LETTERS WIPED OUT DEBT
Tender Missives Certainly for Once
 Answered Good Purpose.

There was great rejoicing in the New Brooklyn church in Sicklerville, N. J., when the last dollar of the debt against the parsonage was paid The money was raised in popular man. ner. Every female member of the church wrote letter to all the boys that were her schoolmates in bygone days, no matter where they now lived. soliciting contributions The men members likewise wrote to their schoolgirl sweethearts of long ago. Many pleasant correspondence de- veioped, and it is said some of the letters were calculated to revive the spark of affection that was kindled when the writers were youngsters, but as husbands and wives were allowed DO read one anothers letters not case of jealousy is recorded. The money came in so fast that in short time the entire debt was paid of, and as the contributions are still coming in the parsonage will be frightened by new coat of paint

If we Georgians had had any idea that Louis

have spoken UP for the Ogeechee Swamp when
the thing was first mentioned.

there would go up protests in ccndem-

That's difference, don't you
think7
And Minnesota, with surely as
much area as Tennessee, has a popu-
lation smaller than our own by some
quarter of a million people.
The governor did not say that as
Minnesota has done, so have been
doing Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Ne
braska, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Texas; Alabama, Georgia,
the two Virgirias, N Carolina. New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and
Providence knows how many others,
He did not suggest that the rail-
roads should improve their service;
that out of their earnings they should
put on more cars and should do a lit
tie double tracking in the interest
of our lives and our commerce.
He did not intimate shat fer years
there had been under assessments for
the railroads as compared with TIE
individual, and that were the former
corrected, the burden of the latter
would be lessened or completely re-
moved.
He did not decry the railroad lob
byists who have for more than a gen
Grafton been poisonous pests about
the halls Of legislation.
Instead, the governor has become
the acknowledged candidate of the
most vicious and pernicious railroad
system that ever looted and tyran-
nized and bullied and dominated a
state. The newspaper property of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
is the governors special and most
zealous champion for a continuance
in power.
1t Is for him because the railroad
behind it, appreciating the dainty
delicacy Of his interference with the
railroads status wants Mr.. Patter-
son to stay where he is.
1t wants him to keep down "anti-
railroad mania"
1t wants him to be the purveyor of
their messages of assurance TO those
people who have not been altogether
satisfied
1t wants him to o. k. their pledges.

TENNESSEE'S POLITICAL
STATUS.

Tennessee is far behind themoving
procession.
All around us there is evolution.
There is progress.
In Tennessee, however, the rail
roads in their fortunate, for them
selves, selection of public officials,
have plastered US up against the
stone wall of inaction.
There is nothing doing.
We have a governor who, with the
Endorsement and in the confidence of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
is satisfied to occupy himself in the
construction of a political machine
to continue him in high place.
He has closely associated with him,
in methods at least, a railroad CON-
mission which has shared his feeling
of antipathy to any noise, any agita-
ton, which would disturb the rail
roads in their happy sense of secur-
ity and in the autocratic exercise of
cheap franchises, unlimited license
and the unchecked power Of toll
gathering without contributing more
than minimum to the expenses of
maintaining the states government.
We have a governor who, during
a long legislative session, never in all
his messages and addresses felt called
upon to say one word to legislators
as to railroad matters.
He did not suggest that in the gen.
eral plan of rate reduction Tennes-
see should demand the same rates
that her neighboring states were re-
ceiving
He did not suggest that in Tennes-
see the railroads were not paying the
taxes that they should be paying.
He did not tell his Legislators that
in Minnesota, the railroads charge 2
cents per mile, give cheapened freight
rates and at the same time pay an
nually into the state treasury an hon.
est contribution from their excess of
earnings about $3,5o0,000. In Ten
nessee we have had no sort Of rate
concessions, and the railroads last
year paid in taxes $226,000.

Poor Lindsay.

Paul Lindsay writes long card in the
Atlanta Constitution trying to squirm out of
the nasty deal he made with Lon Livingston
concerning that snub of Mr.. Watson at the
National r. F. D. Convention
Clark Howell gives Lindsay's card great
prominence-so much so, indeed, that it raises
a suspicion that Clark, after ALL was in the
little game.
Lindsay's card is SO different from the pri-
vate letter which he wrote to Mr. Watson that
the Jefersonian will, next week, publish said
letter

rors.t., unnatural pe.th.

The life Of nearly all forests is cut
short by fire or by the hand OF the
lumberman. When a spruce forest Is
entirely destroyed by fire young
spruces do not at once spring up and
cover the burned area. The seed bear
ing cones have been burned. and the
spores and seeds Of other plants which
are readily carried by the wind find
their way in first The task Of prepar-
ing for the forest is begun again, but
this time 1t Is to be shorter one. The
first year after the fire MOSES and
often tiny Towering plants appear.
These are replaced by the freweed
and other flowers whose seeds are pro-
vided with hairs 80 that they reach
such places quickly. These are soon
Joined by raspberries, roses and other
bushes. Among these the young seed
lings of aspens appear in a very few
years. The latter grow rapidly and in
a score of years form low sunny for
est. An aspen forest makes brilliant
contrast with the dark green forests
of spruce.-St Nicholas.

