What can be done in this section with
small bunch of hogs is shown by the
record made the past year by DR.. A. o.
3oals on his small lot in this city where
every bite Of feed given had to be pur-
chased at market price. Last March
Dr.. Boals bought four pigs for which
he gave $40. A female in the lot gave
him five pigs in August and two more
few weeks ago, during January, The
other three of the original lot were
killed in December and weighed little
over thousand pounds. The FIVE
August pigs and their mother are to
be killed during February and DR..
Boals confidently believes be will get q
thousand pounds Of meat from them.
He will then have the two small pigs
left. That is he will get 1000 pounds
Of meat and the two pigs from his $40
investment, together with more lard
than his family can consume in the
year. He has fed $50 dollars worth
Of feed during the year. He estimates
the meat and lard at s24O and when the
feed bill is deducted he has $3.50 left
for his profits. Any farmer in the
county can do as well If he will.

The Somerville accommodation on the

out of this city Tuesday morning, the
trouble being blocked track just be-

The Reliance Cotton company Of
Memphis, which owns the gin on North
Main street in Somerville which had
been operated for number of years
by ]. G. Knox, filed q voluntary petit
tion in bankruptcy in Memphis this
week with assets far exceeding its
liabilities. The concern was owned en-
tirely by Memphis parties with B. B.
Harvey as president, and final DISPOSE

be conjectured at this time.

nearby town describing Roberts and
asking that if seen be held for officers

and the proper thing to do and it goes
to show one more case where George
Terry is exactly the right kind of fell

sition he holds among us, and we be-
lieve the Falcon is voicing the senti-

W. M. Mayo and W. T. Loggins of
this CITY have bought the Collierville
News from S. G. Sparks and the first
issue under the new management will
be sent out today. W. N. Wear who
was employed in The Falcon office for
year or more about 1907 will be in
charge of this business of the News.
Mr., Sparks will move in a few days
from Colliervile to Luke, Mississippi,
where he and his son, Robert, will con-
duct the Vidette, thorogoing weekly
paper of that city. This removes from
Tennessee newspaperdom one of it's
Oldest landmarks. Mr.. Sparks entered
the newspaper business in Somerville
soon after the close of the war, and
with exception of few months con-
tinued in that service until he sold The
Falcon in 1907 and moved to Memphis.
But the printers ink had touched his
hands and he was so inoculated with
the printers virus that he had toreturn
to the work two years ago when he
began publishing the Collierville News.
He goes now to an entirely new field
where he carries with, him the very best
wishes Of The Falcon and hundreds Of
other Somerville friends.

Cough Medicine for Children

Never give child cough medicine

opium is given other and more serious
diseases may follow. Long experience

Henry drew a pistol and began shoot
ing, one shot taking effect In the
sheriff's mouth and making a painful
wound, another passing thru the chest,
guing just beneath the skin and not
quite penetrating the thoracic cavity.
One shot struck Mr.. Dobbins in tho
throat and he fell completely paralysed
from his horse, he not having dismount-
ed when the shooting took place. W.
s. Latta and Bob Skinner heard the
shooting and hurried to the scene and
secured buggies and brought the wound
ed men to town and from here they
were carried to Memphis that night for
operations.
Roberts escaped after the shooting
and has succeeded in evsding the posses
which have secured the vicinity of the
shooting for him. Blood hounds were
brought here Tuesday night and fol-
lowed his trail to the home of Jim
Heathcock deceased where they lost
the trail and it was thought that
Roberts secured a horse there which be
used in getting out Of the way. The
Heathcocks, who are relatives Of the
Roberts. declared they had not seen
Roberts and had lent no help to his
escape.

The State Must Protect PhlIadeIphia

TIME decision of the Interstate Commerce
u Commission ordering reductions in
anthracite coal rates causes at once an
intolerable situation.
The decision while ordering reductions
from Pennsylvania coal fields to competing
ports outside of Pennsylvania, does not
touch on rates from the same coal fields to
the chief port in Pennsylvania. Philadel-
phia, in other words, because 1t is in the
same state as the coal fields is subject to
rates approved by the State, over which the
Interstate Commerce Commission has no
jurisdiction.
1t is obvious that immediate steps must
be taken to make effective the intrastate
rates recently ordered by the Public Service
Commission which are now held up by legal
proceedings. Philadelphia will be severely
penalized II the new Interstate rates are
operative before the new intrastate rates
are in effect.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has
made the actual reduction of intrastate
anthracite coal rates in Pennsylvania an
absolute necessity thus justifying the
orders OF the Public Service Commission,
and delay in the courts will be intolerable.

STORY TELLING

Most every night whep they're in bed,
And both their little prayers have said.
They shout for me to come upstairs
And tell them tales of grizzly bears
And Indians and gypsies bold,
And eagles with claws that hold
A babys weight, and fairy sprites
That roam the woods on starry nights
And must illustrate these tales.
Must initiate the northern gales
That toss the Indians canoe
And show the way he paddles too
II in the story comes a bear
l have to pause and snf the air
And show the way he climbs the trees
To steal the honey from the bees
And then buzz like angry bees
And sting him on his nose and knees
And howl In pain, tin mother cries:
'That pair viii never shut their eyes
While all that noise up there you make
You're simply keeping them awake"
And then they whisper: Just one more"
And once again Pm forced to roar.
New stories every night they ask,
And that is not an easy task
/ have to be so many things:
Ihe trog that eroaks, the lark that sings,
The cunning fox, the frightened hen;
But just last night they stumped me- when
Ihey wanted me to twist and squirm
And initiate an angleworm
At last they tumble Off to sleep.
Ana softly from their room I creep,
ana brush and comb the shock OF hair
tossed about TO be a bear.
Then mother says We'll / should say
you're Just as much a child as they"
BUT you can bet TN not resign
That storytelling Job OF mine

