According to Mr.. Morris propo
sition the county has a road tax of
about 1000 and a revenue from
citizens preferring to pay the pen
atty rather than work the roads of
about $13,0 900, total of $4,000.
If this statement is correct, we have
revenue of $4,000 a year al
ready. Isn't that almost enough
without any change in the present
status of affairs to make good
roads if they were properly ham
died? As stated before, we know
practically very little about the
cost of good roads, but If it is pos
sible, let US discard the bond propo-
sition; if not, then let us have the
bonds. In any event, let the PEG
pie vote upon the question. That

Marshall for Gov. Cox.

Lewisburg, Tenn, Feb. 3.-The
mass convention held here to-day
to instruct delegates to the Guber-
Material Convention was one of the
largest IN the history of the coun-
ty. The convention was called to
order at 10 o'clock a m. by Chair
man w. w. Og1lvie. Scott D. Da-
Wis, a Patterson man, was nomi-
mated for permanent chairman, and
X. c. Armstrong, Cox supporter,
was also nominated. A division
was called for, and the vote result
ed, Armstrong 200, Davis 220.
The convention then instructed
the delegates to vote as unit for
John l. Cox for Governor as long as
his name is before the convention
and tor Judge Bond for second
choice. 1t also instructed for Din
rell for Comptroller and Folk
tor Treasurer.
Jas. Allen, of Greene County,
candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner, was present and asked that
the convention not instruct for that
Office, but he was given the twenty
two votes of Marshall against his
protest.

Patterson Fakes Simmer.

Gallatin, Tenn, Feb. Sin the
biggest and most harmonious mass
convention ever held IN this county,
Gen. NJ. r. Patterson to. day secured
the instructed vote of the county.
BY IL o'clock, the hour for calling
the convention to order, LOO Dem
ocrats were assembled to partici-
pate in the mass-meet1ng. There
being no building in the CITY large
enough to hold such an outpouring
of the unterrifed, Patterson and
Cox leaders got together and agreed
to hold the convention in the public
square. The forces were marshalled
around large banners bearing the
names of their candidate for Gov.
ernor. Ropes were drawn to divide
the crowds and tellers from both
sides were selected to count the Cox
and Patterson men as they passed
certain points. Ten men from each
side were also used to prevent re-
peating. The count showed 704
for Patterson and 355 for Cox,
Yhereupon the Cox supporters, as
had been previously agreed, made
no further effort to control the
meeting, which was adjourned to
the Opera House.
The delegates to the State Con.
vention were instructed to vote as
a unit for Patterson as long as his
name is before the convention, and
further instructed not to cast the
vote of the county, or any part of
the county's vote, for John l. Cox
in said convention.

SPURIOUS POLITICS.

If the next Democratic State
convention fails to raise trough
house" present indications will
have to change very rapidly. A
mass convention was called to meet
in Smith County and what was
doneg Absolutely nothing. The
count was interrupted and the vote
was never taken, whereupon the
friends of Cox aud Patterson sep
arated and proceeded to hold two
meetings. The result is that two
delegations are to be sent to the
State convention. Patterson's
friends in Wilson County held a
primary election Saturday. A
few weeks before that Luke Nc
Menaway held a convention in that
county and elected Cox delega
ton. So Wilson County sends two
sets of delegates to Nashville and
nobody knows ''heads and tails
respecting the voters choice.
The campaign has only fairly
begun, and the prospects are that
there will be more of this "cheap-
si,r r,..tics before the ides of
May. Anything to win, excepting,
of course, Jail ofenses. 1t is
pity Judge Bond ever allowed
himself to be associated with this
sort of scramble. They observe
no ethics nor any established rules
or laws governing political organ
izations. Sort of hoity-toity
play among the soups and stage
hands. What a spectacle for the
"Old Volunteer Statep What
masquerade on the equity of South
ern elections. We have heard
men in other sections concede that
their public Offices are bought with
money and speak in envious terms
of our elections. How are we to
maintain our splendid reputation
under such conditions asnow exists
Is there any more honor in steal
ing the ballot than buying it!
Such counties as Wilson and
Smith should not be allowed to
participate in the proceedings of
the convention. But, of course,
the friends of either Cox or Pat
terson will gobbie everything in
sight if they can and ask no ques
tons. 1t will be sweet morsel
to the winning candidate, and he
will step out like a man whose
honor-r.r has been yindicated. Oh,

HANDSPRING OF LIFE.
No One Can be Strong With Weak
Stomach-The Red Cross Pharmacy
Tells How it May be STRENGTHENED.

