Turkey to PAY France 81, 900, GOO.

at Paris. from Constantinople. says the
French ambassador, NJ. Constans. has re-
ceived an imperial trade making a complete
and definite settlement of the French
claims. 1t gives an indemnity of S7,oo0,O00
for the controversy over the Damascus
Nazrb railroad. and insures continuous
French control of the road. and also ac-
cords as damages $}20.0o0 to the French
company operating the quays of Constan-
tnople. The principal feature of the trade
is an agreement to use third of loan
of $1,000 600 for ordering warships and ar
tillery from French firms. The latter fea-
ture gives much satisfaction here as 1t was
sharply opposed by Turkey with the con-
currence of the German ambassador

A Clergyman Injured.

A cablegram from Edinburgh says: A
man, half dazed with head and face scanned
with gaping cuts and his body and limbs
covered with bruises and wounds crawied
up to the entrance of the hotel at Fort
William yesterday. 1t was Rev Mr.. Rob-
ertson of Edinburgh "a prominent member
of the Scottish Mountaineering Club. who
had left the f.otel earlier in the day to climb
Ben Nevis.
The day was unsuitable for climbing.
Snow was falling and there were frequent
thunder and lightning. Robertson, never
theiess, determined to climb the mountain.
and In safety reached the summit. On re-
turning the lightning struck the metal OF
hts ak, and he fell down the mountain Loo

"The Lancet" in a Fog.

FROM the Lancet
During the time when the recent fog was
densest on the ground a curious phenom-
enon was witnessed in. the Lancet offices
and laboratory. The flames of the Bunsen
burners attached to gas stoves. as well as
of those used for laboratory purposes,
which are normally of blush tinge, be-
came a bright yellow color, which on ex-
animation with a spectroscope proved to
be due to sodium. The characteristic
bright yellow color Of the flame was well
marked, and the usual soda line in the
spectroscope was very brilliant. On ex-
amining the air no definite evidence either
of sulphate or of chlorides could be OBJ
tanned.
The interesting questions are, What was
the origin of the sodium and in what form
did 1t exist? 1t Is easy to imagine sea air
showing the presence of sodium chloride,
but it is difficult to understand how under
the conditions prevailing during the fog tine
air could contain particles of sea water. 1t
Is true the fog was very general and pos
sibly some of it had Its origin In the sea,
but then no chiorides could be found in tile
air. Again, it may be conjectured that
smoke might contain sodium salts derived
from the combustion of coal. but we find
that sodium salts are seldom found in coal.
1t was not due to our own laboratory oper-
atoms, for the intense yellow celebration Of
the flame was evident in all parts Of the
offices and the celebration was just as in
tense on the lower floors as on the top
floor, where the laboratory Is situated

WHY GAME IS GROWING SCARCE.
The Inequality of Game Laws Over the
Country.
From Outing.

FROM outing
One of the greatest difficulties in the
path of the wise and earnest protector of
game is the migration of such families as
the waterfowl, woodcock, snpe, plover,
etc. We are prone to the framing of such
laws appear good for our own grounds,
while forgetting that the extensive move
ment of the birds compel them to run the
gauntlet of two open seasons in one year.
When the law of the north declares the
open season to be at an end. the law of
the south allows the shooting OF returning
feathered travellers.
This. of course, means that the fowl get
no respite except during the actual breed
ing season, a state of affairs which few
species will for long be able to stand
Were there no shooting in the north the
south would have plenty of birds for
many years to come, and vice versa, but,
unfortunately, 1t Is impossible to do away
with the dual season. If sportsmen of
north or south would feel called upon to
lay down their arms the difficulty would
at once be overcome. but / gravely sus-
pect that it would require not few orni-
biological Bull Runs and Gettysburgs to
convince either party of the wisdom of
such course. Northerners and southern
ers rightly having equal claims upon sport
and game there can be no such thing as
legislation favorable to one over the other
The sole feasible remedy appears to be a
1udicious curtailing of gun privileges at
both ends of the migration flight, till the
present destruction has been reduced to a
point which will permit the fowl to hold
their own. Should this finally demand an
open season of only one weeks duration,
even that, to my notion, would be much
better than the entire loss of the game in
question.

IN THE "GooD OLD TIMES"
When Many Modern Necessities Were
Unknown.

From Success.
Not until February of 1912 did the people
of Kentucky know that Madison was elect
ed President in the previous November.
In 1884 one of the leading railroads of the
United States printed on its time table:
1.-The locomotive will leave the depot every
day at 10 o'clock II the weather is fair"
The first typewriter was received by the
public with suspicion. It seemed subversive
of existing conditions. A reporter who took
one into a court room first proved its real
worth
In England some centuries ago. If an Or
binary workman, without permission,
| moved from one parish to another in
search of work or better wages, he was
branded with a hot iron.
When Benjamin Franklin first thought of
starting a newspaper in Philadelphia, many
of his friends advised against 1t because
there was paper published in Boston.
Some of them doubted that the country
| would be able to support two newspapers.
One hundred years ago the fastest land
travel in the world was on the Great North
road, in England, after it had been put
into its best condition. There the York
mail coach tore along at the rate of ninety
miles day, and many persons confidently
predicted divine vengeance on such I'M
seemly haste.
President Of the United States, on Febru-
airy II, 1901, after one of the most exciting
political campaigns in our history, the graf
flying news did not reach the successful
candidate for as many days as it now
takes hours to transmit the result of a
presidential election to the whole civilized
world.
When, In 1909. Richard Trevithick ut
tered the following words there were
many who considered him an insane. dam
gerous person: THE present generation
will use canals, the next will prefer rail-
roads with horses but their more enlight-
ened successors will employ steam car
| riages on railways as the perfection of the
art of conveyance"
When Benjamin Franklin first took the
coach from Philadelphia to New York he
spent four days on the journey. He tells
US that, as the old driver logged along, he
spent his time knitting stockings Two
| stage coaches and eight horses sufficed for
| tween Boston and New York, and in win
ter the journey occupied a week.
Napoleon, at the height of his power
could not command our everyday conven-
| fences, such as steam heat, running water,
bath and sanitary plumbing gas electric
light, railroads, steamboats, the tele-
graph. the telephone, the photograph dali
ly newspapers, magazines and a thousand
other blessings which are now part of the
daily necessities of even manual laborers.
When the first two tons Of anthracite
coal were brought into Philadelphia in
| 1903, the good people of that city, SO the
records state, tried to burn the stuff; but
| at length disgusted they broke it I'D and
made a walk of it," Fourteen years later
Colonel George Shoemaker sold eight or

