DANvILLE. ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Four
years ago Mrs. Kate Chance, who
now lives at Little Rock, Ark, was
divorced from her husband, the
late George Chance, who at one
time was a prominent man In this

Shortly after the divorce was
granted Chance married another

The divorced woman year ago

TENNESsEES SUPREME
COURT,

The News Scimitar, commenting
on Tuesday ON the recent decision
Of the supreme court of Tennessee
in the nisht-rider ease, quotes cop
lousIy from a decision Of the same
court rendered by the late Justice
John S Wilkes, which defines with
great c1carness the true attitude o!
appellate courts towards criminal
appeals. The Scimitar quotes
Judge Wilkes to strengthen it
criticism OF the night-rider decision
but it omits TO tell its readers thai
the sweep and power OF Judge
Wilkes intellect fairly dominates
the court when he was a member O
it; that he has no successor on the
bench of that tribunal and that hi:
associates and the present occu
pants of that exalted station ar,
the veriest top-waters in compari
son with him.
John S Wilkes was the last of ;
long line OF men of very great abb
/ lily who have shed luster on the su
prcme bench of Tennessee.

THE TIGERS LAIR.

We reproduce from the Memphis
Press what we regard as a veracious
statement of present conditions IN
Memphis with reference to the en-
forcement of the prohibition laws.
The Press says:
The Anti Saloon league of Mem
pl1ls and Tennessee will shortly be-
gin prosecutions against all places
now selling booze in various forms
under the g1rise of soft drinks.
The prohibition law has been in
effect for Is days and no attempt has
been made by the prohibition forces
TO have the law enforced. The sa-
loon interests secured an injunction
which raised the questions of law
involved and the Anti-Saloon peo-
pie have been quietly waiting until
the hearing of this case before ini-
tiating prosecutions.
/ There were about $50 saloons in
| Memphis when the state wide law
went into effect, and it is estimated
that at least 500 of these are still
doing business. 1t is also stated
by the Anti Saloon people who have
been collecting evidence that booze
| is being sold with the same abandoa
and recklessness az before July i
in many instances.
Several proprietors OF these place.

This Delta country was very dear

TWO BALES PER ACRE.
Is What Coahoma County Planter
VIII Raise.

Goahorna county has planter
who proposes to make two bales 81.
cotton grow where one grew before.
What is more, he has virtually ac
complished this feat, for last year
he produced fifteen bales of cotton
on eight acres of land, and last
year was not an uncommonly good
cotton year, either. The name OF
this enterprising gentleman is A.
w Wheatlcy, and his feat is de-
serving of as wide publicity as can
be given it. This year he has ten
experimental acres under cultivation
from which he expects to gather go
bales, and the prospect is said to be
excellent for the. realization of his
hopes. To be sure MIR. Wheatley
has the finest cotton land in the I'm
tied States to work with, for there
is nothing better than Delta busk-
shot: but he is not satitied with the
natural richness OF the ground. He
has supplemented it with the scien-
tlfc application of fertilizers ard
improved methods of cultivation,
with the result that he has induced
the land to do exactly double what
it would do under ordinary circum-
stances. There IS whole treatise
on economies in this little history.
It contains the entire theory and
practice of intensive farming, and IS
proof that on ten acres Of Delta
land any man can make good hv-
ing. On twenty acres he ought to
enjoy competency. and on forty
prosperity enough for anybody.
