TO CALL ENTIRE
COURT DOCKET
AT APRIL Term
CHANCELLOR LYTLE EXPECTED
TO RETIRE A LARGE NUMBER
OF EQUITY CASES.
MEET ON THE THIRD MONDAY
To Continue Policy Commenced
Year Ago of Expediting the TrlaLof
Gases--To Retire Them II mo Good
Cause Shown to Contrary.

From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
When chancery court convenes here
on Monday, April IS, for the April
term Chancellor Lyle will call the
entire docket just as he did year
ago. The judge is going to insist
that the docket of the court shall be
cleared. Every case on it will be. call
ed and the lawyers should be on hand
for If they have any reasons to ad-
vance why the case should not go off
the docket that will DE the time to
present it.
1t will be recalled that a year ago
the chancellor retired about l25 cases
from the docket that had cucumber
ed it from two to a dozen years or
more. There were many old cases,
however, that for one reason of anoth-
er he did not retire and these will now
come under the ban of the court, I'M
less real good and substantial causes
should appear to the contrary.
Chancellor Lyle does not believe
in the old saying that case once in
chancery will always be in chancery
and since he has been on the bench
he has demonstrated that causes can
be expeditiously tried and disposed of
| ma court of equity as they can in
court of law.
The docket for the coming term will
not be as heavy as that of the last
term, that is the character of litlga-
ton will not be as important as that
heard six months ago where there
were number of big suits involving
constitutional questions and. the con-
struction of statutes to be decided. 1t
is expected that the chancellor will
be here for about three weeks engaged
in the trial of cases.

Wheat Escapes
Any Injury By
LOD Temperature

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Wheat, clover and oats have not
been damaged by the freeze of last
night. Some anxiety was felt for
young clover, but careful examination
made by NJ. Pink Murphy, one of the
largest farmers of the county, proves
that these fears were unfounded.
At noon today Mr., Murphy reported
to The Herald that there were no in
dications that either the young clover
or oats were injured and wheat was
not even touched by the cold. Mr.. Muir.
ply. said that he was convinced that
the damage from the freeze was con-
fined entirely to fruits and berries
and to such gardens as were prema-
turely up.

Bumper Fruit Prospects Blighted by
Last Night'e Tumble Of Tempera-
ture to Twenty-Seven Degrees--oth-
er Crops Hurt.

From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
1t is estimated that between $780,
900 and $250,000 damage to the fruit
and vegetable crops of Maury county
was caused by last nights heavy frost
and freeze. The temperature during
the night dropped to twenty-seven de-
grees, five degrees below the freezing
point, and to within three degrees of
the lowest temperature of Februa.
ry.
The apple, peach, cherry and plum
crops of the county are practically a
total loss.
According to Horace Rainey, who
had prospects for one of the largest
cherry crops in the history of the
county, practically his entire crop
was killed by the freeze.
!. c.. Murphy, of Lebanon Heights
Farm, and one of the leading orchard
lists of the county, said that practical.
ly all fruit OF the county had been kill
ed. An examination showed that
young fruit and blossoms had been
frozen. The only chance for even a
small quantity OF fruit, he said, would
be for the weather to remain cold all
day, and moderate after the sun goes
down tonight. A sun thaw would kill
all fruit, in the judgment of Mr.. Muir
ply. a
Vegetables of all kinds were killed
in all sections of the county, and Che
loss will be a heavy one, for the vege-
table crop was fully month ahead,
as was the fruit crop on account of the
warm weather Of the past two months.
II Is said that there had never been
better prospects for bumper fruit
crop in the county than this spring
until last nights freeze came. In ev-
cry section of the county all manner
Of fruit trees were laden with blooms
and young fruit, Practically all of this
was killed.
1t is not thought that wheat, which
is now jointing was killed. However,
some expressed doubt that it escaped
uninjured.
1t will possibly be remembered by
some that on April %, 1910, long after
the trees were in full leaf, and vege-
tables were far advanced, heavy snow
any freeze came. The tenn
perature dropping to % degrees
on that occasion. At that time it was
estimated that a damage OF 100000
was done in Maury county, the loss
of the wheat crop having been includ-
ed In the first reports, it being later
discovered that the wheat crop was
not injured, and from that experience,
it is not believed that any material in
jury was caused the wheat crop
through last nights freeze.
1t is believed that the freeze effected
all of Middle Tennessee and that the
loss of fruit and vegetables be enor-
nous. Reports from Georgia indicate
that peach raisers in that state fear
for the safety of the entire crop,
which yearly is sold for millions of
dollars.

Peach crop total loss.

Apple crop not less that rs per

Mr. Rainey stated that had the day
