the Rock GrainCo., is a son of these
people. H. S. Gwinn occupied the
southeast quarter. He sold out and
moved to this city, later moving to
Oklahama. Bavid Jobes had the north

were trap to catch the unwary and
urged farmers to go slow or they
would lend their aid to building up
the old monopoly that oppressed
them a years ago. He reviewed at.
length the conditions of 1903 and
1904 and contrasted the prices re-
ceived this year with those of the
past.
He referred to the recent Burley
sale and declared that the grievances
complained of could not be remedied
by holding public meetings but the
proper plan was to go before the
officers Of the association for correc-
ton. If loose sales were resumed,
the farmer would have no more
chance to be prosperous than a cat
would have to scratch out of hell
without claws.
He said the association had done
its business in the open and not in
some dark chamber, or in some back
room of bank in Hopkinsville.
The associations one per cent. was
what was hurting those who were
knocked out of their big profits.
If you pull down the bars now,
the trust buyers will think you are
demoralized and the Imperial Co.,
instead of buying 100000 pounds
now, will wait, expecting to get
your tobocco cheaper after awhile.
As the speaker wound up he grad
ually removed one garment after an
other until he stood in his shirt
sleeves, with collar unbuttoned.
He declared that he was opposed
to every form of lawlessness. He
called upon any man who wanted to
be Benedict Arnold or Judas Is
CARROT to hold up his hand.
He then called upon those who en-
dorsed his sentiments to hold up
their hands and large portion of
the crowd did so. He paid glow
ing tribute to General Manager Ew-
ing in closing.
He closed with a final appeal not
to desert the ship, and not to take a
dose of castor oil, wrapped up in
sweetmeats.
M. Washington spoke for about
an hour.

LYON COUNTY RESOLUTIONS
WENT THROUGH WITH A WHOOP
Great Gathering of Farmers and Later Meeting Address
ed by the Hon. Joseph E. Washington,
of Tennessee.

The meeting called yesterday by
Farmers" turned out to be such a
big affair that two meetings were
held. notwithstanding the rain,
which fell all during the forenoon,
the court house was packed to over
flowing at 1:3O o'clock with farmers.
Probably 800 men were present, ev-
cry part of the room being filled un-
til standing room was at a premium.
The meeting was called to order
by ex, sheriff L. r. Davis, of Crofton,
and on motion Esq. B. F. Fuller, of
Larkin, was elected chairman. Mr..
Fuller said he came as farmer in
favor of the association, but with a
desire to sell his tobacco to secure
the money needed for living ex-
penses. He did not want to pick a
fuss with any one, but did want the
association to sell both the old and
new crops and sell it so the farmer
could get the most for his money.
The organization was completed by
the election of B. F. Wood, of Balm
bridge, Secretary.
The resolutions known as the "Ly-
on Resolutions were then offered
by Frank Pool. of Era.
The Lyon county resolutions de-
manded that the 1908 crop be sold
loose by the association, and COM
planned of the treatment accorded in
the past and closing with pledge
not to sign another crop unless the
demands made were complied with.
AT the conclusion of the reading
of the resolutions W. T. Davis, of
Crofton, moved their adoption and
chey weae adopted by a storm of
ayes, followed by three or four noes.
A motion was then put to adjourn
and the meeting adjourned, while
cries were made for Washington
by association members who did not
favor the resolutions. A large part
of the crowd remained and Mr.. Jos.
E. Washington, of Tennessee, took
the stand and made a lengthy and
impassioned appeal to the members
not to be led away from their or
ganization.
He claimed that the resolutions

CAUSED BY A FLDE.
Il One .Of The Prettiest Farm
Houses In That Part
Of The County.

The beautiful country home of
Mr.. Thos. j. McReynolds, six miles
from the city on the GAINESVILLE pike,
was burned Saturday afternoon.
1t is supposed the fire originated
from the burning out of a chimney.
When discovered the upper part of
the house was in flames and nothing
)could be done to check them.
The house was occupied by Mr.. M
o. Kimerlin, who succeeded in
getting out most of his household
effects, but still sustained loss of
5000 or more on things that could
not be moved in time.
The building was insured for s.
500, but this will not cover the loss
by $4,000 or $500.
&iThe house was Gothic style cot
Fage, one and a half stories, with a
basement 1t contained seven or
eight rooms and was comparatively
new. 1t was built by Mr.. Jas. A
Radford ten or twelve years ago,
who spared no pains to make it a
beautiful and desirable country
home. 1t was built to replace 3
house that was burned.
Mr.. McReynolds also lost about
$500 worth OF furniture stored in the
attic.
He will rebuild at once. In the
meantime Mr.. Kimerlin and his
family are occupying an office in
the yard that did not burn.

demand and receive the distributive shares in an estate which belonged to Eersons in his country. and had been 6cpcsited in court, upon giving proper receipt therefor.
 In the Tartaglio case, application was made by the coasul general at New York to have paid 60 him the distribu- tive shares of the widow and five minor children of Libretto Tartaslio, an Ital- ian subject. who had died, leaving per sonal property which had been admin istered in this country and which Gistributive shares had been deposited with the county treasurer of New York pursuant to q decree Of the court. The widow and children were residents and subjects of the kingdom of Italy.
 The county treasurer opposed the ap- plicatioa on the ground that the con- sul general had no authority to re- ceive such distributive shares and give such acquittance as would relieve the treasuHr of responsibility.
 The court said: 'The rights of sub jects of foreign countries, both as to their persons and their property, large ly depends upon treaty provisions. The treaty between the United States and Italy provides that consul generals may have recourse to the authorities of their respective countries within their respective districts. whether fed eral or local. judicial or executive iD order to defend the right and interests of their countrymen.
 The term defend as used, is to be given the broadcst meaning and in cludes the power to maintain affirm atively the rights of the consul's coun- trymen and our local, as well as feder- al judiciary. must in obedience to tine treaty, recognize such rights. But in the absence of such treaty. provisions foreign consul would nave much the same power
 The consul of foreign nation rec ognized by the United States Is com petent to defend and watch over the interests of persons of his nation and may bring suits for such purposes without any special authority from the parties in interest"

Foreign consuls have authority and power to administer on the estates oi their fellow subjects, deceased within their territorial consulate, The right 10 demand and sue for necessarily i'm plies the authority to acquit and re- lease. In case of a debt due by a res i6ent of this state to the widow and children of Libretto Tartaglio there would seem 10 be no doubt not only of the eonsul's power, but his duties un- der the authorities to demand and col lect it, and if so, I can see no reason in principle that would prevent his demanding and receiving moneys and properties deposited i3 court belong ing to a subject of such consuls coun- try.

 WILL ASK SEPARATION
The End of Her Married Life Will Beoin Today.

New York. March 10.-Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw tomorrow will institute pro- ccedings for the annulment of her marriage to Harry K. Thaw The ac- ton will be based on the allegation that the defendant was insane when the union was contracted. Thaw pur- poses to defend the suit The papers in the case will be served tomorrow and an early trial is expected. In the meantime the two, by mutual agree ment. will remain apart.
 In official statements by counsel for both parties tonight it was confirmed that the long suspected continuation of the welded lives of Stanford Whites slayer and the woman whose story for the defense brought her unhappy mo- toriety as wide as the reading world. For weeks it has been gossiped that divorce was imminent. Even during Thaw's last trial. throughout which his wife stood gamely by him. it was pretty generally believed that what ever the outcome for the prisoner. the two would never again live together. These reports were frequently based on the rumCred opposition to the young woman on the part of the Thaw family.
