TO ASCERTAIN A HORSES AGE.
Every horse has six teeth above ans
below; before three years old he
sheds his middle teeth; at three he
sheds one more on each side of the
central teeth; at four he sheds the
two corner and last of the fore-teeth.
Between four and Eve the horse cuts
the under tusks; at Eve will cut his
upper tusks, at which time his mouth
will be complete. AT six years the
grooves and hollows begin to fill up
little; at seven the grooves will
be well night filled up. except the
corner teeth, leaving little brown
spots where the dark brown holiows
formerly were. At eight, the whole
of the hollows and grooves are filed
UP. AT nine there is often seen a
small bill to the outside corner teeth;
the point of the tusk is worn of,
and the part that was concaye be.

COW Feed.


No animal likes variety of food
more than COW does, and none pays
greater return for it than the COW.
The Dairy Review in abiding to this
matter says that for tho stimulation
of appetite and aid in digestion some
of her feeds should be green and
succulent, such as roots and silage for
winter. Some linseed meal should be
given at frequent intervals. It is
not only a rich feed, but an excel,
lent regulator of the digestive organs.
Clover and alfalfa hay are both rich
in milk-forming elements and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, because cows greatly rel
ish the grain and it helps In forming
Jbutterfat and in producing animal
heat. Give the cows about all they
will clean up at each feed, but shift
change often, not only the kinds, but
the amounts of each kind at differ
emit times. This change gives a slim
ulating variety to feeds, and the
cows thrive and produce on it.

ALMOST READY
FOR FOUNDATION
EXCAVATION FOR PosToFFlcE
BUILDING WILL BE FINISHED
LAST OF NEXT WEEK.

Rapid progress is being made on the
work of excavating for the foundation
of the postofice building. Hundreds
Of loads of dirt have been hauled
away, the excavation in some places
being over six feet. Bad weather has
interferred very little with this fea-
ture aud 1t is expected that by the
latter part of next week the work will
be ready for the stone foundation.
Unless there should be something un-
forseen to occur the laying of the foun-
dalton will begin one week from next
Monday and will be pressed with all
possible haste. The contract for the
brick work has been awarded to Thos.
Simpson, of Columbia and the laying
of brick will comence long before
Spring. From the rapid manner in
which work has progressed on this
building since the contract was award
ed there appears no reason to doubt
that it will be ready for occupancy by
the date fixed by the government, jan
uary 1, 1910.

STRONG APPEAL
FOR PROHIBITION
REV. A. {. CLEMENT DELIVERS
ABLE DISCOURSE ON SUBJECT
At FIRST N. {. CHURCH.

Responding 70 the request OF the
Wesley Brotherhood OF the Tennessee
Conference. the Anu-Saloon League
and the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, Rev. A. E. Clement on
sun -qs morning made a strong plea
for Statewide prohibition and for
civic righteousness. He took for his
text. the words of the Savior Rem
der unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars and unto God the things that
are Gods" Mr. Clement earnestly
defended the right of the Churches of
Christ to interpose in behalf of moral
and civic reforms. He answered well
the specious arguments of the defen-
ders OF the whisky power that church
people should not participate in politi-
cal affairs. He referred to the reign
of lawlessness in this State and to the
necessity for vigorous action on the
part of the godly element of the popu-
lation to redeem Tennessee from the
blight that is up on 1t.
At the Christian Church, Elder W.
s. Morton occupied the pulpit in the
morning, the pastor, Rev. w. T. Boaz,
having an appointment to preach in
the country. Mr.. Boaz filled the pull
pit Sunday night, however, and added
his voice to the Statewide appeals for
the cause of prohibition.
Owing to the fact that the request
for a general observance of the day
did not come until after arrangements
had been made for other services the
occasion was not as generally OBJ
served as otherwise 1t would have
been.

pany. be said.
Mr.. Schwab answered all questions
asked him with gratifying frankness.
He said that the price OF steel rails
was fixed by most OF the American
manufacturers at S2S In 1895 or 1896:
that in 1895 during the steel war"
this price was not maintained, but
that following the war" it was again
agreed TO maintain that price. Since
then no manufacturer has attempted
TO lower this Erice for fear of pre-
cipitating another conflict. Referring
again to foreign countries Mr.. Schwab
said:
The labor conditions in England
are the worst OF any manufacturing
country in the world" He said that
the German Government does more
than any other for its manufacturers
and that the steel makers in that
country are farther advanced in the
methods of manufacture than those in
this country.

