&. w. cARMAcK KILLED AT
NASHVILLE.

The killing of Elk Senator, E.
W. Carmack on the streets of
Nashville, Monday afternoon
was tragedy that will be de-
plored everywhere. Mr.. Carmack
was a man of unusual talent and
his career was a brilliant one.
A lawyer by education, he was
thoroughly equipped for the wi
der field of journalism which he
entered after a few years at the
bar. His connection with the
Nashville American and the Mem
phis Commercial and afterwards,
the Commercial Appeal. afforded
him an opportunity of reaching
the people of Tennessee and his
influence in the State was wide
spread and powerful. His first
entrance into public life was as a
member Of the Legislature from
Maury County. His next service
was as a Representative in Con-
gress from the Tenth District in
which Memphis is located. AS
a Representative in the Lower
House of our National Legisla-
ture, he was uncompromising in
his opposition to those measures
which he believed unfriendly to
the peoples interest. After his
election to the Senate he pursued
his aggressive course and made
no friends with the opposition
party. He was defeated for re-
election to the Senate by Cover
nor Bob Taylor in 1906. He be
came a candidate for Governor,
but was defeated by Governor
Patterson in the August primaries
of this year..
Upon returning to journalism
two months ago, Senator Car
mack adopted his usual aggressive
course and as a result of his re-
peated attacks upon a man whom
he had once claimed as a friend,
the tragedy which resulted in his
death followed.
The entire country will deplore
the tragic end of one of the
South S brainiest and most accom-
plished young men.

THE SOUTH'S MISTAKE.

Although the South makes it's
own living, buys from it's sister
sections, puts money in their
pockets, votes the Democratic
ticket, and begs them to come
over and help, they will not do
it. But change is coming, not
in the South's voting, but, in it's
trading and living place. 1t it
going to quit buying from the
West, and is going to live at
home. 1t is going to qait main
tanning with cotton the balance
of trade in our favor-not be-
cause it. elects to but because it's
got to. Meridian Dispatch.
Yes, the South has been the
pack horse for tae rest of the
country for nearly half century.
We have enriched the West by
buying their grain and meat; the
east by buying their manufacture
ed goods, and the north by trad
ing with their jobDers and whole
sale merchants. No other sec
ton of the country could have
contributed so much to enrich
their neighbors without wholly
impoyerishing themselves; but
despite our unbusinesslike meth
DDS we have prospered.
The greatest mistake the south
makes is trading too much. We
buy too much that we should pro-
duce, and the money we get for
our products goes to soon to
the shrewd trader Of the north or
east or the packer or miller of
the west. We pay large profits
to these people on the very items
that we can produce as cheaply
as the man who grows rich sell
ing them to us. The south must
abandon this policy. 1t is un-
businesslike.

a BAD SCHEDULE.

On the first of the month there
was an order issued from head
quarters stopping all passenger
traffic on the Mobile and Ohio To-
cal freight. The traffic on this
train has been heavy and its
schedule was a very convenient
one for the people of the country.
With it's withdrawal from passen-
ger traffic the public suffers a
very great inconvenience and the
Old Reliable is not furnishing the
public with the convenience of
travel to which it is entitled. IN
less passenger service is resumed
on the local this section will be
practically without any day SER
vice during the winter season
going north in the morning or

attention of the higher officials
should be called to this by petit
titiol or otherwise. Our accom-
mo iating agent might bring the
matter to the attention Of those
who have supervision over the
traffic department.

New Divorce Law For Dakota.

Sioux Falls, S. d., NOV. 8. In
the referendum Of last Tuesdays
election, the people of South Da-
kota have voted overwhelmingly
to end South Dakota's famous
divorce mill. After the state
canvassing board meets at Pierre,
in the first week of next month,
and announces officially that the
new law has been approved, it will
be no longer possible for discon-
tented wives and husbands of
the whole world to come to South
Dakota, and by spending six
months, obtain a secret hearing,
freedom and the right to engage
in more marriages. The statute
approved last will change the des-
TIMES Of families throughout the
United States, and put an end to
an industry worth 5000, 900 year
to Sioux Falls.
The new law provides chat the
plaintiff in an action for divorce
must have been an actualresident
in good faith of this state for
one year and of the county where
an action is commenced for three
months preceding the suit.

Counsel.
By M E. M Davis.

If thou shouldst bid thy friend farewell
But for one night though that fare
well should be,
Press thou his hand in thine; how canst
thou tell
How far from thee,
Fate or caprice may lead his feet
Ere that o-morrow come? Men have
been known
Lightly to turn the corner of street
And days have grown
To months, and months to tagging
years,
Before they looked in loving eyes
again,
Parting. at best, is underlaid with tears =
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should
come between,
Or time, or distance, clasp with pres
sure true
The palm Of him who goeth forth. I'm
seen,
Fate goeth too!
Yea, find thou always time to say
Some earnest word betwixt the idle
talk.
Lest with thee henceforth, night and
day,
Regret should walk.

Advice to Negro Tenants.

With the boil weevil all over
the cotton sections of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
Oklahoma, the colored people
should have good advice. 1t is
this: Stay right where you are,
live as close as you can, raise only
a little cotton, raise your own
tobacco, have patch Of sugar
cane, have q garden, raise your
hogs and chickens, and catch
a mess of fish when you want to.
You can do these things and not
half try, and at the end of two or
three years you will be better off
than you are today. Of course
there are many no account, trif-
ling niggers who will not be able
to do it, and will have to hike it.
but the country will be better o If
without them. There are lots
of good ones, though, who will
be all right, and to these kind
the good advice is given. Lake
