TOO MUCH HASTE
AFTER GOOD THING
THAT'S WHAT CASHIER PARKER
THINKS SINCE HIS oVERCoAT
HAS DISAPPEARED.

With the approach of cold weather
it is natural that overcoats should be
taken from the camphor balls and that
those who do not own overcoats
should make haste to secure one. But
this matter of haste can be pushed
too far in the opinion Of c. A. Parker.
Mr.. Parker's overcoat was left on the
back porch Friday and while no one
was looking some cold-natured person
came by and annexed it. The wealth
err is right cold today too.

TILLMAH SPEAKS
BETWEEN TRAINS
LARGE CROWD HEARS THE RE.
PUBLICAN NOMINEE 1T
THE STATION.
PLEADS FOR OBSERVANCE OF LAW
Makes an Eloquent Appeal For Reform
of the Election Machinery
Of State.

To crowd Of 500 or 400 people,
about half of whom were Democrats,
Hon. George n Tillman, Republican
nominee for Governor Tuesday
spoke briefly between trains at the
station. Mr. Tillman confined his re-
marks altogether to a discussion of
lawlessness and to the necessity for a
reform Of the election laws of the
State. lie was given the closest at
tention during the thirty minutes that
he spoke, but there was very little
enthusiasm manifested, although it
was plain that those present were
with him in his views upon the ques-
tons that were discussed.
Mr.. Tillman came in on the $40
train from Nashville and remained
until the train left for Lawrenceburg.
He was met at the train by commit
tee of Republicans headed by Col A.
NJ Hughes, John w. Jackson, R. s.
and H. F. Fariss. He was at
once escorted to a platform at the
West end of the station where he was
by Col Hughes as the
next Governor of Tennessee"
Mr.. Tillman began his remarks by
reading extracts from the Nashville
American from the seat of the troub-
es in Obion county. He said that the
lppermost question in he minds Of
he people at this time was the reign
If lawlessness in the West Tennessee
country He commented upon the ar
est Of many persons by the soldiers,
n arresting those against whom
here was no proof; of the denial by
]ol Tatom Of the constitutional right
# those arrested to confer with their
ounsel. He alison read the threat of
'ol. Tatom to turn every house in
wo miles upside down When wire
ear the camp had been cut
Mr. Tillman then said that the
reat question was, what had brought
bout this condition of things in three
ounties that made the presence of a
lrge body of armed men necessary
nd had resulted in the disregard OF
lie constitutional rights of the citi-
ems? He declared that the military
Ithorities, acting under the orders
the Governor, had violated the pro-
sions of the State and Federal con-
.itutions.
Mr.. Tillman said that should foul
urder be committed in this section
lie Governor would have the same
ght to send soldiers here and to set
defiance the constitution of the
'untry. He denounced the murder
Capt. Rankin in unmeasured terms
I'd expressed the hope that the per-
'trators of the outrage would be
ought to justice. He said that the
irit of lawlessness which character
ed the people of this State had not
en- the growth of one day. but that
had been brought about by long
ntinued disobedience to the law;
at the people have not been taught

NO LEGAL CALL
FOR MEETING
COUNTY COURT SURPRISED TO
FIND THAT IT is NOT IN
SESSION.
ORDER WAS NUT PROP 4RLY MADE
Judge Instructed to Issue Another
Call for Special Term on Next
Monday.

Much to the surprise of the County
Judge and the members Of the County
Court the discovery was made this
morning that the extraordinary SEES
sion called for today TO take action
looking to the funding Of the county
bridge and court house debt, had not
been legally called The order for
the meeting had never been publish
ed as required by the statute and
when the question was raised the
County Attorney, w. C. Whitthorne,
advised the court that 1t was not In
session and that its action would not
be legal or effective.
When this discovery was made
Squire Denton moved that the court
adjourn to meet next Monday and
that the judge be instructed to issue
and publish a proper call therefor as
required by the statute, and that the
members waive all claim for per diem
for today's session. The motion was
unanimously adopted and the court
adjourned Judge Gordon then issued
the call for the meeting on next Mon
day when the settlement of the debt
will again come under consideration.
It appears that five members of the
court had petitioned Judge Gordon to
call the extra session and that this
petition had been published in The
Herald of a week ago. There had
not, however, been any order made by
Judge upon this petition or any for
nal call made or published for the ex-
ira session. The statute provides
that the County Judge may call the
court in extra ordinary session when
ever in his judgment such action may |
be deemed necessary to the public
interests or upon the petition of five
members of the court. When such
call is made it shall be published in
some newspaper five days before the
court meets or the clerk shall give
five days personal or written notice to
the members of the proposed meeting.
County Attorney Whitthorne adj
vised the members of the court that
the mere publication of the petition
without any order from the County
Judge would not be sufficient to call
the court in extra session and the
'Squires were up against it good and
stout. Judge Erwin suggested that
committee be named to take the whole
matter of funding the debt under
and report such orders
and DEGREES as might be necessary to
The next term of the court. In this
way the sentiment of the court could
be ascertained, but the motion of :.
Squire Denton to adjourn met favor
md the court adjourned" :,
Befort the question as to the legal
ty of the courts session had been :
'ased there was some discussion of
he funding of the debt In answer
o a query from Squire Bellanfant,
Judge Gordon stated that the total :,
curt house and bridge debts, were !,
bout $1S5,O00, and that all the &C =
rued interest on the warrants had $
cen paid when it fell due. There =
'as also a question as to whether or =
OF under the statute authorizing the :,
lnding of the debt, the court could :,
'eally order the issuance of bonds at :,
special term, but the County Attor- =,
ey was of opinion that this was not 80
reasonable or valid objection.
