that this section would have to have

North in order to supplant the negro,

BaPaca Bible Class.

Last Thursday night the Baraca Bible
Glass held social meeting at the Roam
street Baptist church, to which num-
Der of friends were invited by the
members. The class, of which Geo. T.
Wofford is teacher, has over 100 mem
bers and is probably the most enthusi-
astic class of the kind in the city. The
following program was carried out in a
most pleasing manner, each participant
seemingly in their most cheerful mood:
Prayer, Rev. T, G. Davis.
Reading, Mrs. Robt. Fulton.
Solo, Miss Lena Barton.
Address, Hon. Robt. Gardner.
Solo, Mr.. Chas. Cargille.
Following this the party, except the
ladies, repaired to Pardue's Cafe, where
an excellent luncheon was served in
keeping with the Cafes standard of OK
cellence. After hsshlight photograph
of the party was made by Charles Car
gille, the trip to the Edisonia was be-
gun and decidedly interesting show
enjoyed for another hour.

Fighting Like Republicans.

Our Nashville correspondent says;
$50 far but little has been done by
the Patterson forces, who have just or
ganized. Carmack's friends have been
campaigning ever since the last cleo
ton, and they have worked the state
pretty thoroughly, with more or less
success in places"
This short sentence says it all. Gar
mack's friends have been campaigning
ever since the last election"
There it is in a nutshell. Patterson
defeated the Cox Carmack contingent,
the democrats of the state preferring a
simon pure democrat to Mr.. Cox, Of
doubtful democratic quality, whereupon
the battle to unseat this simon pure
democrat is OF once begun, and that,
too, in the face of democratic prece-
dent.
This, of course, is the natural task OF
republicans, not democrats. Nobody
finds fault with republicans if they be-
gin trying to unseat a good democrat
the day after he is elected; but work Of
this kind on the part Of those calling
themselves democrats is not only rep
rehensible, but positively injurious to
democratic ascen dancy and control.
Yet the whole state knows that instead
of awaiting to see whether Gov. Patter-
son would prove to be good governor,
as he has done, this faction of so.called
democrats started in the day after the
election, inaugurating campaign
against him. He had not presided
thirty days ere this Carmack boomAwat
sprung. Of course, the principal was
coy and hard to entice into open candi
dacy at that early date; but his follow
ers made nothing of their bare-faceC
attack upon governor and an admin
istration that had hardly commenced
and the state is quite aware that this il
as true as anything can be.
For period they searched for som'
show of reason for violating democratic
precedent by bringin out their stabbed
steed, and could find none. There wa
no democratic issue in Tennessee. On
had to be made. Ingenuity centereC
upon linking up the people" concern
ing the two sorts of primaries, legaliz
} ed and otherwise, that are open to an,
party in this state. There, then, is tn
issue, purely artificial one, expressl,
manufactured and cut out of as decep
tive piece of cloth as was ever woven
For spell the humbug had its day
but it has burned its wings at the can
die and begins to futter to desuetude
for q method is only a method, and
the one adopted is as fair to one as t.
the other and is conducted honestl
and above board, there remains n
, place to hang so big thing as an issue
Plainly, the present fight is continu
ance Of the Cox fight. 1t is waged il
contempt Of democracy's decision an
precedent, and is therefore warfar
upon the party as whole.-Commer

Reduced Rates Are in Effect.

The 1.2 cent rate is now in effect
and that is no joke.
Tuesday was the last day of the three
cent fare and it is believed that it will
be the last time patrons of the South
ern railway will ever have to pay it.
The reduction of one-half a cent
mile by the Southern railway came to
Tennessee voluntarily as has also come
to South Carolina, Other states in the
south have legislated more or less on
the matter, some of them passing laws
requiring chargelof two and quarter
cents, which rate was supplanted yes
terday through compromise measures,
by two and half cent rate.
The reduced rate is good on all rail-
roads in the south except the Louisville
4 Nashville group and good on the
Atlantic Coast line of that group. Such
roads as the Southern, the Norfolk &
Western, the Seaboard Air Line, the
Atlantic Coast Line, the Mobile Il
Ohio, the Queen Il Crescent and small
or roads are selling two and half cent
per mile tickets.
Wednesday the new mileage books
went into effect which permit the trav-
eler to ride 1000 miles for $40, this
mileage book being good on any of the
roads above mentioned and smaller
lines in the south, which means practi-
cally all over the south and at least to
all important points.
This mileage book is good for as
many as five members of firm. For
$11.2 it is possible for family to buy
a Ave hundred mile mileage book good
only within the state of Tennessee, on
which any member OF the family may
ride.
It will thus be seen that it is posi-.
BILE to ride at two cents mile, n lower
rate than was granted to individual pas
sengers in the south.
A noticeable change III the use o.
mileage under the new regime should
be noted by any who buy the new mile
age or the old form of mileage books
hereafter. The mileage must be ex
: changed with the ticket agent for I

cases will con ductor be allowed t

where an agent is not on duty or whel
for any cause for which the passenge
is not responsible, the railroad ha

tors who have been investigating charg-
es against E. A. Warren, postmaster of

The accusations charged drunkenness

The charges were preferred by Sam

Balance in the State Treasury,

Nashville, March 81. - Tennessee
closes the month of March and the first
quarter of 1908 with balance of s., 300
149 81 in the state treasury. The bal
ance at the close of business March 81,
1907, was 81 1850, Arb. 49, This shows an
increase for 1908 compared with 1907 in
the treasury balance on this date of

The condition of the treasury on the
