SOUND THE BUeLE, CHARGE:

Lest Some Of orr readers should in
adv erteniiy overlook most forceiui
and timely article. we call their atter-
ton 10 the communication Of Mr.. Geo.
L. Hughes, on another page. Its logic
is irresistible. and carries conviction
with il The suggestion that our cause
should be appealed from a court under
tine bypnctic influence OF the Whiskey
KING, 10 the people, and that our ag-
gre s,ive fight should be con tinuously
Kept up. is a good one. The Demo-
cratic patty should and will control the
next legislature. The temperance
Democrats of Tennessee should and We
believe will control that party, and they
should make their next platform SO
broad and plain that time servlng, pot
house politicians cannot misinterpret
or misconstI ne 10, and will not dare to
violate it. The contention of Frank
Thompson, Chairman Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, and
that to extend the four mile law to
towns above five thousand inhabitants,
would be hurtful TO the interests of the
Democratic marry. If that contention
is true, then The temperance people and
the Democratic party OF Tennessee
have reached the parting OF their ways.
But that Is not true. The trouble with
the party is. not that it stands for too
much, but that it stands for too little.
IT, il too full of buncombe and wind,
and not enough of real helpful, practi-
cal legislation. 1t has too many Frank
Thompsons it, with their personal
axes to grind. Two years from now
will be political year; presidential
year, a senatorial year; nevertheless,
this temperance question will claim the
right of way and will not longer down
at the bidding of the politicians. The
people have been ridden long enough.
Henceforth they propose to do little
of the riding themselves. And they are
rough riders at that. And some of these
whiskey soaked politicians, if they
don't sober up and get in the band
wagon or get out of the way. will be
run over. If, as the redoubtable Col.
Archibald Hughes said in Nashville
they would do, the Republicans and
whiskey men in this county will COM
bine on legislative candidates, let them
combine. The Democrats will gain IN
personnel the best there is in the he
publican ranks, and forfeit to them the
worst there is in the Democratic ranks;
and the exchange will draw the line
more properly where it belongs. Col.
Hughes by promising mongre dele
cation from Maury to the legislature
two years hence, won on that issue in
his efforts to defeat the Columbia Bill
Now let's sec if he can deliver the goods.

SUCCESS

"IS the coward who quits to

~ IT'S the knave who changes

Ills the fool who wins half the

Then throws all his chances

There is little III life but labor,

Success is the bride of Endeavor

INADVERTENTLY"

The whiskey men have had another
Jolt. They thought they had discovered
a fatal defect in the Adams law. Ac-
cording TO their copy the caption of the
bill contained the word "annul' instead
of the word :'amend" But in card to
the Banner Senator Adams explains
that. The word ''annul' was not in the
original or engrossed copy, but the state
printers, who seem to have been almost
crimnally careless in so important a
matter, had made the mistake, and it
was one of their uncorrected proofs that
was giving this false hope to the whis-
keyites. The mistake, fortunately,
was discovered by Senator Adams be-
fore it went into the published acts;
otherwise the Adams law would indeed
and in truth have been "annulled."
This reminds us of another case.
Some thirty or more years ago, the
people of Maury and Marshal counties
built what was then known as the Duck
River Valley Railroad; running from
Columbia to Lewisburg. A few years
thereafter the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis Railway Co., then a COM
peting line with the Louisville & Nash
vile Railway Co., proposed to take
charge of and operate that road, and to
guarantee to Columbia Nashville"
freight rates from anywhere and every
where, provided Columbia would re-
linquish its stock interest in the road,
for which the city had issued $4,000 in
bonds.
Columbia's best lawyers examined
the proposition, which of course was in
writing and wordy enough, and pro
nounced it good. And as it was better
freight rates and not stock dividends
the people we're after, the Railroads
proposition was accepted, and the agree
ment recorded in due form according to
law. Then the original copies suddenly
and mysteriously we're all lost, strayed
or stolen, and later it was discovered
that in copying and recording the
agreement, wherein the railroad
promised Nashville" rates to Columbia,
instead of the word Nashville, the
copyist "inadvertently" used the word
"Shelbyville'-and 80 it stands to this
good day; and the N. G. & St. l.. Rail
way Co. are still using that road, for
which, owing to this "inadvertency,
they never paid one single cent.
Such "inadvertept' mistakes as TAX
ing the word "amend" for "annul,"
and "Shelbyville" for Nashville
under the peculiar circumstances, are
a trifls suspicious, to say the least of it.

STILL FIGHTING.

A sweet good woman whose htsban q
is engaged in the sale of whiskey In
Columbia teleDhoned to toe ecitor OF
the Herald today: II was just waiting
to congratulate and thank you for your
efforts in the passage of the Dlspensary
pill. when the Governor disappointed
us all with his veto. Then again
| waited, hoping to congratulate and
thank you for the passage of the second
bill, when again our hopes were
frus rated by the Senate. But want
to tank you none the less for what
you did, ana what you tried to do,
aud to ask you not to give up the
fight hone and pray that the good
men of Columbia Will keep up the
fight until they drive every man In
the business out of it, and whiskey out
of Columbia. In reply we will say
that the Herald has no notion of giving
up the fight. On the contrary, we feel
greatly encouraged by what has been
done for other towns, and confidently
expect two years from now to see Co.
lumbia res ,ued from this accursed
traffic. 1t were bad enough If only the
men who drink were made to suffer
for their sinful folly; but 1t is hard
he ,rt, Indeed, that does not melt in
sympathy for innocent wives, moth

to suffer the brutal anger of drunken
beasts, and to carry through life the
heavy load of shame and sorrow ana

who have vowed at the altar to love,
