oE TRUE METAL.

John D. C. Atkins once said: 1T
takes a good horse to pull under cold
collar" Senator Carmack is of that
true mettIe that can take punishment
without whining or complaint. It is
easy to be gracious and generous in
victory; it is another matter for a man
to manifest magnanimity and forgive
ness under the sting and lash of fail
ure.
Senator Carmack is growing and
broadening with the advance of the
years. Each days fight finds him with
more courage and more faith and the
cup that is now handed him does not
shake his equanimity or break his
iron will.
The State needs, the country needs
the services of men of his distinguish
ed ability and character, and tho peo-
pie will yet turn to him in some future
day when there is a great work to be
performed-M News-Scimitar..

FORGED HIS OWN NAME.

(Pittsburg Cor. Philadelphia Record.)
Whether or not a man can forge his
own name is a question which the
local Courts may have to decide. All
clubdom in Pittsburg is talking about
a case which grew out of a pool game
played at the gay and ultra-exclusive
Duquesne Club, between Byron Robert
son, well-known and wealthy iron
broker, and Kennedy Ewing, equally
we'll known and wealthy The game
had been going for some time and was
getting trifle slow, when one of the
players suggested that they play so
points for side bet of $1,000. Ewing
lost the game and very promptly wrote
a check for $1,000, payable on the
Second National Bank
Robertson deposited the check, but
was called to the bank later and in
formed that the signature was not that
of Ewing. Robertson protested, de-
claring that he had seen Ewing sign it.
But the Cashier was obdurate, and
showed him Ewing's legal signature,
which was wholly different from the
one attached to the check
Robertson went to Ewing for an ex-
PLANTATION, and it is alleged that Ewing
treated the whole matter as a joke,
and merely laughed. Robertson was
angry and placed the matter in the
hands of John McCleave, an attorney
There it now rests.
Robertson and Ewing Indignantly re-
fuse to discuss the matter at all At
torney John McCleaye, when seen, adj
mitted that the case was in his hands,
but declares that an attempt is being
made to settle it outside the Courts.
If it does reach there it is very proba-
BILE that interesting testimony will be
forthcoming.

DIVORCE INCREASING.

Divorce seems to be growing more
prevalent every succeeding year. In
1895 there were two hundred and two
divorces in New York city. In 1904
there were eight hundred and forty
three
The same increase is true of Chi
cago, where in, 1895 there were eleven
hundred and forty-five divorces, and in
1904 there were twenty-three hundred
and fourteen divorce cases are on rec
ord, against three hundred and sixty
four in 1895. In Boston there were
two hundred and sixty-nine cases of
divorce in 1895, and five hundred and
twelve in 1904
Nearly all the larger cities show a
corresponding increase of divorces.

WILL CAUSE
DEEP REGRET

The defeat of Senator Carmack will
cause wide and deep regret, in Ten
nessee and out of it, for he has become
National character and has won an
enviable reputation during the five
years he has been in the Senate. His
intellectual endowment has been
strengthened by his habits as a stu
dent. He is a brilliant, bold and aggres
sive, and none can charge that he is
of the class of men who :" crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning." Whether right
or wrong he dares maintain his posi-
tiOn and asks quarter of no man. The
American has at times differed with
him, but it has never for moment
ceased to respect and admire him, even
while criticising some of his views.
His retirement will be in the nature of
a loss to the State and Senate, but in
these days of political uncertainty,
when the people are in a mood to make
changes, his defeat is without the hui
initiation that might otherwise attach.
The political life of no man is certain,
and Senator Carmack is the kind of
man to accept the situation philosophi-
American.

