FIRE.
Consumes the Good Old
John Pearson Home In
the Absence of Family
of Walter Pearson Who
Occupied 1t.

Last Sunday afternoon about 8
O'Clock, while Walter @. Pear
son aud family were away from
their home, having gone to at
tend a church service q mile or
more distant, the old John Pear
son home, four miles North Of
Lexington was destroyed by fire
of unknown origin; it is believ.
ed, however, that the fire was
caused from defective Aue or a
box Of ashes. The fire burned
SO rapidly that nothing value was
saved by the one nelghbor boy
who reached the scene while the
house was Burning, and Mr..
Pearson's loss is estimated at at
least $4,000 more than the 81 900
insurance he carried. Among
other losses to Mr.. Pearson and
family was that of more than q
thousand pounds Of meat. in.
clu ding twenty fine hams which
Mr.. Pearson intended to bring
to Lexington and sell on last
Monday. The smokehonse was
burned aud only by the heroic
work of those who reached the
scene too late to attempt to save
the house or its contents, was
the barn prevented from burning
by carrying water from the we'll
and the stock pond. The house
burned had been improved by
Walter, but the main building
had become almost a landmark
of this section. Thirty years
ago it was the happy home Of
John Pearson, whose death oc-
CURED years ago. and since the
death of Mr.. Pearson the place
has continuously been occupied
by members of the family.

Corn from Japan
Rocky Islands Not Likely
to Repeat Shipment
y Next Year.

Tue portentoust news comes
from Seattle that 1900 bags of
corn from Japan we're landed
there last Wednesday. This
corn was of good quality and sold
at the same price as corn from
Nebraska.
Japan isa string Of rocky is
lands with a total area equal to
three Nebraskas. But instead
Of having TO support the popula-
|tion of three Nebraskas, it has
the population of more than fifty
ENebraskas to sustain. So these
volcanic islands ehaye produced
food to keep this crowded popu-
Ilation alive, and have a little to
spare for US besides. The Seat.
tie dispatch says there is to be
more japanese corn there.
This is Us bad as Chinese eggs.
1t isn't SO humiliating to have
Argentina sending US 5000, 900
bushels Of corn in the last year,
for Argentina is, like ourselves,
fairly virgin soil with plenty
of room to grow crops. But to
find ourselves on our broad acres
producing so little corn that our
comparatively sparse population
needs call on overcrowded, half.
starved, Japan for some of it's
store-this is alarming.
This will not happen next
year. These driblets of Argen.
tina and Japanese corn have
come in this year because last
years crop fell more than half a
billion bushels short of the usu.
al amount. The United States
is still the leading corn country
.of the earth, and will be for
some time to come. This was a
special occasion, the worst drouth
year the corn belt ever knew.
Even Nebraska, corn state par
excellence, was glad this year to
draw on South Dakota and Iowa
for corn for feed Nebraska was
thankful South Dakota and Iowa
had corn for US to import, and
we, are thankful, Of course, that
japan could spare a few sacks
for the Seattle people whose u.s.,
ual source of supply failed this
year. But we ought TO see that
it doesn't I happen again. We
should make our lands produce
more corn. The Japanese need
our corn, to say nothing Of send
ing us theirs.

SENSATION.
Charlie, II. King, Regular
Member Of State EIec-
tion G o m m | $ s | o n,
Charged With Violation
of Sacred Pledges.


The State of Tennessee has
been treated to quite sensa-
tion, through the public prints,
in connection with the appoint
ment Of a Orump henchman as
Regular election missioner
for Shelby county by Charles II !.
King, Of Jackson, the Regular
mem Der Of the State Board of
Elections.
The power BY which King was
elected to the position Of State
Commissioner Of election was
vested in Secretary of State r..
R. Sneed, Comptroller, George
P. Woollen and State Treasurer
W. P. Hickerson. The appoint.
ment was made by King on Mon
day of last weeK, after some days
of doubt and after King being in
constant and very close touch
with henchmen Of Crump, the
unscrupulous mayor Of Memphis.
Secretary Sneed has testified
that Mr.. King was under the
ri.
most solemn obligation that be
would nots appoint a Crump
henchman-for it is generally
understood that when Crump
gets the machinery at Memphis,
he gets the election regardless
Of the votes cast. Anyhow, King
threw everything else to, the
winds and after turning down
such men as O. p. j. Mooney,
editor of the Commercial APP
peal, appointed j. O. Parham,
who seems to have no greater
distinction than the fact that he
is a follower of E. Il. Crump,
who took a solemn oath to en-
force the laws of the State and
then protected and encouraged
the law.breaklng saloon keepers
of Memphis. Than this, no man
can have a greater blot on hisof.
fetal record and in behalf Of the
commonest kind Of decency and
honesty it was essential to see
that every henchman of Crump
be excluded from holding cleo
tions in Shelby county. The dir
ty stories told on King, while he
was captive in the hands of the
Orump, touts, whether true or
untrue, are sufficient to max him
wish that the Mississippi River
had engulfed and wiped out all
the rottenness Of Memphis, be-
fore he made the appointment at
the hehest of the Crump crowd.
We have long known and liked
Charlie King and we regret that
he has become the subject Of
\ discreditable publicity. The
one thing we get out Of IL all Ais,
that II King were appointed Ia
the belief that he could be- con
trollcd BY those who engineered
his appointment, they neeq not
be surprised that the bid Wal
