jury System Is Praised BY All and
There Appears More Confidence on,
4 the Part Of the Citizens Regarding
Suppressions.

The effects of the acts of the re-
cent term OF the circuit court under
the new jury system is being noted
BY almost every one in the city, and
Iparticularly by the officers The
|lhost noticeable feature is the effect
1.-The action Of the grand jury and the
tcourt has had upon the Illegal traIiic
lin intnxicants. The officers say there
Its less drunkenness, and less occa-
lsion for arrests along this line, and
the record bears them out in this
statement.
They further state that the bott-
lleggers are less troublesome, ana
here like in Nashville, the big fish
have been caught in the drag net of
the grand jury, and are now sQuirm-
ing to find a loop hole to escape the
penalty Of the law, has has frighten-
! ed the smaller ones. and absolutely
closed up the larger dealers.
Some OF those who were indicted
lat the last term Of the court have
lbeen out Of the city since and there
lis a current rumor that this absence
may be Of permanent nature, though
Ithis cannot be confirmed. There Is
Ialso q persistent runor that some
| Of those who have been kind enough
to make bond for these persistent vi
olators will have occasion to remem-
/ Der the last term Of the circuit court.
1for II they are not called upon %
make good upon the bond, 1t may be
necessary to put up reward. All
these matters are subjects Of current
discussion particularly around the
icourt house.
| ii is said the town is freer from
Iyiolators of the liquor laws now than
It has been for many years, and as
lthis law is respected SO are the 9TH
Ter laws respected, for out Of drunk
enness the officers say seventy-five
Iper cent OF the other violations grow.
Oficials from Mt. Pleasant give q
similar report. One officer was In
lThe Herald Office this morning and
Isaid:
"We have the bootleggers about
whipped in our town. They are
afraid to make move; they are
|afraid OF the grand jury now And,
ltoo, / find there is a more willing dis
position on the part Of the better cit
lizens to assist in the prosecutions;
tthey have some faith in the juries.
IThen, the new jug Ia wis q great

THE FIRST ATTEMPT
TO EXPLAIN JONES
Fl D IN A LETTER
3. TUCKER or FRANKLIN
COUNTY TELLS or A DIS
APPEARANCE.
FIXES AMOUNT At s6,JTO LARGE EOaCE is fNGAGED
In the Meantime Treasure Is Resting
In the Vaults Of the Maury Nation
al Bank Awaiting the Coming Of
Another Claimant Than Jones.

The first attempt to solve the mys-
tery of the hidden treasure found by
Will Jones on the Oliver farm three
weeks ago comes from Beividere in
Franklin county It. B. Tucker, of
that place, has written letter in
which he refers to the mysterious
disappearance OF a man named
Northcut, together with a sum Of
money, in 1864, and he endeavors to
connect the two incidents. The let
ter is.
In order that some persons might
be profited or some light be shed on
the treasure found on Duck river as
reported in the Banner from Colum-
bia in Wednesdays issue, my brother
states that in 1854 he, together with
other employees OF rafting company,
were engaged in floating q raft down
Duck river, The river got low and
they had to anchor and remain at q
given point. The river got low and
they had to anchor and remain at a
given point for some time until the
rise OF the river. While there the
captain OF the company, q Mr.. North
cut, was called out to the river bank
BY q few persons unknown by the
crew and was supposed to have been
killed as he and his money were new
Ter heard Of any more. This raft was
valued at $6,O0O.'
In the meantime the treasure, the
amount still matter Of speculation
on the part Of the public, Is still at
the Maury National Bank, and the
probabilities Of lawsuit to deter
mine ownership does not appear to be
very imminent.
Jones is in mo particular hurry to
remove the same, or to make known
the amount although he is a poor
man and says he could use it to good
advantage. It Is his desire to give
every opportunity to any possible
(owner to establish claim to the prop.
erty. His conduct in the matter
since the find has been such as to
meet the commendation Of all.

In the daily half hour confidential
talk with his boy an ambitious London
father tried to give some advice.
~Be observing, my son." said the
father on one occasion. Cultivate
the habit of seeing, and you will be
a successful man. Study things and
remember them. Don't go through the
world blindly. Learn to use your eyes.
Boys who are observant know a great

SAVING A WORK OF Art.
Ingenious Scheme of q Restorer of
Damaged Masterpieces.

Damaged Masterpieces.
An instance of the ingenuity exer-
cised by restorers of damaged, master
pieces of painting is afforded by the
rescue of a famous painting now own
ed by the widow of the late John Hay,
secretary of state.
Mr.. Hay had a Madonna by Botdcel-
which was painted on a wooden
panel at least 400 years ago. The
wood had begun to crack, and it was
feared that the painting would be
ruined, but a restorer was found who
said he could save it.
The first step was to paste thin strips
of tissue paper on the face OF the pic
ture, pressing the paper into the IN
even surface of the paint Layers were
added until a thick body of paper con-
cealed the picture
Then the picture was turned over,
and the restorer began to sandpaper
the board away. After many months
Of careful work he had all the wood
removed, and nothing but the paint ad-
hered to the paper. A piece Of linen
canvas was then glued to the paint,
and the work of removing the paper
from the front of the picture was I'M
dertaken 1t required nearly a year to
complete the work, but when it was
done the painting was left in shape to
last another four centuries.-Chicag

The volume is all that could be de-

such as indistructible records records
that are longer in duration of music,
Jeweled needles that never need re-

effect common to steel needles. The
