TENNESSEE DAY.

The first day Of June, 1897, will be an
occasion long commemorated in Tennes-
see annals. It has been distinguished
and set aside Us Tennessee Day aud Gov
errors Day at the Centennial, when
there will be present prominent people
from not only the State of Tennessee,
from all the States composing the Amer
lean Union.
There will be great orations from ia
nous orators. There viii be a military
pageant Of United States and volunteer
troops, as also uniformed bodies of other
organizations, imposing, and inspiring
A large number Of magnificent bands of
music will be in the parade, and the Oc-
casion, altogether, will be one long to
be remembered by this, and reviewed
with pride by coming generations.
The day is intended to memorabilia
the admission Of the State into the Union
one hundred years ago, when the Father
of his Country was President and signed
the articles of her coronation of a sover-
eign, with equal rights Of her sister SOW
ereigns There will be passed in review
the list Of historic and illustrious men
who made the fame Of Tennessee after
wards and during the century Just closed.
The people of Tennessee have never
adequately appreciated the character
istics Of these men. They We're n domi-
mating race. No people ever had a just
er or broader sense of true American
democracy. They impressed themselves
upon their surroundings, made prece-
dents where precedents were lacking,
and demonstrated their ability to lead
They we're patriots, and their love of
country rose above all merely selfish
ambitions. The men who sprung from
the loins of the sturdy and brave Ten
nessee frontiersmen were q noted race.
Where they left their mother State, and
went into the territories Of the South
and West, they instantly took place in
the front rank Of all the peoples gath
cred there, and we're, as if by some di-
vine right, recognized as natural leaders
of men. Five of Tennessee's gifted sons
have been chosen as first governors of
States added to the Union during the
last century, while hundreds have reach
ed positions Of prominence and distinc-
tion in various States and in the National
Government. Their memories should
be honored. The children Of Tennessee
should be made familiar with their names
and their brilliant achievements, and
taught to cherish with reverence, love
and pride q glowing memory Of them
throughout all time.

WAR ON THE CITY,
This l. the Attitude of the Bell Company
Say the Y. NJ. II. A.

The following circular, under the cap
ton, ~ Practical Question for Telephone
subscribers" has been sent out 70 tele-
phone subscribers by the Young Mer's
business Association Committee:
The Young Mems business Association.
prompted alone by what they believe TO
be the welfare OF our cltv, respectfully
ask your consideration OF the following
reasons why each citizen shOu.d connue
his patronage exclusively 10 the only .eic-
phone company operating with d iran
ch!se from the city.
First AZ some immediate action is not
taken by telephone patrons, the southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company,
with its millions OF capital, must soon
succeed in driving the Richmond Teie-
phone Company from the field. The re-
suit will be that the Bell Company. whose
franchise did not limit its charges, VIII
have the power TO reinstate even more ex-
orbitant charges than it formerly made
On the other hand, IL the home company
wins the night, it cannot advance its
charges, which are limited by franchise
to the present figures; hence, as a mat
ter OF dollars and cents It is TO our in
terest TO have the Richmond Telephone
Company continue business.
Second. Two telephone systems are an
moving ana expensive. Onc ttitpnone COW
ering tho whole field is far prefera Dle
Which phone shall It be? y phone
whose charges are unlimited, or phone
for which We can never be made 70 pay
more for than at present?
Third. The United States Court has en-
ioined the city from in any way controls
ing the Bell Company Hence, If the peo-
pie Of Richmond allow the Bell Company
to crush out the home enterprise, the Bel
Company cannot only charge us what they
please, but can. without fear OF punish
ment, harass us with inferior service.
Fourth. III the Bell Company succeeds
I'm its designs, we can never again de-
pend upon competition to insure good
service and reasonable rates: inasmuch
as it will have become apparent that a
competing company cannot hope to re-
ceive the support OF our people
Fifth. The franchise under which the
Bell Company did business IN this city
was given with the express condition that
at any time, on twelve months notice.
its rights under the franchise should
cease. iSee City Ordinances. edition lSS5.
page lse) When the city. by repeating
the franchise. ordered them 10 yacate.
irsiead OF complying with their contract,
they refused to obey the orders OF the
city. and have secured an Injunction from

which they can continue not only 10 trans
