel.
1t ought toibe arranged to give the
concern some concession in this re-
spect. Atlleast the inquiry ought
to receive the Immediate attention
Of the Board of5Trade and will
doubtless be looked after at once.

v, B. Archer and William Beard.
of Parkersburg, have gone to Rich
mond, va, to argue on behalf q
Greed Collins and the heirs at law
OF the late Thomas 2. Davis, a case
of unusual Importance, pending in
the Circuit Court Of Appeals, and
set for argument on Noy.s.
The original bill in this case was
fled in the clerks Office Of the Cir
cult court of the United States for
the District of Virginia, at Par
kersburg some years ago. The bill
was fled by w. w. Hardness, who
claimed 5000 acres Of land In
Richie county against Greed Col
Inns and Thomas 3. Davis, who
claimed title and ownership to near
" 1000 acres adjoining Hardness
tract. The original bill was signed
by w. NJ Miller, Henderson Peck,
and the late John A. Hutchinson
Mr.. Hutchinson. as is well known,
died several years ago, and Mr..
Henderson Peck is now an active
practitioner in New York City, as
sociated with the law firm of which
ex- Governor Black, of New York,
is the senior member. Mr.. Miller,
of Parkersburg, is still in the case,
and is the only attorney for Hark-
ness originally associated with the
case.
The answer of Greed Collins and
Thomas E. Davis was filed Dec. 4,
1890, and is signed by the late Gov
ernor J. B. Jackson, as counsel
The suit has been pending, there

years. Some years after the filing
Of the original bill, Judge John .
jackson discovered that he had for.

the late General John j. Jackson,
and had. therefore, become person
ally familiar with some of the lines
in dispute, and Judge Golf was
thereupon substituted as trial judge
and Judge Jackson became a wits

Pending the proceedings in the
equity cause by leave of the court,
an ejeetnent suit was filed by Greed
Collins and Thomas j.. Davis
against Hardness, and there were
two trials of this cause before jur-
les and a disagreement at each trial.
On July 10. 1889, the heirs at
law of w. w. Hardness, who had
died, pending the suit, fled an
amended bill, and obtained an IN
junction restraining Collins and
Davis from prosecuting the eject
ment suit. The further object Of
the amended bill was to quiet the
title. After the injunction, voluIn-
nous dispositions were taken by both
sides. and the cause submitted, to
Judge Golf for final decree. On
Aug. 4, 1905, Judge Golf entered
the final decree, sustaining the
Hardness claimants in their claim
to title. From this decree, Collins
appealed to the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. The real contest between the
parties is as TO the true division line
beween two of Worth's surveys OF
1884. The lection Of the line, as
claimed by the Hardness heirs, in

land was very heavily tiIubered and
the timber was taken off by G. s.
