W|LLEFFORTSBEMADE
TOFORCE ATTENDANCE
OF INDEPENDENTS?
THAT Is NOW THE ABSORBING
QUESTION WITH THE LEG
LATORS.
LEGAL ADVICE Is TO CON RARl
But by Many II Is Believed That Just
Such an Effort Will Be Made If the
Exiles Return to Their Homes-Mr
Galloway Is Here.

That the legislative situation at
Nashville is chaotic is admitted by
all. The resolution of the Tom Tay-
lorites to remain in session indef-
nitely but adds to the confusion of
the situation. The all important sub
ject now under discussion is whether
or not the Independents will be arrest
ed and an attempt made to force them
TO serve after the expiration of the
seyenty-fve days.
Many of the so-called regulars deny
that any attempt will be made to
force the attendance of the Independ-
ents after Saturday while others just
as vehemently declare that all in the
State will be arrested and brought IN
der guard to the House and kept
there for sufficient length of time
to perpetrate any outrage that may be
in the minds of the regulars
The Independents have stated that
they would return to Tennessee after
Saturday but whether or not they will
remain any longer is problematical
Lawyers have advised the Independ-
ents, including such eminent jurists
as Judge Pitts, of Nashville, that there
was no legal power to force their at
tendance at Nashville after the sew
enty-fve days of the session expire.
And it is said that lawyers of ability
including Hon. John J. Vertrees, &C.
knowledged to be one of the greatest
legal lights in the South, have given
the same advice to the Pattersonites.
However, it might be that in spite
of this advice an effort will be made
to force the attendance Of the ipde-
pendents, and it is for just such an
emergency that they are said to be
preparing.
Representative Galloway, of this
county, is in Columbia today having
come out to visit his colleague, Rep
resentative Lipscomb, who Is sick.
Mr. Galloway stated that there was
no change in the situation at the cap
ital city.

WOULD NOT HURT
COUNTRY'S FEELING
BRITISH CORONATION SHORN OF
A BIG FEATURE THAT MIGHT
WOUND U. S.

LONDON, April 26.-It was learned
today that it was in consequence Of
communications between London and
Washington and hints to the Canadian
committee, Of which Lord Strathcona
is president, thot a decision was
reached to eliminate from the coro-
nation program Canada's principal
contribution pageantry festival Of
empire"
The piece, which has been in course
of preparation at the Crystal palace
and which called for 800 performers,
entitled, "Chateaugay-Where Cana
da was held for the Empire" was in
tended to represent the defeat
through strategy, Of the invading
American force in 1912 by handful
of Canadians. After consideration, 1t
was thought that the pageant might
wound susceptibilities of American
visitors to the coronation and 1t was
also suggested that feeling might
be caused in the United State that
would endanger the conclusion Of the
proposed Anglo-American arbitration
treaty. Rather than make eueher
event possible, the authorities decided
to abandon the spectacle.

HUGE BOULDER
FALLS ON A MAN
INNOCENT SLEEPER IN NEW

ING ROCK.

UTICA. N. Y, April 27.-A huge
ledge OF rock became dislodged from
the 'Rollway," a precipitous cliff in
the residence section Of Little Falls,
shortly before daybreak today and
plunged downward 300 feet through
the roof of the cottage Of Fred Van
VIE.
Van VIE was asleep in his bedroom
on the second floor, and the boulder
carried him, his bed and most of the
furnishings of the room through the
cellar, killing him instantly. Two
other members of his household who
were asleep in the room beneath Van
Wie's had miraculous escapes from
injury.

PLETED BY FIRST WEEK
IN MAY.
OATS and WHEAT LOOK GOO
Sheep shearing Has Not Become Gen.
eraI, But Several Small FIocks Are
Being Relieved of Their Wool This
Week-Reports From County.

The week OF pretty weather which
has held good for the past few days
has enabled the farmers in nearly all
parts of the county to get their corn
crop pretty well planted. In a few
fields, where the corn was planted late
in March, there is a stand coming
up, but the great majority of farm
ers did not plant until the past few
! days. IT there a few more days of
pretty sunsnlny weather, practically
the entire crop of the county will
have been planted.
While sheep shearing has not be-
come general over the county, there
are several small punches being clip
ped. The prices on wool are by no
means steady, the large buyers hold
ing off until they see whether Con-
gress will change the tariff schedule
in regard to wool.
Wheat and oats continue to grow
rapidly. In few weeks it will be
time for the heads to show, and al
ready threshers are being looked over
in preparation for a banner harvest.
The sale of binders and mowers has
been unusually good with local hard
ware dealers this spring.
Following are reports received from
some parts of the county this mo- "a
ing:
Williamsport-Corn planting has
been nearly completed; wheat and
oats look especially pleasing to the
farmers. The prospects are for a
banner crop of wheat.
acknowledgements are all busy
planting corn. This work will be fin
ished in this community within an
other week, unless there is change
, for the worse in the weather.
Theta-Farmer in this community
express the opinion that it has teen
several years since the wheat crop
was so far advanced as during the
present spring. Oats are also look
ing pretty. Corn planting is about
finished iare.
Spring Hill-Everyone on the farm
is busily engaged in corn planting this
week, and it is expected to finish the
work in a few more days under ia
vorable weather conditions. Some Of
the fields which were planted before
the rainy spell several days ago show
very good stand of corn. Wheat,
oats and clover look exceptionally
pleasing to the farmers.
Culleoka-The passage of the cold
, weather has encouraged the farmers
in this section to get busy with their
corn planting, and it is thought that
this work will practically all be done
by the first week in May.

pecially wheat and oats, look salen-
