KEFOnil 8CHOOT* Tbo Itofonn School Had within its charge on J to contract for the work of the prisoners at as favorable rates as formerly. But, in addition to this, a loss of 314.lfiiJ.32 suffered by tho prison in 187B and 1870 on a contract for prison labor used in tbo manufacture of cigars, made with one Charles Hollings- worth, appears as a deficit now, when, in fact, it was a 1o»h then. In 1875 Hollingsworth failed. His stock of cigars was taken by tho Inspectors in December of that year by virtue of the lien of tho State thereon, and not disposed of until after the annual report for 1870 was made, consequently the statement of the loss docs not appear therein, as the goods had not been Bold or tho amount of tho deficiency ascertained. With this loss placod where it should be, tbe prisuu accounts would not at any time within tbo past two years have shown a deficit. The addition to tlm east wing of the prison and to tbe wagon shop, as well as the extcnsiim of the engine room authorized by the lost Legislature, have been built. The stave shop and cooper shop have likewiso been constructed, but no work has been dono on the proposed extension of the priBon wall. Tbe Inspectors represent tho general management and discipline as satisfactory, and tho health of the convicts good. I invite your attention to the valuable statistical report of the Warden.

During the last fow years there has been a difficulty in enforcing tho law in regard to fencing upon railroads operated by receivers or lOsBees, Our laws ovidontly uovor contemplated that Individuals would bo permitted to operate railroads iu this Stato, and therefore imposed no penalties upon sncii persona, while thoy do upon corporations. In ma-y casos remedy by penalty is inadequate to reach the object dosirod, corporations or porsons operating tho roads being entirely irresponsible. I would suggest whether it would not bo well to amend tho law in this rogard so as to make it a condition precedent to tho oontinuod operation of a road that tbo fences through improved, and cultivated lands should bo const rue tod within a glvon timo, and thereafter maintained, and that al porsons operating railroads Bhould bo mado liablo to tbo Bamo ponalty. Tbo offico of Commissioner of Itailroads was established for tho purpose, among other tilings, of arriving at an authentic report of tbo transactions of railroad corporations, w'ith a view to '^legislation in regard to then- nghta and tho interests and protection ot tho public This system has also been adopted in many of our sistor States, and is, without doubt, of very groat I fliMik tbo appropriation should bo some- ' what largor thau heretofore, and that provision should bo mado for additional help, as tbo 1 present location will neeaBsitato it I would , also suggest tbe propriety of having tho Li- I brarian kee>p an account of lost or damagod j - books, as woll as having an inventory taken j v yearly. | INSURANCE. j The business of insurance, connected as it is J ! with nearly all our commercial and financial j ' trannactioiis,haB become one of gi-eatimportnnce.

S£- - porionco in this omergency demonstrates that we muat rely chiefly upon our Stato military- to , suppress riots or tumults arising in our midst Tno policy of tlio General Governiuent aeema to be to discourage tho employment of Federal troops in Buch cases until it is apparent that tha State alono is unable to ovorcomo tho disturbance. In tbe outbreak referred to, if we had been without a Stato forco, and had been obliged to waituntil a formal anplieation could have been made on the President and responded to by Federal troops, the strike woulcf undoubtedly have assumed much greater proportions. Tho Unitod States mail, of which there was a largo quantity on delayed trains, would have been longer dotamod; wbilo tho criminal and vicious, who seem to have mado such disturbances an occasion for pillago and plunder, would havo ^ had greater opportunities to enable them to do damage. While not prepared to adviac an increase of tho military force, I do recommend the adoption of meaKurcs to add to its efficiency. A * stop in this direction baa already been taken by tho Military Board in exchanging tho firearms heretofore used for the latest pattern of Sharp's breech-loading rifles, with which all of tbo regiments are now equipped.

The balance, Sl,50<i,00O, may fairly be considered as the net loss to tbis State each year by lire. Many of these fires may bo attributed indirectly to the entire absenco or mn-enforco- ment of building laws, and directly to defective construction. After all probable innocent causes are eliminated, the criminal records affirm that arson is not an infrequent agent in tbe burning of property. This class of fires may be set to hide crimo, gratify revenge, or to force a sale to insurance) companies of over- insured property. This subject is an important one in view o'f'tho desirabih'y of saving the wealth of the State and suppressing crime. Within tbe last eight years, it appears from the reiiortii of the several prosecuting attorneys to the Attorney General, that tho numlier of persons prneecilod against in this State for various offenses was 47.S24. Of these 313 were charged with the crime of arson, but only forty- two were convicted and punished. It would seem that tbo laws are amplo for tbe punishment of tbis crime, and it is not apparent that thiro is any lack of zeal on tbe part of prosecuting officers when proper complaints are force, while in others the chief of tho bureau acts wholly upon his own discretion and employs as many as he sees lit to. The position is a desirable one to many persona and is eagerly sought The result is that a great pressure is brought to bear in behalf of applicants upon tho head of a department having the matter wholly in bis own bands, which tends constantly to an enlargement of the force. The number of clerks in the Auditor General's office at time" during tbe year past lias ranged as high as uini'ty. I have the best of reason to believe that a smaller service thoroughly systematized would have aivoruplishi'd the Bame results. I recommend that provision Ik- made by law specifying the ntimbi r of clerks to lie empfoved by the head of each department, and providing that the Umit Fhall not lie exceeded save with tin- e-onsent and approval of tbe Board of Auditors.

