FOLKS PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
Opened at Folk Banquet at Nash
ville-Folk Makes Strong
Speech on Campaign Issues

Nashville, Term, Sept. 23-At a
banquet given here tonight by the
Folk Club in honor OF JOS w. Folk,
the prominent trust-buster, a boom
was launched for him for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination. The
boom launched by his friends was
heralded with unaninmouos and pro-
longed applause by all present.
Mr.. Folk replied to the announce
ment by saying that he in no way
considered himself a presidential
possibility. The presidential bee
is not buzzing in my bonnet so far
as I have been able to determine my
self" said he. But despite this de-
dial, the boom was successfully
launched III the presence OF eminent
gathering of public men rom all over
the state, among whom was Cover
nor Patterson, who hit lately went
on record as favoring Bryan for the
nomination.
In a stong and forciblc speech be-
for the club Folk presented the is
sues TO be fought in the coming
campaign, and made tariff reform the
paramount issue. He discussed the
question in all its phases and LETT
no room for argument His speech
IS regarded as the strongest made on
rho question since Cleveland's famous
taft message during his first term.
los w Folk has ycry strong fol-
loving throughout the country and
the result OF his boom will have an
important effect on naming can
didate for the presidetial nomination.

Unusual Burglary Case.

Jackson. Miss, Sept. 24.-The po-
lice department is working today on
a case where a woman is thought to
have entered the house of Mrs. Ru-
ltlsh on President street just oppo-
site the city hall and stole something
like $40 from Mr.. Jas. Buckles, who
has rooms in the house. and some
other articles from other roomers.
The things were missed this morning
and an investigation satrted. 1t was
found that a womans tracks could
be traced to the window where the
entrance was evidently affected which
is on the second floor. and further
evidence that the thief was a woman
has been developed. Up to this time
no arrest has been made, but the
police are armed with a search war
rant and think they are on the right
trackto locate the thief.

To Keep Memory Green.

At the opening of the Greenville
1lblic schools there was presented
to the children a Confederate bat
tie flag" a flag silently and revercnt-
ly unfurled before young eyes that
knew it before but as a mythe and
tradition. BY this means, Taylor
Rucks Chapter, Daughters OF the
Confederacy, hope ever to keep be-
fore these children a standard as
pure and aspirations as sacred as
their fathers fought for. Earlier in
the year the flag had been pre-
scented by proxy as the one we
wanted was not in hand. and we
waited until the fall opening OF the
school before formally presenting
the real flag. This symbol, we believe
will keep green the memory only. OF
what was noblest and best and bury
what remains OF bitterness and strife.
All that the old banner implies Is.
that right. justice and truth live, that
there IS something that succeeds
more than success, and that the
crown that lives through the ages is
the Grown OF thorns'

west thousands and thousands OF dol

factor of the exposition is to show
the farmers that they gain nothing

it at least, and then pay exhOrb1tant
prices for feed stuff that they could

A BIT OF HISTORY
Legislation That Fixed the State

of government by virtue of the con-
stiudtion OF 1882
The constitution OF 1869 repeale i
and annulled that Of 1892 and con-
tanned no provision for the seat Of
government
The result was that the state had
no legally designated seat OF govren-
ment until a section of the Code of
1880 declared Jackson the seat of gov

the legislature at any session TO
change it.
When the constitution of 1850 had

Both Messrs. Phillips and Bed

a negro jumped and was shot by

resulted in the information that one

better than ever before. The Atlanta
