THE WORKINGmEN.
Sensible and timely Advice TO
Them.
Roston Herald.

ISOsUOn ECiTHlu.
And now our advice to all work
ingmen is to try to become capital
lists just as rapidly as they can, by
honest industry, economy and tenn
perance, instead of spending their
time and money In attempts toshOw
that society is wrong side up. This
is the American idea, and, in spite
of hard times America is the best
country in the world for the work
ingmen. There is an abundance of
land here, and political and social
freedom such as exist nowhere else
on the earth. Every man is at lib
erty to make the most of the talents
God has given him. Our institu-
tions were created by wOrkingmen,
and we recognize the fact that nine
tenths of the people Of the country
are wOrkingmen. None of the rub
bish of the dark ages-that divine
right of kings, hereditary titles,
caste, class-has been used in con-
structing our political system. The
idea here is that the government is
made for man, not man for the gov
ernment, Even capital Is less
powerful here than in Europe. 1t
is forced to submit to strong com
petition and to deal with industry
to which a hundred avenues are
open. Any mechanic who is dis
satisfied with the price his labor
commands in the market can be-
come the proprietor of fertile acres
and turn his own labor into money.
Capital Is as profitless without labor
as labor without capital. This
mutual independence never ceases.
The idea that a conflict between
capital and labor would help the
w0rkingmen Is idiOtic as contest
between two members of the same
body. There are evils enough to
combat, and the workmen should
unite in favor of honest money,
economical government and freedom
ofgOvernment. The cost'of govern
ment is only fraction at best. It
is the price we pay for peace, order
and security. 1t cannot make us
rich, handsome or happy. The best
thing we can ask Of it is to leave us
free to do for ourselves at the least
possible cost the least we ask Of
it is that it will not cheat us by
issuing false money or by unneces-
sarily increasing our burdens. What
have the social quacks to offer, un-
less that it be that quart-pots
shall hold three pints and
that two times two can be made
five by act of Congress. They do
not deserve attention-they are ig-
norant of the simplest rudiments
of political ecOnomy-apd though
some of them ha honest in their
delusions, as rule they are only
seeking to make living without
either labor or capital.

Rutler p. Anderson.
denphis Ledger.


The death of Butler p. Anderson
is loss to his family, to this COM
munity and to mankind. There is
no one to take his place. We
seldom look upon such men. A
noble, philanthropic heart beat in
| his stalwart frame. He knew no
fear. Honesty was emblazoned on
his countenance. His purposes
were the highest and best. In all
the relations of life he was sincere,
frank, generous. While very posi-
tive in his opinions he was toe gem
erous to be bigoted or proscriptive.
His nature was too grand and SYM
metrical to admit of small actions.
He came of family distinguished
for public services, and the virtues
and excellencies of character which
command admiration. His father
was prominent citizen of Middle
Tennessee, in earlier days of our his
tory as a State. His brother, Gen.
Patton Anderson, was one of the
most distinguished Of our Confed-
crate leaders. Butler Anderson
was educated for lawyer, and en-
tered the bar at an early age. He
edited paper at Helena, Ark.
when quite a young man, over
twenty Eyears ago, and welded a
bold, facile pen. Some years before
the war he went to California, then
to Oregon and finally to British
Columbia where he lived during
the war between the States. But
old ties and love for his State and
section brought him back here some
ten or twelve years ago, and he en-
tered upon the practice Of law.
After the death of Gen. Patton An
derSon he was elected to fill his |
place in an important Office created |
for the purpose of collecting State |
revenue from certain classes of de- |
linquents. This he held, if we are |
not mistaken, at the time of his
death. When the fever broke out |
here in 1873 he was one of the fore
most of the Howards in working to
alleviate the sufferings of the sick
and dying, and to care for the desti-
tute, the orphaned and the bereaved.
His services can never be forgotten
by the present generation, and his
name will be handed down and
honOred by posterity. remained,

est risk and make the terrible sac
rifice which ended his career at
Grenada. When the epidemic broke
out there in such a terrible form, a
little over four weeks ago, and the
people appealed for help, he and
Gen. w. j. Smith, of the Howards
volunteered to go, and were there
before it was know they thought of
going. Both of them were men of
large families, dependent upon them
for support they were middle aged
men, perhaps fifty years old, and
might have excused themselves and
called on younger men to go. But
they went promptly at the first call
and the world knows how nObly
they devoted themselves to a dying
people. Both, at last were stricken
down with the fever. General
Smith came home and is slowly re-
covering. Butler Anderson re-
manned too long, and died at his
post as noble martyr as our times
has produced. He was nursed by
his devoted wife, who went to his
bedside with scarcely a hope of
saving him or herself.