Burying Smith

DURYING Smith in the Public Service
- Commission may be a better thing for
the State than catapulting him into the
Mayors seat though there is no good rem
son to believe that a dilemma existed. Yet
il Is evident that the Wares think they have
played shrewd politics. More than once the
Governor has appeared to play the poll
ticians' game, only to have II appear in the
final result that he was using the politicians
Instead Of the politicians using him. 1t may
be, too, that Smith knows as much about the
duties Of Public Service Commissioner as
some OF the others. At any rate one thing
Is eertain-most Philadephians would be
better pleased with Commissioner Smith
than with Mayor Smith.

depths and detect the first subterranean
rumhngs of a volcanic outbreak. The re-
suits of that experience during the 1906
eruption saved the Japanese thousands OF
dollars when eight years later Mt. Saku-
rashima tore loose. A study of the fresh
and dead lava pourned out by Vesuvius taken
with other observations, proved to Perret
that eruptions have periods of varying in
tensity which follow regular cycles and
which can be foretold with sufficient ac-
curacy to warn those in danger. This in
formation, put at the disposal of the resi-
dents of volcanic lands, will save millions in
money and lives.
Ashes Good for the Soil
1t was when Sakurashima began it's last
eruption that Perret proved to the Japanese
that lava instead Of blightlng the land was
really a fertilizer. When the eruption be-
gan Perret was in Naples. He had planned
to return to America by the English route,
but a new volcano presented such an oppor-
tunity for study that Perret changed his
plans and headed straight for Japan. When
he arrived the worst was over, but Perret
risked his life by climbing to within a few
hundred feet of the crater AS result of
his Investigations he showed that even an
active volcano is comparatively safe in the
morning and afternoon and most dangerous
at noon and midnight this being due to the
change in the barometric pressure
The Japanese remember Perret with kindly
regard for his proof that the layer of lava
dust which covered the orchards in the neigh
borhood Of the volcano uld not endanger
their fruit. When they asked Perret how to
rid their fields Of the ashes he advised them
that they be left alone, on the theory that
the acidity of the ashes would disappear in
ten days and that the ashes would then act
as fertilizer That is what happened for
the orchards thought to be ruined brought
forth phenomenal crop.
Perret's fame as a volcano prophet was
further enhanced when he told the Japanese
correctly how soon 1t would be safe for them
to return to their homes. He took a sample
Of the fresh ashes, mixed It into water and
then dipped piece OF blue litmus paper in IT
1t turned red, showing the presence OF
live lava, from which evidence followed
the conclusion that the eruption would con-
tnue until the examination of lava dis
closed particles of old lava crust. Perrets
prophecy proved to be true, and now he ia
a prophet among the Japanese.

Eventually Philadelphia will have a systen
OF collecting sewers along the banks of thA

works so as to care for the sewage OF tbe

Bring Forth a Man

| U1HERE are more good Republicans thar
lbad Republicans in Philadelphia. Thirty
| per cent. OF the capital stock will often con
troll a great railroad. Control OF less than
80 per cent of the electorate often hands a
city over shaclled to political boss or COM
bination OF bosses.
II has been demonstrated more than once
that no boss is so powerful. no organization
so intrenched that the people cannot over
throw IT, Government and party are in their
hands. They can do with either as they
will.
Congressman Moore is convinced that
Republican victory In the municipal election
is necessary. 1t would, he thinks, inspire
the G. o. p. throughout the nation and ma
terialy aid in the rehabilitation Of the party
He may be right and he may be wrong. It
depends on what the rank and file do. a
mere victory Of the bosses would not be in
spring to anybody except the plum gath
erers
But let the men who will not be bossed,
let the good Republicans nominate an unfet-
tered candidate; let them flock to him in
the primary let them wrest control from the
contractors and recover 1t for their own use;
let them show to the nation not a nominal,
but real Republican victory, and there
need be no fear whatever about the nation
wide good that will result,
Why assume that whoever tho bosses want
will be nominated in the Republican pri-
mary? Men OF spirit never adopt so pusil-
luminous an attitude. Better to fight and be
whipped than not to fight at all. Better to
make a stand than to yield without blow.
Better to meet the contractors in their own |
stronghold and smoke them out, hamstring
gently until they have strengthened their
iefenses and all but succeeded in their con-
.emplated pilage of the town.
Consider the scores of eminent citizens,
men of mark who have achieved success in
he fierce competition of business, men of
,rains men of independence, who are avail
lble as Republican candidates. Consider on
he other side the coterie of political oppor-
ect puppot. There are a score OF cham
lions to lead a fight in the primary. To lead
t militanty is to win it. Courage to dare,
nthusiasm for the right, devotion to IDEALS
inspired opposition to the prostitution of the
.reat party that saved the Union and may
,e called on again to save it economically
mighty purpose to wrench party control
ut of selfish hands-oh, there is a fight
,orth making there are things worth bat
ling for, there are colors under which any
nan can proudly unsheathe his sword!
Give Philadelphia real Republican to
ote for, and an invincible army of voters
I'LL back him from primary to election, and
rom election to the last day of his term of
flee.
