JFFfRIES IS ROUCHING IT
With SPARRING PARTNERS
White Champion Goes After Box
ers in His Camp with Ham
mer and longs
BERGER GETS WORST OF 1T

Ren Iomond, Cal, June 4.-"Hit
hard" was the order at James j. JEFF
ries camp when the former champion
resumed boxing after rest of more
than a week. JEFF laid down the law
IA his sparring partners before be-
ginning. intlmating that If they did
not slug, he would. The result was
Immediately noticeable.
Bob Armstrong was the first man
mn. lie rushed JEFF from the start
and set lively pace for three rounds
Inst before time was called for the
bout. Jeff drove his glove into Bobs
middle and Armstrong doubled up
with a grunt.
Toe Choynski came next for three
rounds and the pair stepped around
in a clever sparring exhibition, Choyn-
ski displaying even more skill than
usual.
The main event, however, was the
two rounds go with Sam Berger. Jef
was evidently saving up for his mana
Ger. and they went at IL in slambang
fashion, roughing it around the ring
until II looked like a good knockdown
and drag out battle Sam hit nara
and Jeff replied in kind, much to Ber-
gers discomfort toward the close OF
the bout.
Corbett will not do any sparring be-
fore the coming week

SIGNALS ALL RIGHT But
MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN

Signals in baseball are all right
when they work. Billy Phelon, OF
New York, relates the following:
Twenty three years ago Uncle An
son hired Dad Clarke, then mere
novice, and spent much valuable time
In educating him to the signal thing.
one point the Old Man laid special
stress on was this: With n runner on
first Uncle would slap his hands to-
gether. Clarke was to wheel and
shoot the ball over instanter, without
stopping to survey the situation. The
morning after this was drilled into
Clarke the team went out for "A pract-
ice game. Clarke was tossing to the
batsmen and Uncle was roosting cas-
lily on first, watching the batters and
criticising their positions. Never
thinking it possible consequences. the
Old man slapped his hands together,
probably to warm them "A trifie. Clarke
spun like IA flash, drove the bali across
like n bullet, and got Uncle full i'm the
Adams apple.
"A few seconds later, loungers and
pedestrians outside the park were
vastly astounded to see young ball
player come flying over the fence as if
pursued by some terrible flend, while
n red, raging, believing countenance
came up, peered over the pailings af-
ter the fugitive. and then fell back
inside the barrier.
Baseball generalship is great
thing-but don't believe all you hear
nhOnt it."

In the deaht Of King Edward VII Of

was in this the very antithisis Of his
nephew, the war lord Of Germany. He
was perhaps the best loved sovereign
in the world. The people Of Great
Britain, without reference to politi-
cal differences, were intensely loyal
to King Edward. He was popular as
the Prince of Wales. And since he
succeeded his illustrious mother on
the throne his popularity has very
materially increased.
The dead king had high cOncep-
ton Of his duties and obligations to
the people. He was not a monarch
who loved display. He did not care
for publicity. His ways were ways of
peace. He did not love the display
and the pomp and bizarre ways Of EN-
peror William and Theodore Roose-
welt. But he was a conscientious
and faithful worker and was always
alive to the best interests of the
kingdom. Without attempting to die
tate political policies he ever mani
tested the keerest interest in public
affairs and there is little doubt that
worry over the present complicated
political situation in his kingdom
contributed to shorten his life. Nat

A CONVENTION CITY

All success to the efforts of the
Board of Trade to make Columbia a
convention city. There is nothing
that does more to advertise a city;
there is nothing that will do more to
stimulate civic pride, that the hold
ing of conventions and assemblies
within city. There is no reason why
Columbia should not be a convention
city. 1t has an admirable railroad
schedule. It is conveniently and ac-
cessibly located. 1t is just as easy
to get in and out of Columbia as it
would be to get to and from the cap
ital city. It is located in the center
of the richest and most beautiful az
ricultural section of the South. It
will do the people from other counties
and sections of Tennessee good to
come to Maury county to see the
country. Here they will find every
thing that can please the eye.
But 1t will be immensely to the
advantage of Columbia If it attracts

SMALL FARMS.

