that it proceed to discharge that duty.
Animated by a conscious, and, we
believe evident, purpose to guarantee,
through the direct control and man

through the few, simple and equitable
safeguards herein imposed, that abso-
Iutely fair, full and impartial ascer-

render the result above question of at

this important matter, without reser-
vation or restriction, to the intelligent
and patriotic decision Of the Demo-
cratic masses of Tennessee, confident
that their verdict at The polls will ac-
cord with the welfare of the party and
the honor of the Commonwealth.
Be it further resolved that the DEM
ocratic State convention to select
nominees for Governor and Railroad
Commissioners of Tennessee is hereby
called to meet at noon, Tuesday, May

Caught at Mckenzie.

Adolphus Holder, who made his
escape from Troy after shooting
John Wells on Sunday night, the
Sd inst. was arrested by the Mar
shall at Mckenzie last Friday.
Young Holder went to Mckenzie
by the way of Rives and Martin.
He was held by the officer until
Sheriff Chiles and Marshal Latham,
the latter from Troy, relieved him
of his prisoner. They went to Nc
Kenzie Saturday and returned Sat-
urday evening with Holder in GUS
tody. The prisoner was taken be-
fore Esquire Sacra and placed un-
der So, 500 bond.
Holder tells a different story in
many respects from those which
have appeared in the papers. He
at first denied his identity, but
afterwards admitted to Marshal
Dinwiddie that he did the shooting.
He stated that be and the young
lady, Miss Cody Wells, had been
engaged for some time and expect
ed to be married, but difference
had arisen since his return from
California. He practically admits
that he talked rough to Miss Wells
telling her to go to h after she
refused to go home with him. The
next morning he says John Wells
cursed him and threatened to shoot
him like a dog. He also alleges
that Wells was drinking at the
time. He went home and states
that he returned that evening with
a revolver in his pocket after care
fully examining and putting it in
order. He said that friend met
him at the tent and told him that
he was in danger. He said that he
didn't believe it and walked on to
the tent. He adds that Jim and
John Wells were there and that
Jim told John to shoot his did
head off. He said that he tried to
to get into the tent, but they cut
him off, that he was scared and ex-
cited and put his hand on his pis-
tol and told them to keep back. He
says that he backed up to the tent
and they kept coming and when IN
six feet of him John Wells pulled a
pistol just as he pulled his and
they both fred about the same
time. Holder fired twice after that
and he thinks the second shot hit
Wells, as Wells dropped his pistol
and his brother picked it up. He
further states that he didn't wait
to see whether Wells was badly
hurt or not, but got away as quick
ly as he could. He states that he
and Wells were good friends and
the latter was the only member of
the family who did not oppose his
engagement. He said he would
not have harmed him if be had not
believed his life was in danger.

RUSSIAN PEOPLE LOSE.
Cause of Liberty Set Back by Peace
of Portsmouth.


London, Sept. 9.-It is becom-
ing evident that the advent OF
peace at the present moment isnot
an unmixed blessing for the for
tunes of Russia in their broadest
aspect. Lovers of peace in their
humanitarian desire to stop the far
Eastern conflict have to some ex-
tent lost sight of that other cause
which must command the sympa-
thies of civilization-the emanci-
patton Of the Russian people.
1t has been obvious to all who
know the internal conditions in
Russia that the war created an OPP
portunity which would probably
have enabled the oppressed mil
lions of that empire to throw off
the tyranny which for many gen.
erations has crippled the national
life. An organization to this end
was necessarily slow, but much
has been accomplished in the past
few months. The reform leaders
had got the bureaucracy nearly
down. They had forced their way
past it and had told the Gar in
plain terms the kind of rotten
misgovernment he was giving his
people. They will not soon be
able to do that again. Peace has
set the bureaucracy on its feet
again. With no foreign war to
shake its nerves and the restoration
Of financial credit to strengthen its
great and only weapon of oppres-
sion, it is not afraid of independ-
ent reformers Just yet.
The return of the army is men
toned as the greatest menace to
the old regime, but, with new sup
plies of money, that repatriation
need not be the dangerous expert
ment it would have been had ply
sical want been added to the sol
diers' contempt for the system
they have served under.
BLOODY STRUGGLE PROBABLE.
A st. Petersburg correspondent
writes that the active reformers
are still in confusion in all their
plans by reason of the unexpected
peace. They are agreed only on
one point-that the Portsmouth
peace has put the clock back in
Russia. 1t must not be inferred
that the cause of liberty has been
lost or abandoned. 1t means that
while liberty might have been won
by constitutional methods if the
war had been allowed to continue
a little longer, it must now in all
probability be fought for, and that
struggle, there is only too good
reasons to fear, must be far blood

SENATORIAL PRIMARY.
State Committee Settles Upon May
IL to Nominate Senator.