The stomach is the handspring of
life. When it is strong and acts per-
fectly, then the whole system is right,
assimilation is perfect, and body and
brain are thoroughly nourished.
One may perhaps get temporary re-
lief from stomach troubles by using
pepsin, or some other digestant, but
this treatment has no curative effect.
1t does not reach the seat of the trou-
BILE and remove the cause.
How much better to use Mona,
which restores lost functions Of the
whole digestive system, reviyes flag
ging nutrition, and aids in the assimi-
lation of food.
Mi-o-na is pleasant remedy to use,
and benefit is seen from almost the
first days treatment. 1t restores the
torpid glands and stimulates the
natural digestive secretions. It checks
fermentation, stops germ growth,
soothes Inflammation, and cures all
troubles, such as headaches, back.
aches, rheumatic pains, furred tongue,
sleeplessness, nervousness, and general
debility, which are caused by imper-
feet digestion.
1t is the only remedy that is so uni
formly successful in the cure of stom-
ach diseases that the Red Cross
Pharmacy are willing to give guar
antee with every so cent box of MILO
ma tablets that the remedy will cost
nothing unless it cures. They have
so much faith in Mi-o-na that they are
willing to take all the risk.

Two Conventions in Smith.

mass-convention held here to-day
to elect delegates to the Guberna.
torial convention resulted in split,
the Patterson supporters charging
that in taking the vote, Cox men
were counted twice. The split
came in organizing the convention,
and resulted in separate action be-
ing taken by the partisans of the
two candidates.
The convention was called to or
der by L. A. Lyon, chairman of
the executive committee, at 10
o'clock, in the county court room.
The crowd was unusually large,
and it was found expedient to ad-
journ to the courthouse yard.
Nominations for chairman were
called tor. The name of S. M.
Young was put in nomination by
the Cox supporters and that of w.
v. Lee by those for Patterson.
1t was then agreed that two rep
resentatives of each candidate
should act as tellers. Names of
men representing the factions were
submitted and accepted. After
some discussion it was agreed that
the vote should be taken in the fol-
lowing manner: Those desiring to
vote for Mr.. Young to go to one
side of the walkway leading from
the gate to the courthouse steps,
and those for Mr.. Lee to the other,
after which the Young or Cox vot.
ers were to pass through the gate
and be counted by the tellers, two
of whom we're stationed on either
side of the gate, to be followed by
those of Lee in a like manner. The
division had the appearance of be-
ing about equal and the count by
the tellers had resulted in ABS votes
for Young, and they were proceed
ing to count those of Lee and had
counted twenty-one when the pro-
ceedings were interrupted by sup
porters of Patterson, who claimed
that Cox men had been counted |
twice, it being their contention that
after passing through the gate the
Cox men had climbed the fence and
returned to be counted a second
time.
This was denied by the Cox sup
porters and considerable confusion
ensued, in the midst of which J. M.
Gardenhire, a Patterson adherent,
mounted the courthouse steps and
read resolution naming delegates
and instructing them for Patterson.
The resolution was adopted, only
Patterson men voting.
On the other side OF the yard l..
A. Lyon raped the Cox supporters
to order, and motion was made to
adjourn to the county courtroom.
The motion was adopted, and in
the courtroom delegates were named
and instructed for Cox. Resolu-
tons were also passed by the Cox
men indorsing Folk for Treasurer
and Dibrell for Comptroller.
Both conventions elected a new
Committee, but no action
was taken by the Patterson men in
any State contest save that of Gov
ernor.
The Cox men admit that there
were men who climbed over the
fence that were counted, but claim
that these were men who were not
in the yard when the count began,
and on account OF the gate being
locked by the voters passing out,
were compelled to use that means
to get into the yard. The crowd
was good-natured and no signs of
violence were noticed. The contest
will probably be fought before the
Committee on Credentials at the
Gubernatorial Convention.
