In Memory of Mrs. J. W. trierson, ST.

Mrs. Alice Elizabeth Frierson was
born Sept. 10Th, 1888, near Spring Hill.
Her father was James w, Stephenson.
She iDtermarried with John w. Frier-
son of Cross Bridges, April 18th, 1882
and died at their residence on the 9th of
August.
This brief statement gives to the world
the bare protective points of life Just
closed Oh earth and transferred to a
nObler sphere. Truly she lived life of
faith, loyalty and fidelity to every DUTY
i'm golved in the earthly, daily scenes
and incidents of home. No foolish
ambition to depart from this God-giyen
and divinely appointed sphere could
ever tempt her to neglect for moment
the domestic ties and their correspond
ing responsibilities. Above all she was
Christian, and next in importance she
was a wife aud mother of the old
Southern type. Not esssying to rule by
force, she swayed the household by a
calm, restful love, aud held each mem
Der close to her heart In her presence
there was a calm that sOothed LIES
stormy seas. III there was disquietude
without, there WAS a peaceful haven in
her home circle for the retreat of all " no
sought or enjoyed its influences.
She left surviving, three children,
Columbus and John w. Frierson, Jr.,
and Miss Stella Frierson, and her hus-
band, John w. Frierson. Her earnest,
devoted care for those now so sOrely
bereft, and the prayers of her life for
their eternal veal, cannot be forgotten,
aud must attract them one and all with
a power that shall lead them TO follow
their loved one to her new Home.
A FRIEND.

The Nashville American suggests
that the next Congress should pass a
bill to Danish anarchists. The sug-
gestion is good, but why stop at
anarchists? Trusts are far more
dangerous to the life of this Repub-
lie and the liberty of the citizen,
than anarchists; why not Danish all
promoters of trusts. Some starved !,
desperate, half crazy anarchist occa-
sionally horrifles the world by the
murder of some monarch, who at
last is no better than the common
man. But every day and every
hour, scheming, sleek, fat promo
ters of trusts and heads of corpora
tions, leech like are sucking the life
blood from the people, and by their
machinations are multiplying the
very type of man of which our con-
temporary so justly complains. 1t
would be great thing indeed If the
next Congress would load a ship
with railroad magnates, ship subsidy
statemen, sugar bounty beneficiaries,
coal oil conspirators, ana other trust
promoters, together with a sufficient
number of communists and anarch-
lists to make the voyage interesting,
and set them adoat without chart OF
compass, to the tender mercies of
the waves and the winds and His
Majesty. the Devil.

DECAYED MuSSELS.
They Cause Disagreeable odors and

One of the bad Results of pearl
hunting ia the extremely obnoxious
stencil caused by decdyln mnssels
and the consequent poiuton of the
water in the streams from which the
shells are taken.
Aver the mussel shells are broken
open by the hunters, they are either
thrown back into the water, VIII ere

banks OF I've stream, where they
rapidly decay beneath the hot rays

II the pearl hunters are not careful

the statute books regarding the
pollution of water in streams, and,
in order to avoid prosecution and
protect the public health, those

that the G-off shells are properly

is to take along hoe aud bury the

The Water Company is having a

praiseworthy efforts of the Water
Co., to give the people pure water,
should not be handicapped or offset
by the lncOusiderate cdrelessness of
the pearl hunters, and the Board
OF Aldermen should institute
prosecutions If necessary, to protect
the health of the water consumers OF
this city.

the beauty OF the waist is not marred
by suspenders, his trousers being
upheld by belt.

He Withdraws From the Race for
the Senate.
NASHVILLE. Aug. Is. - Judge
David l. Snodgrass arrlv, d in the
city yesterday morning from his
home in Chattanooga and last even.
ing gave out signed statement to
the people of Tennessee Withdrew
ing from the race for the United
States Senate. leaving the field 70
Congressman E. w. Carmtck, of the
Tenth District.
In his address to the people of
Tennessee Judge Sn0dgras-, in n
dignitied manner, recitts the q fiji
culties under which he has
made his canvass up to this time.
AS to his views on expansion,
he says there is no difference be-
tween his position and that of the
National Democratic Convention,
except in the number of islands to
be retained. The Chief Justice
states that he made an earnest plea
for joint discussion with the other
candidates of the day, but this priv
ilege was denied him. NHe also
asked for a general senatorial pri-
mary in the State. which was de-
clined by the State Committee.
The duties of Judge Snodgrass, as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
are such as to prevent his making a
very active canvass. He felt that
the time for making his canvass of
the State was very limited, as the
court meets agaiu in few weeks,
and that it would be impossible for
him to present to the people, as he
wished, his views upon the various
questions. Judge Snodgrass says
that in the face of all these obsta-
cles he could plainly see the imprac
ticability of overcoming the situa-
ton and that he, therefore, does not
feel justified in asking his friends 10
further supp )rt MIN in the race, and
that he deems 1t best to withdraw.

