OUR friends, the enemy, the
advocates of a constitutional
convention, claim that the a
mandatory process is too tedi-
Gus and slow; that in view OF
the fact that only one amend
ment can be offered in 6 years,
an ordinary life time will be
spent before the necessary re-
forms can be accomplished.
Well, even granting this to
be true, why cannot that part
of our constitution providing
for amendment once in six
years be amended as we'll as
any other part? This ac-
complished, and it can be &C
complished, as many amend
ments may be offered and as
often as desired. The truth
about the matter is, that for
fifteen or twenty years a new
constitution has been discuss
ed, and has been met by the
suggestion of amendment.
As ex-Gov. Turney says: eff
the suggestion had been heed
ed, every possible necessary
amendment could have been
had long ago; but, it was
preferred to make the fight
under the cover, in the dark
and in a way that the people
cannot understand what is to
be the outcome if a conven-
ton is had"

HON. PETER TuRNEY.

HON. PETER TURNET, ex-
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and Ex-Governor Of
Tennessee, expresses himself
as follows in regard to a new
constitution: "The agitators
of the constitutional reform
seem afraid of the people and
ask to take from them all dis
cretion and election in the
exercise ofthe powers inherent
in them. OF all the people
in the land, the self-styled re-
formers need reform the most.
If the evils are so many and
so grievous and the present
constitution is so rotten as
some speakers and writer's
tell US, why have they not
had the people to meet in
their several counties and send
delegates to a peoples con-
vention, to point out the evils
and lay down a platform of
the principles upon which
remedies should be adminis-
tered? Let the people un-
derstand what is proposed
let the evils and remedies be
discussed and comprehended,
so that the people can vote
intelligently. A constitution
is not like an act of the legis-
lature, that may be gotten rid
of in a day. 1t is the supreme
law of the land and meant to
be permanent. In its forma-
ton and adoption, we should !
hasten slowly. fla mistake
is made, it cannot be easily
remedied."

Some of our citizens are
under the impression that
Mr.. Turley was at one time a
resident of Bolivar. This is
a mistake. Mr.. Turkeys father
once lived here and taught
school for a number of years.
When ABOUT Is months old,
a delicate, teething child, Mr..
Turley was brought here by
his parents from Memphis
and carried to DunlapSprings,
three miles south of Bolivar.
At that time his life was al
most despaired of. In a few
weeks, however, the waters
of Dunlap restored him to
perfect health. He attributes
his life to these Springs,
which he purchased in after
years. About three years
ago, he sold the property to
Mr.. II. B, Paul, the present
owner.

THOMAS 3. TURKEY
VIII Occupy the Seat OF Sen
ator Harris.

Gov. Taylor has appointed
Hon. Thomas B. Turley, of
Memphis, to fill out the I'M
expired term of the late Sem
ator Harris.
Mr.. Turley was born in
Memphis, Tenn, April 5,
1916, where he now lives,
in an old fashioned South
ern home, at the corner of
Linden and Wellington
streets. His father was the
late Thos. J. Turley, who
died in Memphis Aug. 1,
1854. His mother was Mrs.
Flora G. Turley, a daughter
of William Battle, Esq, one
of the earliest settlers OF
Shelby County. She died a
few years ago. His fathers
family were Virginians, his
mothers North Carolinians.
He attended various schools
in Memphis up to the break
ing out of the civil war. He
enlisted the first year of the
war in the Maynard Rifles
Company L. One Hundred
and Fifty-fourth Tennessee
Regiment. The first captain
of Company L was E. A
Cole. Its second captain wa
the late Walter r. Lucas, o
Memphis. He was in from
twice-once at Shiloh anC
again at Peachtree Creek il
front of Atlanta; was captured
in the battle Of Nashville anC
carried to Camp Chase, Ohio
where he was held unit
March, 1865 when lie was ex
changed and returned South
After the war he passet

1870 he has been practicins
law in Memphis. He is a
present a member of tn
firm of Turley & Wright. H,
has never held Office of an,
kind. He was married abou

To Oppose It.

HENDERSON, July l9.-The peo-
pie of Chester have perfected an or
ganization to oppose the constitu-
tional convention. The meeting was
addressed by the Hons. J. NJ. Trout
and A. w. Stovall, of Jackson, and
I. F. Stubblefeld, of this place.
After these speakers concluded the
crowd called upon John M. Taylor,
and as the Judge is always for the
people, and ready and willing to do
battle for their interests, he res
pended in a logical and stirring
speech. The meeting was a success
and was lovefeast for the antis.-
Nashville American.

Harris and Carlisle.

