Refusal OF farmers in Bengal to

Calcutta dispatch via London. Ii the
first Of the scheduled instances of
mass "civil disobedience" to over
throw British rule in India. SALEM
dra N. Chose, director Of the Ameri-
can commission to promote self
government in India. announced here
today.
"The action Of the farmers in Ben

ment of the decree Of civil disobe-
dience' issued by Mohandas K.
Gandhi. leader of the passive re-
volt In India. 1t was originally not
intended to put this policy into ef-

the farmers said they would be un.
able to meet their taxes on schedule
time. They had not then Joined the
non-co-operation movement, but the
British, thinking their declaration
part of the revolutionary program,
ordered enforcement of section 141
of the land revenue code. This Sec
ton provides that a farmer cannot
reap or remove any crops until he
has paid or arranged to pay the land
tax. AS the only way in which the
farmers could hope to pay their
taxes before harvesting and selling
their crops would be through get
ting extortionate loans from the
money lenders. the British order
amounted to confiscation OF the har-
vest.
"That action has led to widespread
disorder in the Dohad district, and
the farmers generally have gone
ahead reaping their crops in def
ance of the British authorities.
Extension of the civil disobedi-
ence through Bengal is likely to be
the final step to open rebellion
throughout India.
Armed Action Expected.
Under the circumstances, Britain
can do one Of two things-either get
out of India voluntarily or resort to
force in an attempt to collect the
taxes. As no one dreams she would
do for the former, the use OF force
will be the signal for an end OF the
passive and non-violent revolt, and
India will resort to armed defense
Mr.. Chose said the Nationalists,
without counting promised recruits
from the Indian regiments, have more
than 1 100 900 trained volunteers. who
will be armed with machine guns and
rifles, and other weapons OF modern
warfare as soon as the signal for
armed defense Is given.

SIGHT CT HORSE RESTORED
Live Worm Cut From Animals Eye
in Most Remarkable Operation in
Veterinary Surgery.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-One Of the most
remarkable operations in the history
Of veterinary surgery has just been
performed by DR.. George Waddle, who
removed a live worm known as a
filiria equine, from the left eye Of q
horse.
The worm was about two inches in
length. 1t was easily discernibe
through the enlarged pupil and
against the dark background Of the
retina. It was the first eye worm ever
found by Doctor WaddIe in his thirty
eight years experience in the United
States and Canada, although the
affection is not an extraordinary one
in Europe.
The operation was exceedingly diff
flcult because of the delicate nature
Of the tissue, but the worm was ex-
tracted in fifteen minutes through the
application Of local anaesthetics The
surgeon believes that within short
time the horse will recover full use
of its eye The worm is developed
from a microscopic germ carried to
the eye by the blood and lodged in the
peculiarly formed sac in the equine
eyeball until it is fully developed as
worm. The horse is said to be the
only animal in which the development
of an eye worm is possible.

speaking campaign in West Tennes-
see indicate that he is making an eff
fective drive for the Democratic nom
nation for governor, Below we
quote from the newspapers in our
neighboring counties as to the prog
ress of his campaign:
Senator L. E. Gwinn, Of Covington,
who is seeking the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor Of Tennessee,
filled a number of speaking appoint
ments in Weakley county last week,
and the reports that we have heard
from each appointment are to the eff
feet that Senator Gwinn not only
made most favorable impression
upon his hearers, but that he con-
WINGED multitudes of the soundness of
his doctrine and that he received
many assurances of support in
Weakley county Senator Gwinn had
spoken here once before and many
were favorably impressed with his
clear-cut straightforward declara-
tions upon state issues. His is not
carping criticism of big public men,
but, rather, he offers remedies that
are both sane and practical of the
real existing evils. He does not adj
voeate tearing down of our big state
institutions because Of flaws, but he
wants to take out the weak places and
straighten them with laws that will
rebound to the citizenship of the en-
tire state.-Dresden Enterprise.
Senator L. E. Gwinn, Of Covington,
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor of Tennessee, spoke
here last Friday to the largest crowd

Senator L. E. Gwinn, of Covington,
spoke at the courthouse at Hunting
don Friday afternoon to a large
audience, the courthouse being COM
fortably filled. This was Mr.. Gwinn's
first visit to Huntingdon and his
speech made fine impression upon
the crowd, numerous voters crowding
around him at the close and pledging
their support. Many Of these said
they intended to vote for other can
didates until they heard his speech,
Mr.. Gwinn was introduced by j. B.
Gilbert, editor Of the Carroll County
Democrat. He followed the usual
lines of his speech on the question
Of taxation The plank in his plat
form that appeared to meet with most
favor was that advocating a separa-
ton of the sources of state and local
revenue, so that the state would levy
no direct tax on land for state pur-
poses. Marked approval also greeted
his discussion of the severance tax.
The speech was free from personal
criticism of his opponents, but a nnm-

made to the manner in which some of
them had appropriated parts Of his
platform, and these were very much

 The University of Alabama has taken leading part by her contri- button to the citizenship not only of the state but of the nation"
