eide some time Wednesday near the
home of his father eleven miles from
own on the Bear Creek pike.
The details of the deplorable AFFAIR
are somewhat meager. According to
messages received over the telephone
today, it appears that the father and
son went to the woods early Wednes-
day morning to get load OF wood.
After loading the wagon Mr.. Rum
mage started to town, but sent MS
son back to get whip that had been
lost near the place where they had
cut the wood. The understanding was
that the boy should go on to schoo
after finding it. Mr.. Rummage came
on to town with the load, supposint
that his son had gone to school, How

The corpse of the boy was immedl-
ately taken to the home of his father.
The burial took place Thursday after
noon, in the cemetery near Hardison's
store. A large crowd of neighbors
and friends were in attendance.
So far no possible cause has been
assigned for the untimely death OF
the boy. No possible reason can be
found why the boy should take his

FRUIT CROP NOT

~ UPON HORTICULTURAL
MATTERS.
PROSPECTS FOR BUMPER CROP
Buds Did Not Swell In Recent Warm
speIi-Weather Not Cold Enough
to. XIII Even II They Had Come
Out.

1.-THE fruit crop of Maury coup-
ty has not been damaged or hurt
in the least by the recent warm
weather. Strange to say, the
buds of the trees did not swell
at all, and so they were not in
jured by the cold snap that has
swept over the country since
Friday. Furthermore, it is not
cold enough, I think, to hurt the
buds, even if they had swelled.
There is the finest prospect for
a big fruit crop that we have
had in years. All the fruits are
in splendid shape, and l see no
reason why we should not have
an abundance of peaches, ap-
pies, pears, aud other fruits, nm
less something unfavorable de-
velops in the weather line"
This was the substance of an
| interview that r. A. Wilkes, one
of the best known nursery men
and horticulturists in the County
and State gave to a Herald re.
porter this morning. Mr.. Wilkes
is an authority upon all matters
relating to fruit as well as to
good roads. He has had years
of experience in handling and
raising fruit, and his word is re-
garded as final upon such mat
iters.
This news WILDE welcome to

the last resource to, determine their
rights.
Effort is making, as might have
been expected, to cultivate the fear
that there will be serious legal en-
tanglements by reason of the pos
sible informality of acts in which
Mr.. Newman participates, in case
later he is finally held to have been
ineligible. There is, of course, no
danger of this kind. Mr.. Newman is
a de facto officer, in possession of
the office; duly appointed and con-
frmed. His acts are the acts of a
de facto officer, and will be sus-
tanned as such. 1t is utterly gratui-
tous to urge that he retire now in
order to avoid such possible compli-
cations.
AS to the decision Of the jury,
which overtJrns the decisions of the
Department of Justice, the Presi-
dent, the Senate District Committee,
and the Senate, and the District Su-
preme Court, it need only be said
that the decisions of juries are apt
to be interesting to people who view
the facts and then undertake to fft
verdicts to them.

sentiments of the kind expressed by
Mr.. Massey are approved by very
large majority of the oversee peoples.
They have made their homes in coun-
tries which attract the Asiatic imml-
grant. In some cases, admittedly. they
have themselves created this attraction
by the use of indentured Asiatic labor
But they hold with a tenacity charac-
teristic Of their race that Asiatic i'm
migration on any large scale is likely
to be an obstacle to progress on British
lines.
This conviction is at the root of their
opposition to the influx of Asiatics. II
is not merely a selfish opposition. AL
the same time they are acutely con.
scious that II involves grave imperial
difficulties. The debate in the South
African parliament on the second read
ing of the bill to remedy the grievances
of the Indian community shows how
potently imperial loyalty affects local
interests in such matters. Both Mr.
Merriman, the doyen of South African
politics, and General Botha, prime min
lister of the union. insisted on the duty
of the Kings subjects in the outer en-
pire to hold the balance between their
local interests and their imperial oblSa-
tions. We have no doubt that. as our
correspondent at Cape Town predicts,
this view will prevail But II Is essen
be lacking in appreciation OF what may
be called the dominion point OF view.
The day of a final settlement OF the
Asiatic difficulty as it touches the DO
minions Is not yet Till II comes. the

terry Of their own houses.

BY WAY OF APOLOGY.

Chairman johnson of the House
District Committee has taken The
Times to tasy for saying editorially:
Mr.. Johnson was especially vindictive
In questioning the chairman of the
Poard OF Commissioners during the re-
cent public ownership hearings.
Mr.. Johnson points out that this
was not an dcould not have been
true, because he was not present
wnen Mr.. Commissioner Newman
was before the committee. He is
correct. The Times observation was
an error, corrected the instant it was
noted; which was in the later edi-
tions Of me day of its publication.
Mr. johnson was not especially
vfndictive in questioning" Mr.. New
nan. 1t was a mistake to say so.
Mf. Johnson was contemptuous and
unfair in questioning other witnesses,
and doubtless would have been so if
he had questioned Commissioner
Newman. His colleagues of the anti
municipal ownership persuasion
managed to be all of those things
toward Mr.. Newman.
But Mr.. Johnson's attitude toward
Mr.. Newman was beyond criticism.
Mr.. Johnson was several hundred
miles away when Mr.. Newman was
on the stand.
1t may be added that Mr.. John
sons attitude toward District of Co.
lumbia affairs generally would de-
serve the same high commendation
that we now gladly accord him to
his treatment Of Commissioner New
man, If he would treat District mat
ters as he did Chairman Newman;
that is, if he would stay as far away
from them as, say, the Lexington.

ECHO

The Illinois banking authorities,
investigating the conduct of the Lor-
inner banks in Chicago, find that
they have found an item of $4,000
or thereabouts, in the paper of for
MGR Senator Payater of Kentucky.
In other words, that money was
loaned to Senator Paynter.
Paynter was a member of the Sem
ate Committee on Privileges and
Elections when the first investiga-
ton of Lorimer was made, ending
in the famous coat of whitewash
that later, through the processes of
another inquiry, was rubbed off.
Paynter was a candidate for renomi-
nation and was defeated, his record
of pro-Lorimerism being the chief
ground for the overwhelming oppo-
sition.
The development, now, that Payn-
ter was a heavy borrower at the
lorimer bank, needs no comment. It
suggests quite all that is needed as
to the motives and inspirations of
the support that was SO unstintedly
accorded to the lumber statesman by
certain public men. most of whom
have since been retired from the Sem
ate. The casualty record of the
IoriIner case continues to hold a
leading place among modern politi,
cal disasters.

Newman claims the right to the

inquiry reported to the President
that MIR. Newman was eligible, and

authorities and its own committee
before it. confirmed the nomination.
The Supreme Court of the District
sustained the view of President and
Senate; but the Court of Appeals
took a different view, and the case
Was sent back to the Supreme Court
for trial before jury, which has
now decided against Mr.. Newman.
Under all the circumstances, there