From this statement it will be perceived that the exercise of the pardoning power has been less frequent under my administration than foimerly, and the difference will bo the more apparent when it is remembered that the number of convicts in UiojiriBons within cither of the lost two years considerably exceeds the number imprisoned in any other year of the Berics, In thus reducing tho excrciBo of the pardoning power I have boon largoly governed by tho consideration that tho enactmeut of tho Legislature of 1875, known as tho "good time law-," places it within the powor of a convict, by diligence and good behavior, to himself greatly lessen Ids term of impriBonment The allowanco of time under this law for such conduct ranges on a gradual scale, increasing from two months for I Whole No. of teachers em tbe first year to six months for tlio twor,tieth 1 ,"v)Vci':••;;■•• year.

It has worked well in practice, stimulating tlio convicts to conduct themselves iu an obedient and orderly manner, and bos thus proved of valuable aid in tho discipline of the priaons.; I am further of the conviction that the too frequent exercise of executive clemency tends to defeat tho ends of justice, to rendor punishment for crime uncertain, ami to make prisoners restless usd nneasy. I have, therefore, limited it to fewer cases than formerly, and, before granting it, havo required a notice of tho application to bo published.

I accordingly ordered ont the whole militiry force of the State to be encamped where they might rapidly be made available in case of need. To tbis call the troops promptly responded, and the three regiments were quickly m tho field ready for active duty.

Luxurious Diamond Snake Crossover Ring
Snake motif rings have been part of jewelry history for several hundreds of years. The majority of this type of ring is typically in yellow gold and usually decorated with colored gems. This particular example is of more recent vintage and is crafted in 18k white gold. Moreover, the form is that of a crossover ring with the head and tail of the snake crossing over the other.
The head is set with a marquise cut diamond of an estimated .60 carats (H-I color; VS2 clarity). This enticing diamond appears as if the weight were closer to a carat as that particular cut is a shallower stone which looks larger than it literal weight. In addition, the tail is set with ten (10) rose cut diamonds. Please note that the surface areas close to both the head and tail are incised with a pattern resembling that of snake skin. Engraved to the interior is the European style date of "31-12-1958" for December 31, 1958.
Date: Circa 1958.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.9 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.6 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 3.3 grams (2.1 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/4 (UK O; Euro or Int. Circum. 55.0 mm; Int. Dia. 17.5 mm; Japan over 14) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: Engraved to interior "31-12-1958".
Condition: Excellent.
Note: Diamond was not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. Weight is approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stone is removed.

For those of you interested in Mount Everest (I figure there are at least a few on this forum) there is a new documentary series chronicalling one team's ascent last spring. New episodes air on the Discovery Channel, Tuesday's at 10pm....with many repeats during the week.
The show follows Russel Bryce's team up the North Col route through Tibet. The climbing season last spring was very controversial with many well-publicized deaths on the mountain. As many as the "Into Thin Air" season in 1996. Bryce's team was harshly criticized with a few of these fatalities. I hope this series will help set the record straight.
I watched the first episode last night and it was very good. Lot's of real footage high on the mountain (Everest Imax had less than 1 minute of film above high camp). This sort of series is long overdue in my mind.

Hello again everyone in Martinville,
I have had my special times with my TR-1 but all things are working out fine now, patience and handi-work will prevail!!
Back to my topic of arrow selection, Has anyone had experience with eastons full metal jacket shafts or similar in the 10 GPI weight range? My shots are in fine groups for my expectation but the set up is a little noisy for hunting. I got the usual string dampeners and 8" stabilizer (from x factor) but still more noise than I like. Finally got a grain scale and have arrow weights under 5 GPI for a 70 draw wt. (70 x 5 = 350) Mine are at 333. I think this is my noise problem and not good for the limbs. I shoot a short arrow raw shaft cut at 26.5 so that loses some weight too. shaft now is 7.5 GPI.( 26.5 x 7.5 = 198.75) add 135 for nock, insert & fletching. So to get to say 6 gpi for 70 # DWT (6 x 70 = 420) minus add ons of 135 grn leave a raw shaft wt needed of 285. Divide by cut length of 26.5 and I need a 10.75 GPI shaft.
Back again to the easton shafts of 10+ GPI, any good report on them and is the loss of speed worth the reduction in noise and gain of kinetic force to hunt with?