THE first case of yellow fever
which occurred in this country, and
of which any official record exists,
happened in New York City in
1868. In September, 1902, 502 deaths
from yellow fever occurred in New
York. In 1743 the fever killed 2l7
persons. New York was again
visited severely by the fever in 1885,
when 730 deaths occurred. Three
years thereafter, from August to
November, 2,080 persons died of the
fever. The city was not visited
severely again by Yellow Jack un-
til 1903, when, according to the sta
tistics, 6, 700 persons perished in the
epidemic of that year. In 1922, 230
deaths occurred from the fever, and
since then but few fatal cases and
no epidemic have occurred in any
year. Philadelphia was first visited
by yellow fever in 1886. In 1898,
4,041 persons died of the yellow or
malignant fever. The epidemic of
1889, carried off $500 lives, and
in 1905, 3, 400 persons died of the
fever in Philadelphia. Mobile re-
ceived her first visitation from the
fever in 1705. The fever appeared
for the first time in New Orleans in
1863. The years and mortality of
the great epidemic In that city are
as follows 1917, 2,190 deaths; 1847,
2,259 deaths; 1853, 1870 deaths
1854, 2, ,423 deaths; 1855, 2,670 deaths,
1858, $3.50 deaths; 1867, 1908 deaths.
The mortality this year on account
of yellow fever, will probably ex-
ceed any year since 1867.

How Two Notorious Louisiana
Thieves Propose To Get into Con-
gress.
Madison Wells and Tom Andcr-
son, the two champion rOgues Of the
world, aave announced themselves
as candidates for Congress in their
respective districts i'm Louisiana,
and the Washington Post gives the
following as their programme
Wells proposes To make the race i'm
the Fourth District, now represented
by Judge Elam, who has been re-
nominated by the Democrats. An
dersOn' will try his luck i'm the
Sixth District, represented AT pres
ent by Mr.. Robertson, who Is also
the Democratic nominee for re-
election. In this district an lnde-
pendent candidate has announced
himself, and Anderson hopes To
secure portion of the negro vote
and slip i'm between these two, ON
the theory that they will divide the
Democratic vote. In this calcula-
ton he will undoubtedly be disap-
pointed; for II there had been any
division among the Democrats Of
the district-and there has not-the
possibility of that rascal getting To-
Congress 10 represent them would
unite the party. old Wells also
upon the negro vote Of
his district, but he will unquestiOn-
ably be defeated by large majority.
The Returning Board rascals have
not yet been nominated, but il Is
arranged that the Repu hlican State
Committee IL To designate them as
the candidates i'm their respective
districts. This will give them au-
thOrity TO announce themselves as
the regular Republican candidates.
OF course, the administration cor
daily supports Wells and Ander-
son, and it is already planned To
give them n lift by allowing them
to distribute the 10000 ratiOns
ordered issued TO the yellow fever
sufferers. Upon some proteXt IL has
been decided TO issue these mtiOns
from the Custom House, and Wells
and Anderson will have charge OF
il, They will deal the Government
food out 20 the negroes, and then
demand their support and influence
i'm the Congressional race. They
will claim that they are entitled 20
all the credit for this measure of re-
lief, and that gratitude should in
duce the colored voters to stand by
them. In short II is the purpose Of
these two old sinners 90 buy negro
votes with Government mtions.
They cannot issue the ratiOns 10 tho
negroes In their own Congressional
districts, which are located in the
country, and are not afflicted with
yellow fever, hut they will, in their
canvass, illustrate their devotion io
the cOlOred race by telling tile
oarkeys of the interior what they
did for the darkcys Of the city.

Death of Miss Matte West.


1t grieves us to announce the
death, from flux, of Miss Matte
West, aged 13 years, daughter Of
Rev. DR.. J. B. West, which occurred
at the residence of ID. G. Shapard,
in this place, Yesterday morning, at
h,lif-past 5 O'Clock. The deceased
was a very lovely girl in person and
character, and universally loved by
all who knew her. She was remark
ably bright and intelligent, and her
future was full of promise. But
death has claimed her young NOR
tai life, only to give her, however,
that blissful life of immortality be-
yond the Dark Valley. Aye !!
"blissful immortality ~ That is a
comforting thought, even in the
gloomy hour of death and yet it is
grievous to think that one so bright
and lovely and good, as was the
subject of this notice, should be
snatched from the very Threshold
Of life, from the embrace of loved
and loving friends, into the dark
abyss of death. Her immediate
relatives have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of this community, where DIR.
West, in his sacred ministrations,
his true Christian walk and conver-
sation, has endeared himself to all.
The remains of the deceased were
started to Clarksville, by the 2:30
train, yesterday afternoon, accom-
panied by her bereaved brother and
sister. The burial will be at Clarks-
vile to-day.
