PARENTS WARNING
Dwells Upon Education OF
Children in Homes.

rs our modern educational system
failure or a SUGGEST" was the question
propounded in a sermon by Rev. DR..
Abram Simon at the Eighth Street Tenn
pie last night. The address bore special
reference TO the graduates of the high
schools, colleges, seminaries, and univer-
stiles.
Have these young men and women
added to the strength, to the character,
virtue. and righteousness of the world?"
continued the speaker. 1T would be in
teresting to take a census of them and
see what they are doing to-day, and as
certain whether our modern educational
system is a success or failure
Rev DIR. Simon sdmonished parents to
give their sons and daughters the benefit
of good home surroundings and influ-
ences. Thousands of school-teachers,"
said DR.. Simon, will not make good
what one parent has neglected to do.
Twenty-Five minute heart-to-heart talks
every day between parents and children
will do more than anything else. 1t will
guarantee the future of our country. The
character of the boy and girl depends
upon what they can take with them from
their homes"

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By w. A. MACY.
THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.
Many people do not know there
was once State of Franklin Ia
the United States. 1t existed for
four years. from 1884 to 1888.
Many emigrants from North Car
olina had crossed the mountains
and settled in what is now known
as East Tennessee. The territory
belonged to North Carolina, but
the State government had not
been able to give 1t much atten-
ton. Owing to financial and 9TH
er troubles North Carolina ceded
the territory to the general gov
ernment. The inhabitants did
not relish the idea of thus being
cast adrift so unceremoniously.
so they organized a State and
set up government of their
own. To their new Common
wealth they gave the name of
Franklin. after the Philadelphia
philosopher. But Congress de-
clined to recognize the new State.
and North Carolina raised strong
objections. The latter withdrew
the cession to the government,
and undertook to resume control
Of the territory. A long. quarrel
. ensued between the North Caro-
lima State government and the
citizens of Franklin. The leader
of the latter was GOV" Sewer,
while Col. Upton represented
the former. There was an i'm
mense amount of pickering and
much confusion, but very little
bloodshed. 1t finally ended In
North Carolina resuming control
of the territory, and the State
of Franklin" was known no
more.

Umpire Harries handled the in

called on the police to stop the

L0CUSTS READY
TO BEGIN WORK
Great Devastation Expected
in the East.

officials of the Department OF Agricul-
ture are in receipt of the first announce
ment of the appearance of the seven
teen-year-locusts, due to ravage the
crops of the Eastern portion Of the
United States this summer. There have
yet been no manifestations of the pres
ence of the pests in the District of
Columbia, but just across the Potomac
River, in Alexandria County, Va, the
first of the devastators have put in an
appearance.
The cicadae. which have lain in the
ground for seventeen years. are certain
to play their return engagement this
summer. The States of New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania. Maryland. Dela-
ware, Virginia. and North Carolina will
probably be visited. The entomologists
OF the Department believe New Jersey
will be the center of devastation.
The cicadae Is the most destructive OF
any OF the inspect pests against which
the Bureau of Entomology wages war
fare. They attack not only the grow.
ing crops, but the trees and shrubbery
as well Even the evergreens, cedars.
spruce. lignum vitae, and pine suffer
from their ravages.
The appearance of the locusts In Vir-
ginia Is accepted as a signal for the
District of Columbia bug fighters to pre-
pare for action. The foliage-destroytns
insects may be expected to begin their
work here within a week. In New York
and New Jersey they will be due about
June 10.

NO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
Standard OIL Officials Busy Reor-
Ranizing Component Parts.

1t is practically certain that no action
looking toward a criminal prosecution OF
officials connected with the Standard Oil
Company will be taken in the next six
months If It be taken at all. Within that
limited period of time the Standard Oh
must recognize in its component parts
IN accordance with the decree of the
Supreme Court and its recent decision.
This mammoth task Is certain to prove
enough to keep the officials OF the De-
partment OF Justice busy with that COM
pany without their stretching out for
further prosecutions.
1t is said at the White House that the
Attorney General has not discussed the
question of criminal prosecution with
President Taft and that there seems no
probability now of the administrator s
considering a move in that direction.
