unanimous consent of the democrats
in the Second state senatorial district,
composed of Hawkins and Sullivan
counties, in the shape of nomination
by reclamation for the senate, has not
stated whether he will accept the nom

here. There is probably not the slight

A Phenomenon.

A negro preacher while speaking to
an audience OF his own color CHANGED to
make use in the course of his remarks
of the word phenomenon. This rath-
er puzzled several of his hearers, who
at the close of the meeting asked to be
informed of its meaning. Not knowing
quite how to answer them the preacher
put them off until the following Sunday
when he thus explained: eff you see q

Bishop e. e. Hoss, who sailed June

several months, on an episcopal tour,
has recently received high honor in

greatest publishers of religious books
in England, as one of the chief contrib
utors for new history of Methodism

drawn from study Of the original sourc-
es. The letter requesting Bishop Hoss'
cooperation says in part:
cit is the strong desire of the editors
that you shall appear as one of the con
tributors to the volume, and I write
now to request that you will undertake
to prepare section dealing with the
history of Methodism in the southern
section of the United States from 1906
onward I hope you will undertake
the work to which we invite you. II
will be great Joy to us to reckon you
you as one of the collaborators in the
scheme"
AS will be noted from the above,
Bishop Hoss rs the only southern man
asked to join in the work, which would
meet with large sales throughout the
English speaking world. He possesses
literary gifts of rare ability, a Style
which is not only strong but very felic

amount Tatum for acknowledgement.
Editor Ewing of the American ought
to be made colonel at least on Patter-
sons staff.
Col. Walter Tolbert will leave for East
Tennessee in few days to manage Cy

We infer from the Johnson City Com
ct that Cy Lyle is rather pleased with
the late democratic convention.
Cy Lyle is favorably mentioned for
congress because he had sense enough
to get on the right side; while Jack
Reaves is favorably mentioned for the
dead house because he was foolish
enough to setNep the wrong side.
