tiers, Miss Maggie and Miss Nellie,
and two step-daughters, Mrs. Alice
Garland, of Henderson, Tenn, and
Miss Laura Kroger, now in Ger
many studying music.

EBUL1TIoN OF BAD TASTE.
Asevelt Petulantly Roasts Senator
4 Carmack.

Washington, March 3. -Presldent
oosevelt has been pierced to the
suick by the shafts Senator Carmack
mas hurled at him, and in an out
$6urst of anger the other day ne
delivered himself of an opinion OF
kthe Junior Tennessee Senator, al
though he did not call him by name.
The occasion was visit made to
the White House by a number OF
the Tennessee delegation to urge an
appointment. In the delegation
were Representatives Sims, Pad
gett, Gaines, Richardson and Brown
low. Senator Carmack was not
present. He has only been to the
White House once since Roosevelt
became President, and that was
before the Booker T. Washington
dinner.
N The President listened attentive
" to the presentation of the claim
Pof w. S. Morgan for place on the
isthmian canal commission, for it
was on this mission that the del
legation went TO the White House.
PsThe President said he was glad to
Econsider carefully any reccommen-
Sdation the TeuneSseans had to
make. Then all of a sudden the
Rooseveltian ire f1ared up. He
Kissed through his teeth, so the
story goes: "There is one member
of your delegation that | would see
in hell before would do anything
for him." He afterwards modified
the word to hades.
The delegation were placed in
rather awkward position and some
embarrassment ensued. Although
President Roosevelt did not call
Senator Carmack by name il. is well
known that he made reference to
him.
Senator Carmack gave the follow
ing statement to your correspond
ent tonight:
IF the President referred to me,
as am informed he did, in this
manner, 1T was entirely gratuitous,
as I have never asked him for favor
and have not even annoyed him with
my presence at the White House.
/ have spoken very plainly OF the
Presidents official conduct, but al
ways with respect which think
should always be shown to the high
Office, no matter what may be the
character of the man who fills it.
/ intend to deal with it just as
plainly in the future whenever l
have occasion to do so, without any
regard to any favors the President
may have to show"
Senator Carmack characterized
President Roosevelt's reputed utter
ance as a "childish ebulition of
bad taste"

The Dining Car Fake.

Messrs. Evan Blair and Harvey
E. Jones, of Jackson, were in the
city Wednesday. These gentlemen
are travelling freight and passenger
agents of the Mobile and Ohio Rail
road Company, respectively, and
we have their authority for the
statement that the dispatch sent
out from Jackson to the newspapers
to the effect that a negro traveller
had been furnished a seat and service
in the dining car was huge canard.
The report grew out of misunder-
standing on the part of Mr.. John
Gates. 1t seems that the third call
had been made for dinner, and suf-
fcient time having elapsed for the
of the passengers,
one of the walters sat down, as has
been the custom, to take his meal.
Mr.. Gates, happening in about that
time, saw the negro seated at the
other end of the car, and took it
for granted that he was being serv-
ed in the manner of passenger.
The matter was not corrected, how
ever, until the report gained circu-
lation. These gentlemen say that
there is no truth in the report that
the company has issued orders al
lowing negroes the privileges of
the dining car service.
