Especial Correspondence Nashville Americana
Memphis, Tenn, March 2l.-The
friends of ex-senator Carmack in this
county, in their zeal to serve him, have
placed him in an embarrassing posi-
ton. They attempted to repeat their
performance Of some years ago when
he was a candidate for congress, by
bringing Mr.. Bryan here. In looking
about for pretext to invite him, good
brother, Rev. W. E. Thompson, who
was then Mr.. Carmack's ardent sup
porter and who is now state wide pro-
hibitionist, discovered that he had an
organ fund that needed building up,
and the great Nebraskan readily con-
sented to stop over on his way to Mis-
sissippi and deliver lecture. 1t was
figured that this would be the oppor-
tune time for Mr.. Carmack to launch
his gubernatorial campaign. He had
ridden into congress on Mr.. Bryan's
back, and they could see no reason why
he should not ride into the governor
ship in the same way. Mr.. Carmack
arrived few minutes before MIR. Bryan
and remained at the depot and was one
of the committee to receive him.
A local newspaper that is supporting
the ex-senator published snap shot
picture of a group showing Bryan and
Carmack standing next to each other.
the ex-senator slightly in the rear.
Desiring to impress the public with the
idea that these gentlemen are held to.
gether by strong teDdrils of mutual af'
fection, another picture was made from
this one from which all other figures
but the two were botted out. Seeing
this, the layman would naturally con-
clude that the great commoner and the
ex senator had posed together, when
the truth is the Nebraskan preserved a
dignlfied aloofness, and. while he was
civil, his bearing toward his former
friend was marked by total absence

Norfolk, Va.--The battle is over,
the waters are stilled again, and tive
new episcopal ships are sailing out
OF the harbor--Lampton, Parks, Flip
pen, Heard and Johnson.
The most swoeplng victory of all
was that Of DR.. hampton. He was
elected ON the very first ballot, which
is not surprising to those who know
his career. DR., hampton has risen
from the brickyard to the bishop
bench. He Is Mississippis favorite
son, having worked in the Bayou
State for quarter Of a century. He
left the brickyard to become back
woods preacher, and he fought his
way up until he became financial
secretary to the A. Nj. e. church. He
put this church on a more solid ba-
sis than ever. Equally anxious to 90
good in other fields he has been
GRAND Master of the Masons Of Mis-
SiSSippi for II years. No man Is q
harder student of books and men, no
mans word is more to be relied on,
no man works or breaches with more
sincerity and forgetfulness Of self.
Whatever some critics may say of the
other elections, all praise the selec-
ton Of DR.. hampton.
DR.. H. B. Parks, Of New York, al
so came out Of the contest with fly
ing colors. He is the. missionary Sec
Petary of the A. NJ. E. church, and is
generally known as a man Of learn
ing, eloquence and probity.

of DR.. Flipper. He is famed as an
educator, having been president of
Morris Brown College.
Rev. w. II. Heard is also O. bright
man. Some years ago he was United
States minister to Liberia, and has
made a record both in diplomatic
and .ecclesiastic circles.
Another popular choice is Rev. y.
Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia. He
is called the most eloquent man in
the A. NJ. E. church, a scholar and
gentleman, who will represent the
denomination anywhere with dignity.

An exchange describes successful
man as follow: "a man who has
made happy home for his wife and
children. No matter what he has not
done in the way of achieving wealth
and honor: If he has done that he is a
grand success. If he has not done
that, and it is his own fault, though
he be the highest in the land, he is a
most pitiable failue. We wonder how
many men in mad pursuit of gold,
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can be

A FAMOUS BEAUTY
SPECIALIST
Gives Advice To Women Lacking In
Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women are using toll
ct preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their
thick, muddy compilations or to ban
ish the pimples, blackheads and
crows feet.
No wonder. Their troubles lie
far deeper than the skin They have
bad blood, and bad blood in 80 per
cent of the cases arises from inflam-
nation of the mucous mebrane. Their
blood is filled with poison which is
certain to break out in unsightly hui
mors and blotches-while pale, drawn
faces, deep circled eyes, STOPPING
shoulders and weak backs complete
the story of suffering and despair.
Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane is catarrh. Danish catarrh and
compilations will clear as if by magic,
pain vanish, eyes will brighten, faces
become plump and shoulders erect,
Perfect beauty goes only with per-
feet health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
ReXall Mucu-Tone, the one positive
and permanent cure for catarrh
Nine. Swift, A w. 26th St, New
York City the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an accept
ed authority on all relating thereto,
has this to say of Mucu-Tone;
Il can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a
cure for systemic catarrh. Its tonic
effects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Mucu-Tone, they will praise it
as do for its strengthening and heal
| ing qualities"
ReXall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, and acting directly upon
the muco-cells-the congestion and
| inflammation of which are the sole
! cause of catarrh--causes them to ex-
pei the poison and to resume their
natural functions. Thus the mem
branes are cleansed-the blood puri-
| fed and revitalized
/ We know that Rexall Mucu-Tone
will cure every form of catarrh nc

standing, or by what other names
it is known. We guarantee to re-

Wanted to Know

Mr. c. A. Fricker stated that he
wanted to know the attitude of the
meeting on the Dodson contract, so
that he could know if he could take
part. Efforts to sound the meeting
along this line were ruled out of ord
er. Col. Sheppard did not see what
such question had to do with the
qualifications of Mr. Poole, but could
not get his nomination put to vote,
finally retiring.
Mr. w p Wallis thought plat
form was needed. He referred to the
fact that Mr.. Poole had been one of
the Aldermen to vote for a bill of in
junction against the street railway
company. He therefore offered res
olution to the effect that the aldermen
nominated be instructed to let Mr..
Dodson proceed with his contract
and give him until the fourth Monday
in May, next to finish it.
Much confusion prevailed at this
stage, but the ruling of the chair that
the resolution was not in order was
overruled, the vote being decisive.
Chairman Allen called Hon. Craw-
ford Wheatley to the chair, and took
the floor. He reviewed the history of
the contract. He thought the city
should own it's light and power plant.
He declared that the contract had ex-
pired July 6. He was interrupted by
questions, some feeling being inject
ed. Mr. G. J. Clark spoke in favor of
municipal ownership.
Mr.. Fletcher Griffin thought that no
nomination should be made, in view
of the feeling aroused A motion to
adjourn was put viva voce, and de-
clared carried.
