ooNrERs WITH MRS, P1LcHER
Regarding Official Action Against
Mrs. Latham

Gen. H. A. Tyler called Monday
on Mrs. NJ. B. Pitcher, President
of the Tennessee division of the
United Daughters of the Confed.
eracy, with the purpose of placing
before her his request for some
action against Mrs. I. ]. Latham,
Of Memphis, who he claims to be
disloyal to the South and unworthy
of her high position in@the U. D.
q. Mrs. Pitcher is very adverse
to again bringing the matter into
the organization.
Gen. Tyler insists that he has
proof that Mrs. Latham assisted
in Unionist celebration in 1862,
and that her story of Punishment
to Canada during war times is q
myth. This Mrs. Latham denies.
Gen. Tyler explained Sunday
that he entered the matter hoping
to shift it from difference in U.
d. G. ranks to a personal quarrel.
However, he is now Of the opinion
that the matter is past this stage,
and is now seeking to settle the
question in the U. d. G. He wants
some drastict official action at the
next annual convention of the U.
d. G.
When seen by The Tennessean
reporter, Mrs. Pitcher was not in
clined to re- open the subject, but
finally stated that she had received
Gen. Tyler and listened to his
statement of the whole matter.
Mrs. Pitcher feels that commit
ment of the case to the U. ID. G.
convention would only tend to
create a revival of friction, and is
if possible, to have the
feud decided without the organiza-
ton. Official cognizance of the
matter any further, she believes,
would only tend to bring about
further bitternessand division, and
she is automatically striving to
arrive at a decision without pre-
cipitating further dissension, be-
ieving that the matter has gone
TAR enough. Gen. Tyler was ac-
corded patient interview, but
was given to understand that the

/ Gentlemen-Your remarks on
"Committee Work" of the Com.
mercial Club are to the point. Sys-
tematic, concentrated effort by
everyone concerned in the welfare

do we need committees to look

The selection of Obion County
as site for the West Tennessee

that should allow no thought of
delay and certainly not of defeat.
With full realization of the bene-
fits to be derived from this station
we know that we want it, and want
1t bad. Obion County needs this
scientific and practical work relat
ing to every branch of agriculture
and horticulture; its study of the
more important crops with regard
to their nutritive value, methods
of manuring and cultivation, and
the best varieties adapted to indi-
vidual localities, or its work with
reference to systems of rotation.
Many stations are conducting feed

RAN OVER A

Pine Bluii Engineer ToUk Cotton !,cl: Passenger into Memphis ou Time

With the consent of the passen%arS. the morning train coming i'll oyeH the Cotton Belt railroad Sunday pass;sl over a burning trestle fifteen mil : west of Memphis, in Arkansas. an(. reached the union station with it's human cargo all willing to relate the thrilling experience. The train got over the bridge in safety, but the en- zine came in with bearings hot.
 Hauled by engine No. 61, making it's initial run, the train was travelling ua to the limit when Engineer w. E. Lee of this city, affectionately known in the fraternity as Bum" sighted the burning trestle and brought tha train to a standstill. After a consult tatiOn with the crew and the passen- gers, the train was backed up for d fresh start. Several piers of the trestle were burning and three or four had been entirely consumed, and the new engine weighs ten tons more than the @50's" which usually haul this train into Memphis, but in spite of this the gauge was pushed to the limit, the throttle was opened and the train dashed across the bridge at a lO-mile gait The passage was made in safety and the train rolled into Memphis only a few minutes behind time. In addition to crossing the tres tie ill safety, No. 61 achieved further fame by drawing the train all the way through from TeXarkana, the engine which was to have relieved it at this point having left the turntable and be- ing put out of commission

several members objected to the pOstponement of house business in order that the bill might be taken up. Senator Amis announced that he desired to offer an amendment to the bill to make it apply only to the Third senatorial district, which is represented by Senator Rowland. the author of the measure.
 Nc Quorum Present.
 The senate found difficulty in transacting business this morning, because of the impossibility of keep ing d quorum. So many of the senators failed to take their places or to remain in their seats that the quorum was broken on several occasions It was finally found necessary to adjourn at 11:30 o'clock because of the fact that there was not quorum present.
 Increasing Governors Salary.
 The senate this afternoon passed the bill introduced by Senator Pat terson raising the salary of the governor of Arkansas from $3,000 to S4,000 per annum. There was no opposition to the bill in the senate and it was passed with lit tie discussion. The bill provides that it shall go into effect at the close of the present administration. The bill may encounter more stren- uous opposition when it reaches the i house. as there is likely to be a sentiment in that body against in creasing salaries.
 .'BooZe Fighters" Bill. The senate this afternoon passed the bill introduced in the house by 1 Mr. Rizzia, prohibiting drunken ness in public gatherings and on trains and making the minimum fine s10 for each offense. Ths bill has passed the house and will now be sent to the governor.
 Little in Senate.
 Today was senate day in the bouse and house day in the senate, and as usual on such days, little but routine business was transacted The greater part of the day in the senate was devoted to the reading of bouse bills, most of them of a local nature. In the house the en- tire afternoon sessl0n, which lasted from ) o'clock until 5:15 o'clock was devoted to a discussion of a motion to reconsider the vote by which the Greenwood district of Se' bastian county was exempted from inc Arnold good roads bill, whlcf nrovides for the working of county roads on the improvement distrlc nlan The fight is purely loca one between factions in Sebastian countv. but it has taken up thf whole of two or three sessions an' is not yet settled.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent.)

Little Rock, March 12.-The house this morning Killed the Simms bill, which had already passed the senate. and which was intended to enforce compliance with contracts made by laborers. The bill provides a fine and imprison- ment for laborers who secure mon ey and provisions in advance upon a promise to pay for the same with labor and then fail to carry out their contracts. The passage of such a bill has been demanded by the representatives of the negro counties who claim that some lesis lation is needed to force the ne- gro laborers to carry out their con- tracts. The opposition has been Vbased upon the ground that such legislation would virtually provide for Imprisonment for debt. The Simms bill was very similar to the
 
 by Representative Robey by re- quest, and which has been made a special order for the latter part of this week. When the Robey bill was up yesterday AZ counties were exempted from it's provisions. When the Simms bill was called up to- day, it was quickly killed by the adoption of motion to indefinitely postpone the measure.
 Given More Authority.
 The senate this morning passed the bill introduced in Ge house by MT. Black of Sebastian, enlarg- ing the powers of the state rail- road commission. This bill gives the commission authority to hear and act upon petitions for the i'm pavement of train service, the con- Z struction of depots and sidings and N other matters. At present these matters which must be covered py special legislation and at every ses' sion of the legislature scores or To- cal bills are introduced, proVldlns for the erection of depots or the stopping of trains at certain points The consideration of these meas ures takes up large amount O valuable time.

There is beauty and attractive pess in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature. . A sicklv, irritable, and complaining woman always carries a cloud of depression with her: she is not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends.
 It is the bright, healthy. vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes.
 If woman finds that her energies are Tagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness. sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correct ing the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed.
