4 Distinguished West Tennessee
Lawyer, and Formerly a Partner

JOHNSON CITY, July l9.-Gov.
Taylor made the official announce

the Hon. Thos. B. Turley to succeed
Isham H. Harris as United States
Senator from Tennessee. The Gov
ernor wired his choice to Mr.. Turley
and in reply received a polite tele-
gram of acceptance.
The Governor is heavy hearted at
having to cast the die against many
good friend but he could not go to
Middle Tennessee and appoint one
friend over another in that section.
West Tennessee claimed the honor
and presented one man. In an in
terview had with the Governor i'm
mediately after the appointment he
said:
II have chosen Mr.. Turley because

him because of his pre-eminent

That Extra Tax,

The extra tax which, it is said,
was levied by the last legislature on
dealers in cigars and tobacco is thus
referred to by the Cleveland Herald,
the editor of which is a member of
the State Senate. Says the Herald
County clerks should be a little
careful or they may get into law
suits.
The license on "cigar stands
does not apply to merchants IN un-
incorporated towns. On page IT of
the tax digest it says cigar stands
in cities under 10000 Inhabitants
per year, $500
"Mere villages, not incorporated,
are not cities or towns: Merchants
in places like Benton, Charleston,
Riceville and smaller places are not
subject to the tax. In fact no mer-
chant who carries cigars as part
of his regular tax is liable
if those who made the law knew
what they meant. Only the comp
troller makes them liable.
"In the digest someone puts in
these lines:
"'This is an entirely new privilege
and must be paid in addition to the
regular merchants tax
There was no such language in
the law the day it passed" ."

Florida Philosophy.

Love your neighbOr, but be careful
not to love your neighbor's wife.
A good neighbor is like a plaster.
He will stick to you at all times.
If you wish to get rich, pay some
attention to your own business as
well as that of your neighbor.
Should your neighbor's chickens
bother you, quietly introduce them
into a piepot for your own delecta-
tion.
You can borrow anything from
your neighbor but his cookstove,
but if you ask for that you will sure
ly be refused.
If you see your neighbor carrying
a demijOhn into the house it is good
to be taken with severe pain in the
stomach.
Be kindly and generous to your
neighbor. Fix a hole in your fence
so that his hens can come through
and do their egg-laying in your yard.
Don't grieve because your neigh
bOr's fruit trees hang over your
fence. The fruit that falls on your
side belongs to you, even if you have
to make it fall at night.
Send in for your neighbor's paper
just as soon as you get up in the
morning. Such a course pleases
him, because it proves that you have
interest in public affairs.
If your neighbOr wants to borrow
a cup of sugar, let him have the
commOnest brown kind. 1t will
satisfy him that you are not only
neighborly, but economical, and he
will never ask you for such a favor
again.-Jacksonville Times-Union.

A Washington View of sour Bob"

The Washington Post, in speaking
of the possibility of Bob Taylor's
becoming a United States Senator
some future day, says:
Gov. Taylor is the fddling
Governor. He is the most popular
man in the state. Against his wish
he was nominated for Governor in
the last campaign, because it was
felt that he was the only democrat
who could be elected. He is an
East Tennessean, and his father
brought up family of republicans.
Bob was the only democrat in the
flock, and his political apostasy
greatly grieved his father. II will
lick the democracy out of you,' said
the old man one day, and forthwith
proceeded to carry his purpose into
execution. "Hurrah for democ-
racy,o shouted the lad as he took his
licking.
Gov. Taylor did not want to be
elected, because he was making
money on the lecture stage. When
he finished his first term as Gov
ernor he was $4,000 in debt, for the
salary of the Governor is small and
the expenses of the position are
great. He could sing a song, play
on the violin, and tell a story
besides which he is natural orator
with musical voice and a happy
manner of coming ear-pleasing
sentences. So he went on the lee.

ITEMS ABOUT MONEY.

