becomes, as it is destined to be, an
important shipping point.

WEnotice that one James Andrew
Scott, of Frankfort, has broked loose
and in speeches delivered to farmers
in the Blue grass, advises them to
"tar and feather" representatives
of the trusts, who may come among
them to buy tobacco. This is the
same James Andrew Scott, who dur
ing the dark days of the State, fol-
lowing the theft of State offices and
the assassination Of Senator Goebel,
wanted to procure evidence with
which to hang Taylor and damn
the Republican party" Such dem
agogues as Scott, and others of his
ilk, will do the cause of equity no
good, and they are only delivering
these wild rawlings with the selfish
motives of the designing politician.
No true friend of equity will offer
such advice. This grand organiza-
ton, winch has Tor Its purpose the
betterment. the elevation of the
most deserving class of people on
earth, does not teach personal vio-
tence to its enemies nor destruction
to their property. 1t can win, and
is winning, without resort to bar
barous methods. Brother, when you
hear any man advocating anarchy,
for that is what it means pure and
simple, you may count him an en-
envy of the order, and one who is
seeking only personal advancement.
Violence and injustice never won a
victory in the cause of right. They
are absolutely inconsistent with that
side of the question.

HARTFORD should have another
tobacco warehouse. We are inform
ed by Mr.. Vickers, the manager of
the Hartford Tobacco Warehouse
Co.. that he could fill another house
as large as the one we have. with all
ease. We need institutions of this
kind badly and our citizens should
at once take steps to arrange for
another house. Hartford cannot af-
ford to suffer tobacco hauled to
some other town, which by its loca-
ton, properly belongs here. Another
house will be needed worse when
the railroad is completed and this

Potato Billiard Rails

Many persons will be surprised to
learn that the potato is used in
France in the manufacture of imi-
tation meerschaum pipes and "mar-
bic" billiard balls. After the. pota-
toes are peeled they are kept for
thirty-six hours in an s per cent So
luton of sulphuric acid. They are
then dried and pressed hard enough
Tor use in making pipes. Under
strong pressure they become solid
enough to be turned into billiard
balls.

COMMITTEE
APPOINTED
TO INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS At
THE POOR HoUsE-AN tx
cELLENT CHOICE.

Judge W. o. Gordon has appointed
the committee provided for BY the
County Court to investigate conditions
at the County Poor House, and no
better, fairer. more representative
committee could have been found than
the one chosen by Judge Gordon. DIR.
Otey ]. Porter is named chairman.
Mr.. Percy Chandler. Of Mt. Pleasant,
secretary. and Messrs. Thomas H. VIII
liams. Horace Polk and w. w. Steph-
enson the other members. In his let
ter of instructions Judge Gordon calls
for a careful, exhaustive examination
of present conditions and instructs the
committee to take proof as to condi-
lions in the past. and further to re-
port their finding.
1t is safe to say that with the pres
emit personnel, there will be no white
wash report, and 1t is very evident
that Judge Gordon simply wants the
true state of affairs reported and is
trying to protect no one from the PEN
atty of neglect of duty, nor have any
one censured unjustly. The Herald
win be pleased to give the public the
result of this investigation.

NIT the matter to a special committee
composed of Messrs. Cottrell, Howell

port. Sentiment for the bill is strong
and it was also the concensus of opin-
ion among the members that the Re-
formatory should be located on the
Herbert Domain.

HORSEMEN OF

ARE AT SEA OVER THE ACTION
OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Montgomery Park VIII Likely Be Cut
Up Into Building Lots in the
Near Future.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 5.-Mem.
phis race track people and the horse
owners wintering here are at sea over
the passage of the anti-racing bill,
and none will hazard an opinion as
to the outcome. All are waiting for
the meeting of the Board of Directors
of the New Memphis Jockey Club UNI
til that meeting is held. The only
thing certain is that the Jockey Club
will live within the law or cease to
exist, the high character of the men
composing that body rendering any
other surmise futile. Bankers and
business men, who hold stock In the
Jockey Club are Inundated over the
action of the Legislature, feeling that
the sins of the racing game commit
ted in other States have been visited
upon the their heads Withal, there
is feeling Of relief that the crisis
has at last been reached after the
long period of agitation and that the
stockholders may now turn their at
tention to other things. Their invest
ment has always been a paying one,
conducted along high lines. and IL the
game is abolished Montgomery Park
may be cut into building lots and be
one of the popular subdivisions OF
Memphis.
The real sufferers are the horse
owners, who are here preparing their
charges for the spring meeting. With
the doom Of racing sounded in Arkan-
sas. they must corral the horses now
at Hot Springs and here, at Louisville,
until May, or ship to the already
crowded tracks at New Orleans.

MISS SKEFFINGTON
STATE LIBRARIAN
incumbent Unanimously Neglected by
Commission, For The Term
Of Four Years.

Miss Mary Skeffington has beer
unanimously reelected State Librarian
for the ensuing term of four years
No other name was presented or con
sidered by the Library Commission
very high compliment to the very
efficient and capable administration
of Miss Skefington. The Commission
under the act of 1901, is composed Of
Chief Justice w. d. Beard, of the Su-
preme Court. Attorney General Charles
T. Gates, Jr, and Gov. Patterson.
Thus two of the members of the
Commission who elected Miss Sketf-
ington in 1903,Judge Beard and At
torney General Gates. were members
of the Commissin which reelected her
on Saturday, Gov. Patterson being the
only new member. Miss Skeffington
is resident of Dyersburg and during
four years that she has served as Ii
brarian has made numerous friends,
and her administration of the respon-
sible Office which she holds has been
very acceptable.
The term of the Librarian under the
act of 1901 vesting the election in a
Commission is four years, SO that
Miss Skeffington's new term will not
expire until February, 1911. The new
system of electing the Librarian has
given general satisfaction, and that
1t has proven acceptable to the pub
lie was evinced few days ago. when
the bill of Representative Mcfarland
to repeal the law was promptly recon-
TOR the table by the Judiciary
Committee of the House. This rec
will without doubt be
in by the House.

DEPUTY SHERIFF

TEXAS SENATOR WAS OUT ON
THE WAR PATH-coINe RIGHT
AFTER WITNESS.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb 5.-Quite a
dramatic scene was enacted in the
Bailey investigation today shortly
after the Legislative Committee re
sumed consideration Of the charges
against the Senator.
E. N. Mentz, Of Houston. was on
the stand when Representative Cooke.
who is prosecuting the charges
against the Senator asked Mr.. Mentz
If Col. Cowart, of Dallas, went to New
York to see Bailey while the latter
was there, ostensibly to have his
throat treated, but really to attend
to business for the Kirby Lumber Co.
Senator Bailey, who had Just enter
ed the room a few minutes before,
arose and said that any one who said
that Cowart went to New York to see
him was liar.
The witness understood that Bailey
meant him, and arose in HIS seat and
declared emphatically that he would
allow no man to call him a liar. He
asserted that he was not a willing
witness, but, so help me God, will
allow no man TO call me a liar," he
shouted.
Senator Bailey started for the wit
ness, who seemed ready to meet him.
Deputy Sheriff White stopped Senator
Bailey. and trouble was avoided.
The Senator then apologized to the
committee, declaring that he had been
irritated so much during the past few
weeks that he could hardly help his
action. He asserted that 1t was hard
to keep from denouncing what he
knew to be lies
Representative Cooke retorted that
Bailey had legal advisers who were
able to take care of his interests.
