THE Bondman," will be at the Newark
Theatre the week of January 6. Tine
Bondman" depicts the lives OF the owiy

with the human emotions in their most
rugged form. 1t is the story of two
brothers who have never seen each other,
and each of whom has sworn TO XIII tne
other. They are linked together as fellow
conyicts in the sulphur mines, and there IS
a situation where the bitterest and most
implacable avenger, standing in the
shadow of death, saves the others HE.
| MIR. Lackaye, one of our very strongest
actors. Is said to have found a rugged and
| vital character in Jason, whose passion
is that of the elementary cave man, but
who rises to heights of nobility. The
Bondman' gives opportunity for stage ell
fects of the massive type. There are SIN
scenes. including the harvest fete on the
Isle of Man and the struggle in the sulphur
mines of Sicily?

ris. Tom Singleton, a falsely accused
man, in the moment of his inability to es-
tabliSh his innocence, turns to drink, and,
sinking lower and lower in the moral scale,
is arrested in his downward fight by the
hand of a woman and answers the call
nobly at the crucial moment. This is when
the villain of the play, though MS private
car and engine stand ready to move, re-
fuses to allow his driver to run to the
succor of a village of a few hundred
souls, who are caught by a raging prairie
fire and cut off from all hope of rescue.

! the hero leaps upon the engine, and,
throwing wide open the throttle, COM
! mences his mad dash through a sea of
fire.

lumbia Theatre on January 8 will be A.

Taylor, former Governor of Kentucky,
who is under indictment for COM
plicity in the murder of Gov. Goebel,
and who has for more than seven
years been a resident of indianapolis,

Governor from extradition, does not

Attorney. to see TO it that he is not
arrested II he returns to Kentucky to
testify in the Powers trial.
Taylor insists that he knew nothing
of any conspiracy to assassinate Gov.
Goebel If he testified in the Powers
trial his evidence would be of a mega

benefit to the prisoner Taylor be-
lieves implicitly in the innocence of
Powers, but he will not take the risk
Of setting foot on Kentucky soil, how
ever sincere the Commonwealth might
be in its desire to protect him in order

CARNEGIE GOT HIS
TAFFY FOR NOTHING

When Andrew Carnegie was a
young man he was Unfortunately fond
of taffy. And when we learn the
scheme he adopted to keep himself
supplied, it is easy to understand why
today he is able to build Libraries.
Andy suggested to the other clerks
in the Office in which he was employed
that they organize club for mutual
One of the rules pro
vided that any fember guilty of break
ing any of the numerous regulations
laid down for gentlemanly conduct
should pay fine of / cent for each
offense. Tobacco was not allowed in
the office so, under the skillful wire
pulling of Carnegie, it was voted that
the fund deriving should be used for
the purchase of taffy. Carnegie was
elected treasurer and disburser Of the
fund and, as he never had to pay fines
for misconduct, his taffy cost nothing.

A USEFUL DOG

HIS MASTER FOR TEN
YEARS.

One of the sights on the streets of
Columbia almost every first Monday
is the man from Cannon county with
his big load of woven baskets. This
man has been coming here for years
and his sales are large. Probably a
good many people have noticed that
when the basket man comes to town
ne has a large hound hitched to the
back to his wagon and when he starts
to leave the dog has disappeared The
mystery of the dog was explained to
the Herald man by Register Lipscomb.
This dog is called the pikeage-payer,
and the same dog is said to have been
doing service ten years. The basket
man, when he arrives at Columbia
looks up purchaser for the dog and
sells him at $40, If possible, II not, at
less, The buyer pays his money and
takes the dog home, but the dog IL.
trained and soon manages to make his
escape and starts on the homeward
journey across half dozen counties.
When the basket man gets home his |
dog is waiting for him and is ready
for another journey and another sale.
In this way the dog brings in enough
to pay the pikeage. The dog brought
only SIS on the last trip, the market
for dogs being dull.

LAST YEAR.-LARGE ENTRY
LIST EXPECTED.

One of the chief attractions of the
big fair, the Tennessee Fair Associa-
tion will hold at their centennial year
celebration on September 18th, to
21st, inclusive, will be the poultry ex-
hibit. The entire lower floor of the
Floral Hall will be used for the ex-
hibit and pOultrymen throughout the
entire county will do every thing in
their power to make it one of the lar
gest and best exhibits ever seen at
county fair. Mr.. W. H. Puryear,
Superintendent of this department, is
untiring in his efforts TO make it a
great success. Last years entry list
was something like 600 and this year
the management hopes to have this
number doubled. Mr. r. f. Jones,
proprietor of The Pines" Paducah,
Ky, has been selected to award the
ribbons Mr.. Jones is judge of Ma
tional reputation and a bird scored by
him will be judged on its merits. The
Como Chick Feed Company will fur
nish feed for the occasion and the
very best of care and attention will
be given the birds on exhibition. The
Superintendent and Association will
be especially glad to have large
number of exhibits outside of the
county and TO that end have prepared
a very attractive premium list which
is now in the hands If the printers,
but will soon be out and copy mailed
to every poultryman in the adjoining
The premiums amount to
more than $4,000, or more than twice
as much as those of last year. The
will be glad to have all
exhibitors accompany their birds, be-
cause there will be great many at
fractions besides the poultry exhibit.
That will be Homecoming Week for
I'll Tennesseans and there will be
people from nearly every Southern
state here, then why not exhibit your
birds where everybody can see what

