BDONE'S "BAI," TREE
Is FELI.ED BY ELEMENTS

The historic beech tree, known as
the Boone Tree" on which Daniel
Boone, the famous pioneer American
hunter, carved the information that
he had killed Z bear, has at last
yielded to the elements. This tree
was blown down by fierce wind
and split in two, so that the historic
inscription in its bark, which read
ID. Boone cilled bar on tree in
year, 1860" is severed.
This tree occupied a picturesque
position in Washington county, East
Tennessee, five miles northwest OF
the historic old capital town of
Jonesboro. The territory referred
to was at the time a part of North
Carolina, but was later embraced in
the short-lived State of Franklin.
1t is stated that the John Sewer
Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution is now devils
ing plans to preserve that section of
the tree bearing the inscription. The
land and the tree are properties of
Lafayette Isley, a farmer.

Concerning the killing of Town
Marshal Reach at Dawson Springs,
an account of which appears on the
9Th page of The Herald to-day. the
Dawson Tribune says:
THE killing of Marshal Reach is
nothing but bold frame-up from
start to finish by a low-down gang
of assassins and law-breakers, whose
hatred and enmity the Chief had in
Cured by being brave, fearless Off
Ger who did his full duty, thereby
making it very warm for the outlaw
clan. Every decent and iaw-abiding
citizen of this city knows exactly,
or believes, that the killing of Mr..
Reach is the result of a premeditat-
ed and diabolical conspiracy, which
makes the blacklist chapter in the
entire city's history, and ore that
the good people should exercise ev-
cry precaution to vindicate."
This is just another dark chapter,
many times written in the history
of communities where blind tigers
and other lawbreakers are allowed
to get a foothold. They serve as
warnings to suppress the law viola
tors before tragedies occur.

early in May, President Wilson first
enunciated the slogan America

Roosevelt a week later and by Mr..
Hughes about month later. Since
then. however, the term has entered
a modified symbolism in the term
"Americanism, which is a mere
synonym of the first expression. 1t

is no loyal American who does not
believe in Americanism in all that
the word implies, Mr.. Hughes to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

Never before in the history of this
country has so much been accom-
plished i'm so short length of time
as has been done by the present ma
tional administration. Democracy
las kept the faith and done even
more than it promised, in the inter
est Of the whole people. The Fed
eral Reserve tct, which precludes
the possibility OF another financial
panic; the Underwood Tariff Bill,
which is the mos; equitable ana sat
isfaCtory ever adopted, even under
trying war conditions, are two wor-
thy measures among number, due
to Democratic foresight and action.
The country is prosperous and is
destined to remain so under its pres
ent management.

In these days Of heightened pros
ptrity a money panic is seldom
thought of, but nevertheless these
have been occurrences of the past
in very pronounced form. There
have been three panics since 1876.
They We're as follows: In 1893,
Grover Cleveland, President; in
1897, William Mckinley, President;
in 1907, Theodore Roosevelt, Presi-

Since the recent enactment of the

ability and hardly Il possibility Of
the occurrence of a financial panic

At almost every meeting of the
Kentucky Press Association il is ev-
ident that a considerable number Of
Kentucky newspaper men do not at
tend it's sessions regularly nor are
their papers included in the mem
bership of the Association. This is
not as il should be. Every news
paper in Kentucky ought to be a
member of the X. =. A. and all edi-
tors should attend its sessions IL at
all possible. The program should
be arranged so as to include moth
ing but matters pertaining to the
newspaper business-the more

sions should be devoted exclusively
to newspaper propaganda in all its

PTogressives throughout Ken
lucky and the Nation are rising up
IN their indignation and protesting
against the plan OF Col. Roosevelt
and his few followers to pick them
up body, soul and britches. and
throw them over into the Republic

are standing for a principle and say
they will still stand, regardless of
their attempted betrayal and sell

gressive party was worth formation,
ii is worth standing for its rights,
regardless of the attempts of some
Ct its erstwhile leaders to abolish it.

Wees during our sad bereave-
ment attending the sudden death
OF our companion and father,
Thos. Moreland, we wish to ex-
press our sincere appreciation
and heartfelt thanks.
We can never forget the kind

we were away, and the people of
Pennington who rendered every
assistance in their power.
10 you, who have offered words

clouds of sorrow.
We feel that the death angel
has taken from Us our dearest

The old capitol is now undergoing

will not be materially changed by
the date of the association, SO that
visitors may yet see it as it stood
when such patriotic MISSISSIPPI
plans as George, Lamar and Wal
thaIl were making history.
The city schools Of jackson are
now preparing to give for the en-
tcrtainmeHt of visiting teachers
a May festival including the May
pole dance, and numerous other
numbers to be participated in by
twelve or fifteen hundle ed child
ren. There will be an abundance
of varied entertainment and no
one is expected to be found want
ing amusement while here.
There is a signal advantage in
becoming acquainted with the
teachers of the state. No other
occasion offers greater oppor-
tWnity for this than the State
Teachers Association. In addi-
ton to all aforesaid, the main
program consisting of discussions
Of the many perpleXing school
problems by prominent school
men; the eXpomding Of modern
school doctrines and progressive
ideas by men of recognized abil-
itv, and lectures on various phases
Of the school and it's field. should
furnish something of interest to
each visiting teacher.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Arrangements
are being made today for the funeral
of Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate
justice of the supreme court, who died
at his home here last night Of gradual
heart failure. Following custom, the
court after meeting today, adjourned
Immediately in respect to the memory
of the late justice.
The burial will be at Augusta, Ca,
for many years the home Of the late
justice. The funeral party, which
probably will include his associates
on the supreme bench, will start for
Augusta Tuesday afternoon.
1t was believed here today that be-
cause of the important cases now
awaiting consideration before a full
court, President Wilson will make an
appointment at once to fill the vacancy
caused by Justice Lamar's death. Last
fall when Justice Lamar's health be-
came impaired and when a movement
was started to retire him on full pay,
Secretary Of Interior Lane and Solicit
tor General John W. Davis were men
toned as his possible successor.
Messages Of coincidence reached the
Lamar home today from all parts Of
the country.
Mr.. Lamar suffered the stroke of
paralysis while passing his vacation
at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va He
was brought to Washington few
days before the supreme court con-
| vened, in October. He was unable to
| take his place on the bench and his
friends had virtually decided to ask
congress to retire him upon full pay
| The justice, who was IS years old
had not been in robust health for many
years. He resigned from the supreme
court of Georgia, his native state, in
1905, because of i'll health.
Mr.. Lamar was appointed to the
United States supreme court by Presi-
dent Taft.
