CHESWOLD CHANGERS ACTIVE
Take the Tip from High Prices of
Eggs and Lay in Food Stuffs

Cheswold, Nov. 22.-At the buzz
ness part of the session of rural
grange, large orders were placed
for meats, manufactured shell and
also grit for chickens. The incen-
tive no doubt is prompted largely by
the high prices for eggs. In the
lecturers hour, the subject, "Would
More Sun in Country Houses Mean
Fewer Visits from the Doctor was
discussed. The general sentiment,
however was that while the cura-
tive effects of the suns rays must be
admitted, some shade trees are also
desirable. A duet by Messrs. E. A.
Evans and Norman Hoffecker was
one of the music numbers. The late
corn husking this fall kept few
members from attending the National
Grange session held at Atlantic City.

Miss Sumner on "Tuberculosis"
Some Pleasant Musical Features
There was an enthusiastic turnout
of grangers and their wives generally
Saturday afternoon when the Insti-
tute for women was held in Grange
Hall (Odd Fellows HalD under the
auspices of the State Board of Ag-
riculture. One of the most spirited
addresses of the program was that of
Mrs. Stevens, wife of DR.. F. L.
Stevens of the State College,
Raleigh. North Carolina. Mrs.
Stevens called the farmers and their
wives to task for not making the
"Home Garden" a more profitable
venture. While statitics show that
canned goods are largely on the
increase and growing every year,
farmers wives were putting them
selves to an unnecessary expense
when so many good things fresh from
their garden might be canned at a
triflingcost, if the time and attention
were only given to it. The :" Home
Garden she said could be made
an important adjunct of the farm
with vegetables and fruit always at
command during their season. When
it is so easy for the farmers wife to
do her own canning, Mrs. Stevens
deplored the fact that so many de-
pend upon the "tin garden The
speaker by her cultured manner and
familiarity with her subject, endear
ed herself to ker hearers and many
were determined that there was
really more in the 'Home Garden
han they fully appreciated.
Stamping Out 1.-The White Plague
Another interesting speaker was
Miss Sumner, of Wilmington, who
came here to represent the Delaware
Anti-Tuberculosis Society. Mis-:
Sumner soon had the attention o.
her audience in the persistent fgh
that is being waged against the grea
white plague. She told how to pre-
vent the spread of the disease ant
what was being done by the society
in Delaware. In fact she took VI
the various stages of tuberculosis
and insisted that it could be cured i
taken in hand in time. She plea,
for more interest in the Smyrna Dis
pensary, which was located nea
corner of Commece and Delawar
streets, and asked the farmers an
their wives to visit it. These dis
pensaries are provided by the Stat
society that those who were not abb
to pay for treatment, could receiv
its benefits free. She pointed ou
the good work being done all owe
the country and especially the Stat
of Delaware and urged closer an
better interest on the part of tn
farmers and their wives.

SOUTH MAIN STREET IMPROVED
B.W. Turner Converts Old Lewis Ham

B.W. Turner Converts Old Lewis Ham
ilton House Into Fine Residence
One of the most decided improve
ments made to the south end of Main
Street in recent years, is the re-
modling of the ''Old Lewis Hamil-
ton property which was recently
purchased by Chief of Police and
Street Supervisor Benjamin W.
Turner. The latter since he got
possession has removed all the
colored families from this property
and the property on "the lane" and
with the other adjacent properties
falling into white families, the
settlement of colored people in that
end of Main street is no more. Mr..
Turner has converted the double
residence into single residence,
added comfortable front porch and
changed the whole complexion of
the property into cozy residence.

chased of Geo. d. Collins the lot,

HOW TO KEEP

sTRucTloNs TO THOSE WHO
ARE TROUBLED WITH PESTS.

OF interest to the cattle breeders OF
Maury county is the following card OF
instructions sent out by the United
States Department OF Agriculture
anent the determination Of ticks:
The month Of August lends itself
well to the eradication of cattle fever
ticks where q pasture rotation plan
is used. BY vacating pasture during
this month and keeping it vacant until
July Of next year 1t may be freed

ton, as the ticks canot live to maturi-
ty, IL they are unable to get upon ami

to die after the stock has been remov-
ed from infested fields and pastures
varies considerably, depending on eli
mate, season and weather conditions.

the period from Eept / to July Is
sufficient, and this appears to be the
most convenient time. H.
The advantage of vacating a pas
ture for the period named is twofold.
Not only is the pasture freed from
ticks, but its disuse during that time
| will probably cause less Inconvenience
and expense than at any other sea
son, and it will be benefited by the
rest and will have better growth of
grass the following summer In some
sections where pastures are utilized
throughout the winter, to vacate would
probably necessitate feeding the stock,
unless the farmer is situated so that
he can keep his stock on one pasture
while another pasture is kept vacant
But it is also true that beginning with
September there will be a more stun-
dant supply of rough feed about a
farm which can be utilized. August
is most favorable month for making
start toward freeing premises Of
ticks by the method suggested
The animals should of course be 1
free from ticks when they are again Il

way to rid them of ticks When the

He showed such marked intellectual
development that he was placed in col

at the age of twenty-one, and being
elected to the Legislature the same
year. For two terms he represented
Cooke county in the legislature, and
was generally known as the minority
leader. During the Spanish-American
war he served with distinctions land

100000 Republicans and the victory
by from $4,000 to $4,000 majority IS an
easy calculation. :,
The platform is probably the most
advanced and progressive ever adopt
ed by any party in Tennessee. Law
enforcement, the enforcement of ev-
cry law, is the dominant note. On
this question and that of pardons, the
following sentiment is uttered:
In the adoption of the constitution
the people of the State established
three coordinate branches of govern
ment, and carefully set the bounds of
each. 1t is the duty of the legislative
branch to enact laws, giving due con-
sideration to such advice as may be
offered by the Governor, and subject
10 his veto power. The judiciary,
rested with the power of determining |
he rights of parties in due course of
litigation, and adjudging the guilt or
innocence of those accused of crimes |
md misdemeanors; while in the Gov
'rnor is vested the executive power,
nd his special duty is to take care
hat the laws be faithfully enforced.
Neither of these departments should
0 any extent encroach upon the other,
nd every effort on the part Of the
Governor to influence legislation by
of lobbyist, or by the be-
towal Of executive favors, or to d.
sctly or Indirectly interfere with thett
ourts in the least in the deterIcina-
on Of any matter, public or private, 4

s, condemn the same.
