GRAND COURT OF cALANTHE.

The meeting of the Grand Court Of
Calanthe was an assemDlage of beau
ty. culture and refinement such as
proud Tennessee only can boast of The

sic banks of the Nollachucky, from
the rugged mountains, from the hills
of the central basin and from the
plains that skirt the Forked Deer
The grace and vivaciousness of every
nook and corner of the state were
there Matron and maiden, the very
flower of Tennessee's womanhood, all
embued profoundly with the spirit of
Fidelity harmony ana lOve.
Dyersburg was at its best doing
the honors as only that little West
Tennessee city knows how to do, so
generously and graciously. Every
thing that could promote the ease and
welfare of the visitors was done with
pleasure by the inhabitants of that
thriving town.
The reports of the different Off
cials showed that much care and
forethought had been exercised; each
one was complete even to the minu-
test detail.
The presence of Supreme Chancel-

Nature smiled upon the employees
of the National Baptist Publishing
Board and gave them a most delight
full day for the celebration of their
7th annual picnic. The day dawned
clear and gright with a breeze blow
ing like the fall fall of the year, so
very cool was it, DR.. r. H. Boyd,
Secretary of the Publishing Board,
had said in the chapel on Monday
that he would pray for a good day for
them, an they say that "the prayers
of the righteous availeth much
Great preparation had been made to
make this the most enjoyable of the
annual outings. Street cars were
chartered to take the entire force,
their friends and families to Creep
wood Park, where the picnic was helds
Promptly at 8 o'clock the crowd left
the corner of 10 Johnston and Third
avenue, North in the special cars and
at $40 they were at the park, where
the sport and pleasure was begun.
The First Baptist Church Sunday
School, of which Mr.. J. d. Crenshaw
is superintendent and Rev, w. S. FL
lington pastor, also came to the park,
and swelled the already jolly crowd.
They came out in wagons, reaching
the grounds about 10:45.
The hills, with the beauty of nature
on them, the valleys with sparkling
springs from the earth, the plateau on
which the bluest grass grows, all
made up for day long to be re-
membered There were more than a
hundred baskets laden with the best
edibles of the season. A more de-
lightful day has not been seen for
picnicking for many year. The
morning was spent in roaming over
the forty acres until dinner was an
nounced, then the real fun began
They ate till they could eat no more
| There were cream and lemonade tC
satisfy the thirst.
After this, Mr.. J. H. Kelly, chair
man of the Amusement Committee
pulled off some fine numbers on his
attractive program. There was lots
of racing, the fat the lean the long
and the short with the young and
the old. There were prizes given il
each race Nothing daunted the spir
its of those outdoor pleasure-seekers
and picnickers from the Publishing
House of the Baptists of his city.
Later in the day traps and turnouts
came until the park was literally
lined with Nashvilles best.
The merry-go-round and the skating
rink offered lots of fun for those who
liked that kind of amusements. NJ
picnic this year has been greater

than this one at Greenwood Park las

To the Republicans of Tennessee:

Until within the last few days /

publican Executive Committee declin-
cd to allow the Republicans of the
State to meet in convention, as they
have for the last quarter of century
and nominate candidates for the Su-

dependent Democrats and the regular
Democrats, except to vote for the can

many false reasons offered for a
Wholesale delivery nf the Republican

party, and there is so little reason why
a Republican should annex himself
to that organization of political trades
men, that in response to many personal
letters from Republicans throughout
the State on the subject, have con-
dluded to publicly declare what I
think is the duty of Republican III
this contest.
| am not unmindful Of the fact that
my statements may provoke un-
friendly criticism from selfish politi-
clans, but in these strenuous times
when a small body of commercial pub
licists are attempting to barter party =
integrity and party honor to men who

To the men in the Republican party
who know nothing but slavisn

to the manly men who think for them
selves, and whose conduct in life COM
mands the respect of their political
friends and foes alike.

others) become Republicans for the

Stay in the Republican party, or will

Paid In Pelts.

Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennessee
was Franklin or that in 1883 the sal
aries of the officers of the common
wealth were paid in pelts, but the
following is correct copy of the Law:
"Be IL enacted by the state
of FRANKLIN, and it is hereby enacted
by authority Of the same, that frsm
and after the list day Of January, 1888
the salaries of this common wealth be
as follows-to wit:
"His ,excellency the governor per
annum, 100 desrskins.
"His honor the chief justice, SOC
deerskins.
"The secretary to his excellency the
governor, 500 racoon skins.
County clerk, 800 beaver skins.
"Clerk of the house of commons, 200
racoon skins.
JUSTICES fee for serving a warrent,
one minkskin."
At that time the state of frankie
extended 10 the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest
region of Louisiana. 1t was then
a terra Insegnita, save few canoe
landings and Indian trading posts on
the river banks. 1t was known Ms the
district Of Louisiana.
The state Of franklin, which became
! Tennessee In 1895, was aim ost as little
knewn. The new great city Of Mem,
phis was a mere trading post and was
not laid out as Village until 1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distributed
for purposes Of currency and baryer.

