THE TROuTT CONTEST.
Congregational Executive Committee WuI
Meet Again september 40.

The Democratic executive COM
mittee Of the Eighth Congressional
District met at Lexington Thurs.
day Of last week. After the COM
mittee had been called to order by
Chairman William A. Carter, the
votes from the several counties in
the Congressional primary election
were called for and reported by
counties as follows:
Sims Benton $50, Decatur 2l3,
Carroll TAI, Chester 284, Hardin
756, Henderson 774, Henry 1,400
Madison 637, McNairy 524, Perry
837. Total, 6,552.
Trice-Benton 724, Decatur368,
Carroll 753, Chester 685, Hardin
245, Henderson 424, Henry 6O3,
Madison 1913, McNairy $50, Perry
4S. Total, 5,4UO.
Trout Benton "a, Decatur 282,
Carroll "A, Chester l23, Hardin so,
Henderson 81, Henry 458, Madison
COS, McNairy 2O3, Perry IA. To-
tai, 1882.
A motion was made by W. Y.
Barry to declare Mr.. Sims the
nominee, but Mr.. Trout asked per-
mission to read his contest, which
had previously been filed with the
chairman, and MIR. Barry's motion
was not voted on.
Mr. Trout read quite a lengthy
paper in which he charged that for
various reasons the recent primary
was null and void; but if he we're
overruled in this, be took the posi-
tion that he was the legal nominee
under the rules governing the pri-
mary, as both his competitors had
used money in violation of rule 9,
and had thereby forfeited all right
to the nomination. He specified
several persons in varions parts of
the district who had been infuenc-
ed by Mr.. Sims for monetary con-
sideration, and he demanded that
Sims and Trice be required to an
swer under cath the allegations he
had made.
Mr.. Sims denied ell allegations,
and said he was ready to enter on
an investigation. Ma. Sims after
wards wrote cut his denial briefly,
which the committee accepted as
sufficient answer.
Mr.. Trice said he had gone into
the fghtin good faith and had been
7 defeated, and would abide by the
3 result and support the nominee.
) He made no claims to the aomina-
l ton. Some of his friends had hired
aids without his knowledge and
consent, and he had paid the bills
since the primary. Mr.. Trice adj
vised the committee to search out
. the truth and give to the nominee
a clear title.
4 On motion, Mr.. Trice was elimi-
t mated from the contest. The com
mittee wrangled over the mode Of
9 procedure for some time. Mr.. Sims
9 insisted that the committee should
proceed at once to hear testimony
q and declare the result, and claimed
4 the charges made by Mr. Trout,
t ifproven, would not affect his right
! to the nomination.
S Mr.. Trout argued that his Wit
Q nesses were not present, and that
it would require time to get up the
4 proof. He presented a petition to
Judge Levi S. Woods asking for
9 an injunction restraining the com
t mittee from further proceedings,
and asking him to declare the pril
mary null and void, but this woS
refused by Judge Woods.

Political economists have al

Political economists have al
ways contended there was a re-
lation between the high cost Of
necessaries and the increase OF
crime. There is no doubt of the
existing prosperity, and there is
also no doubt of the increase of
crime. Scarcely is there a day
but we read in the newspapers
of the most revolving crimes and
we also read where enormous
money gifts are made to colleges,
churches and benevolent institu-
tions. Only recently Rockefel-
Ter, gave a million to a college,
and Immediately up shot the
price of oil. Mr.. Rockefeller
bays for himself the title of Phil
anthropist, by giving away with
a free hand, at the same time his
gifts come from the toll and
sweat of the poor who are forced
to contribute, by paying increas-
ed price for oil and food. There
fore in these days of ofunparalelled
prosperity the increase OF crime
can be attributed to the preva-
lance of-philanthropy.

A Timely Suggestion.

This lie the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife
replenishes her supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is certain
to be needed before the winter is
over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it
has become settled in the system. In
almost every instance a severe cold
NAV be warded off by taking this
remedy freely as soon as the first in
dication of the cold appears. There
is no danger in giving it to children
for it contains no harmful substance.
1t Is pleasant to take-both adults
and children like it. Buy it and you
will get the best. It always cures.

For several days past various
people have talked to US about
the manipulations of the Trust,
the methods employed, and their
troubles with it generally. We
wish toremind those people that
Their complaints are not consis-
tant with their very recent endors
ment of such institutions. This
newspaper tried to show what
Trusts lead up to, and notwith-
standing our efforts in this d.
rection, some of the very people
who now claim they are being
pinched by the Trusts, exerted
every influence they could bring
to bear to endorse them. We
will not be so cruel to now say
eve told you so," because that
would only add to their suffer
ings, but we will say that Time
is a good teacher and if they
live long enough perhaps they
will realize the truth of all we
said about Trusts the past sum-
mer. It does not come with
GOOD grace from them who ac-
lively supported those repre-
senting Trusts to come to US
now with their complaints OF
bad treatment. They would not
heed US at time when they had
the opportunity, and now that
they have made a hard bed for
themselves, they should lie down
UPON it without murmuring.

In Fossil Town.

It was group Of citizens
Discussed the towns affairs;
And some were young. some not so young,
And some Of hoary hairs;
But all discussed with emphasis
1t was way Of theirs.
And some were rich and some were poor,
And some Of high degree;
But all concurred upon one point
With perfect harmony,
1t was the very deadcSt town
That ever they did see.
And also this: Now, what We need,
AS every man doth know,
Is some bold soul to take the lead
And to the others show
Some plan or other by the which
To make the old town grow.
1t was happy day. they said.
That brought all to this mind
The trouble heretofore had been
That one could never find
\ helping hand for any scheme
10 which he was inclined.
For one pulled this way, one pulled that.
Each with stubborn will;
And all the others did the same
On varying lines, until
The net result was always that
The old town stood stock still.
NOW tnlS WOulQ dIl Ue CudLScu, LliCS Sdiu'
And all would pull in line;
And things would move and things WI hum
And croakerS cease TO whine,
! When everybody pulled his best
And all should pull in line.
Now what was needed. only, was
Some enterpriSing man
TO take the lead and show the rest
Some practicable plan
On which all parties could agree
Before the work began.
Then up spake one, and he was sure
He knew the very scheme:
1t was i new railroad, he said,
The boomers favOrite theme.
The others all sat down on him;
1t was an idle dream"
Another spoke OF water-works,
With eloquence and power;
Another Of big hotel
For tourists on the tour:
One thought it might be well TO try
A mill for milling -four,
A factory, and a bleachery,
Excited some debate;
An iron works, q paper mill,
Had each its advocate:

a turnpike broad and long,
Were each proposed and each pooh-poohed
In chorus loud and strong.
They cost too much, no scheme would go
II it were started wrong.
A dirtroad, then? 4 knitting mill:
Acreamery, somewhere:
A griSt mill? A brick kiln:
The meeting didn't care
To waste it's time anal money
On any cheap affair.
Each speaker had his own idea
And argued it with vim;
The others couldn't see it
And thought its promise dim.
AS each in turn rose up and spoke
The others went for him.
The group adjourned; and then again,
With unanimitee,
And eke with Scorn, day after day.
All spoke their minds so free,
1t was the very deadeSt town
That ever they did see: "
