Senate COnyenes;
Impeachment Trial.

The Tennessee Senate convened
Monday at noon, with Chief Justice
Neil presiding to begin the impeach-
ment trial Of Judge Jesse Edgington
Of Memphis. The resignation Of
Edgington had been put into the
hands Of Gov. Rye, but it was said
that the Chief Executive had no
right to except it without the con-
sent of the Senate-the gentleman
trying to resign having no Office to
resign, but being indicted for un-
lawful acts committed while he was
on the bench. Edgington was not
present and was reported III, by DR..
Underwood, his brother-in-law, but
another report said that the depos-
ed judge was able to take part in a
card party in his own home Sunday
night until past midnight.

Wonderful Surgery
On German Soldiers

Remarkable operations are being
performed on German soldiers by
Prof. Wolff at Hermrnnswerder. He
takes away broken and ruined bones
from all parts of the body, from the
skull to the toes and replaces them
by other bones taken from the same
body.
In the case of skull wounds he
has successfully transplanted pieces
Of bone taken from the thigh of the
patient. In one case where a shell
had almost completely destroyed
the thigh bone of a soldier, Prof.
Wolff took 20 centimeters Of bone
from the lower part Of the limb and
by that means completely restored
the whole. Even the calf Of the leg
suffered no permanent harm, for
the missing pieces Of bone grew
again ia a covering of skin which
had been left to assist the process.
In the case Of another patient
who had lost the little knuckle of a
finger Of his right hand the lose was
made good by grating on it the
joint Of one Of the toes. In two
weeks the wound had healed. The
ankle Of another man repaired by
pieces Of bone taken from the thigh.
AT a congress in Berlin Prof.
Wolff exhibited a soldier who had a
finger knuckle replaced by a toe
joint and the toe itself made whole
by a piece Of bone recruited from
the ribs. The finger was perfectly
usabla.
Prof, Wolff is particularly proud
Of his success in forming or reform
ing noses. One soldier who had his
nose shot entirely away, together
with the cartilage, appeared at the
congress to show a new and appar-
emily perfectly natural nose. The
flesh and bone for it had been TAX
en- from the mans thigh, with skin
from his cheek. In ten days the
flesh had adjusted itself to its new
use.

Wilson Nomination
Sure Says Bryan.

1t is now certain that President
Wilson will be renominated by ac-
clamation. No other name will be
presented to the convention. The
platform will endorse his admins
tration and the record made by the
Democratic congress. The differ
ences, such as may exist, between
the President and congress, will be
compromised and the party will
present a united front.
1t is a remarkable record of
achievement, nothing to compare
with 1t in number and Importance
Of reforms accomplished. Where
Republican leaders have been wrong
the President and the Democratic
congress have been right. The Re-
publican leaders have opposed all
that has been done in favor Of low
er tariff rates, an income tax, cur
rency reform and antitrust legisla-
ton. They have insisted on war
with Mexico and even want to en-
ter the European war. Where the
President has conceded more than
he should to the scaredness pro-
gram, the Republican leaders have
demanded even more, so that the
President is nearer to the people
than the Republican, leaders. Let
every Democrat get ready for the
campaign and 90 to work.-W. j.
Bryan.

DECATUR COUNTY

LET US FOLLOW SUIT
Suggestion That Henderson
First Organize Short Horn
Association

The example of Decatur county
in the formation of an organization
to promote the breeding Of Here
fords Cor some other high grade cat
tle) should at once be followed by
this county. Those who recently
purchased pure bred Short Horn
Durham stock, at the sale under the
auspices of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & St. Louis Railroad, led by
Mr.. S. j. Walker, Of Wildersville,
who had already a small herd Of
the same stock, might take the lead
in the matter and soon give Hen
derson county a start in livestock
Improvement which would bring
both pride and profit to our people.
Any breed Of good stock, in either
cattle, hogs, horses or mules, is
cheaper at the start and more prof
liable in the long run than would
be the same number of scrubs with
out money and without price-and
the same fact holds good in poultry.
We want to weed out the scrubs
any number OF which turned into
one pure bred animal, by sale and
re-purchase, will be a good deal.
What Henderson county should
pray for and hustle for, is good
roads, good schools, good stock and
GOOD PEOPLE who look toward
the future with progressive eyes.
Why not each merchant Of the
town Of Lexington buy and give to
some progressive farmer boy a
Hereford, Holstien or Short Horn
calf, or a pure bred Poland China,
Berkshire or Duroc pig? Other
towns have tried the plan with sat
isfaction.