MARTIN, Tenn. - Coming off the program's third consecutive Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance, the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team is primed for another deep postseason run.
In a preseason poll of the league's head coaches and sports information directors, the UT Martin women's basketball team has been selected to win the Ohio Valley Conference West Division. The Skyhawks picked up 22 of 24 first-place votes while wrapping up 132 points in the West.
With the high standards set for the program, fifth-year head coach Kevin McMillan and the Skyhawks will have to rely on their three starters among eight returners from last year's championship team. Among the top returnees is the dynamic scoring duo of senior guards Jasmine Newsome and Heather Butler.
Despite normally being outsized on the court, Newsome and Butler have risen above their stout competition to set to new precedents at UT Martin. While rewriting the UT Martin record books, Newsome and Butler made national headlines this past season as they ranked as the only duo to both rank in the top-10 nationally in scoring as Newsome tallied 22.6 point per game (fifth) and Butler trailed with 22.4 point per game (sixth).
Newsome opens the season on the country's national radar. On top of being named the league's Preseason Player of the Year and All-OVC member, Newsome has been named to several prestigious preseason lists. College Sports Madness named Newsome its Mid-Major Preseason Player of the Year, OVC Preseason Player of the Year and an All-Mid Major first team All-American. A Millington native, Newsome became the program's first AP All-American after being named the league's Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, along with Defensive Player of the Year honors. She set numerous scoring records in last season's OVC Tournament with 98 total points over three games, including a tournament-record 41 point performance against Eastern Illinois.
Throughout her first three seasons as a Skyhawk, Newsome has rewritten the UT Martin record books. Newsome ranks second on the all-time scoring list (1,958 points) while setting records with most single-season points (770), single-season free throws (167), single-season assists (193) and 508 career assists. She also ranks in the top-10 in 19 statistical categories.
Butler is yet another prolific scorer who's first three seasons have proved to not only break previous records, but completely redefine UT Martin's history. Butler was tabbed Preseason All-OVC after becoming UT Martin's all-time leading scorer with 2,111 points, a mark which only trails the OVC career mark by 415 points. This preseason, Butler has joined Newsome on several preseason lists. Butler has been named an All-Mid Major All-American by College Sports Madness along with All-OVC first team honors. A Medina native, Butler set a pair of NCAA three-point records with 80 consecutive games with a three-point field goal and 34 consecutive games in a single season.
Butler has meanwhile revolutionized the scoring logs, ranking atop career points (2,111), single-season field goals made (266), single-season field goals attempted (704), career field goals attempted (1822), single-season three-pointers made (105), single-season three-pointers attempted (319), career three-pointers made (288) and career three-pointers attempted (793). She also holds the longest active NCAA streak of consecutive games with double-digit points (97) and ranks in the top-10 in 13 statistical categories.
Often lost in the shuffle of the dynamic combo of Newsome and Butler is fellow four-year senior Megan White. A native of Heath, Ohio, White has proved to a leader on and off the court. After being a part of McMillan's initial signing class, White had her best statistical season in 2012-13. Despite injuries plaguing most of her years, White appeared in 22 games for the Skyhawks this past season, providing depth at the wing position and a scoring threat from the perimeter. Twenty-five of White's 30 shots made last season came from beyond the arc. Her scoring ability, combined with her ability to contain her opponent defensively has continued to build her reputation as one of the most decorated individuals in program history.
"Our three seniors are the most decorated class that we've ever had at UT Martin, both individually and as a team," said McMillan. "Megan gets lost in the shuffle a lot of times, but she is a leader that has completely sold out to the team. Jasmine and Heather, their stuff is easy to see but Megan competes for everything she has. Academically those three put in the work, they are active in the community and they are exactly what you are looking for to showcase a program."
The trio of Skyhawk seniors, along with 13 players with one year or less of program experience, will have to quickly adjust to the team's system with yet another difficult schedule on the horizon. The season's upcoming schedule is highlighted by two Southeastern Conference members, two Big 10 Conference schools, an Atlantic Coast Conference foe, the Preseason Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and 10 opponents with postseason appearances last season.
"We have a lot of road games, seeing stops at some of the top teams and conferences in the country," McMillan stated. "You've got Florida State and Ohio State which are perennial tournament performers. Illinois is rising to the top of the Big Ten while Missouri returns nearly everyone. You look at Alabama which is another SEC team and Winthrop, which many people don't know much about, but is one of the best mid-majors in the country."
"We could look back at the end of the season and this could be the most difficult schedule that we've ever played overall. The Baylor, Stanford and Notre Dame's aren't there, but the overall quality of the schedule could be the best we've ever faced," McMillan continued.
The Skyhawks will look to their depth at every position as they make a push for their fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, a feat which has only been accomplished three times in OVC history (Austin Peay, 2001-04; Middle Tennessee, 1983-86; Tennessee Tech, 1989-'93).
Once you look past Butler and Newsome at the guard position you've got several newcomers. Freshmen Shai Warfield-Cross and Elizabeth Masengil will look to make immediate contributions in the Skyhawk backcourt along with the return of sophomore guard Chelsey Hall.
"Warfield-Cross can play anywhere from guard to the wing position," described McMillan. "She brings great athleticism to the table. It's going to come down to how quickly she can match her skills to her athleticism and figure out the system in general. Masengil is a scorer, a big guard who can play multiple positions."
Along the wing the Skyhawks will look to their third returning starter, sophomore Katie Schubert to increase production. Schubert saw action in 33 games for the Skyhawks, leading the OVC with a .432 shooting percentage from three-point range. She averaged 5.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. She scored a season-best 14 points against Tennessee Tech while tallying double figures in five contests. Schubert will be joined on the wing by White, junior Karisma Tyson and freshman Trischa Lacy.
"We're looking for Katie to shoulder some of the scoring load as she continues to develop into that third option," said McMillan. "Trischa Lacy can absolutely wear it out from long range which could be a huge threat for us. Tyson can also bring an element of length that can play the guard or wing position as well."
After graduating 75% of its offensive production from the post, UT Martin will look to a mixture of returners and newcomers to fill the void. The Skyhawks will look to freshman Tiara Caldwell and sophomore Chelsea Roberts to step in and begin to contribute immediately. Sophomore Cortrice Golden looks to return from a season-ending knee injury having appeared in eight games before going down. Freshmen Ashia Jones, Jordan Johnson and Tiffany Jones will each compete for time in the low post.
"Roberts and Caldwell are both very talent kids," McMillan began. "Both of those kids could really help us. Their understanding of the system is growing daily while their skill and athleticism is impressive. Golden is very talented while Johnson will try to rebound from an injury that kept her out last year. We have a very good group of basketball players, probably the best pure basketball players at that position that we've ever had."
As they season begins and the preseason preparation becomes game tested, this mixture of returners and newcomers will have little time to adjust. Unlike in previous years, UT Martin is no longer a sleeper but rather the target on every opponent's schedule. With the unique blend of senior depth and leadership and talented newcomers, the outlook is bright as the Skyhawks look to continue making waves on the national stage.
"I think we have the potential to be better than we have been," stated McMillan. "I think there are big question marks, but every team has them at this point in the year. The question for our entire team is who is going to learn the system? We have a lot of options, we just have to find the right mixture of talent, athleticism and understanding. Once we find that mixture, it will be interesting to see what the "best" this team has to offer will be."
The Skyhawks will open their season on Friday, Nov. 8 when they play host to Georgia State in the first round of the Preseason Women's National Invitational Tournament. Tip off from the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center is schedule for 6 p.m.

