Mr.. Cliffe is a son of DR. D. b. Cliffe
for years one of the leading repubh-
cans of Tennessee. DR.. CIiffe was
chairman of the republican State Com
mittee in 1896 when the most desperate
attempt ever made by the republicans
to wrest Tennessee from the demo
cratic column was made. Iu that cam
paign it is said that the republicans
distributed not less than 100000 of
campaign funds in this state. With
this fund and the aid of large ma
jority OF the banks and practically all
OF the corporate interests, including
the railroads, the fact that the repub
leans were defeated and the democrats
polled the largest vote in the history
of the state has been matter Of won

Governor Will Rest.

Governor Patterson has announced
that he viii leave Nashville some time
during August, and take his vacation.
Since the governor went in Office he has
very assiduously devoted himself to
his duties, which have been extraordi-
narily heavy on account Of many i'm
portant meters which he has been ar
ranging. His long spell of hard work
together with the great strenuosity at
tached to the campaign last year, has
kept the governor very busily engaged
and no rest has been given him.
Although the governor is enjoying
fine health, he has decided to spend a
few weeks at rest. He has not decided
where he Wal go, but it is probable
that some OF his vacation will be spent
at home with friends and relatives and
at some watering place. American.

Bosom of the COurt.

Over at Dresden the other day Judge
Joseph Z. Jones granted divorce to a
young woman who had been deserted
by her husband. Within an hour she
married again; became wife to man
who had paid the expenses OF the di-
vorce proceedings. Judge Jones be-
came incensed, sent for the couple,
lectured them severely, and changed
the decree so as to give her divorce
from bed and board merely, thereby
annulling the second marriage, and
sending the couple forth occupying
very anomalous and peculiar situation
in the eyes of the world. This he did
in the interest of public morals, and be-
cause the decree of divorce sis in the
bosom of the court" till the court ad-
iourns.
That is certainly very remarkable
and romantic proceeding all around.
The evidence adduced satisfied the
Judge that the women was entitled to
the separation and relief which the
laws provide under such circumstances
Having been accorded this, she was as
free to marry an hour afterward as she
would have been year hence. Taking
somewhat hasty advantage OF the stu
ation in no wise changed the merits OF
the case which had been decided. Mar
rying again, aa she had perfectly le.
gal and moral right to do, the Judge, il
would seem, in.erferes with relation
that in no way involved him. He may
not have approved Of her conduct in
entering upon the second marriage &c
hastily. Probably she did not ask his
approval and cared nothing about it.

Yesterday the state reformatory board
met and organised with the following

started on their trips of inspection to
the various places of state land in Da-
vidsodn county by visit to the Her.
mitage and the Old Soldiers Home.
They will visit the penitentiary Satur-
day and the other tracts of state land
later.
One Of the provisions of the act es-
tablishing the reformatory was that it
should be erected on state land in Da-
wilson couhty. 1t is the intention of
the board to thoroughly look over the
situation before deciding on the SITE
Yesterday the trustees went ever the

where they were received by Capt.

gentlemen were very anxious that the

the home and strongly emphasized the
good points of the location.
A member of the board last declared
that they we're going to make the re-
formatory a success. We've got to, f"

Attiude of Temperance People at Bristol
Toward Ex-Governor.

Bristol, Tenn, July %. The atti-
tude of the temperance people toward |
former Governor Cox is a matter of
much speculation in local political cir
cles. They are avowedly opposed to
Representative Parks Morley, whom
the whisky people of Bristol thank for
lease of life until Nov. /, instead of
May 1, the date proposed by the tenn
perance leaders
As a member of the senate Cox was
bitterly against the anti-jug bill, which
was temperance measure of second
importance only to the Pendeton bill,
and which the advocates of prohibi-
ton all over the state were clamoring
for. Evidence of the demand for this
measure has been furnished since the
adjournment of the legislature, by the
passage in no less than a dozen towns
in the state Of anti-jug laws.
Cox also sought to have the proposed
, pendleton law amended, it is believed
by many temperance people, for tn
r purpose of rendering it multifariou
! and consequently unconstitutional
Al He was eager for the incoration of 10
=. cal option clause in the bill. As tn
e.. Adams law OF which the Pendleton lay
is an extension, is the opposite to locf
option, many of the best lawyers in tn

He has determined that they shall be

The governor, who has been inspect

has instructed the prison officials to
prepare for him list of all the men
now confined in the penitentiary who
are without friends or money. He
says:
