At 12.45 the sheriff unlocked the
county court room, the place
where the mass meeting had been
designated to be held. This was
Immediately filed with the adhe-
tents of Gen. Patterson. The Cox
people were in the circuit court
room. At about 10. 40 o'clock, and
in the circuit court room, the Cox
people instructed for Cox for gov
ernor, and adjourned. At 12,45
Chairman Wade did not appear in
the county court room at all. At
LOS o'clock 4. Z. Eslick, in few
words, denounced the action of
Chairman Wade, and r. j. Simp-
son called the meeting to order.
T. X. DAILY was nominated for
temporary chairman and X. H.
Mclaughlin for temporary secre-
tary. This motion carried without
dissenting voice. Mr.. Eslick
then moved that the meeting be

In the south courthouse yard
Mr.. EsIick moved that the tempo
rary organization be made perma-
nent, and he asked if the Cox
people had any nominations to
make. The Cox people made no
nominations. Without a dissent
ing vote the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent.
On motion committee of five
was appointed on delegates and
one on resolutions. These COM
mittees reported and the reports
were adopted without dissent.
Gen. Patterson was instructed for
and Gen. H. H. Hannah for rail-
road commissioner. The nomina-
tion of Senator Shubert was ap-
proved, and a resolution instruct
ing the delegation to vote as a
unit; that no proxies be allowed;
at no time should the vote of the
county be cast for Cox, and de-
nouncing his action in disturbing
the speakingin the opera house,
was adopted.
DELEGATES COUNTED.
A motion was then made that
the people present be counted;
that two tellers representing Gov.
Cox and two representing Gen.
Patterson be put at the south
courthouse gate to count the Pat
terson supporters and the same be
put at the east gate to count the
Cox supporters. Thomas E. Daily,
chairman, announced ID. l.. Eslick,
county court clerk of Giles Coun-
ty, and r. H. Ragsdale, former
trustee, as the Patterson tellers for
the south courthouse gate, and
Irwin McGrew and w. p. Butler
for the east gate, and asked if the
Cox people would select tellers.
No Cox tellers were offered. The
count showed "a Cox men and 700
for Patterson.
1t is safe to say that there were
$50 to 300 Patterson men in the
town not counted, who say that
Gen. Patterson had from 5 to 10
to / for Cox. Gov. Cox did not
have over 100 supporters in town.
There was no fight on the stage,
and there was no disturbance at ali
until the crowd, headed by John
Nj. Bittick, N. H. White and Gov.
Cox, came on the stage yelling.
The circuit court room was
to the Cox people. 1t is
the same size as the county court
room. The county court room
was locked to all partisans alike
until 12.45 o'clock, and the Cox
people across the hall were notified
that it was being opened. The
Cox people had called their mass
meeting and adjourned before /
o'clock. One of the most repre-
crowds of Democrats
ever here was assembled to day. |
1t is safe to say that four fifths,
md probably nine tenths, of the
Democratic voters in Pulaski were
'or Gen. Patterson.

the wedding took place.
When DR.. Bennett and his bride came
out of the house on their way 10 the
Pennsylvania station they found that
their carriage had been festooned and
garlanded in a way that only a lot
Of enthusiastic friends could accomplish.
Added 20 the flowers was a chime of
bells OF the COW variety, which had
been thOughtfully supplied by a friend
lest the ride TO the station might be too
quiet The bride took the flowers all
right, but when She heard the firsJ
tinkle OF one Of the bells her courage
failed. and she fed. The new Mrs.
Bennett was picked up without a say
so on her part and Whisked of to the
station, After much waiting and watch
ing. along came the bridegroom, Via

Lady Somerset's Advice.

Nothing, we believe today. is more
destructive to the we'll being of any
people than the organized liquor traffic.
Nothing makes II harder for men and
women TO fulfill the destiny for which
God created them. Nothing undeTmines
principle, saps vitality, wastes re-
sources, and devastates homes more
than the drink habit. which is the fate
ful heritage Of nearly the whole civil
lied world. The children OF the younger
lands need 10 have much patience with
those who appear "a be taking more
devious ways TO undermine the enemy.
Tor a frontal attack may. in some in
stances. te the best tactics. but a times
IL is necessary 10 cut on supplies a
method which involves long waiting
and watching but which in the end may
be The most effeCtuaL This Is the faith
which some of the most experienced
veterans iu the temperance mOvemnt
hold in my country and IL is a question
over which some controversy is raging.
Controversy is good. IL quickens and
