Metin Nashville Yesterday
at Noon.
TEMPORARY OFFICERS ELECTED.
Congressman Rice A. Pierce Made
Temporary Chairman - Adjourn
ment Taken Until A O'clock in the
Afternoon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May l0.-The
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, after a prolonged session last night
decided to recommend to the convention
tomorrow the following for temporary
officers: Chairman, Congressman Rice
A. Pierce, of Union City; secretary, N.
u. Robertson, of Lebanon; assistants,
Bob Williams, of Knoxville, and w. l..
Morris, Camden; Sergeants-at arms, j.
ID. johnson. of Henderson,; j. ID. Lotion
Nashville, and John Bennett, of Chat
tanooga. Congressman John Wesley
Gaines was slated for permanent chair
man.
The Carmack men spoke of running
Hon. z. w. Ewing for permanent Chair.
man, but said they would support q
Mcmillan man if acceptable.
Politically, yesterday was lively day
and some of the developments were very
interesting. The senatorial race took
precedence and was the all-abeorbing
topic. The senatorial race, though il
it has no direct bearing in the State
convention, and the probable attitude Of
the friends of Congressman Carmack in
the convention, were the principal to.
pics of discussion.
The test of strength as between the
Nc Millin and Carmack delegates viii
come upon the question of the selection
of a new State Committee. Upon this
question the Carmack men are lining W
for contest. Heretofore the State
Committee has been appointed almost
entirely upon the recommendation Vi
the candidate for Governor and com
posed of eighteen members, with g
Chairman, making a total of nineteen
men on the committee. Ten of these
committeeman have been elected by the
different congressional districts. and the
remainder appointed by the permanent
chairman, as committeeman for the
State at large. The Carmack men viii
advocate committee elected almost
exclusively by the delegations to the
State convention. In other words, they
will ask that two committeeman be
named by the delegations from each
congressional district, and that the ap
pointing power of the permanent chair
man be restricted to three members a.
large.

1t is with sad hearts that we speak of
the death of our dear brother, Robert
Sellars, who died on Knob Creek at the
home of his daug hter, Mrs. }. b. shaw,
on last Wednesday evening, May 2.
Funeral services were conducted at
Knob Creek church, of which congrega-
rion he was a member, by Revs. 5 M.
Gupton of Pulaski, and l. 3. Baker OF
Nashville, after which the remains were
laid to rest by sympathiZing friends.
Truly, a good man has gone from our
midst. He had lived 20 years in our i'm
mediate community. and was mem Der
of our church 40 years and a deacon in
the same for several years. We feel
that he will be missed not only because
OF q vacant place, but that his place can
not be filled. The life of this cody
man Will say more than we in our
feeble way can do. We read in Gods
Word great and precious promises to
the humble follower of the Master, and
truly the reward of SO faithful one rs
Bro. Sellars shall be great indeed. We
are truly thankful to-day that such a
plain pentlt spirited, unassuming
christian as he lived In our midst, anu
pray that his example may be emulated
uy the many friends who are lett to
mourn his death. We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved wife and
children, who watched with such ten
derness by his bedside until earthly as
sistsnce was no longer needed. God
bless you all, with other relatives, es-
pecially the aged brother, who seems to
nave been left alone in the world.
Life is lonely now without you,
And our home is sad and drear,
For we often think about you;
How your presence used to cheer.
Now we miss your merry laughter
And we miss your smiling face;
Oh, we miss you, sadly miss you
None can I'LL your vacant place.
"When we are gathered round the
hearth stone,
There is still vacant place,
And we miss the smile that shone
Like a sun beam on your face.
Every football coming near,
W men the eve is growing late,
Then e list your voice to hear,
For we miss you at the gate"

The Congressional Conventie

The Congressional Convention,
after casting 2OlS ballots, without
changing the result of the first bal
lot, adjourned last week until Tues.
day, July 18th, when it will recon-
veuc at Wynne. 1t is hoped that
in the interim some solution of the
deadlock may be discovered, but to
us it looks like a hopeless case.
The number of ballots already ia
ken, without changing the result,
has demonstrated that the delegates
are sticking to their instructions,
and will probably continue 20 to do,
therefore the only solution of the
Convention being able to nominate
is in the withdrawal of one Of the
candidates. This is unlikely, and
the nomination may be referred
back to the voters. This would
probably be the most satisfactory
and harmonious method of settling
the matter.
