"Death lies ON her, like an untimely Erost
Upon the sweetest flower OF all the field."

Upon the sweetest Hover Of ali the iieid."
Margaret Duke Sterling, beloved wife
OF Lynwood j. Sterling, died at her resi-
dence in Leonardtown, on the morning
of May IL, 19O6-not quite year from
the date OF her wedding. The evening
and early night Of May 10th, saw cheer
full. happy house whereloving hearts beat
high and warm in anticipation Of long
enjoyment OF home happiness, but ere
morning dawned, she who was the soul
of that Christian home was called to God
and loving husband was mourning for
the one who unto his youth was given,
more than all things else to love him and
is now a Saint in heaven. How true it
Is, that many make the household, but
only one the home?
Twas a smile, twas q gar ment's rustic,
Twas nothing that can phrase.
But the whole dumb dwelling grew conscious
And put on her looks and ways"
Fond hopes, high anticipations, all that
makes life dear, lie buried meath q mar
row ridge in a lonely graveyard, and
homes tnat few short days ago were Of
the happiest in the land are houses OF
mourning. To us it seems It's pity such
q Life could not last, but we are taught
to believe that's best which God sends,
and to His viii we must bow aud 90 Him
go for consolation.
The. sorrow-stricken husband, the
mOtherless babe, the dear old Christian
father who mourns his child, the bereav-
ed sisters and brothers have the tender-
est sympathy Of our whole community.
May the mereiful God bring them conso-
lation and se-unite them in the land where
there is no death and no partings.

In Memory of 8. P. Chambers.

One OF the saddest deaths that has
been in this city for some time is that
OF 8. S. Chambers, which occurred at
his home Wednesday evening, April 4,
at O'Clock. AbOnt one hour before the
death angel came for him he told his
family he was dying, but he did not
fear death, as he was perfectly willing
and ready to go. There was nothing
in his way at all. He has been on q
bed OF afiiction four months and has
borne his suffering patiently. There
was only one thing he wanted to live
for, and that was his family. He was
Al years, 9months and days old, and
has been married about sixteen years.
He leaves wife aud five little children
to mourn for him, but if he could speak
to them today he would say weep not
for me, for have gone to my home
above where sorrow and tears are not
known. He had been a faithful mem
Der of the Christian church for ten
years. His remains we've followed by
large concourse of friends and rela
tives to Valley Forge, where they were
taken Thursday on epecial train and
laid TO rest by the order of the Odd
Fellows. A FRIEND.

nation, seeing in it pie for themselves.
These, like the governor, can not be ex-
pected to call halt in tho interest of
democratic unity, but there are others
supporting him who, while willing to
follow to defeat, because of political
affiliations and possibly favors, are in
no way called upon to follow him ont of
the party and into ruin. These demo-
Gratis at heart, but machine men through
necessity, owe it to the party to take
council among themselves and then act
for the good of democracy.
If they are of mind to continue their
support of man who uses every effort
to defeat the will of democratic voters
even going to law with them over
their right to decline to instruct for him
they are welcome to do so, until the
last county has acted. But when the
counties have expressed themselves,
and it is plain as it will be-that the
democrats of Tennessee prefer the peo-
ple's champion, Patterson, to the ANAL
gated machine man, Cox, then, these
machine men who are true democrats
ought to join with their brethren in
preventing the composite production
from disrupting the party They should
take alarm at the first approach of the
"Cox trick in the convention, and if
they would not see the state delivered
into the hands of Cox's friends, the re-
publicans, they, like other democrats,
will lay aside the selfshness of machine
practices and devote themselves to kill
ing dead the spirit that would introduce
disorder and discord
From the beginning Gov. Cox has
exhibited willingness to provoke dis
cord. His action in Giles indicates
that he has now grown desperate
enough to foster disorder. He must be

Democratic Duty.

Even Gov Cox's friends are now adj
mitting that his contested delegation
method Of campaigning is a mistake.
They are becoming convinced that il is
not wholesome to attempt to secure a
democratic domination by contesting
the will Of Ties people. AT least many
of the governors adherehts are frank
enough 10 say that this propensity on
his part will, in all probability, cause
him to be defeated in most of the coun-
ties which have yet to select delegates
to the state convention.
If these fsr-seeing friends of the gov
eruor were as sollcitous for the unity of
the party as they are discriminating in
observing cause aud effect in the serv-
ice of the machine they would not only
admit the mistake Of this discreditable
practice, but would denounce it from
one end Of the state to the other. If
persisted in there can be out one result.
1t Will set tire TO the workings OF the
state conventions, destroy all hsrmoni-
ous action and lead to fractured party.
So far as Gov Cox hims is concern
ed it is possible that be would not deem
| a split democracy misfortune He has
rested in the shadow of Republican
Boss Brownlow and taken immunity
from his hands. His name has been
connected with republican designs by
republican leaders and it is by no means
certain that out and out democracy is
as dear to him as would be some sort oi
amalgamated republic democratic poll
cy, under which the people Of the state
would be made to experience the iron
rule of the machine.

