DEFENDS ACTS OF TURKS.
Count Won Bernstorff Sends Com
muuication to State DEPARTMENT.

Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, has sent a communication
to the State Department stating that
the reports of Turkish atrocities
against Armenians were greatly ex-
aggerated and defending in part the
action of the Turks as having been pro-
voked.
While the ambassadors letter does
not deny that extreme penalties have
been imposed on Armenians by the
Turks, 1t is stated that attempts to
stir up rebellion and revolt and trea-
sonable activity has made the Ar
measure.
Since Turkey has let it be known
that no foreign interference with her
Armenian policy will be permitted, the
United States will probably avoid the
matter as a subject for any formal
protest, unless Americans become in

From The Department of
Agriculture.

According to a statement just ISSUED
by the Tennessee Department of Agri
culture the statute specifically relating
to the sale of agricultural seeds is being
fiagrantly violated in different parts Of
the state by dealers who are selling
seed without the inspection tags and
stsmps required by law to be affixed,
and for which there is penalty OF
800 90 for failure 20 do so.
In order that this law may be en-.
forced the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture has asked the cooperation of the
farmers and planters. As they bear
the expense of carrying out the pro-
visions of the law they are entitled,
therefore, to its benefits. They are
paying for guarantee of purity and
termination Of seeds. BY little care
and attention and cooperation they
will be certain to get what they are
paying for.

The Falcon under its present manage
ment has steadfastly opposed the
pardOning power and its exercise by
any one official, and the longer we live
and the more we see of its exercise
the stronger we are in believing that nc
one man should have lodged in him the
power to change the verdict of a court
and jury who sit in judgement and
hear the testimony in any case before
it. Most egregious mistakes have been
made in the use of this power by gov
errors of this state and the present
governor is not much more free of
criticism than his predecessors.

The Falcon had occasion recently to
communicate with party at Williston
and wrote Monday, mailing the letter
on the two o'clock train that day.
Tho Williston is but six miles from
Somerville the answer to this letter
was not received in Somerville until
Thursday afternoon, being answered as
it was. as soon as could be after its
receipt. This is bad situation for two
neighboring towns and is one that
should be remedied. And it could be
done so easily by extending Route 4
out of this city and furnishing locked
pouch for the Williston Office. The
mail from here to that place now goes
to Memphis and out over the Southern
railway, there being but one mail re-
ceived there each day. A letter can
not be sent and an answer received be-
tween these points in less than two or
three days, and If the change suggested
were made it could be done in one day.

pixies there, thus giving by that route
one of the best ways from this city to
Memphis. The workhouse gang built,
some two years ago, the old stage road
from here to the Shelby county line
near Eads and put it in excellenet con-
dition, with the exception of the bot
tom just this side of that place. But it
is a matter of serious regret that con.

the standard set for it by the work

is now, nothing like as good as it was

roads is growing and Fayette county

The real fight for the United States
senatorship from this state started
Sunday when the papers published the
announcement of Thetis W. Sims and
the statement of Senator Lea that he
had cast his hat in the ring. Mr.. Pat
terson has declared his plans not COM
pleted to make the race but nobody
doubts his determination to run. And
the water looks good to several others
who are standing on the brink of the
lake of running, with bees buzzing all
about them. The fight does not pres
ent any bright future for the smooth
sailing of democracy with these three
and other prospectives in the fight.

raise at home feeds, meats, milk and

ready to lament the conditions of the
coming fall when they predict a lew
price for the south's cotton crop and
bankruptcy for her people. The truth
of the m after is the south is in better
condition than she was a year ago by
by half. Then she had just made one
of the most expensive crops in her
history. Borrowing farmers. both
white and black, had grown to DE-
MAND things of supply men and those
things were granted. far beyond any
reason. They had no feeds for their
families or their stock and these must
be furnished by supply men. Where
negroes had been satisfied to walk to
church on Sunday in former years they
had grown to demand good horses and
good buggies, and they got them. often
at the expense of the land owner or sup
ply man, but they got them just the same.

started it was the distinct understand

There is little doubt that the present
crop has been made more eheaply than
any other for ten years, and the lesson
will be valuable one. We have all
