PatterSOn'S Administration

The Patterson leaders had no trou-
BILE whatever in organizing the general
assembly. Mr.. Toilet, of Cumberland
county, and Mr.. Cunningham, of
Montgomery county, were named
speakers respectively of the senate and
of the house. Mr.. Patterson was yes
terday, with all legal solemnities and
formalities, with beat of drum and
roar of cannon, inaugurated governor
of Tennessee. By sheer force OF
brains, character and the advocacy OF
good morals, Gov. Patterson won the
most brilliant political battle ever
fought in Tennessee won, too, against
odds that seemed unconquerable and
superhuman, 1t has been long time
since Tennessee's gubernatorial chair
had in it as potent, patriotic, aggres-
sive, clear headed, true-hearted anC
liberal minded character as now
graces and adorns it. In other words
Patterson stands for something il
Tennessee's political life. The peopl,
of Tennessee will hear good deal o.
and from their governor in the mex
four years, and after that the people o
the south will hear a good deal of ant
from him. Troy News Banner.

This is Worth Saving

The following simple home made
mixture is said to relieve any form of
rheumatism or backache, also cleanse
and strengthen the kidneys and blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders if
taken before the stage Of Bright's dis.
ease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in
a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after meals and at bedtime.
A well,known authority states that
these Ingredients are mainly of vegeta
BILE extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy. Those
who think they have kidney trouble ol
suffer with lame back or weak bladder
or rheumatism, should give this pre-
scription a trial, as no harm can posi-
bly, follow it's use, and it is said to dc
wonders for some people. .77-S1-8i

Gov. PattersOn's 3 Message.

Gov. Pattersons first message has
the true ring to it It is the message
of a governor who has the best inter-
ests OF his state aud of his people at
heart. 1t makes no grand stand
plays, setting the unsophisticated and
the fanatical at loggerheads with the
large interests in the state, but treats
both the people and the corparate in
terests fairly and honestly, recon-
mending firm upholding of the rights
of the one and square deal in every
respect for the other,
The governor has dipped deep into
the tangled labyrinth Of the state laws
affecting such public matters as
schools, roads, taxes and elections. He
discovers to the Legislature the present
confusion and consequent unwhole-
someness of these laws, and recon-
mends radical and vigorous changes,
if effected, will put Tennessee upon a
progressive up.to-date basis in han
ding these momentous affairs. He
adheres strictly to his platform of re-
form where taxation aud the collection
of taxes is concerned, and be makes il
plain that his campaign in the name Of
pure and fair elections was honest and
sincere to the letter, for his recon-
mendations along this line are as un.
mistakable as they are certain and Wig
orous.
He is radical, but business-like and
right in suggesting the abolition Of tht
school director and substituting fol
this cumbersome machinery an aler
and mobile school board. His advo
cacy Of the Toilet bill gives the neces
sary state aid to county education
without being unjust to the largel
counties. He is, as yet, uncertain a
to the complete remedy for presen
poor road legislation, but he is posi-
tive enough in recommending tina
public roads be constructed like othe
betterments, and that modern meth
ods take the place of the worn.ou
road oyerseer and road labor system.
} That Gov. Patterson recommend
} the abolition of the back tax collecto
goes without saying, but in suggesting
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1907-01-31

the abolishment of this Office he layl
stress upon the necessity of passing
laws that will cause that class of prop.
erty "whose visible interest is small,
but whosespecial rights and privileges
are large" to meet fully every obliga-
tion of taxation. Thus, he takes the
wind out of those poor critics who
have vainly endeavored to connect him
to his disadvantage with the great cor
porate interests of the state.
The governor devotes great deal Of
attention to the election laws. This is
right and proper. He recommends ev-
cry safeguard for an honest election,
even to publication of campaign ex-
penses and uniform method of party
nomination. His recommendation in
this respect are more advanced in the
cause of honesty at the polls than any
yet proclaimed. They do him and the
state great credit, and he is worthy Of
all praise and all honor for his able eff.
forts in this respect
On the whole the message is a mas
terly one, radical in many particulars,
but suggesting the knife only where it
is sorely needed. 1t is resolute for
progress and for honesty and it is evi-
IDENTIFY freighted with cargo of useful
and helpful material for the state and
its people.
Gov. Patterson deserves congratula-
tions, and will doubtless receive them
from every county in Tennessee. =

CONTESTS SEAT OF J. F. WHITE.
Spicy Petition Filed by J, T. Fugate Of
Claiborne County.

