In THE CITY.

Mr.. T. J.. Elliott, of Muskogee, Okla,
spent three days in the city the guest
of DR.. and Mrs. s. M Brown, of 18th

to look Nashville over and presumably
to see what preparations were being
made for moving Nashville to Musko-
gee for five days in June. He stated
to a Globe reporter that he been to
st. Louis and Chicago on a business
trip and since he was within a short
distance Of Nashville an dnever hay
ing visited the icty, thought to locke
it over. He visited the educational
institutions and was the guest Of DR..

under way to secure a downtown or
central location, where the two secre-
taries, Rev. ]. Davenport Bushell and

a number of visitors Monday, among
those present being Rev. David Wen
dell Reed, a blind evangelist OF Chi
cage, Ill, and Mr.. T. J. Elliott, of Mus
kogee, Okla. They were introduced
and spoke briefly. Much interest was
conferred in Mr.. El1iott's visit, as 1t was
supposed that he came to look over
the situatio min Nashville, presumably
to get an impression as to the size
of the Congress delegation. A recon-
mendat. on was made to the Confer

"a man Of high political courage in

lynching if America is to retain its
title Of a civilized country, and pas
sionately do we, who love her, desire
that she should retain it. She must
put down lynching. We do not say
to marry them (Negroes), or to ask
them to dinner, or even to sit in the
same cars with them. What we do
say is, stop burning them alive"

approximately $4,000, 900, Investigation
is said by contending heirs to have
revealed the existence Of many valua-
BILE possessions of which nothing was
known in Memphis until some time
after Mr.. Church's death.
Considerable of this property Is said
to be situated in other cities, and in
cludes several handsome residences in

| Mrs. Laura c. Napier, claiming to be
the daughter of Mr.. Church under first
marriage and charging that the will
probated in Memphis was procured
through undue means and when the
testator was mentally incapable of ex
e~cuting a will. The contestant is the
wife Of Mr.. Andrew j, Napier,
wealthy Vancouver real estate man.
The benefciaries under the will are

SELECTING GOOD SEED.
By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of
Agriculture.


Every farmer at this time of the
year should be considering seriously
the question of where to obtain seed
for the next years crop. The scien-
tifc farmer has long ago learned
that it does not pay to plant any kind
of seed bought at any place possible.
In the paragraphs following a few
of the points that determine good
seed will be taken up in such a man
ner as to enable the farmer to know
how to tell good seed.
In the first place vitality must he.
considered. Old seed, that is, seed
not grown the previous year, will
usually terminate to a certain extent
and grow, but good results can never
be expected from such seed. Usually
the plant is weaker and slower in
growth; especially is this true Of gar
den crops, and some of the smaller
cereals. Corn will grow about as
we'll when two or three years Of age
as new seed, and very little difference
can be noted in its vitality, but never
theless its use Is not to be recon-
mepded. In connection with age do
not go to the other extreme and pur-
chase seed that is not mature, due
probably to being harvested too early
or to bad weather conditions. A
rainy season when grains r in shock
or ripe in the field will often caues
the seeds to swell or even sprout.
Such seeds when planted can never
produce as strong plants as If they
had been harvested and threshe(
while in the dry condition, Even at
ter harvesting grains, especially corn
