Governor Frazier.

The Hon. James B. Frazier was duly
and constitutionally inaugurated gov
ernor of the state of Tennessee yester-
day under the most suspicious circum-
stances in the presence of an immense
tbrong OF friends and admirers, and
followed by the best wishes of the
whole people, irrespective of party or
religious creed. No man in late years
has assumed the high station to which
he has been called by the partially of
his fellow citizens with greater oppor-
tunities for promoting the general good
than he, and we but voice the unanim-
GUS sentiment of his countrymen when
we say that we believe he fully appre.
ciates the responsibilities placed upon
his head and that he will do his utmost
to give his state clean and satisfacto-
ry government.
His inaugural address takes very
high ground, and the sentiments he
utters, coming from the source they
do, will meet the hearty commentator
of the people and inspire confidence in
his honesty and zeal in administering
the important affairs committed to his
charge. Speaking to the senators and
members of the legislature present he
used the following language:
We are the chosen servants of the
people, charged with the sacred trust,
to enact and execute laws that will tend
to preserve tranquility, maintain JUS
tice, insure economy and promote pros
perity. And I pledge you, gentlemen,
representatives of the free people OF
this sovereign state, my hearty and
cordial cooperation in the enactment
of every proper measure having for it's
purpose the promotion of the peace and
happiness of the people, the suppress
sion of vice, the guaranty of economy
in public expenses, the elevation of the
standard of education and morality
among our people, the preservation Of
| the public credit and the development
Of the splendid resources of our state.
We could ask for no clearer declara
tion than this of the duties and respon.
sibilities of the chief executive of the
state and have a right to believe thai
with Mr.. Frazier this expression o.
purpose is no mere assemblage o.
words, bnt the announcement of de
fined and decided policy that will guide
him in the performance of every officia
act. To the end that the new governor
may carry out to the utmost his lofty
purpose to serve all the people faith
fully and well, let us all give him oul
hearty, cordial and unqualified support

Not BY Coercion.

The reputed demand of the Hon.
Walter Preston Brownlow and the Hon.
John L. Mccall that the republicans in
the senate vote against the Adams four
mile bill unless the senator's favoring
that measure vote for amendments to
the election laws is not within the
bound Of reason. There are thousands
of democrats in the state, the American
among them, who believe these laws
need amendment, but they will not
have any patience with a party which
resorts to coercion in an effort to amend
them, The election commission law is
especially obnoxious to many demo-
Gratis, and there are also defects in
some of the other laws governing cleo
tions which should be cured, but the
dominant party can not be driven.
AS Senator W. II. Nelson said in an
interview with the legislative cores

republicans trying to make a deal with

esty are twins by birth. l will make
no such a deal with the democrats, but

This is said in the proper spirit, and
will have weight with all thinking men

are made against the laws, they vii

pected, according to advices from that
section, that this part Of the road will
be constructed during 1903.
Reports from Johnson City, Bristol
and other points in Northeastern Ten
nessee to the effect that the Southern
Railway would take the South & West
ern are unconfrmed, but it appears to
be the intention of President George
l.. Garter and his associates to continue
heSouth & Western as dn independent
line, one which must sooner or later be
necessary to the development of the
coal fields to which it is proposed to
extend the road Since it was an
nounced that the South & Western
would be built into the Toms Creek
fields some very large sales of coal
lands have been made in that country,
and its opening up of railroads is re-
garded as decided beyond peradventure.
The cause of the breaking off of the
deal, which was conducted through the
Union Trust Co., has been announced,
but it is understood that final terms
could not be agreed upon after the
transaction was regarded by everyone
as having been closed. 1t is reported
that would have Melted the syndicate
not less than $3.50, 900 profit. The plan,
as announced several months ago, was
for the Seaboard to acquire the South &
Western Railway and to extend it not
only to Toms Creek, but through
Eastern Kentucky to the Ohio river,
where it would be connected with the
Detroit Southern. Also that interests

Southport, at the mouth of the Cape
Fear river. Thus railroad would be
established from the Atlantic ocean tc
the Great Lakes via the inexhaustible
coal beds Of Virginia and Kentucky, sc
that fuel could be shipped in either di.
rection and find water transportation
awaiting it. The Cape Fear Railway
Terminal Co. was organized by Alvin
r. Morrison and others of Wilmington
DEL. to build the Southport connec
ton, so that the projected line west
ward would be composed as follows
Southport to Wilmington, N. O., Cap,

CoX's AMENDMENTS.

Mr.. Cox's first amendment simply
provided for local option in towns Of
5000, that elections to decide the wet
and dry questions might be held once
every two years, upon application Of
oneAffth of the voters Of such town. It
gave the details as to how these cleo
tions should be held. This was voted
down, and Mr.. Adams claimed no pro-
visions we're made for voting whisky
out of a town. Mr.. Cox then came
back with q second amendment, which
was copy of the first, except that il
also provided for holding elections to
vote whisky out of towns of 1000 to
5000 inhabitants. This was also tabled
and the third amendment was offered
by Mr.. Cox. This amendment was
simply the old Peeler bill in extended
form, with the additional provision
that elections should not be held often
er than once in two years.
