Will Challenge H. Clay Evans.

Knoxville, Tenn, June IT, At
the meeting of the State Democrat
ic Committee on thursday it is
probable that plans for the coming
campaign will be discussed and the
question of a joint debate between
Gen. Patterson and the nominee of
the Republican party will claim at
tention. Since Gen. Patterson is
known to be heartily in favor OF a
joint debate there is little doubt
that the committee will go on rec
ord as favoring that plan of cam
Paign. 1t is not improbable that
resolution will be adopted request
ing conference with the Republ-
can committee to arrange a series
of debates. This will be the first
time in many years that challenge
for the debate has come from the
Democrats.

Travel and Trains.

The sensation of the month in
the st. Louis railway world was
the cut in time and the establish
ment of the Mobile & Ohio Limited
between ST. Louis and Mobile and
N e W Orleans. The southbound
train that formerly left st. Louis
at 8 a. M. now leaves at IL a. m. and
yet reaches til e gulf terminals
named as formerly at 7.25 and 8. As
a. M, respectively. There were
competitors who doubted the abil-
ity of the NJ. g. o. to make and
maintain this schedule, but 1t has
completely triumphed easily, and
thereby electrified the entire line.
The limited is composed of the fin
est vestibuled cars, with diner, elec-
trio lighted and famed, and the
service IS acknowledged to be Sec
ond to none between the important
terminals named. The VI. & o. has
remarkably advanced in service and
fame since 1900.
