Renting ViOlins.

Violins are among musical instruments
that are rented. They are hired by visit.
ors to the city, by students and by profes
sional players. The visitor may be a pro.
fessional player-he Is more likely to be an
amateur-perhaps from Europe OF some
other distant part of the world who has
brought no instrument with him and now
has occasion to play at the house Of friends
whom he is visiting He can hire an in.
strument for any length of time he may
desire.
Students of music and beginners who
may not want to invest in good violin
until they know whether they will follow
music sometimes hire violin. II they
finally purchase it, the rent is allowed as
a part of the purchase money. Profession.
al players sometimes hire fine instru-
ment with the understanding that the rent
shall apply upon the purchase. The rent
OF violin depends OF course upon its val.
ne. For 50. 90 month one gets an instru.
ment valued at $50; for sl5 a month, an
Instrument valued at 5000 to 81, 900. New

stage. They were delegates to the
convention and entitled to seats in
the convention hall; but certainly
all the delegates were not entitled to
the platform set apart for the chair
man and secretaries, and Col. Cox's
leaders no more so than the hum
blest delegate on the floor. These
"leaders" lost their heads; that is
the size of it; they were not only out
OF order but out of place, and an
honest confession would be good for
their souls. The action of the police
their promptness, fairness and fear
lessness in the discharge of their
duty, is about the only thing about
that miserable middle that the
HERALD can unqualifiedly endorse.

COX AND WHITTHORNE.
The State Executive Committee will
Settle Their Dispute.
Both sides VIII he Given Fair Hearing,
and the Matter Einally Set
tied on the 22nd.


The State Democratic Executive
Commute met yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. A full representation
was present in person or by proxy.
The chief purpose of the meeting
was to take action with reference to
the Cox hitthOrne contest in the
Seventh District and to try to adj
just the condition of affairs prevail
ing in the Eighth District.
All of the afternoon was spent in
discussing the Seventh District mat
ter and attempting to arrive at a
proper way of reaching an inve stiga-
ton. A large number of the people
of the district were at the hotel and
any news from the committee was
eagerly discussed.
The principals and their attorneys
were admitted to the committees
proceedings. The attorneys were
w. l.. Granbery, E. H. Hatcher, g.
II. Hughes and John Williamson, for
Mr.. Whitthorne, and Messrs. M. H.
Meeks and John II. Allen for Mr..
Cox.
After discussing several resolu-
tions the following was adopted last
night:
ReSoLUed, first, that the Chair appoint
a committee of three to investigate and
report to the full committee the facts
relating to the contested nomination
in the Seventh Congressional District,
wherein Hon. n. n. Cox and Hon. w. j .
Whitthorne each claim the nomination
and have left to the State Executive
y 20 70 h fol, t. tn
of the party in said district, and to this
end said sub committee is authorized to
adopt such mode of procedure as in
their judgment will enable them to
reach the true facts in the case, subject
to the resolution hereinafter set out, so
that the full committee can intelligent
ly decide the question submitted to it.
Resolved, second, that each claimant
for the nomination, on or before Sept.
10, at p. m, shall file with said sub
committee written specifications of his
claim to the nomination, as well as the
grounds for his contention. Said speci-
tications shall fully, definitely and spe-
officially set out the case of the claim
ant to the nomination, and said sub
committee shall not consider any mat
ter not definitely covered by said writ
ten specifications, each of which shall
be considered an issue without reply
thereto.
\ResoIUed, third, that the committee
complete its investigation and report to
the full committee on the 22nd day OF
September, 1896, at II O'clock, IN.
ReSOLUed, fourth, that said sub-com-
mittee may adopt such other rules OF
procedure as they may deem proper fol
the investigation.
The committee appointed consists
of Messrs. j. G. Aydelotte, of the
Fourth District, w. o. Vertrees, OF
the Sixth District, and William
Caswell, of the Second District. The
committee will hold its first session
| tomorrow night,

BOTH sides have submitted their
claims and the State Democratic
Executive Committee have under
consideration the differences grow
ing out of the recent Congressional
convention. All Democrats should
begin now to make up their minds
to abide by the decision of the COM
mittee. We believe, under all the
circumstances that the man from
Maury will be declared the nor1i-
nee; but whether he is or is not, the
HERALD will abide by the decision
of the committee and support the
nominee. Arch Hughes must be de-
feated and free silver must win in
this district. Don't allow your pas
sions, your friendship or your pre-
judices to lead you to forget that,

The Blight of the Gold Standard.

