Another Bond Fight.

Murfreesboro, Tenn, July a.
Cannon County is in the throes OF
a red hot railroad election to decide
whether the county will subscribe
for S13S, 900 in bonds to build a
road from Woodbury. to Murfrees-
boro or to some point on the Craw.
ford road. 1t is not definitely
known here how the sentiment is
forming in regard to the PROPOSE
ton, but that the feeling is as hot
as the weather itself is indicated
by a report which has reached here
that 81, 900 has been sent from here
to Woodbury. to defeat the move
ment, inasmuch as the merchants
here fear that the building of the
road will ruin their trade in that
county. OF course such report is
an absolute falsehood, but it might
be effectively used in prejudicing
the minds of those misinformed.

WHAT'S THE USE OF 1Tq

The American and some of the
other hopefuls tells us we have
got the Philippines and it is alb
sLrd to talk about imperialism.
Then what the deuce is left for
the Democratic party to fight
with. Free trade was abandoned
years ago, free silver has been
abandoned, an income tax consid-
cred impractical, and some a little
bolder than the American speak
of the benefits to be derived from
the organization of trusts. The
Democratic party is out of a job,
and as long as there are no definite
or specific rules or measures upon
which the organization is to hold
it will still be out of a job for
years to come. AS long as they
say the Constitution is only form
and the Declaration fancy, soon
err or later both of the old parties
will forsake the old Ship OF
State. There is just about as much
sense in holding on to free silver
as there is in taking up free trade.
They are both hopelessly buried,
and the Republican party forced
us to leave them. Are we going
to join them in turning our backs
upon the old Boston Tea Party
If we do then there is little use in
yelling your throat sore over D.
B. Hill, but just take q seat in the
elephants tent and let the big
show proceed.

Mrs. Evelyn Coulter.

The friends of Boone d. Coulter
learn with profound sorrow the
sudden death of his wife last Tues
day morning. Mrs. Coulter left
the house to gather some fruit in
the yard. Returning she took a
glass of ice water, which produced
instantaneous congestion and death
in a few minutes, before a ply
stefan could be summoned.
Miss EVELYN O'Quin was born
June 2, 1882, and was reared IN Gov
ington, Tenn. Her father was a
Baptist minister, and removing to
New Madrid, Mo-, Mr. Coulter and
Miss O'Quin were married at that
place October %, 1900. Mrs.
Coulter was a member of the Bap-
fist church and an estimable Chris
tian character.
Thus ends abruptly the happy
promise of a lifelong companship,
which would, indeed, be very dis
tressing if it were not that there is
an assurance of a reunion in
another and happier existence.
Services were held Wednesday
afternoon at $50 at the residence
of Col. J. M. Coulter by Elder T.
A. Reynolds. The pail bearers
were: H. Il. Robinson, III. M.
Golden, T. M. Pierce, c. V. Jones,

Poor Health, Old Age and Despond-
ency the Cause of the Deed.
The Fulton Leader reports the
following
Monday afternoon, just after din
ner. Mr.. Pleas Yater, a wealthy
farmer, living three miles west of
Fulton. on the State Line road,
attempted to end his life by taking
the contents Of an ounce bottle of
laudanum.
His son soon discovered what
Mr.. Yater had done, and physician
was telephoned for at once. When
DR.. Nat Morris reached Mr.. Yater's
bedside he found him in very
dangerous condition, positively re-
fusing to accept OF any medical
attention whatever, saying that he
did not want to recover. and if he
was saved this time he would repeat
the attempt, and he only wished he
had taken strychnine instead of
laudanum. But he soon became
unconscious, and DIR. Morris went
to work ON the sick man, who soon
began 10 vomit and otherwise show
symptoms of recovery. BY a few
hours hard work and manipulation
the deadly effect of the poison was
somewhat arrested, and Mr.. Yater
was thought to be out of danger
Tuesday morning He is now suf-
fering from arrangement OF the
kidneys, caused by the effects OF
the poison, and, owing to his ex-
IRENE old age, may never get en-
tirely well.
Mr.. Yater is II years of age, and
in very poor health, and of late has
often been heard to say that he
thought he had lived his time out
and that he would not walk ten feet
to save his life from any danger.
Mr.. Yater purchased the lauda-
mum about week ago from
Earnest Bennett, at Miller & Ben.
nett's drug store, and asked repeat
eddy in regard to the amount of the
usual dose. Mr.. Bennett cautioned
him to always read carefully the
directions on the label before taxi
ing dose.
Mr.. Yater has been acting IN a
rather eccentric manner OF late,
and his relatives and friends have
feared for some time that his mind
was not right.
Mr.. Yater is a widower and a
wealthy farmer. He keeps an &C
count in the First National Bank
here, and on Monday morning
made a deposit, requesting the
cashier to fix his account book in
good shape, as he did not know
what might happen at any time,
Mr.. Yater's friends here noticed
that he was very respondent and
scarcely spoke to anyone on the
streets.

RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
What the Candidates are Doing In
Dog Days.

What the Candidates are Doing in
Dog Days.
From the Scimitar we gather
the following
Although the day of election is
one of the events of an exceedingly
uncertain and distant future, the
State gubernatorial campaign is
keeping pace with the weather in
warmth.
Judge John G. Ferris, of Nash
vile, has opened his campaign.
The initial oratorlcal effort of this
gentleman was made at Waverly, a
place where great many Tennes-
see political booms wave started.
To use theatrical term, it has
long been the custom in that Sec
ton Of the State for man seized
and possessed of an untried and
improved rhetorical effort to go to
Waverly and "try it on the dog"
In some respects, therefore, Wav-
erly may be said to be a sort OF
political pulse.
Judge Swiggart is up at Mont
eagle taking rest. The State
Teachers Meeting is in session
there so is the Board of Phar-
macy and there are number OF
other events on tap that will give
the Judge an opportunity to COM
bine politics with pleasure.
Newt White has taken a final
view of the situation and has de-
cided that he is not ready to make
the race for Governor.
From Chattanooga comes story
after story telling of the activity
of Jim Frazier's boom. The "Tall
Sycamore of the Tennessee" as
his adherents fondly dub him, Is
getting down to active organiza-
ton. He is perhaps making a
more systematic effort than all the
Others put together.
Apropos, it is SAID that the main
reliance OF the Chattanooga con-
tingent is decomposition for other
Offices. They have figured it out
that there win be enough trading
in sight with Middle and West
Tennessee to give them a sure
thing.

Did He Try Suicide 2

MEMPHIS. July pa. H. Hen
bricks, of Fowlkes, Dyer County,
came to Memphis yesterday and
registered at the Arlington. At IL
o'clock there was no symptom OF
disease or other physical trouble,
but at 3 O'Clock this morning he
was discovered in great distress.
During the day his wife and brother
reached the city, and the patient
was removed to st. Joseph's Hos
pital, where, according to his bro
Their, who is doctor, he has mala-
rial fever of very high temperature.
According to the Sisters in charge
of the institution, they understood
he was taken out there to be treat
ed for morphine poisoning. This
is the situa ton so far as the illness
of Hendricks is concerned.
AS to the ca use of suspicion that
he attempted suicide, Dyersburg re-
ports that he confessed the fraud
ulent use of the names of his father
and father-in-law in securing about
$6, 900 from the bank at that place,
claiming that he had been losing in
grain speculation and would pay up
when he became able. He is said
to have obtained some $4,000 or
SIS. 900 more from banks at Union
City, Martin and Newbern, though
on what security is not stated, but
bank officers at these places declin-
ed to confirm or deny the report in
answer to direct inquiries on the
subject.
Hendricks has a plantation of
vast proportions in Dyer County I;
his family connection is of the best,
and he has enjoyed universal conf
dence and esteem; hence the pres
emit turn in his affairs, accompanied
by what gives rise to suspicion OF
attempted suicide, has created quite
a sensation in the towns where he
is best known in a business and
social way.
