UP TO GOVERNOR
MT. PLEASANT BILL GOES OVER
TILL AFTER RECESS.
Editorial Correspondence:

Editorial Correspondence:
NASHVILLE. Tenn. February 10
The bill to repeal the charter of Co
lumbia passed its third and final read
ing in the House this morning, and a
motion to reconsider went to the Ia
BILE. The bill is now up to the Gov
ernor, and he viii sign 1t. 1t may not
reach him today, however.
The Mt. Pleasant bill was avorably
reported by the House Committee
Thursday night after brief discus
sion, Major Whitthorne and Chatta-
nooga brewer spoke against the bill.
Prof. ]. A. Bostick spoke in its favor.
The Mt. Pleasant bill is further
down on the calendar and will not like
~ be reached, there being other impor-
tant measures before 1t, the discussion
of which will perhaps consume the en-
tire day.

TRULY. WHAT NEXT

The remarkable announcement is
made that being offered choice be-
tween John Sharp Williams and James
TX vardeman as its representative In
the United States Senate, the State of
Mississippi is about to choose the lat
ter. or at any rate the latter has the
better chance. This suggests as a
pertinent question what will the peo-
ple of some of the Southern States do
next?
Arkansas has retired a highly re-
spectacle and capable member OF the
Senate in favor of a coarse-grained
mouthy demagogue named Jeffries Da-
Wis. who unhappily is called JEFF" and
thus an honored Southern name of for
mer times is brought forward In a
cheap connection. Tennessee has
chosen Ex-Governor Bob" Taylor, an
amiable and cultured gentleman and
pleasing musician, but an unknown
quantity as a statesman, to succeed
Carmack, a man of great abilities. who
has created an impression so profound
that the Washington Post said OF him
a few days ago, lamenting his mex
plicable retirement:
He would have been an ornament
to British Parliament that knew
Burke and Fox and Pitt. He would
have been distinguished in American
Senates that contained Clay and Cal
houn and Webster.
Where Is the man who does not re-
spect him? Where Is the man who
does not admire him? All the wealth
OF either Indiee would not buy for the
base his lofty character, his unblem-
ished honor. He retires from the Sen
ate regretted by all his fellow-Sena-
tors. He Ia for time, at least, lost
to the public service In an official ca
pacity. but no such man as he can
live. whether in public station or pri-
vate walk, a single day In vain. That
brilliant intellect, that exalted char
acter. those splendid accomplishments
will And a way to do the work set be-
fore giants.

DIDN'T HAVE IT.

A representative OF the News heard
dialogue Friday evening in which q
Fayetteville druggist and a strange
man were the actors. The young
man started the dialogue with this
question: Can l get some whisky
here?" mo, no." was the druggists
reply, I'VE haven't had any whisky
here In a long time, except some
strong stuff for camphor," and then he
looked at the young man and then
at himself as II to see whether or not
he resembled a bar keeper. Il have
a sick friend at the hotel" said the
young man, "and the doctor said
little whisky would help him." THE
doctor will have to prescribe some
thing else" replied the druggist. DO
you think could find any whisky any
where In town." was the question put
to the druggist. you might get some
tough around here to get you some
stuff, but 1t would make a we'll man
sick and It might kill a sick man."
was the pill-roller's reply to the ques-
ton, and the young man went away

PREACHERS AND POLITICS.

