WHAT IS DEMOCRACY P
County Committee Meets Tomorrow to
Settle This Important Question.

The County Democratic Executive
Committee will meet tomorrow at
West Il Burney's office to discuss ques.
tions and decide things.
The first and most important ques-
ton will be to decide what is Democ-
racy, and then proceed accordingly.
That is a hard nut to crack these mys-
terious times, considering the various
views held 10y factions all claiming to
be simon pure. Perhaps Wat. Pierce's
definition of the term Democracy
may aid the committee in defining the
principle to the satisfaction of all, and
this, too, was old time Andy Johnson
Democracy in the day of Democracy
and Whigery.
1t was at the close of that famous
campaign when Andy johnson defeat
ed Maj. Henry, the eagle orator of Ten
nessee and the pride of Clarksville,
for governor, a result so unexpected
that it astonishet everybody and set
the Democrats to rejoicing. When
the news was received Wat. Pierce
mounted his old horse and went gall
Looping over the town waving his hat
about his head, hurrahing at the top
of his voice for Democracy, to the
great disgust of the Wings. Finally
w. r. Bringhurst, Sr,, a red hot Whig,
overcome with indignation, called
Pierce to him, and put to him this in
terogatOry; Say, Wat, do you know
what Democracy means? ?" Wat
scratched his head in deep thought
for moment, and then exclaimed
"Yes, do" "Well, what ?" queried
Mr.. Bringhurst. "Why, sir, it means
for every man to do as he may id
please and spurring his horse the
way he went, hurrahing for Andy
Johnson and Democracy. Mr.. Bring
hurst accepted the explanation as per
| fectly satisfactory, and for long year:
after that he voted the Democratic
| ticket. The LEAF-CHRoNICLE gives
the committee this version of the
term, believing that it will meet the
views of large majority, and result
in preserving perfect harmony in al
| of its deliberations.

MASONIC RELIC.
Something That Brings Up Mem.
cries of the Past.
A Copper Plate Taken From the Corner
Stone of the Old Masonic Temple
Built in 1925.

There is curious relic on exhi
bition to day at Kincaunon, Son &
Co.'s store on franklin street that is
attracting much attention from mem
bers OF the Masonic fraternity. 1t is
a copper plate about 5x8 inches, and
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
corrOded somewhat by age, the in
scriptions stand out in clear relief.
On one side of this plate the follow
ing inscription appears:
1.-THE Right Wor-hipful wilkins
Tennehill, Grand Master Ofthe State
of Tennessee; the r, w. Mathew G.
Cooper, E. G. M; the r. w. VIM. r.
Kennedy, s. g. W.; the r. w. VIM.
G. Hunt, j. G. W."
On the opposite side the following
appears:
"Wm. Williams, w. M; f. H.
Steele, s. w; P. Priestly, j. w. OF
Montgomery Lodge No. 10. Adam
Bratton, principal architect.
"This corner. Stoue Of a Masonic
lodge for the use of Montgomery
County Lodge No. 10, in the town of
Clarksville, was laid July 10, A. l..
5,825, A. d. 1926"
The two inscriptions contain first
the names of the officers of the Grand
Lodge of the State, and second the
officers of the local lodge.
The lodge building occupied the lot
on which the Episcopal rectory now
stands, and was destroyed during the
war. 1t is said that the money that
was put in the receptacle with the
above mentioned plate was stolen by
Federal soldiers when the corner
stone was taken up. The plate was
preserved, however, and will no
doubt be put in the cornerstone of
the new Masonic Temple, which will
soon be erected at the corner of
Third and Commerce streets. 1t is a
relic that will biud members of the
order to the past, and bear as testi-
mony to early Masonry in Clarks-
vile.
The S3rd Illinoisan, periodical
published here in 1865 by members
o! the S3rd Illinois regiment-Federa
troops-contains an account of the
removal of this cornerstone, and it
was done just about this time of
year.
There is q marked contrast between
the Clarksville of that date and the
ClarksvilIe Of to day. Comment,
however, is unnecessary.

The Confederate Monument.

The Clarksville people, ever gener-

to erect a beautiful monument over
the graves of the Confederate dead.
Plans have been submitted and are

MILITARY MATTERS.
A Rousing Meeting of the Clarks-
vile City Guards.
A Committee Appointed to Get Straight
After Members Who Refuse to At
tend Drills-New Uniforms.

