ecutive Committee while in session
the other day, passed resolutions
against allowing the "Independent"
members of the Legislature to sit In

based on sound principles.
The various boards of trade and
other commercial bodies in the State
will make an effort before the next
Legislature to have the State repre-
sented at the Worlds Fair. The sen.
timent which prevailed two years

The lockwood Free Ballot has
nailed the name OF Robt. l.. Taylor
to its masthead and swears by all 1t
holds sacred that he must be elected
United States Senator. This, by the
way, leads to the remark that the
Senatorial fight is getting to be in
teresting. The press in Middle and
West Tennessee seems to take but
little stock in the fight, allowing the
candidates to fight it out In their own
sweet way. Up in East Tennessee,
however, the newspapers are nearly
all for "Bob" Taylor, and II a man
reads all of them he will nearly be
persuaded that Senator Bate will get
very few votes up there. There is no
telling how this fight will terminate,
but some very wise men here in
Clarksville think Senator Bate will
have walkover.

in Graves county, the money to be
paid only II the 100000 is raised
In such some way must the money
be raised, II it is raised at all, unless
the Legislature passes the appropri-
alton bill again. 1t will be strange
IL there are not in the State enough
enterprising men to raise fund suf-
ficient to save the State from the
modification of having to stay at
home for want of party Clothes
where all other States and countries
are gathering together to show what
they have done and can do for them
selves and human progress. Judge
