SMITH SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Floods County With Money He Had
Long Hidden Away.

Pulaski, Tenn. June 4.-Stricken
with the fear that he would be muir
dered for his money, Willis Smith.
an aged resident of the Fourth district,
has flooded the county with money
which he has been hiding for many
years. The money, amounting to fully
100000. consists of half dollars and
quarters of the coinage of two gener-
ations ago, and does not give evidence
of having been handled
Smith, who is eighty-four years of
age, kept his money in fruit jars
about his home on the left prong of
Shoal creek, until some one told him
that he was running the risk of being
murdered by keeping it in his home
He then hurried with it to local bank
and the flood of old coins followed.
Some years ago Smith put some
money in bank, but before he went
out some customer handed the cashier
check which the latter paid from
the pile of bills Smith had just depos-
tied. Smith saw this, and withdrew
his money, saying he would not do
business with such a concern From
that day until two weeks ago he never
patronized bank, but kept his money
at home

A SOUTHERN MAN FOR PRESI,
DENT.

Again is presented for consideration
the nomination of a Southern man for
President of the United States. If 1t
were not serious, and if it were not sug-
pested with some yelled design to defeat
Mr.. Bryan, this absurdity would rouse
the risibles it deserves. However, II
is irrational and not responsive to the
spirit of the age. II is one of these false
ydelusions rendered the South by politl-
clans of the North, who, while disguised
in the livery of Democracy, would re-
joice over the triumph of Roosevelt
rather than acclaim Bryan as the Presi-
dent of the United States.
Without INDUCING in an elaboration
of the question, the nomination of
Southern man for President of the
United States would be suicidal. Against
him would be aroused all the sectional
aninaosities and prejudices of the North,
1t would be an invitation to overwhelm-
ing disaster which no sensible man
should encourage.
As long as men of the Foraker type
are in the flesh, and in the North IS
numbered a great many of these ire
concilables, the political animosities will
be kept at fever heat to meet any emer-
gencies which may arise. What would
the South gain if it were complimented
with the nomination of one of its sons.
The South must not be. and it will not
be, misled by the tempter, no matter
how aliuring the prize. In developing
its resources and its opportunities, in
the accumulation of wealth, which IS
power, the South in time will be in the
position of defying the political section
alism Of the North, and until then the
wisest policy shall dictate the coiiserva-
tive medium and the resistance to any
political proposition which must in
svifa6ly result in discredit to the
South.