warrants were soon issued for his arrest
for taking money under false pretenses"

In vain did two distinguished OK.
Governors of Tennessee plead for
delay in order that their own claims
to the succession might have con
sideration.
In vain were the resolutions and
protests of the people. The voice of
the Senator's and Representatives who
called attention to the emblems of
mourning which hung on the walls,
fell on ears that were deaf save to the
call of ambition. The political con-
spirNtors had agreed to write dark
chapter in the glorious history of
Tennessee.
While living the cryof "Old Shiloh"
sounded against the mighty mountain
sides and echoed and re-echoed among
all the hills and valleys of the Volun-
teer State. Dead, sold Shiloh" was
forgotten and the game Of politics was
played over his bier as untinking boys
might shoot their marbles over a
newly-made grave. 1t was an ill egg
that Matched a new Senator and new
Governor for Tennessee.
Growing by what it has fed upon,
the machine now proposes to nominate
Governor Cox against the will of the
people. He is using all the power Of
his Office and his friends are resorting
to all the desperate methods Of desper
ate politics.
Primaries and mass.meetings art
held without 80 much as a chance
given to be heard.
The penitentiary ring is now busy
in the interests of its chief. Men whit

PEOPLE OR THE MACHINE?
My fellow citizens, there is princi-
pie involved in this contest. 1t is
vital.
Beside it the ambitions of candidates
pale into insignifcance. Tt is whether
the people of Tennessee shall govern
themselves or be governed by domi-
mating and merciless machine.
In Congress, have opposed unlaw-
full combinations of wealth, and the
concentrated power of great industrial
trusts, which have preyed upon the
people. AS candidate for Governor,
/ denounce the political trust in
Tennessee.
l do not believe that the people were
born with saddles on their backs" to
be ridden and spurred by men in
authority.
How did Mr.. Cox become the Cover
nor of Tennessee? BY the will of the
people or against their will?
The hand of death has fallen swiftly
on Confederate soldiers. Day by day,
the line of the old guard in gray grows
thinner and thinner, as the bugler
from the shadows across the river,
sounds the summons of an unrelenting
fate, and calls upon some wearied soul
to lay down its burdens and rest.
Lee and the two Johnstons have fall
len. So have Hill and Longstreet,
Bragg and Beauregard, Hood and
Gordon, Stuart and Forrest, Jeffer-
son Davis and every member of his
Cabinet.

ington and went to join his eompan-

FRANKLIN FOR PATTERSON.
Anti.COx and Anti-HartfOrd Men Capture
the Convention.


the Convention.
WINCHESTER, Tenn, Nov. c.
The largest mass-convention in fifteen
years was held in Franklin County to-
day and when the smoke of battle
cleared away the Patterson men walked
off with comfortable majority Of 81.
While there was great deal of enthus-
iasm and noise and plenty Of heated
arguments, still no untoward circum-
stances happened. The crowd began
early to assemble in town, and early
morning trains brought over enough
people to make it look like circus day
in Winchester.
At11 10 o'clock T. A. Embrey, Chair
man of the County Executive Commit
tee, called the meeting to order in the
court house. At this time it was
readily apparent that the seating capac-
ity of the court house was totally mad
| equate, and by agreement the court
house yard was selected for a meeting
place, and the crowd filed down slowly
to the appointed place.
For the Cox men Wiley Sublett, of
Estill Springs, was placed in nomina-
tion for Chairman, and the Patterson
people placed Judge Frank Lynch in
nomination as their choice.
Here again it was seen that there
would be great difficulty in securing q
fair and accurate count, so it was
agreed that the Cox men should go up
stairs into the courthouse and be
counted as they went up. The follow
ing tellers we're selected: Cox rep
resentatives, Theodore Crabtree and
Charles Corn; Patterson representa-
tives, Arthur Crownover and William
| Robinson.
The Cox men then began to file into
court house cheering Justify, while the
Patterson men remained in the court
house yard in solid phalanx, giving
vent every once in q while to their
enthusiasm. It was rather slow work,
but finally the count for Cox showed
1858 votes. After the Cox people had
deserted the court house the Patterson
forces fled in, confident in strength
and that their confidence was not mis-
placed the final count showed, it being
451 for Patterson.
AS soon as the result was known j
was as though pandemonium was le
loose aud continued cheering shoot

: seated Judge Lynch as Chairman. an'
Harvey Templeton, George W. Harri
