Considerable mystery surrounds

over.

men of the cloth will have the best
end of the game when it comes to
boosting. 1t is said that all the church
choirs in the city are training con-
certed yells that they will let loose on
the grounds, and unless the doctors
can induce the juvenile fans to turn
out and yell for them they will be lack

The Current Comment" writer in
the Nashville American of last Sun
day, says:
"One has only to ride over the
streets of our Southern cities to be
impressed with the great improve
ment in the new residences over those
built as late as six or eight years ago.
This is not only notably true of Nash
vile, but is equally as noticeable in
the smaller Southern cities. A fair
sample of this improvement in archi-
tectural beauty and modern conven-
fence is illustrates by Columbia,
Tenn, where most all the new resi-
dences are of attractive exteriors and
contain many modern comforts, while
the older houses have been So remod-
eled that they are very pleasing to the
passer-by. Few cities, even Of the.
larger class, have so many really at
tractive looking homes-homes which
impress visitor as being what they
ought to be. Their broad porches,
large rooms and high ceilings, their
well-kept lawns and beautiful shade
trees, their numerous flowers and
vines, their many beds OF shrubbery,
etc, so affect a visitor that he be-
comes almost homesick even while his
eyes wander approving over the scene.
Columbia has always been the home

rHE NoRTH AWAKENING.

Speaking of the race problem, the
Minneapolis Bellman says:
1T is time for the North to bear a
hand in the solution of the problem
it has literally shared in creating.
can do so by ceasing to exploit the
it has literally shared in creating. 1t
can do so by considering the mass OF
negroes in the South as they are, not
as sentimentalists represent them to
be. 1t can do so by disseminating its
senseless, fruitless attempt at higher
cultivation of the negro. AS long as
the vast majority of the race in the
South remains as it is. the strong arm
of white control must be strengthened
and encouraged to exert itself
THE negro must be taught the rudi-
mentary virtues he has forgotten be-
fore he can aspire to higher educa-
ton. He must be made to obey, abb
solutely. He must be compelled to re-
strain himself. He must fear and re-
spect the law, and he must be made to
understand that If he dares to as much
as think wrongfully of a white woman
he will deserve death, and at the
slightest indication of an intent to
commit wrong, he will receive it. The
North can do it's duty by first under
standing the condition as 1t is and
then uniting with the Caucasian Of
the South, in the knowledge of and
sympathy with his situation, to devise
proper, adequate and permanent re-
lief.
What is now needed is less senti-
ment and more common sense on the
part of the North. All the money it
has to devote to humanitarian pur-
poses, and all the sympathy and sup
port it can summon should, in the
grave emergency which threatens
North and South alike, be placed, I'M
reservedly and in the fullest conf
dence, back of the better class Of white
people in the South who alone are
possessed of a full comprehension of
the true situation, and who alone are
competent to deal with it adequately
and justly"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-10-26

Before the Senatorial convention
was called it was known in Perry
county that Capt. Webb, on account of
his war record, was unacceptable to
Maury county. That was before the
call, mind you. Then again, before
the Senatorial convention met, it was
distinctly and positively stated to the
Perry delegation that Maury county
would not accept Capt. Webb. That
was before the convention, mind you.
And yet, with this information fresh
in mind, Capt. Webb offered for the
nomination, and permitted his spokes-
man, Hon. w. N. Sloan, to say, that
Perry county will abide the result
and support the nominee, whoever it
is And when the nomination had
been made. Capt Webb permitted the
man who had placed his name before
the convention, Senator Schubert, to
move it unanimous; and 1t was made
unanimous, not vote in the conven-
ton being cast in the negative. More
than that, in the conference between
the Perry and Maury county con-
ference committees, Maury gave Perry
to understand that if they would name
another and more acceptable man,
Maury would support him; and, now
listen to this: That would have been
done, If Capt. Webb had consented.
So, while it was Maury's fault that
Capt. Webb was not nominated, it was
Capt. Webb's fault that Perry coun-
ty man was not nominated. If Capt.
Webb had sacrificed his own personal
ambition, his county could have had
the Senator Maury even preferred,
for harmony sake, t. give the nomina-
ton to Perry.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-10-26

The saloon keepers in Columbia are
electioneering for Webb for the Sen
ate. Why? If Webb is as good a
temperance man as Greenlow, as
some of his alleged temperance sup
porters claim that he is, why are the
saloon keepers of Columbia interest
ing themselves in his election? Why
do the saloon keepers of Columbia
want to take up Captain of Hearst's
cavalry and a Perry county man to
beat a son of Confederate soldier
and Maury county man, unless there
is something in it" to them? What
have they against Greenlaw except
that he is a strong temperance man,
running on a strong temperance
plank? What interest have they in
Webb unless they have the promise of
some favors from him? If Capt. Webb
is the christian, temperance Demo
crat he claims to be, he ought to be
ashamed of the support he is receiv-
ing in this county.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-10-26

