j. Newt Scale, Manager Of the
Northern and Eastern Districts Of
the Southern Railway, was stricken
with appoplexy at Salisbury, N.
c., Saturday night, Nov. 8, and
died Monday at the George Wash
ington Hospital in Washington
City, pneumonia having superven-
ed. The dispatches state that Mrs.
Scale was at the bedside of her
husband. They had no children.
Newt Scale was born at OkOlona,
Miss, forty-six years ago and en-
tered the railway service at an
early age. He advanced rapidly
in bis work and filed posts at Mo
bile and jackson. Finally be was
transferred to the Southern with a
promotion, and one succeeded
another until he was given the po-
sition of Manager of the Northern
and Eastern Division of the South
ern Railway. He was next in po-
sition to Third Vice President
Ackert and his prospects for fur
Their perferment were fiattering.
He was genius in his line. Mr..
Scale was very warm hearted in
his asso ciati ons and his
friends were nu m bered by
hundreds. Especially was he at
tached to the boys in the railroad
service. One of his lifelong per-
sonal friends was j. G. Reynolds
of this city, whom he regarded
with the same attachment as al
brother. Another was j. r.
Rogers, who is often in this city.
Mr.. Scales remains were ship
ped to jackson for burial, which
was announced to take place
Thursday.

One Of our readers is anxious
that we 90 on record IN regard to
a Gubernatorial primary election.
We have always stood for primary
elections without single excep-
ton. The burlesque which held
high sway all over the State in the
Cox-Patterson campaign was
enough to disgust a semirespecta-
BILE citizen, let alone the man who
had the proper sense of right. The
primary held for the purpose of
.ascertaining the choice of the vot-
ers for United States Senator was
as near fair as possible, barring
Shelby County. There the thug
and thief element prevailed. No
evidence was needed. The vote
told its own tale. Carmack had a
plurality Of 5000. We are sure
Carmack was not pleased with the
vote, though he never mentioned
it. Now the people of Memphis
have risen in arms against the
practice, and it is practically as
sured that we are to have no more
fraud in the Memphis ballot.
A primary by all means. Any
close reader of the paper knows
that we have always advocated a
primary, and always will advocate
honest elections.

/ Then shall we forsake the party
because it has not nominated /
Democrat who suits our peculiar
fancies, or who has not always
been with us in the ante-conven,
ton campaigns. In other words,
do you want to throw either Pat.
terson or Carmack over for Evans
and disband the South, the bull
wark of our national character.
Not we-not to sustain the noto-
riety of a few mountebanks who
would betray the party.
We have not forgotten the little
episode which happened over the
way at the Beulah Baptist Associ-
alton. A resolution was railroad
ed through at an hour when few
only were present and scarcely
any took notice of the event. This
resolution put the association a
unanimously opposed to Patterson
as the Democratic nominee more
than a year ago. Who was there
to play this little political games
The same good DR.. Folk. And
the Anti Saloon League refused to
own it, and the members of the
association condemned it.
Who has used all his wits and
strength to shake the foundations
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, society of believers who
were living at peace with God and
man, with no ambition at political
or ecclesiastical power, worshiping
God according to their own con-
sciencesg The same good DR.. Lam
drith.

ratio party, which it has done ma
iciously and continuously for years
md that even after the Democratic

Brother Baird had nothing to d,
with the editorial that set hin
awry, neither has Brother Bairs
anything to do with this one.
The Carroll County Democrat
may also sit up and take notice.
To start with. the Democratic
party is responsible for every
temperance law-we mean the alb
clifton of saloons-Tennessee ever
had. That is exactly what made
us say what we did. Folk and
Landrith said they would not sup
port, the Democratic nominee if
the Democratic convention did
not put up a temperance man.
What is the inference2 A grudge,
and it is not hard to locate. There
are only two candidates for Gov
ernor, and there are no visible
signs of any more. Everybody
understands that Patterson is a
candidate, it makes no difference
whether he has made formal an
nouncement or not.
Carmack suddenly became an
enthusiastic Prohibitionist few
years ago. One is about as sin
cere as the other in his personal
relations to Prohibition. They
are both Democrats and both anx-
ious to serve the party with Pro-
hibition platform. Neither wants
to surrender his Democracy and
become a party Prohibitionist.
Then who is it that is not wanted
Patterson has signed every bill for
repeal of charters under the Adams
aw which was presented by ma
ority.
The people of LaFollette by an
inmistakable majority said they |
lid not want the Adams law. The
legislature passed the bill and
Patterson vetoed it. Carmack is
Democrat and he would have
lone the same thing. Any Dem
'crat would hesitate to do other
wise. "Who has done more for
he State during the last few
earsg" is q pertinent inquiry, but
Vhen the answer comes there

 Washington. April 13A-Attorney Martin H. Vogel of counsel for the Tennessee Copper Company and other smeltiug companies located at Duck town, Tenn, in the original case of the State of Georgia against those com panies which Is expected to De soon decided by the Supreme Court or the United States, has filed brief Tn which he denies the right of the State to hiring the suit and also declares broadly that no appreciable injury has been done.
 The suit was instituted to obtain an injunction restraining the companies from carrying on their operations be- cause of the injury alleged to have been done to surrounding vegetation across the Georgia line. The case has attracted much attention, as It IS con- tended that the decision will have direct bearing on the srnelting of cop per all over the United States. Refer ring to the effect of an adverse decision on the community, Mir. Vogel says the country Is naturally sterile and deso- late, and adds:
 Tt is shown that the people, realiz- ing the advantage of the high prices prevailing in the Ducktown district, have abandoned their farming lands or have given up their meagre agricultu- ral pursuits and have moved themselves and their families into the Ducktown mining district.
 "The payroll of these defendants Is shown to be approximately s1,000, 900 per annum, all of which inures to the benefit of the immediate neighborhood. The proof shows that the supplies pur- chased by these mining companies ex- ceed $1,00o, 900 per annum, that these supplies consist of wood timber, vari- ous products of the immediate country, and fuel, such as coal and coke which comes from the coal-mining regions nearby"
