JOHNNY VERTREEs, Dear Sir-Judge
of the rankest type. 1t is even charged
that he favored the 1908 iniquity. He
was furthermore a railroad attorney,
worked for the defeat of "our candi-
dates for Railroad commissioners"
during the last campaign and lobyed
with the Legislature for the repeal of
just awful when compared to that of a
simon pure Democrat like you, John
ny. Why did you allow the President
to appoint him to an important office
in this State? Was the Bayardic in
fluence too much for you?

THE Nashville Banner failed to see
that the Jackson Tribune and Sun

months for the past ten years, or long

Gov. BATE estimates IN his message
that a judiciary reform law passed by
the present Legislature will save the
taxpayers of Tennessee $4,000 in
the matter of Judges salaries alone

the kind OF legislation we pine for, and
we heartily join the governor in hop
ing "that local and personal view will
be made to yield to the superior de-
mands OF the public good"

A Merited Compliment.

Rev. John p. McFerrin, the popular
and successful pastor of EInl-street
Church, yesterday received letter
from Y. w. Huddlestone, secretary OF
the faculty, informing him that Hiwas-
see College had conferred upon him
the degree of Doctor of Divinity. This
compliment was bestowed as mark
of appreciation of DIR. MeFerrin's learn
ing and his distinguished services in
religious work. There are few men in
the church who can wear the title with
more honor than this recipient.

SINCE the enacting of the "bloodlest
picture in the book of time" when
"Sarmatia fell, unwept, without a
crime" the history of the Polish Peo-

Now we read in the foreign dispatches
that those who have long had refuge
from Russian oppression in Germany
are, at the request of the Gar, being
forced to return to their unhappy ma
tive land.

a NEW INDUSTRY.

We have in abe CHRoxIcLE office a
lot OF chemicals, sent us by gentle
man in Centerville, which are speci-
meEs of new industry recently be-
gun in Hickman county. The chem
icals are different grades of methylie
alcohol, distilled from timber. The
process OF their preparation was fully
described in letter from Centerville,
published in the CHRoSIcLE two weeks
ago.
The industry is conducted by the
Standard Charcoal Company. Most Of
the capital is eastern, although the
Warner Furnace Company, and per-
haps some Others, have stock in it. DIR.
Pearce, the president, was at one time
professor in New York university.
Besides making wood spirits by distil-
latiOn, The company makes superior
coal. They have small furnace, built
at cost of about $500, with capacity
of from one and a bali to four tons a
day. By using the waste gas from the
retorts and a small amount of the coal
make as one of the products, they
made a very superior and cheap char
coal iron. Birmingham sought to
have this industry located in the live
Alabanla town, but the timber would
not answer. 1t is expected to work
a revolution in the making of charcoal
iron. ad
A railroad from this city to iDick-
son Station, would bring Clarksvilie
very near to the locality where this
industry is conducted. Probably the
opening up OF the iron country be-
tween here and Dickson might start
some enterprise OF the kind in our
very midst.

Springfield Record: Rev. DIR. A. d.
Sears, of GAINESVILLE, occupied the pull
pit of the Methodist church, this place
Sunday night. His text was taken
from xxi chapter, 18th and the 18th
verses of Revelations-the last words
that God ever spoke to the world. His
remarks were intensely interesting.
This old patriaeh, lingering on the
very verge of the grave, has lost none
of the ardor he possessed in his young
manhood He is feeble in frame but
strong in the Lord. HIS labors are
nearly ended, and soon he will go to
his reward. Our people, regardless of
creed or Sect entertain high apprecia-
tive feelings for this venerable divine.

incidentally from plan devised by the
late Judah p. Benjamin, to secure the
transfer of such bonds to the bona fde
