FOR THE OCCASIONAL NAP.
Why the Couch Should Be Considered
 Indispensable.

"A room without a couch is only half furnished" says an authority on homemaking. Life is so full of ups and downs that often and often all that saves the sanity of the mentally jaded and physically exhausted for tune fighter is the occasional half hour rest or momentary loss of conscious ness on the breakfast room lounge or the old sofa in the sittingroom." A long, comfortable couch, on which one may throw himself, boots and brains, unmindful of tidies and tapestries, is a veritable means of grace. The need of a good, healthy nap is often mis- taken for suicidal tendencies. Instead Of speedy introduction to future state, business men and working wom- en want systematic doses of dozing, and next best to a messy bank in the shade of an old oak is the low, long couch in the dusky corner. where tired nature can turn her face to the wall and dream away the blues.

Crop Must be RepIanted.

The Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, in response to letters sent out to the principal cotton grow, CTS of all the cotton raising coun- ties of the state, asking for compar- ison of the acreage and prospects of the cotton crop this year compared to that of 1906, has received a large number of replies, from which the department has estimated that the cotton acreage this year will be about 9o per cent of that of last year, and that most of the cotton will have to be replanted This estimate how ever, was made without regard to the storms of the past few days, and upon the assumption that the cold and wet weather was ended for a time at least. It is probable that if the exist ing weather conditions are taken into account that the percentage of the crop this year will be materially re. 0uce5

MODERN REVOLUTION INSURGENTS BUYING IMPROVED MACHINE GUNS TO OPERATE
 IN GUATEMALA.

Mexico City, May.-Machine guns will play big part in the coming rev olution against Guatemala. The revo- lutionists, who are now organizing a movement against the Cabrera gov ernment are making definite plans to give President Cabrera's army some of its own medicine. Last summer the revolutionists who succeeded in invading Guatemalan territory met with a big and most disconcerting surprise. Instead of facing ragged and undisCiplined body of troops arm ed with ordinary rifles, the revolu- chine guns that moved an advancing force down like a modern harvester does wheat field Cabrera had inn ported the best of rapid-firing guns. These could be transported on the backs of mules to the most advan- tageous places in the hills and noun tains. With these guns he imported French artillery officers and men trained in the use of this style of weapon.
 Then, with these guns at the head of his army, Cabrera not only fairly slaughtered the reyoluticnists and Salvadorean troops, but installed in them a fear that precluded the pos sibility of wholesale assertions from his army to the ranks of the revolu tionists, which was confidently expect ed by the latter.
 As result of this lesson, the revo- lutionists who will conduct the fight in the expected outbreak this sum- mer will be provided with machine guns of the latest pattern. Further more, it is known that arrangements are being made to secure experts to take charge of the light machine bat teries

Negro Hanged By Mob.

Woman Rescued From Well.

Mrs. Cal Green a farmers wife liv- ing near Forgy in Sevier county, fell into 3O-foot well recently, but was rescued after remaining in a perilous position for nearly an hour. Mrs Green went to the well to wash some vegetables, and in some manner fell into the well. When she struck the water 30 feet below she grasped projecting rock in the curbing and clung to it, being encouraged to do so by neighbors who went to her assist ance. The bucket was at the bottom of the well, but the rope was not of sufficient strength to bear the weight of the woman. Her rescuers procured some trace chains, fastened them to- gether, and, attaching one end to a nail keg, lowered it into the well. Mrs. Green stood in the keg and held to the chain and was hotsted to the surface in safety.

Country orders had been pouring in seemingly in an endless stream and, in obedience to them brokers stood ready to buy millions of bushels at the market prlce. Shorts were in highly nervous condition and were eager to cover The re- suit was that as soon as the gong sounded there was a terrific roar of voices, all anxious to buy and nobody offering to sell. The confusion was so great that for a few minutes but little actual business was transacted. the brokers fighting and struggling in the effort to get hold of wheat from anybody or at any price. The rush of buying orders seemed to come from almost every city in the United States which was situated along a telegraph wire. The came from Win nipeg and from Louisiana and from points on the Pacific and Atlantic sea boards. It is predicted that wheat will go to $1.50 per bushel.
