COLLEGE SITE SELECTED

When the Southwestern Presby.
terrain University is removed from
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, to Memphis, the
new college buildings will occupy a
site on North Parkway facing Over
ton Park. Decision to purchase this
property as the site of the college
was reached Monday afternoon at d
conference of the special committee
oil three appointed by the four synods
which own and control the institu-
ton. The members Of this commit
tee, Dr.. James I. Vance, Of Nashville;
DR.. Charles Diehl, Of GAINESVILLE,
president Of the university, and Dr..
Joseph Renni, Of Greenwood, Miss,
went to Memphis Monday to confer
with members of the local committee
n charge Of the campaign to bring
the college to Memphis.
The site selected Is a tract Of 100
acres, all Of which is within the city
limits Of Memphis, thus being pro-
yided with fire and poliee protection.
There Is q 24-inch sewer main on the
property, which IL also provided
with artesian water from the city's
waterworks system. The fact that
the site is within the city limits, is
easily accessible and located in a
high-class residence section, facing
the most beautiful Of the Memphis
parks, were among the reasons given
why this site was chosen rather than
either of the others under considera-
ton.
The nearness Of the Louisville 81
Nashville Railroad track will Be an
advantage both during the period
when the college buildings are under
construction and later when the in-
stitution opens its doors for students
from a wide territory surrounding
Memphis The Raleigh Springs ana
Binghamton cars are the onlv ones
that now pass the COLLEGE site. How
ever, the Speedway car line extends
to Jackson avenue and Mclean boule-
ward and d street will be opened and
a right-of-wav secured SO that this
line may pass the college grounds,
according to members Of the commit
tee.
campaigns TOR funds to carry out
the programme involved in the trans
fer of the institution are now in
progress in all four synods. The
100000 REQUIRED Of Memnhis before
the location Of the college there could
be assured has been pledged, and d
large part Of the first installment
has been raid. It now remains for
the S1,000000 promised by the
synods to be secured.

CROPS I'M GOOD CONDITION

The farmers Of the county are busy
in their crops that now bid fair to
make a normal yield after having
passed through the handicaps Of an
unusually late spring. Cotton is up
to a good stand in most cases
and the corn crop looks good. With
rain in the near future, conditions
will be favorable for an abundant
yield from almost every crop.
The general farm crops are not
the only branches of farm activity
that are steadily improving The
number of farmers shipping cream to
market regularly has been increased
to 10, and though prices are low, the
steady income every week is mighty
pleasing to those engaged in the bust
ness. The campaign that will be put
on in July, with meetings in every
community where dairying is prac-
ticaI, will no doubt add many to the
ranks Of the dairymen. These meet
ings will be conducted by practical
dairymen, who will use motion pic
ture machine to show the different
methods employed III the business,
and the individual farmers problems
will be discussed.
A good acreage is being set to
sweet potatoes this year. "A good
lesson III the setting out Of sweet
potatoes in dry weather can be learn
ed from the foreigners who come to
our cheap lands and raise truck. We
had occasion to watch some italian
truck growers at work few days
ago, They had prepared their ground
until it was perfectly pulverized
and the potato slips were set late in
the evening and watered. A few
rows were put out in this manner
every evening ard by this method a
perfect stand was secured, If rain
comes before the planting Is complet-
ed, the beds are worked over again
and the setting is done throughout
the day, as there is plenty Of mois-
tuTe h the ground to start the plant
growing. The secret Of securing
stand Of sweet potatoes is in The
proper preparation Of the seed bed
and the plants set properly.

