An audience of not less than 1900 en-
thusiastic Democrats cheered to the
echo the opening speech of M. r. Pat
terson, the party's standard-bearer, al
the Vendome Theater in Nashville on
Monday night. 1t was one of the most
intelligent and representative aud
fences that has assembled here to hear
political speech in many days, and
every strong point of the speaker was
appreciated and applauded. That the
audience was in thorough sympathy
with the speaker and heartily approx.
ed the stand which he took on the
various public questions discussed,
was demonstrated time and again.
It~was an auspicious.openIng of the
Democratic State campaign and the
enthusiasm aroused and the interest
manifested in the occasion was such
as TO bring cheer to the hearts of the
most pessimistic Democrats. In adj
dition to the presence of the leaders
of the local Democracy in large num-
bers, there were present large num-
Der of the leading Democrats of the
State. and all pronounce the speech
one of the strongest presentations of
the party's cause that has been made
in Tennessee by a Gubernatorial can
didate in many years-Nashville

The speech was in part os follows:
MY -Citizens-As the accred-
tied nominee of the Democratic party
for governor, come to champion it's
case, the candidates it has named, and
to present reasons why it should con-
tinue in power in Tennessee.
Now it is no longer a question of
choice between men, of personal likes
or antagonisms. These have all been
settled by convention Of Democrats
who commissioned me to represent the
party. The regularity and validity of
my nomination is unquestioned, there

AGE $4,000 PER YEAR.

Since the Inauguration of the pres
ent penitentiary system, the State of
Tennessee has received in direct prof
1t from the labors of it's convicts the
enormous sum of $1,000, S94.4S, or an
average of more than 100000 per an
mum. This is record that is proba-
bly, not equaled and certainly not ex-
ceeded by any State in the Union, and
will stand as perpetual testimonial
to the wisdom of the Democratic par
ty of the State which has had charge
of and full responsibility for the man.

1t was early in 1896 that the convicts
were moved to the new prison, and the
system as it no wexists, with a few
changes in the plan of management in

"a, 1906, period of fraction more
than ten years, the State treasury has
received in cash from the convicts'
labors the sum of 1891, 140.43, an av-
Ierage of nearly 100000 per annum.
During that period the disbursements
for the maintenance of convicts have
been $2,774,245.4S.
These figures do not take any ac-
count of a single dollar that has been
expended for improvements or better
ments, and there has not been year
during all this time that several thous-
and dollars have not been expended In
permanent improvements that have
added to the value of the States prop
erty. 1t is safe to say that the per-
manent improvements and betterments
added during the ten years have ex-
ceeded in value the deterioration of
the plants and other properties sever

this has been paid for out Of the earn

ing Office for ten years.

Education.

First in Importance must ever be the
training and education of the children
of the state, and no commonwealth
can offord to be niggardly in affording
the means and opportunity for the
acquisition of knowledge. Morality
and good citizenship begin in the
home and by the fireside, and grow
and broaden in the schoolhouse.
Every dollar the state spends in
education is saved in prosecution for
crime, besides the enormous contri-
button it makes to the intelligence and
general store of wealth. The Dem
ocratic party as the friend of the peo-
pie has done noble duty in Tennessee,

The minutes for 1891 in the County
Clerks Office at page z show that the
old Jail property was ordered leased
to the highest bidder. On page Go the
bids are shown, the bid of Judge E. e.
Erwin being one of the two highest
bidders and the property was leased
to him for term of five years. Judge
Erwin was not then a member of the
County Court and was not elected to
Office till 1894. In January, 1897, the
Court directed Judge Looney to renew
the lease for an additional five years,
which he did. Judge Erwin giving his
notes for the annual rental of $3.50.
Since 1902 there has been no renewal
of the contract but the old contract
has been allowed to continue in force.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have Ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment to home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
In a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin FLOODED person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To ,d insure nns perfect aHd
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to 1t certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what Is necessary TO mako good,
rich, red blood. We must go TO Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians OF this
country before the advent Of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain In their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
JheSe are: GolQen Seal IOot queen
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make tho most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in

right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
10 bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect OF this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware OF the high medicinal value OF the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure slycerine as a solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
tcith alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery is a
scientific preparation compounded OF the
glycerlc extracts OF the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful hablt-forming drugs.