The Spartans had an iron coinage,
no other being allowed.
Herodotus says that Croesus was
the first sovereign to make coins of
gold.
Before the days of coined money
the Greeks used copper nails as cur
rency.
Over 1000 series of Greek coins,
issued by Independent cities, are
known to exist.
Toledo and Damascus blades were
very popular in the middle ages,
and sold for their weight in gold.
In the sixteenth century fencing
the sword was held in the right
hand and dagger in the left to
ward OFF blows.
The purchasing power of money in
the days of the Roman emperors
was about ten times what 1t is at
present.
Cakes of tea in India, pieces OF
silk i'm China, salt in Abyssinia and
Goldfish in Iceland have been all
used as money.

The Evening PPckSniT.

The Nashville Banner is opposed
to the calling of the constitutional
convention. 1t has joined hands
with the fee-grabbers, whom for
wears it is so glibly denounced. Not
W withstanding the Banner has posed
as the ne plus ultra of morality and
attitudeniZed as the whole thing of
goodness, its present role surprises
nobody. The Banner is the proper
ty of f. b. Stahlman. Stahlman
bought it for purpose. Stahlman's
occupation aside from the newspa-
per business is lobbying with the
legislature. He hires himself out to
whoever will pay him wages, and the
more disreputable the employment
the better he is pleased. There has
been no decent piece of legislation
for years which Stahlman has not
been paid to defeat. Of course Stahl-
mans character, or want Of charac-
ter, is we'll known, and hisopposition
to measure is the strongest argu-
ment for decent men to support it.
AS we said, Stahlman bought the
Banner for a purpose. Having no
character himself, he thought pOssi-
bly, newspaper might have one.
For some time his paper occupied
high ground. 1t was lab de -dah
of morals. 1t was eXquisitely cor
rect and pre-eminently iastidious.
1t was all, however, for IA purpose.
Tie cloak of virtue was simply as
sumed that its viciousness might be
more effective. Stahlman's paper
all along has been no better than
Stahlman himself. 1t has simply
been more hyrocritical. But now
Stahlmau and his paper are alike
unmasked. As Stahlman has been
! the hired tool of every degraded
purpose, so now Stahiman's paper is
the willing organ Of the worst ele-
ments in the State.
| No decent mau will give heed to
the arguments advanced either by
| Stahlman or his paper. The rea-
sons given by the Banner for oppos-
ing a convention are utterly devoid
of sincerity and strange to say,
something unusual in the Banner,
deficient in Intelligence.
The Banner says the constitution
will not be submitted 20 the people.
| The Banner knows better.
The Banner says the constitution
can be amended The Banner is
either ignorant in this or hypocriti-
cal.
The Banner says the legislature
can give the reform. Why, Stahl-
man will be there to prevent reform
even if they could be constitutional

Last week we stated that Anthony

ragged and murdered Miss Rene
Williams at West Point, had been
captured and that the incensed citi d,

Shortly after our forms had gone

The mob with their prisoner We're
on the road from West Point to the
scene of the crime, when one of the
number, who could wait no longer,
felled the negro to the ground with
a stone. The whole mob then
gathered around the PROSTATE form
of the brute and volley after vOlley
from guns and pistols was poured
mo him. A bonfire was then built
over him, and, amid the eXultant
yells of the mob, the carcass was
burned to ashes.
Miss Rene Williams, the victim,
was beautiful girl about II years
old, and was the idol of her father.
She was engaged to be married on

Ever since Sergt. Paddy Lane, Of
the Nineteenth Precinct, has been
on the night desk at the Teuderloin
station, he has been a source of won
derment to the newspaper writers,
owing, primarily, to the fact that he
has the faculty of knowing what
news is. Lane can spin through a
register of crime and extract the
best material with the same facility
that Tom Platt can bat his eye at a
group of Albany Legislators.
Heretofore the Sergeant has been

Never an Office Holder.

