SENATOR CARMACK.

The Herald has never felt prouder or
| fonder of Senator Carmack than it does
today, and we hope none of our readers
will fail to read his interview in the
Memphis News, and reproduced in
another column of this paper.
Speaking of the drinking, gambling,
lawless element of Memphis. Mr.. Car
mack says These people have grown
insolent and defiant through long i'm
munity from punishment. until condl-
tions have become intolerable to self
respecting public man. And so far as
l am concerned. 1 say frankly that 1
would rather have the honor of purg-
ing this city of this insolent and law
less element than to be Senator of
the United States; and l intend to do
it. -
We do not believe there is another
public man in Tennessee who would
have the courage to speak those words.
There are many of them who have
like convictions, but none of them
have like courage of their convictions.
And there lies the difference between
the time server and the patriot; be-
tween the politician and the statesman.
Oh, that the state had few more
such men who had rather be right
than to hold Office. Men who have the
virtue to despise the wrong, the cour-
age to declare themselves, and the
eloquence to fire the hearts of all the !
people. Would that we had more
patriots and fewer politicians in len
nessee among our public men. Would |
that we had more leaders who had
rather have the honor of purging |
their cities of this insolent and law
ess class, =" than to buy their support
by trucking to their insolent de-
mands.
All honor to Carmack II is an
herculean task he has set himself to
May God fire his tongue,
his speech, iaise him up
helpers everywhere, and give him
complete victory in the end

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
ANNE Lee cheatham, Young Negro
Woman. Burned IN Her Home
Beyond East Hill.

Annie Lee Chatham. young negro
woman about 20 years old. met hor-
rible fate Wednesday about O'Clock,
by being burned to death In her home
about one mile from town, just beyond
East Hill.
1t seems that she was an epileptlc,
and that when the house caught fire,
in the excitement she fell to the floor
IN a fit. There was no one in the
house except her; her father. Henry
Cheatham, being in town ut work for
Mr. Z. W. Gamble. whom she serves
as porter. Consequently, there was
no one to rescue her. a negro woman
named Pillow, who lived close by,
discovered the flames and gave the
alarm. viii Odil, negro boy, ran to
the house, and found the Cheatham
woman lying near the doorway, in
mass of flames. He seized bucket of
water and threw il ON her, but could
not stifle the flames. The woman was
burned beyond recognition. In fact,
so completely that nothing but the
charred remains of the trunk were left,
TIE limbs, arms and head being en-
TREY burned off.
The mouse was also complete loss,
as was the household furniture. Only
a few quilts and clothes were saved.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated.

continue the fight we have been max
ing against him. We were told sew
eral weeis ago that the opposition to
him in Lewis were going TO bring out a
man against him. They have not
done 50. They still say they are going
TO. hut we do not believe they will.
We were told several weeks ago that if
the opposition in Lewis did not bring
out a man against him. the Anti
Saloon League of the State would.
They have not. and we do not believe
that they will. In the meantime he
has secured the official endorsement of
the executive committees of the three
counties of the district; and while we
do not admire him as a man in the
least, and while we do not consider
him the nominee of the party, and do
not intend TO support him. still we
have gone as far in our opposition to
him as we think ouI duty requires or
as the interest of the public demands
and we propose to quit. If the future
develops anything concerning his can
didacy which we wish to commend or
TO condemn, we will do so but for the
present we are done.
In the discussion of the question we
have not been influenced by any personal
prejudice against Mr.. Schubert. A
man may not entertain the highest g.
gard for another, ard yet be free of all
malice or prejudice. The information
him came to us from re-
sponslble and reliable witnesses. 1t
came to us unsolicited at first. And
that imposed upon us, from our view
point of the case, a responsibility and
duty to the people of this county. We
presented the case to the people as a
lawyer would present it to jury. We
called upon the defendant to make his
defense, and gave him every chance
to do so. He has done so. If he is
satisfied to let it rest where it is, we
are. The people are the jurors. They
have the case. They will return their
verdict at the November election, and
heir wishes shall be obeyed.
1t may not be untimely or out of
place to say this much at this time.
We have heard some very good people !
md very good democrats say they !
would support a republican in prefer
,nce to Mr.. Schubert The Herald will
lot do that. And the Herald would
lot advise any of its friends to do that.

A DUCK RIVER KiFLEMAN.
Col. Sam Shannon Makes a Correction
as to Battle of franklin.

