Only one man confesses to any belief

A fair sample of the letters received

CIPHERING 1T OUT.
A. II. Howell of Washington, d. c.,
writes; IF the death rate were 3s per
thousand per year, then in any average
company of 20 persons one would be
apt to die in the year. (The average
would be one out of every 26.) Conse-
quently you can make an even bet that
one out of every company of 10 would
die within a year"
OF course If Is at table are past mid
die age, the chance of one death during
the year comes near probability.

The State Democratic Convention
captured Nashville. From all sec
tions of the State unprecedentedly
large delegations arrived, which
constituted by far the largest con-
vention in the history of the party
in this State. Altogether not less
than $500 delegates represented the
Democracy of Tennessee. The town
was full of them. They overlooked
the hotels, and the boarding-houses
were taxed to their utmost capacity.
Knowing that the hall of the House
of Representatives was not large
enough to accommodate the i'm
mense throng, an attempt was made
to secure the use of the Tabernacle,
but on account of the iron-clad
rule than none but religious as
semblages shall be permitted to use
the Tabernacle, the effort failed.
The silver men were in large ma
jority, and they brought with them
enthusiasm in great quantities.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee met Tuesday night at the
Nicholson, Capt. John w. Childress
presiding, in the absence of Chairman
Carroll. The committee selected
Hon. John A. Upton, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, as tenn
porary chairman of Wednesday,
convention, and ZION. M. G. Fitz-
patrick, of Trousdale, and Robertson
Thomas, of Humphreys for temporary
secretaries.
During Wednesday and Thursday,
various delegations from over the
state met and organized, and named
their committees.

gressional District, Wednesday

was elected Chairman and George II.

Mob Murder,

The citizens of Warren County who
met in McMinnville to condemn the re-
cent lynchings in that county, used
some very strong language, but lam
guage that was not too strong, They
declared that the four lynchings com
mitted were cold-blooded and horrible
crimes, and that the men who perpetra-
ted the crimes were murderers A mob
has no more right to commit murder
than 1t has to commit arson or to steal.
And when mob takes prisoner from
the custody of the law and kills him,
every man in the mob is as guilty of
murder as If he alone took the priso-
ner's life. The crime cannot be atten-
uated by distributing it among the
many. If two men waylay man and
kill him, each is as personally guilty as
though he alone had been the assassin.
The strangest delusion which possesses
the mob is the idea that somehow the
responsibility for the murderous deed
is divided and that in some way each
individual is relieved of the horrible
sin of murder. This is a terrible mis-
take. The blood of the victim is upon
each member of the mob in as solemn
and as guilty a sense as if each member
had with his own hand killed each his
separate man. Perhaps no man in the
Warren County mob would have singly
and alone taken the life of any one o.
the four prisoners if he had met him II
the woods and could have taken his life
without risk. And yet every member
of the mob that took any of those live
was as guilty as if he had waylaid tn,
prisoner in the woods and had delib
erately shot him down.-Nashylll
Banner.

YOUR
ATTENTION.!

We now have what you have been
looking for many years. A remedy
for hog cholera that is a guaranteed
cure and preventative, or it costs
you nothing. We have secured the
exclusive agency for SnOddy's Hog
Cholera Specific. This is the remedy
recently tested at Lynnville, Giles
County, Tenn, under the direct SUI
pervision of committee appointed
by the Giles County Farmers Asso-
citation and proved so successful. The
test was as severe as its results re-
markable. Hogs known to have
cholera were confined some of these
treated with the remedy and cured,
while those not treated died. Other
sound hogs were exposed with the
sick ones and allowed to eat the
vomit; portion of the hogs thus ex-
posed were treated and remained
sound and well, while those not
treated with the remedy contracted
the disease and died.
We will mail you soon full report
of the test duly attested by the COM
mittee.

The State Judicial Democratic
Convention, called to nominate three
candidates for the Court of Chan

ednesday, in the hall OF the House
of Representatives.
The delegates began to gather long
before noon, and when Capt. j. w.
Childress, of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, took the
stand and called the convention to
order the room was filled, every
seat on the main floor and in the
gallery being occupied. In ADDITION
to those seated, the lobbies were
thronged with interested VISITORS.
The delegations were made up mostly
of we'll known men of the state, men
who have long been prominent ng-
ures in the councils of their party,
but there were also present many OF
the younger element of the party
At y o'clock Capt. Childress TOOK
