Hon. Nicholson.

Alfred Osborne Pope Nicholson, Chief
Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Bench,
died after long illness ut o'clock,
Thursday evening. We Gull a few facts
from an excellent and exceedingly fair
article in the American: He was born
in Williamson county in lS0S, August 81,
graduated &C the University of North
Carolina ut Chapel Hill, in 1927, and
commenced the study of medicine, lcaV-
ing that profession for law he began
practice in 1881. In 1892 he became edi-
tor of the Western Mercury, a Democratic
paper ut Columbia, which he conducted
for three years. He served in the LegiS-
lature from 1888 to 1899, when he was
nominated for Congress and declined. In
1910 he served IS i candidate for Presi-
Dental electOr on the Democratic ticket,
and in December was appointed by Gov
ernOr Polk TO succeed Hon. Felix Grun-
dy, and served for two sessions. In 1913
he was elected to the State Senate, and
the next year took an active part in the
Presidential canvass for Polk. In 1874,
he took charge of the Union in Nashville.
He was beaten for Senator in 1915. In
1916 he retired from the editOrship of
the Union, and from 1916 TO 1913 was
President of the Bank of Tennessee. He
was member of the Southern Convention
which met at Nashville in 1850. He was
anu AlE4AA llSelLAOtl NA NllL-
cellOr for one year, declining . run for
reelection. He was Elector-at-Large on
the Pierce ticket in 1852. lie declined 4
position in PierCc's Cabinet to become
editor of the Washington Union. In 1852
he was elected Senator for a full term
March, 1857. He resigned
at the beginning of the war, and while
his name does not occur in connection
with those stormy times, he was impris-
oned, and on his release followed the for
tunes of his people south, and was in full
sympathy with Tennessee. He was man
OF great intellectual capacity, one of the
most honorcd and learned lawvears in
the State, with power of investigation,
habits of rapid thought, and of endur-
lnce, which made him a powerful man.
As the American aptiy remarks, he was
too tjmid for leIdc.. He was sensitive
to the popular breath, and yet q man of
liked principle, Vino might lend and
seem to yield, yer, in the long run, never
yielded his convictions. The simple
story Of his life Illustrates hi- char1rTer-

\ correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times, who Travelled with the Northwes-
tern excursiOnists, on their Southern
frolic, thus writes from Augusta, Geor-
gia, Is follows: ''In the central and nor
thern part of Georgia, we found many
Northerncrs, s. 10 had purchased farms,
and were engaged IN fruit raising. They
all said it is a beautiful country, with
good soil when well managed, and they
were entirely satisfied. Most of these
men who have come from the North and
settled, expressed themselves in anything
but complimentary manner of the ne
groes. "They are lazy, shiftless and i'm
pudent," said one farmer to me, who had
emigrated hore from Wisconsin. ''They
won't work while they have a cent, and
will leave you the minute they get one.
No dependence can be placed o. them,
and we have quit hiring them and rely
entirely upon white labor
They viii not reman in the country,
but crowd into the cities, and arc con-
tented so long rs they can serape
enough food together to fill their bellies,
and can find sunny corner to loaf on.
In Atlanta there arc, on an average, ten
or twelve negroes standing about every
corner on the principal streets, and we
counted seventy leaning up against
the walls of the tate-house."

All Of the members were present. eN-

meeting was organized at eleven o'clock.
The chairman explained fully to the COM
mittee the object for which he had called
them together. A lengthy interchange Of
opinions took place relative TO the prOpri-
ETY. Of holding two conventions, one be-
fore and the other after the st. Louis Ma
tionaI Convention. 1t soon became evil
dent that there was q considerable diver
sity OF opinion rs to the proper course to
be pursued. Some of the members urged
the calling of two conventions; others
favored two conventions; but preferred
that the propricty Of holding q second
should be left to the discussion of the
first. To this 10 was replied that If two
conventions were To be held IL should be
known ut once by the people, so that the
delegates could be chosen and sent 10 the
convention with distinct understanding
of the work before them. Then there
were others who favored ths holding Of
only one convention which should NOT
only appoint delegates IN the National

II. =. Redleld, the able correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes the
following to that paper in relation 10
Tennessee. 1t cannot always be so;
''The trouble in every Southern State is
over buying and under production. Then
the waste Is dreadful. Unless man has
lived say among the farmers of Western
New York and than among the farmers
Of Tennessee, he cannot appreciate the
great difference in this particular. The
New York farmer fdttens his hogs upon
what, in Tennessee, is thrown 10 the
dogs. The yearly waste in the Southern
States is past all computation. The re-
fuse from the table is wasted; kitchen
slops are wasted; stable and barn yard
manure is wasted; wheat straw, in fact
all straw and corn-stalks are wasted.
There is no saving anywhere. IL is a
carnival Of waste from the Ohio river to
the Gulf. And this is one of the things
that is the matter, and the chief reason
that we hear the eternal complaint that
.'there is no money in the country"
