RumOrS of Bribery,

Some of our contemporaries continue
to hint that the senate of the recent
legislature was corrupt body of law
makers at least one of them makes
the charge direct that an investigation
would reveal almost as much bribery
in the Tennessee Legislature as has been
uncovered in the case of Missouri. This
charge is made by the Columbia Her
aid, an entirely responsible newspaper
with a good record for conservatism.
Then a correspondent of the Memphis
News, writing from Nashville near the
close of the session, charged that the
senate held up the revenue bill in order
to bleed certain interests, and that a
combination of senators waxed pretty
fat off the proceeds of the hold-up. We
are not prepared to believe all this,
The holding up of the revenue bill was
suspicious, but it is extremely doubtful
if it was done for the purpose of secur-
ing bride money from interests affected
by that measure. AT any rate we re-
greet that these suspicious have found
publicity. They do the state no good
and can therefore serve no laudable
purpose. Thelegislature has adjourned,
its record is closed, and for the good of
the STATE it should be allowed to rest. -

any viewpoint, and if they had been

feeling that one OF the outraged resi-

Of the negro to political, civil and So

As guests of the Monday Club, the
delegates were given an excursion up
the East Tennessee and Western North
Carolina Railroad, and viewed the
beautiful scenery along that route, as
it winds through the farms lying near
the Watauga river, and around the
mountains that tower above it. The
grand scenery seen in "The Gorge"
was peculiarly impressive and inspired
in the minds of the excursionist that
feeling which such scenery always in
spires-a sensation of pleasure mixed
with awe, as if gazing on the mighty
works of the Creator while standing III

tably entertained by Mrs. j. A. Maher,
daughter of Gen. John 7. Wilder,
and, after a day Of pleasure, returned
to the city.
The evening session of the Fedora
ton on the 9Th, was its last. AT this
session the printed program was prac-
tically carried out and the audience
was highly entertained by Mrs. Bee
lers paper on the historical novel by
Mrs. Greve's poem, '"The Twin Sis
tiers, and by civilian Morris, Master
Craftsman, as delivered by Prof. Rose,
Of the University of Tennessee, illus

vocal solo by Misses Elsie Hickman
and Lena Barton and Chas. Cargille,
and the violin duet, with piano accom-
paniment, by Mes ames Miller, Mil
lard and Sproles, were charming addi-
tions to the pleasure of the evening.
After the usual resolutions on such
occasions, and the singing of America,
the Rev. J. E. Brown pronounced the
benediction, the meeting was adjourned
and the 9TH annual meeting of the Fed

The Federation was called to order by
the president promptly at $50 q. m. ,
and after the invocation by Mrs. G. X.
Lide, and very pretty piano solo by
Miss Grace Hart, the regular work OF
the convention was taken up, the first
of which was the election of treasurer
to succeed Mrs. Salzkotter. To this
office Mrs. M. L. Dame, of Hartman,
was unanimously elected
Reports on credentials, art, civics,
civic housekeeping, travelling libraries,
scholarships, reciprocity and printing
were made by Mesdames st. John and
Hart, of johnson City; Mrs. Givan, of
Hartman; Mesdames Woodwork and
Schneider, of Chattanooga, and Mes
danes Richards, Dickson and Ander-
son. Discussions of civics and travel
ing libraries were made by Mrs. Baker,
of Whittle Springs and Mrs. Robinson,
of Mission Ridge.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the morning session was 1.-The Story
of Travelling Library" by Mrs. Ca
wood, of Maryville, in which were
graphically, pathetically and beauti
fully pictured the journey, work and
results accomplished by box of books
that was sent out into the Businesses Of
our mountains, and into the homes of
people to whom books are almost stran-
gers. The story aptly illustrated one
of the wants of the mountaineers and
their pleasure and benefit when it is
supplied, adding great force to the re-
marks OF Miss Moore on the 9th, when
she described her work among those
mountain peeple-a people cropping in
ignorance, but longing for knowledge.
The afternoon session, at which pa
pers were read, reports made and dis
cussions had by Mesdames Johnston,
Sparks and Arnell, was devoted to edu-
cational themes and full of interest.
Music by a chorus of home talent, and
piano solo by Miss Moore, of Jones
boro, were pleasing portions of the af-
ternoon session.
After the close of the afternoon SEES
sion, the ladies visited the public IL
brary, and were much pleased with the
work that has been accomplished by
