cox WILL ACCEPT.

It is generally believed in political
circles here that Gov. Cox will accept
the Democratic nomination for the
Senate from the Second District at
the convention to be held at Rogers
VILE Junction next Wednesday. The
nomination has been practically ten
dered to the Governor, and his friends
here are generally of the opinion that
he will yield to the pressure. 1t is
understood that Judge S. L. Chestnut,
of Hawkins County, the only announc-
ed candidate for the nomination, will
readily acquiesce in the plan to NOM
mate Gov. Cox Should the Cover
nor accept it will give him fourth
term in the Senate,
rather unusual occurrence in this
State. The Governor will return today
from the States mines at Brushy
Mountain, where he has been on an
inspection tour.-Nashville American.

PREDICTS DEFEAT
FOR A. A. TAYLOR
COL. ARCH M. HUGHES SAYS
6RoWNLoW WILL WIN EASILY.

Col Arch NJ. Hughes, postmaster at
Columbia, and state republican execu-
tive committeeman, is in the city to-
day comforting with leading republic
cans. Mr. Hughes is en- route to
Washington and from there will go to
New York. He predicts that Congress-
man Brownlow will defeat Hon. Aft A.
Taylor by at least 5000 majority in
the First district, and that if only
Taylor and Brownlow run, Brownlow
will get more Democratic votes than
Taylor will Republicans.
In regard to the gubernatorial race,
Mr.. Hughes said;
Geo N. Tillman is the strongest
republican in Tennessee and if he was
rendered the gubernatorial nomination
he would be several thousand votes
stronger than H. Clay Evans. Mr..
Tillman is in no sense a candidate for
the nomination but would accept it if
rendered him and would make an az
gressive fight all over the state."-

CRACK OF
REVOLVER
INTERRUPTS BEREA COLLEGE
COMMENCEMENT.
crosd Thrown Into Panic as Mrs
Viana Black Falls, Slain by Mrs.
Mamie NuckoIs.

RICHMOND, KY, June 7.-Panic
stricken and terrified at the tragedy
which was enacted before them, yet
unable to do anything to prevent it,
10000 men, women and children gath
cred to witness the commencement
exercises at Berea College this after
noon, saw Mrs. Mamie Nuckols shoot
and instantly kill Mrs. Viana Black
When the shot rang out and the crowd
saw the woman fall with blood squirt
ing from her breast, there was a STAN
pede and for a short time the widest
excitement prevailed.
Berea College today dedicated the
new Memorial Chapel and the occa-
sion combined with the annual COM
mencement, attracted an immense
crowd The college campus was pack
ed with people, the greater number
being in front of the Memorial Chapel
The exercises were in progress and
the most careful attention was given
the speaker. In the midst of it there
was the charp crack of a pistol and
the crowd saw a woman fall.
The dead woman lived in Conway,
Rock Castle county, and leaves five
children and her husband The wo-
man who shot her also has a family
Her husband is living and she has
three children. Mrs Nuckols lives
in Gainesville, in Garrard County.
While the two women lived in ad-
joining counties, their homes are not
far apart and it is said here that Mr.
Nuckols had not been as attentive to
his wife as she expected him to be.
Mrs. Black became, in some way not
fully explained here, involved in the
family differences, and the tragedy
this afternoon is the outcome of these
differences. Both women were prom
inent socially and the shooting has
created the most intense excitement.

ON STATEHOOD
QUESTION.
Basis of Compromise Said to Be Ac-
ceptabie to Majority.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-A basis
of compromise, if not the exact true
form, which is said to be acceptable
to majority of the Senate for the
settlement of differences ON the state
hood question has been submitted by
Senator Carter This provides for a
vote at the next regular territorial
elections of Arizona and New Mexico
to be held in November for delegates
to a Constitutional Convention to
frame Constitution for the proposed
new State and vote on the question
of statehood, to be submitted in this
form:
Shall Arizona and New Mexico be
united as one State?"
If majority in each of the terri
tories votes in favor of joint state
hood then the delegates to a Consti-
tutional Convention will be called to-
gether. If a majority in either terri
tory is recorded against statehood
then the convention will not assem-
BILE. 1t eliminates the expense of
holding a Constitutional Convention
in the event the decision of either ter
ritory is against statehood, and avoids
the confusion of the statehood ques-
ton with an election for State officers.

SEE YOUR HOME MERCHANT.

When you get a catalogue from a
big mail order house just look it over
and see what they will pay You for
your produce; also investigte and see
what their terms of credit are in case
you do not have the ready cash; how
much taxes they pay toward the sup
port of your local government; just
write them and ask how much they
will give toward the erection of a
church or school house; how much
they will give to assist the poor. After
you have done this and received
reply, see if merchants right here at
home won't do as well.-Ex.
