TENNEssEE'S CAPITOL.

The grounds upon which the
capitol stands were purchased by
the city of Nashville from George
w. Campbell for 100000, and
presented to the state December,
1913, and is perhaps the most
beautiful site for a capitol build
ing in the world, being in the
center of the city and 1877 feet
above the level of the Cumberland
river. Grading the grounds was
begun January 1, 1914; the corner
stone was laid July 4, 1915; the
building was completed March Is,
1859.
The capitol is entirely of Ten
nessee material, and is freproof.
The building is a paralIelogram,
112x239 feet; extreme height 206
feet seven inches. Total cost of
building and grounds, $1,500,000
VIM. Strickland was architect,
and is entombed in the wall of the
northern portico.
Hon. Sam D. Morgan was presi-
dent of building commission, and
is also buried in the wall of the
portico on southern end of build
ing.
The first session of the legisla-
ture was held in the building, be-
fore it was completed, in 1858.
Hon. Andrew johnson was first
governor inaugurated IN the new
capitol, Oct. %, 1855.
President James K. Polk anc
wife are buried on the grounds.
A fine bronze statue of Genera
Jackson adorns the grounds on the
east side of the capitol.
We have more than fifty vari
cites of forest growths, besides
much shrubbery of different vari
cites.
The house IS lighted by electric
ity, and is supplied with al
abundance of water, and is heated
by hot air.
From the dome of the building
a magnificent view is had of the
city and surrounding country fol
twenty miles.

nessee Mr.. Frazier encountered a
busy season during the first few
days. The appointments up to
date have been in the tobacco re-
gion, and the farmers have been
taking advantage of bright wealth
er to cut and dry their crops. This
has prevented many from hearing
HIM. There have been fine
audiences, however, and Mr..
Frazier has always made favor
able impression, his addresses
causing much comment and the
highest compliments.

BOTH CANDIDATES AT DRESDEN.

L
A staff correspondent of the
Nashville American gives the fol
lowing account of the speaking at
Dresden Friday:
The great feature of the hap
penings in Tennessee politics the
past week was the meeting at
Dresden on Friday, when the Dem
ocratic and Republican candidates
for the governorship measured
strength. The easy manner in
which the Hon. James B. Frazier
carried off the honors of the day
was surprising to the most enthu-
siastic Democrat. Judge Henry
Tyler Campbell was far from able
to cope with his Democratic oppo-
nent, and the atmosphere about
the few Republicans in the crowd
ed court room reached a point al
most equal to frost. They showed
the appearance of a badly beaten
crowd long before Mr.. Frazier
concluded.
The Democrats over in Weakley
county had not had the opportu
nifty of seeing Mr.. Frazier pitted

AN ELOQUENT SPEECH.
Hon. Jas. B. Frazier Delivered One
of the Best Talks Ever Heard
in Obion County

III ODlOu OOuuGy'
Hon. James B. Frazier, the Dem
ocratic nominee for the guberna-
torial chair, arrived in this city
Sunday at noon from Trenton,
where he addressed two large
crowds Saturday one at the fair
grounds in the afternoon and in
the courthouse at night.
Mr.. Frazier remained at the
Palace Hotel until Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, when he was
escorted by committee of prom
inent citizens, composed of Mayor
John T. Walker, L. S. Parks, Seid
Waddell, Judge A. j. Lawson and
others, to the city schools, where
he made short but appropriate
talk to the pupils.
In the circuit court room at the
courthouse promptly at 80 O'Clock
Chairman George p. Hurt OF the
county Democratic executive COM
mittee called the meeting to order,
and Col. John E. Wells, q member
of the State Executive Committee,
in few well chosen words intro
duced to the Democrats of Obion
the next Governor of Tennessee.
Mr.. Wells said: "When the De-
mocracy assembled in convention
some months ago to nominate the
next Governor, by one accord
they named man not heretofore
of the Office holding class, but q
private citizen. He is deserving
of this high honor,- being mag
nifcently endowed, morally and
intellectually. He will make q
Governor of whom we may we'll
be proud, and Democrats every
where will esteem it a pleasant
duty to do all they can to aid in
his election. | present Hon. Jas.
B. Frazier, of Chattanooga"
Mr.. Frazier spoke two hours
and a half. He discussed State
and Dational issues, and here, as
elsewhere, completely won his
audience. The magnetism he pos
sesses is wonderful, and the ad
dress elected the most favorable
comment, many declaring it the
best political speech ever heard in
Obion county.
Mr.. Frazier is brainy man, a
natural orator, good, clean, clear
cut Democrat, and our prediction
is that Judge Campbell will have
to get some several humps In his
back if he keeps the Democratic
majority in Tennessee below sixty
five thousand in November.
| Mr.. Frazier stated that if elected
he could do nothing unless fortified
by an able and honest legislature
The Democracy of Obion had nom
mated a fine ticket, he said, anc
he asked for the election of G. E
Bowden as state senator, r. w
OglesbY as representative, and Dr.
F. M. McRee as foater.

A Great Power Plant.

A large plant, to furnish water
and electric power for the mines at
Dewey Camp and for Camas
Prairis, is to be installed this year
on the South Fork of the Clear
water river, by syndicate OF
eastern capitalists, who have care
fully looked into the project since
last fall, and who on the quiet had
a party here some months ago
looking over the whole situation.
Walter Hovey Hill made the
survey for the line of the fiume,
and a careful estimate of the cost,
all having been approved by the
syndicate engineer.
The river is to be damned above
Hinkle's Ferry, from where tht
water is to be conveyed two ane

Camp, where q fall of 102 fee

sufficient to create 1000 horse

The lecture was on the linss OF
making the most of life and it's OPP
portunities, and was regarded by
those in attendance as one of the
best ever heard in Spokane. Col.
Copeland has been on the lecture
platform for the past % years, and
has delivered 1902 lectures. He

When Capt. Thompson and the
experts from Butte examined the
Evergreen mine for Mr.. Clark,
they paid much attention to get
ting plenty of cheap power, with
out which the large bodies of low
grade ore, as found in the camp,
cannot be worked at a profit.
The electric power is to be con-
veyed to any part of the prairie,
even If profits are small to begin
with. Through this power plant
the future of the Dewey mining
camp is assured, which means
much for our town and the prairie.
The conveying OF the power into
town means cheap light; cheap
power for our mills; cheap fuel
for cooking and heating electric
stoves are fast coming into use ,
all of which is to be furnished
cheaper than by any competing
concern.
