Every ballot cast in the June

carefully gone over and recount

task and the work was slow and

the votes are contested, it is not

the change. All told, the legal
ity and ownership of "a ballots

Judge Harris, who has them un-

probably three weeks will be re-

Has SEEN A LIGHT.

The Commerical-Appeal, the Mem
phis organ of the administration
makes this startling statement: The
Commercial Appeal did not say that
all of the last delegation Tin the Leg
islature from Shelby county, were
dishonest. 1t did say and does say
now that some were dishonest and
some were inefficient" There will
be few who are familiar with the
Legislature of 1907 who will dispute
this statement, but one would hardly
have expected this admission from
the paper that stood sponsor for the
Patterson ticket in Shelby county in
1906. If we remember Alright it was
this same Commercial Appeal that
has been pouring out walls of abuse
and villification upon E. W. CarmacR
because he did not support a ticket
composed of dishonest and inefficient
Legislators. But if the Commercial
Appeal can succeed in its efforts to
elect an honest and efficient delega
ton to the next Legislature from
Shelby county it will be forgiven many
of it's shortcomings Of the past.

IN LlNcoLN's HOME.

1t is indeed a strange circumstance,
one of the socalled ironies Of fate,
that Springfield, Illinois, the home OF
the great emancipation, should be the
scene of the bloodiest massacre OF
regroes by the white people that has
occurred In this Nation in many years.
1t is more attrocious and the brutal
ties have been more appalling than
those in the Atlanta riot two years
ago, the only occurrence of the kind
in the South in two decades that
bears parallel to the violence at
Springfield. The people Of Spring
field supported Lincoln. they approved
the stroke of his pen which freed the
slaves. they have voted for and stood
by bloody shirt wavers of the Logan
brand for nearly half century. But
nevertheless their love for the negro
has not prevented them from wreak
ing summary vengeance upon one who
despoiled the home. In the Soutf
swift and terrible is the punishment
for the rapist, but there the inciden
ends. Not so in the North; there thu

NAME THEM.

The Commercial Appeal, Gov. Pat
terson's Memphis organ, openly
charges that some members OF the
Shelby delegation in the last Legis-
lature were dishonest. 1t does not
name them, however. AS an interest
ing item Of news to the people of the
State, all Of whom are concerned as
to the character of men sent to the
Legislature to make laws for their
well being, the Commercial Appeal
should be more specific. Then as an
act of justice to the members not in
cluded in its charge It should give the
public more detailed information.

does not reflect upon Senator Edging

committee of the Legislature-the

dark insinuations TO the e1ect that
the aforesaid Mr.. Cooper had most

ice corporations, and that where their

the Honorable Mr.. Hall, likewise a
most devoted partisan Of the Cover
nor. For was it not Mr.. Hall VINO
showed his high conception OF the
duties of a Legislator when he went
tn one of the Maury county delega-
ton and promised the support OF the
entire delegation from Shelby TO
rid Columbia of saloons if the Maury
members would vote for the ripper
bill? Mr.. Hall also by implication
and by indirection, but nevertheless
most plainly gave the Maury county
members to understand that II they
didn't accede to his proposition sa-
looms might remain in Columbia not
withstanding the sacred principle OF
local self government" so far as the
Shelby delegation was concerned
Whether or not this implied threat
would have been carried into execu'
ton will never be known for the
reason thai there was no record vote
I on the Columbia charter bill.
No it cannot be any Of the gentle
men above named, although they were
the most prominent legislators from
Shelby in 1907. All of them served
well the interests to which the Com
mercial Appeals machine has been
allied for many years. Nevertheless
additional information on the subject
would be appreciated and Is eagerly
awaited.

With wheat at ninety-five cents;
corn at four dollars; hams at IL cents
and eggs at fifteen cents, to say moth
ing of the potato, melon and other
similar crops, the farmers OF Maury
county ought to be prosperous and
contented. All Of these commodities
have been produced in this county
during this season In the greatest
abundance and the farmers are re-
ceiving unusually good rewards for
their toll. Bryan never said a truer
thing than when he declared In his
ever memorable Chicago speech in
1896 that the cities in the land could
be DESTROYED but IL the farms were
left 1t would be only few years I'M
til better and larger cities would
spring up. On the other hand de-
stroy the farms and the grass would
grow in the streets of every city In
the country and gaunt hunger's
awful form would become daily Wis
itor to the homes of the richest and
most powerful. The farmers are the
great wealth producers Of the world
and when they are prosperous finan'
cial disturbances brought about by
stock gambling and manipulations
are not going to disastrously AFFECT
any very considerable portion Of the
earth's population.

THE SCHOOL RALLY.

Every educator in the county anu
every person interested in public edu-
cation, who can possibly do so, should
attend the educational rally to be con-
Quoted at Columbia next Saturday by
County Superintendent Graham. IL
has been by arousing public senti-
ment and stimulating public interest
In the schools that Tennessee has at
tanned the rapid progress that has
marked it's educational interests dur
ing the past ten years.
While much has been accomplished
during that period much remains to
be achieved, Better salaries must be
paid the teachers; to do this add1-
tional funds are necessary. These
cannot be obtained save through an
aroused and enlightened public senti-
ment. If those who are the Gus
todians of the public funds are made
10 feel that a strong public sentiment
will sustain them they will be moved
to that liberality in the expenditure
of money for the schools so essential
if the system is to be developed and
maintained at that high standard that
is so much desired This educational
campaign is one of the most impor'
tant in the history Of the state and
deserves the support and encourage
ment of every good citizen.

The cause of popular government
is making rapid progress all over the
world. Turkey is the latest example
of the growth of Democratic ideas
At last the people of that benighted
nation are to have a constitutional
government The experiment de-
ponds largely upon the ability of the
people to exercise the powers con
ferred upon them, A too rapid ad
vance toward Democratic government
would cause reaction and do Infinite
injury to the cause. The people OF
that nation are not ready for more
than a limited application of the prin
ciples of local self government, ano

This announcement coming right on
the heels of the utter rout of the

situation all the more uncomfortable.

There is, however, some consola

It is no more than simple justice
tn saw that the work of the Columbia
Fire Department Sunday morning was
highly efficient. The members of this
