\ Washington dispatch says: con,
corning the Potter investigation, that
the Republicans do not care about the
President or Secretary Sherman; in
fact, NEST of them would rather enjoy
seeing the Administration dirtied.
What embarrasses them is the evi
dence that Louisiana was carried by
an organized conspiracy of fraud.
They feel and privately admit that if
further testimony on this subject is
produced by the Democrats il will 60
very far to ruin the Republicans in
the public esteem and make their con,

MckENZEE,

Col. w. w. Vaughan delivered an
able and beautiful address to the
graduating class at Bethel College,
Mckenzie, last Thursday. A large
audience was present, and all were
charmed. We copy short extract,
in which he pays handsome compli>
ment to the fair sex:

power. l earned early in life at the
feet of a Christian mother that it was
safe to step il her footprints. Yes,
that frail and unpretending being,
thar bundle of nerves and emotions,
that modest and tlmid creature has
the power and influence that she can
exercise in the private walks of life,
by her words and acts of kindness, of
love and Of gentleness that can purify
and build up society. Who can
measure or estimate the power of a
Christian mother over he: son God
in his wise providence has placed
woman in the most important position
of life. To properly discharge the
many arduous duties imposed upoI
her, requires education and knowl-
edge, love and patience, forbearance,
gentleness and firmness. Woman by
divine decree is as it were the chief
cornerstone Of the Nation. Upon
her pure, refining, enrolling and
Christian graces all good society is
built up, purified and made better for
the habitation Of man.

FULTON.

Editor Exchange:
We have been spending several
days in this vicinity and find Fulton
a live town; trade seems to be brisk.
Health extra good and people in
good spirits excepting as regards the
wheat crop and here let US say that
poorer crop, Of wheat was never raised
in West Tennessee or Western KY,
and worse than all, the grain is nearly
ali Of an inferior quality. Corn and
cotton crops are promising. but are
needing work, and the recent rains
have been disadvantageous to all farm
work. Tobacco viii be cultivated to
very small extent this year as farms
ers are disheartened at present ruin,
ously low prices.
The temperance cause speeds on
gloriously, Fulton county has sue
ceeded in voting the accused saloons
out Of the county and we hope Obion
will ere long follow the example. We
organized Harris Lodge 1. o. G. T.,
at Harris Station last Saturday night,
with twenty charter members. The
following is a list of officers elected
for the current term:
DIR. A. b. Wayne, w. G. T;

The lodge starts out under very
favorable circumstances and will do
well; tits located in a good section of
country and among energetic, intelli-
gent and first class people. Success
to Harris Lodge.
Hon. Clint Alden will receive good
support from old Obion for Circuit
Judge. Success to him; he is worthy
and our people know it and will act
accordingly. Obion has six aspir-
ants for Legislative honors-and they
will have to fully satisfy the people as
to where they stand before they can
get the peoples votes. Obion has
several times been mis-represented
and we are tired of the like Wish,
ing you success, we are yours.

Bryant has delivered public many
on the Americans occasion
of public demonstrations to
their memory. Among the most not.
ed were addresses on the life and writ
ings Of James Fennimore Cooper and
Washington Irving. On the occasion
of the dedication OF the statue of 8. F.
B. Morse, in Central Park, he deliver.

ments of the inventor of the telegraph.
His last appearance in public was on
similar occasion, on Wednesday, the
18th ult., when he delivered an address
at the unvailing of bust of Mazzini, In
Central Park. In that address he re-
called his recollectIons of Italy during
his first visit, forty four years before,
and in closing invoked the bust of the
italian patriot in the following strain,
which proves to be, unfortunately, his
last words: "Inage of the illustrious
champion of civil and religious liberty,
cast In enduring bronze to typify the
ren0wn of thy original!
Remain for ages yet to come where we
place thee, in this resort of millions;
remain till the day shall dawn-far
distant though it may be-when the
rights and duties of human brother.
hood shall be acknowledged by all the
races of mankind" In fulfilling the
task allotted to him on that occasion
the "old man eloquent was exposed

at the close OF his address was over.