The Clarksville City Guards held
a rousing meeting at the armory last
night and transacted considerable
business. II was the regular drill
night, but they looked more to the
business of the company than to 60
ing through the tactics.
The first business was that OF
voting on the application of George
Dye, who wanted to join the com.
pany. He was unanimously accept.
ed.
G. A. Leigh and j. l.. Hodgson
were appointed committee to visit
the members who fail to attend drills.
There are forty-three names on the
roll and only about twenty attend
the drills regularly. There seems to
be notion among them to the effect
that joining a military company is
about equivalent to joining singing
school, and that they can come and
60 as they please and still be mem
ber, of the company. In this they
make mistake as will be shown
them by the committee. This com.
mittee is instructed to read the con-
stitution and bylaws to the members
who do not show up at drill and
give them one more chance to re-
deem themselves. Then If they
still stay away their names will be
sent. to the headquarters for dishon-
orable discharge. This means gen.
tlemen, that you will be black-lsted
so far as military matters are con-
cerned in Tennessee and you will
not be deemed reliable enough to
have your names put on the muster
roll. A military company is no
plaything as you will see by reading
the constitution and bylaws govern
ing one,
A committee of five was appoint
ed to assist the citizens committee in
raising money to purchase new uni
forms for the company. This COM
mittee is composed of Clay Stacker,
chairman; p. G. Dibble, r. III.
Poindexter, G. X. Barnes and Chas.
Kincannon. The citizens committee
is composed of Mike Savage, @. II.
Bailey and e. II. Peck.
The boys want new uniforms for
the May encampment at Memphis,
and judging from the tenacity with
which they are holding ON to the
work they will get it.
A proposition was made the COM
pany by several patriotic ladies of
the city to get up benefit supper.
This was referred to committee
composed of P. G. Dibble, r.. III.
Poindexter and Chas. Kincannon.
AS will be seen by the official call
elsewhere the company will attend
Easter services at Trinity church
Sunday in body. 1t is very much
desired that full attendance OF
members be had at the armory sun
day morning at 1890 o'clock. This
service will be an impressive and
beautiful one, and the military COM
pany attending in body will be
quite an attractive feature.

IN TWO STATES.
Items of Interest in Tennessee
and Kentucky.
Something That Will Interest the People
of the Great Clarksville Tobacco
District.

The board of managers of the
Springfield Planning Mill Company
expect to have their mill in operation
by the middle of May. An effort is
being made to place an electric light
plant at the planning mill, and in the
event this succeeds, Springfield will
have electric lights on her principal
streets. J. T. Edwards, of Erin, who
will superintend the mill, is at
Springfield now making ready to put
the plant in operation.
The Record notes the presence in
Springfield of Miss Annie Sadler, of
Guthrie, and Miss Lizzie Wartield,
of Sadlersvil'
The marriage of R. M. Watkins, of
Chattanooga, and Miss Florence
Garner, of Springfield, is announced
to take place April 20, at the resi-
dence of the BRIDES father, Hon. A.
E. Garner, of Springfield.
w. III. Frey, very popular young
man, died recently near Keysburg,
Ky. He had wide circle of friends
that will receive this news with
much regret.
They have politics over in Logan
county just like they do in some
Tennessee counties, and it seems that
"snap methods" have been brought
into play likewise. The committee
met at Russellville few days ago,
and without notice or warning of any
kind, appointed May for primary
election to select candidates for
county offices. There seems to be
much indignation at the snap action
of the committee and this leads the
Herald to remark that it savors very
much of the machine politics.
There is little doubt that giving
the Vanderbilt training school to
Elkton has worked good all around.
Guthrie immediately after its defeat
went to work and got a diff rent
school. Now Auburn, who was in
the race for the Vanderbilt school,
has come to time, closing contract
for the establishment there of train
ing school for Cumberland Univer-
sity at Lebanon, Tenn. Auburn
gave the University its school build
ing worth $1,000 to locate the school
there. This gives Methodist school
at Elkton, Baptist school at Guth-
rie and a Cumue land school at Au-
burn, and it all grew out of the fight
for the Vanderbilt school. In addi-
tion to this Hopkinsville may take
fresh courage from the success of her
little neighbors and build a school
house, after all.
The young man who committed
suicide at the depot at Shelbyville,
KY, about two weeks ago, accord
ing the Russellville Herald, has been
partially identified as the son of Rev.
w. W. Gardner, formerly pastor of
the Baptist church at Russellville.
The Bowling Green city council
has passed law excluding itinerant
doctors from practicing in that city.
A good law.
