COMMERCIAL APPEAL NOTES.

Malcolm Patterson drove few more
nails in the coffin of John I. Cox Mon
day.
The Carmack contingent evidently
think that Cox has outlived his use
fulness.
Boss Brownlow wants to establis ha
home for decayed negroes at Washing
ton, and the Washington Post wants to
offer an amendment and locate it in
Tennessee.
Coke Old Boy is between the devil
and the deep sea, with Patterson shoot
ing him full of holes on one side and
Carmack presenting him with the
double cross on the other.
John /. Cox's talk about the purity
of the ballot reaches high water mark
as bit of humor. He cares about as
much for the purity of the ballot as a
cat cares for Christian Science.
We hung up our sock Christman Eve
and Cy Lyle says he put jug of Char
lotte Roose in it; but the jng must have
slipped through the hole in the toe.

POLITICAL.

The Carroll county democratic com
mittee has been called to meet January
/, to decide upon the election of dele.
gates to the gubernatorial convention.
The democrats OF Grundy county will
meet in mass convention on January IL
to select delegates to the gubernatorial,
compression and senatorial conventions.
The democratic executive committee
of Coffee county has been called to
meet January 1, to decide upon the
election of delegates to the gubernato-
rial convention,
Hon. Reece V. Hicks, chairman OF
the democratic executive committee OF
Monroe county, has issued call for q
convention to meet at Jacksonville,
January /, to choose delegates to the
gubernatorial convention which meets
in May, 1906.
Judge John r. Bond, candidate for
governor, has announced the following
appointments for speaking: Jackson,
Saturday, December 30; Franklin, Jan
nary 1; Bolivar, Wednesday, January
8; Columbia, Friday, January 8, aud
Pulaski, January 8
The call for q mass convention of
democrats of Dickson county, author
lied by the executive committee some
time ago for the first DAY f January,
for some reason has not been issued.
This convention was authorized for the
purpose of instructing delegates to the
gubernatorial convention, which dele
gates have already been selected.
While no official announcement has
been made concerning the after-the-
holidays political plans of ex-Gov. Tay-
lor in bis campaign for United States
senator, his friends do not expect that
he will again take the stump before the
middle of January. The friends OF the
former governor in Williamson county
have been urging him to make his next
speech OF Franklin, and it is thought
likely that he will yield to their So
licitations and make his next appear
ance in that town. The governor will,
it is thought, continue to Fill lecture
engagements until about the time
above indicated.

legislature Cox was always the friend
and champion of the corporation as
against the rights of the people, and
his vote and influence was always cast
and used in behalf of the corporation.
We believe with the record Gov. Cox
has, that he should not be nominated.
We do not believe it would be to the
interest of the democratic party, the
interest of the state or its people. Gov.
Cox has made his own record, he is
liquor man, and will be running on q
temperance platform. He claims to be
the friend of the people, and yet his
work as legislator was in behalf of
corporations and against the people
and the individual taxpayer. His rev.
enue record as a public official is bad
it is shady. The cloud of disapproval
and condemnation is over it. 1t is
branded by the legislative report oil
1899 as course of questionable deal
ing. His elevation to the high Office
of governor was wrong, and by the
most high-handed piece of machine
politics Tennessee has ever known
The people feel that his elevation wal
not deserved, and that he could nevel
. have become governor by the vote o
: the people, and they will resent an in
8 dorsemept. If his record is such tina
democrats are slow to indorse him
: how would be with strong, clean ant
i fearless republican opponent? H
: would be very weak democratic nom
d inee, weak by his own record and posi-
Q ton, and then as a public speaker an

tee on resolutions, Messrs. ]. N. Mac
kenzie, Walter Faulkner, Frank Nc
MILAN, J. r. Hobbs and Howard Nc
Farland.
At this juncture Mr.. N. G.. Robert
son, teller for the Patterson men, came
into the room and announced that the
count on the Patterson side showed the |
presence of ATS voters and that the |
count was still in progress. He denied
the right of the Cox men to organize
the convention without giving notice to
the Patterson men, who were waiting
on the other side of the house and de-
MED that the Cox men had received a
majority of the votes cast. Mr.. San
ders announced in reply that he had
been told that the Patterson men had
only 29S votes and that he was going
to proceed to run the convention with
or without the consent of the Patterson
men who had come into the room.
Mr.. Robertson thereupon requested
the Patterson men present to retire to
the county court room, which they did,
and organized convention of their
own and instructed for Mr.. Patterson,
a long list of delegates being selected.
Red hot speeches were made by Messrs
A. X. Miller, Brice Mace, N. G. Rob
ertson, Ben Drake aud others con-
demning the unfair and undemocratic
action of Chairman McMenaway and
the opposition convention, and re-
quested the members of the executive
committee present to get together and
i with or without the consent OF Chair
i man McMenaway, call the executive
Q committee together and call the prima.
ry election for the purpose of setting
aside the action taken by the two con.
ventions and selecting delegates truly
I. representative of the sentiments of the
people of the county.
While these proceedings were taking
place on the Patterson side of th,
4 house the Cox men adopted resolution
"a condemning Mr.. Patterson and instrct
"a ing for Mr. Cox and selected a list o
" from two to four delegates from eacl
y. of the 25 districts in the county, where
~ upon the convention adjourned.
While the real work of the Cox con
10 vention was in progress there wer
I'd probably two hundred men in the Gil
k cuit court room, but just how man

While the protection afforded by a
complete system of Water Works is
of great advantage in encouraging the
construction of new buildings, never.
theless insurance rates will not be
greatly reduced until the risk due to
the proximity of wooden buildings of
frame structure is entirely done away
with.
With this end in view the Council
should at once take the steps neces.
sary to establish what is known as
fire limits in the main portion of the
town. Next to Water Works this
seems to us the most important step
that can be taken, and now that the
Water Works are to be a blessed re-
ality and before the new building that
is sure to follow is commenced it
does seem to us that something should
be done in this line
The experience of other towns, has
been that nothing did more towards
encouraging the erection of first
class buildings on the main street of
the town, than an ordinance passed
by the council, providing that nothing
but brick, stone, cement, of tile build.
ings could be erected inside certain
fixed limits. Just at the present time
we know OF no one who could possibly
be injured by an ordinance of this
kind, and for this reason would sug.
gest that council take the matter in
hand at once, as the longer it is delay
ed the less benefit it will be to the
town in general.

Now that the people have decided
by an overwhelming majority, that
Water Works are wanted. and wanted
at once, the next thing in order will
be the selection of Board of Public
Affairs, whose duty it will be to take
entire charge of the construction of
the plant, the fixing of the proper
rates, the establishing of the neces.
sary rules, governing the supply of
water, etc. etc,
The selection of this Board is an
ali important matter indeed and
should be given due consideration, by
the Mayor and Council, as upon it will
depend to great extent the success
OF the proposed system.
Men should be named on this board,
on whom not the slightest suspicion
of graft could rest. The village Ger.
tainly contains men of this character,
and we trust that none other will be
selected.