IL to Nominate Senator.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee met on Saturday. A
Senatorial primary was ordered
for May 12, with the State con
vention to follow on May 80. The
candidates involved officially an
nounced their cheerful acquies
ence to this arrangement, and all
is we'll. Not a ripple marred the
serenity Of the occasion; nor were
there any present who did not ap-
pear in the best of spirits through
out the proceedings. The state
ment made by Senator Il. w.
Carmack before the committee
and the communication read from
ex-Gov. Robt. l.. Taylor were in a
large sense conformatory to views
previously expressed by the Sena-
torial candidates, and, therefore,
scaused little surprise. M. r. Pat
terson, candidate for Governor
from Shelby County, forwarded a
communication to the committee
urging the setting of day where
on primary could be held for
nominating a Governor. On mo-
tion, this was referred to the COM
mittee for consideration, and moth
ing more was heard from it. A
committee Of five was appointed
by the Chairman to act upon the
question before the committee,
and the result of this sub-commit-
tees conference was the above
given decision. The announce
ment was made of the resignation
Of Gov. John |. Cox from the COM
mitteee and j. Frank White was
appointed to succeed him.
PRIMARY RESOLUTIONS.
The primary resolutions are as
follows:
Be it resolved by the Democratic
Executive Committee Of Tennessee,
duly convened in called session:
i. That on Saturday, the 18th day
81 May, 1905, between the hours desig-
mated FOR regular elections, the polls
shall be open at each Of the usual poll
ing places In all the counties Of Ten
nessee, for the purpose of holding
direct primary election to select the
nominee Of the Democratic party OF
Tennessee for United States Senator,
FOR the term beginning March 4, 1907,
and ending March 4, 1913; it being
provided and ordered that each ballot
shall contain the name Of the choice
of the voter for said Office, and that
the person who shall receive plurali.
ty OF the qualified votes cast In SAID
election hi all OF the counties Of the
state, by virtue Of the fact shall be-
come the nominee Of the Democratic
party Of Tennessee for said office, anc
as such shall be entitled to the unani

bers Of the General Assembly, which

more civilized warfare which has
been waged IN Manchuria.
Against this idea of the Russian
reform leaders that peace was pre-
mature there must be placed the
broad consideration that President
Roosevelt's successful Intervention
has removed the very real danger
that the far Eastern conflict might
lead to n general European war.
1t is a question for casuists, per
haps, whether the safeguarding of
the peace of the world was a serv-
ice to humanity which demanded
the imperiling of the cause of Rus.
sian liberty.
REVOLT IN CAUCASUS.
The sudden peace has distinctly
forced the hands Of the revolution
ary party in the Caucasus. The
awful conflict there this week is
no spontaneous racial war, but
thoroughly organized insurrection
directed against Russian authority.
The plans of the revolutionaries
were thoroughly explained to the
writer in June last by one of the
leaders, who came to London to
arrange for further shipment
of arms. Their first move, he
said, would be to completely de-
stroy the oil industry. When
asked the reason for this wanton
destruction, he said the object was
to paralyze transportation in the
Caucasus and Southern Russia,
where oil was the sole fuel for
railroads and steamers. He ad-
ded that not only do the bulk of
the population favor revolution,
but large section of the govern
ment employees also. The latter
fact enabled them to ship arms to
the custom houses with impunity.
The cold. blooded spirit Of these
revolutionaries is we'll illustrated
by bit Of conversation with this
leader. He urged the writer to
send a special correspondent to re-
port the revolution, saying that
he would guarantee that this man
would have the only information
sent out.
"How will you manage that9"
was asked.
Perfectly simple" was the
matter -of-fact reply. "We intend
to hang or shoot every other cor
respondent in the country"
"What would happen to cur
correspondent in the country if
the revolution should not be sue
cessful 2" was asked.
"Oh, he would get short shrift
from the Russians" said the lead
er, "but we are certain to succeed,
and the danger ii not great"

