There is only one county In which
there is contest that the Brownlow-

Campbell county. There are two fac.
tions contending for the organization
in Campbell, the Jacksboro faction and
the La Toilette faction. The La Fol
lette faction is led by Harvey NJ. La.
Toilette and postmaster j. Will Tay-
ior, an appointee of Congressman Hale
while the Jacksboro faction is headed
by Winston Baird, Capt. NJ. H. Hol'
lingsworth and W. II. Peters. The
La Toilette faction has all advantage
and will be recognized as regular by
the state committee. 1t is understood
that La Toilette and Hale will combine
which will give Congressman Hale the
solid backing of the Second district on
all questions. Chattanooga News.

Row Over Fences,

Ramer, Tenn, May 25.-Much con-
fusion exists here over the no-fence
law, indictments having been refused
against persons for allowing their stock
to run at large, under court instruc-
tions that the law is unconstitutional.
The case probably will be carried to
the supreme court.
The no-fence law provides that stock
shall be confined and that no fences
about cultivated fields shall be main
tanned, passed the last legislature, ap-
plying to this county, and went into
effect April 10.
Many who favored the law removed
the fences about the fields and strength
ened their pasture enclosures.
Some, opposed to the law, refused to
confine their stock and cattle running
at large caused much damage to~the
crops of those who had taken down
their field fences in compliance with
the law.
On several occasions, the lawless ell.
ement showed its disapproval of the
law by cutting ferces about pastures.
With the refusal of the court to in.
dict for allowing stock to run at large,
the law becomes invalid in practice and
those who have taken down the fences
protecting their fields are in fair way
to spend more money to replace them
in order to save their crops.

Birmingham Gets Next Reunion.

RICHMOND, June 1.-The next
grand reunion of Confederate veterans
will be held in Birmingham, Ala.
Nashville, despite gallant fight on
the part of the delegates from that city.
lost in the fight to secure the reunion
for Nashville.
Three cities were named when the
nominations were placed before the
convention.
Birmingham, Nashville and San
Antonio were all placed in nomination,
but from the start Nashville failed to
be factor. in the race. The contest
was between San Antonio and Birm-
lugham, and Gen. Gordon cast his
vote for the latter city.
Mobile put in an application for the
1910 convention, aud the idea that the
Richmond gathering would be the Las
was exploded.
Col. John W. Apperson of Memphis
summarily elected commander in chic
of the Sons of Veterans, and Claren ce
J. Owen of Alabama was made com
mander of the Army of Tennessee de

The resolution to dispense with spon
sor and maids hereafter was tabled an(

CHATTANOOGA DEMOCRATS "R0AST

Much Heralded Faidley-Frawley Dinner
Resolves Itself Into Boost for Sen
atOr Carmack for Governor.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June THE
much -heralded Fraidley. .Frawley din
ner to the members of the city and the
county democrats executive committees
which was held here this afternoon,
resoved itself, from all appearance, in.
to an anti Patterson prolitical gather
ing. Probably 150 democrats of Chat
tanooga and Hamilton county gather
ed around the board, and it was a
''roast" from beginning to end for
Tennessee's present chef executive.
The dinner was scheduled to take
place for the purpose of healing old
''sores. Whether this was accomplish
ed remrins to be seen.
Messrs. Frawley and Fraidley had
the Endorsement of toe city and the
county committees for election commits
sioners Gov. Patterson, it is said,
smashed this slate by having appointed
W. B. Rayster, formerly of Memphis
and A. j. Glenn, a member of the city
council
The dinner started off this afternoon
with a selection by quartette entitled
"Mr. Patterson, Shame on You" sung
to the tune of ''Mr. Johnson, Shome on
You. T. p, Mcmahon, said to be the
representative in East Tennessee of the
Washes of Memphis, then introduced
u resolution asking Senator Carmack
to become candidate for governor. II
was passed with one man voting IN the
negative That was Henry Peck Ferry.
Mr.. Mcmahon announced the passage
of the resolution, adding that he was
glad that Gov. Patterson had one vote
in the assemblage Every mention o.
the name of Senator Carmack brought
forth applause. At the plate of every
guest was laid alemon. This no doub
referred to the non-appointment o.
Messrs Frawley and Fraidley as demo
Gratis members of the county election
commission.
After the dinner W. B. Royster, ont
of the recently-appointed election com
missioners, was seen. Mr.. Royster il
/ to be the chairman of the Hamilton
, county election board. He was reared
, with Gov. Patterson and had this I,

Origin Os the Ozark Horse.

The term dark "dark horse" is such
a familiar one, even to persones who
do not frequent horse races, that few
stop to wonder at its origin, and fewer
still know anything at all about the
circumstances to which it owes Its cre-
alton. It's origin is due to Lord B ca
consfeld who uses the phrase in
''rhe Young Duke" In this novel he
speaks of dark horse which had never
been thought of and which few had so
much as observed. The dark horse,
however, rushed past the grand stand
to victory. This dark horse was actual
ly one of dark color, but to-day the
color is no longer taken into account
A dark horse may be anything, 81 long
as he sweeps from the ranks Of th un-
no,iced to the glory of the winning
post.

Shiflett Given OnOther Term.

