the rapid growth of this institution
DR.. Boyd has been out of The Office for
more than six weeks All of his time
has been given to the personal man

There will be a big celebration in
Nashville to commemorate the aunive
Sary of the Emancipation Proclama-
tion issued by Abraham Lincoln. This
celebration will be held at Mount Ol.

being made to have very large meet.
ing. In fact, efforts are on foot to
have one general celebration, such as
Nashville has not enjoyed for many
wears. Some of the oldest citizens do
not remember many occasions when
the citizens have wholly observed one
General celebration. This movement
II carried out, will help to make the
day more generally observed. AS to
whether a program will be rendered
both by day and night has not been de.
cided upon. Of course it is the Gus.
tom for schools to have their special
exercises, but the chapels of the
schools are never large enough to &C.
commodate citizens on special occa.
sions. The churches selected for the
citizens program are not sufficiently
large to accommodate more than the
regular membership. In many cities
where the celebrations Of emancipa-
lions are held large crowds number
'ng up into the thousands assemble
and listen to speeches by distinguished
men Of the race. Nashville will no
1oubt soon join this number The peo-
Dle of Nashville will look forward to a
Hreditable celebration regardless Of
where it is held.

Presented at Meeting In Nash
vile Attended By Represen-
tative Men and Address Is
Csued to National Democratic
Party, Setting Forth Their
Belief.
NONE SINCE JAMES X. POLK

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. ia
state convention of Tennessee Dem
ocrats was held at the state capitol
In this city to further a movement
recently started In this state TO nom
mate a southern Demo rat for presl-
dent In 1908. Although the conven-
tloD was not largely attended those
participating were representative
men. EX-Goy. James ID. Porter was
chairman Of the convention.
An address was Issued setting
forth the fact that the Democrats
party had It's birth In the south and
that the greatest successes the party
has achieved was under southern
leadership; that since James X. Polk
was nominated In lS44 no southern
man has been nominated for the frat
place on the presidential ticket. The
address says:
The conditions hat made candi-
dates from the east available no
longer obtain and leading Democrats
of that section have expressed them
selves as favorable 10 the nomination
OF a southern man. We believe the
time is ripe for such action"
The address says the south Is no
outlying province" and that the
nomination OF a southern man would
more than anything else, emphasize
the unity OF the nation. II Is set
forth that the spirit which actuates
those behind the movement is entire
~ national; that the Democracy OF
the south is free from the domination
OF corporate interests and predatory
wealth. At the same time. the south
has always been regarded as the bull
wark OF Conservatism. and Demo
cratic victory under southern leader
ship would mean the restoration OF
the government 10 those principles
which were laid down by the found
ers OF the republic"
A resolution was passed pledging
the delegates to the convention to
work for the selection OF delegation
from Tennessee next year which VIII
vote in favor Of a southern man for
president.
A conference committee was named

cratic leaders OF other southern
states and make the movement gen
eral.

Widow Wins $4,000 Life Insu-
rance Case in Circuit Court
This Morning Under Ruling
of Judge Reed.
Interesting Points Raised in
Regard to Contract When
Third Payment Had Not
Been Made.

Mrs. Belle A. O'Brien was given a
Judgment in circuit court this morn
ing against the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance company of Newark, y. j.,
for $1,000 and interest at per cent
from April 5. 1907, due on the policy
held by her husband, Pat O'Brien.
The case presented many interesting
points and was closely contested by
both sides. O'Brien had paid two
annual premiums on the policy but
had allowed the third premium to go
unpaid at death. The court held
that the reserve value under the
terms of the policy was sufficient to-
have extended the insurance until af-
ter the death of O'Brien, although
there were two 20 per cent premium
loans against the policy and the first
years dividend, due OBrien had
been applied towards reducing the
premium loans. The second years
dividend had not been applied by the
company in reducing the loans and
the court held that the time of the
policy was extended.
Judge w. o. Head, of Louisville,
assisted Wheeler, Hughes G. Berry in
the defense of the company. while
Judge d. G.. Park and Arthur Martin
represented Mrs. OBrien.

Speculation as to how travelling