1t gave the Webb boilers some
thing of jolt when the Republicans
turned them down so hard last Mon
day; but some of them are still hope
full that they can buy the niggers. ;"
And that reminds us: There never
was time when the sober, self-respect-
ing negroes could do more for the
good of themselves and their chill
dren, than to help vote the saloons
out of this county. The saloon is one
of the worst enemies the negro has;
it steals from him the little money he
has; it makes him drunk, and locks
him up in jail, and sends him from
there to the county road or the peni-
Tertiary; and the only use or tolerance
the average liquor dealer has for "a
Niger" is to sell him the drug to
make him drunk, then kick him out.
There is a class of negroes the sa-
looms have already destroyed, and
they can be bought and bought cheap
on election day, and the Webb boilers
may have them; but there is another
class of sober, industrioua ,selftre-
specting negroes, who are as much OPP
posed to the saloon as any white peo-
pie are, and they will not be for sale
on November 6, and we call upon
them to help their best friends free
the youth of this town, both white
and black from the blighting curse of
the open saloon. They will be asked
to vote against Greenlaw because he
is Democrat Ask what his oppo-
nent is. They will be told, perhaps,
that Mr.. Greenlaw's opponent is also
against the saloons Then ask them
why he is running. If they do not
understand the question fully, some
of the better informed negroes, who
want to do real service for their race,
should take the time and trouble to
explain 1t to them; for the negro,
most of all men, stands most in Che
way of prosperity and peace to his
own race and his own people, who

SUNDAY SALOONS AND RENTS.

SUNDAY SALOONS AND RENTS.
The Sunday issue of the Nashville
American has an entertaining de-
partment under the caption of Cur
rent Comment" From that depart
ment of last Sundays issue We clip
the following:
The collector of rents for a prom
inent real estate firm remarked on
Friday: 81 am not a prohibitionist by
any means and yet l do believe in
keeping the saloons closed tight on
Sundays. My firm collects rents for
various owners of small houses. In
one batch there are sixteen houses
which rent for 500 per month collec-
lively. Heretofore, with the closest
attention, have often been unable
to get more than $50 out of these, and
about SOS per month was an average.
People. would get behind and then
move out to some other locality. Since
the law closing saloons on Sunday has
been enforced, l get my 500 rents
without much trouble, and am collect
ing some back rents in addition.
TN another section have to col
lect rents from about a dozen small
houses which should produce $72 per
month. / am now able to collect the
rent in full, whereas got only about
SOS heretofore. The reason is very
plain to me- Heretofore much of their
wages were spent for drink on Sun
day and the people did not have it to
pay rent with. Now they can't get
whiskey and beer on Sunday, so they
stay at home, pay their rent, move
less and live better in every way.
When a man inclined to gamble or
drink, gets his wages on Saturday
night he is very apt to spend part of
his wages in these pastimes on Sun
day, if he has the opportunity. Some
of them gamble in the hope of win
ming a lot of money, but those that
win are very few. The closing of the
Sunday saloons is God-send to many
of the working peorle, and certainly
is a great advantage to the owners
of small houses renting from Sc to SIS
per month. l am not around preach
ing sermons, but know these to be
facts"
If cutting the saloon out one day
in the week will accomplish such good
results. why not cut it out all togeth-
er. And if closing the saloons will
help the poor man pay his rents, will
it not help him to pay his butcher
and baker, his grocery man and his
dry goods man? And If it helps him
to pay his rent, and to buy and pay for
more meat and bread, more groceries
and dry goods, whose business will
that hurt? The marvel is that the
people have been so long and so slow
coming to the conclusion, which,
thank God they have, at last reached,
that 1.-THE Saloon Must Co."

bined; and were it not for the further
fact that because of his temperance
platform and personal popularity, Mr..
Greenlaw viii receive a large major
ity of the Republican vote of this
county.
So there is really no danger OF his
defeat-If; there is really no doubt
of his election-IF. There is just one
IF to be considered, and that is, IF
the people will go to the polls and
VOTE
As we said before, we do not believe
Lewis and Perry county will desert
the democratic column simply to sat
isfy an old mans chagrin; but what
ever Lewis and Perry may do, If
Maury will poll its full voting
strength, Mr. Greenlaw's election Is
foregone copclusion. We have no
doubt of the people voting right, If they
vote. We have no fear of their voting
wrong. if they vote The question is,
will they vote?
We can but believe that they WILL
With the open Saloon as the issue,
we cannot believe that any sort of
weather could keep the honest, ear
nest yoemary of this county away from
the polls onNovember 6. If ever there
was an issue that should poll a full
vote, that issue is now on. II ever
there was a time when every man who
loves his fellow man, his country and
his home. should vote, that
time is now. Sherman's march
to the sea never devastated so
many homes as the accursed liquor
traffic does every year. Hearst's cav
airy, one of the most notorious bands
of marauders and .free-booters which
invaded the South during the dark
days of the sixties, never plundered
innocent hearths and homes and fire.
sides with half so pitiless, relentless
and sardonic glee, as does the occurs
ed liquor traffic every year. And now
when the day comes to vote this great
enemy out of our midst, will the peo-
pie permit any little thing to deter
them? Any little jealousy, or little
chagrin, or little personal prejudice,
to drive them away or keep them from
supporting so great an issue? We
believe not. But from now on, lest
some should forget, let's remind them,
and keep reminding them, that they
may become interested and remind
others, that the dawn is near at hand
when indeed and in truth the Saloon
will go, if the people will give their
time and thought and effort, just these
next few days, to be rid of it.
Let every man do his part. And
what is every mans part? 1t is to help
every other man do his part.

It was not theory but a condition
that confronted the recent Senatorial
convention. One of Colonel Hearst's
cavalry Captains wanted the
nomination, and the old Con-
feds of Maury county did
not want him to have it; and the
Maury county delegation were simply
afraid to go up against the old Con-
