H. P. Figuers insisted on reading
from the Code of Tennessee concern

Cherry replied that this was not a
suit in law or equity, and was not
illegal under the champertOus laws
of the state. Rev. J. A. Orman
stated that Attorney General Gar
land had written an opinion sustain
ing the validity of the contract and
showing that the cases cited by Mr..
Stokes had no bearing on the pres
ent case. He moved that DR.. Col
Inns Denny be permitted to read this
opinion. Rev j. J. Ransom wanted
DR.. Denny to make statement, but
Figures, Kelley, PEBBLES, Haynes
and Stowe made objections. Dr..
Denny said he desired to explain
that he had no desire TO thrust him
self upon the Tennessee Conference,
and did not desire to Teau any paper
or make any statement. After some
discussion, DR.. Denny was requested
to read the letter from Attorney
General Garland, and he did so.
The letter showed that the cases
cited by aJordOn Stokes was not
analogous to the contract with Mr..
Stahlman, and stated il the amount

favored the resolution offered as a
substitute, and said that the main
issue OF whether or not the money
should be retained should not be
sldetracked for the immaterial ques-
ton as to whether the contract was

THE race riot threatened in North
Carolina should be warning to the
people of Tennessee. The trouble
grows out of the fact that North
Carolina is under negro rule; for
wherever or whenever the attempt
is made to put "black heels on white
necks," there is sure to be trouble.
To avoid the possibility of like
trouble in Tennessee, Democrats
owe it to their homes, their country,
their Preside and their God, to go to
the polls and vote, on the 9Th day of
next November.

the feelings Of the people by any
reference to reconstruction days; we
ought to let the growing generation
forget that it was the Republican
party-the fathers of these same
Republicans of to-day-whO freed
the negroes and disfranchised our
fathers. This ought not to be men,
toned except at negro meetings by
Republican orators. Neither ought
we to say anything about the Force

which should be relegated to the for
gotten past. We ought not to say
anything offensive or embarrassing

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

We accept the methods to which the
bishops have pledged themselves for
the eturning of the entire sum, and we
pledge our hearty cooperation in car
rying them into effect. But we prefer
that the money should be returned
without any condition. We believe
that the disciplinary dealing with the
brothers implicated in the matter is
just now subordinate question, Their
dismissal or their voluntary withdraw
al from official position will not settle
any great part of the difficulty. The
supreme duty confronting the church
! is the return of the money, and the un-
qualified disavowal of the wrongs done
in collecting it. Inasmuch as our
bishops have pledged themselves to the
return of the money we leave the whole
matter of the details of that work en-
tirely to their direction, with the hope
that the matter may be accomplished
at as early time as may be practical

He held the Book Committee re-

Rev. J. w. Hensley argued that

belonged to the church, and had
been owing for over thirty years.

The reason, or at least one of the
reasons, for the apathy in the ranks
of the Democratic party in Tennes-
see IS, that the leaders are not doing
their duty as in former years and as
they should. What committeeman
in this county, for instance, has de-
voted single day to riding his dis
trict in the interest of his party?
And what are committeeman for il
not to do some such work as that?
Somebody has to do it, and the COM
mitteemen could hardly ask any
body else to do it for them. 1t has
been suggested that every district
committeeman in the State should
devote two or three days just before
the election, to riding his district
and getting the personal promise of
every Democrat in it, to vote. If
that is done it will be the most eff
fective work that can be done. All
we need is to get the men to the
polls. We have votes in plenty; the
thing to do is to get them in tho box.
And there is no work so effective as
personal, individual work. 1t beats
public speaking all to pieces. How
about your district? Will you take
care of that? Will you see every
Democrat in it and get his personal
promise to vote? If you will, and if
every other committeeman in the
State will do the same, Mr.. McMil-
lin will receive the biggest majority
any man has had in Tennessee in
twenty years. But, on the other
hand, if mob ,dy does anything, MIR.

A Few Suggestions About

Your new fall suit should feel easy
while sitting or walking. The pants
should not wrinkle or bag at the
knees when standing; vest must set
right and not quicker up when stoop-
ing; coat should fit your form per-
fectly it ought not to become shape
less when unbuttoned. And above
all, the suit must look we'll. Good
judges say our clothing this season
approaches this ideal very closely.

MIR. GLADsToNE's CAREER.
Sixty-six Years In Politics and -Four
Times Premier.

Sixty-six Years I'm Politics and Four
Times Premier.
Gladstone is a name of power i'm all
the English speaking world. Not only
has the United Kingdom felt the i'm
press of his genius in every part of her
government, but Canada and Australia,
the Cape Colony and other self govern
ing dependencies have nodded their
new institutions largely according to
his ideas, while in the United States he
has had as many devoted admirers as
I'm his native island. Grand Old Man"
is his title here as well as in English
lands, and it has been even more freely
accorded.
And yet the man presents a paradox.
No other politician of modern times,
none probably of any time, has changed
positions so often or so radically, and
it is scarcely possible to find any de
fined principle lately advocated by him
that he had not at some time in the
past assailed with Vituperative elo-
quence. Yet there is a certain consist
ency even in his changes. Contrary to
an almost universal rule among stu
dents Of society and government, he
steadily grew more radical as he grew
older, less cautious as he grew physi-
cally weaker. and less tolerant of crit
icism as his course raised greater
armies of critics.
Mr.. Gladstone entered parliament as
a Tory of the Eighteenth century sort.
grew into mild conservative, held Of
flee as an advanced Wing, and then
led the opposition as a Liberal so very
radical that many English Radicals
abandoned him and even Irish Radicals
had to restrain him.
His father. John Gladstone, was a
prominent merchant and his mother
was OF Scotch royal descent. William