We're talking - and running - about this because most things changed for me in May of 09.
I was "living the dream" baby. Amazing family life, close relationships with extended family and friends. Partnered with an incredible & talented team at work co-owning a successful design firm. I worked hard, I played hard. I considered myself to be in fairly good mid-40s shape. Life was so so good.
Ovarian cancer. That diagnosis put everything in a big bag and shook it up over and over for me for two years. The one thing that did NOT change was an incredible will to be positive in my attitude for myself, for my family, friends and business associates and .... for my doctors. I'm running for them. To give them the money they need to do their work. They saved my life and I want to help them save more lives.
We REALLY need to show up for this - lets bring some big chuckles and even bigger bucks to a much underfunded and really,really under "talked about" cancers below the waist to uncover the cures for ovarian, uterine, colon cancers and more. I"m on the good side of this thing now - I am now able to help others and I'm asking YOU to help ME.
So me and my peeps - we are taking it down to the briefs, the tighty whities, the skivvies, the gonchies and the boxers (no takers on the floss). We are going to walk the 5K and/or run the 10K to bring more awareness & funds to facilitate the research critical to it's detection, treatments and I'll say it out loud- ITS CURE.
What can you do about it? You can donate to me! And don't be shy either, dig deep - it's about giving these devastating cancers some exposure and shedding some light on their cures. So please help me in my effort to raise money for care and research for cancers down there!
See you there on the 9th. The whole Fluid Creative Brief's team (running/walking or donating) is invited to our house for a big debriefing session We will throw on a big spread and have lots of cold rehydration for you. Our way of saying thanks for helping.
