HEARINGS IN COURT.
Judge Rice Reserves Decision i'm
Number of Cases.

A number of equity cases were
heard in court Tuesday and Mon
day afternoon by Judge Rice, but his
decision was reserved in the import
ant cases.
The Miller case was heard, but
Judge Rice had not made known his
decision Tuesday when court adjourn
ed for dinner.
Just before court adjourned at that
time a motion was made for a hear
ing Of the case Of G. p. and II. G..
Osteen against +. A. Bultman, ct al.
but Judge Rice stated that he was un-
prepared to hear the arguments and
that he would take the testimony and
look over it and render his decision
later, If this would be satisfactory
The matter had not been settled eth
er way when court adjourned.
A motion was made for a new trial
In the Dawes case on the ground that
Mrs. Dawes had failed to prove that
she had possession of the land and
had held it adversely for 10 years;
that there was no notice to the rail-
road Of the fact that it was held un-
der adverse possession and no proof
that such notice had been served;
and that the foreman and jurors had
visited the contested property and
taken measurements for themselves
which had influenced their decision.
Judge Rice reserved his decision in
this case also.
The motion for a new trial in the
case Of Robert Taylor against the A..
c. L. railroad company was abandon
ed
The motion for a new trial in the
case Of Samuel Weinberg against the
Southern Railway Company was also
abandoned.

IL, SSO-TURkO WAR COMING
"eiations Far from FriendIy-Per.
sia Bone of Contention.

i|ohuoh' April 6.-The relations of
RUSSIA and Turkey, which a few
weeks ago caused the circulation Of
alarming reports, may at anv mn.
''ient reach an acute stage, and again
the bone Of contention will he perc;a
AT the close Of the Russo Janoposo
war turkey moved some troops into
the Persian province Of Azerbaiian q
Slrlp OF which has been i'm disnuta for
upwards of two hundred years. Tur-
Key claims this strip; Persia holds IL
out the ownership has vet to he de-
cided. The question has haon ,,,,
Ject or negotiations. but while these
nave been going on Russia asserts
that Turkey has been SLOWLY moving
her forces forward until they have
gone even beyond the disputed strip
and now command the western mart
AZarbaijan, from Lake JJrumiah 70
the frontier, and could with ease at
tack the Russian province of Erivan.
Turkey denies any aggressive intan-
tions. She has informed the Russian
minister to the Porte that She has
troops in the disputed territory onlv
as Temporary expedient awaiting
The outcome Of friendly negotiations
and If necessary a reference to Thu
Hague Tribunal. An Anglo-Russian
commission, on the other hand. has
reported that the Russian assertion
is correct, and has issued a man
showing that Turkey has taken pos
session of about 10000 square miles
Of Persian territory.
Turkey firmness in supporting her
contention, and in not only placing
troops in the disputed strip but NOV
ing them forward, has given rise in
Russia to a suspicion that some other
Power is behind the Ottoman Govern
ment.
1t is pointed out that the ACQUISITION
of territory on the Persian frontier
might be accepted as compensation by
Turkey for the loss of Tripoli and the
Power that could bring about this er-
change would please Italy. Germany.
which has before tried to secure con-
cessions on Lake Urumiah. is the

ONLY RELIEF FROM CONGRESS,
Supreme Court Denies Rchearing i'm
Patent MONOPOLY Case.

Washington, April S.-The last
hope that the Supreme Court of the
United States might rehear it's recent
patent monopoly" decision vanished
today. when the court announced it's
refusal to reconsider its conclusion.
Renewed efforts will now be made
1t is understood, to have Congress
amend the patent laws SO as TO limit
the rights TO use patents enjoyed by
their owners. No reason was assign
ed for the denial Of the rehearing.
but it is generally understood that
none of the Justices who concurred
in the decision desired to reconsider
his vote.
The Governments antitrust policy
is vitally involved, because many of
the pending cases and Investigations
concern alleged usurpation Of power
through the extension of patent rights.
The courts action, it is said. will not
affect the Governments course under
the Sherman law at this time. as ulti-
mately 1t is believed, the question will
be brought before the court i'm some
of the pending cases.
ON March II the court decided that
In selling a patented machine the pat
entee may require the purchaser to
use only such supplies for the ma
chlne as are purchased from the own
er of the patent. notwithstanding that
the supplies are not patentable.

MANY TREATED FOR HOOKWORM
tientS Who Have Submitted TO
Treatment.

