for Mayor Myers next term. and of
the shaping of fractional politics for
| the office of Mayor two years hence.
These are obscured by the Osborne
| letters and the attack of Hon. New
ton Morris. And yet it is promised
that the excitement has not really
begun.
Those who are close to Mr.. Osborne
know he did not start the fight with
out due thought and circumspection."
They are aware that for weeks he
carefully studied out a campaign that
Will extend for months and, too, il is
promised, without fauguing the peo-
pie who will. after all, decide the con-
flict. This campaign has not been
mapped out with the idea that the
other side would have nothing to say.
Every possible move of the other
crowd has been anticipated by the
doughty little leader who burst out
with the announcement that the
''honest country folks" will know the
full truth before the smoke of battle
has lifted. That personal abuse was
anticipated Mr.. Osborne's confidents

permit all such personalities to pass

curing for the Democrats of Georgia
the bitter truth--has been accomplish
I
after the truth has been made public
the personal attacks will be taken
up.
VIII Fall Into No Trap.
Mr.. Osborne feels that these attacks
are of minor consideration at this
| time. He knows that no matter what
| is said. if the issue is present and the
! truth untold his answering personal at
| tacks will not give Georgias Demo-
| Gratis, who have been blind so long,
| that which they need so much to know
/ and that which they have every right
| to know-the true condition of affairs
/ in the state at this time.
When the people of the state learn
the situation as il has been for years
and the scales have been entirely NOV
| ed from their eyes. Mr.. Osborne says
| he will be content, even though he be
encased in mud When he knows that
| the people are thoroughly awake and
can no longer be fooled. unless they
wish it, he will look to his own linen.
| Until that time his friends say he will
not fall into the trap laid by the other
| side" and leave his task to defend him
self.
With such a warfare on, where the
| political life and liberty of men prom
inent in affairs of the state are at
! stake, no wonder that local political
! questions should remain on the shelf

Christmas Tree in Primary school

The children of Miss McCarthy's
primary school enjoyed their Christ
mas tree as did their parents and
friends. The tree. with all Of it's ora
ments. present for fathers and moth
ers, and also for the children, was a
beautiful sight as seen by the light
of candles which were arranged in
all corners of the room, and on every
available shelf. table and blackboard.
The sight was much more pleasing
when the children formed a ring and
danced around the tree, singing
Christmas songs.
The children presented the parents
presents, while singing a very appro-
pirate song, and Immediately after
this Miss Mccarthy handed each child
a gift and a box OF candy. The little
ones went home for their holiday
with merry faces and happy hearts.
The children played Santa Claus, too.
and surprised Miss Mccarthy with
many gifts.

When the twenty-four delegates
from Tennessee to the National

Louis on the day preceding the as
semblIng of the convention they
will have a number of honors to
distribute among the delegation.
There have been some lively con-
tests for these places il. the past
and it is probable that this will be
the case this year. The delegates
from each State will elect one men,
Der of seven committees, to-wit: on
platform and resolutions, permanent
organization, rules and order of
business, credentials, to notify the
Presidential nominee, to notify the
nominee for Vice President, and the

Committeeman, but there will be no
contest for this honor. r. E. l..
Mountcastle, of Knoxville, is the
only candidate, and several of the
Congressional districts have instruct
ed their delegates to vote for him.
The msst desirable and important
of the convention committee places
is that on the platform committee.
Four years ago there was a lively
contest in the Tenne S e delegation
between three delegates for this
place, Congressman John A. Moon,
who cast the deciding vote in the
committee to reaffirm the silver
plank of 1896, being chosen. The
numerous friends of Tennessee's
popular junior Senator, E. w. Car
mack, who was the most command
ing and influential figure on the
floor Of the recent State convention,
are urging him for this place, and
it is certain that he will be selected
should he consent to serve. In ad-
dition to the honors above enumer-
ated the delegation will also select
a Chairman and Secretary.-Nash-