The threatened legislative countesI
from Claiborne county has developed.
j. 7. Fugate, independent democrat,
has served the following notice upon J.
Frank White, democrat, who was
shown by the face of the returns to
have been elected to represent his
county in the lower house of the Fifty
fifth general assembly, and now occu-
pies seat in that body;
81. Frank White, ESQ.,: You are
hereby notified that | will appear, by
attorney, or otherwise, before the
house of representatives Of the general
assembly that convenes at Nashville,
Tenn, on the first Monday of January,
1907, to contest your right to a seat in
that body as a representative from
Claiborne county, upon the ground
that |, and not yourself, was elected to
that position, and that you are holding
a certificate and claim to said office
through gross frauds perpetrated in
said election. / shall present q petition
setting forth these facts, and shall pro-
test against your being sworn in as a
member of said body.
" This January 3, 1907
81. T. FUGATE.
"By G.. W. PICKLE, Attorney"
The grounds upon which Mr.. Fugate
bases his contest are set ont in detail in
printed form. The face of the Claiborne
county returns showed that White re.
ceived 1909 votes and Fugate S03 votes.
For governor, Claiborne county gave
Evans majority of /, 131. 1t is alleged
that Whites vote exceeds the entire
vote for both cadidates for governor in
1902 and 1904. Fugate, contestant
represents that he received a plurality
of the legal votes over Contestet
White. The charge is made that the
result of the election was perverted bJ
frauds and made to show that White
had plurality of votes for representa-
tive, and he received a certificate o.
election.
Charges are made of gross frauds
practiced in the Eight civil district
that the poll tax laws were ignored
that Danel G. Sisk, republican candi
date for railroad commissioner, Mr.
White and others entered into con
spiracy to fraudulently carry the elec
tion for White; that poll lists and tally
sheets were padded and falsified for tn,
benefit of the contestee; that whisk,
was in evidence and used by some elec
tion officers; that if the vote be expur
gated, Fugate would have pluralit,
over White, and that certain officers o
election Illegally marked ballots.
Contestant prays that he be permit
ted to enter his contest against Whit
and that it be declared, after full inves
tigation, that contestant and not con
testee was elected and that he be in

The Making of a Charming Woman.

Inc Making OF Gnarmlng woman.
OF course, the foundation of the
greatest of all charms lies in that un-
selfshness which illumines the face as
we'll as the heart As politeness itself
consists in little generosities, SO no
woman who sinks self in the giving Of
pleasure to Others can escape its reward
and not be herself intrinsically charm
ing. But all women are not unselfish,
and history shows US many who,
though innately bad, yet, through
mind rather than heart, have sent their
names down to us as examples oi
charming women. But they were mis-
called, and what seemed charm was on
ly fascination in them, which IL an in
born quality, though improved by
brain and use.
We have all known very unselfish
women, who we're mentally dense as
mud, and much of whose unselfshnest
went for naught thereby; but American
women are seldom lacking in that mo
ther wit that can assimilate what they
see of good in others; and, given tha'
self education, there are many little
things that can go far toward the max
ing of charm. To aspire to be charm
ing woman of the world may not be
very high ambition, but it is bettel
than to aim at nothing, and littl'
thought-mental generosity--can aiC
much in the making of what will pas
as charming womeu.- can Old Beau

The New Spring Shirt-Waist.

Broader shoulders characterize the
first of the spring shirt waists. The
smartest designs for linen shirt waist
is mede with three deep plaits on each
shoulder, back and front. At the back
the plaits taper toward the waist. The
pattern provides for high band turn
down collar, but the waist is also fin
ished with neckband, so that it may
be worn with stiff linen collar if pre-.
ferred. The regular shirt waist sleeve
is used, finished with straight cuff.
The fastening of the waist is in the
front through the center box plat.
The stitched plaits and the broad
shoulder line give this shirt-w waist an
air of newness and smartness. Though
this spring the lingerie waist will be
more in vogue than ever, yet the tail.
or-made linen waist will also be much
in demand. Grace Margaret Gould in

THE EAGLE.
The eagle is the king of all birds.
The eagle can fly right at the sun and
never wink its eye.
1t is because it keeps 1t eyes open
like all us Americans that we let it be

The young eagles are called signe-
lures.
If You leave baby lieing around
where eagle can get it it will take it
in its beake and fly away with it to its
learie.

wood sooner have our national burd to

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH.
Nora Sheehan Dragged by Fender of
Street Car

Nora Sheehan, seven years old, living at
the southwest corner of I'd and II streets
northeast, had a narrow escape from death
under the wheels OF a street car near her
home shortly after o'clock this morning
She was dragged by the fender of the car
until II could be brought to a stop, and to
that fact the little girl owes her life.
She was attempting to cross street be-
tween LIST and I'd streets northwest and
failed to see the oncoming car. She ran
quickly onto the track. directly in front
of the car, and was caught up by the fen
der.
Motorman William c. Clements saw the
body roll underneath the car. He jerked
his brakes quickly as possible, but the
car did not stop until 1t had run a distance
of about forty feet.
Then II was found that the little girl
had been caught by the under fender of
the car and dragged by her clothing. She
received painful cut over the right eye
and was badly bruised about the body
Motorman Clements and Conductor William
w. Witt and others near the scene carefully
carried the little girl to Schafhirts drug
store nearby, and a physician was sum-
moned to give her medical attention 1t
was found that while the wounds were
painful they were not serious. Nora was
later carried TO her home.
