In this old burial ground are the

to our eye the saddeat spe. :s ...j
neglected grave of that young man
who sold his life to viudioate political
resentment, aid was the victim of O
bloody and brutal practica.
Several years ago we met son of
Gov. 3. E. Perry, and spoke. to him
OF that duel. He ssid his father
never recovered from tho horrors Of
the deed. He never spoke of the
matter but once to his family, and
when the subject was brought up,
raised his heud in mute protest, and
then stated that he never desired to
have tnat unfortunate and deplorable
occurrence mentioned ia his family;
that he would give all he possessed in
the world-fame, fortune aud political
future--if he could only wipe from
his hands the stains Of Bynum' Q
blood. It. haunted Perry 70 his
grave, and his saddened face plainip
showed that tho bullet which carried
death to Bynum ON. that little island

his own heart. :%H..=.>-..' .. ..... .

interest, especially to South Carolin-
lana. IF you ever visit Clemson Co..
lege, do not fail to pay pilgrimage to
that old Stone Church, and which is
still standing, but no longer used as a
place for public worship. It's grase
yard is. et:il kept up, and contains
many costly and imposing monuments.
In a few years those pine stumps that
mark poor Bynum's grave will have
decayed, and this sad spot become
lost. There is no doubt that this is
the grave of Bynum, for it has been
pointed out by men who were present
at both that fatal duel and the dismal
burial. But the present generation
seems ashamed that this duelist' 8
dust mingles with their ancestors,
aud it is said those sentinel pines
were purposely felled that the mem

sooner fade from the public mind.

Conservative Democrats are be-
ginning to realize that the nomi-
nation of Patterson is not the best
policy from q party standpoint.
Patterson is being roundly GEN.
sured by the press of the State
for his unsupported and exparte
abuse of Governor Cox. The only
charges against Cox worth consid-
ering involves merely a question
of law, and on this legal point the
governor has been sustained by
the supreme court of Tennessee.

We desire to express our sincere and

In Memory of MRS. Ada Ellington.

One is naturally saddened when listening to
the plaintlve tones Of NJ. and Mrs. H. s. Hall as
they speak OF their daughter, Mrs. Ada Filing.
ton, who, after short Illness quietly passed
away February %, 1906. Though Mr.. Ellington
was only % years and months old, she had been
married eight years to T. A. Ellington, who pre-
ceded her to the grave May /, 1906. rheylie side
by sidein Camden Cemetery to await the trump
ct call of the resurrection morn. TO make the
departure OF this good woman is the fact that
two bright, pretty little boys aged and years
respectively are left orphans. Besides these and
her gref-stricken parents, she leaves a brother,
Jesse I. Aall, and many relatives and friends.
Looking upon death as fearful monster, all
this indeed seems sad But to the christian par.
ents who have reared their children Alright and
seen them put OH the christian armor, only lay
ing it aside when called to their final reward in
Heaven, there is sweet consolation in the many
promisesof God. When we remember that il we
so will it, our separation from our loved ones
gone before is but brief; that BLESSED are they
who die in the Lord" that blessed are they
whOdo His commandments, and that this tenn
porary separation may be but the Christening rod
by which the Father brings us closer to Him.
We should be reconcled to His will.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellington, being worthy members
Of the PresbyterianChurch, died In the Christian
hope OF ablessed beyond. Then let us take CON-
fort In the thought that to them
"There was no more sea {" the time will come
When all our ships win safely lie
Within Gods l1arbor bright and high
Each storm-tossed ship be safe at home.
And those fair ships now lost TO view
Have gained the heavenly strand,
To them There's no more sea-they stand
With sail-yards furled and Heaven in view,"
Then let US be content; and we
Shall solace iind for every pain,
Ourloved ones we shall greet again
Where is no more parting-''no more sea-"

AN EXPLANATION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
desire to say through your paper that
as a member of the executive committee
of this county was opposed to the reso-
luton passed by the committee at it's
meeting Monday endorsing the candida
cy Of Judge Bond for governor. Ibid not
think the committee had such authority I;
that the committee should not try to
boost any candidate as against another !;
that the committee had as much right to
endorse candidate for county office as
it did for governor; that the committee
exceeded its authority and was setting a
dangerous PRECEDENT; that as an individ-
ual / had right to endorse any candi-
date, bat as representative of the DEM
ocratic party | had no such right. / did
not thinkit right, fair or just to the other
candidates or their supporters, hence /
voted against it. make this statement
that the public may know my position.

