Chancellor John Allison, at
Nashville, last Friday, after
holding the case for several days
delivered q far-fetched opinion,
which il sustained by the Su-
preme court, will make valid
the election law passed by a
qnorumless Legislature over the
veto Of Governor Hooper. The
Chancellor is himself Q Regu-
lar De mocrat and his decision
did not in the least surprise the
anti-liquor element Of the state
for it was boldly predicted by
such liquor sheets as the Nash.

No Need to Worry.

Tennessee need take no alarm
because she finds no offerings
for her bond Issues. She cannot
be injured in the least. She
can stand pat, and wait till such
times as the money market be-
comes easier, and those who con-
troll it come to their senses. Her
mountains and valleys and sub
'stantial assets cannot be loaded
up and carted away. They must
remain here. The stringency in
the money market is wholly fac
titious and unnatural. AS a
matter of fact in the sale of one
Issue of bonds for the purpose
Of redeeming another issue,
there is very little money in
volved. 1t is merely trading a
new bond for an old bond, and
usually the new bond bears less
interest than the old one. II
the money lords who hold her
old bonds refuse to accept new
securities in exchange, \ Tennes
see should take them at their
word, and let them keep what
they have until such time as
they are willing to make the
proposed exchange. -Scimitar.

Hinson Springs
Hotel
Handsome Structure at
Well known Sum inner
Resort Burned to the
Ground with Practical
ly all Furnishings.

Ou Ahuioduy uluCAuubu VI luo
week, May 29th, at 8 o'clock OF
a little after, the handsome ho-
tel structure at Hinson Springs,
on the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis Railway, two miles
West Of Lexington, was acci.
dentally burned to the ground.
The accident, was deplorable,
coming as it did just on the eve
of the Summer opening and
when the newness of the build.
ing had scarcely become dimned.
The cause Of the fire was one
which could hardly be anticipat-
ed and the accident which
brought it about seemingly an
unavoidable one. The light and
water plants Of the hotel were
run by . gasoline engine and as
the opening was close at hand it
was necessary to make q try
out" to see if the light wires
and water pipes were in condi-
tion for use. This try out"
was being done when it was sup
posed that wires were crossed in
the attic, with the possibility
that the insulating had been dis
turbed thereon, caused ignition,
kicked back" on the engine,
causing explosion and SO rapid
ly did the fire spread that fear
of falling floors, etc., prevented
otherwise possible effort to save
the valuable furnishings Of the
more than seventy-fve rooms.
Notwithstanding the structure
was massi0ely built, the entire
house burned to the ground in
forty.fve minutes.
The location of Hinson Springs
is almost as old as the town of
Lexington which was founded in
the year 1922. The late Mrs.
W. O. (Louise) McHaney, who
died several years ago, having
passed the age Of eighty, remem-
bered having visited the spring
when she was a young lady.
There was for many years even
before the civil war, house on
the site, but the first real hotel
was erected iu 1874 by Joe Hin.
son from whom the resort gets
its name. That house was burn
ed in 1882. Erection of the next
building was begun in 1894, af-
ter the building Of several cot.
tages by j. N. Hall, and was
completed for the opening of
the season Of 1895. After run.
ming two seasons by j. n. Long,
who built the house, it was
burned on the first Monday in
October, 1896. Rebuilt at once
by J. H. Long, the place was
run by Long and others until
four years ago, when the proper
ty was purchased by the Hinson
Springs Hotel Company and the
spacious and handsome building
burned last week was put up
and furnished at a cost approx
mating $4,000. We are inform
ed that the loss in the recent
fire was some $4,000, with
about half or $4,000 insurance.
The site Of Hinson Springs is
an ideal summer resort and the
water unsurpassed from any and
all stAndpoints, being abundant,
|pafAtable and healthful. Ara
resort properly run and wibely
advertised, it could he made
one Of the best in Estate or

BEAR ALMOST GETS BOY

Joe Medina and son who are
herding the Boyd Wallace and
Frank Collar sheep had an excit-
ing experience with two bears at
their camp on the head of the
South Fork one day last week.
The bears were quite bold and
were causing trouble among the
sheep, so one night Medina set a
trap for them. The next morning
the herders heard a great commo.
tion at the trap and the elder
Medina started for the place leav-
ing his boy to look after the sheep.
lie found big bear fast in the
trap and commenced shooting at
1t when here came the boy as fast
rs fear and his legs would carry
him with the other bear in close
pursuit. Being afraid to shoot
at the second bear for fear that he
could not kill it at the first shot,
the herder set his dog on it and
succeeded in turning the bear aside.
but the boy escaped by narrow
margin.
1t took eight shots with a .3O3
Savage to kill the bear in the trap,
and the other bear was not moles-
ted because the Mexican felt sure
IT would get him and the boy too
before he could kill il.

WELCOME THE SILO

The day when the farmer will
no longer send up distress signal
because of a failure of his crops
for season, is not far off.
The remedy at hand is being
used in many communities, and
soon will be practically universal
policy-accordingtoan expert. he
says good days for the farmer are
coming, not because crops are
going to be bigger and better, or
because someone has discovered
to make it rain at convenient in
tervals, but for the simple reason
that farmers, like other people, are
learning to conserve.
Deland Humphries, a Kansas
farmer, believes in laying little
something away when crops are
good. Not money, but crops he
stores for rainy day" and now
he is not bit worried for himself,
just because they are having
drought in Kansas. He has enough
feed for his stock for several years.
The remedy for suffering at the
time of drought is the silage
system.-Pueblo Star Journal.