DIR. Milton Weinberg, the hook
worm specialist who has been in this
county for the past four weeks estab-
fishing free dispensaries for the treat
ment of hookworm has during his
stay in the county examined 716 diff
ferent persons for hOokworm. OF
this number $50 have been whites and
$50 negroes
Out of 294 microscopic examinations
151 have been found To be infected
with hookworm.
Among the negroes there have been
81 microscopic examinations Of which
10 patents or 27 per cent We're found
to be infected, while among the
whites there have been PSF micros-
copic examinations. and 141, or 54
per cent We're found to be infected. 1t
is therefore safe to say that fully fifty
per cent Of the patients who have been
examined are troubled with hook
worm.
Those patients who were found in
fected with the disease have been
treated for hookworm by DIR. Vein
berg with marked success. In every
case the patient has responded to
treatment in a manner which is truly
surprising and it is hard t. esti-
mate the amount of good which the
dispensaries will do for the people
throughout the whole county.
DIR. Weinberg was in the city Sat
urday and examined 1876 applicants
some Of them for the first time and
some for the second time. He holds
his dispensary at various places i'm
the county each day i'm the week and
Will continue to do so until April q.

tested in the work Of eradicating the

VIII breathe sghs of relief
The strife of the next SO hours will
decide whether scenes Of suffering
and distress along the upper Missis-
sippi will be re-enacted in the fertile
valleys of the delta and the Yazoo
south of Memphis. State and govern
ment officials say the dykes on the
eastern bank will withstand the tre-
mendous pressure that will be exerted
by the floods crest. Nevertheless.
they are apprehensive and fear of
breaks along the western dykes is
shown by reports of the abandonment
of homes and villages in the lowlands
from Helena southwark.
Stirring stories of the. rescue of
refugees in the flood-swept territory
of upper Arkansas have reached
Memphis last night One thousand
of more persons, marooned in Wya-
noke, Ark, were brought to Memphis
late yesterday afternoon.
1t is said that there has been some
loss Of life in the Wyanoke section,
but these reports are unverified, and
the mayor Of Helena last night sent
to the Associated Press an emphatic
statement declaring there had been
no fatality from the breaks south of
this city.
Unofficial estimates of the damage
vary widely. Many persons who know
every bend Of the great river from
New Orleans to Cairo say the pecuni-
ary loss will amount to $4,000, 900.
Other persons equally conversant with
the situation, modify this estimate.
Probably the heaviest specific loss
must be estimated in the destruction
of homes, the loss Of live stock and
the damage TO manufacturing plants
In the upper flood district. The
number of fatalities has been small.
Probably 80 deaths would meet the
conservative total.
There has. however, been tremen-
dous suffering among the homeless.
OF the 10000 or more persons who
have been driven forth by the raging
tide. hundreds have gone hungry and
without water for many hours before
| succor reached them. Hundreds have
been imprisoned on house tops, in
trees and anchored on rafts for long
periods.
Memphis proper is rapidly assum-
ing it's normal condition.

THE INDIVIDUAL COW
Of Northern Minnesota is Said to
Produce About $50 Pounds Of
Butter Fat
STRAIN SHOULD BE IMPROVED

The average COW in Minnesota and
the northwest produces about one
hundred and fifty pounds of butter
fat per year, and this butter fat just
about pays the owner for her feed
and care. The average man just
about earns what he spends, but the
ambitious farmer or business man
seeks to make record that is above
the average, and the farmer or dairy
man who would make a profit on his
COWS must secure that strain that is
above the average, and then he must
feed them by methods more intelli-
gent than those used by the average
farmer if he would succeed in his
ambition to excel.
But the way to accomplish results
in work of this kind is to get at it
at once and you will acquire knowl-
edge as the work progresses. Start
out by securing suitable scale or
balance for weighing of milk and a
small tester for determination of the
butter fat, together with a book or
milk sheet and a pencil for a per-
manent record of results; and after
a few months use of these, even he
fore you have investigated much in
the way Of proper feeding, you will
have found that some of your cows
are much above the average and that
others fall so far below it that you
should be rid of them at once.

STOPS APPOINTMENTS
President Taft Holds Up Federal Jobs
And Clears Way For A Big
State Fight.
CAROLINA BATTLE UND

By with drawing ali pending feder-
al appointments in North Carolina,
President Taft startled the Republic
can leaders and cleared the way for
a fight which is expected to result in
an uninstructed delegation from
North Carolina to the Republican
national convention. Progressive
Republicans charge that the presi-
dent is simply hanging up all the
North Carolina jobs as prize to the
faction which will win out in the
state fight and deliver twenty-four
votes in the national convention.
Advises from Washington of late
are to the further effect that pressure
has already been brought to bear in
several southern states to hold up
appointments in Congressional dis
tricts where there seems to be a,
likelihood of Progressive sentiment in
any marked degree. The resignation
of Representative Mckinley as chair
man of the Republican Congressional
committee and the appointment in
his stead of Burke of South Dakota
appears not to have lessened the
menace of the "steam roller" in the
eyes of many members of Congress.
