BAND WAGON
FOR RATE REDUCTION ALTHOUGH
he DEFEATED BILL IN LAST
LEGISLATURE.

Gov. Patterson at Union City made
the following declaration Friday:
"There should be no hostility be-
tween the railroads and. the people.
1.-THE principle of justice should
alone determine their reiasions. IN
some of the states legislation has been
enacated reducing the fare for pas
senger travel, and this legislation Do
now before the court for judicial de-
termination. Should the decision be
favorable to the contention Of the rail-
roads that such reductions are arbi-
trarv and unjust, there will be neither
necessity nor wisdom for the enact
ment of similar legislation in Tennes-
see.
..If on the contrary the courts should
pnfr,ld the legislation as just and rea-
eonable the people OF this state are
entitled to ask and receive similar
reductions for passenger travel. In
tb,s event I have assurances that the
railroads will voluntarily reduce fares
40 tbe people of Tennessee. However,
u tbis should not be done without leg
,slation I will insist that It be done
by legislation.

HARD SHELL"
BAPTISTS SPLIT
CHURCH IN GEORGIA DIVIDES
OVER QUESTIONS or US

Also Divide On The Manner "a
Foot-Washins-seeret
Orders.

ATLANTA. Ga, Sept sO.-A lively
fight has arisen in the councils OF the
Primitive. or Hard She'll" Baptists OF
Georgia, four Of the leading churches
having been thrown out OF the asso-
citation at the recent annual conVen-
ton Of the Echeeconne Division at
Salem. in this State, over the use Of
organs in the services and the taking
out of insurance by members Of the
church.
This situation has developed through
the controversy which started at Gull
loden Church, some OF whose mem
bers are opposed to the use Of organs
or any other music whatsoever in the
church, and consider II an ,affront to
God and sin objectionable to take
out insurance on property or human
life, especially on church buildings.
They also believe in foot-washing, but
believe in its being done privately in
the home, rather than publicly in the |
church. The strict members Of the |
association do not believe in having !
Sunday-schools, have no colleges
for the education Of preachers. and
1t wrong to have missionary
Dr. other societies in the church. Any
one belonging to a secret order is de-
prived of church fellowship, and the
I'D custom of washing each otheFs
eet prevails.
Both sides of the contest claim to
epresent the real Primitive Baptist
orces. At the recent meeting the
natter. was brought up with regard to
he use Of an organ by Shason Church,
nd resulted in the split 1t is stated
hat the faction opposing organs, IN
urance, etc., is In the majority, but
s yet the split is in its infancy.

MEET AFTER

Mr.. BEN CAMERON OF OKLAHOMA

An unusual case of brothers meeting
as strangers after a long absence oc-
CURED this week at the home of Al

lumbia Mr.. Cameron walked in to
dinner and found a stranger sitting
on his porch. He courteously said
good morning" and the stranger re-
piled with greetings as courteous.
The stranger said he wanted to get
dinner, and Mr.. Cameron replied in
his bluff, good-humored manner that
he did not know whether the stranger
could get dinner or not; that he would
have to get a good look at him first.
Then 1t was that the stranger revealed
the fact that he was Ben Cameron a
brother of w. D. Cameron. who went
west thirty years ago to seek his for
tune, and had never returned. OF
course the brothers we're glad to meet
and talk together. and the table was

COST OF LIVING
: Has INCREASED.
ENeLAND's LAsoRERs ARE up
AGAINST ToUcH PROPOSE
TIoN.-LoW WAGES.