Or. Geo. B. Winton, writing to the
Nashville American, says:
For one am getting tired of these
filings at preachers in politics. A
man does not give up his manhood or
his citizenship in becoming minis
ter The word minister means SER
want. A preacher is a man who seeks
to serve God by serving men. If there
are evils that he can help to do away
with by taking part in the public af-
fairs of his country. who would re-
fuse him that right? These gentlemen
who would not allow him to do any
thing but preach are precisely the ones
who will not go TO hear him preach.
In that way they hope to make him
count for nothing. Meantime the sa-
looms are In politics for all they are
worth. The brewer and the distlllers
and the barkeeper sit up nights with
politics and politicians. Why is not
some complaint made of this? II. the
ministers of the devil are to be so &C
tive, are the ministers Of God to be
asleep?
II have only been citizen of Tonnes
see for a short time. / have not been
before any Legislative committee. /
have not spent any time about the
Capitol during this Legislative session.
But I wish 1t distinctly understood
that I reserve the right to do things
whenever l choose and see at. When
the preachers are in politics they are
always on the right side-the side OF
decency and morality and temperance.
The plea that there will still be drink
ing when there are laws against sa-
looms is simply silly. AS one Of the
critics In the American
shows beautiful logic 1t was) the laws
against murder and theft do not pre-
vent those crimes. Nobody suggests
those laws, however
1.-THE preachers are in this night
against the open saloon and gambling
and they are in 1t to stay. And when
we get through with the doggeries
where beer and whiskey are retailed
to negroes and boys and buns, we are
going after the distilleries and the
Is that plain enough? And
the man that raises word about
preachers in politics is doing 1t for
he benefit of his friends, the liquor
makers and the liquor sellers, and his
,ther friends, the tin horn gamblers.
He may not mean II for that, but who
alse is harmed by the political activi- |
" of good men,"

EMPHATIC IN
HIS CRITICISM
MR.. PADGETT SAYS THE WAR
CLAIMS ARE NOT GIVEN DUE
CONSIDERATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-During
the general debate yesterday on the
postoffice appropriation bill Represen-
tative Padgett (Tenn.) became en-
phatic in criticism Of the manner in
which legislation is accomplished and
the treatment accorded the business
of the Committee ON War Claims. He
served notice on the House that II
war claims were not treated with the
same courtesy accorded other mat
tiers that Jordan will be rocky road
to travel in the next House." and he
would see to it that legislation was
enacted according to rule.
General debate on the bill termin-
ated at o'clock yesterday afternoon
and the reading of the bill was begun
under the FIVE minutes rule. The bin
was not completed.
In the course of discussion OF the
salaries provided by the bill Mr.. Fin
lay IS. CD took occasion to express
the opinion that mails should not be
carried on the Sabbath day. He
thought that II the government would
shut off such transportation, the
American people would endorse its
action.

STATE INSURANCE.

Tennessee is going to need more
revenue to meet the increase In APP
propriations. Where is It to come
from?
Millions of good dollars are sent
out of the State every year to enrlch
the insurance corporations and com
paratively little of 1t returns. with
the State carrying the insurance OF It's
citizens at rates in effect at present,
this money would remain at home to
nav the expense of the state govern
mont or to retire the state debt. why
should the people of Tennessee donate
millions to the insurance companies
particularly when the money Is need
ed at home? BY such an arrange
mont there would be no increase In
taxes there could be some reduction
IN insurance premiums and the state
would have ample revenue for all re-
quirements.
While the proposition is somewhat
new and novel, nevertheless 1t de-
serves the earnest and thoughtful con-
sideration of our legislators and the
people OF the state,--1incoln County
News.

Santa Fe to Build to Burro.

Silver City, Nov. A Santa
Fe official in Silver City during
the past few days stated that
the Santa Fe had not given up
the idea of constructing a branch
line from about four miles this
side of Whitewater, to the Burro
Mountain mining district.
He said that the company
would commence active work on
the construction of this branch
at once.
On account of the natural road
bed which extends from the Sill
yer City branch, just this side of
Whitewater, it will cost the San
ia Fe a very small sum to grade
the road compared with the ex-
pense of constructing the road if
it were run from Silver City to
the Burro district.

Falls on Red Hot Stove.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Nov. 8. The
three-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. N. Grain, of this
city, will likely died as the result
Of burns received on a hot stove
at the Grain home. The mother
was bathing the little girl and
the room being cold, placed the
bathtub with the child in it on
the shelf of the kitchen stove.
The mother turned for a minute
TO get a towel, leaving the child
in the tub, and the baby in some
manner fell out of the tub on to
the hot stove. She was terribly
burned before her mother could
rescue her.
