The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1904-02-18

Col. Josiah Patterson was considered
one of the south's ablest men. His
first entrance into active politics in
Tennessee was in 1899, when he became
candidate for governor of the state
against John P. Buchanan and Others.
As most readers know, Buchanan was
nominated, but Col. Patterson had the
satisfaction of knowing that the bust
ness interests Of the state were largely
for him.
After his defeat for governor Col
Patterson became the democratic nom
inee for congress in the Memphis dis
trict and was elected. He Immediately
took front place among the southerners
in congress, his conspicuous ability
and great eloquence in debate attract
ing national attention. H became the
leader on the floor of the house Of the
administration forces, strongly uphold
ing the policies of President Cleveland.
When the battle for the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing law broke
out in congress, Col. Patterson made
some speeches that have rarely been
equaled in congress. He attacked the
silver forces with such vigor that he
became the target for practically every
speaker on that side of the question in
congress, and the free coinage advo-
Gates from one end of the country to
the other were kept busy answering his
arguments. In fact, he was regarded
everywhere as the strongest and there
fore the most dangerous man opposing
the cause of free coinage. He went
back to his people in 1896 and asked an
Endorsement of his course by re-elec-
ton. He was opposed by the present
Senator E. W. Carmack and the result
was contest in congress over the seat,
Mr.. Carmack finally winning the COW
eted honor.
Col. Patterson returned to his home
in Memphis and resumed the practice
of law, in which he was alwas success
full. Something more than two years
ago he was appointed by President Nc
Kinley a member Of the Shiloah Battle
field Park Commission, which position
he held until his death. His son, Hon.
NJ. r. Patterson, represents the Tenth
district in congress.
Col. Patterson was a gallant Confed-
crate soldier.

In MemOriam.

The angel of death has again visited
our community and another home is
without devoted wife and loving
mother. Mrs. Callie V. McInturff, the
subject of this sketch, was born March
%, 1876, and died February Q, 1904. at
2:3O p. M, being 27 years, 10 months
and II days old. She was married to
George W. McInturff October Is, 1899,
and from this union two children were
born-a son and daughter. The little
boy is A years old and the little girl II
months old. The deceased was daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Carr. Be-
sides the husband and children she
leaves father, mother, 2 brothers and
6 sisters to mourn her loss. Her broth
ers and sisters are as follows: Mrs.
Emma Griffith, of Weanbleau, Mo. I;
Mrs. Flora Cain, of Bristol, and Ar
thur, Willie, Fannie, Daisy, Bessie
and Mrs. Jane Lilley, Of the Eighth.
Callie was an intense sufferer for near
ly year, having severe cold which
settled on her lungs and finally devel-
oped into consumption. She often
prayed to be spared to raise her little
children, and few mothers are as de-
voted as she was, never firing in ad-
ministering to their wants and adding
to their happiness. She was member
of the Antioch Baptist church and al
ways enjoyed religious services. She
always enjoyed shouting but was never
known to shout until the day she died
and she shouted then just as long as
she was able to move her hands. Oh!
it was so hard to give her up, but
knowing she was prepared and having
a blessed assurance that if we live
right that sooner or later we shall meet
our dear ones where there is no more
parting nor pain. We humbly submit
to the will of God. How beautifully
! true is the scriptural comparison of life
to q flower that springs up in the morn
ing and blooms and at evening withers
away. This sad truth has been forci-
bly, impressed upon our minds by the
death of one so young and good. Dear
Callie was submissive to the will of
God 1t seems that on her dying bed
she had desire to obey the will of the
Lord. She loved SO we'll to talk about
Jesus and to read her Testament. Just
before the spirit took its flight she was
heard to murmur ''I'm going home. "
She often talked of her dead brother,
James, or better known as Jack, who
preceded her over four years ago. The
community has lost kind neighbor,
the husband helpful wife, the chill
dren tender devoted mother, and the
brothers and sisters kind and loving
sister May we all initiate her virtues
aud live as she desired us to do and be
prepared to meet her when God says
'Tis enough, come up higher.
The summons come to one and all
And each must answer to the call,
Oh let us here the Savior love,
And be prepared for Heaven above.

was done for political purposes pure
and simple. OF course il has the effect
of reducing the number of magistrates
in the county courts, and what is bet
ter, making them democratic, but the
counties are still governed in the same
old way and will be until the constltu-
ton il changed and the entire system
abolished. As a matter of history, THE
COMET tried to get Washington county
redistricted during the last legislature.
In connection with several other dem
ocrats we arranged the districts to suit
the best interests of the democratic
party. We know that we would have
made the county court democratic and
we believe we would have made the
county democratic The moment the
county is redistrioted the Dortch law
will spread its protecting wing over it
and we believe that what this benef-
cent law has done for Knox, Greene
and Hawkins it will do for old Wash
ington. For this reason we we're in
favor of redistricting the county, and
for the same reason some very distin.
guished republicans, one particularly,
opposed the measure.