gon. F. D. Waddell, of Memphis,
member of the last legislature from

~ guest Of Hon. Frank S. Garden
for several days.
Mr.. Waddell thinks political pros
meets are bright over the nation at
this time from a democratic stand
point and that the eyes of the world
are now on William Jennings Bryan.
He states that in his opinion Mr..
BRYAN will be the democratic nominee
in 1908 and that the country will wit
ness the greatest campaign of modern
time. Mr. Waddell will in all proba-
bility be a candidate for the next leg
islature to succeed himself the next
time from Shelby county. He is a
brilliant young man and made a SPLEEN
did record in the last legislature He
was loud in praise of the Hamilton
county delegation, Messrs. Cummings,
Garden and Groner and Senator Foust.
He said if East Tennessee was soon
to have another democratic candi-
date for governor that no better tim
Der could be found than Chattanooga S
present state senator, the Hon. ]. L.
Foust.
He madespecial mention Of the
prominence and ability shown by Rep
resentatiVe Frank S. Garden of this
county in the last legislature and said
if he should want to return the coun-
ty would make a serious mistake not
TO send him. Speaking of the race for
governor one year hence, Mr.. Waddell !
said
Governor Patterson has made an
ideal chief executive and it is only |
democratic doctrine to give him a |
second term. He would beat any |
democrat in Tennessee for the nomin-
alton but hope he will be nominated
without fight. | want to correct an
or statement rather, be-
ing sent out by Gov Patterson's enc
niles that he couldn't carry Shelby
county If Mr. Carmack is candidate.
You may say for me that in my opin-
on, Mr.. Carmack will not be a candi-
late for governor, but if he is, Gov.
Patterson will beat him badly in West
especially Shelby county"

AMERICA OF
THE FUTURE
DREAM OF ONE GREAT NORTH
AND SOUTH AMERICAN
REPUBLIC.

A dream of one great North and
South American republic-the entire
western hemisphere formed into
New United States-says the Brook
Ign Eagle, may seem like the fantasy
of a writer of opera bouffe. The
stretching of 3,511, 900 square miles
of territory and the expansion of
population of 100000 into a popu-
lation of 144,0OO,OO0 may smack of an
up-to-date version of the One Thou
sand and One Nights"
To those of us without imagination
it cannot appeal. Yet those Of us who
have Imagination may go back--in our
minds-415 years, and we may see
that sea, called by other men OF imag-
nation the Sea of Darkness" and
we may dream OF a great continent
reaching from pole to pole that for
had been unknown to civ
ilized man.
To those who had no imagination
the vision of this continent did not
appeal And to those who had no
284 years later the vision
Of new republic that offered home
to the people Of all nations did not
appeal.
Now comes the president OF the tiny
Republic OF Panama and suggests
not sensationally, but modestly and
onservatively-that in the years to
come there may be a union Of North.
Central and South America into one
great republic.

THE GOVERNORS ORGAN HOSTS ITSELF UPON
ITS OWN PETARD.


Several days since the Herald S
Nashville correspondent wired news
item from that city, stating that Gov.
ernOr Patterson had drawn in one
warrant and at one time, $500 "for
the maintenance of the Governors
mansion
In the same issue OF the Herald in
which this news item appeared, the
Herald editorially criticised the Cover.
nor for this unprecedented act; call.
ing upon the treasury of the State,
before any expenses had accrued for
1.-The maintenance of the mansion" for
the full amount of the entire appro
priation made by the legislature for
the whole year. Our criticism was
that the Legislature intended that this
money should be Lsed as needed, and
only so much as was needed, for the
maintenance of the Governors mans
ion," and that it was unprecedented
and unworthy the chief executive of
a great state to grab the sum all at
once and use it for his private and
personal expenses.
The Nashville American promptly
denounced the publication as false; &C.
cusing not only our Nashville cor
respondent of sending out a false
statement, but the Herald of being
unwilling to tell the truth about the
Governor"
Now let us see what is the issue
of veracity between the American
and the Herald. Boiled down it is
this-the Herald declared that the
Governor had drawn $500, the whole
Of the annual appropriation for main
tenance of the governors mansion"
in one lump sum. The American
charged the Herald with "manufactur- |
ing falsehood' and stated the facts |
as follows:
EDITORIAL, AUG. 1, 1907.
"The Legislature appropriated $685.
300 to buy and furnish a Gubernatorial
mansion. The house purchased cost
S31, 500, leaving $500 to be expend-
ed for furnishings. Because Gov. Pat
ierson drew this latter amount as au-
,horized and as was contemplated for
he purpose for which it was appro-
)riated, it has been published that he
rev in a lump sum the $4,000 appro-
lriated for the annual maintenance
If the mansion. The amounts are the
anne, but they were for different pur-
POSES. OF course, the distorted pub
ication was made by ninnyhammer
heet that would not tell the truth
bout the Governor If it could posi-
'ly manufacture a falsehood."
Yet on the 25th day of July, this
cry same American published in its
wn columns the following statement:
