A New Work Under the Title
Of Messages and Papers.
Compiled Prom Careful Research by
Hon. J. D. Richardson.

The Messages and Papers of the
Southern Confederacy are given to
the public without any sectional or
political bias The work is conf
piled by Hon. Jas. d. Richardson,
late representative of the Fifth dis.
trict OF Tennessee, who was per-
mitted to do SO by an act of Con
gress which was passed and APP
proved April II, 1900.
Mr. Richardson, after thoroughly
examining the records of the Gov
eminent archives at Washington,
where these official letters were
kept, not being satisfied with the
exhaustiveness of his research, also
examined many private sources, in
Guiding the files of the Richmond
and Montgom cry newspapers,
thereby enabling him to give to the
public every official paper of the
President.
The Southern people have been
greatly embarrassed by nisappre-
hension of their principles and
causes. They have made fight on
histories which have been printed
for over forty years. This work
giving the absolute and authentic
record, is unbiased and from it the
reader can draw his own conclu-
sions. The Southern side of the
story is intensely interesting, and
when compared with the Northern
side, as given in Lincoln's official
utterances during this period, it
will clear up all doubtful points in
the history of this great struggle.
The work is published in two
volumes. The first volume con-
tains the official papers OF the Pres
ident, the second comprising the
diplomatic correspondence.
Volume two, which contains the
official diplomatic correspondence,
is exceedingly interesting, and is
for the first time given to the pub
lie, and when Invested of the sad
memories OF that dark and gloomy
peri>d, this correspondence reads
almost like a romance.
The work is authentic, as we'll as
an inspiration in beauty OF express
sion, and is undoubtedly the great
est historical work ever printed,
and is meeting with most favorable
approval throughout the country.
Mr., South c. Cave, representative
of the Washington Post, is in the
city and we most cordially extend
to him our best wishes and success
while in our midst

The Commercial has not undertake
en- to show the relative standing Of
the gubernatorial candidates in
Obion County. We don'tremem-
Der also of having made any state
ment as to the relative strength of
Taylor and Carmack in the coun-
ty, dut our conscientious scrupIes
in the matter do not prohibit us
from saying who, in our opinion,
is the leading candidate for the
United States Senate. We believe
Bob Taylor's chances to carry the
county are very hattering indeed.
His chances of carrying the State
are unprecedented. We have
never vet since the campaign
opened met a collection of people
or body of men in which the
Taylor sentiment did not prevail.
AS to the county election we will
have to ask the esteemed CORES
pondent to pardon us if we do not
mention the names of the candi-
dates contained in his letter. We
have held to the rule, and we be-
lieve it a good one, that when a
newspaper accepts money from
candidate to announce and intro
duce his claims to its readers the
paper is morally bound to that
candidate in so far as not to exert
the influence of its columnsagainst
him with the slightest hint or sug-
gestion. In the first place, if a
candidate is unfit to run for office
his announcement should not be
accepted. The publisher may
with all propriety have his per
sonal preferences, but he should
not use his paper to the detriment
of any particular candidate he has
announced.

are the most liberal advertisers in
all the towns Of Tennessee of cor
responding size, and in conse-
quence of this they have made
Union City in the same manner
and extent the best shopping cen
ter. Brother Barleycorn turns
around and tells them that their
advertising is a nuisance and that
they ought to be prosecuted for
damages for doing it. Father
Barleycorn is very vel,headed
about some things, but his sense
of the freedom of the press is I'M
mensely unbridled.

CINDERELLA
Captured the Audience at the Opera
House


Those who attended the initial
performance of Cinderella by the
julie Foreman Comedy Company at
the opera house last night, went
with the expectation of seeing a
high-class show as the most fiat
tering press notices had been pub
lished, and all were more than
pleased with the performance Civ
en-.
Manager Alley deserves great
credit for the company he has
gathered together and for the gor-
geous costumes and beautiful stage
setting and mechanical effects, it
has been a long time since a better
balanced or more pleasing company
held the boards in this city. and
the audience last night though
small, was thoroughly appreciatiye
as evidenced by hearty applause
and repeated encores. This is the
first season on the road for this
company and the costumes and
scenery are all new and clean which
add greatly to the finished produc-
ton
1t is hard matter 70 single out
anyone of the performers as the
best, for they we're all good. Miss
Foreman, as Cinderella, was all
that could be asked and every time
she appeared on the stage she was
accorded an ovation. She is a
young, pretty, a clever actress and
possesses a voice of rare beauty
and power. While all her numbers
were exceedingly good, the audi
ence almost went wild over "Black
Sheep which Miss Foreman sang,
dressed rs swell young man and
assisted by a sextette of young
ladies.
While all credit is due Miss Fore
man, she was ably seconded by the
work of Miss Forrest, as Clorinda,
Miss Parker as Thisba, and Miss
Merideth as the Fairy Godmother.
The male members of the company, |
Francis Carrier as the Prince, Bob |
by Nolan as Dandino, Joe Combs
al Alidora, Fred Godding as Pedro,
ond John Morris as II e baron were
as good an aggregation as it is
is possible to select John Morris
in his Nobody song, and Fred
Godding with "Tammany' made
decided hits and we're encored un-
til they had to stop from exhaus-
ton
Besides the principals there was
an excellent chorus which had MANY
and beautiful costumes and which
charmed all by their splendid work.
Taken all in all the production is
oue of the best which has visited
in long, long time
The company will give matinee

CLEVELAND TO GULF.
IMPROVED WATERWAY THAT
WILL TOUCH MAssILLoN
State Board Of Public Works Ap-
proves Work Done and Asks
for Another Appreciation.

Columbus, o., Dec. 24.-The state
board of public works declares in Its
annual report filed here that the car
nails will soon be rehabilitated II the
policy of partial appropriations for
their betterment Is continued. Under
this policy s73,052 of the 5000, 900 ap-
preparation for the deepening and wild
ening of the northern division Of the
Ohio canal had been spent by Nov. 1G
between Cleveland and Akron. Had II
not been for litigation over the con-
tracts, causing much delay OF -four
months, the stretch OF waterway be-
tween these two cities would have
been finished.
The Improvement when completed
by the Joint efforts of the United
States and state governments, will
provide an open waterway from Lake
Erie to the Gulf of Mexico by cana
from Cleveland, by way of Massillon
10 Dresden and hence by the Muskin'
gum, Ohio and Mississippi rivers. A
further appropriation of s250,000 fol
continuing this work is asked. The
duOuut tAVclueu lOF tHo yedi W hoc
emergencies amounted to $3S,863.
The board recommended the build'
ing of concrete locks from New Bre'
men to Defiance on the Miami ant
Erie canal, and ON appropriation oi
$256,550 for the permanent improve
ment OF this canal between Cincinnati
and Dayton. 1t also asks that the bal
ances and earnings and $4,000 be ap
propriated for maintenance and re
pair.
The board states that the physical
condition of the southern division o.
the Ohio canal is bad, but despite thai
recommends its retention and an ap'
preparation Of the balances and earn
ings and S25,000 for its mainten
ance.
The secretary's report shows tha
the revenue received from all sources
including appropriation, aggregated
for the year s4O7.677. Total expendi
lures were $447,604, leaving a defici
of $3S,S6S.
The reported collections of tolls a
all Offices amounted to s6.S51; watel
leases s27,21697; pipe permits $SS,

W|FE'S OESERT|ON
MAY HAVE HELPED TO DEFEAT
FITZ
Bob Knew of Her Act Two Days Be-
fore the Fight and Wanted to
Cancel the Agreement.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 24.-Fight
fans learned today for the first time
that Bob Fitzsimmons was aware of
his wife's desertion before he went
into the ring at Mechanics pavilion
with Jack O'Brien on Wednesday
night and that he was with difficulty
persuaded by Leon Friedman, nRs'
manager, to keep the engagement.
After he had started training at
Crolls his wife ceased to correspond
and Bob wired, asking what had hap
pened. He got no answer. He wired
again with the same result.
Two days before the battle with
O'IGien he received package
through the mails addressed in Julia's
hand. When he opened it he found
photographs of his children, which he
had given to his young wife.
At first Fitzsimmons was bent up
OF throwing up his agreement with
O'Brien and hurrying back TO New
York But as the calmer counsel OF
his manager prevailed, he decided to
go into the ring and fight as best be
could.

MUCH MONEY SENT

PosToFFicE A BUSY PLACE
81 Several Hundreds of Dollars Mailed
a Out Of Canton by Foreigners
In Past Two Weeks.

For more than two weeks the
clerks in the money order department
at the Canton postoflice have been
/, busy sending TO foreign countries
Christmas money from the foreigners
living in this city. :
For many years the bulk of the
money sent to the old country has
been sent by foreign bankers" A
few of the latter are honest but
many of them have not been and the
poor foreigners who entrusted their
earnings to their tender mercies dis
covered that the money crossed the
pond but remained In the pockets OF
tho bankers" They are gradually
learning that Uncle Sam makes
prompt deliveries Of money at reason
able rates.
Several hundreds Of dollars have
been sent to foreign lands from Can
ton in the past two weeks. But
much Of this, postofice employees say
will not reach Its destination in
time for Christmas, which will cause
n lot of disappointment.

SANDLES WOULD
Be SENATE CLERK
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY AND
a,THEN WARNS CHAIRMAN
CARRIER
w. c. Wallace Said to Re in Line for
Appointment as Surveyor Of
Port at Columbus.

Columbus, o., Dec. 24.-Alfred z.
Sandles of Putnam, arrived in Colum-
bus yesterday and made announcement
To State Chairman CARRIER and to oth-
ers, that he is a candidate for chief
clerk of the senate. The announcement
was unwelcomc, both to Col. VIM. A.
Taylor, the Columbus candidate for
this position and to Bert Barlow, the
Butler county entry. his is the sec
ond time Sandles has jumped into
contest at the eleventh hour. the first
time was a year ago, when he walked
away with the nomination for secre-
tary Of state.
The new candidate lost no time after
dropping oq the train yesterday, but
went at once to Democratic state head
quarters and told Chairman CARRIER he
wanted square deal" What he
meant by that may be guessed from
the report that Chairman CARRIER fav-
or3 Barlow.
The new candidate is a member Of
the state board of agriculture. He be-
longs to the Johnson-Bryan wing Of
the party. He has the advantage of
residence in the western tier of coun-
ties whence come most OF the Demo-
cratic senators, except the Cleveland
and Cincinnati delegations. He manag-
ed the campaign in the Thirty-third
senatorial district which elected Boeh-
mer and Beatty.
Congressman Taylor is expected
home today and as Senator Dick has
said the man whom he will recon-
mend for appointment to succeed Sur
veyor Miller must be satisfactory to
Taylor, the first congressional Christ
mas in the Taylor homestead is likely
to be interrupted by the ringing OF
telephone and door bells.
Because of the close friendship be-
tween the congressman and EXPIRES
ident w. C. Kennedy of the Buckeye
club, his name has leaped into promi-
nence in the current gossip. General
John C. Speaks Is thought by many
to be in the brightest rays Of the lime
light.
However, it was ascertained yester-
day that Senator Dick is inclined to
consider William c. Wallace as the
strongest man for the place. All this
is on the supposition that Dick is TO
make the final selection.
Washington chronicles of political
changes have recorded that the two
Ohio senators led on, perhaps, by the
presence of the season of peace oD
earth, and prodded behind by big Bin
Taft" as Roosevelt calls him, have
decided 10 divide patronage amic-
ably.
This would mean Foraker's conces-
sion Of this appointment to Dick as IL
is Dicks turn.
At invitation of Judge Tod d.
Gallo secretary to Governor Her
rick, Senator Lewis b. Houck, pros
pective secretary to Governor Patti
son, visited the governors office yes
terday. In Houck's case there is no
need of learning the ropes" as his
two years at the capitol as legis-
lator served to make the routine work
of the executive Office as familiar tn
him as that Of the senate.
