DETROIT. Mich, Jan. 27.-Nearly
10000 people paid tribute this after.
noon to the memory of Senator r. A.

City Hall. For three hours and a

soldiers who had served in the Civn

DEATH KNELL
For the South Carolina State Dispen-

COLUMBIA, S. O.. Jan. 24.-What
is believed to be the death knell Of
the South Carolina State dispensary
was sounded today In the State Sen

that there was a majority of that body
against the institution.
Senator Cole L. Blease, recently
defeated dispensary candidate for Gov.

almost came to blows just after the
vote was taken. Blease criticised
McGhee for what he called running
about the floor counting the votes,
and threatened to introduce Feso-

the Senate McGhee was vrey much
agitated and but for the prompt In
reference OF friends there would have
been a personal encounter.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT
THE LAYING HEN - ~
~ ~ VS.. THE GUTTER

1t is distressing TO know the in
creased number of fanciers who con
tend that it is detrimental to the her
for her to lay during the winter
months, and some go so far as to dis
courage it. For instance, If a hen
shows a disposition to lay in The win
ter, she is taken from the pen and
placed in another to break her up.
Why dc they do this? you ask. 1t
Is to save the hen for early spring lay
ing. they contend, when the eggs can
be sold at long and fancy price. Some
claim that a hen will lay more stead
lily in the spring after having rested
during the cold winter months. That
the constant laying on the part OF the
hen weakens her.
Well, is that the case? I doubt it.
But for arguments sake, l will grant
that it is, and then l will ask those
fanciers who indulge in the like, If
they are not encouraging something
that will make against their stock in
after years? Are you not going con-
trary to the wishes and wants of the
consumer? Let the hen lay every day
IL she will Encourage her in it. Feed
her to that end Nature provides a
rest for her each year, in the fall when
she is moulting and taking on new
dress. Then, the fancie- is want to say, |
that winter time is the most trying time
on her during the year, and that she
needs the several months between the
moulting season and the time for mat
ing, in which to recuperate and get
back to her former self.
That is not the case. will admit
that the melting season is hard on the
hen, but if she is properly fed and car
ed fer she will come out just as fat
and plump as when she commenced,
and in some cases she will begin to
lay Immediately after molting. There
are instances where hens have laid
steadily during the entire melting sea-
son. have one that has never stop ,
bed. These are the kind of hens that
should be kept as foundation stock

ell him eggs from hen that has been t
and trained to lay only I

THE CORN

ON A NEGRo's PREMISES.
JOHN CASH Is THERE
FORE IN JAIL.

A case of unusual interest was vi
before Esq. Guest Friday, and result
ed in John Cash, colored, the defen
dant, being bound over to court and
remanded to Jail.
John worked for Rev. NJ e. Gabard
and one of his duties was to feed Mr.
Gabard's stock. Tb" rapid disappear
ance of Mr.. Gabard's corn aroused Mr..
Gabard's suspicious, SO he decided to
lay some plans tt trace the rapidly
disappearing grain. He had a lot of
corn shucked up and drove some small
poplar pegs into the ends of the cobs
A few days later an examination of
Johns premises was made and one of
the pegged cobs was found in his hog
pen,one in his chicken coop and three
in his stable. John was arrested and
when the case came to trial and these
facts were brought out, John could
not sit still, but arose and said: YES.
suspicioned some one of stealing my
corn, SO / shucked up lot of it and
driv some oak pegs in the ends OF
the cob to see if / could not catch the
thief. When John took the stand
he said he got five ears of corn out of
Mr.. Gabards crib to feed that gem
Lleman's sheep: That he shelled the |
corn to the sheep and stuck the cobs |
n his pocket. That when he got |
home he saw chicken in his hog pen
ind threw one of the cobs at it, That
It the house his children asked him
or some cobs to play with and he gave
hem the other four. That he saw
hem pitch one of the cobs in the
hicken coop and they went on toward

John made some threats as to what
e would do to his wife and to Mr.
Iabard when he got home, so Judge
folding issued an injunction restrain

CLAIMS IN

Lots Of Dickson countians Want Some
Of Uncle Sans Money.

CHARLOTTE, Tenn, Jan. 24.-Fo
the past few days the Offices of loca
attorneys have been beseiged by citi
zens, both white and black, who have
recently learned that Congress has
made an appropriation to pay off a
decree of the Court of Claims of the
Eastern Cherokees.
1t is surprising to note how anxious
many seem to be to prove their Indian
ancestry, and thus participate in the
distribution of the said fund.
All claims or applications have to
be fled with the Indian Commissioner
by Jan. 81, 1907.
From some cause, this matter had
not become known In this section I'M
til a few days ago, but the news has
spread rapidly, and lawyers. notaries
and clerks, of courts are doing land
office business, in perspective, their

Monthly Meetings
Of Association.

