about 5 O'Clock, aged 81 years and 10
DAYS. She had been belfast for about

performed far beyond the usual span OF
life. Mrs. Terrell, who had maintained
her strength to remarkable degree, and
who remained in almost complete pos
session of her faculties until the end, real
lied the approach of death, and was COIL

nearest surviving relative. Mrs. Terrell
was member OF the Southern Method
list Church, having been consistent
member since her youth. She was pi-
Gus woman, devoted to her church, and
as long as her health permitted was faith
full in her attendance. Her life was in all
respects an exemplary one, and her good
works will follow her Her death will be
a source Of sorrow to her friends. as it
means the breaking OF another link that
binds the past to the present, for she is
the last of her generation. Mrs. Terrell
lived for 80 years in the same houSe-the
dwelling that was burned three years ago
and occupied the site OF the home in
which she ended her days.

As the result of the discovery by
Allen Cockrell Of the champion high
express rate. AT investigation may be
begun by the Interstate Commerce
Commission ;rto the whole subjest of
rates charged by express companies.
Allen. Cockrell assists his father,
Commissioner +. M. Cockrell of Mis-
souri,.
The disputed rate has to do with
the shipmnet of a jackass from Far
Der, Mo-, to Riverdale, Kan, about
100 miles. Grated the animal weigh
ed 800 pounds. If it had weighed
$50 pounds, the commercial rate
of $500 a hundred would have ap'
piled, or $3.50 for the shipment,
Owing to the express company's
manner of classifying shipments
the charge for the crate, since II
weighed more than $50 pounds, was
so a hundred for 1000 pounds, OF
$50. So that the company got $67.5(
for the fifty pounds owed $50 pounds
which the Grated jackass weighed.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has undertaken to adjust the
matter by correspondence with the
express company officials. If a salts
factory arrangement is not reached
by this means, a formal complaint
will be entered and the commission
will go into the whole subject of ex
press tariffs.

COMMUNICATION FROM
RUBEN HARLOW
Youngs Creek. No. May 2.

Youngs Creek, Mo-, May 2.
To the Editor Of tho Ledger:
It's up to the Republicans now
whether they will kick Uncle Joe
Cannon out of the party or the IN
surgents. The insurgents are Just
as good Republicans as they ever
we're. They are scheming to get
back into the Senate and House Of
Representative. They are termed
weakened Republicans because they
opposed the tariff. It makes no dif-
ference whether the tariff was re-
vised up or down, those insurgents
were disloyal to the Republican par
ty and ought TO be put down as
traitors to the administration.
The tariff is no better and maybe
worse than It was before II was re
vised. They have split the Republt
can party and made It possible for
the Democrats to get into power.
The Democrats ought to be very care
full and not get tangled up with the
insurgents, for IL they do. they will
get the worst of 1t, because a traitor
to his own party can't be trusted In
any party. He will ST. down on the
Democratic party at a time when o
least expect it. In the first place, we
Democrats have had some expert
enoe with the Populist party. We
made n of the biggest mistakes we
could have made when we made a
platform that was not satisfactory. II
we had made u platform as It
should have been made and not tried
to make 1t 80 as to catch the Popu-
list vote, we would never have split
the party. But we are all together
once more. and IL we will act wisely.
we will let the Republicans fight
their own battles among them
selves. The next thing for the Dem
ocrats to do is to stand by David
r. Francis for United States Sena-
tor. He is a safe and sound man
for the party.

bottom land. A movement has now
been started by a company Of farm
ers in Knox county to furnish the
funds for the surveys and excava-
tons necessary to complete the
work.
According to Mr.. Ross the land is
now worth from s25 to $50 an acre,
but aftei the river has been straight
ened il will not overflow andwill be
como valuable farming land. In the
Mississippi River valley where the
same work has been done the land
has increased in value to more than
$500 an acre. The company Of farm
ers of Knox county plan to get an
option on all the land in the river
bottom and then lease 1T after the
work has been completed.
The work of Strengthening the riv'
err is comparatively simple from an
engineering standpoint, according to
Mr.. Ross, as there is no rock in the
river he'd and excavations will be
cas- In some places the river makes
great bends of several miles that
can be cut off entirely by digging
bitches of less than a quarter of a
mile in length. BY Strengthening the
river bed, 1t will prevent over
flow for any great period Of time.
Prof. F. P. Spaulding, of the School
of Engineering, has examined the
plans and has encouraged Mr.. Ross u
carry them out If possible.
