SUFFER LOSS.-INSUR-
ANCE $500.

Fire Friday afternoon destroyed a
dwelling in West End belonging to
Virgil Hughes, together with all the
household furnishing belonging to Mr.

the house for some time. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but is had
gained great Roadway when the fire
department reached it after the long
run.
For the distance the department
made good time and did excellent
work after arrival, succeeding in con-
firing the flames to the one building,
though there are residences on either
side close by.
The loss on the building is total,
and will approximate perhaps $500,
with $4,000 insurance carried by Cor

LEWISBURG, Tenn, May 2.-Five
thousand people are hearing the can
didates for Governor here today. Gov
Patterson and Senator Carmack are
both being given enthusiastic recep-
tons, but there is no doubt that the
crowd is largely for Carmack at the
ratio of about two to one. All of his
friends claim this, but it is certain
that there are not less than three Car
mack badges to two Patterson badges
in evidence. If the crowd today is
any indication of the sentiment of the
county, and it certainly should be for
1t is both large and representative,
Carmack will get Marshall county by
a good, substantial majority.
The speaking is taking place in
front of the court house and the whole
square is packed and jammed with
eager partisans of the. candidates.
Senator Carmack received a great
ovation when he reached here early
this morning from Fayetteville, the
crowd at the depot being for him by
more than three to one. His recep-
ton committee was headed by w. A.
Adams and w. ]. Lloyd, the latter
Clerk and Master. The Patterson
committe was headed by Scott Davis
and Dr. j. NJ Patterson
1t had been expected that Mrs. Car
mack would attend the speaking and
the train from Columbia was met by
a beautifully decorated carriage to
take her to the hotel The carriage
was one huge mass of red boquets
and the wheels were in solid red col
ors. but when Mrs Carmack did not
arrive Mrs. Chas. A. Forgey and Mrs.
T. A. Wharton were taken in the car
riage to the hotel.
On the train from Columbia there
We're forty-three for Carmack and
eighteen for Patterson by actual poll
OF those who boarded the train at
Columbia thirty-three wore red badges
and ten the colors of the machine.
Neither candidate is in first class
physical condition.