There Is no reason why the people
of this section should not raise
the very best fowls the world can pro-
duce. We have the climate, neither
too hot nor too cold, the fine pasture
lands, the best facilities, and above
all fine cultured people to do the
work To raise the best we must
know how, get the best breeds and
strains, and then bring them up to
the highest standard OF perfection pos
sible. The know how" is most i'm
portant thing. It is necessary to take
good wholesome literature, purchase
first class books and spend hours of
silent thought and study over them,
cleaning here and there the cream
that is written and published, utiliz-
ing 1t to the best advantage. While
this is highly elevating and tends to
superior knowledge. yet there is an
other important feature that should
not be overlooked, and that is social /
contact with each other In an associa-
tional capacity. Every other enter
prise IN order to succeed must be or
yanized and have meetings to bring !
out the necessary features. Then
why should we not? The. adj
,antages to be gained in such
meetings are many and too
numerous to mention just here. One

it is the vermin that is permitted to

GREAT CON-
TRACT GOES
TO OLIVER
TENNEssEAN's BID ON PANAMA
CANAL WORK ACCEPTED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.


: WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Followini
} a conference at the White House to
: night it was oficialIy announced tina
the contract for building the Panami
Canal would be awarded to VIM.
Oliver, who, with Arson NJ Bangs
was the lowest bidder in the recent
competition. provided that within the
next ten days he associates himself
with at least two independent con-
structors whose skill AMI experience,
combined with his own, shall cover the
entire field of the woHk to be perform
ed under the contract.
The official announcement tonight
confirms the Associated Press state
ment Of last Friday night. President
Roosevelt then took the position that,
since Mr.. Oliver had met all the re-
quirements of the Government 1t would
be unjust to reject his bid of CTS per
cent. for the construction of. the canal
or even require him to submit new
bid for the contract Mr. Oliver had
informed the President that it was his
desire to submit an independent bid
for the work and that whe nthe canal
Commission officials informed him
that it would be necessary to form a
partnership with some other financial |
ly responsible contractor, they even |
went so far as to suggest that he en-
ter an agreement with. Arson MI
Bangs, of New York City. Mr.. oliver
said that after receiving this sugges-
ton from Chairman Shonts, he visited
the War Department and was inform
ed that Mr.. Bangs would be entirely
satisfactory to the Government. Mr..
Oliver told the President that, with
his assurance as to the reliability
If Mr. Bangs, he Immediately entered
nto an agreement with the New York
contractor.
In Justice to Oliver.
Powerful influences we're brought
o bear on the President and Secretary
aft to reject all bids and advertise
or new proposals, but the President
assisted that Mr. Oliver should be Civ
n reasonable time in which to make
satisfactory arrangement to substi-
ute some other contractor or group Q
contractors to take the place of
Ir. Bangs. Ii
At the White House conference Sat- k
rday night the friends of the Mac a
syndicate argued that
lie contract figure should be increas-
to 8 per cent. of the cost of the n
instruction and that the contract be q
varded to Oliver, Macarthur and
llespie. This suggestion, however, et
d not meet with the approval of the
sw York firm who insisted that they
uld not unertake the work for less
an 1850 per cent, of the total cost, 80
g figure mentioned in their original
l. The President, Secretary Taft DR.
d the Canal Commission officials Ia
an decided to award the contract to
:. Oliver, provided he could make
tisfactory arrangements with at !.
st two other firms OF responsible =,
ltractors.

Boosting a King.

Every once In awhile something
comes up to show that the average king
has about as much human nature as his
humber fellows could show at a civil
service examination for that useful
quality.
Just a few days ago Edward some
body, we do not know his other name,
who is said by those who have meas
ured him to be every inch a king, got
in on the right side of a great American
speculation in stocks and came out to
the good several million dollars.
Over in England, where they think
the king can do no wrong, the tax pay
,ers who have been financing Edward
for quite a bunch of years approved Of
the speculation and doubtless it was all
right but it goes to show that a king
likes a sure thing as well as the man
who has no royal blood in his veins that
he knows Of However, we can see
trouble ahead. His friends will have
to put up a fence to keep away gold
brick men who will want to give him
a chance to duplicate the performance.
