sons. In spite of the repeated warn
ings of the physicians and others, who
feared that her sleepless watching
would end in utter break down and
collapse, she was hardly away from my
bedside for single hour during all the
critical period of my illness, and 1 do
not think she slept two hours of the
twenty-four. And yet she has come
through it all without any apparent
impairment of her health or strength"

seige that have passed through, and I
am glad to believe that the end of my
imprisonment is near thand, / came to
Columbia to spend ten days, and l have
been here already about ten weeks"
The HERALD representative then
ventured upon the heretofore forbidden
subject of politics, and called Mr.. Car
mack's especial attention to a publica-
ton in the Nashville American some
days ago from it's Washington cores
pondent, in which an unidentified Ten
nessee Democrat was made to put Mr..
Carmack down as a candidate for Gov
ernor, while Governor McMillin was
given a clear field for the senatorial
race.

"what has been going on in politics
since l have been shut up within these
four walls, but l do know that no.
nobody has right to dispose of me, or
assign me any particular place in any
program, without my knowledge or
consent Nobody is authorized to say
that will not be candidate to succeed
Senator Turiey in the Senate. That is
a question 1 will decide for myself, of
course after comforting with and TAX
ing the advice of my friends from diff
ferent parts of the state. When 1 have
decided upon my course, / will an
nounce that decision myself"
Mr.. Carmack's attention was also
called to an associated press dispatch,
which stated that he had been honored
with the single invitation for Tennes-
see, to speak at the great Dallas, Texas,
gathering of the Democratic clans, and
he replied that if his health would per-
NIT he would accept the invitation, and
that if his recovery continued as mark
ed as the last few days indicated, he
hoped to be able to do so.
At this point Mrs. Carmack turned
the subject to "the weather." and a
further discussion of political or public
questions, was eschewed.

OF course the daily will not affect
the old reliable WEEKLY HERALD,
except perhaps to make it better.
AS our news facilities will be better
than they are now as we will have
more men to hunt the news and to
handle it, we may be able to serve
our country readers better in the
future than we have in the past.
The very best we have shall be
theirs, now and forever; for they
are the friends of our earlier, strug-
Cling days; who have stood by US
through hard times and rainy
weather; they are the strength, the
never failing strength and support
of the HERALD, and our best efforts
and best thanks and best wishes,
shall always be theirs.

The editor of the HERALD called
Wednesday at the residence of Mrs. F.

Carmack has been sick with typhoid
fever for more than two months now,
to inquire after his physical condition,
and was permitted to pay short social
visit to the distinguished Congressman.
He found Mr.. Carmack propped up in
bed, gradually accustoming himself, as
he said, to an upright position before
being allowed to sit up, a privilege he
expects to enjoy in a few days. Mr..
improvement was painfully slow, and
that for many days at line his condi-
ton would seem to be at an absolute
stand still; but that for the last ten
days he felt he had made more progress
than in the preceding four weeks.
While he is still quite weak, he is gain

that his only trouble now is that he
cannot get enough to eat.

YOU may theorize and sympathize
as much as you like, but the stub
born fact remains that Messrs. Bar
bee 81 Smith brought odium upon
themselves and disgrace to the
church by their methods in procur-
ing the war claim appropriation by
Congress. No reasonable, sensible,
sane man can deny that. That be-
ing true, the only honest, square,
clean thing for the church to do, is
to pay back that money. "Resolut-
in" amt worth cent, so long as
the church holds on to that l-gotten
gain. Condemnation of the agents
while the church holds on to the
swag, is bat adding to their offense
the additional SIN of hypocrItical
cant. The leaders of Methodism in
Tennessee ought to take hold of this
embarrassing, troublesome question
at their conference next month, aud
settle it right, so far as they are con-
cerned, once for all. A man who
cannot be proud of his church can
not continue to take the interest in
it and have the love for it he should,
however good christian he may
be. And how can a Methodist feel
very proud when he reads such
squibs as this in the daily papers?
To-wit, from the American:
"Will Mr.. Stahlman tell US if his
solicitude at this time for the city of
Nashville is born of the same feel
ing as his sOlicitude for the South
ern Methodist Church before Con-
gress? If SO, who is feeding the
'Kitty?'"

IT strikes US as about time that
Mormon elders were being outlawed
in Tennessee, or else Mormonism
legalized. If Mormonism is bad,
then it's propagatOrs should be
bounced. What is the sense in de-
crying thing by statute, and then
permitting it to be preached from
the street corners, and its emissaries
to distribute their tracks from house
to house? If it is right, let them
establish their churches; if it is i'm
moral and lecherous-and it is
then fire them out of the State.

AS the fall conferences begin to
meet the Barbee-Smith war claim
question hobs up again. And it will
continue to bob up until the Church
does its duty to itself by RELOCATING
to the ranks the men who put this
stain upon the church. The marvel
to the world is that such things can
be. 1t is cankerous sore, which, if
heroic remedies are not employ ed =,
will eat its destructive way until it
destroys the spiritual life of the
church, great as it is to day. An
effort has been and is being made
to hush the matter up; and that may
be done for time; but the trouble
is it won't stay hushed, but at most
critical times its baneful effects will
be most seen and felt. We hope the
conference which convenes here in
October, will adopt ringing resolu-
tions Of no uncertain sound, remind
ing the Bishops Of their duty to
honesty, to right, to truth aud to
Methodism.

WE publish elsewhere in this

man Carmack, who denies empnati-
cally that any man has the right to

that he will not be a candidate to
succeed Senator Turley. Mr.. Nc
Mullins friends have been very per-

nothing for their favorite by trying
to take advantage of an opponent
fiat of his back with typhoid fever.

ONE of the crying evils of the
