Taylor After Carmack'S Scalp.

George F. Fry, q staff correspondent
OF the Memphis Scimitar, sent the fol-
lowing dispatch from Nashville on the
day following the caucus:
The campaign of 1906 was opened at
Nashville today while a grim, silent
force began an effort to cement the
sentiment of the people of Tennessee
for Robert L. Taylor to succeed E. W.
Carmack in the Senate of the United
States two years hence.
A wide field is open to those who
would be governor, for the McMillin
people have come to the support of Tay-
lor and the allied forces have already
started their network of lines to work
with the avowed purpose of filling the
Legislature with new set, and OF
naming someone for governor who will
be in arms against the Carmack- Fraz-
ier-Cox alliance.
1t is recorded that when David set
out to put down rebellion started by
Absalom, at the close of the day it was
reported to the victorious father that
the son had fallen among the slain,
and the prophet writes that victory
was turned into defeat and there was
mourning in Israel that day.
With this text the allied forces hope
toturn the victory Of yesterday into
defeat and mourning.
Governor Taylor was the center of a
throng this morning. When I asked
him about the future he said:
"The people of Tennessee have been
throttled by a deep laid conspiracy,
and the people will have chance to
say what they think of it. They took
the old lion. They tied his legs and
his tail and they put gag in his mouth,
and then came along and stole the per-
simmons.
''But the lion is not dead. The PEG.
pie will take the gag fromshi mouth
they will unite his legs and he will
walk abroad.
There came story that assurance
had been made by John I. Cox that he
would not make the race for governor
at the next election. This is said tc
have been understood by Enloe, Wash
ington and other prospective csndi
dates for governor. There is little
chance that such q communication will
get any encouragement from MIR. Cox,
There is sure to be oneof the greatest
contests tie State has ever seen. Yes
terday when the men who spoke in The
caucus for Taylor and for McMilliI
delivered themselves they made ne
harmony talks.
Every line was defiance; every par
agraph was declaration of war. Tht
acclamatory nomination did not taxi
with it the voice of the opposition tt
the State machine and the opposing
elements walked from the caucus will
tomahawks high uplifted and at nigh
the green corn dance was in progress
Five minutes after the end of tn
caucns new war had been opened.
N. G. Robertson, big leader of tn
McMiIlin people, came to Taylor will
the hand that was not busy with tn
tomahawk and pledged fealty and
fight. Hecame directly from the head

Senator Bates Punctuality.

'.Punctuality in letter writing is an i'm
portant matter, and this statement is
just as true of politics and politicians as
it is in business" said a man who be-
lieves in promptly doing what one should
do. Il am impelled to make this OBJ
servation by remembrance of the life
trait Of the late William S. Bate, United
States senator from Tennessee
Senator Bate was noted for the
promptness with which he answered all
letters, and he once told me that he at
tributed much of his political success to
this fact. He regarded it as positively
immoral for man in public life to fail
to answer letter addressed to him by
one of his constituents.
1T was duty the man in public life
owed those whom he served What
would you think of a man. he once
asked friend, who would refuse to an
swer question you put to him face TO
face-a man who would make no reply
whatever? Would it not be an insult?
Would you not resent it? [ would. I
believe any other self-respecting man
would. Failure or refusal to answer
polite, courteous letter is just as bad"

AS the Piutes Understood

'Once upon time," said r. NJ. Luce
of San Francisco, zone OF our statesmen.
while visiting in Nevada, was prevailed
on to make a speech at some local cee-
bratIon: There was a motley gathering
OF Indians in his audience, and these
redskins at intervals, when the orator
paused, would set up a vociferous ex-
clamation that sounded like wee-ow.
when the affair was over and the
Californian was receiving the congratu -
lations OF friends on his speech, he asked
one what those Piutes meant by their
continued howl of 'wee-ow.' That re-
Sponded the friend is an old-time In
dian word which, as near as it can be
translated into English, means hot air .

The C0iGr Of the Sapphire.

1t is said that among the hideous
debris found on the scene Of the assas-
sination of the Grand Duke Sergius was
a stone, perfectly black in color, which
is supposed to be the large sapphire worn
in ring by the grand duke. The black
hue is asserted to be the effect of the
chemicals used in the bomb.
Next to diamonds, sapphires are the
hardest stones known, and to the I'M
aided eye no purer, truer hue exists than
that of the sapphire. Being Of the color
of the sky, it is regarded with awe by
the superstitious, but the most valuable
stones are the color of the corn flower.
A visitor to the workshop of a Cairo
ieweler, some time ago, describes wood
en- bowl two-thirds full Of the finest
sapphires which an old Persian workman
has been busy in detaching from their
settings.
The glory of these cleaning gems in
the rays of brilliant light which found
their way into the interior OF the vaulted
place was indescribable They were not
for sale, but the property of the mother
of the Khedive, the most powerful lady
of the realm She wished to have all
obtainable sapphires set so that they
might be fastened as a trimming upon
her jacket. They were far more eff
fective falling through the Persian's
slender yellow fingers as he swept them
together in the bowl.-Boston Herald

real farmers nowadays drive into town in
double-seated carriages with matched
bays curried so that you could see to

young men and young women Of such
clean-cut, high-bred features as to make
us wonder. And yet l don't know why
we should wonder, either. They all come
from good old stock. The young fellows
run little too strongly to patent leather
shoes and their horses are almost too
skittish for my liking! but the girls are
all right. If their clothes set better than
you thought they would why you must

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan Of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is q severe strain on woman's
vitality. If it is painful Or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.

have testified in grateful letters to Mrs
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
It provides safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous

Cannot Reduce a Rate.

1t is stated in Washington that I'M
der the Townsend rate bill, if a rate
is fixed by the Commission it cannot
be lowered by railroad Should an
emergency arise calling for a decrea sed
rate, the railroads or shippers would
have to appeal again to the Commits
sion, there being no latitude allowed,
whatever the circumstances. Hitherto
a maximum rate has been the rule, but
no such concession is made under the
proposed legislation.
