From the Sunny South.

Mention was made several
months ago, in the Household
columns, Of the death of one
whom we knew as Will Colon,
one of the most gifted contribut
ors to our department, and a
young man of noble and lofty
character. 1t was my wish at
the time to pay him some small
tribute; to lay ,as it were,a flower
upon his bier. But, being unable
to use my pen, l was compelled
to leave for a while the word
unspoken, the flower untendered
William Columbus Cauthen
was born February II, 1870, and
was, therefore, at the time Of
his death still young man, only
in his thirty-sixth year. When
boy of twelve he was thrown
from a wagon, and made hope
lessly cripple. For years af-
forwards, he was confined to his
bed, during which time he edu.
cated himself by hard study, and
by reading the best literature.
Though shut in from the active
duties and pleasures Of life, in
no sense of the word, was he
narrow. He was broad both in
intellect and sympathies, and in
every way he kept well abreast
of the times in which he lived.
His mind was creative as well
as receptive, and not for long
could he be satisfied with read
ing the thoughts of others, he
must also produce-must give
expression to The thoughts thai
scrOwded upon him as he lay on
his couch of pain. Not only did
he have decided opinions, but
he had also the courage of his
convictions. He would speak
out boldly on whatever subject
appealed to him, whether polite
al or otherwise. For his state
newspapers and for other period
icals he wrote under the pseud-
onymn of "Junius, ," while for
The Sunny South he chose "Win
Colon" as his nom de plume a
name many came 10 know and
love. The feeling and spirit he
put into hs papers soon won to
him the admiration and friend
ship of numbers of his readers.
He had read the best, had
thought much, and his dlsser
tations OH books and lie were
not only entertaining; they were
instructive and uplifting.
After some years he was able
to be out of bed and to go about
in a wheel chair. While still
sufferer, and far from strong, he
could now enjoy intercourse with
his lelloWmen, and he soon won
deserved popularity, being un
tailingly kind and courteous to
all. In 1898 he ran for county

large majority, his two oppo
nents having sought to use his
affliction against him, claiming
that if elected he would phys cal
ly be unable to attend to the
duties of his office.
When he left his country home
to take up his work in the town,
there was an accident as he was
being lifted from the train in his
chair, and he fell, spraining his
ankle, aud being otherwise injur-
ed.
To some this would have SEEM
ed an ill omen at the beginning
of a career, but he, undaunted,
was soon at his desk, where
he put himself into his work
with so much earnestness and
ability as to win from the comp
troller general of South Carolina
the praise that, in his judgm ent e,
Mr.. Cauthen was the best county
treasurer in the state; this eulogy
being expressed while the young
treasurer was still living and
working, and could be encourag-
ed by the deserved compliments.
One, reading between the
lines, remembering that Will
Cauthen was self educated, and
was physically weak, will realize
how heroic he must have been
to master and achieve so much
in the face of the most adverse
circumst ances. He was still
worthily filing this office, after
having held it for seven years,
when he was stricken down by
fatal illness. Feeling that he
could not live, his last thought
was for his widowed mother,
and he tried to arrange matters
so that her interests would Le
looked after in her old age.
1t was as writer that Will
CoLonE was known to SUNNY
South readers, and 50 will
dwell as briefly as | can upon
him in this capacity. True, he
wrote little for us after taking
up the duties of his office, being
compelled to give to these all
the strength he could command.
For this reason he is unknown to
our later readers. Quoting a few
paragraphs may give these some
idea of the quality of his thought
and expression while his old
friends, reading them again, al
most feel that a loved and long
silent voice is speaking TO them.
"Jonquils," he once said, "are
among the sweetest flowers that
grow; when | smell one | ALWAYS

has been chosen to introduce Ex-
Governor Taylor next Monday in
Union City. He is also member
of the reception committee and
will come through on horseback
at the head of large delegation
from that district. The white rose

Monday there will be people here
from every nook and corner of
the county to hear Bob Taylor's
matchless eloquence, the greatest
orator in Tennessee and second to
none perhaps in the world.

THE WHITE ROSE.