to the residence of General James &.
Wilson to obtain rest and refreshments
but on the door step he tainted and fell
back wards, striking his head on the
stone platform. He was removed to
his own home, but failed to recover
sufficient consciousness to recognize bis
relatives and friends. He fingered
until about five o'clock on Wednesday
when death ended all. Thus
has closed the career of one of the
brightest lights OF American literature.
His funeral took place on Friday,

A RIDDLE.
BY PETER GROVES.

In the beginning God created all but me,
For man my creator should be;
And by mans diction still remain,
Then why should he my presence refrain?
The rich my body always want,
" hiie the poor, their walks haunt;
For I'm their meat, and I'm their drink,
While on me the rich doth never think.
/ am nursed and Graded by the poor,
And I'm always sent from the rich mans door;
For the solicitor doth obtain me there,
While I'm his daily meat and fare.
My hsbitation is on this earth,
By man got my birth,
But man my destroyer never shall be,
For when the last man dies I'll be at his knee,
But when the rich come to their death
Then l to their side shall fly;
But the poor man, at his death,
i will resign him as he dies.
For with the rich and poor alike,
In the grave together shall lie;
For from the grave | never can come,
Nor go to heaven, nor in hell make groan.

EDISON OUTDOING HIMSELF.
A Trumpet with which the HUI
man Voice may be Heard
Two Miles Away.

"The TelescopOpohne" Is the name
of Mr.. Edison's latest invention. 1t Is
simply marvellous ear trumpet, upon
the construction of which Mr.. Edison
has been working for several months.
Mr.. EdisOn's attention was attracted e,
the subject by his own dizziness. He il
enabled to hear only when the speaker
enunclates in u loud tone, Mr.. Edison
is 10th to.describe the TelescOpOpOhons
except generally, as 1t is not complei-
ed, and IL to be patented. The i'm.
plement Is about five and a half feet
long, and has an internal arrangement
by which sound Is concentrated and
made louder. A sound which to the
unaided ear Is inaudible, becomes dis
tinct by the US. of the telescOpOpohOne.
Concerning 1t Mr.. Edison said:
A"The telescOpOphOne Ia assuredly
successful. have demonstrated that
by its use not only can those partly
deaf hear, but persons can talk while u
mile or two apart"
"But do not other sounds cOmmingle
sounds intervening between the
speaker and the hearer?"
"Certainly they do to limited ex-
tent, and more SO if the instruments
are not pointed straight"
"HOW do you remedy that?"
"Why, you must point 'em straight.
The same objection could be made to
telescope. Ii you do not point it
straight you see other objects than the
one intended! But, when the teles-
copopohOne is pointed directly at the
distant speaker is the chief thing
heard"
"Does 1t increase the volume of
sound?"
81 have whispered in one of these
things in q very low tone, and the
sound in my ear was so loud as to be
absolutely painfulp'
Mr.. Edison expressed the fullest con-
fidence that he would perfect the tele-
scopopohone so that by its aid partly
deaf persons may hear every whisper
on the stage OF the largest theatre.
A gentlemsn who heard experiments
with the tslescopnpohne said that Mr..
Edison heard distinctly the ticking OF
a telegrephic instrument q thousand
feet away, and even the noise of the
chewing and biting of grass by cow
nearly two thousand feet distant.
One OF the party then stood 600 feet
away, and his whisper was distinctly

only fifteen feet from him, without
the aid OF the telescopopohone, could
not hear word.
Then the party tried a more striking
Two of them went at
least mile of, and talked TO each
other In an ordinary tone of voice.
Even at that distance ordinary COM
versation was distinctly heard without
a speaking tube, without any wire or
apparatus, but simply by the
aid of the new ear trumpet or tele-
But, even this was surpassed by the
next experiment, which was at dis
tance estimated at two miles. From
that point the ordinary tone of voice
could not be- heard, and shouting was
necessary yet the new ear trumpet did
its work, and the hearing was repeated

"Oh," said Mr.. Edison with one of
those hearty bursts of laughter that he

the end yet"

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Death of the Venerable POef--.
Sketch OF His Career.

