Then after a ten minute recess the
company were reseated to hear the
debate. The debaters took their places

their arguments. There were giants
in those days and they did not hesit-

of hard feelings creeping in. Politics
were for, of and by the people and no
one felt that questions which affected
their own welfare should be avoided.
Great political problems were dis

| 1t was that Mr.. Evans should be in his
cabinet. Brownlow's hold on the state
Organization was SO powerful that McKin-
ley sacrificed his feelings and begged Mr..
Evans to become Commissioner of Pen
sions. which Mr.. Evans reluctantly &C
copied.
The republicans Of Tennessee last year
elected a state committee favorable to
Mr.. Evans. assisted materially by Nathan

serving his second term in Congress. The
dominant faction had as chairman Of the
state committee Newell Sanders OF
Chattanooga. who has been Evans part

nessee republicans for four years at least.

| by the bitter gubernational contest now
waged between Gov. Patterson and Ex-
Senator Carmack
Their success does not in any way
| jeopardize Mr.. Brownlow in his absolute
| control of the first district, which he
represents in Congress. During the time
| he has been national committeeman he
| has been able to have a soldiers home
a fish hatchery and many public build

natural that they should stand by him.

We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr.. Mark L. Kirk, which occurred at
his home, near Kennesaw Mountain, on
last Thursday evening about o'clock,
of heart failure.
Mr.. Kirk was apparently in good
health-a stout, fleshy man-but had
been sick for day or two. His sudden
death, however, was a great shock to
his numerous friends. He was about
30 years OLD and was substantial, in
dustrious farmer, having the respect
and esteem of all who knew him. He
leaves wife and number of relatives
to mourn his untimely departure. He
was member of the New Salem Bap.

Salem cemetery on Friday afternoon.

Mr.. Nesbitt Osborn, eighteen years
old, night ticket agent at the Western

sad accident on last Friday at noon.

ped at the railroad crossing, on Powder
Springs street, to Swing on" The
train was going very fast, and Mr.. Os-
born made an effort to catch the hand
railing, missed his hold, the car struck
him back OF the head, knocking him
down. His feet went under the car
wheels-the left foot was severed en-
tirely, and was just hanging by piece
OF skin; the right foot was about half
crushed. He was carried to DR.. No.

both feet being amputated about three
inches above the ankles.

warning proprietors that their gins
would be burned to the ground should

price of cotton reached 12cents pound
1t is reported that similar warnings are
being posted on many gins over the
country as we'll as oil mills.
1t is hoped the above 10 not true. 1t
would breed bad state of affairs if it

in place of prosperity, not to say de-
