Consumption and Hemorrhages Cured.

Doctors pronounced as incurable Miss Minnie uil' roy, of Morrison. Colo. who suffered agonies from consumption. h e m or- images, and severe cough- ing spells. She wasted away to a shadow and had given up all hope when She decided to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

 We have been building up a navy" on the idea that ships alone were neces- sary. But we have neglected to pro- vide additional sailors. gunners. en- gineers and. most of all. officers, so that we have not fully manned ship at sea and a large number of our vessels are laid up for want of crews. Every time new vessel is launched some one of those in commission must be retired In order to furnish a crew. Further more, the facilities at the command of our navy for docking large vessels are SO poor as to greatly hamper the oper- ations of our fleet on occasions when quick repairs may be needed.

Case of Mistaken Identity.

He was an old gentlemen and near
sighted.
Accompanied by his daughter Mary,
he started downtown to buy her a
dress pattern.
They passed dry goods store in
front of which were displayed ladies
wearing apparel on dummy figures.
Mary walked on ahead and examined
the hats in the window.
The old gentleman looked at the
dresses displayed on the dummy fig
ures.
He saw one dress which aroused his
admiration for the neatness of its
pattern. 1t was standing near the
store entrance.
STOPPING down he picked up the
lower edge of the skirt to examine the
fabric. Being near sighted, he raised
it close to his eyes.
"Here, Mary" called he to his
daughter, "this is nice dress; come
and examine it.
But suddenly the figure moved and
the dress was snatched roughly from
his hands.
What ne had taken for dummy was
young lady standing in the door
way.
Of course he apologized.

DAVIDSON FOR PATTERSON.
MACHINE CROWD AND PENlTENTIARY
RINGSTERS DESPERATE.
Business Community of Nashville is Almost
Solid for the Memphis Man, and in the
Country Districts the OppOsi'
tiOn to Cox is Fierce.

Nashville, Tenn, March 8. - The
fight the Patterson men are Masking in
this county has every appearance of be-
ing winning one when the polls are
opened on March 15. The only thing
that seems now necessary TO clinch the
victory is the presence Of Gen. Patter-
son, who will unlimber his batteriesin
this city on next Friday night. The
old machine crowd and the penitentia.
ry ringsters are making desprats ef-
forts to carry the county, but when they
are pressed to give an opinion Of the re-
suit, significantly shake their heads.
The business community, especially In
the jobbing and Wholesale lines, is al
most solid for Patterson. In some big
houses q Cox man can not be found. In
many Of the big manufacturing indus
tries the revolt against the governor is
so strong that it is alarming the Cox
managers. In the country districts,
there is fierce opposition to the gov
ernor, and though he has some of the
most resourceful politicians in the
country working for him, they seem
unable to stem the tide.
At Gen. Patterson's headquarters alb
solutely no fear is expressed as to the
result, and they say it will be land
slide. The Cox managers are greatly
puzzled at the strength Of the opposi-
ton to their man. They say they do
not understand from whence it comes.
Patterson friends say there need be
no surprise, that it is due to the desire
of the people to bury the old machine
and all it stands for.
1t is expected that Gen. Patterson
will make at least dozen speeches in
the county.

There's life in kiss of her rarefed air

Her sons are valiant and noble and

We bask in the smiles of the heavens

No clouds ever darken Tennessee.
Our grain waves its blllows of gold in

The fruits of our orchards are equalled
by none,
And our pumpkins-some of them weigh
almost a ton
We challenge the world in Tennessee.
"Our girls are sweet models of maiden

In this modern Eden, Tennessee;
They are perfect in figure and lovely in

That's just what they are in Tennes-

Fheir smiles are bewitching and win

Their dresses are stylish, yet modest
aud neat;

In beautiful, peerless Tennessee.

vAshville, N. c., March 5. The South
and Western railroad company has sold
its principal stock to the Seaboard Air
Line, and the latter will receive it at
Rutherfordton. This information is
given out by j. Bis Ray, of Yancy
county, who as an attorney for the
Southern railway has just returned
from New York, where he went on bus
mess connected with the affairs of that
road.
The deal, he alleges, has been made
in opposition to the Southern railway,
which has been endeavoring for quite a
while to secure a controlling interest
in the short line lately constructed
from johnson City, Tenn, to Marion,
N. c., and as a result Of the deal by
the Seaboard Air Line there will be
two lines between those cities, since
the interests of the Southern demand
that it also build along this route,
Mr.. Ray added that the contest which
had been waged between his company
and the South and Western railroad
regarding the title to certain rights O
way claimed by the two companies il
Yancey and Mitchell counties had beer
hard fought, aud the deal between th'
South and Western aud the SeaboarC
Air Line had forced the Southern tt
build through to Marion.
! Work is now being rushed by th'
Southern in the Hollow Poplar regiol
of Mitchell county, as well as nea

TO PULL WRIGHT OFF THE TRACK.
Second District Congressman Believed by
POStmaSter-General COrtelyOu to be the
Man to Pacify Warning Republican
Factions in Volunteer State.