There are held here many ''coufden.
ttai weddings" as they are called
when the ceremony is kept unusually
quiet. But sometimes they are too con.
fdential to please the relatives Of the
parties. The coercion of prospective
brides under such circumstances is q
proceeding well authenticated In fact
and fiction. A kidnapped bridegroom,
however, Is unusual, though he hap
pened at st. Georges not long ago
He was a gentleman of position, and
he wished to marry lady who had
nursed him through an Illness. There
was no cause or just impeachment save
social rank. The gentleman was de-
termined. and the lady seconded his
plans admirably. But the day and the
details leaked out, and before the time
fixed the bridegroom's male relatives
deployed strategically through Mad
dox street and surrounded the church.
He drove up in hanson cab. With
his eyes fixed on the expectant bride,
he prepared to alight. An athletic I'M
Gle and a brother sprang forward,
thrust him back, with "Giad to meet
you, old fellow" manner that deceived
the cabman, who obeyed the quick d.
rection he heard and drove the three
away. The lady, with tears in her
eyes, went into the vestry. There
will be no wedding" she said.
They've run away with him" And
that was the last st. Georges heard OF
them.-London Mail.

There Is nothing like a sense OF
humor," said a naval officer, according
to the Philadelphia Bulletin. I'm a
woman. in a soldier, In a sailor, in a
clerk, sense of humor Is help and
n blessing through life. At the same
time even a sense of humor may exist
in excess. |, for my part shouldn't
care to have so great n sense Of humor
as British soldier l once heard about.
This soldier was ordered to be fiOgged.
During the fogging he laughed con-
tinually. The lash was laid on all the
harder, but under the rain of blows the
soldier laughed.
"'What are you laughing atT the
sergeant finally asked.
"'Why,' the soldier chuckled, I'm
the wrong man."

When did Ascot races begin? They
are mentioned in the first Racing Cal
endar," published in 1927, and the
usual statement is that they. were
founded by the Duke of Cumberland,
uncle Of George III. But an entry In
the accounts of the master Of the horse
in 1912 suggests that they were found
ed by Queen Anne on Aug. 9, I'LL. The
truth, no doubt, is that Ascot races,
like many other august institutions,
gradually developed from germ, so
that 1t is difficult to say when they
really began. At any rate, they were
quite the sort of thing that enthusiast
Of the turf, Queen Anne, would have
founded. She was a thorough Stuart
in this passion. 1t was her great
grandfather, James l., who encouraged,

Dehorning Calves.

There is perhaps no season Of the year
in which there are so many young calves
as in the fall, and to those who desire to
raise hornless cattle word on this sub
ject might be helpful.
1t is claimed by some who debo IN
cattle after they reach maturity that it
does them no particular harm, only
causing them few moments suffering,
but the writer knows of cases where
COWS nearly died from loss of blood or
by catching cold after having been de-
horned One neighbor who had his
cattle dehorned says his COWS were never
as good after having been dehorned as
they were before, the shock being more
than their nervous system could endure.
Then, again, there is generally an un-
slightly stub left which mars the beauty
OF an otherwise fine cow In dehorn-
ing calves all of these objections are
obviated
All that is necessary in dehorning
calves is to securely tie them as operated
on and after moistening the horn slight
ly take stick of caustic potash, which
can be secured at any drug store for s
cents, and rub the horn until it becomes
highly inhamed, but not long enough
to start the blood. If the work is prop
erly done, one application will be sufi-
cient.
The best time to dehorn calves is
when they are about week old aud
before the horn starts to grow much,
though the writer has killed the horns
on calves that were a month old BY
making couple of applications yet it
is much better that the work be dono
when the calves are younger Care
should be taken that the caustic does
not get on the skin around the horns,
rs it causes unnecessary pain. 1t should
be applied only to the tip of the horu
and it will not cause the calf much dis
comfort Exchange

A fishing yarn from Algiers: Some
Arabs were fishing from a boat with
lines off the coast when dolphin sew
enteen feet long, eleven feet in circum-
ference and weighing four tons swal-
lowed one of the baited hooks and
dashed Off at tremendous speed. The
fishermen paid out as much line as
possible and then made 1t fast. This
brought the dolphin up sharply, but
the strain snapped the line. The mon
ster then attacked the boat and cap
sized 1t, fiinglng the fishermen into the
water Other Arabs ashore waited till
the dolphin was clear of the men and
then killed 1t with rifles"