Patterson initiated the policy
of rule or ruin at the very outset,
and he is responsible for the con-
tests which are dividing the Dem
ocrats of several counties into
warning factions. He has con-
ducted bis fight regardless of the
welfare of the Democratic party.
Having despaiIed of winning the
nomination for himself his course
plainly indicates his purpose to
defeat the nominee Of the party.
Is this the kind of man you want

1t can be said to the credit Of
Governor Cox that he did not in
augurate the campaign of abuse,
vilification and discord in the
Democratic ranks. Patterson is
entitled to all the credit for what
disturbances there are, and they
are multiplying in all parts of the
State. Patterson must be elimi-
mated before harmony can be re-
stored in the ranks.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1906-03-16

Patterson has been posing as an
anti-machine man, yet he has been
identified with machine known
to be part and parcel of McMillin's
machine, one of the most ruthless,
unfair and arbitrary political rings
ever organized within the Demo-
cratic party in this State. Men,
phis Scimitar.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1906-03-16

Patterson should get himself
sworn into the Office he has before
chasing off after another. The
people of the Tenth Congress
sional District are entitled to rep
resentation in Congress. Ham is
drawing the salary, just the same.
IF he should be elected governor
what more could be expected of
the "reformer?'
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1906-03-16

When Patterson, the "spotless
reformer," bolted the Democratic
ticket in 1896 and tried to defeat
Carmack and Bryan, it never oc-
Cured to him that he would be a
candidate for governor ten years
later. But the people have not
forgotten it.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1906-03-16

Why are the politicians against
Bond? Because they know they
could not control him. They are
opposed to Cox for the same rea-
son. Funny, isn't it?
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1906-03-16

II nominated, Patterson would
have to make the race on a plat
form repudiating his own party.
He would at least be consistent
with his campaign of rule or ruin,
and-well, the Republicans must
be reconded with, you know.

appeared in the house yesterday, the
police we're notified, After questioning
the girl and learning that, according to
her statement, she supposed she was in a
hotel, she and Weaver were taken to the
station But two years in this country,
Miss Irvine is pretty Irish girl, with
an innocent face and fine figure. She
said 81 was born at Belfast, Ireland,
sixteen years ago. Two years ago, while
working in a hotel in my native city, |
met man from Orange Court House,
Va. I told him / would like to cross
the ocean. He paid my passage and got
work for me in his town. ] stayed there
until eight months ago. While there |
met Weaver. We met frequently and
he seemed to like me. Eight months
ago | got another job and went to Brick
haven. Weaver still continued 10
visit me. But then a change took
place. He did not seem to care for me
as much as formerly. A few weeks ago
he suggested | try hotel work at Alex
sndria. As ] had been used to such
work, | consented, and we started from
Brickhaven yesterday. Instead of going
to Alexandria we came to Washington,
and went to the house where / was
found. As soon as / entered | was
asked what | wanted to drink. | be-
came suspicious and refused to stay. The
police were summoned, and | was brought
here"
Weaver denies that he lured the girl
to the house, he asserting that she knew
the nature of the place.

Plea of Not Guilty.

New York, June 29. Harry K. Thaw
pleaded not guilty this morning to the
indictment charging him with the muir
der of Stamford White, on the roofoOf
Madison Square Garden.
His counsel, former Judge Olcott,
made formal request of Judge COwing,
before whom fhaw was arraigned, to
withdraw the plea by next Tuesday in
order that any motions might be made
or any other plea entered.
The request WAS granted, and Thaw re.
manded back to the Tombs. The young
millionaire looked 10 better physical
condition today than at any other time
since his incarceration. His wife, Evelyn
Nesbt Thaw, did not appear in court,
nor did she visit her husband in the
tombs this morning.
One of the strong claims which Thaw's
lawyers will make at the trial is that Mrs.
Thaw was drugged by White and that
knowledge of this atrOcious fact had
operated to deprive Thaw of his reason
temporarily. "No jury will convict nae
of any crime is Thaw's persistent state
ment to his counsel, "when they hear
the truth. | killed White because he
ruined my wife. | am not crazy"
The States prosecutor is investigating
today many stories concerning Stanford
Whites life which involves many prom
inent people. 1t is reported that Stan
ford White 6as largely in debt when he
died because OF his extravagances. To one
young member of the smart set White is
reported to owe $4,000 and to other
associates other large amounts of money.
Friends of White say he spent money
like water in his high living and that
his wife will be left only 5000, 600 life
insurance. Mrs White is said to have a
large private fortune, Former Judge
Olcott said today that he had received
more than a thousand letters attacking
Whites character. Many of these
letters were from women.
Lawrence White. only son OF Stanford
White, the murdered architect, denied
emphaticaIly today that he had made
any vow OF vengeance against his
fathers slayer.