LONDON, Sept. 30.-London. al
England, in fact, is facing the prob
lem presented by a general increas,
in the necessities Of life, without any
corresponding increase in wages. MOI
is there reason to believe there is
likely to be an advance in wages al
any time in the near future. Econom.
lists and publicists are wrestling with
the problem and the newspapers are
filed with figures and elaborte argu-
ments, but the prices Of food, fuel and
clothing continue to soar and the rate
of wages stands still.
As there has not existed any margin
between the wage of the average Eng
fish workman and the cost of living,
there is only one way in which. the adj
vanced prices of necessities Nan be
met. He viii have to eat less and
poorer food. The question between
him and actual starvation is how much
OF food reduction he can withstand
and still have strength to earn his
daily wage; for without the daily
wage, of course, he can buy no food
at all Teeming London already has
its tens Of thousands on the verge of
starvation, and report just issued
by parliament shows that forty-eight
persons actually starved to death I'm
London last year.
To add to the London workingman's |
troubles the London city council is
seriously considering the abolition Of
the prevailing low workingman's fare
on the tram and bus lines. There Is q
demand on the part of the tram and
bus companies for its abolition, and
the present moderate county council
seems disposed to grant every conces-
sion demanded by any public service
corporation. The council has already
permitted one of the big gas COM
panies to increase its rates, has re-
fused to promote legislation to cleanse
and purify the milk supply has taken
steps to kill the works department
in the interest of private contractors
and the even refused to build tramway
extensions because the plan had OPP
position from influential property own
ers. 1t would be no occasion for sur
prise, therefore, if the city council
increased the tram and bus rates.
Serious as is the advance in the
price of food and clothing, the Increase
n coal is likely to cause more suffer- I
ng. Several years ago, when the local .
,rices went skyward, number of city
councils started movement for the
opening of municipal coal mines and c
,rices came down with rush. A a
imilar course in the present emerg- !;
ncy is being agitated. G

Under the decision of the Suprem

places by the last Federal census had

were passed at the recent session OF
the legislature pursuant to the Pendle.
ton act become effective about nine
tenths OF the population of the state
will live in dry territory. The total
area Of the sections having saloons
wiz be inconsequential compared with
the dry" territory.
Bristol and Knoxville become sa-
loonless towns on Nov. /. or just one
month from tomorrow. The new
new charters Of Clarksville and Column
bia both took effect some months ago.
But in the cases of Knoxville and
Bristol a longer period was granted
the saloon men to close out. The bill
abolishing the charter Of Jackson will
not become effective until April 1.
Lafollette would have been dry but for
the veto of Gov Patterson. The bill
the charter of this town
was passed unanimously in the house
and by large majority in the Senate, |
but the Governor yielded to the infiu- |
ences opposing it and vetoed the !
measure.
In this connection brief statement
of the wonderful growth Of the tenn
)erance sentiment of Tennessee during
he past twenty years is pertinent
Until the passage of the original four
nile law in 1887 there were practically
10 restrictions thrown around the sale
i intoxicants. The famous act of that
ear which has been the basis for all
ubseQuent temperance legislation, in
libited the sales Of intoxicants with
0 four miles of school house, except
q incorporated towns.
The same legislature that passed
his law submitted to the people an
to the constitution provid-
lg for state prohibition. This amend {
lent was defeated at the polls by /
bout $4,000 majority. There was no /
irther temperance legislation un4il !

superintendent Davidson OF the public
schools was contemplating two Biographies
Friday morning, when caller happened in
his office. One Of the books was published
seventy-fve years ago and the other sew
enty-flve days ago. One was a geography
OF the world and might be carried in a
coat pocket while the other was a geogra-
ply OF the United States and q volume of
generous proportions and artistic makeup.
The old geography was published in 1881
and has been presented to superintendent
Davidson for the value Of it's associations.
Nebraska is disposed Of in this fashion in
this ancient geography:
Missouri Territory extends from the Mis-
sissippi river to the Rocky mountains, en-
bracing about 10000 square miles. II is a
vast wilderness and with the exception OF
a few military posts Is entirely inhabited
by Indians.
Nebraska was included in that 100000
square miles, This question was asked of
pupils studying this geography: 'How
would you sail from Ari1opolis to the mill
tary station of Council Bluffs2"
In this little volume is a picture OF the
landing OF the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.
The illustration represents the landing OF
a ship and a group Of people on the shore
viewing the new country. One of the men
Of the party directs his sister-in-law's at
tention to a sign on tree. That sign was
placed IN the tree by the Kansas City
Commercial club and was an invitation "a
the Pilgrims TO buy through tickets "a
Kansas City, where town lots at the time
were being given away.
The book also states that christopher
Columbus was born in Kansas City in the
year 147.
Superintendent Davidson prizes the little
book as a relic.