Senator Carmack had a big day
al Fayetteville Monday, so the
special states. He spoke to large
crowd. Honestly, we don't know
two men we would rather see in
the United States Senate from
Tennessee than Taylor and Car
mack. However, we hold it the
duty of Tennessee Democrats to
support Taylor this time, and if
the earth should accidently rise up
and smite Frazier, then we would
be glad to see Ned Carmack step
into his shoes. AT all hazards we
are for Carmack to succeed Fra
zier FIVE years hence, anyway. No,
there is nothing wrong with Car
mack, but the Democrats of Ten.
nessee owe Taylor a debt of graft
tude for coming to their rescue in
the hour of need. He saved the
party from defeat, and for that
they pledged to crafty the great
est desire of his ambition-a seat
in the United States Senate,
stronger claim, much stronger than
Carmack's claim for a second term.
The time came and with it the
usurper and pretender who sup
planted him by force of strategy.
Governor Frazier was elected to
succeed the late Senator Bate with
an undue energy and haste which
is conceived in sin aud born of
iniquity.
There was mighty rumbling
all over the State when the news
went out. Democrats of Tennes-
see said in their hearts that they
would live to see Taylor indicated,
and to-day the thunder tones from
the eastern mountains of Tennes-
see are reverberating in the valleys
of the west. The white rose is
the watchword and by the ides of
May there will be an upheaval in
the old State such as has never
been seen in many a year. 1t will
be the dawning of a new day and
the name of Bob Taylor, dearer to
the hearts of Tennesseans than
all her distinguished sons, will tri-
umph at last.

HEADS OR TAILS.

Ii is understood that there will
be a contest in Weakley County
resulting from the action of the
gubernatorial convention. In Sc
lecting chairman a division was
ordered. The count showed 900
Cox men and $50 for both Bond
and Patterson. Those who we're
present say that about 200 Patter-
son men refused to take part in
the proceedings and that another
meeting was held which instructed
for Patterson first and Bond Sec
ond choice. A Cox delegation was
chosen by the 900 voting for the
Cox chairman.
After this the man who advo-
Gates conventions for nominating
candidates should have attention.
If he is allowed to run at large
there should be guard to look
after him, or else yellow flag
should be hoisted over him.

acy.
There is no more common disease
than catarrh, and none that is more
dangerous. 1t weakens and debili-
tates the whole system, if it is allowed
to run, leads to serious and sometimes
fatal complications.
1t is noteworthy fact that among
the many medicines and treatments
for catarrh, there is only one which
the Red Cross Pharmacy sells under
their positive guarantee to refund the
money If it does not cure-Hyomei,
natures remedy for the cure of catarrh.
No dangerous drugs are taken into
the stomach when Hyomei is used.
Breathed through the small pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyo-
mel outfit, its healing balsams pene-
trate to the most remote cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, killing the
germs of catarrh, bealing the irritat-
ed mucous membrane, and making
complete and lasting cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con-
sisting of an inhaler that can be car
rIed in the purse or vest pocket,
medicine dropper and bottle of Hyo-
mel costs only 81. The inhaler will
last lifetime, while extra bottles of
Hyomei can be procured, whenever
needed, for only so cents.
The Red Cross Pharmacy is selling
a good many Hyomei outfits at this
season, and they have SO much conf
dence in the remedy that they guar
antee to refund the money in case it
does not cure.

ton as there is in finding a needle
in haystack and whoever secures
the nomination in the next May
convention will never know wheth-
er or not he could be elected by a
popular vote of Democrats. Very
few of them care, for that matter.
1t is a Democratic principle, new
ertheless.
One thing is certain. They will
have to go before the people in
November, and if the Republicans
make no mistake (which would be
an exception of course) there will
have to be some very close cam
paigning done to win. We are
not counting on a loss, but party
robes are fading and there is dan
ger and heaps of it.
If advice was worth anything
we would recommend a disinter-
ested candidate. Say drop all an
tagonists and send for Exon
gresham Richardson to take the
gubernatorial chair for o couple of
wears. He is one of the most dis
tinguished Tennesseans of the
present day and he would make an
ideal Governor.

Senator Frazier is to make his
maiden speech in the United States
Senate this week. The statehood
bill will be treated by the Tennes-

The Fashion Outlook for 1906.

Most attractive are the designs for
the autumn and winter and from pres
ent indications it would seem as
though the first fashions would not
require the modifying that has general
ly to be carried out in order 10 make
the styles becoming and not too con-
spicuous.
AS is always the case when the new
fashions are first exhibited, there IS
much to admire. much to wonder at,
and something to criticiSe. Hats are
still on the eccentric order Sleeves
are, as it were tentative-of medium
size in many instances. or exaggerated
y large or small size in others.
Again crinoine is threatened in the
width of the skirts, which, to the I'M
initiated glance, seem surely to require
artificial means to hold them out.
The initiated realize. however, that
the wonderful cut and hang OF these
skirts answer every purpose OF the
Crinoline, and the flare is gained with
out it. When petticoats measure not
less than eight yards around the foot.
it is certain that the skirt of the gown
must be of corresponding width; bug
