Interesting Talk On Senate

Former Governor Robert L. Taylor
was in the city this morning for sew

train for Nashville. He arrived at 10 :45
from London, where he lectured last
night. Night before last he lectured

learned of his presence in the city.

Why?

Why, when buying book, are we
influenced by the authors name? Why
by an artists, if we purchase picture?
Why do wise buyers insist upon
having reliable name on nearly every
thing they purchase?
1t is because the name attached is
the safeguard of the buyer-a protec-
tion against the palming off of inferior
articles.
This name guarantee" we all look
for in the most important things we
buy, and what can be more important
than our food?
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about
the buying of things to eat and drink,
and nobody realizes it more than the
up'to-date grocer, who caters to the
wants of his customers.
For instance, every real grocer
knows the reason for the universal
popularity OF Lion Coffee, the leader of
all package coffees. He knows that its
uniform purity and high quality have
made it welcome in millions of Ameri-
can homes for over quarter of a CEN
tury.
Realizing this, he cannot but hand it
out cheerfnlly when asked for it. He
knows that the people accept the pack
age as a guarantee of the contents.
Yet there may be few grocers left
who DIV not recognize that the buyer
not the seller-has the right OF choice
and they may want to sell their loose
coffee (who knows what it is, or where
it came from? y instead of lion coffee,
which the customer asks for, and the
merits of which both know.
In such cases the wise advice is:
"Change your dealer"

Hardeman for Taylor.

"Hardeman county Is and will be
overwhelmingly for Bob Taylor for
United States senator in his race
against Senator e. W. Carmack," says
Former Senator A. j. Coates, of Boil
var. "I think Taylor will get twenty
votes to Carmack's one in Hardeman.
In fine, Hardeman casts 1000 demo-
cratic votes and of that aggregate 1
doubt if Senator Carmack can get 100
votes in the county.
"Our people are opposed to John 1.
Cox for governor because of the part
he played in the combination that
railroaded Frazier into the senate and
Cox into the gubernatorial chair. Our
people resent this little trick which
threw Bob Taylor down, and the gen.
eral sentiment of Hardeman democrats
is opposed to Cox for governor.
Senator Carmrck was formerly con-
gresham from the Tenth district, and
Hardeman was one of the counties he
represented. and Senator Coates state
ment that he can hardly poll TOO votes
in the county in race with Bob Tay-
lor is significant. Senrtor Coates said
he did not think Carmack had any
strength in the coudtry counties. -

SECRETARY JOHN HAY DIES SUDDENLY
End Comes Quite UNEXPECTEDLY Early in
tie Morning After a Day of Steady
Improvement.

improvement
Newbery, N. H., July John
Hay, secretary of state, died here this
morning at 1925 o'clock,
The end came quite suddenly, as it
was reported that he was improving.
Mrs. Hay and doctors Seudder and
Murphy were at the Secretary's bed
side when the end came.
The Secretary bade goodnight to
his wife and to his attending physicians
about 10 o'clock last night, at the close
Of one of the best days lie has had since
his illness. The local trouble was
clearing up satisfactorily, according to
Dr. Scudder. The Secretary suffered
none of the old pains in his chest,
which characterized his earlier illness.
He had been perfectly comfortable all
day and happy in the anticipation of
leaving his bed for the greater freedom
and comfort a couch.
At II o'clock he was sleeping quietly.
A few minutes after 12 o'clock he
called his nurse, who at once summon
cd Doctor Scudder. Both Doctor
Scudder and Doctor Murphy hastened
to the bedside. The Secretary was
breathing with difficulty and expired
almost Immediately afterward at 1926.
Secretary Hay had only returned
to the United States recently from
abroad, whittier he had gone ro recou-
perate his shattered health. He SEEM
ed te improve greatly while in Italy,
and returned, feeling that he could
again take up his onerous duties.
Shortly after taking up his work he
suffered a relapse and was obliged to
take to his bed.
Mr.. Hay was born in Salem, Ind,
October, 1888, the son of DR.. Charles
and Helena Leonard Hay. He receiv-
ed his common scheol education at
Warsaw, Ill, and was graduated from
Brown in 1858. He received degrees
later from Princeton, Yale, Harvard
and the Western Reserve universities.
In 1874 Mr.. Hay married Clara Stoue
daughter of Amasa Stone, of Cleve-
land, Ohio. He was one of President
Lincoln's secretaries, and later served
at various legations in Europe. In 1897
he was made Ambassador to England.
He was recalled year later to take
the portfolio of State in President Me.
Kinley's Cabinet.
Mr.. Hay was acknowledged to be
the peer of all diplomats in the United
States.
He won even more repute by his lit
erary work than by his activity in poli-
tics and diplomacy. His most import
ant book is the Life of Lincoln, u
written in collaboration with John G.
NicoIay, which was first published as a
serial in "Hhe Century" and later in
several volumes.
1t embodies the intimate knowledge
of Lincoln and his career, gained by
his private secretaries, personal obser-
vation aud participation in large pari
of the stirring events with which il
deals and is regarded as contribution
to American history of the first import
ance.
Colonel Hays poems had previously
gained for him wide reputation as 9
keen humorist and sympathetic observ'
er of human nature. His "Pike Coun
ty Ballads" were published in 1871,
"Jim Bludso" and "Little Breeches'
becoming exceedingly popular.