Governor Patterson returned from
Memphis yesterday morning and short
ly after reaching his Office announced
the reappointment of r. A. Shifett as
chief mine inspector of the state. This
is Mr.. Shiflett's third term, he having
first been appointed by Governor Nc
Millin in 1899, and was reappointed by
Governor Frazier in 1903. He has serv-
ed the state longer in this position than
any of his predecessors, and is recog-
nized as one of the best officers the
state ever had.
There was probably never a candi-
didate for office in Tennessee who was
mole generally or strongly endorsed
than Mr.. Shiflett. The present mine
inspection laws, recognized as equal to
the best of any state in the U nion, and
under which the percentage OF deaths
due to accidents in Tennessee mines
has been reduced to the smallest in the
Onion, is practically the work Of Mr..
Shiflett.
1t is altogether probable that Mr..
Shiflett will resppoint Messrs. Upton
and Stone as district mine inspectors.
He will not announce the appointment
of the additional district inspector cre-
ated by the last legislature or his chief
clerk for some days. It is said to be
altogether likely that there will be a
change in the chief clerks Office

TO RAISE ASSEMENT OF RAILROAD
PROPERTY
Facts Developed by Commission Will Re-
suit in ON Increase of Taxable Valu-
atiOn-At Memphis

There is little doubt that the Ten
nessee Railroad Commission will make
some very radical raises in the valua-
tion of the localized properties of the
railroads and particularly those in
East Tennessee where the commission
has spent the past week taking testi-
mony as to valuations of localized pro-
perty. 1t is understood that the testi-
mony in nearly every every instance
demonstrated almost conclusiveiy that
the valuations placed by the railroads
on this class of property was too low.
In some cases after the hearing of
proof the railroads admitted that their
valuations did not conform to the facts
and agreed that they would not oppose
reduction. The commission has
been taking proof in Knoxville and
Chattanooga during the past week and
at both places there will be increases
in the valuation of the local property
During the week members of the
commission also inspected the road
beds and d~depot and terminal facilities
of the railroads in East Tennessee and
tits more than probable that the val
uations of the railroad milage will be
very substantially increased, The COM
mission also got facts which will result
in the improvement of existing depots
or in the erection of new ones. Under
power conferred by the last legislature
the commission has full authority in
matters of thes kind.
Members of the commission will
leave tonight for Memphis where proof
will be taken as to the value OF local
lied property. The commission will
then visit Jackson for the same pur-
pose. Proof of the value of the street
railways at both of-these places will be
taken. Nashville Tennssean.

No More Special Delivery Stamps.

There will be no more special deliv-
cry stamps issued by the United States
after July1. 1t will only be necessary
to put on ten cents worth of stamps in
addition to the regular postage, then
mark the letter or package with the
words especial delivery" and 1t will
be treated as a special delivery letter.
This is because of the inconvenience
to which many people are put to keep
special delivery stamps on hand. They
may need them at any moment or
there may never be any use for them,
I'm >st everyone keeps a supply OF
stamps which will now serve special
delivery purposes.

John Thompson is Commissioner.


In the presence of the governor and
seveeal state officials, John Thompson,
of Davidson county, yesterday took
the oath of office as commissioner of
agriculture, succeeding W. W. Ogilvie
of Marshall county. The oath was ad-
ministered to Mr.. Thompson by Judge
John W. Ohildress. W. H. Dunn, OF
Gallatin, who succeeds R. H. Kittrell
as state live stock commissioner, also
took the oath of office, and W. T. NJ or
ris, the new chief cleIk, entered upon
the discharge of the duties of his posi-
tion.
r. Fl. Kercheval, who has been the
efficient chief clerk during the past
four years will remain with Mr.. Thomp-
son for some time in order that the new
force may be made thoroughly ac'
quainted with the details of the off ce.
The other appointments under the
commissioner have rot been made and
may not be for some time, the incum
bents holding over for the present.
Mr.. Thompson is eminently qualified
for the duties of head of the agricultur
oil department, being practical and
successful farmer. He has always ia
ken the liveliest interest in the devel-
opment Of the states agricultural re
sources, having been for some time
president of the Middle Tennes see
Farmers Institute. He served foul
terms as a senator from this county, il
1897 being speaker of the house,

GOOD WARDENS
Farmers and Landowners Should Assist in
Finding RuCh Men.


Following is an extract from the
speech of Col. Joseph H. Acklen, State
y arden, to the Farmers Convention
held at Knoxille, Thursday, May %,
1907:
"rhe people of the state and the
farmers and landowners particularly
are to be congratulated that the last
legislature wiped from the statute
books all local laws for the protection
of game and fish, and extended the
warden and license system to the whole
state. We have now good general
law for the protection of our game and
fish applicable to every county in Ten
nessee, but however good law may be,
it will remain practically dead letter
unless back ID up by public sentiment.
To pass a law is one thing, to enforce
it is quite another. Now the enforce
ment of the game, fish and forestry
laws is in the hands of the wardens.
1t is. therefore, of the very greatest
importance that these wardens should
be competent, reliable and energetic
men, and furthermore, men who will
exercise discretion in fulfilling their
dutiee. There should be warden in
each civil district of the state The
people who are most interested in the
game and fish laws are the farmers and
landowners, but if they sit still and dc
not take even the trouble to recon-
mend good men for appointment il
their respective counties and districts
how can they expect to have theil
property protected? At very little
trouble a few farmers can meet anC
pick out good men for wardens, ge
their consent to serve aud send in then
uames to the department for appoint
meut. As State Warden, my policy i
to give preference in every instance t.

landowners.
"rhe terms of office of all the ward