VIM. Cullen Bryant, the venerable
p0et-editOr, died at his residence, in
New York, on Wednesday, the 18th
inst. lie was born at Cummington,
Mass, Nov. 3, 1894, and his poetic bent
exhibited itself at an early age. His
father, Peter Bryant, possessed high
ly cultivated mind and took great in.
terest in the development of his chill
dren, and was rewarded especially by
the subject of this sketch, who, when
ten years old, had published transla'
tions from the Latin poets. When IA,
his friends Published for him two con.
siderable poems-"The Embargo" q
political satire, and 1.-The Spanish Rev.
olution." "ThanatOpSis," his next
production, was issued when the au'
thor was 19, and 1t still holds its place
in general estimation as one of the
most impressive poems 10 the lam
guage. At Williams College he WAS
distinguished for his attachments in
language and polite literature. In 1916
he was admitted to the bar in Plain.
field, and afterwards removed to Great
Darlington. He attained a high rank
In the local and State courts, but his
tastes Inclined him rather to literature
prose articles to the North American
Review. In 1921 he delivered before
the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Har'
ward College didactic poem on 1.-THE
Ages" His poems were published 10
Cambridge and caused his recognition
as an author Of great merit. Remov'
ing to New York in 1925, he became
editor Of the New York Review, and
in the following year he was engaged
on the Evening Pest, and few years
later obtained exclusive control of its
columns. He was also editor of the
Talisman, a highly successful annual,
published from 1927 to 1880.
In 1882 q complete edition of his
works was published In New York,
and Washington Irving reprinted the
volume In England, with highly
laudatOry preface. From that time
the reputation OF Mr.. Bryant has been
AZ high In Europe as in his own coun'
try. Having associated Wm. Leggett
with himself in the management Of his
paper, he enjoyed three tours of Eu'
rope, and the letters to the Post werel
subsequently published In a book en-
titled "Letters of Traveller" In the
intervals of his European trips he
trAversed all parts Of the United States
and extended his researches into Cuba.
A subs quent visit to the south OF Eu
rope is cOminemorated In his Letters
from Spain and ether countries" In
1864, on the completion OF his seventh
eth year, his birthday was celebrated
at the Centerry Club In New York,
which was attended by nearly all the
prominent men Of the country. In

THE Washington Star indulges in some in :
teresting speculations in regard to the politi-
cal composition OF the next National House
of Representatives. II thinks the investiga-
tion into the election frauds OF 1876 may have
a tendency to procure the return of some Re
publican candidates who would not otherwise
have succeeded, but the Democrats will en-
ter the struggle with many advantages. Their
present majority is 20, even counting General
Butler as Republican. rhe rc-districting
of Missouri and Ohio increases the probable
majority which the Republicans must over
come to more Than 30. The Republicans can
hardly expect great gains in the South even if
they succeed in returning the nine Repre-
sentatives out OF total of SO which they
now have in that section, and must lock to
the Eastern, Middle and Western States for
increased support. From New England there
are now two Republican Representatives AID
six Democratic. Three districts in this sec.
tiOn, representing a decrease Of the Demo
cratic majority by six, may possibly he gain
ed. In the representation of the Middle
States there are 81 Republicans aEd 81 DEM
ocrats, and OF the Western States SO Repub'
licans and SO Democrats. One district, that
of Colorado, is almost certain to be gained
by the Republicans, leaving still dozen or
more districts which the Republicans must
find in these States where Democrats can be
displaced. The Star fails to take into ac-
count the chances for gaining at least three
districts in Pennsylvania, four of the New
districts made nominally Democratic by tho
re districting law.
