SOUTHERN MERCHANTS.

Nashville. Tenn, Feb. 24.-With
preparations practically complete
for the gathering of the great Con-
vention of Southern Merchants III
Nashville, Feb. % and the three
first days of March, the executive
committee and the various sub
committees have come to reallza-
ton that it is a much more import
ant undertaking than even they
had expected. When the move
ment was launched. 1t was
thought that something of an ed
vocational campaign would be nee
essary to bring mere hants to Nash
vile for the purpose of crystaliz
ing public sentiment in regard to
the proposed Parcels Post law.
1t was found, however, that South
ern Merchants were already wide
awake as to the significance of the
thing. and that, almost as uni,
they opposed the passage of any
such bill as that now before Con
gress. Enthusiasm throughout the
entire South came without urging
and for some time past the ques-
ton before the Committee has
been, not how to get merchants in
terested. but how to take care of
them when they get here.
The pos; office department of
the United States government re-
allies the Importance of the Con
vention and, some days ago, made
the request that a representative
of the Department be allowed to
address the Convention, favorably
to tn bill now pending. The re-
quest was granted and a repre-
sentative of the department, one
of the Assistant Post Mas els Gen
eral, will address the Convention.
Among the distinguished speak
ers will be John Sharpe Williams,
of Mississippi, former Gov. Benton
McMil.m of Tennessee and former
Secretary of War Luke f. Wright
The list of commercial organi-
cations cooperating with the ex-
ecutive committee in the interest
of the convention includes prac-
tically all such organizations Of
are the Chamber of Commerce of
any Importance in the South.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR
ORCHARD.

One of our friends in the Piney
Woods who has a fine young
peach orchard in full bloom was
very much disturbed yesterday
when the government weather re-
port told of frost and freeze for
last night. but later in the day de-
cided on a plan to save his fruit.
And this is the plan
He purchased 20 joints of 6-ineh
stove pipe and cut 3-inch wide
by 6-inch place in the shape of ali
inverted Y at the bottom, and
showed 3 inches Of the bottom in
the grornd through his orchard,
leaving a draught Of the rest of the
V shaped. These 20 joints Of pipe,
scattered through the orchard, he
then proceeded to build fires in
them and kept it up al night, u.s.
ing rotten pine wood to produce a
smoke. While all around him this
morning showed evidence OF jack
Frost s visit his trees were. I'M
touched by frost or freeze.
Other parties built. brush heap
fires around their orchards and
garden and kept up smoke all
night. which saved their trees and
vegetables. But as a brush heap
cannot be set on fire close to trees
and vegetables. it is the opinion
that the stove pipe arrangement
above mentioned is much the bet
ter. They can be placed all
through the garden or orchard
without injury to anything

death were caused through extern

Insured. while attempting to allght
from a buggy one day. fell and
sustained injuries from which he
died about three weeks later. The
company believed that his death
did not come within the terms of
the policy. and refused to pay the
claim. whereupon insured S wife
brought this action .contendlng
that his death resulted from the
fall. which produced auto-lntoxica-
ton, The court holds that the
