Committee, being as Before stated,
seven out of the eight, authorized
Mr.. j. H. Henderson to call the con-
ventiOn to order. He did so, and
the convention was regularly organ
lied under our authority and by our
approval. BY this convention Hon.
n. n. Coz, of Williamson county,
was regularly nominated as the
Democratic candidate for Congress
from the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict.
In the interest of fair dealing. and
in order to maintain that lawful and
orderly proceeding that should
characterize deliberate bodies and
TO maintain the respect and au-
thOritv due to the regular and duly
constituted organization of the
Democratic party, we publish this
as our protest against, and con-
demnatiOn of that proceeding, pur-
porting to nominate another Demo-
cratic candidate. For we believe
the action of Chairman Stewart to
be not only without precedent, but
tiagrant usurpatiOn of that au-
thority lodged alone in the whole
Congressional Committee; and that
his action in refusing to recognize
Mr. Henderson to place in nominal
ton a candidate for temporary
Chairman and his declaration of the
election of Mr.. Cheairs were fragrant
usurpatiOns, arbitrary and revolu-
tionary, by which means Mr..
Cheairs was installed as temporary
Chairman, a position to which he
was not chosen by the delegates.
We hereby announce to the DemOc-
racy of the district that the conven-
ton called to order by J. III. Hender-
son, presided over by r. H. Harvey,
of Lawrence county as temporary
Chairman, and by w. p. Clark, of
Hickman county, as permanent
Chairman, was regular and held
under our authority. 1t followed
the law and usage of our party
organization, and we call upon the
Democrats of the Seventh Congress
siOnal District to accord to the
nominee, Hon. N. n. Cox, their
hearty support.

The MOcking.B Bird.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to enquire
through your valuable journal, IL
any of your correspondents have
heard the mocking-bird singing the
present season. l have not heard
dozen notes from the throat OF a
mocking-bird this year. My atten-
ton was called to the subject by an
article in the Veteran, stating thai
the mocking-bird was in danger OF
being exterminated by nest hunters
pea-shooters, ETC., and pleading for
their protection. / have heard none.
and begin TO fear there are none. ii
we should lose them it would be
calamity. wish to hear from your
many correspondents if any other
locality is more favored than my
own. SEMI
Many of the mocking-birds were
frozen to death in the long con-
tinued cold weather of winter be,
fore last, 1915, when the ground
and plants were locked up In ice
and snow for several successive
weeks.-Ed.

Mr.. Henderson or Mr.. McCorckle
cried out, "All Coo men to the
Bethel House." The majority of
the Cox men retired from the con-
vention. Some Of them remained
and participated in the proceedings.
1t is claimed in the publication of
the eX-committeemen that was in
formed that it was not the desire of
those gentlemen-viz., Henderson,
McCorckle, Berry and Armstead-
that should report to the conven-
ton their purpose, but allow them
to do so themselves if my friends
should decide l ought to hold the
Chair. / pronounce this statement
absolutely untrue. There was no
such statement made to me by any
one. Why should l confer with
them any more when they had an
nounced and repeated an ultimatum
to me? The truth of the business is,
that these gentlemen from William
son county, in my opinion, were
blutfing, and when [ made my re-
port of my conference with my
friends directly to the convention,
they found themselves in this at
titude: either to carry the bluff out,
and proceed to bolt, or acknowledge
to the convention that they had gone
further than they intended. Under
excitement they bolted.
Then we had the absurd spectacle
of a lot of delegates claiming a de-
cided majority boiling minority
And when we reflect that the late
primary election for delegates to the
convention was held under the aus
pices and absolute control of Messrs.
Henderson, Parrish, Walker, Bunch,
Bromley, Grimes and Brown, the
signers of the publication in the
American of the Goth, and the Cox
committeeman in their respective
counties, we have the supremely
ludicrous and ridiculous spectacle of
a lot of political machinists boiling
their own machine. Every one of
the above gentlemen were present in
the convention, and responded with
alacrity to the cry of "All Cox men
to the Bethel Housed" l am in
formed that four of the above-named
ex-committeemen of N. N. Cox were
candidates in their respective dis
tricts for the position of delegates in
CoX's interest to the Congressional
Convention at this place, and were
defeated. Their names are, Bunch
of Giles, Walker of Hickman, Brown
of Dickson, and Parrish of Maury.
Messrs. Henderson, McCorkle,
Berry and Armstead, propagators of
the ultimatum, live in Franklin,
and, l believe, are lawyers, and pre-
sumably are versed in parliament
airy usages. At no stage of the pro-
ceedings did they attempt in the
usual way to rectify any grievance
that they sustained either in fact or
fancy in the election of a temporary
Chairman. They did not appeal
from the decision of the Chair nor
demand the roll-call of the counties.
These were the simple remedies to
apply under the circumstances, but
they made no attempt along this
line. On the other hand, they
mounted the platform and com
menced kicking before one trace was
fairly adjusted.
And now comes a manifesto by a
lot of dead ducks" who died Of
flcially when the convention was
called to order; for it will be re-
membered that this was a delegated
convention, and the functions of the
old committee ceased when the con-

