COW ORDINANCE
SQUIRE FARISS HOLDS THAT THE
SEGREGATED LAW is LEGAL
AND BINDING.

The first test of the segregated COW
law was decided Tuesday by Esq.
Fariss, the decision being in favor of
the city. The police force arrested a
COW belonging to Kin Cherry one day
last week and placed her in the pound.
The owner refused to pay the fees
amounting to $3.50 and took out a
replevin warrant for his property be-
fore Esq. Fariss. The case was heard
on its merits Friday, but Esq. Fariss
withheld his opinion until yesterday,
when he decided as above and issued
judgment against the owner of the
COW.

ANTI-INJUNCTION
AND PROHIBITION
n Sc ISSUES WILL CAUSE LIVE
LY FIGHT AT DENVER
CONVENTION.

DENVER, Col, June 29.-The fight
over the anti-injunction plank in the
Democratic platform is not the only
struggle in which the Committee on
Resolutions, and possibly the conven-
ton itself, may be involved. 1t devel-
oped today that the prohibition ques-
ton is to be brought to the front and
that a desperate effort will be made
to have a plank declaring in its favor
placed in the platform. This move
ment will be headed by Gen. James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, who demanded of
the recent Democratic Convention in
that State that it declare in favor of
prohibition. Gen. Weaver and his fol-
lowers were not successful in their eff
forts in their own State, but, nothing
daunted by their failure, have made
arrangements to bring the matter up
before the Democratic National Con-
vention They claim, moreover, to
have strong backing from number
of the delegates from the Southern
States which have recently passed pro-
hibition laws, and it is declared con-
fidently by Gen. Weaver's adherents
that if the Democratic National plat
form does not contain a prohibition
plank it will only be for the reason
that the hardest kind OF fighting has
been unable to secure its adoption.
Anti-Injunction.
The anti-injunction plank continues
to provoke a large amount of discus
sion among such party leaders as have
already arrived for the convention. |
While opinion differs as to the exact |
nature of the plank which should be
adopted, all are of one mind in saying |
it shall be a definite and specific state
ment and shall leave no possible
doubt in the mind of any reader as to
where the party stands on this ques-
ton.
1t is now generally believed, how
ever that the resolution will not pro-
vide for trials by jury in cases Of con-
tempt of court or favor in any way
measures which might be construed
as interfering with the prerogatives
Of the Federal courts.

GREAT PROFITS
FROM POTATOES
WILL YIELD NOT LESS THAN $780,
600 TO THE GROWERS OF
MAURY COUNTY.

The Irish potato crop in Maury coun
ty has grown to an enormous extent
The first crop alone, which is onw
about cleaned up, will bring into the
county nearly 100000 The crop is
not as large as the preceding years
but the quality is excellent, and has
commanded the very highest price
selling from first hands at $500 to
1925 per barrel, while some extra
fancy crops have been sold for $2.75
per barrel.
The local buyers have al sold well
and have cleaned up nice profits, sell
ing the entire crop at about $125,000.
The following buyers have handled
the following number of cars: F. F..
Clawson, of Ashwood, 32 cars; Mich
OILS & Sicily, Columbia, 40 cars; Cal
lender & Co., Columbia. rs cars; Park
Bros. Columbia, 25 cars; Culleoka
Produce Co., Culleoka, 25 cars; making
a total of lat cars in the county.
The second crop will be planted the
first of next month, in fact some grow
ers have already begun planting. This
crop is more profitable than the first
crop and as the acreage will be much
larger 1t is estimated, provided the
season is good, that the second crop
will net S25O000.