After Carlisle had scotched the
silver snake in 1895, writes Savoy
ard in the Courier-J ournal, Harris
took command of the silver forces.
He called the Memphis conference
and set about gathering delegates.
He showed a skill, an ability and a
force that were astonishing. His
choice for President was Vice.Pres-
ident Stevenson, though he would
have been content with Boies or
Bland.
Senator Harris was great friend
of Carlisle, and last Saturday Car
Isle entered the Senate chamber for
the first time since March 4th, 1898,
to attend the funeral of his old friend.
Speaking of Carlisle, Harris said:
''He is the most wonderful man
ever met. His is the clearest head
in the Union. His mind is like one
of these machines you see in the no.
tells. Drop question in the slot
out comes the answer" Carlisle
appointed many of Harris friends
to office and when the Secretary and
Senator came to the parting of the
ways they parted friends and re-
NAMED so to the end. No man ev.
er did Isham G. Harris a favor in
vain.
Of all the men in the South in
1861 Harris was the best fitted for
President of the Confederacy. Had
he been chosen history might have
been very different. He would
have been the Carnot of America.
But the hand of God was in that
mighty contest and every page of
history from 1851 to 1865 shows
that it was foreordained that the
North was to triumph. The battle
was to the South; the campaign was
to the North, but Montmorency
like Isham G.. Harris might have
changed the result.

A Boston Man Says the Combination May
Result In Death.

Never eat eggs while you are an
cry" said A. E. Stewart of Boston.
My attention was first called to this
strange fact by the tragic and sudden
death IF a lady acquaintance in Boston
several years ago. | accepted her hus-
bands invitation to dine with them.
Just as we were going in to dinner a
servant did something that caused the
lady to fly into a terrible rage. She had
been irritable from some minor com
plant for several days, and her hus-
band Gained her, rufied feelings sutfi-
GENTLY for the dinner to be eaten in
good temper. / noticed that she ate al
unusually large amount of soft scram-
bled eggs. Fifteen minutes after we
left the dining room she was a corpse.
She died in frightful commissions be-
fore the nearest doctor reached the
house. The doctor was unable to aScribe
the cause A few months later | was
visiting a brother III Connecticut, and
one of his sons died under similar cir
cumstances. Before breakfast one morn
ing the boy, who was about Is years
old, had a fight with a neighbours boy.
Before his anger had subsidized my
nephew was called to breakfast. He ate
four soft boiled eggs. Had | known as
much then as l do now I would have
prevented it. In less than a half hour
after breakfast the boy died with exact
ly the same symptoms that were present
when my friends wife died. This set
me to thinking about the matter.
''It wasn't long after this before a
Beacon hill friend of mine expired sad
denly after a meal. The doctors, as
usual, Were divided in opinion on the
cause of death. Some of them contend
ed that 1t was heart failure, whatever
that is, and others are still holding out
that it was apoplezy. Inquiry by me
developed the fact that my friend was
very angry when he sat down at table
and that he ate five eggs. With these
developments l searched no further for
the cause Of his death. He was angry,
he ate eggs and he died. Ii these are
no links III the chain of cause and eff
feet, TIT human intellect is incapable of
logical thinking. st. Louis Republic.

ERRORS IN LIVING.
Mans Excessive Appetite and the Body's
Capacity For Food.


Capacity For Food
To the lay mind nothing seems to au-
CUR so strongly in favor Of robust health
as a hearty appetite. Furthermore,
there would seem to be a strong con-
viction in the public mind, sanctified
by tradition from time almost imme-
mortal, that the more a man eats the
better he is. The quantity Of food that
many people naturally eat is very large
as compared with their actual physi-
illogical requirements. Add to this the
many tempting forms i'll which food is
presented To the palate by our modern
culinary arts, the sharpening of the ap-
petite by tia anteprandial cocktail, the
stimulus ctforacd the appetite by a bot
tie OF good wine, and the result is ofoen
the consumption of an amount of food
that simply overwhelms the assimila-
tive organs. Such indulgence. if unre-
stricted and kabitual, taxes both the as
similative and the excretory orgLns to
their highest capacity, especially when
coupled with ~sedentary life, and, more
over, it lends an additional impetus to
the evils spriaging from the use of i'm
proper quality Of food.
The human celebrating and excretorv
mechanism was evidently adjusted fer
ordinary wear AID tear to an average
limited period of Abort 20 years. I'm
der 40 per cent Of extra work we must
naturally expect impairment or break
down OF the mechanism much earlier.
1t should therefore excite no special
surprise that 50 large a proportion of our
well to do people die from Bright's dis
ease, heart failure and allied diseases at
80 Or % who should, and under prop
erly regulated lives and habits would,
have attained the natural age Of 70 or
over. Parado1ical though it may seem,
Fnch people usually spring from excep-
tioually healthy stock and often point
with pride TO the fact that their imme-
diate ancestors lived to advanced ages
OF 00years or more. This paradox, how
ever, is more apparent than real, for in
vestigation will usually reveal the fact
that for the most part the parents in
such cases were people Of more simple
habits, such as correspondent with New
England life 10 or 100 years ago.
The truth il that the well to do man
of today lives in a faster age than that
Of his father and grandfather. He meet:
with greater opportunities and posi-,
bilities and therefore greater stimulus
to all his energies. He more easily &C.
quires peeaniary resources, and il
larger amounts, and therefore be pos
sesses greater Injuries Of domestic life.
With these come greater temptations to
excess. While he has often inherited 8
splendid constitution from bis ances-
tors, unlike them he has run his phys.
ical mechanism at a breakdown rate,
and it must of necessity more quickly
wear out.-Charles W. Purdy, NJ. D.,
in North American Review.