TIMBER AND WASTE LANDS.
HR. S Maddox, Forester for the State Sociological Surrey

Timber and agricultural lands are
two of theState's very important re-
sources. These may suffer from
many causes. but certainly the way
in which much Of the agricultural
land is TILED at present is a most
potent factor, and playing very
strong part, not only in creating
waste land, but also in causing tim
Der loss. If there were an mex
haustible supply Of timber; if there
we're an inexhaustible amount Of
land to clear, there might be some
excuse for this type Of waste. But
vast amount of timber throughout
the State are dependent upon the
cultivated land. How? In this
way. When the titled land, espec.
tally on slopes and hills goes to
waste, more woodlands are stripped
off to fill its place, resulting in less
and less timber. This process Of
improperly handling agricultural
land cuts like two,edged sword, in
two ways. 1t causes timber loss
and waste land.
The system that keeps the land
built up and reclaims the waste
places, helps to maintain the wood
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1916-04-28

lands. Many acres now in timber
will, and should logically be cleared
for farm use, but why hasten that
day by wastingY Why not main
tain cleared land and let the clear
ing Of more land come about natur-
ally through the demand for an in
crease in populationY 1t is a de-
structive method constantly to rob
the farm land. AS a natural result
it goes to waste and to eullies. This
method makes the woodlands pay
the penalty by cutting off the tim
ber, and then subject them to the
same wasteful treatment that the
Others underwent. This will never
develop these two resources of the
State.
Why not change aroundY Every
farmer is a producer so long as he
maintains his soil for continuous
production He is not a producer
if he simply takes something from
his soil Therefore let him reclaim
the waste areas, build up the land
for agriculture, and prevent erosion.
Thus he maintains the farm land
and prolongs the decreasing forests.

Diversified Farming
In Carroll County,

That experience is the best teach
er is proven every day to those who
are fair enough with themselves to
look around.
In 1914 Carroll county planted
the largest cotton acreage it ever
planted and met a severe drouth
that summer and the lowest price
in the fall known in this country for
ten years. Naturally with that big
cotton acreage the farmers could
plant but little else so that year
very few made enough corn to do
them and had practically no meat
as well as little garden stuff. In
1915 they were more careful, plant
ing the smallest cotton acreage
known in years. Naturally that
year was a hard one ON the farmers
as we'll as merchants for great
many cut out cotton entirely.
In looking over the situation this
spring one sees things are quite diff
ferent Instead Of planting all corn
or all cotton Mr.. Farmer is planting
a little Of everything. He began
with good sized garden, with plen-
ty Of chickens, pigs, etc, and is now
into the main field crops planting
cotton, corn, hay, oats, etc, just like
he had been drilled in diversified
ton for years. The result is Mr..
Farmer will not need so much cred
it this year, will live well at home
and when fall comes will have his
own meat and bread as well as
enough cotton money to pay up his
accounts. 1t took a hard year like
1914 to get diversifcation into MIR.
Farmers head right but It is there
now and we venture that it will
stay there no matter how alluring
the prospects for the one-crop prop
osition become. Carroll County

EXPERTS
IN LEXINGTON THURSDAY

Nunnelly's, Waverly, Denver and
Camden Much interest was mani
tested at all stops and it is believed
much good will be accomplished by
reason Of the tour and the spirit Of
cooperation shown by the farmers
and peanut growers in the work.
The manufacture Of peanut oil
and the probability Of the estab-
lishment Of a mill for its manufac-
ture in the peanut section has stim-
ulated interest considerably in the
campaign, bit the growers were told
that without the proper fertilization
and the prevention Of soil-robbing,
by the introduction Of a soil-build-
ing rotation Of crops the growing Of
eanuts'would be Of very little ad-
vantage.
At Parsons the speakers were ac-
corded a respectful hearing, as they
were at other stops made and much

ticket to the Red Cross ball, to be
held at the armory Friday night.
Also, the opportunities for an evening
Of enjoyment on that occasion are
unlimited.
SO much has already been written

needless repetition. 1t Is only neces-

fact that the present appeal for funds
is one which comes close TO home