An Official Statement, Signed
by All but One
OF The Democratic Congressional EX-
eXutiye Committee, Declares
Cox TO be the Nominee.
The Action of w. A. Stewart is De-
clared to be fragrant Usurpa-
ton of Authority, Unfair
and Unprecedented.

The following official statement
Congressional Convention at Column
bia, signed by seven of the eight
members of the Congressional Com
mittee for the district, is self-eX-
planatory:-
We, the undersigned members of
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the Seventh Congressional
District, being seven of the eight
thereof, make the following state
ment concerning the attempted or
ganization of the Congressional Con-
vention on the 18th of August, 1896:
Early in the morning of Aug. Is
we all joined in the request to Mr..
w. A. Stewart, the Chairman of the
Committee, that we have meeting
of the committee at 10 O'Clock that
morning in the parlors Of the Bethel
House, in order that we might con-
slder the matter of providing ar
rangements for the temporary or
ganization of the convention. The
request was presented through Mr..
j. H. Henderson, member of the
committee. Mr.. Stewart declined to
grant our request, stating that we
were 700 many for him.
Mr.. Henderson then notified him,
under directions from us, that we
would meet at the time and place
above designated for the purpose of
mended to the convention for tenn
porary Chairman, and of recon-
mending the basis which the vote
should be taken by counties upon all
contested questions that might arise
in the temporary organization of the
convention, and Mr.. Stewart was
invited to this meeting. He in
formed Mr.. Henderson that he would
not meet with us.
We accordingly met and resolved
that we, as seven out of eight of the
committee, would recommend Hon
G.. r. Berry, of Williamson county
for temporary Chairman of the con-
vention, and that on all contested
questions arising on the temporary
organization, the vote, if called for
should be taken by counties, each
comfy being entitled to one vote
for every one hundred and traction
of fifty votes and over cast for the
Democratic Presidential electors in
1892. And we authorized Mr.. Hen
derson to present our recommended.
tions to the convention when il
should be called to order by the
chairman of the committee.
The convention met at II o'clock
M, in the Opera House, and was
called to order by Mr.. Stewart, who
announced that the convention
was ready for business, and asked

vention assembled and their sue
cessors were appointed. The regu-,
lar Democratic Convention elected
Congressional Committee, and the
Cox boilers elected one also. Hence
the gentlemen who sign the COM
munication in the American Of the
Goth exist officially only in their
own imaginations, and have no more
authority in declaring Cox the nom
inee of the Convention than any
other seven citizens would have.
The object of their publication is to
throw dust into the eyes of the pub
lie, but it is of no avail.

To whom 1T may concern:
take pleasure in saying that ! am well
acquainted with Prof. ID. d. Little, of Hay
Long Seminary, Mt. Pleasant.
As a christian gentleman, he has no SUI
perior, and is therefore conscientious,
painstaking teacher. Being young man
full of energy, with correct ideas about
school work, he is bound to succeed where
ever he has the support of his patrons.
As member of the Board OF Directors OF
Hay Long Seminary, l consider it a calam-
ity when we lose Prof. Little. AS an edu-
Gated gentleman, a model disciplinarian,
and an impartial teacher, he deserves the
confidence and support of any community.

The following is a summary of public i'm
provements made by your council during the

| The most important was the step taken for
| fire protection. We obtained permission from
the Calumet and Hocla mining company TO
| tap their calumet Dam water main. and have
laid nearly 5000 feet Of S-inch cast iron pipe
| This we found was the least amount Of pine
| we could get along with and cover the terri
| tory in the village limits with any degree Of
| thoroughness. The pipe has been laid with n
view OF extending. same in different directions
through the village, either for public or priv
ate use, as necessity may require Owing to
the low price of material and the close bidding
| OF the contractors doing the work, we were
| able to make this Improvement at very rca-
sonable figure; about $1,000 berg expended
for this work. In addition TO this should be
added the cost OF ten hydrants, purchased by
the council the previous year, amounting TO
SOL The water IL furnished us free for Rrs
purposes. We have Incorporated The "Volun-
'eer Fire Company" and bought for heir use
900 feet OF fire hose, costing S635 90 hose cart
at cost of sos, and hose sleigh costing SIS.
We have alsoe rected an addition to the Town