According to r. G. Dunn IL Co.'s finan-
cial report for the week ending Aug. 30,
there were 2SS failures in the United
States for the week ending that date.
There were only 1856 during the CORE
spending week last year. For three
weeks, ending Aug. 20, the amount is
$50, 742, 2S5, against $6,5l9,395 in 1895, and
these figures do not include the recent
enormous Hilton failure The increase
is most appalling and shows how the
gold standard demoralizes business and
causes labor to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ga

A BIG BANK FAILURE.
The Union National of New Orleans,
Closes it's Doors.

=,
Closes it's Doors.
The Union National Bank of
New Orleans, failed last Wednesday.
1t was the oldest bank in the city
and had always stood high in the
confidence of the public, until lately
there was some uneasiness felt and
depositors began gradually to with
draw.
The date of it's last report the bank
showed liabilities to depositors had
decreased from $1,371 1886 to $7O4, OPT.
Aside from its capital stock and de-
posits on July IA the bank had liza
bilities of $4,000. To other banks
and miscellaneous accounts of $685.
$50. Its total assets were $l,887, OPP,
of which 1904, 1863 were loans and dis
counts, $780,, 900 overdrafts and $685.
600 stock and securities.
Comptroller Eckells directed Bank
Examiner Johnson to take charge
of the failed institution, and in a
few minutes received a telegram
from him saying that the President
of the bank explained that the sus-
pension was due to a defalcation.

the name of the guilty official was

THE County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee acted wisely in sug-
costing to the civil districts that
they send uninstructed delegates to
the legislative convention, to meet
here tomorrow week, Saturday,
September 10. OF course this sug-
gestion is not binding upon the dis
tricts, but being good suggestion it
will doubtless be generally followed.
Democracy must have in this coun-
ty clean and popular legislative
ticket in order to bring out large
vote. Another mistake or two, and
our already small majority-made
small by the plumbers of conventions
and committees and leaders-will
have entirely melted away. Let's
discard all personal ambitions and
prejudices one time and nominate a
ticket that will reflect credit upon
the party and truly represent the
interests of the people.

IN the controversy between Col.
Cox and Capt. Whitthorne, the
HERALD has taken the side of
neither. We have not criticised or
commented upon the cards written
by the partisans of either side. But
there is one question the friends of
Col. Cox continue to harp upon,
we wish to notice; and that is the
attacks they make upon the Column
bia police force. The simple truth
is that the police did their duty
promptly, impartially and fearless
ly. They were there to preserve the
peace, and they did it; and without
them the peace would not have been
preserved. They as peremptorily
ordered the Whitthorne men off that
stage as they did the Cox men. The
difference was that the Whitthorne
men, knowing the officers, and know
ing that they had to obey, obeyed
while the Cox men, not knowing the
officers, refused at first to obey and
compelled the officers to proceed to
take step further towards enforc-
ing their orders. The police were
prompt, energetic and positive, but
no more so than the urgency of the
occasion required. The gentlemen
who complain so bitterly of being
put off the stage, had no right on the

THE legislature convened in extra
session last Monday. Gov. Turney's
message reads like one of his old
time opinions, it is so clear and con-
else, and there WILDE few who read
to doubt the necessity for the extra
call. 1t is very evident the rheu-
matism has not reached the Govern
or's brain yet. Whatever may have
been his mistakes in appointments,
for personal integrity, for honesty of
purpose and for clear judgement up
on state matters, Governor Turney's
administration will stand as proud
monument to his memory and a
credit to the party honoring him.

TT is reliably given out and very
generally believed that the pric e
paid or to be paid John Hugh Nc
Dowell for preventing a fusion in
Tennessee between the Democrats
and Populists on the electoral tick
ct, is that he, Mcdowell, shall re-
ceive the support of the Republicans
in the ninth district for Congress.
Will the Populist ranks, like dumb
cattle driven, submit to being thus
traded off? Will they risk the posi-
BILE chance of losing Tennessee for
Bryan, to the hazardous under
taking of sending John Mcdowell to
Congress? Populists of Maury and
other counties ought to call mass
meetings and rebuke this selfish
exercise of little brief authority
How strange that the Populists will
continue to be led by this Nc
Dowell, who disgraced Buchanan's
administration and has been a dead

birth.

As the blithest bird that sings.
Now for her, alas, no more time
Flies with morning tinted wings,
For whene'er the church bell tinkles
Must the prayerful knee be bent.
