A Tennesseean Talks Of Folk.

From the Marshall, No.. DemOcrat-News.
We had the pleasure OF meeting
Colonel John Hugh Mcdowell, an old
Confederate soldier, who is stopping
atthe Hurst hotel in our city, buying
corn for shipment South Colonel
Mcdowell was born and reared In
Tennessee, served four years In the
Confederate army, and surrendered
under General Bedford Forrest at the
close OF the war. Colonel Mcdowell
is a thorough Southern man. He
loves the Sunny South, with her An.
glo-Saxon traditions and her Jeffer-
sonian landmark government princi.
Piles. Finding that he was reared
near the Folk family, We asked him
how they stood in Tennessee and
whether they are regarded as good
Democrats. His reply We give below;
I 81 was raised near the Folk family,
they living in an adjoining county,
at Brownsville, Tenn, There is no
family in Tennessee who stands high.
er as Democrats, One OF your can
didate for governors brothers, the
Hon. Reau Folk, is our present state
treasurer, and will be reelected in
November without even an opponent.
Another brother is president OF 8as-
cobel college, Nashville, Tenn, and
another, the Rev. E. +. Folk, is ed.
tor OF the Baptist and Reflector, the
organ Of Tennessee Baptists. The
father and all the sons are men OF
the highest integrity and the very
soul OF honor, and not one of them
would swerve an inch from the faith
ful and conscientious discharge OF a
public trust or official duty to aid a
friend or punish an enemy.
1.-THE family sprang from pure An.
glo-Saxon, oldtime Southern PEG
pie. The mother came from an old
Virginia family, and the father from,
a North Carolina ancestor.
"Hon. Joe Folk was raised right.
He left Tennessee honored and re.
spected by our people. II he is a bad
man, or not true Democrat, he has
departed from his training and fam
lily traditions since he came to Mis-.
souri,; but the Democrats Of Tennes-
see do not believe he is anything but
a true Jeffersonlan Democrat.
We Democrats OF Tennessee, and
OF the nation, are watching with a
great deal of interest the fight Hon.
Joe Folk is making for purity in Off
cial life II he goes down in defeat
on account OF the prosecution OF
Democratic as well as Republican
boodlers, our party will be placed on
the defensive in every congressional
district In the United States. At
least that's the way we Democrats OF
Tennessee feel about it and we have
heard the same opinion expressed by
Democrats OF other states"

BID NOT HIGH ENOUGH.
Sun Building Brings Less at Auction
Than Order of Court Required.

4AdA SAASA VI SON@S 1872
The Sun building, 1915-1317 street, was
offered at public auction yesterday by c. T..
Sloane & Co., auctioneers The property
was withdrawn, as no offer was maoe
either equal to or above the price set by the
Equity Court, which was $2O5OO 1t Will
therefore be held by the Abel estate OF
Baltimore, as heretofore. This property
was bought in, last April. by Mr.. w. w.
Abel, at $195 600, but as there was an out
side family connection interested in 1t who
objected to the price at the previous sale
the court ordered a new sale. The tight.
ness OF the money market apparently uo
not warrant the price set by the court. ana,
as stated. the property was Withdrawn. !t
Is understood that Mr.. o. G. Staples OF this
city was prepared to bid up to $4,000 FOR
the property.
Among those at the sale were Mr.. Edwin
F. Abel and Mr. w. W. Abel of Baiti-
more, but it was not necessary for them 20
bid in order to have the property remain
in the family
Following the Sun building auction the
lot at the northeast corner of 18th and II
streets was also offered and was again bid
in by Mr.. w. w. Abel at $1.30 per square
foot At the previous sale, In April. the
price was $3.50.
1t is thought there will be a private ad-
justment among the interested parties, or
the property may be again put up at auo-
ton in order to satisfy the party Directing
to the present sale.
