SHOT IN BACK.

A tragedy was narrowly averted
by an unfortunate accident which
occurred in South Camden Thurs
day night about 10 o'clock when
James Saunders, ir, son of r. W.
Saunders of this city, shot @. G.
Thompson, the bali taking effect
in the back.
According to the statement of
Mr.. Saunders, he was awakened
by someone trying to pry open a
window at the front of the house.
He went out at the back door and
around to the front and shot, not
knowing who it was until the
wounded man cried out that he
had been shot.
Mr.. Thompson, who is a son Of
Il. Il. Thompson, prominent cit
izen of South Camden, and mana
ger of the Camden Produce Co.,
admits that he had been drinking
and thought he was at home.
Mr.. Saunders carried him in and
Immediately summoned physi-
clan. While they failed to locate
the ball, which ranged downward,
it is thought to be only flesh
wound, and Mr. Thompson seems
to be getting on very nicely.
The affair is unfortunate and is
generally regretted, and by no one
more than Mr.. Sunders, who was
almost beside himself when he
discovered who it was he had shot.
The young men are cousins, and
there has always been a strong at
taehment between them.

Never have | thought or feltthat

who has better right to defend
the home than woman!
And in The present fight it has
come down to where one must be

destruction Of our laud
The line is now clearly drawn.
Where do you stand?
The Nashville American de-
nounces in very strong terms the
host of women followers of Mr..
Carmack. They are the "Petti-
coat Clam and there are many
things said of their deserted posts
at home. And ifa young lady who
chances to be Carmack follower
should so far forget herself as to
interrupt Governor Patterson with
asong for Mr.. Carmack, the Amer
lean instead of lavishing praises
on her, would give her the much
deserved reminder that she had
only called attention to herself in
a very unladylike way.
IF it is smart for a woman to fol-
low Governor Patterson to this ex-
tent, why should such disrespect-
full things be said of those who
think? Why is woman out of
place when she lifts her voice for
him who offers protection to her
home?
Where these two men meet there
are women who wear the red and
women who wear the white, but
those wear the red do not form a
gay, giddy crowd out for racket,
and wearing the red because some
man told them TO! No, to them
these principles are sacred, and
they will stand 10y these colors
even though fathers and brothers
wear the white.
They are women who think,
women, many of whom have been
through the flames, and on whose
hearts the words of Carmack fall
as balm for their deepest wounds.
Women who read; women who
have suffered and ministered to the
suffering, and who are now stand
ing on the ruins Of desolate homes
and broken hearts, and have raised

GOVERNOR SCORED.

The Memphis News Scimitar
prints the following special dis
patch from Knoxville, dated May
25, scoring Governor Patterson
for his attempt to scale down the
pensions Of Confederate veterans:
"The Athens Post this week
scores Governor Patterson on his
record. Last week the same paper
charged that Governor Patterson
tried during the last Legislature to
defeat measures in the interest Of
the old soldiers.
1T challenged denial and gave
the names of Senator Mansfield,
member Of the last Senate, and
who lives in Athens, and of Rep
resentative John r. Neal, Of the
last House, from Rhea County,
and the present nominee for the
Senate from his district, as wit
nesses to the fact.
"These two Legislators were
members of the conference COM
mittee on the appropriation bill.
Senator johnson of Lebanon was
also a member Of this committee
Governor Patterson told Senator
johnson, so Senator Johnson
states, that the appropriation of
100000 year to pension old sol
diers should be reduced to $780,
900, and the appropriation of
$75, 600 for the widows of old SOL
diersshouldbe reduced to $50, 900.
"When the Governor told Sen
ator Mansfield that these reduc-
tions should be made, Senator
Mansfield said:
"My God, Governor, you will
have to get some Democrat to do
that. No Republican can afford
to cut down the pension of a Con-
federate veteran or his widow
"This statement Senator Mans
field made to a number of friends.
Since the last Legislature increas-
ed the appropriations for the sol
diers and widows there has been
put on the pension roll of Sullivan
County eighty old soldiers and
twenty widows. None of these
could have been put on the roll if
Governor Patterson could have
succeeded in defeating this in
crease. Yet we have heard of two
old soldiers in the county thatare
for Patterson.
