OF Confederate Origin.
Torpedo Boat and Submarine
Came to Light in the Con,
federacy.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The torpedo and the submarine, two
agents of destruction now figuring so
extensively in naval warfare, were in
vented by the Confederates. The first
use of the torpedo was made in an ex-
perimental way on the Union boats in
the Potomsc river. in 1861, and the re.
suit was so satisfactory that it was
followed in 1862 by the establishment of
the Torpedo Bureau. in Richmond, un-
der General Rains, and the Submarine
Service, under Captain Maury.
1t was in Charleston harbor that the
torpedo came into its greatest
prominence. Low-fosting boats, of a
type almost identical to the present day
submarine, excepting only that the
craft was not entirelysubmerged, were
equipped with long. slender pole pro-
jecting from the bow, and to the end of
the pole was torpedo. Three Union
gunboats were sunk by these torpedo
boats in Charleston harbor. The sub
marine had its development at Charles
ton, also. The first of the craft sunk
at the wharf through some accident and
the crew was drowned, but other boats
of the same type were built. In one
naval engagement during the Civil
War, a Union gunboat was sunk by a
submarine with torpedo to her nose,
but the pole became fastened in the
hull of the sinking ship and torpedo
boat and crew went to the bottom with
the enemy's craft. These inventions
by Confederate naval engineers were
of type that is considered crude in
comparison to what has been evolved
by the engineers of the present day
with their larger facilities and wider
experience, but the fact remains that
the Confederacy gave to the world the
idea of not only the torpedo AMI the
submarine. but the iron-clad, The
modern submarine boat does not prod
the side of an enemy's ship with a
torpedo-capped nose, but shoots out the
torpedo at long range, and it has
better system of lungs, but all this i'm
movement WAS nointed To nv Confed-
crate genius.
ct is also stated that the floating
mine originated with the ConfederscY.
1t is claimed that Thomas Weldon of
Mississippi invented the first device of
the kind and it was used successfully
on the Yazoo river December 5, 1862,
in the destruction of the Union trans
port Cairo, with lose of nearly 500
lives. Elk.

The most profitable age and condi-
ton for disposing of beef cattle de-
ponds largely upon the character and
value OF the land on which they are
grown. II one has a large area OF
rough grazing land with relatively
small area for the production OF crops,
he will usually find 1t more profitable
to sell his cattle as stockers, or feed
ers, to his neighbor in the valley who
has more feed than the number Of cat
tie he can AFFORD to raise will use. For
this reason, the farmer in the valley
has been able to buy cattle cheaper
than he could raise them, since his
lands are so much higher priced than
the rough grazing lands. The cheaper
lands Of the state do not at present
supply the demand, though they are
not producing near the number OF cat
tie they are capable Of. The yearly in
creasing price OF beef, is causing the
establishment of small herds OF beef
cattle varying from few cows to fifty
or more, on the more profitable farm
ing lands. The need OF cattle is realized
in the keeping up of the soil fertility,
and beef cattle require less at
tention than dairy cattle. Those who
have from three to Ave calves to sell
each year will find it more convenient

YOUR LIVER.
Don't Endanger it With Gallo
mel.

1t is generally agreed by experts in
this country and Europe that cslomel
has a very violent effect on the system.
This accounts for the familiar disagree
able feeling accompanying dose, and
the weakened condition following it.
Liv-Ver-Lax is harmless vegetable
compound, that is mild, but effective
substitute for calomel. 1t has all the
effectiveness, but not the effect, of
calomel. It's splendid value has brought
it into such wide use that in some
states it has almost entirely replaced
calomel.
Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and you'll
never use calomel again. Insist on the
genuine, bearing the likeness and sigma
ture of L. K. Grigsby, which is guar
anteed to give satisfaction or money

.ALFALFA-CLOVER LIME CLUBS.
The Success of the Plan Forces
aChange in the Organization.

Being anxious to demonstrate that
alfalfa can he successfully grown in
any section of West Tennessee, the In
dustrial Department of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Ry., in CO.
operation with the Division of Exten-
zion of the University of Tennessee,
had hoped to give to each of one hun
dred farmers in certain counties, one
ton of limestone dust to be used for this
purpose. However, in undertaking to
formulate specific plars which, would
enable the Division of Extension to
give personal visits and instructions to
each club member, it was found that
these clubs would be too large and
widely scattered.
This forced change of plan bIt has
not changed the amount of limestone to
be furnished each county. The follow
ing has been adopted; Five clubs of
five members each will be formed in
each County, in several widely separated
districts, Each club will have a leader
who must be man willing to carry out
instructions and devote some Of his
time to other members. This leader
will assist in selecting the other four
members of his club. The leaders will
be given full instructions which they
will transmit personally to other club
members. In this way we can assure
the success of the plan and demonstrate
beyond doubt the growing of alfalfa in
your county.
This does not change the amount Of
lime furnished in each county, but
instead of giving one ton to each of one
hundred farms, we will give four tons
to each of the 25 club members. This
amount will be sufficient to lime one
acre for each club member, and will
give him plat large enough to justify
him looking after it.
We regret this change of plan will
necessarily disappoint some, but we
believe it will prove the best for the
county, because it will show beyond
question, that alfalfa can be success
fully grown.
Our wish is to do those things which
will prove most beneficial to your coun-
ty, and after mature consideration, we
believe the plan outlined above is the

at least one-half the blood OF one OF
the standard beef breeds, they can be

they are one year old, or but slightly
older. II less than half breeds, they
must be kept longer and the poorer