dr. VIII j. Bond, formerly Of Ida-

munity at large.
Mr.. Bonds health had not been
good for several months past, but no
one was apprehensiYe that the end
of his life was So near. Though COM
planning a good deal Of the time, he
persistently kept at his work, either
on his. farm or in his shop. Last
week he was IN his shop most Of the
time from Monday afternoon until
Thursday night, intending to come
back to it Friday, but that morning
he looked over his crop, and not feel
ing right well, he laid down about 9
o'clock. thinking he would be able to

late Thomas Fleming, near Bolton,
where he learned his trade as shop
man, and learned it well, and fol-
lowed it the greater part Of his life.
AS a workman in both wood and iron
for general country and farm work,
he could not be excelled.
1t was said at his funeral, without
fear of contradiction, that The was
never known To turn out a bad piece
OF work; it mattered not how diff
cult or tedious it was, he worked at
it until he got it all right" This was
characteristic Of any work done by
him on his farm or around his home.
He was workman who needed not to
be ashamed.
In early life MIR. Bond was married
to Mrs. Rosa Johnson Strong, who,
with seven children-four sons and
three daughters survive him. The
sons are; Dewitt, in the United
States Army; Wyman, Of Memphis;
Leon and Edward, with their mother.

her mother.
For number Of years Mr.. Bond
was member Of Salem church,
where funeral services were held
Saturday afternoon, conducted BY his
pastor, Rev. G. B. Belts, assisted BY
Rev. J. L. Boyd, of Brighton. A large
concourse Of people from the sur
rounding country and some from
Shelby county and Memphis, attended

high esteem as a friend and neigh

SCHEDULES

A meeting Of House Republicans
was called Tuesday for June / to
consider the Longworth resolution
which would authorize TIE wa7s and

duties aroposel in the permanent
TARIFF bill effective Immediately upon
its Introduction.
Decision to place the question be-
fore TIE full rartv Premiership was

II was felt the issue was too impor-
tant q be determined by seven men.
Under House rules, the resolution
could be BROUGHT up On the floor at
any tire. THROUGH privileged status
given all legislation involving reve-
nues.
There has been no intimation from
members generally as to their atti-
tude toward the question, although
reports have been current that some
party exposition to the measure was
To be expected. Republican leaders
say thew took it for granted that
Democrats would line up almost
solidly against the resolution.
Representative Young, Republican,
North Dakota, 4 member Of tile ways
and means committee, who voted
against reporting the resolution, has
come elit openly IN opposition to it.
He says he wants his party to find
out If the seven million Republican
majority last November was q man

sively high tariff rates.
In presenting the resolution, Mr..
Longworth, speaking for the commit
tee, declared that, as it would take
considerable time to PASS the tariff
bin, the country meanwhile would be
flooded with foreign rroducts, carer

made effective.

Napoleon Defeated 10 to 0 in Game
With Locals. Petris's Double
/. With Three on Starts Ball in
Third Inning. Napoleon Plays
Ragged Ball.

A good-sized crowd watched one
sided contest Sunday at Seeman
Park when Linton defeated Ma
,poleon by a score of 10 to 0. Both
teams were strengthened up for the
! occasion and considerable money
changed hands. Napoleon looked
strong in the first two innings, but
failed to score. Hauser was cut off
at home plate in the first, and fast
double, o. Becker to Woods to Petrie
broke their pick in the second.
Linton didn't get started until the
third inning. Our new pitcher was
first up and went to first. He was
forced at second when Strceter hit
to third. Becker went to first when
Napoleon attempted to get Streeter
at second. Woods hit to the infield,
filing the bases. Shier struck out,
and Petrie then drove in three runs
with clean double between left and
center. Petrie then scored on Fair
child's hit. From that time on the
game was a walkaway. In the
fourth, Linton's pitcher singled, and
stole second. He went to third when
Napoleon's third baseman fumbled
Streeter's infeld drive, and scored on
o. Becker's single. In the sixth in
ming Linton made three more on a
bunch of hits and errors. A couple
I. of passed third strikes by the Ma.
poleon catcher helped. In the eighth
Linton scored twice on couple OF
hits, sacrifice and a couple of errors
The home team did not bat in the
ninth.
4 Linton had the best-looking lineup
of the season in Sundays game
Both Linton and Napoleon played two
outside players, the latter having thu
Dawson catcher and shortstop.
II The Napoleon team was completely
helpless at the bat after the frs
two innings. In six innings onl!

It is only the last three thousand that