1t will be gratifying to know thai
Tennessee stands well up in the list
of fourteen States in which more
than half of the lands titled are by
farmers who own them. Almost six
ty per cent Of the farms of this State
are cultivated by the owners. New
York is at the head of the list with
seventy-six per cent. This will
doubtless be surprising information
especially in view of the somewhat
pessimistic view of agricultural con.
ditions that have been taken recently
by the magazines of the Empire
State. The fact that so large a por-
ton of the farms are cultivated by
the owners would seem to be COM
plete refutation to the statement that
the farms of the Empire States are
being abandoned. When farms are
titled by the owners they do not US
ually deteriorate. They are farmed
with a view to the preservation and
conservation of the soil.
1t is a healthy sign when farms are
cultivated by the owners. This
country would be infinitely better off
II there were more farmers and small
er farmers. The great secret Of the
wonderful prosperity Of France lies
largely in the fact that its lands are
owned by the great masses Of the peo-
pie. There are now comparatively
few great landed estates in that coun-
try. This in a large measure ex-
plains the tremendous recuperative
powers of that marvellous people.
Where the farms are small and are
titled by owners we usually have in
tensified and scientific farming in its
highest state of perfection. The
French farmers make ten acres yield
what we are content to produce on
fifty acres in this country Of "magni
fcent distances"
Maury county would profit Inn
mensely If some of the great landed
estates we're divided into q half dozen
to a dozen farms and we're occupied
by that number Of families. The
small farmers are the great assets Of
any country or State They are law
abiding, generally thrifty and make
the finest class of citizens. This
State needs immigration of the right
sort

A STRONG STATEMENT

Z If the people have not alredy been
thoroughly convinced of the duplicity
and double dealing of the Patterson
machine and it's utter unworthiness
of the peoples trust they will be after
reading the statement of the indie
pendent candidates for the judiciary.
The Judges have stated the case with
force, with dignity and with a calm
and dispassionate regard for the facts
that is highly creditable to candidates
for judicial places.
Very truly they declare that in view
of the past conduct of the committee
the people have no assurance whatev-
er that what may appear fair on its
surface will be carried to fair con-
clusion. The fact is that this commit
tee, under the complete domination of
the disgraceful and despicable Patter-
son, has long ago forfeited any claim
for the respect or confidence of the
people. 1t is a stencil in the nostrils
of all decent people. 1t must be driv-

ty will be destroyed.
Who can deny the truth of these
statements selected at random from
the announcement of the Independ-
ents:

ditions, created as the result of the

A CORPORATION COURT.

Organs of the administration are at
tempting to cloud the issues of the
campaign by the demagogic and un
true assertion that the Independent
Democratic candidates are the crea
lures of the corporations. A MAORI
ty of the candidates are members OF
courts to which they now aspire and
their records for the past ten years
and more constitute a full and com.
plete refutation of this charge. In all
the hundred years that the Supreme
Court of Tennessee has existed there
has never been lodged against it a
single charge that involved moral ter
pitude upon the part Of its members.
There have been justices of that court
who have not been the ablest lawyers
in the land but no man can say that
they have ever brought reproach upon
their State nor discredit upon their
honored profession.
pie that Neil and Shields and Beard
and Wilson and Taylor, all of whom
have for many years served their peo-
pie in high judicial stations, are the
creatures of corporations. On the con-
trary the records which they have
made in settling the great issues be-
tween the people and the corporations
will ever be an ornament to their pro.
fession and an honor to the State.
Why should the corporations desire
the reelection of of the present court?
On the contrary If the corporations,

In the pending contest, and we believe
that they will profit by the experience
of the past and keep their hands out
OF politics, but assuming that what the
organs of Patterson say is true, and
the corporations attempt to dictate
the election of Supreme Court, why
should they not support Patterson's
ticket? The answer IL easy. The

Tennessee are both corporation law.