IMMUNITY BASIS
FOR WITNESSES
ALLEGED IN RUMOR OF COMING
TESTIMONY IN SHERIFF
SHIP CASE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 30
The hearing of the contempt case OF
Sheriff J. F. Ship, growing out of the
| lynching OF the negro Ed Johnson
will be resumed fore United States
! Commissioner Maher here at 10 o'clock
tomorrow. District Attorney James
R. Penland, of Knoxville, will repre-
sent the Government.
The reopening of the case today Is
for the purpose, it is stated, of exam
lining just two witnesses. This testi-
mony will be offered by the Govern
ment in the prosecution Of the cases
against Matt Galloway and Tom Tay-
lor. The defense may rebut the tes-
timony. Just who these witnesses are
no one seems to know definitely. The
defense is very much in the dark on
the subject. No one probably will
know who has caused the United
States Supreme Court to reopen the
case, and it may send Commissioner
Maher here from Washington to pre-
side until after court is called to order
this morning and the witnesses are
called in to be sworn.
A sensational rumor was going the
rounds today that the two witnesses
are defendants against whom there
was some direct and positive testi-
mony at the hearing last year. The
two who were named as the new wit
nesses have been accused as actual |
members of the mob. Furthermore, |
It is stated, the two witnesses volun- |
Leered to turn United States evidence |
On the basis of immunity promised |
by some agency, admitting they were |
members of the Johnson mob and thus
what they said under +
bath at the former hearing. The two
witnesses in question will say, so it is
stated, that they did not tell the truth
1t the former hearing because they
cared that some violence would be
lone them. They are expected to
ay tomorrow that two sheriff's depu-
les were present and participated
When Ed Johnson was lynched.

ANNIVERSARY OF

FoRTY-FoUR YEARS AGO sATUR
DAY THE GREAT FIGHT
TOOK PLACE.

Forty-four years ago on June p
1864, occurred the blodoy fight at the
Dead Angie" in the Georgia campaign
where the First Tennessee Infantry
again covered itself with glory and
''shingled the ground" with dead Fed.
eral soldiers. There was one peculiar
incident of this battle that Maury
countians wilr always recall with
pride. AS the Federals advanced in
column against the line held by the
First Tennessee, volunteers were
called for to roll the chevaux-de-frise
against the charging ranks. Billy
Graham and Bob Holmes of Company
H offered to do it. They turned loose
heavy log from the breast works,
and as it rolled down the hill, the
crushing of the bones of the Federal
soldiers could be distinctly heard
Graham and Holmes hurried back
over the intrenchments into the Con
federate line, each bringing an I'M
mashed prisoner Graham was killed
a few days later, and strange to say
was buried by the same men who had
buried his brother in the Virginia
year before to the very
day and hour. Bob Holmes went
through the war surrendering with
Joe Johnson in North Carolina, and is
now living near Santa Fe.

poise and judgment which would have

''It's the same way with men of too
precise temperament, although with
men the instances are not so great in
number, for the very good reason that
even the most precise of them have to
act quickly under the spur of necessity
more often than women. But a we'll
developed case of business is more
serious in man than in a woman. His
clearing of the decks for an action of
consequence degenerates into petty
slavery to trifles and sooner or later
he finds that his business, to say moth
ing of his peace of mind, suffers as a
result.
There is one rule that such people
should steel themselves to follow, and
that is to take the biggest thing first
and dispose of it. Putting it off till
minor affairs are out of the way is no
economy of time or effort. The little

FUssINESs THAT DOES HARM.
Petty Slavery to Trifles Bad for Either
Man or Woman.

There's an instinct of orderliness,"
said a doctor, that sometimes works
harm 1t is in the instinct that mani
tests itself in the clearing up of null
titude of little things before really big
thing is undertaken.
81 see a good many instances of it in
my practice, more, perhaps, in the case
of women than of men. 1t comes from
a desire to free ones mind for the i'm
portant task, and, like numerous other
desires that work out rather different
ly from what we intend, is in itself
commendable enough. A woman, for
example, has letter Of moment to
write. Does she sit down and write
that letter? No, the chances are that
she doesn't. Other matters to which
she has to attend crowd in upon her,
and off she goes, doing first this thing
and then that, the thought of the letter
in her mind all the time. When her
breathing spell arrives and she sits at
her desk 1t is quite likely that she is