STOCKARD CHOATE
DEAD In ALABAMA
MYSTERY SURROUNDS HIS DE.
MISE AND FOUL PLAY is ONE
THEORY ADVANCED.

| News was received here late Tuesday
night and at Williamsport announcing
/ the death OF Stockard Choate at Bell
Ellen, Ala, a suberb of Birmingham.
DR.. Eugene Ragsdale, of Williamsport,
received a telephone message from
Richard Charlton, a former Maury
countian, stating that Stockard was
dead, but did not give any details as
to how he met his death. 1t was re-
ported here that his throat was cut,
but this is not authentic. Choate
was man of about 26 years of age
and was in the employ of the Alabama
Fuel, Coal and Steel Company, at Ac-
ton, Ala. Choate is supposed to have
left Acton early Tuesday morning for
Birmingham, as it is the custom of the
employees of the mines to go away
from Acton right after pay day for a
few days, and the employees had been
paid off the day before.
The body Of young Choate was not
discovered until seven o'clock last
night and it is not known here where
or In what condition. Some seem to |
think that he was murdered and |
robbed while others think that young
Choate met death at his own hands, !,
but no definite information can be
secured.
Young Choate was the son of the
ate J. P. Choate, deceased and leaves
wo sisters and one brother, Mrs. Eu-
rene Ragsdale, of Williamsport, Mrs
Robert Lowe, of Memphis and Rucker
'hoate of Columbia. He also has a
tep-mother living and some half
rothers and sisters.

CHAS, M. SCHWAB
ON STEEL TARIFF
--AE7CNTED WITH a LETTER
TOUCHING COST OF MAX
ING RAILS.
CaELD COMPLETE WITH ENGLAND
Ntrs years Ago, But Now He Tells
Very Different
Story.

WASHINGTON, Dec IA large
nns OF information regarding the cost
Of making steel was given the House
Was and Means Committee today by
Chas ~ Schwab, of New York.
Chairman Payne. Of the committee,
began a cross-hre of questions by ask
Mr.. Schwab about letter which had
been referred to by a previous wit
ness. This letter was written by Mr..
schWab 10 Henry c. Prick May. 16,
1899 and stated that rails were being
made for less than SIP ton, or nearly
s. less than the cost in England. In
The letter Mr.. Schwab predicted that
the Carnegie Steel Company, of which
he was then President, would be able
10 increase its net earnings to $780,
boo a month, and said it could sell all
of its surplus production abroad at a
profit nearly equal to the profit on
domestic sales.
Before proceeding with his testi-
mony Mr. Schwab said that the Beth
Iehem Steel Company. of which he is
President, is not affiliated with the
United States Steel Corporation, but
ne said that he was a stockholder in
the latter corporation. The steel mag.
nate said that the letter in regard to
which he was being questioned had
been prepared at Mr.. Tricks solicita-
ton and was written in an optimistic
vein.
Mr.. Schwab gave a detailed state
ment of the cost of making pig iron
and steel rails, which indicated that
the present cost of making pig iron is
S14 a ton as compared with So ton
in 1899, while the cost of steel rails
today is $21.50 a ton as compared
with $12 a ton nine years ago.
Mr.. Scwab stated that in Germany
the cost of producing pig iron Is from
$3.50 to $12 ton, while the cost of
conversion into steel is about the
same as in this country. The cost of
manufacture in England is little less
than in Germany.
If the tariff on steel should be con-
siderably reduced, would the steel
business be seriously affected?" asked
Mr.. Hill, of Connecticut.
II conditions are equal, we can
make steel rails as cheap as they can
be made anywhere" replied Mr..
Schwab.
The cost of manufacturing steel |
depends on two conditions; the cost |
Of the material In the ground and the
cost Of labor. If these conditions are
he same as elsewhere, we don't need
he tariff, but if the cost of transporta-
ion or labor or something else is
greater here, we need a tariff for pro-
eetion."
Mr.. Schwab claimed that he was not
ware of any understanding between
he United States Steel Corporation
nd the German steel syndicate and
he English rail syndicate. He said
hat there was not as much competi-
on between the domestic steel manu-