is to elect said United States Senator.
2. 1t being conceded that the pro-
visions of the statute legalizing pri-
mary State elections do not apply to
the selection of the Federal office of
United States Senator, this commit
tee, therefore, cannot proceed under
the terms of said act; but, 10 absolute
confidence that both the honor and
the loyalty Of the Democratic man
hood Of Tennessee, as represented in
the local party organizations, may be
unreservedly relied upon, independent
Of the statutory directions lacking in
this instance, to fairly and faithfully
ascertain and record the party will,
the State Committee hereby commits
directly to the Democratic Executive
Committee of each county the sole OBJ
legation and responsibility to manage
and conduct said primary election in
its county, and this duty shall fnclude
the assumption Of liability for the
expenses, if any, OF holding it.
OFFICERS OF ELECTION.
Provided, That in the appointment
by County Executive Committees of
the judges, clerks and receivers to
serve within their respective counties,
said officers shall be apportioned
equally between the avowed adherents
of the candidates for United States
Senator, and each candidate shall have
the right to name the persons to be
appointed as his proportion among the
election officials at the polls. Not LESS
than ten days before each County Ex-
ecutive Committee meets to select the
election officers for it's county the
Chairman shall give notice in writing
to the candidates for Senator of the
time and place Of meeting and notify
each to forward the list Of adherents
for appointment as election officials,
as above provided. Each candidate
for Senator shall have the privilege of
naming a representative at each poll
ing place throughout the State, who
shall have the free and unquestioned
right to be present and watch the de-
posting and counting of every ballot
and certitication Of returns, and to
have the right Of challenge of any
proposed voter, whose right to vote
shall be thereupon decided under the
rules hereinafter stated.
The officers of election In every ward
and precinct shall make oath to inn
partially and faithfully perform the
duties involving upon them, and shall
keep poll lists and tally sheets and
certify to the correctness Of the same,
as in the case OF regular elections;and
said poll lists and the tally sheets,
together with the ballots, shall be
carefully preserved by the Chairman
and Secretary Of each County Execu-
tive Committee for a period OF not less
than ninety days.
FOR DEMOCRATS ONLY.
3. This being an election In which
only Democrats will be candidates,
and which commits all the powers and
agencies Of the Democratic party to
the defense Of the verdict at the polls,
involving the bestowal of most high
and responsible office, it is manifest
that only bona fide members Of this
political organization should exercise
the privilege OF participants. 1t is,
therefore, ordered that in said prima-
ry only white persons who are known

W TO ABOLISH
LIMIT AS TO AGE

The policy that was adopted a few
years ago by some Of the largest cor.
porations In the country and which
threatened to drive out Of employment
'housancs OF men who had passed the
middle mark o. life and force them
TO starve and die. Is In a fair way OF
being abandoned, II IL announced
that there Is a general disposition on
the part OF railroad arrangements to
reconsider the policy Of employing
young men only. The Chicago & Al.
ton. n OF the first railroads to adopt
the plan. from which such great re-
suits were expected. has abolished tho
age limit Of ~thirty-ive years for new
'"nloyes sitter trying the plan for
three years. This railroad now an.
nounce that hereafter It will employ
at least 30 per cent OF Its men without
regard to age. considering only ex.
per!ence and adaptability. This action
cn the part Of the Chicago & Alton
las been followed, 1t is said. by the
C'!cagc, Milwaukee & st. Paul. and
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy.
wNi'o the Boston & Maine has been
50 disa tnointed with the trial o. the
'ar" limit plan that It announces its
determination TO hire men Of any age
In n capacity.
" Is evident that the abandonment
Of the policy which barred so many
cspable and worthy men from an op.
r~c"tunity to earn their living shows
that the craze for employing young
r"er only or the railroads was not
productive Of good results. II Is
Quite possible that there may be some
connection between the obstinate
rechlessness Of youth and the cpl
donnie Of railroad accidents in the last
two or three years. but whether this
be the case or not the young man Is
nc longer regarded by railway nan
agements as "the whole thing" The
railroads have discovered apparently
that a serious mistake was made In
clo~lng 'he door Of oppc .tun,.y to 4
mar merely because he happened to
be past the middle of life and his hair
was turning gray.
