The pestiferous rat is proving to be
commercially valuable for other pur-

found with some of his friends, who
said he had shot himself through the

FIRE IN ROWESVILLE.
Over 1000, 900 Feet Of Cypress Tim.
ber DESTROYED.

Rowesvil1e, Jan. 24.-This morn
ing at 4 o'clock the citizens Of Rowes-
vile were awakened by an alarm OF
fire at Blakes mill, and upon investi-
cation it was found that the cypress
lumber stacked on the yard was on
fire. Fully 200 men were soon on the
spot, but all efforts to confne the
fire to a few stacks were unavailing
The yard contained about2, 100000 to
2,500,0O0 feet, and covered at least
five acres of land. ..
Practically all of the lumber was
totally destroyed. Owing to the fore
sight of Mr.. Blake. the lumber was
stacked good distance from the mill
and buildings, none of which were de.
stroyed. The fire when at it's height
presented a weird scene and the heat
was terrific.
It is understood that the lumber
was insured for about 80 per cent. Of
it's value, and it is hoped that Mr.
Blake's loss will not be very great.
The value of lumber destroyed is
approximately $4,000. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The watch
man discovered the fire when on hi
rounds and promptly gave the alarm
This is the most disastrous fire which
has ever occurred here. -

Less for Negro Schools.

bill that is going to make the people
zof the country sit up and take notice.
Its practical effect is to be the elim.-
nation of the appropriations for me-
gro schools He proposes to have two
separate school funds and to permit
the taxpayer to give his taxes for. the
benefit of either one that he wishes.
One will be for the white schools and
the other for the negro schools. Cor
porations may choose in the same
way and the governor will appoint an
attorney for foreign corporations who
shall direct how the taxes are to be
placed. This bill is said by some OF
the solicitors who have examined it to
be constitutional and it will be more
than likely to pass the house, though
the conservative senate may kill it.

PASSED OVER VETO.
Tennessee Legislature Disregards

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20.-Over
the veto of Gov. Patterson, both
houses of the legislature passed the
senate bill which prohibits the sale OF
intoxicating liquors within four miles
of school house in Tennessee and is
in effect a Statewide prohibition act.
It is effective July /, 1909. The vote
in the senate was the same as on the
original passage.
The house acted at $40 this after
noon, the vote standing 81 to SO, the
original vote there having been 62 to
81. In each house the passage was
effected through a combination OF
Republicans and Statewide" Demo
Gratis. ,.. ..s
The galleries were packed in both
houses and the debates following
the reading of tho governors mes
sage were bitter, i
!. The action of the legislature to-
day practically brings to close one
of the most bitter and sensational po-
Utica, fights in the history of Ten
nessee. Statewide prohibition was
the main issue in the recent contest
between Gov. Patterson and Senator
E. w. Carmack for the Democratic
gubernatoTial nomination, and
though Patterson, who advocated To-
cal option, won the nomination, the
legislature elected November last, al
the same time that he was, has after
stormy times gone against him. This
came, however, with the aid Of Re-
publicans, who gave the bill % votes
in the house and five in the senate.
The bill to prohibit the manufac-
ture of intoxicating liquor il Ten.
nessee after January /, 1910, passed
the senate to-day and is expected to
pass the house tomorrow.

DIVORCE A HOME PRODUCT.
Native-Born Whites Chief Offenders
Against Marriage Laws.

Increase of divorce in the United
States cannot be attributed to the in
fuence of aliens. 1t must be recog-
nized as one OF the developments Of
national life for which the native
born American must accept respon-
sibility, if statistics are to be be-
lieved.. In the February Delineator
Charles A. Ellwood, professor OF so
ciology, University of Missouri, says:
Divorce is not an evil which the
foreign-born and the negro have
brought to us, for it especially chars
acterizes the. native. white, that Is,
the lpreeminently American element
in. the population. It is about twica
as high among the, native whites as
among the foreign-born. This leads
one to-. suspect that divorce has
something to do with the; Individual
ism of the American people, the ten
.dency among us for each one to do
as he pleases, to be; a. law unto him
self. This is borne out by the fact
that in those sections Of the country
lin which individualism is most high
|ly developed, the divorce rate Is
highest, namely, in New England
and the Western States. It is borne
out also by the fact that divorce is
moren than four times as common
among Protestants as among Cath
olics. The Protestant element In the
population is the element in which
individualism is more highly develop
ed: besides, the Roman Catholic
church refuses to sanction absolute
divorce upon any ground.
Finally, two-thirds Of all divorces
are granted upon demand of:4zthe
wife. This suggests that the stand
ards of morality Of the male element
of the population are not what they
should be, and that. husbands too
often give ground, for divorce by I'M
moral conduct. Higher standards OF
morality are necessary as civilization
advances. and conduct which the
wife overlooked in the. husband a
half-century ago, or bore In silence
now becomes a ground for divorce.
This last statement suggests an
other cause for increasing divorce in
this country, and that is the emanci-
patton of woman. Woman has now
almost equal rights with man, and
has achieved: her economic, intel
lectual and moral as well as legal in
dependence of man. This has been
good thing in itself, but many women
have used their freedom to empha-
size their rights rather than their
duties, and consequently have rem
dered the family life less stable. In
so far as the movement for "wo-
mans rights" has been simply an ex-
preston OF growing individualism or
sellshness on the part Of our women,
it has tended, like all individualism,
to destroy the home.