BrOMnlOM'S Defeat.

Clay Evans sheled the Brownlow
stronghold and captured thirds of
the goods deliverable from that fortress.
This signal victory over the g late :"
republican boss Of Tennessee in his ow n
congressional district spells defeat for
Brownlow, if he continues an open aud
avowed antagonist of the Chattanooga
man. But AS we have said on former
occasions Walt @. can be foxy when the
big bluff fails to work, and it is evident
from the way he played his hand in this
osrug battle of bis fight with Evans
that he is providing ways and means
for safe retreat for himself. The willy
boss provided for an uninstructed del
egation from the county he controlled,
and this. too, when the republican bat
tie in Tennessee arose chiefly because
of his presumption in undertaking to
name the republican candidate for gov,
ernor without consulting republican
voters.

company for the same purposes and has
the additional advantage of being cheap
and simple Some of those lately III
use are both expensive aud intricate,
becoming ont of order easily.
The entire device hinges upon rach-
ct wheel and tension spring. The re-
triever is fastened to the rear dashboard
of the car and connects with the trolley
rope by means of the usual trolley rope.
This rope feeds ont to allow the pole to
conform to the v ire where it is higher
in some places than in others. But
when the trolley wheel leaves the wire
the sudden pull releases the clutch and
the rachel wheel begins to work rapid
ly backward pulling the poll down be-
low the level and out Of the way of the
stay wires. The retriever is then easi-
ly released and the pole set again.
The device is wound up by pulling
out the trolley rope aud all slack is at
once taken up by means of the tension
spring. The retriever is now being
tested on four cars, Nos. II, lS, 10 aud
one freight car, and it is claimed it is
proving successful in each case.
Recently thefreig hit car ran to Kansas
City from Fourth and Spruce streets in
forty-five minutes The trolley pole
left the Wire five or six times while the
car proceeded at this high speed, but
according to the report of the conduc
tor, the retriever worked without 6
hitch, each time taking the pole ont ol

time.

with his uninstructed delegations must
remain mystery until the sly fox from
the mountains chooses to show his
hand; but that they will be turned to
Brownlow profit and Brownlow advant-
age, even if Brownlow's choice, the AS
bury Wright man, is sacrificed world
without end, is just as certain as it is
that Clay Evans is going to get the
bulge this time on the boss himself.
We predicted the overthrow of the
boss when it was seen that the copven-
ton, composed mainly of Brownlow' 8
appointees, was afraid to continue in
Brownlow the prerogative of naming
the new state committee The victory
won by Evans in the First district,
where Brownlow is strongest, assures
the fultillment of the prediction, and
means that the one time boss must play

James A, Fowler, of Knoxville, who
was the BrOwnlow candidate for gov
ernor against Benton McMillin in 1898,
while III Chattanooga Thursday declar-
ed himself in favor of H. Clay Evans
for governor. In an interview he said /:
Il have given but little attention to
the distnr Dances in the republican par
ty, but so far as have observed the
masses of the party in my section of the
state do not appear to be greatly agitat-
ed about these matters This agitation,
such as it is, appears to be among those
who actively participate in politics, I
do not mean to say that the masses are
so Indifferent that they have no choice
between those who aspire to the candi-
dacy for governor. Mr.. Wright is very
popular in the Second congressional
district, but III view of Mr.. Evans
prominence as man aud republican,
and his past services to the party, there
is very strong sentiment that he
should make this race as the republican
candidate for governor. However,
both are men of strong ability, and
either would make very capable gov
ernor, and if the leadership of the par
ty is not SO unwise as to arouse strong
prejudices, either of them if he receives
fair nomination, will, I think, com
mand the enthusiastic support of the
republicans in every part of the state.
All they want is fair convention and
they are willing to stand by the results.

Eight Votes TO Patterson.

Linden, Tenn, April 0.-The mass
democratic convention Of Perry county
met here today, with between 400 and
800 democrats present. Every district
was represented. 1t was evident in the
outset that the Patterson men we're
largely in the majority, and when the
convention was called to order and the
Patterson men nominated A. d. Craig
for chairman, the Cox men did not op-
pose or offer counter chairman.
The convention elected delegates to
the state cons ention and instructed
them for Gen. Patterson by an over
whelming majority.
There was practically no fight over
the instruction for governor, but a
wrangle did ensue when the matter of
instructing for state treasurer came up.
The Folk men made a fight, but Hart's
friends were in the majority and carri-
ed the instructions.

dacy of Hannah for railroad commits.
