the nomination of Folger last night from

convention which the people elected at the

coldly, formal manner can the result of their
treason procured by fraud be recognized by
the party AS binding upon it. In the Law of

there is some such clause, too, in the
moral law which governs honest mems con-

The Cincinnati Commercial say


In the controversy between Bishop
Gilmour and Mr.. Edward Cowles, Of
the Cleveland Leader, the Bishop had
the indiscretion to discuss, publicly,
the private family affairs of the editor,
making charges for which the latter
promises to hold him responsible in
a suit for libel. The Bishop must
have been driven 10 close quarters, or
be would never have so violated the
proprieties of life as to invade the
domesticity of Mr.. Cowles' family in
the manner he has done. Thousands
who care nothing about the contro
versy will be greatly prejudiced against
the Bishop on account of his exoep-
tional conduct in the matter. Even
should he succeed in Court in making
good his accusation of i'll treatment Of
Mr.. COwles' daughter by the father,

have regard for the sanctity of the do
nestle relation. His intrusion there

Matrimonial Societies Not In

NASHVILLE, Tenn. July7.
Attorney General B. ]. Lea has
given the following opinion touching
matrimonial associations in this State:
ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE, !
STATE oP TENNESSEE.
NASHVILLE, July7. }
Hon. NJ. 7. POLL, Treasurer and Commission
Dear Sir-In your circular of July
1st, in regard to matrimonial and
nuptial associations, the attention of
Attorney Generals is called to the fact
that in the opinion of the Attorney
General of the State such associations
are acting in open violation of the law.
In conversation in your Office few
days before the issuance of the circu-
lar, you stated that you intended to
issue circular calling attention to the
law making it the duty Of the district
Attorney General to prosecute all
persons doing insurance business with
out having complied with the law;
and thereupon suggested that with
reference to these associations, you
write to one or more OF the
Attorney Generals in East Tennessee
to get ready for a hearing at the Sep
tember term OF the Supreme Court,
Knoxville, so that the question as to
their liability could be judicially de-
termined. [ have never investigated
the subject, but had great respect for
your opinion in regard to the duties of
your. office, and therefore desired to
test the case. Since the issuance of
your circular | had been urged 20
look into the subject, and have done
so, and after such investigation, my
opinion is that these associations are
not insurance companies, and are not
liable uuder the act of the Legislature
offered March "a, 1875, entitled
an act to regulate the business of fire
and all other except life insurance
companies. The participant is to re-
ceive such a sum of money upon the
happening of certain event. The
amount is to be raised by assessment,
but if the members fail to pay the
assessment neither they norVhe COM
pany are liable to suit for such fail.
ure. The principle upon which the
organizations are based is somewhat
like that of the Knights of Honor,
which order has been held by several
of the State courts not to be an in
suranoe company. | am satisfied
your action in the matter has been
prompted only by desire to protect
the State and to faithfully discharge
your duty. Respectfully,
BEN j. LEA, Attorney General.

How the Memphis Appeal Took
Its Name and start,

Its Name and start.
The following interesting reminis-
cence is taken from the Franklin
Review and Journal, a paper estab
lished in 1922:
Oar excellent young friend, DR.. w.
G. Rogers, now of Jackson, Miss,
recently formed the Acquaintance OF
Preston Hay, Esq, an old gentleman
of that place, who was once a citizen
of Franklin and Clerk of the Circuit
Court of Williamson county, just pre-
ceding the first election Of the late
Rev. Mark L. Andrews, who served in
the position so long. Mr.. Rodgers
reports to us the following talk of Mr..
Hay, which we give to the readers Of
the Review and Journal with pleas,
ure:
The only newspaper published in
Franklin then was the Westero
Weekly Balance, owned and edited by
Henry Van Pelt. Though little can
be said of the paper something is due
to the memory of Mr.. Van Pelt. He
had many difficulties to contend with,
and though quite a young man in 1927
he was the victim of many bad habits
which Obscured and rendered useless
his 6ne intellect. His paper and all
his effects were sold by the Sheriff in
1881. The bright and talented Van
Pelt became homeless wanderer for
several years. In 1910 he showed a
disposition to reform and became an
attache of the Nashville Union, where
he distinguished himself as a man OF
marked ability. He had assurances
from the Democrats that il
successful in that campaign
he would be we'll provided
for; but the result was adverse to his
wish and those of his party. He came
to me as a personal friend, although
we differed in politics, to tell me that
his prospects were blasted aud that he
knew not in what direction to turn,
He said that a proposition had been
made for him to establish at Memphis,
Tenn, a Democratic paper, but that he
doubted their ability to do so. | sym

HOME AGAIN.
The Victorious Chicks Arrive
end Bring the Qusps as
Guests.

The Chickasaw Guards arrived at
the Louisville 4 Nashville depot be-
tween five and SIX yesterday evening,
accompanied by the Quapaw Guards
of Little Rock. The latter had ac-
cepted an invitation to lay over one
day here and receive the hospitalities
of the city.
Both companies had an ovation. At
the depot they we're met by
the Porter Guards and their
associates, the Light Guards; also
a squad of the Chicks made up Of
members who could not go to Louis
vile and Indianapolis. A large crowd
of citizens Of all castles and shades had
collected to welcome the conquering
heroes, and brass band discoursed
sweet music, while the whistles of the
steamers in the harbor blew continu-
GUS blasts, using up at least two hun
dred barrels of coal to make steam for
the din they raised.
The soldiers marched down Main
street under escort and amid the
plaudits of thousands of spectators.
Cannons doomed and rockets fixed.
Flags Auttered everywhere and no such
enthusiasm has been manifested here
in coons age, if not longer. Every
body seemed wild with delight.
Upon reaching the Peabody hotel,
President Hadden made one of his
characteristic speeches, offering to
pay all the expenses of the Quapaws
during their stay, unless others wished
to come to his assistance. Then he
invited the two companies into the
Peabody to supper at Landlord Gallo
ways expense. At least that inter-
probation was put upon the motions Of
Mr.. Hadden's lips and the gestures he
made. The huzzas and the howl.
kept his words from being heard
After the meal the soldiers all went to
the Chickasaw armory, where dozen
baskets Of wine were opened
Captain Carnes made a speech
so did Captain Waldrsn and Captain
Waters, of the Quapaws. Captain
Carnes provided for the comfort o
Captain Waters and then went hom,
half sick, telling the boys to look afte
and attend to their visiting guests, tn,
gallant and good looking "Quaps."
During the evening and early hour
of the night and to-day the QuapaV
Guards strolled about the city visiting
various places of interest, and thi
afternoon they take their departur,