Washington, March Congressman
Hale left tonight for Tennessee on his
consecrated mission Of paciiication.
Reliable information is that Mr.. Hale
goes to Tennessee to bring about the
withdrawal Of Asbury Wright as a can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor. Mr.. Hale today had a
two hours talk over the situation with
PostmasterGeneral Cortelyou, and
that was the plan agreed upon.
The Second district congressman was
suggested to Mr. Cortelyou several
days ago as proper mediator who
could influence Mr.. Wright to act for
the good of the party and insure a re-
publican victory. Since that time he
and Mr. Cortelyou have had several
interviews.
Mr.. Hale is prominent politician.
He is a man of varied moods. One day
he is extremely secretive and the next
he just leaks publicity. To some per-
sons he enioins secrecy of his actions
and sayings, and to others he comes
out in statements Of the same matters
that are intended for publication. Al
least he has had "Boss" Brownlow
guessing what he is going to do next
The boss is apparently not specially
serene as of yore over the situation.
MIR, Cortelyou is desirous that the
business be conducted quietly ant
without exploitation IN the press, bu
Mr. Hale has himself given to the press
that the administration has called hin
into consultation. The statement sen
ont last night came through the cor
respondent of the Knoxville Tribune
in which paper Mr.. Hale is interested
and which is his devoted organ, state
ment which he desired to go to oil th
morning papers in Tennessee.

The small portion of the press advo-
eating Judge Bond insist that the
West Tennessee jurist has made a
clean campaign. We believe that this
is all-that can be said of the Judges
campaign. We believe that this is all
that can be said of the Judges cam
paign, and, barring certain uncalled
for attacks upon General Patterson, we
think the claim a true one. But if the
Democrats of the state will take the
trouble to pass the counties which
have already acted through their minds
they will discover that Patterson has
not been involved in the wrangle of
disputed and contested delegations,
except in the communities where Gov
ernor Cox has had strong lieuten-
ants.
Patterson has met Bond time and
time again aud not disputed delega-

II We were 70 take Senator Edward
r. Carmack's estimate of himself he
as paragon Of truth and excellence.
lhe whole trend of his speech was to
try to convince the people that his high
standing as senator and his exalted
character as "full-grown man" were
such that he wa incapable of misrep-
resentation, or of doing his adversary
any injustice whatever. Does Mr.
Oarmack possess the high sense OF
honor which he thus proclaims? Does
he assume a virtue if he has it not?
We assert that in the Bristol speech he
concealed the truth, perverted history,
and deliberately misrepresented his
competitor. Mark, now, how a plain
tale shall put him down.
l. Mr.. Carmack, while claiming to
be a great friend Of the cause oi
temperance, admitted that he opposed
the prohibition amendment in 1887,
but gave as his reason for 80 doing
that he was opposed to putting a pena
statute in the constitution. How he voted
then is of little importance at this day
but it becomes important when he pub
lcly and repeatedly gives an impossi
BILE reason to Justify his vote What il
q penal statute? 1t is statute con
tanning penal clause which pro
vides the punishment for its viola
ton. Anderson's Dictionary of tn
Law defines penal clause" to be ''th
words of statute which attach pen
atty to the act forbidden by it," If tn
constitutional amendment, which Mr.
Carmack voted against, as a member O
the legislature in 1885, and which b
made speeches against in the generG
election of 1887, contains no pena
clause, then the senator has lighte
on the earth long enough to misrepre
sent the truth. The amendment read
as follows:
"No person shall manufacture fo
sale, or sell, or keep for sale as beV
erage, any Intoxicating liquors wha
ever, including wine, ale and bee
The General Assembly shall, by Law
prescribe regulations for the enforc,
meut Of the prohibition herein col
tanned, and shall thereby providee sui
able penalties for the violation of IL
provisions hereof. (See Acts of 1888
page 49t)
There is nopenal clause, and the of
+ repeated excuse Of Mr. Carmack fal
of it's own weight. Not only is h
excuse not supported but it is di
proved by the amendment itself, whiC
requires the legislature to enact
penal statute, instead Of one being j
