FEuD LAW.

Another chapter In the history Of
the Kentucky mountain feuds has
been closed in the life sentence pas
sed on Beach Hargig for the killing
of his father. Hargis received the
verdict without show Of emotion. His
mother and sister too, sat silent by
his side. Beyond the fact that the
law has passed the. only verdict that
1t could in a case like this Is it use
less to go. More interesting by far
would it be IL one could have the YER

righteousness of the law and the
business of its judgments. Blood guilt

slow, as the chance shot from the

laurel thicket may permit. But to
code and the fine-drawn arguments
of the learned counsel have no mean
ing. What did the twelve men in the
jury box have against Beach? Why
can't they be left alone to settle
their quarrels in their own way?
What has the law to do with these
family affairs, anyhow? The fact that
the elder Hargis was we'll to do and
a judge, and that the whole family
had touched the skirts of civilization,
in no way affects the argument No

color pictures, filled with romance

his life. Others less imaginative have
looked upon the same scenes anGhave

Lou wakes up, the room being dark

goes back to sleep, if dry he gets up.

many years ago.
The deepest land In the State can
be reclaimed by deep ploughing and
successive crops of cow peas without
an ounce Of commercial fertilizer or
anything else except sun, lair and rain.
Oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. with
light, heat, and cold constitute the
working force OF natures fertilizer fac
tory and Its output can be had with
out money and without price. All
that Is needed lis Intelligence, energy,
and patience im applying it. We have
all seen great embankments of sliIbsoil
clay. sand, and shale thrown up along
the borders of deep railroad cuts.
For a year or two this sterile earth
will not sprout or seed, but after a
while the sun,the rain,the atmosphere
the heat, and the cold, through dhemi
cal processes have converted this bar
rem earth into fertile soil and it is
SOON covered with vegetation that
every year grows richer and more Wig

of fruits OF deep ploughing.
OF course, the practical farmer who

low, for a few years, will not throw
the subsoil to the surface when break

MEMPHIS READY FOR VETS.
Naval Sham Battle Among Entertain
ment Features for Visitors.

+ Memphis, Tenn, May 8.-The final
meeting Of the Finance Committee
to raise money for the nineteenth
annual reunion of the united coDfed-
crate veterans has been held, and
the money Is practically in hand for
the entertainment Of the $50 900 vet
Grams and guests expected on the 9Th.
9th and 10th of June. The pro-
gramme Is planned on broader lines
than when the reunion was held last
in Memphis, eight years ago, anu it is
hoped to make what is expected to be
the rapidly thinning gray line more
successful than any thai has gone
before.
Brilliantly Illuminated and decorlt
ed streets will greet the visitors, and
the floral parade on the first day of
the reunion will prove a pageant
of which Memphis will be proud. 1t
is proposed to have arches of white
and red lights ON street cars, auto
mobiles and on the fronts of all
downtown business houses. The resi-
dence districts will also be looked
after by the Illuminating committee
Automobile races will be held at the
Tri-State Fair Grounds during the
reunion, and other sports will be
| provided for the visitors. A naval
sham battle, participated in by 100
power-boats, will be held on the river
front June g. On June 10 the crown
| ing event of the reunion will be
the grand ball at the Auditorium in
horror of the sponsors, maids of honor
and reunion visitors. The sessions of
the veterans will be held at the
Bijou Theatre which has been select
ed as the convention hall. At
O'Clock on the 9Th will occur the
event of the reunion for the young
element, the conference of the sons
OF veterans and the grizzled vet
Grams in regard to the erection OF
bronzes as state monuments to the
| women of the South. The proposal
to- erect fitting memorial to the
women of the South at Montgomery,
Ala, will also be discussed.
! The preliminary work is as well
advanced as the various committees
can expect, and good time is in
prospect for all visitors.

1o,ooo-YEAR OLD POTTERY.
Ancient Peruvian Relics Discovered

A momentous discovery of ancient
Peruvian relics has just been made BY
Mr.. T. Hewitt Myring, of London,
Mr. Myring, who is well known
mining financier, and devoted many
years to explorations in Australia,
South and West Africa, China and
South America, has just arrived at
Liverpool.
Thirteen months ago. said Mr..
Myring to a Daily Mail representative
81 left for Bolivia on an exploring ex-
petition in the interior to join some
mining engineers who are developing
a gold field in the interior of Peru.
While waiting for the engineers, I
went on short trip up Chimcana
Valley, in the Province of Libertad, In
Peru.
There my attention was called to
some long ridges of sand at the foot
of some high mountains, which ap-
peared to have been artificially raised
at some distant period We decided
to sink few short shafts in the
mounds to see what they contained.
In a very short time we struck a
tomb of the ancient Chimu race,
which is supposed to have populated
that portion of Peru many centuries
before Christ, and of whom there is
absolutely no trace left today, with
the exception of the artistic pottery
which was invariably buried with the
corpses.
"A few natives were set to- work,
and in very few weeks we opened
up between 800 and 700 tombs, and
extracted some 1000 Huaohos (pro-
nounced Workhos). or vessels of pot
terry of highly artistic character, many
of very high finish and with a glaze
closely resembling porcelain. The sill
Gates in the soil had preserved these
vessels in an extraordinary manner,
and l should say that they had been
in the ground from 5000 to 10000
years"

JAcKIEs AWKWARD IN YAWLs.

AS he spoke, two bronzed young
mem from the United States ship Mis-
sissippi climbed into a yawl. One OF
them seated himsef amidSlhips with
with the oars in the locks, braced him
self for strong pull. The oars went
half of the stroke, then came up of
sudden, and he caught what is
known to oarsmen as a crab. He
maintained his balance, however, and
went ahead more cautiously After run
ming into the bank a couple OF times,
lust missing a few other boats, and
swerviIg in curves instead of forg-
ing ahead in straight line, they
made their painful way back and man
fully footed the bill.
Every since the battleship has been
in port the men have been amusing
themselves with the tiny craft in City
Park, and it's great fun for the boat
men to watch their goodnatured
struggles with the unfamiliar craft.
When one stops to think OF it, 1T
isn't strange, for all the rowing a
Jackie does is with a fifteen-foot
oar in big boat with five or seven
men. each with single oar
So the tiny, light yawl seems sticky
and cranky and as for canoe Jack
