Abraham Lincoln to the students and

the senator spoke briefly of Lincoln
as a lawyer, statesman and strategist.
Chiefly his tribute was to Lincoln the
man.
At the executive session of the
senate Monday afternoon Senator Till
man made a fre-eating speech in his
old pitchfork style.
Mr.. Tillman made no bones of say
ing that the Acknowledgement laws
that they openly violated the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, and
OF the South were frauds. He declared
that their administration was a Joke,
and he asserted boldly that they were
intended solely to disfranchise Afro
Americans because they were not
white
OF the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments Mr.. Tillman said they
were not worth the paper they were
written on. South Carolina, he said,
had an educational qualification and
knew how to handle it with reference
to the Afro-American. There never
wass an Afro-American who got the
right to vote under it, he declared,
and no white man hal been disfran.

Weeks Bill.

The so-called Weeks" forestry
bill, the joint work of Congressman
Weeks and Lever, both strong advo-
Gates of forestry legislation for
many years past, has just been
adopted by and favorably reported
out of the House Committee on Ag-
riculture by the substantial majority
of eleven to six, and is now on the
House Calendar for consideration at
this session of Congress.
This bill, considered by many as
the best yet drawn covering the i'm.
portant matter of forest conserva-
ton at the headwaters of navigable
streams, deals with the question on
broad national lines. 1t provides for
fire protection in cooperation with
such States as are doing their duty
in the matter of fire protection and
prevention; it provides for the ap-
poiutment of strong forestry COM
mission; for the acquisition of forest
areas at the headwaters of navig-
able streams, where this commission
finds them necessary; it utilities the
receipts of the forest service there
for to the extent of 81 100000 dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July /,
1909, and 100000 yearly there
after for ten years.
The passage of the measure should
therefore not only mean the acquisi-
ton of the important Southern APP.
palachian- White Mountain forest
areas so unanimously urged by the
people and press of the whole nation,
but should mean the ultimate ex-
tension along broad lines, of nation
al forests on important watersheds
in all sections of the country. 1t
should merit and receive the hearty
support of forest advocates both in
and out of Congress.

LOOSE LEAF
Price Against Dark Tobacco
Association Advance.

We are reliably informed that Mr..
Amos Hunt. who lives in McCracken
county. near the Ballard county line,
carried his crop of tobacco to
Bohmer's loose leaf warehouse, at
Paducah, where it was sold to the
highest bidder. but Mr.. Hunt re-
jected the sale. reloaded his tobacco,
carried it to M. M. Tucker, who ia
an Association prizer, and who val
ued the tobacco at $500, $500 and
$500, advanced him go per cent. OH
this valuation, which only lacked S.
of netting him as much money as he
would have received for the crop, if
he had let his tobacco go at the price
bid for it at the loose leaf sale. Is
there any need of comments on this
transaction? A great many people
have to be shown, ana a few lessons
like this will teach the tobacco
growers what to do for their own
interests. Benton Tribune.
