fourteen feet deep drawing Miss THORN
in VITA her, They both began strang-
ling and Miss Selma johnson who was

fore he got there.

The dispensary system of South Car
olina established by Senator Tillman
is said to in great danger of overthrow
at the hands of the people, who have
become aroused by the corruption
which it has engendered. Several
counties have adopted local prohib:s
tion policy, and there is probability
thatmany more will follow suit. Till
man has prepared to make most Wig
orous campaign to save the restitution,
which he created.

Sensational Primary.

The American has never taken any
stock in the theory that United States
Senators should be elected by popular
vote, although the democratic party is
committed to that policy through the
declarations of two National platforms
and many State platforms, and these
platforms have been Endorsed by prac.
ticially every Democratic speaker who
has appeared on the stump. Where Is
the Democratic speaeer in Tennessee
who has not indorsed this along with
the other platform declarations More
than once during the past few years
The American has given it's reasons for
opposing the election of Senators by
popular vote, which can only be done
by amending the Constitution OF the
United Skates. Tie nominatiot of Sen
ators by primary, towever. is not open
to these objections, and where the peo'
pie favor it their wishes should be
needed. Certainly it does not lie III the
mouths of those who have given theil
Endorsement to the National Demo
cratic Platforms to oppose primary
which is the nearest approach to iht
party's declarations in favor of the ele'
ton OF Senators by direct vote. There
should have been Democratic prim
airy in Tennessee last year, as The A
merican urged. The people ire deter
mined to settle the coming or presen
Senatorial contest by q primary. With
out regard to candidates it is muci bet
tor the party that this be done, Mash
Vile American.

Great Fortunes.

II John D. Rockerfell expects that
his magnificent gift Of $40, 900, 900 to a
general educational fund will purchse
for him the favor of the people, it is al
together likely that he will be griev-
ously disappointed. If, on the other
hand, he has given this sum, knowing
that as the possessor ofs5OO, 900, 900 or
more, and as the head of the Standard
Oil Co., he eau never expect to enjoy
any degree of popularity, aud must ne
Ccssarily live in the solitude ofimmense
wealth, without the goodwill ::of his
kind, then his gift is truly one of the
most remarkable examples Of unselfsh
philanthropy the world has ever seen.
We do not believe that this gift of
$40, 100000 will serve in the to modify
the popular Judgment of Mr.. Rookie
feller's character and Mr.. Rockefeller's
wealth. A gift Of two or three hundred
millions might possibly have done, but
it will be said of this gift of $40, 900, 900
that it represents scarcely one-half of
one years income and that his total
known benefactions, announcing to $685.
100000, are only little more than Z
per. cent. of his total wealth consev-
atively estimated. Inevitably it will be
said that Mr.. Rockefeller has, after all,
restored to the people only small per-
centage of the immense wevlth which
he has accumulated by methods which
inspire hatred and fear.
We do not say that this feeling is
justly earned. 1t is sufficient to say that
it exists and that it will continue to OK
list to the eud of Mr.. Roekefeller's life
and even beyond.
THERE'S no general hatred Of wealth
in this country, The majority of our
people are small capitalists. The mum.
Der of those who hsue saved up some.
thing against old age and sickness OF
for their children is legion. There is
even no widespread objection to large
fortunes. But there is certainly {
growing and very serious feeling O.
distrust of some score or of colossal fol
tunes which have been created in ways
which the people feel to have beer
ways of oppression, of Discrimination
of wrong and perhaps of fraud. The
subject is we'll summed up in an article
by ]. Laurence Laughlin, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, endowed by Mr.,
Rockefeller, writing iniths;July Allan.

Attachment Notice.

q. r. Lee VS.. Pioneer Music Publish

Before A. H. Bullock, J. P.
In this cause it appears by affidavit
that the defendant, the Pioneer Music
Publishing Company, is justly indebt-
ed to the plaintiff and is nonresident
of the State, so that thv ordinary pro-
cess of law cannot be served on it, and
an original attachment having been
levied on its property and returned to
me, it is therefore or cred that publ
cation be made in the Comet, a news
paper published weekly in the town OF
johnson City, Tennessee, for four con-
secutive weeks, commanding the said
defendant to appear before me at my
Office at Johnson City, Tennessee, on
Saturday, July 29d, 1906, and make
defense to said suit, or it will be pro-
ceeded with ex parte.

tic Monthly. We quote one or two par
agrsphs:
"The hostility to large fortunes
does not diminish with time and events
The violent denunciation of the dis
contented classes, or of tho more ex-
IRENE Socialists, find an echo in the
ranks of the more conservative groups.
Into these expressions, evidently based
on strong convictions, has entered the
sting arising from a passionate sense
of waong; that these enormous accum-
ulations possibly ale at the expense of
the poor; and that women and children
go cold and,hunhry id order that others
may go warmly and live luxuriously.
In this point of view there is hope
lessness which serves as the incentive
to brute force; to wild assaults upon
the bulwarks of property and iustitu
ti0ns. What are we coming to? Are
the times out Of Joint? Certainly We
are forced to face this fact as found il
