cuse of Dr.. Emory, the son of Gen. William
Emory, retired officer of the army, resid-
ing in Washington. There is an interesting
| story In connection with this fact. In 1926,
over halfa century ago, when Gen. Emory
entered the Military Academy at West
Point as a cadet, Jefferson Davis was in the
senior class. Young Emory was in delicate
health and weak physically, while Davis
was giant in strength. In the numerous
qusrrels and difficulties into which the un-
fortunate pebe is forced young Emory
found q warm defender in the strong arm Of
Davis, whose tenderness of heart was equal
to his bravery and strength. After the boys
left West Point they were separated for
many years, and even though they fought
on opposite sides their friendship never
waned. and was continued in after life by
the children OF the old West Point chums.

One thing is to DO noted just now. There
Is really no cause or very little, for the dis.
content of which Mr. George talks. The
laboring men-the man who uill hold him
self different from everybody else because
he labors with his hands-has better time
| and better chance in this country than he
has anywhere else in the world He is OBJ
llged, of course, to deal with men who try
TO buy his labor as cheap and to sell it as
dear as they can. But in this his case is
the same as that OF all the rest of mankind.
He is no worse of than the clerk, the book.
keeper, the policeman, and the farmland
no worse OIL than the clergyman, the editor,
or Inc saiarled Government official. Ifthese
men make more money than he does-and
they very often make less--it is because
they are more intelligent, more jealous in
doing their duty, more willing to learn,
more ambitions to live we'll and to gain po.
sltlon In the community, and above all, be.
cause they keep clear OF unions and set for
themselves like manly men.

ALEX ANDRI-A.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER II.

TIE AVERAGE duty imposed upon the
necessaries Of life by the existing tariff is
over forty per cent By that tariff, there
fore, it is plain TO be seen that the price of
those necessaries is nearly doubled. The
forty cents that have been added to every
dollars worth of those necessaries that the
people of this country have consumed dur.
ing the many years that have elapsed since
the adoption of the present protective tariff,
should, if the protective idea be correct,
certainly, by this time, have been amply
sufficient to establish all the protected in
dustries upon basis as firm as the rock of
ages, and to have made them so prosperous
that employees therein would now be expe-
rencng all the blessings that are within the
reach OF those who, under natures law, have
to earn their bread by the sweat of their
faces. But, instead of that, the proprietors
OF the protected mines and factories are still
bawlng for more protection, and their en-
ployees are disconnected, and ere on con.
tinual strikes. AS hardly any change in
the tariff could produce worse effects than
these that have resulted from the present
system, and as at least half the people of
the country are demanding revenue tariff,
it would seem that at least trial Of the lat
ter system would not be unwise.

counter marched TO the Metropolitan Hotel.
From the time the procession left the depot
until it halted in front of the hotel, the line
of its march was brilliantly illuminated with
all manner of fire works. The procession
was large, and contained many Transparent

full Marine Band, and the sidewalks along
the route were crowded with enthusiastic
spectators. The front of the hotel was

In East.Tennessee as the sun went down !;
They watched with concern events of each

For men must work and women must smile,
Some clouds are dark as the river Nile,
Though the sea seem fair and cleaning.
Two candidates welcomed election day
As the morning dawned-as the sunlight

Democracy shouted "for Bob make way
Republicans mourned "Alas, we have

To elect our Governor once in while,

state of things is not the best for

concerned at least.

kind heavenly Father has only taken
her to himself where sickness and
death never come.
