tuesdays Daily.l

This mornings session of the short
course in agriculture was well at
tended, more being present than at
tended the Monday session. The room
was almost comfortably filed early,
and it viii hold large number. Prof.
Keffer was the first speaker and be-
gan at a. m, continuing his sub
ject of Monday, which was the plant
ing and pruning Of trees, etc.
Prof. Keffer said that the trees
might be planted at any open season
in this State, but he preferred spring
to fall, because of the danger of pro-
longed season with lack Of rain In
the fall. He said that the moisture
ct the spring was better adapted to
the growth of the young trees.
High Land for Orchards.
He said that high ground was pref
cradle for orchards, and that the low
grounds could be utilized for other
purposes to which it was adapted. He
said the low ground was rally
more subject to visitations of frost
than the high ground.
The necessity of spraying fruit trees
was emphasized and the speaker said
man expecting to grow fruit must
include his spraying outfit as one OF
the essentials of success, and that ii
is equally as important as til.ager
pruning, etc.
The professor gave some practical
instruction in regard to planting and
showed the necessity OF digging big
hole for the roots, and said rather
than double up the small roots against
a hard wall of dirt, that they be cut
of, but not to cut the moff, but die
the hole bigger.
He told the audience how to prune
trees, the idea being to let the sun
shine get to the fruit, and advanced
some thoughts which were somewhat
novel to some of his hearers. He
showed the Importance Of cutting of
the top Of the peach trees the first
year. He then showed what form II
should take, and the necessity of keep
ing it in that form in order to secure
the best results.
The idea of pruning both apple and
peach trees is to permit the sunshine
to reach and develop the fruit
The address was replete with valua
bl suggestions and plans for secur
ing the best results in orchard man
agement.

WOULD UNSEAT THE
MEMBERS ELECTED
FROM MAURY COUNTY
PURPoRT OF THE RESOLUTION
BY THE PATTERsoN-TAYLoR
COMMITTEE.
ADVISE THAT CONTEST Be MADE
Friends Of the Defeated Candidates
Express the Opinion That They viii
Accept the Result Of the Election.
Statement Of MIR. Moore.

If Messrs. Shelley and Moore, the
defeated candidates, will consent, an
effort will be made in the House of
Representative to unseat w. T. Gal
lcway and A. A. Lipscomb, the Rep
resentatiVes from Maury county. At
a meeting of the Patterson-Taylor
committee in secret session on Mon
day the following resolution was
adopted:
BE it resolved by the Maury coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee
that this committee congratulate Sen
ator-elect t. B. Brown, and Messrs.
Hardy Shelley and R. N. Moore, upon
their splendid showing in the recent
Legislative contests And in view of CIV
ing out Of ballots before the election
and other open violations of the cleo
ton laws, it is the sense Of this com
mittee that the true returns will show
Messrs. Shelley and Moore duly and
lawfully elected. Wherefore we now
extend to them a hearty endorsement
of any action they may see fit to take
with a view to securing for themselves
the places in the Legislature which we
believe they have won and assure
them of our support and cooperation
in maintaining their rights"
/
The supporters of Galloway and
Lipscomb are not alarmed over the
situation for they are satisfied that
there is no danger of the House I'M
seating their candidates. even should
the so-called regulars" have the ma
jority Of one which is claimed. Very
little stock is taken in the charges OF
fraud, they are usually made by de-
/ feated candidates after every election.
SO far as an investigation is concern
leo the supporters of the Democratic
nominees make no objection but the
opinion is expressed by many on both
sides that a contest would keep alive
strife and profit no one but those who
live by political turmoil.
viii They Contest7
A contest depends upon what
Messre Shelley and Moore do. The
latter stated this morning to his late
COMPONENT and neighbor, Mr.. Galloway
that he had not been informed OF the
action Of the committee; tina he knew
no grounds of contest and would not
make any unless he was thoroughly
convinced that he had been elected
Friends Of both of the defeated can
didates declare that there will be nc
contest: that Messrs. Shelley and
Moore would not have an ONCE &c
which they were not elected and tha'
they have been fairly defeated ano
that a contest would do no good.
Secretary Williams, of the Patter
SON Taylor committee, who gave Out
the above resolution, stated that there
was discussion both for and against
contest and difference OF opinion
existed as to the advisability Of taking
that course.

Revenge is sweet, and Columbia In
stitute took double toll Monday after
non on Woodbridge Field on the Insti
tute campus when they defeated the
Cumberland Colds by the score Of
IL to z.
It was only few minutes after the
ball was put in play when Miss Nc
Gowan threw pretty goal which
started the fire works. Miss Miller
soon followed with another, but In the
meantime Miss Bryan for Culnber.
land had succeeded in getting one
through the basket. Both teams
were repeatedly penalized for holding
and running with the ball, but this
cost the Stute but few points, as the
guards were aggressive and prevent
ed any goals resulting from this way
OF getting the ball In the opponents
territory, while on the other hand
Miss MCGOWAN recovered the ball
nearly nine times out Of ten when she
went after it.
! Miss Miller, forward, rushed
the ball all the time and there was
not moment when she was not right
in the game and kept the ball on the
move. Miss Rogers guard and Miss
Figuers forward played on the defen-
sive and put up some of the PROTEST
interference that could possibly be
made by young ladies. Miss Fig
luers while supposed to play on the
defensive, rushed the ball equally as
much as her companion player and
showed that both offensive and de
fensiye work counted in the game.
Miss Fischer, at center, out general.
&c her opponent at nearly ever turn
OF the game and gave her team the ad-
vantage of nearly every toss up. She
was quick and effective in her lands
/ on the ball carrying into the blues
territory at least one third Of the
time.
For the visitors, Miss Manner, Smith
and Bryan did the best playing, but
their work was far short of that Of the
locals. The Stute showed greater
and superior coaching which speaks
for the excellent work done by Miss
Hamil assisted in the last few days by

SEVEN BREAK JAIL
 AT Fl SMITH
One of the BOIdeSt Jail Deliveries in the History of That City
 is Recorded.

