following report OF 0 commfttee
appointed before nooon and the
report was adopted:
We, the committee appointed
to submit suggestive plans for
good roads in Henderson County
to q mass meeting of the citi-
zens of the equity, Saturday af-
ternoon at ! 80 o'clock, July Is,
beg leave to submit the follow.
ing:
Whereas, in consideration of
the aroused sentiment of the
people of Henderson County con.
corning good roads, the County
court at its quarterly session in
April, 1914, has ordered an cleo
tion to be held on August 9th to
authorize the selling of bonds
to the value of $4,000, with
which to improve road condi-
tione.
Whereas, Ia proper understand
ing of the disposition will be-
made Of the funds raised, will
serve to clarity the atmosphere,
and tend to insure the passage
of the measure for the issuance
lof good roads bonds, and enable
the county to advance the inter
ests of all classes of its citizen
ship by improving road condi.
tions, therefore, be it resolved,
First, That this committee is
heartily of the opinion that the
practical out-working of the good
roads movement in the county
should be characterized BY judi.
clous expenditure of the funds,
and an impartial distribution Of
the labor Of improving the roads,
each civil district Of the county
sharing alike, in proportion to
the assessed valuation of the
property Of each district.
Second, That to cover the
particular point Of the judicious
expenditure of the funds, we
recommend the appointing by
this Convention of a committee
of three from each civil district
to cooperate with the County
Court, if acceptable to the court,
in auditing the accounts in the
expenditure Of. funds aud in guar
anteeirg that each civil district
will share alike in the benefits
of the good roads movement.
Third, That we recommend
that this committee to be Great.
ed, select a man or men to ap.
pear with the county candidates
at each OF their appointments
|through the, county, explaining
the points involved in the mat.
ter of the issuance Of bonds for
good roads.
Fifth, That we further recon-
that the county court be called
in extraordinary session to adopt
the suggestions herein contained
that the same made be fully and
clearly set before the voters be-
fore the August election.
Respectfully submitted.

That albumen, the nourishing mat

plants. is not essential to the devel-
1pment OF the seed, has been shown
by experiments in making seeds ger
inmate after they have been deprived
Of their albumen. BY this starving
process queer vegetable specimens
have been obtained, many Of them
dvarfed or deformed. but It has
proved that vegetable matter may at.
tain srowth without being nourished
by albumen.
Il is believed now that albumen Is

tain the young plant until It has be-

CAT AS A SNAKE cHARMER
Pussy'r Fascination OF Deadly Ser
pent Proved But Not Absolutely
Accounted For.

Stories of fascination by snakes are
common. but from India comes ths
opposite In an account OF how cal
may exercise such hypnotic power
over deadly serpent as to deprive
1t of all power Of action.
A gentleman who has lived forty-siz
years, as he says. in India, relates to
writer In the Field that twice his
life has been saved by cat. On one
occasion, he says, ne walked on to
the veranda Of his house and actually
trod on cobra that was sitting up
ready to strike. Expecting every in
stant to feel its fangs, he wondered at
the delay in the deadly stroke, when,
glancing behind him, he saw his cat
crouching and gazing intently at the
reptile with a mesmeric effect, which
seemed TO render it unable to move,
so that he killed 1t easily.
Another time, when sleeping in a
cot on this veranda. he awoke to find
on one side OF the bed a huge cobra,
with head erect, and on the other side
his cat, its glistening green eyes blaz-
ing at the snake. The man crawled
out OF his covering. got a gun, and
even poked at the cobra, which had
remained as lmmovable as a stufIed
specimen, Wishing to test the phe-
nomenon. he placed his hand in front
VI the eyes OF the cat, whereupon the
snake Immediately showed signs OF
life and activity. but when the hand
was removed fell instantly into mes
meric fxity Of attitude. Then II was
killed
Granting the facts. how much was
the effect upon the snake due to hyp
notism, and how much to pafalyzing
fear OF an ancient enemy, rendering
1t forgetful OF everything else in its
intense watchfulness of recognized
danger?

WANT THE BRAND-NEW GOLD
Precious Metal Seek That Which
10 Fresh From the Mint.

An article in which Santa Claus
deals heavily is gold thimbles. Phila-
delphia supplies an enormous number
OF them, one manufacturer being es-
pecially prominent. That city is also
a wedding ring producing center. The
ladies who wear the thimbles and the
brides who get the rings may be in
terested in knowing that large num-
ber of them are made from brand-new
gold coins. The manufacturer does
not want an old gold coin, because
there Is an apprecisble difference in
the amount of metal in new and
an old $40 gold piece. So the ring
and thimble maker. knowing the value
of what appears to be tribes, takes
his check or his paper money to a
bank and gets in exchange the new

been worn off these coins In the
handling.
The money is melted, and that's
where the thimbles and the rings
come from. or at least good many
of them. There seems to be an inn
preston that one may not destroy
United States money. but that is an
error. 1t is unlawful to mutilate a
coin, but you commit no crime when
you utterly destroy either paper
money or metal currency. There is