ARE STILL
CLIMBING UP

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn, May 10
The present condition of the phos-
plate market is a surprise to even
the most sanguine of the shippers.
About January l prices began to jump
up and while domestic rock of rs per
cent. grade had sold freely during De
cember at from $685. to $3.50, January
and February sales were made with
no trouble at $3.50 to $500. Every
one on the manufacturers side of the
argument said this was only a spas
modic condition, due to the unexpected
increase in sales of fertilizer, finding
buyers short in their supply of rock.
a steady demand at from 1915 to
$425, and this was explained by the
bad weather causing shortage in the
supply of rock.
So far May has witnessed the I'M
paralleled record of contracts being
made for all summer as miners will
made for all summer delivery and so
far into next year as miners will con-
tract, at from $4.10 to $3.50. Many
buyers who spent days at time here
endeavoring to get rock at 1925 dur
ing March, and who left vowing they
would pay no more, have gladly con-
tracted since then at as high as 81,
and seem to consider themselves
lucky.
The situation seems to have been
'philosophically accepted by the manu-
facturers in general and most of them
are now willing to pay 81 without a
murmur
On the other hand, practically all
of the mines have sold up to their
full capacity and very few of them
are in position to make sales at any
price whatever.
This condition is very encouraging
to the development of new properties,
and several of them are now in pro
cess of negotiation. One especially
f1attering feature of this situation is
the fact that these concerns will start
In business selling rock at a higher
profit than has ever been known be-
fore, and they are certain to be
profitable to a high degree from the
very start.

IN 1884.

Jas. K Polk, after having served as
a member of the house of represen-
tatives from Tennessee, and as speak
er of that body, was brought home at
the instance of Andrew Jackson to
make the race for governor. He was
a candidate for reelection and was op-
posed by the famous Lean Jimmie"
Jones, the great political fun-maker of
his period 1t is said that Jones could
rub a coonskin in such way that his
crowds would be convulsed with
laughter, and the more serious Mr..
Polk could not get a hearing. Lean
Jimmie Jones was twice elected, but
in the year 1874 as every school boy
knows, James K. Polk, then the great
est man in Tennessee politics, in
spite of his defeats, was nominated by
the democrats for president and was
elected Sentinel

She Didn't Understand.

Charles A. Mason, of Mason and
Kelly, tells the story of a girl and a
bookmaker.
There was a girl who went to the
races and was attracted by the bet
ting.
She mingled in the crowd about the
bookmakers. The excitement prevail
ing there communicated itself to her
spirit. She approached a bookmaker
and said:
IF put a dollar on a horse and
it wins, how much do l get?'
If the horse starts at 60 to l., said
the bookmaker, you get SCI. If it
starts at 20 to 1, you get $21. If it
starts at 10 to 1, you get Sill
But she said, suppose it starts
at 1 o'cock?' Exchange.

night a number of men visited her
house, took her to tree and threat
ened to hang her unless she revealed
her accomplices in the alleged MUIR
der. Mrs. Mcintosh declined to talk,
whereupon she was strung up for sew
eral seconds Upon being lowered to
the ground she still refused to answer
questions put to her, after which, the
woman declares she was strung up for
a third time, and when finally the rope
was taken from her neck her assail-
ants announced that she was dead.
Her body was carried into the woods
and left there The woman says she
revived and Immediately came here

Country Needs Such Men.

Senator Carmack is yet a young
man. Life is before him, and it is full
OF promise. The country needs such
men as he, and his friends need not
fear for his future. He can make more
money practicing law than the salary
of United States Senator. There
are several newspapers in this com-
try that would pay him $4,000 a year
for editorial work. We do not believe
however, that the people of Tennes-
see are going to allow him to enter
upon either of these professions now.

The burning poll of the Hon. Ed

|nessee with flame. The bald and aw-
full top of Fiddling Bob Taylor radiates
dazzling glare over the State. If
the votes at the general Democratic
primaries held Saturday have been
counted right, Mr.. Taylor will succeed
Mr. Carmack as a Senator in Con
gress on March 4, 1907.
Bob was said to have shown the
white feather because he wouldn't de-
bate with his opponent. Bob can sing,
fiddle, tell stories till his audience
splits, or pump pathos until his hear
ers are afioat. Why should he debate?
He and his partisans accepted the

l particularly complained was assess
Ia goat at twenty-five dollars. l
claimed that a goat was not real
property in the legal sense Of the
word and should not be assessed. One
of the assessors, a very pleasant fac
ed old man, very obligingly said that
could go up stairs with him and to-
gether we would look over the rules
and regulations and see what could
be done.
We looked over the rules, and final
ly the old man said: Does your goat
run loose on the road?"
Well. sometimes said I, wonder

dreadful offense.

old man.