meat, present individuals of gigantic
stature.
Under the ancient regime the eating
of flesh was regarded with great hor-
ror by the whole population. The
mobiles alone tasted at times the flesh
of the wild boar, as fitting end to
an exciting hunt. But within the last
twenty-five years the consumption OF
meat has spread among the people, un-
til now In the streets of the cities
booths are to be found in plain view,
where for small sum generous por-
tions of boiling beef or of horsefiesh
can be bought. The Europeans and
the Americans who have lived In Ja-
pan for thirty years or so, or those
who revisit that land after a long abb
sence, testify that even now this par
tial introduction of a meat diet has
modified the physical appearance OF
the laboring classes. The men are less
pale and more muscular 1t appears
also that their stature has been consid-
erably increased, at least among the
coolies and military. On the contrary,

The Farmer. Automobile.

While automobiles are expensive
vehicles, In sense, they are daily
becoming less so. Improvements in
methods, materials and knowledge have
made cheaper car possible and the
fact that the purchasers Of fancy cars
are already supplied has caused man
ufacturers to devote their energies to
turning out a car that Is medium
priced and of high quality. A new
field for the marketing Of the product
of their factories was necessary and
this field was found among the farm
ers. High-priced, fancy cars would not
go with them, but quality would. and
those manufacturers who were shrewd
enough to make car of high quail
ity at reasonable price have found
ready customers among the farmers.
1t Is estimated that there are now
in use about 100000 automobiles among
the farmers of this country and some
thing like 5000 Of these are in Kan.

Fowls require salt in their ration in
order to thrive best, the same as do
all other animals. Ths mineral eie-
ments in the salt are desired by the
fowls, and their systems crave them.
But only a little salt Is needed-not
more than a handful a week to the ae-
erage-sized farm flock. Too much may
be more harmful than too little. AMI
since fowls often do not know wh III
they have had enough Of 1t, we dare
not place the salt before them, and
let tnem eat all they want, as can be
done with most other farm animals.
So the best way is to mix handful
occasionally with the soft food or
mash. This seasons the food and gives
it a palatable taste. as well as proving
benefit to the fowls.-Agricultur Il

WIPED OUT BY SMALLPOX.
Only One Survivor In a Russian VIII
IaEe of 100 Inhabitants.


Iage of 400 Inhabitants.
Details of the wiping out of an en-.
tire Russian village by smallpox have
just reached st. Petersburg, says a
New York Press correspondent The
village is named Volskaya, and is sit.
uated In the island of Sachalin.
Until a few weeks ago its population
was 1,1O0. Sanitation, as in most
Russian villages, was conspicuously
absent, and when the disease first ap-
peared few months ago no one was
troubled about 1t. Smallpox in Rus.
sia is frequently called the holy
sickness" and no attempt was made at
vaccination.
Sick and healthy children were
habitually bathed together, that being
believed an etflcacious treatment, and
after the local priest died the bodies
remained unburied. Thus the epidemic
ragged unchecked and entire families,
from grandfather to grandchild, were
stricken.
Finally a sanitary commission was
sent from the mainland. but could ac.
complish nothing, 1t has been decided
to burn to the ground this Village OF
DEATH" as 1t is popularity called. OF
the 1,100 Inhabitants only one remains,
a man of 72. named Vassilleff. The
disease spared him. but he has be-
come a maniac.

WHITE IMMIGRANTS FOR HAWAII

| Russians and Portuguese Beginning
| to Replace the Orien ntaIs.
Honolulu is encouraging to the ut
most immigration of whites to the is
lands" said Antonio Perry, associate
justice Of the supreme court of Hawaii
and former member of the board ol
education of the islands, according te
the Los Angeles Herald.
"The country Is succeeding to de
gree that is most satisfactory to the
planters, for we find the white laborer
is far superior to the Chinese and ia
panese. The Russians have proved
themselves especially adaptable to
work on the plantations. Five hun.
dred Russians arrived from Siberia
four months ago and more than 800
Portuguese were brought from the
Azores islands at about that time. In
fact, we have an agent, c. L. Atkinson,
recently secretary of the territory,
who makes his headquarters In Siberia
and before many years there will be
great numbers of Russians settle per-
manently in the islands. We are no
longer threatened with the yellow
peril
THE educational system OF the Is
lands is second to none In the United
States. Considerable attention is paid
to the development and care OF the
youth. We have a Juvenile court con-
Quoted in a similar manner as that OF
Colorado. The youths who are charged
with wrongdoing are separated from
the more hardened criminals before
and after they are tried and until they
begin the service of the sentence i'm
posed upon them.
81 am not much of a booster" said
Judge Perry, but perhaps 1t would
not be out of the way to say that Hon,
olulu is flooded with visitors and as a
consequence is building up great
tourist trade that in point Of annual
revenue is becoming an important fig
ure with her. This trade, however, is
greatly impaired because Of lack Of
steamer accommodations, and the
coastwise law passed by Congress
which prohibits carrying a passenger
from one city to another. The Philip
pines have had this law suspended. We
are asking Congress to suspend the
operation of this act for limited tim'
until ships can be built to carry tn'
| trade"
