TENNESSEE WANTS GUN
ONCE OWNED BY BOONE,

The Tennessee Historical society is
eager to acquire I'D. Boone's Tn
Fren," the gun with which Daniel
killed many Indians during frontier
days. A letter, M e. Quaife, super
intendent of the Wisconsin Historical
society announces, has been received
from D. R. Haworth, superintendent
of schOls in Johnson City, Tenn,
asking for picture of the gun and
suggesting the gun itself be turned
over to that state, "as its historical
value is much more important to Ten
nessee than to Wisconsin"
The gun was presented to Wiscon-
sin by Assemblyman j. L. Grindell. 1t
was owned for many years by C. w.
Rafter, one of the victims of the re-
cent Platteville explosion. Mr.. Haw-
orth wrote further:
1T was within eight miles of John
son City that Daniel Boone killed a
bear in 1860. The tree stood till two
years ago. Older people recall the
distinct words, I'D. Boone cilled a Bar
on trEE in YEAR 1900" 1t is evident
that it was the same rifle you have
that Boone used in killing the bear,
and we would like very much to have
good picture of the gun, showing
the words and notches supposed to
represent number of Indians killed.

Tablet Shows Where
Sherman Shell Fell

ATLANTA, Nov. 8. -Marking the
spot where. Yankee shell exploded
in the streets of Atlanta during the
seige of the city by Sherman's army
a memorial tablet was unveiled
last week by the Old Guard, a
noted organization here, and the
daughter of the Confederacy. The
tablet is placed on the old iron lamp
post at the intersection of Alabama
and Whitehall streets, in the heart
of the shopping district. There is a
hole in the base of the post where a
shell splinter passed entirely through
the metal and killed a negro barber
named Luckie who operated a shop
where the Atlanta National Bank
now stands.
The old lamp post is one of the
historic relics in Atlanta to remind
the present generation of the strug-
gle of the sixties, when the city was
devastated by Sherman's army. The
memorial tablet is one of several that
will be erected at various points of
historic interest in and around At
lanta. Two tablets were unveiled
few weeks ago out on Peachtree
street marking the spots where nota-
bic events occurred during the bat
tie of Atlanta.

remedy IS to grind up all the stalks,
say the representatives of the De-
partment of Agriculture. This means.
OF course, that carefully selected seed
cane must be brought from other re-
glons for replanting. There is still
an abundance of healthy stock in
LOUISIANA and the other cane states.
SO That the industry should not Sc
rlously suffer from these attempts at
eradication. Where the disease has
!io' OBTAINED a strong foothold, rogu-
ing IS recommended. This consists
OF pulling up infected plants, root.
stem and branch, and throwing them
down between the rows. AS soon as
the plants wilt they are no longer
dangerous as source Infection. In
damp regions, however, care must be
taken to gather up these plants and
Durn them or otherwise destroy them,
lest while lying on the ground. thew
sprout and 50 spread the disease.
A considerable section of Louisiana
constitutes the chief infected area,
out IN addition there are regions in
Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
slsslppi in which the disease has ap-
peared, There still are large num-
Der, of cane areas not yet infected.
These include the entire Bayou Teche
district and the parishes to the north
IN Louisiana, consisting of ST. Mary,
Iberia, Vermilion, Lafayette, St. Mar
ton, Acadia, st. Landry, Avoyelles
and Rapides. Other similar areas
are the entire state of Mississippi,
with the exception of Biloxi; the
whole of Alabama, except small To-
cality close to the state line, near
Muscogee, Fla; the whole of Georgia,
except Grady county, and the whole
state of Florida, except certain limited

u. S. TELLS HOW
TO FIGHT SUGAR
CANE INFECTION

The United States Department of
Agriculture is issuing a bulletine con-
tanning several colored plates illus
trating the mosaic disease of subar
cane, which should enable those in
terested in this disease of cane to
identify it. The mosaic disease of
sugar cane which has been known
for several years in a number of
other cane countries has recently been
found in the southern United States.
While this disease is quite widespread
in the states, there are many disease
free areas from which clean seed NAV
be obtained.
The mosaic disease which has done
considerable damage to the cane crop
in Porto Rico and some other cane
countries is one of the most serious
maladies that has confronted cane
growers in recent years, and if I'M
checked may do incalculable damage
to the great cane-growing sections of
the South. The measures Of control
now being taken by the federal au-
thorities in cooperation with various
local agencies were preceded by a
complete survey of the Southern
states undertaken to ascertain the ex-
tent of the infected areas.
In badly diseased fields the only

curiosity.

perfectly lovely new baby grand
piano, and some other articles Of
furniture.

ing my arm in his. "a fairy has been

He led me into the library without
replying. The room had been en-
tirely renovated. New bookcases,
which he had long said he needed,
lined the sides of the room, while
above them were few good etchings,
nothing else. All the pictures had
been replaced by the etchings. For a
moment l looked around scarcely
realizing what made the room so
strange. Then it dawned upon me!

Where the disease is present in
small amount and in few well-defn-
ed areas, as in Mississippi, Alabama
and Florida, the possibility of quick
md complete eradication exists. The
cane in these areas should be all
ground during the present harvesting
season and the stubble plowed up.
As a further precaution some crop
other than grass should be grown on

The land for one year, after which
cane may be grown again with safety
The two small infested areas in Ala
bama and Mississippi offer no Difficult
ty whatever, as the disease can be
stamped out with practically no loss
to the owners, and the assurance of
healthy crops in the future more than
offsets the inconvenience of growing
some other crop on the land now oc-
cupied by infected cane. In Florida
the state plant board is in a position
to act speedily and effectively.
1t is difficult to describe the ap-
Dearance of sugar-cane mosaic YER
bally and this is one of the reasons
why the federal authorities are using
bulletin with colored illustrations.
By means of this bulletin anyone can
readily ascertain the exact appearance
of infected plants. This disease is
infectious chlorosis, similar in many
respects to the mosaic disease of to-
bacco, cucumber, bean, tomato, and
potato. Scientists have come to the
conclusion that some virus is respon-
sible for the appearance of all new
cases, and that the only source of in
lection is some other infected plant
Experiments in Porto Rico and else
where have repeatedly demonstrated
lat cuttings from infected stalks will
invariably give rise to infected plants.
The shoots seem to be notified as soon
as they appear. Therefore, the use
of diseased stalks for planting results
in a wider distribution Of the disease
and insures the survival of the virus
even in the absence of secondary in
fections. 80

French F7iS Journalists
Thank Americans for
Fight on Censorship

PARIS, Jan 10 (By The Associated
Press) Representative of the Amer
lean and British press to-day in the
Chamber of Deputies met the repre-
sentaives of the syndicate of "the
French democratic press" which is
composed mostly of Socialists and
other opposition newspapers. The
French newspaper men thanked the
American Journalists for their attitude
on the question Of publicity at the
proceedings of the peace conference,
and declared that the regulations of
tne conference as published were un-
acceptable to them
The French journalists also said they
favored complete abolition of the cen
sorship for France, as we'll as for the
United States and Great Britain, and
freedom to confer with the delegates
10 the peace conference, and also that
they desired open sessions of the con-
ference and the admission Of at least
one representative for each newspaper.
An effort will be made to call a
fuller conference of the representa-
tives of the press of all nations. The
Socialist newspaper men day dis
avowed the expressions of the other
French journalists against open ses-
Sions of the conference. They said
hey were not present at the previous
conference Of the Journalists. because
they had not been invited or informed
that such a meeting was to be held.
