UNION PRINTERS ACQUITTED.
Union Busters Fail Before a Fair and
impartial Judge.


Dan Young and Dennis Mccarthy,
two union printers. were acquitted of
the charge Of disturbing the peace .of
E. L. Skinner and Leonard Karl, by
Judge Daniel 90 C. Tracey, <ofzthe First
district police court.
Young and Mccarthy were arrested
at the instigation of Skinner, who is
member of the firm of Buxton &
Skinner, one of the job printing firms
which has failed to sign the eight
hour agreement which the printers are
preparing to enforce January 1. Two
charges of disturbing the peace were
lodged against them, and they were
held until they gave bond for $500
each on both charges.
The evidence at the trial of the
union printers showed that after Karl,
non-union printer who recently came
here from New Orleans, left the Of

pIoyes at Christmas Dinner.
Christmas night the firm of Speier
& Simon, clothiers, entertained the
employees of the store at dinner, and
a delightful time was enjoyed by all
present. The firm has been in bust
ness but SHORT time, but has already
built up a good trade. The good will
shown by the employers was highly
appreciated by the clerks. Several
short talks were made by those pres
,ent, and after disposipe, of the good
things the little crowd bowed Havana
smoke into the air and laid plans for
the future.
Speier & Simon have been liberal
advertisers in The Wageworker, and
this will account in part for the good
trade enjoyed by the firm during its
short but prosperous career.

against them. A few minutes later
Karl came over and made the same
charge against them.
After hearing the evidence in the
case, Judge Tracy dismissed both
chargessagainst Young, and one of tie
charges against Mccarthy, and the
other was dismissed by the attorney
for the complainant.
Judge Tracy stated that the evil
dence showed that the printers had
disturbed nob0dy's peace; that they
were merely exercising their rights as
American citizens In soliciting per
sons to become members of their
union. and that's they had done this in
a peaceable manner. He said that any
man had the right to solicit others to
join his order or union SO long as he
went about it quietly, and that in the

what it could to prevent said union
and,
"Whereas, the Church as a whole in
an orderly and constitutional way en-

articles of agreement, and the sepa-
rate action of the Assemblies of the
former two churches now united, that
in entering the union we surrendered
nothing hitherto sacred and dear to
us, therefore:
RESOLVED: THAT we now as a

pledge ourselves to stand by and up

to harmonic the church, especially
this presbytery, on the matter of union

to the contingent tax, mileage, COM

Uncle Henri Waterson and several
thousand lesser lights are saying that
"Mr. Bryan has learned a great deal
of late years" That is true in sense
and yet not in the way they mean it.
The learning has been on their side.
They are just beginning to understand
what Bryan has been preaching all
these years.
The Nashville American, says, the
Democratic drift is unquestionably to
ward Bryan, and the chances now seem
to be in favor of his nomination" But
it is such bitter pill to the American
they will not swallow it until they
have to, and there seems to be some
hope yet in the thought that many
things can occur in two years. But

DISSOLVES

CT COLUMBIA PREs6YTERY
OF THE C. p. CHURCH.
Proceeding Without Feeling and In
Christian Spirit.

The Cleavage being made in the mat
ter of abiding BY the union of the for
mer Cumberland with the Plesbyter-
ian Church, u. S. A., resulted in di-
vision of the Columbia Presbytery at
its meeting at Spring Hill Wednesday.
The anti-union sentiment voiced in a
petition signed by Revs. T. H. Porter,
R. j. Whitaker, John Stephens, J. M.
Ashford and w. T. Dale, with Ruling
Elders ]. H. RUSSELL and ]. w. Lee on
June 18th, asked the Moderator to call
a special meeting of the Columbia
Presbytery to consider the question of
abiding the action of the Decatur AS
sembly in reference to the union ques-
ton and other matters growing out of
it. Accordingly a call was made for
the meeting of the Presbytery to be
held at Spring Hill at 1880 a. m, July
18th.
There were present eighteen out of
the twenty-five ministers, and repre-
sentatives from thirty one of the forty
six congregations constituting the
Presbytery
Immediately on the organization of
the Presbytery, a resolution was Offer
ed by the antiunionists renouncing
the action of the Decatur Assembly in
the matter of the union, and pledging
the Presbytery to the support of the
anti-union assembly, organized after
the adjournment Of the Assembly. The
unionists thereupOn introduced reso-
luton as a substitute for the former,
protesting allegiance to the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
in United States of America, and in
dorsing the action of the Decatur Gen
eral Assembly.
The substitute resolution was by an
aye and nay vote of thirty-four to fiji
teen laid on the table. Immediately af-
ter which the anti-union resolution was
adopted by an aye and nay vote the
same as the above.
On adoption of the resolution re-
nouncing the action of the Decatur
Assembly and pledging the Presby-
terry to the anti-unionists AS
sembly, the unionists made a
statement to the effect that
said action left them the sole mem
bers of the regular presbytery. and re-
firing to a neighboring church, the
sitting of the Presbytery continued,
Rev. T. o. Webb being elected Moder-
ator and w. A. Provine Stated Clerk,
to fill the places made vacant by the
former Moderator Rev. H. A. Gray and
Stated Clerk Rev. T. jeff Dixon.

mously adopted, viz:

jority vote, has heretofore opposed

A mass meeting of Democrats is
called to meet in the Circuit Court
room next Monday to take steps to-
ward organization in the interest of the
Democratic party in this county. We
understand that an effort will be made
at that meeting to endorse Mr. Patter-
son, but not the Democratic nominees
for county Offices That would be a
queer proceeding indeed. The nomi-
nees for the county Offices are just as
much nominees, and entitled to equal
consideration and support, as Mr.. Pat
terson; and so far as their credentials
go, they are a sight cleaner than Mr.
Patterson can show. The behavior of
the Patterson men in the convention
here in Columbia and also in Nash
vile, was far and beyond more unfair
and questionable, than anything
the Independents can prove against
any of the nominees for any
of the county Offices. Truth is,
men who are supporting independent
candidates have no right to any voice
or seat in any assembly of Democrats.
1t does not matter how long man has
been a Democrat, or how recently he
has affiliated with the party, even to
the extent of being the chairman of a
party convention; if at this time and
for this campaign he is opposing Dem
ocratic nominees and supporting in
dependent candidates, he should not
have any voice in any counsel Of Dem
ocrats. That, as we understand it, is
not reading any man out of the party.
A man reads himself out of the party
whenever he refuses to support a
party nominee. and openly and avow-
eddy champions the cause of an indie
the use of endorsing anybody at Mon
days mass-meeting. Mr.. Patterson is
the nominee of the party, and does
not need any action of Maury county
Democrats to make his title good.
The nominees for the county Offices
are unquestionably the nominees, with
the cleanest titles any nominees have
had in this county in many years;
and no action this mass-meeting can
take will add to or take from their
right to the support of all Democrats,
The thing for the meeting to do, in
our judgment, is simply to organize
and go to work. And in the appoint
ment of the committees, and perfecting
their organization, they should keep
this one thing in mind:
"Put none but Democrats on Guard"

A State Fair is one thing; State
appropriation to a Nashville Fair is
another thing. Nashville merchants
could very wisely and we'll tax them
selves to promote a State Fair, be-
cause it will bring them bushels OF

ty merchants should not be taxed for
the benefit of Nashville merchants.

No wonder the Democratic party
met its Waterloo in 1904. The party
had fallen so low in the scale of morals
as to choose for the Chairman of the

before he would submit to thing like
that.
