Malone is out in the long and
blood curdling array of reasons for
his defeat in Virginia. He recites
all the advantages and prosperity
that have come upon Virginia since
the war and credits it all to readjus-
ter rule. He flaunts the bloodiest
shirt that has ever been flung to
American winds, attributing the de-
feat to murders, intimidations,
bribery, kukluxing, and other like in
huences. 1t is too richly ensanguin-
ed even for radical stomach. He
announces that the fight is not yet
over but will be prosecuted next
year "to the DEATH with the aid of
the federal power. II makes de-
cent man ashamed that such rem
egade and demagogue can be found
SR the south. 1t shows the drift of
republican argument" in the next
canvass. 1t is to be more blood
thirsty and denunciatory than ever.
1t will not pan out. There have
been too many northern men down
south this year who will go back
and tell truths that will make liars
of all the Halsteads and Mahones.

The absorbing topic in broad
cloth circles is the speakership can
vass. Randall, Carlisle and Cox
have each expressed satisfaction at
their prospects. They have suites
of parlors at their hotels in Wash
ington and are wining and dining
at a prodigious rate. Indications
point to the election of Randall.
He is not the high-tariff protection
list some would make you believe.
His ideas exactly accord with the
old-time democratic policies and
seem to US wise and judicious.
The abolishing of the internal reve-
nue. system and laying of imposts
only sufficient to meet government
expenditures, laid on such articles
as require in their infancy to be
protected FROM foreign competition,
is q system at once wise and safe.
Especially so in this emergency,
when democrats are divided in
opinion and policy and republicans
are seeking to push or aggravate
them into rash measures. The
chances are, and we hail it as the
best course to pursue now, that the
tariff will be suffered to rest for the
present until the democracy gets
it's furniture arranged in its new
house.

1860. He has been a travelling
preacher, indeed, but he is now on
Trinity circuit, in the southern and
southwestern portion of Giles, in q
few miles Of the home of his boy
hood. Last year he was very sue
cessful in revival work on the
Southport circuit.
Rev. S. NJ Cherry, Bigbyville
circuit, has been effective in confer
ence Ior twenty eight years. Only
kept one Sunday from the pulpit by
sickness in fifteen year.. Circuits
travelled in Tennessee: Rock
Creek, Rich Valley, Stones River,
Nolensville, Bethesda, Richland,
Mt. Pleasant and Spring Hill. Sta
tions in the conference: Lewisburg,
Winchester and Harpeth, in Ten
nessee; Decatur, West Huntville
and Valley, in North Alabama.
-Four years chaplain in the confed
crate army.
Rev. Jerome B. Anderson, Mt
Pisgah circuit, begins the thirtieth
year OF his ministerial life near the
scenes of his boyhood, like the two
last named, he was converted and
began to preach in Giles county,
long known as the hive of the
Tennessee Conference He was
presiding elder seventeen years
ago, and then filed good circuits
and stations in the GAINESVILLE dis
trict for some years. For twelve
years he has been on various
charges in Giles county, two years
professor in Giles College, and on
the Spring Hill circuit in Maury
county. His ability in the pulpit
is recognized as superior wherever
he is well known.
Rev. Robertson L. Pagan. Pleas
ant Valley Circuit, was one of ouI
most efficient itinerants twenty
years ago. He was presiding elder
for several years. Very popular
and successful on the Prospect
circuit for six years of more. He
has been on nearly every circuit in
Giles county during the past TWEEN
ty-two years. His exact age in the
conference l do not know, but ]
presume it is not far from forty
years.
Rev. James r. Plunmer, Culleo-
ka station, belongs to the renowned
class of 1874, which furnished more
influential men, who chung more
closely to the effective list than any
class of itinerants in the history OF
our conference. He was presiding
elder of the Huntsville district in
1S59-62, then stationed at Murfrees-
boro, Lebanon, Franklin, Clarks-
vile and Park avenue and Foster
street, Nashville. Also president OF
the conference female colleges at
Murfreesboro and GAINESVILLE.
Rev. Joseph B. West, d. D., Co
lumbia station, now enters his for
tieth year in the itinerancy. He,
too, belongs to the celebrated class
of 1916. Has also been president
of the same colleges mentioned, and
has just closed his quadrennium at
the McKendree church, Nashville,
has also served as presiding elder,
and there are not more than two OF
three preachers to compare with
him in pulpit ability in the Tennes-
see conference. Truly the district
is well manned.
This is the centenary year OF
American Methodism. Columbia
district should be the banner dis
trict of the Tennessee conference at
our next session. Bigbyville cir
cult, the banner charge of the dis
trict, should be the sill of the
workers OF this charge.

The Chattanooga Times says of
the new town OF. Sheffield which is
to be built by prominent southern
capitalists on the south bank Of the
Tennessee river, three miles from
-Tusenmbia: "The location of the
town is surprisingly beautiful. 1t
stonds on plateau $50 feet above
the banks of the river. The waters
flow clear and placid at its base,
and can be seen for many miles. it
Is at the head of the lower Tennes-
see. and is backed by one of the
finest agricultural and grain sec
lions in the south. Lying at the
end of the blue grass valley, it will
be the entrepot for the rich stores
from that fertile region. 1t is full
ly eight hundred feet above the
level of the sea, and the health is
excellent. It looks proudly down
ON Florence and Tuscumbia, and
from its lofty perch has the broad
expanse of the Tennessee Valley
heiore it for many miles. The wa
fer power is surpassed only by Nj
ngara, having the full power of
Mussel Shoals. Coal and iron at
hand in inexhaustiblc quantities,
and its railroad facilities in a short
time will be all that is desired"

1t will be observed that nearly all
the exposition cotton prizes went to
Mississippi. The same man took
second premium on both long and
short staple. 1t was not fair to al
low Mississippi to show her short
staple against ours. She ought to
have been limited to her peculiar
crop of long staple and not permit
ted to show her short staple against
ours. We imagine that if it had
been known that we were to COM
pete With Pamela county, Miss,
there would have been no cotton
sent from here. Louisville sent all
the big prizes into a country that
never trades with her and cheated
a people who do trade largely there
out of even a chance to win.