Ft Smith, Feb 9.-At an early hour this morning general jail de- livery occurred at the Sebastian county jail, in this city, and as a re- suit, seven prisoners are at liberty after cutting their way through steel sheet iron, and thick brick walls, then dropping to the ground thirty feet, below. It was the bodest escape ever planned from the jail. All those who escaped are vel known negro criminals of this section. All efforts to locate any of the party have prov en futile, although the authorities are conducting a systematic search
 It is believed the prisoners forced their way to liberty in less than six hours. The implement used was a sewer pipe forced from the water connection, and the iron beds were use as ladder in reaching the ceiling. From the top of this the uen forced hole two feet square through the sheet iron ceiling, and climbing through the opening the men entered the attic and forced more than doz- en bricks from the wall next to the roof
 Two blankets tied together formed ropes by which they lowered them selves to the ground While the es- cape was made. the blanket broke near the roof. It is evident one man was painfully injured in the fall. Nineteen prisoners were in the big sleeping cell at the time, but the guard was attracted before the others could escape. Drawing pistol the guards forced the remaining dozen prisoners in another cell then sum mOned aid
 The escaped prisoners are: Amos Rogers, larceny; Thomas D. Mason, embezzlement; l.. H. Kelley, robbery; Henry Busch, grand larceny; Bud Lewis, burglary and larceny; Dallas Webster, forgery; Ben Jones, rob- bery.

roads, and that the pest way to get them is to go after them in a business like way. He discussed at some length the various manners of build ing roads, and went into detail as to the use of the split log drag. which he declared to be one of the best methods of improving dirt roads
 From this he went into the ques- tlon of the use of conyicts on the state roads. He showed that on the state farm this past year the cuti- vation of 2,000 acres produced s175.- 900. He showed that one man can lcultiyate 10 acres. Therefore 200 convicts could cultivate 2.OO0 acres of state farm which produced S127 ,000 Ihls leaves 100 men in the peniten- t1ary Two hundred might be en- ployed on the roads under the Pat terson act, which the governor took occasion to declare was not a com prehensive law This would still leave 300 conyicts in the penitentiary. Put these on the roads of the State said the governor and work them in a business way and we shall greatly improve the highway system of the state''
 The governor declared that the leasing of 300 convicts to the rail- roads is not satisfactory, and that there is now owing to the Peniten- tiary Commission $36o0o from one of the contractors which he fears the state will never collect Tn this con- nection he declared that there are those who seem to think it is their Christian duty to beat the state out of all they can.
 He pleaded with those present to lend their best efforts to the cause of good roads. His one reference to politics was received with amuse- ment In speaking of letting leases for contracts he said that man in public office could not let a contract to a man who bid slightly above an- other no matter how much better contract it might be for the state from the fact that should a contract be let to man whose bid, in money. was under that of another man, the opposition would get out and defeat that official for public office.

YOUNG MAN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE c. A, Chapman, Alias Rain ey, Is Arrested at
 Springdale. PASSING BAD CHECKS Seems to Realize That He iS Tickctcd For Term in the Peni-
 tentiary.
PASSING BAD CHECKS

Sprin9dale, Feb g.-A young man of about g years of age appeared here day of two ago. saying he had been working at Johnson. Il village six miles south of here, bat lived in western Oklahoma. In q short time he asked one of the business men to cash a check for him, giving his name as R. c. Rainey. The check was cash ed by the Famous Mercantile Com pany. It was signed by F. B. Teale, the name of prosperous fruit grow CT living a mile south of Springdalc. The amount was $11.15.
 Shortly after Bennett Bros, cashel a check signed by Geo. w. Jones. the amount being $945. Jones, that is. Geo. w. Jones, is unknown in this vicinity. There are perhaps a score of them. but none as Geo W. Jones. This check was payable to G. C. Case
 With but little delay a check was presented to Lou Reagan, merchant, for $1O.15.
 In the meantime member of the Famous Mercantile Company had be- come suspicious and meeting the stranger, asked him about the check. He very promptly returned the money and took the check, saying it was worth it's face value to him.
 When arrested he gave first the name of Rainey, but after sweating by the officers he said his real name is c. A. Chapman. Waving prelimi- nary examination when brought be- fore Justice of the Peace Berry, he was committed to jail to await action of the grand jury.
 He declared he could easily give bond but preferred to stay in iai1 rather than let his relatives know the trouble into which he has brought himself He declares it is the first trouble he has been in and seems tC realize somewhat the seriousness of his situation. He seems to be almost unwilling to await the next term of court he is so anxious to begin serv- ing the sentence in the penitentiary which he is sure awaits him.
