If the mere enthusiasm with which
it was greeted at national political
conventions and gatherings were to
be the test of the national air. there
is no question that the title would
fall to Dixie" This seems to have
been borne out at the Bryan meet
ing in Madison Square garden, as it
certainly has been at other great
meetings of men from all parts of
the country. On such an occasion
there is nothing to- rival the dash and
the abandon of the famous southern
AR. In those very qualities il fits
not badly the national character. As
time goes on IL must lose TO an OK
tent its special association with the
confederacy.

KILLED THE DISPENSARY.
Col. H. M. Street Withdraws His
Petition for One.

Meridian, Miss. On account OF the
very vigorous opposition developed in
the churches, the ministers in several
of which bitterly assailed the move
ment for dispensary in Meridian, the
projectors of that enterprise have with
drawn the proposition. Col. Fl. M.
Street, the originator Of the scheme,
this afternoon issued the following card:
"Bulls have become so enraged at
the sight of red flag that they some
times injure themselves and innocent
persons. The one who waves it be-
comes responsible for the damage. The
proposition for dispensary has so en-
ragged some o. the opponents that by
their Incorporate and intolerant words
injury to themselves and the city may
follow. For this reason the red flag, so
far as am concerned, will come down
and no petition will be presented, l
suggest that the campaign funds be
used to help the poor. The Bible
teaches us that by keeping the ten
commandments and providing for the
poor no distinction will be drawn be-
tween prohibitionists and dispensary
advocates, if both are temperate.

TUCKER is ELECTROCUTED.
Three Shocks Were Necessary to De-
stroy His Life.

Boston. Charles L. Tucker was cleo
trocuted at 1912 this morning for the
murder of Mabel Page. Tucker was
officially pronounced dead by the prison
doctors at 1919 am. Three applica-
tions of the current were made. When
Tucker arrived in front Of the death
chair he drew from his trousers pocket
brief statement, which he read. The
statement was;
81 hope that God will forgive me for
all the wrongs have ever done in my
past life. l forgive everybody who has
wronged me. | am at peace with my
maker May God have mercy on my
soul"
Tucker then sat down in the chair,
and after the guards had adjusted the
straps the warden raised his hands as
a signal to the electrician.
After the first sppliation Of the cleo
tricity, DR.. Joseph Mclaughlin, the
prison surgeon, made an examination
and announced that the pulse was still
beating. After the current had been
applied second time the surgeon de-
tected a movement OF the heart, but
when the current was applied third
time, Tucker was pronounced dead.
The surgeon stated that Tucker was
unconscious from the moment the first
shock was sustained.

Lee Herring accidentally shot and per-
haps fatally wounded her sister, Miss
Addie Watkins, The ladies were ex-
aminiug pistol in a store owned by
Lee Herring, While in Mrs. Herring's
hands the weapon was in some unac-
countable manner discharged. The
bullet, a 38-caliber, struck Miss Wad-
kins in the forehead, penetrated the
skull and came out at the back of her
head. She fell senseless to the floor,
apparently dead. The frantic screams
from Mrs. Herring and the report OF
the pistol brought people from every
direction. Medical aid was hastily
summoned and after hasty examina-
tion the physicians found Miss Wad-
kins still alive. Heroic measures were
adopted to save the girls life, and it is
believed she now has an equal chance
between life and death.
