Hon. CIuade A. Swanson a Hap
py Man

We take it that the happiest man In
the United States, irrespective of men
who hold higher positions and ire
spective of men who have countless
gold, is Claude Swanson, Just elected
Governor Of Virginia, says Fairbrother's
Everything.
Claude Swanson was young man
who cut his own way through the
obstacles which confronted him. He
he'd friends, but he made them be-
cause OF his sterling qualities, and
when he went into politics the road
looked dreaiy and many who believed
In him predicted a lonely journey for
him. The Congressional district
where he made his first fight was Re-
publican, but he won out-developed
into magnetic and forceful speaker
and rallied the people to his way OF
thinking.
Then he wanted to be Governor.
The first time he failed, but still held
his seat in Congress, kept in touch
with the boys" and the people. and
last Tuesday he was elected Governor
OF Virginia, and he feels that to be
Governor OF his native State Is the
highest honor that could come his
way.
When the time comes he will
unquestiOnably make the fight for
Senator, and In this he will be more
successful than our lamented friend.
Jack Montague. Swanson is to be
congratulated, and therefore we hasten
to send along the best we have In the
shop. He has been a success in poll
tIcs-and he has been clean-handed and
loyal.

A Negro AristOcrat

Elsewhere in to-daY's paper will
be an interesting, if not edifying,
account of the death, at Asbury
Park, of William L. Evans, former
body-servant of General Robert K.
Lee, says the Richmond. Tines
DispS tch in recent issue. The
publication is taken from til Eve
ming Press Of that place, and the
reporter tells us that this old negro
gentlemen was too revered and
aristocratic to mingle with the
northern "colored trash" as he
called the new Issue negroes Of
that section; and 60 lived much
unto himself. This may have been
written in jest, but ut is graphic
pen picture of that type of the
southern slave, sO-called, ard a
splendid tribute to his character.
His was the aristocracy which
comes of good breeding and re-
fined association, and of necessity it
made him peculiar about the COM
panY he kept. He never forgot his
raising He was connected with "the
Lees of Virginia, )" and he realized
the honor and responsibility of the
tie. This observation of the New
Jersey reporter does not surprise
us, although it is revelation that
Evans witnessed the hanging of
John Brown and four other
negroes.

A CANNING FACTORY.

A Fruit Growers Association
and canning factory constitute
two industries that, from present
indications, Camden is destined to
have in the near future. In fact,
we see no reason why the matter
couldnotbe arranged to have every
thing in full operation by the open
ing of the fruit and vegetable sea-
son. Several of our citizens are
willing to subscribe literally.
Agood portion of the stock could
be placed among the farmers, who
could pay for it in fruits and vege-
tables. This plan has been tried
at many towns where similar in
dustries now flourish, and it has
always proven satisfactory.
Such enterprises are bound to
come in response to the demands
of Benton County's diversified and
unrivaled fruitandvegetable-g
ing possibilities. It has been de-
monstrated that during the years
gone by enough fruits and vege-
tables have gone to waste annual
ly in Benton County to have
met the entire cost of first-class
-cannery here, to say nothing of the
vast amount of money that is spent
for imported products.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1905-03-31
UNcALLED FOR CHANGE.

The good old county Of Benton
has once more been tossed from
her position among her sister
counties in the judicial circuit
the thirteenth, presided over by
Judge John r. Bond-and after
being carefully and thoughtfully
considered and in statesmanlike
CD manner, she was safely lodged
with and made part of the four
teenth judicial circuit.
The fallacy of this arrangement
can, better be seen when we take
into consideration the fact that the
counties of Carroll and Weakley
intervene, and that our county is
in touch with no part of the cir
cult to which it has been attached.
The distance from Camden to
Dresden, the nearest county site,
is about fifty miles. Why detach
Benton from the thirteenth and
attach it to the fourteenth?
We see no reason for it. Ger
tainly there is not not even the
merit of economy, system nor JUS
tice. Judge Bond was not asking
for relief. He was not overwork-
ed, and more, told the promoters
of the sheme that he could easily
attend to the duties and was per-
fectly willing to do SO.
From this it can be seen that it
was not for relief that this change
was made. If relief had been the
object, then why not have taken
one of the counties on the western
side of the division? Most assur1
edly reason would say that is what
should have been done.
But if Benton had to go, why
not attach her to an adjoining cir
cult? It was not for relief, nor
economy, and there were other cir
cults to which it could have been
attached, then why this unjustifa-
Die change? There would have
been just as much common sense
inattaching Benton County tomost
any other circuit in the State.