He Has Been Soldier and Lawyer, But
Never an Office Holder.
Hon. Thomas b. Turley was born
in Memphis, April ), 1915, in the
house in which he now resides. His
father, Thomas j. Turley, came from
Virginia. He died in Memphis Aug.
|, 1854. His mother was a daughter
of William Battle, Esq, who was
one of the earliest settlers of Shelby
county. She died a few years ago.
He attended the various schools Of
Memphis up to the breaking out of
the civil war, when he enlisted in
Maynard Rifles, Company L., One
Hundred and Fifty-fourth Tennessee
Regiment. He was captured in the
battle of Nashville, ana carried to
Camp Chase, Ohio, where he was
held until March, 1865, when he was
exchanged and returned South.
After the war he entered the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he spent
two years studying law. He estab-
lished himself in Memphis, and
since 1870 has been practicing law in
his native city, from which he has
amassed a comfortable fortune. He
is at present associated with Gen.
Luke f. Wright, under the firm
name of Turley d Wright. In 1870
he married Miss Irene Raymer, a
daughter of the late Eli Raymer, of
Shelby county. Five children were
the result of the union, all of whom
are living.
Mr.. Turley is modest, unassum-
ing gentleman, of great humor and
superb ability and well qualified to
fill the responsible position to which
he has been appointed, with honor
to himself and credit to the State
He has never taken very active
part in politics, being content to
confine his attention to his large law
practice. He was the former law
partner of the late Senator Harris
and was Que of his most intimate
friends. 1t may be truly said that
if the dead Senator could have Sc.
lected his successor that Tom Turley
would have been the man. He has
never aspired to political position
He is, however, an ardent free sill
yer Democrat and stands fiatfooteC
upon the Chicago platform.

that 1.-The present agitation in favor
of holding a constitutional conven-
tion did not originate with the peo-
pie but in the brains of cranks, and
has been carried on for the most
part by the legal fraternity.' The
definition of the word "cranks' has
been radically changed in the last
wear or so. For advocating patri-
otic and noble cause, William j.
Bryan and his thousands of follow
ers were given the sobriquet of
"cranks;" and because they show
forth the same principles that Bryan
did, the Gazette and a few others
seek to bestow the same title upon

RUSSIA has experienced some diff
ficulty in reversing her standard of
value from a silver to what is sup
posed to be a gold basis. BY i'm
perial edict, it was made known that
a five-rouble gold piece would, un-
til further notice, be equal to seven
roubles paper currency. The masses
of Russia are said to be uneducated
and ignorant, but when they were
offered five-rouble gold piece for a
debt due them for seven roubles
they refused TO accept it and de-
manded that they be given seven
roubles. The government officials
were equal to the emergency, and
lust stamped the word Seven
Roubles" on the five-rouble pieces

BRYAN IN UTAH.
Trans Mississippi Congress Declares for
Free Silver.

ns-Mississippi Congress Declares for
Free Silver.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July l6.-
The Trans Mississippi Congress to-
day by an overwhelming majority
adopted resolutions favoring free
silver. The majority of gold men
struggled to prevent the action, but
it was forlorn hope. A majority
of the delegates came from the sill
yer producing States and no argu-
ment availed against their determl-
nation to play the Congress in line
with the Chicago platform. Bry an
urged the adoption of l6 to | free
coinage resolution and it went
through with hurrah.
Mr.. Bryan vacated the chair and
supported the resolution in char
acteristic speech. He said that this
was no more of a political question
than was the case of Cuba. While
Spain was butchering Cubans, the
gold standard was slaughtering
Americans; while Spain was de-
vastating Cuban territory, the gold
standard was devastating American
territory over a great area. While
the gentlemen from Minnesota (E.
V. Smalley), and his State gave
5000 majority for the single stand
ard, the fact was that the vote in
Minnesota and this country was for
bimetallism, either International or
independently. There was no ques-
tion before the Congress as impor-
tant as the one which calculated the
separation of the interests of this
country from Lombard and Wall
streets.
The majority resolution was
adopted by a vote of 2O4 to II. Hugh
Craig was elected President to sue
ceed Mr.. Bryan.