To the Editor of the Herald -
Please publish the accompanying
letter from Col. Sam L. Shannon.
The information as TO the position
and support of the Duck River Rifle
men in the Battle of Franklin was
obtained from some members of the
Company, who were more likely to be
mistaken than Col. Shannon. The
Confederate advance was on converging
lines, and as it approached the Federal
works there was more or less overlap
ping of the different commands; so
much so. that both Gems. Schofield
and Cox thought that the attack was
in column. If these Federal com.
manders were mistaken in so important
a statement. it is natural that

BIG FORESTS BURNING UP
California's Giant Redwoods Threat.
 ened With Destruction.

San Francisco, Sept. 9.-Forest fires are doing great damage in several sec tions of California. In Alameda and Contra Costa counties. thousands of acres of land have been swept by flames and many houses are destroyed. the loss reaching S101OOO. In Marion county fires have burned over the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais and are now threatening Mount Tamalpais scenic railway and the timber in adjacent canyons. The big basin in the state park in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, which contains some Of the largest redwood trees in the state. seems doomed for destruction, though hundreds of men are fighting the fires.
 In Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, thousands of acres of pastur- age have been burned and stock is driven from the ranges. None of the fires are yet under control and no es- innate of the total losses can be made.

FORBES WHIPS MAGONEY
Dago Mike Went Down in the Eighth
 Round, Badly Battered Up.

Denver, Sept. 9.-Harry Forbes of Chicago. ex-champion bantam weight, won from Mike MagOney, otherwise "Dago" Mike of Leadville, in-the eighth round of a go that was scheduled for ten rounds at the Democratic club to- night. Magorey's seconds threw up the sponge after he had been knocked down three times and was lying help less on the floor. The battle was fast from the start and Forbes went after Mike so viciously that the latter was practically out when the gong sound ed in the seventh round.
 Forbes practically used himself up by the pace he set and was unable to land a knockoua blow, although he seemed to have Mike at his mercy. Mike was knocked down or fell from eXhaus- tion nearly two dozen times and in the fifth round he staggered to the ropes with blood covering his face and chest and nearly fell out of the ring. Forbes might have ended the mill here but stood compassionately in the center of the ring waiting for the Leadville man 10 recuDerate.

It Is Only Certain That kuropatkin Has Es-

The Japanese, Wearied With Their Endeavors Before Liao Yang and the Successive Pursuit, Were Unable to Reap the Fruits of What Ought to Have Been a Victory.

There is still a lack of specific infor- nation regarding the eXlct situa ion il Manchuria. The Russian general staff, lacking details, is unable to speak au- thoritatively, while advices from Jap anese sources are significantly lacking. It is established that the Russian aG my IS safely at Mukden and that the re- treat was accomplished in good Crder When last heard from Kurokrs forces were on the Russian left flank and steadily pushing northward.
 General SakharOff reports that there was no fighting during Thursday and While the outposts are still in contact they are not exchanging shots. A de- tailed list of the Russian losses is promised today and it is expected that their losses will approximate 10000 as against 30,C00 for the Japanese. It is officially reported that Kuroratkin has not been wounded.

Bruises on Mrs Wal lace's head indicate that she had re- gently figured in struggle with some one. The coroner is investigating.

TOO TIRED TO FOLLOW.
The Japanese Pursuit of KurooatItin
 Abandoned.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 9.-It seems to be definitely established that Field Marshal Oyama's tired troops aban- doned on Wednesday the attempt to head off General Kuropatkin. who e army has arrived safely at Mukden after friEhtful eXperiences in founder ing through mud and mire over Man churian roads. Some descriptions of incidents along the line Of retreat are almost incredible. They tell how meu lay down in the mud and sleot n drenching rain.
 It is evident that the last deterin' ,. ed effort of the Japanese to bring nI- rnDatltin to bay was made on Tues. day but the Russ.1n commander in chief faced about and two corps with artillery beat off the Japanese. ~wh'io the remainder of the troops continued the march to Mukden. After that t.le Japanese could only hang on the flank, and try to shell the retrcatiHg columns from the hills. The outposts are stu in contact. but they are rot even ex. changing shots.
 A late Associated Press disDas n sent tonight from Mukden describes the horrible plight of the tentless 2 d shelterless soldiers. A detailed state ment of the Russian losses it is prom nsed will be issued on Saturday and is awaited with intense interest. The gzn- eral expectation is that the losses will approximate 10000 as against 3c.O00 for the Japanese. The work of bury ing the dead was left to the Japanese who were forced tn attempt the task as a matter of self preservation. but it was an almost iI' possible underta'.- ing. The aVtu' rains have handic1D- eG the work of cremation on whlcf. the Japanese relied. and only shallJw trench burIal5 were possible in mauv C; ses under the circumstances. Not only is such .. burial one of great f. ficulty, but it is almost valueless as he storms mde' rIne it soon aft.r this is accomplished.
 The care of the wounded has taxed the hospitals to the utmost One cor
