We took occasion day or two since 10
congratulate our Republican fellow-citizens
upon a marked improvement in their politi-
cal methods, in trying 10 pat Democrat in
nomination for Congress. We are glad 10
have an opportunity of congrstulating them
upon their apparent determination 10 confer
that honor upon gentleman who, in many
particulars, comes quite IS near being a
Democrat as they could select from their
own household. The ring bosses seem
now 10 have harmonized upon Judge
William NJ. Smith, who will most
probably be nominated by their Convention
on Tuesday next despite the opposition of
Ed Shaw and his coIored followers. This is
as it should be, and the white element of the
Republican party will haze the credit of
putting forward a candidate who mas always
opposed the aspirations of those leaders of
the party who were supposed TO be objec-
tionable to the community. When the color
line was attempted to be rigidly drawn
in the August election two years ago,
he, along with few other white
Republican,, firmly opposed the can
didacy of Ed Shaw, and contributed by
his vote and influence to the election of Phil
Athey, thereby giving to Shelby county one
of the best sherifs we have ever had. For
that the people owe him something, and we
are certainly willing that the debt shall be
discharged by giving him the empty honor
OF Republican nomination for Congress.

Ex.eov. mAKks MEMPHIS.


Ex-Gov. A. S. Marks reached this city
yesterday evening at 4:30 o'clock, and Was
received at the depot by a committee selected
for that purpose by the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, and was escorted to the
Peabody Hotel, headed by band of music.
He was most cordially greeted by his
Memphis Friends and they are numerous, IS
he has been true 10 the people of Tennessee
on the battlefield and chief executive of
tellect have made his name a tower Of
strength. He appeared upon the platform
last night about 8 O'Clock, and was intro
duced 10 the audience by l.. II. Estes, chair
man of the County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, in a few well-chosen and
well-spoken sentences. ExGov. Marks
was received with applause, and spoke
for two hours with fine word-force. He
was Immediately en- rapport with the
large audience and held it to the
end. His deep voice suelled to the ut
termosI limits OF the house, and all united
IN the opinion that of the many speeches
that have been delivered in Memphis on the
State-debt question during the past len
year,, none were more mastery and power
full than that made by Gov. Marks last
night. He discussed it in all its phases
and threw a food of new light on
the subject. He showed by the record
that the fret attempt at reputation in
Tennessee was by the Republican party. He
exposed the hypocrisy of the boilers and
Republicans in opposing any settlement
which has not the consent of the creditors,
by showing that both had favored and urged
which the bondholders had not |
only refused to accept, but indignantly re-
jected. The speech of Gov. Marks last night |
strengthened him in the affections of the |
people Of Memphis, where he has always |
been popular. He is one of Tennessee's ia |
vorite Sons. He stands before the people |
as soldier, brilliant as an ora
tor, pure and unspotted as man, and with
a heart which never had a throb that was
not in sympathy with the people.
his whole career be
has evinced the highest order of
intellect, the most chivalrous courage and
the purest private virtues and accomplish
ments, and when such a man makes himself

feel that watchful eye and an honest hard

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
By Universal Accord.


AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efiectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements Of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.

Death OF Philadelphia Negro who
Lived I'm Poverty and Owned
100000.

PHILADELPHIA, September 30.-The Rev.
Joshua Provine Bond Eddy died Monday
morning in the midst OF filth and vermin
in unsightly house at 551 South street,
this city. Eddy was a negro, eighty-f -four
years old, and worth over 100000. He was
known all over the southern portion of the
city as .old man Eddy Money was his
god. He had nothing TO do with his fellow
men. He fed scautiiy, clothed shabbily and
only thought of money. He did not conceal
his money, but invested il in houses and
lands. He owned thirty-seven houses in
different parts of the city, niue in Camden,
two farms in New jersey, some properly in
Frankfort and some at Chester. He was
born a slave in Virginia and learned the
trade of barber in Connellsville, Pa. Sub
seGuently he became a member of the timer
ancy of colored preachers. He was ordained
deacon and went TO New York, where he
was ordained an elder and placed over eight
churches and travelled over the circuit from
Elizabeth, n. j., 10 Mount Holly. During
this time he married Bishop Aliens daUgh-
ter and settled down in Columbia, Pa. This
was in 1920. In addition to his duties a
preacher there, he carried on his trade as q
barber. AfIer a few years spent In Colum-
bia, he came to Philsdelphia and opened a
barber shop in this CRY. He kept at his
trade for a number of years Then came
the turning point in his life. His wife
proved uafaithful and the couple were di-
vorced. Eddy then became a miser. He
had loved his wife, the colored ancieuis say,
and her perfdy broke his heart. He took
no interest in anything but money He
bent all his energies to Its accumulation and
succeeded Not content like other misers In
adding grain after grain to mis- wealth, he
made bold strokes and increased his pile In
Jumps. Houses and lands were cheap then.
He knew that in time their value would in-
crease. He invested his money in this way
and his speculations we're crowned with
success.
