Rapid Growth.

"The people of Nashville are fortunate in having the same news as the people of Birmingham have-the good news of very rapid growth and great development. Nor is this confined to any city in either of our states. The people of the south have at last reachel the point, so long remote from them, that they have a surplus with which to engage in the development of their marvellous natural resources. We no longer go to Plttsbnrg for our iron and steel, nor to Lowell and other Massa- chusetts cities for our cotton goods. We make them at home, All that remains for us to do is to make more of the food stuffs our people consume al home. When we take our corn cribs out of Kansas and Iowa and our smokehouses out of Chicago, we will achieve that great wealth and home independence which is possible, and which ought to be the aspiration of all our people.
 We produce wealth enough to enrich empires. There Is much agitating of limit ing our cotton production and reducing the area of cotton planting. The most practical and profitable way to do this is by devotng much of the land we plant in cotton to the production of our own corn, hay. meat, and other supply products This accomplished and no cloud lowers on our southern horizon"
 Chattanooga Lynching.
 In regard to the lynehing of the negro Johnson in Chattanooga, the ex-governor said:
 "I do not know upon what ground the supreme court of the United States in- teryened to stay the execution, nor have I any means of knowing what action, if any, the federal authorities propose to take
 ''fhe civil authorities at Chattanooga had made strenuous efforts immediately after the crime for which Johnson was tried and convicted to prevent mob yio- lenee. He had been carried away from the city and carefully guarded. Able counsel had been appointed in addition to those employed, as I am informed, to defend him. one of these has stated in m interview that after careful delibera- ton counsel for the defense concluded there was no reversible error An effort was made to get the supreme court of the state to interfere with the execu- ton and it failed. There has been a mark ed effort In other cases in the soath as there was in Johnson's case, to prevent mob violence. We had that illustrated re- gently at Shreveport, La, as well as in other localities where the law was permitted to take it's course. notwith- standing the shocking nature of the crime committed

RECORD OF AN ACTIVE LIFE
WON SUCCESS IN PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE AFFAIRS BY ENERGY
AND Perseverance,,

Albert L. Cole, the Republican can
didate for governor, was born on a
farm near Canton, st. Lawrence coun-
ty, n. Y, ffty-nine years ago. He
attended the district school until he
was fifteen years of age, when he be-
came a student at st. Lawrence uni
versity, attending classes during the
fall terms, teaching district schools in
the winter and working on the farm
in the summer After a few years
spent in this manner he was appoint

and the like, should see to it that we
have Republican governor to- work
in harmony with Republican legisla-

ed principal of a graded school, a posi-
twenty-eight years of age Mr. Cole
proved a successful and popular
teacher His school attained so wide
reputation that tie last year he
taught the tuition I.C:c than paid his
salary, the pupils focking in from all
the surrounding country to an extent
In 1875 Mr.. Cole was appointed school
commissioner, position similar to
that of county superintendent of
schools here, and in which he had 1873
teachers under his supervision He
held this position until 1881, when, at
the expiration of his term, he moved
with his family to Minnesota and set
tied at Fergus Falls.
m Coles Business Ventures.
i ~--..sglsssss&xz.saesss--~-
The first two years Mr. Cole was in
Fergus Falls he was engaged in the
real estate business and the two years
following he owned a. grocery store.
At the end of that time he became
interested in general mercantile
business, but here disaster overlook
him. Soon after locating in Fergus
Falls he had signed notes with friends
aggregating many thousand dollars,
the burden of which he was at that
time called upon to bear. This, to-
gether with the fact that his property
consisted of non-productive city real
estate, on which, owing to the de-
pressed market, he could not realize,
made it impossible for him to meet
his obligations and failure resulted.
His creditors, realizing the burdens
which carried him down, at once came
to his relief with offers of voluntary
settlements and in three months he
was again doing business
In April, 1890, he moved to Motley,
where his business rapidly expanded
and where, through resourcefulness
and untiring energy, he succeeded in
the various enterprises in which, in
this new country, he thought it profit
able to engage. While he was thus
annually increasing the volume of his
business he was at the same time
paying off his former creditors. Since
his enterprises have been successful
he has paid out many thousand dol
lars to reimburse men who had signed
away their legal claims upon him.
In 1895 Mr.. Cole opened branch
stores in Pequot and Walker. In 1898
he opened another branch store in
Akeley and in 1900 he started bank
In Walker. In all of these enterprises
the business was large and profitable.
He has since, however, reduced his
operations to two stores, one at Axe
ley and the other at Pequot. He also
operates farm near Motley.
His Work in the Legislature.
Mr.. Coles public career may be
said to have begun with his election
10 the state house of representatives
In 1902. He applied to the conduct
OF public affairs the same practical
and systematic methods and the same
energy and perseverance which had
made him successful in business. He
had not been long member of the
legislature in 1903 before he acquired
the reputation Of being one of the
hardest workers and most efficient
members in it, or before his colleagues
began to appreciate the powers Of his

Enthusiasm for Sousa.

1t is indeed remarkable how firmly
SOusa maintains his hold upon the
admiration and enthusiasm Of his
audiences. For example. he has been
going to Chicago many years with his
famous band, vet the Post" writes of
his appearance there IN Orchestra Hall
on March 11th as though he were a new
come: whose brilliance had fairly over
come them. Here are its glowing
words in issue of March 12th:
IA breat,iIess audience filled Orches-
ira Hall Yesterday. SoUsa. the
magician bandmastnr. stood with his
baton poised in the air. The from
bones marched out and leveled their
elastic instruments at the top gallery.
Then. like a great wave. the volume of
sound swept over the enchanted house.
The music must have called forth
strange memories. At the first strains
of "Stars and Stripes Forever, the
piece which brought nation to its
feet during the Spanish war. a dozen
veterans rose from their seats and
waved their hats enthusiastically. By
the time High School Cadets was
played, hearts as well as shoes and
chins were beating time. The music
ceased. The hall was strangely silent
for 4 moment. Then, like sudden
STERN at sea, the applause broke forth.
Still in a dream the audience filed out.
The day looked garish now and their
hearts heat not SO rapidly. But then
they had heard Sousa's Band. and it
had been another Day Of Memories.