SOME months ago, when the l.. &
N. wanted permission to blockade
High street with its trains at it's
will, there was quite good deal of
talk about a new depot the company
was going to build. 1t sprung up
nobody knew just how or where,
but it served to help get an ordi-
nance through the City Council.
But now that they have the law
made to suit them, and are per-
mitted to blockade the street when
they will, the Talk is all about that
new depot the company is not going
to build. The old shack they are
now using Is inadequate, filthy, and
stinks. But the high muckamucks
who pass on these things are far
enough away not to smell it, aud are
permitted to blockade the streets
without fear of the grand jury, so
what do they care? The City
Council should repeal the ordinance
granting them the right to blockade
High street, and If possible declare
their shack a nuisance and compel
them TO improve it. Communities
like politicians, sometimes get afraid
of the railroads; and right there
they make a mistake. Soulless cor
porations have no more gratitude
than they have souls; the more
favors they are shown the more de-
mands they make, and the only way
to keep them in the bounds of reason
at all is for communities and indi-
viduals to demand every right the
law gives them. OF course we will
never get much relief until we get
competition, but while we are wait
ing for competition we need moi
give away the few remaining rights
we have against their lordly right o.
eminent domain.

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.

The Congressional Committee did
very good work last week, and they
did it very tremendously; there Ia
no good reason why the campaign
should not be conducted on the con
sentative, dignihed, harmonious
plane set for 1t bv the committee.
Vituperative abuse by man Of their
betters more generally hurts where
it comes from than where 1t is aimed
at, and campaign conducted on
those lines disgusts the conservative
elements of society and hurts the
party. The committee has set
good example of fair dealing, and in
their discussion, showed DISPOSE
tion to avoid personal matters or un-
seemly contention, and we COM
mend their example to the caudi-
dates and their lieutenants.
This committee is composed Of the
Chairmen of the several County
Committees comprising the disGric..
And If any man has an opportunity
of knowing the political sentiment
of his county,, it is the Chairman OF
the County Committee. Their sup
port is always sought after, and their
opinions are worth something.
Five of the eight members of this
committee personally favor Mr..
Padgett's nomination, and they all
believe that he will carry their re-
spective counties; the counties of
Giles, Maury, Williamson, Dickson
and Hickman. If he carries these
counties by half the majorities these
gentlemen think he will, he will en-
ter the other three counties with a
thousand majority over his closest
opponent. Mr.. Boyd. The vote in
Lawrence and Lewis will be close,
and If Mr.. Boyd were to get all the
vote in Wayne, (Which be WON'T
Padgett would still be in the lead,

vative gentlemen have made.
This is not prophesy of the HER
AID. 1t is a summary merely of pc
litical gossip we heard when the
committee met last week.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1900-08-17

WE are informed that Mr.. Boyd's
argument before Hickman county
audience last week was that if tho
little counties wanted or ever ex
pected Congressman, they should
combine on one man. Mr.. Boyd is
right, they should. And ''to make
assurance doubly sure" they should
take the larger counties into the
combination; and especially the
Democratic counties. Mr.. Boyd's
county already has one of the best
offices in the district, and at the
same time gives the largest Republi
can vote, in proportion to its populs-
ton, OF any county in the district /.
Why should the Democrats of this
Congressional district go to the Re-
publican county of Wayne for their
representative? And upon what
meat doth Mr.. Boyd feed" that he
has grown SO big and great that
some of the counties, for his eX-
elusive benefit, should combine
against their sister democratic coun-
ties, and vote to give him at one and
the same time the two most hon
orable and lucrative offices in this
district? Mr.. Boyd should not ask
over much from his friends.
