GOVERNORS
Announces His Attitude Toward Things
Ex-senator Stands For. Does Not Un-
derstand There is Demand for Law
Guaranteeing Bank Deposits

Gov. Patterson has given out an in
terview in which he expressed his
opinion on several questions on which
Senator CarmaCk recently stated his
views. Gov. Patterson said, owing to
the fact that he might not have time at
the joint discussions to fully state his
views on the propositions recently
enunciated by Mr.. Oarmack, he would
do so now ard dispose of them. The
governor then said:
''Senator Carmack, as a candidate for
governor, has stated several PROPOSE
tions which he favors. I give each in
order so that the people may under
stand the points of difference and
agreement between us.
TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
"First-He says: 4 favor the entire
abolition of the liquor traffic in this
state
81 would also with the consent of the
people and under the principle of local
self-government, which has always been
the rule in Tennessee.
"Second-He says: I favor a law
that will take the election machinery
entirely out Of the governors hands
and restore it to the people.
"I also favor such law, and the leg.
islature has enacted one If a more
satisfactory one can be devised, it would
also meet my approval.
"Third-He says: Il favor a manda-
tory primary election law
ST would favor mandatory primary
election law properly safeg guarde6
against fraud, and not fashioned after
the act of 1901, though the county plan
with direct vote Of the people, is il
many respects preferable.
"Fourth-He says: 4 favor a law t.
prohibit what is known as "bucketshol
gambling"
"There are laws on the statute book
now which prohibit all 'bucketshol
gambling and if they we're enforced
the practice would be broken up. 1
any amendments to these laws ar
needed to make them more effective,
would favor and approve such legisls

any discrimination in passenger rates

GOOD ADVICE
FROM A CHRISTIAN LADY.

At this season of the year when
throughout the Protestant world re-
vival services are being held and in
our own city a united effort among
the various churches is being made to
rescue the erring souls and bring
them as tribute of love to the Hea-
venly Father and an evidence of our
interest in the eternal welfare of our
fellow beings, it might be well not
to introduce a new subject for consid-
Grafton. but simply to call attention to
an old. old one, old as the Love of
God and next to that dear gift in
beauty, and that Is the love for our
fellow beings. When we say love we
mean to embrace those kindred attrib.
utes. sympathy. pity. compassion.
kindness, charity. all of which really
spring from love.
There are many ways of manifest
ing our love for one another. but one
whose far-reaching influence cannot
be estimated, and within the reach
of all to bestow Is the "kind word and
CHEEKY smile" Many feet that for
financial reasons, they cannot hope to
become philanthropists in the large
sense of the word, or enter the mission
fields OF the Orient, and therefore,
have no opportunity to be useful to
God and men. Few realize the mighty
work kind word may do with the sin
laden soul. Many are standing at the
parting of the ways. undecided which
path to pursue-perhaps a kind word
will lift the sad heart above the waves
of sin and draw them on to the right
road; and that same kind word may
be remembered in years to come and
be cherished as n priceless jewel-and
who can say that the one who spoke
those words has accomplished moth
Ing?
Who knows how far wrong Ella
Wheeler Wilcox was when she wrote:
so many gods. so many creeds, so
many ways that wind and wind,
When all this sad world needs
Is just the art OF being kind"
And had not Leigh Hunt sounded the
depths of nature fairly well when he
gave us "Abou Ben Adheim?" Why
should not the name of him who loves
his fellow men had the rest when that
is the best evidence that he loves the
Lord. We could not believe that a
person truly loved the Lord who low
ed not his fellow men.
The only way we can labor for the
Lord is by helping those OF his chill
dren who need our aid, and there is
no key to the heart more effective
than a kind word; no surer way to
encourage the down trodden sinner,
and point the way to God and pure
life than to let him see that n God
like love and compassion fills your
heart to overlooking and finds an out.

deeds are well, but there are times
when a kind word will accomplish

what nothing else will. There is a
feeling of gratitude when you give a
material gift but a "kind word and
CHEEKY smile" often inspires greater
feeling. You have seen the sinner
with bowed head, listen to the SER
mon. the invitation to come to the al
tar. and yet hesitate; you see some
dear man or woman with the true love
NJ cod in their heart (and may God
bless everyone OF such where ever
they may be) come to them take
their hand, speak that kind word,
and they melt like the snow under the
warmth of Gods sunlight. Love and
kindness is to the animate world what
sunshine is to the inanimate. and let
US not be sparing with it. Remem-
Der how, after a dark, cloudy season,
we long for the CHEEKY sunlight; then
give a thought to the poor, starving
hearts into whose dark recesses the
life giving rays neverpenetra tie, and
whom opportunity presents, give
hearty hand clasp and kind word.
How quickly you will see glad re-
aection mirrored in the face.
What a grand opportunity is afford
ed the Christian people of Fairmont
in our revival services. When some
one who feels the burden Of sin grow
lngR heavy and manifests an interest,
perhaps desires the prayers of the
church, a few kind words might help
the wavering sinner to decide for
Christ. And with the true Christian.
in whose heart the love Of God abides,
the "kind words will not be with
held because this fellow being might
be unfortunate. He may belong to the
lower classes" or a cripple, per-
chance. painfully travelling LIES I'M
even paths on crutches and staff, bow
ed and fnisshapen, and for whom. IL
the star of love CLEANS &C all, 1t is
only in the skies OF eternity. With no
hope in this life, can we not help him
to look beyond the grave, for who
knows the refining power of Gods
eternal plan? May we not find his
soul shining in a wondrous beauty
when 1t is feed from the poor mlsshap-
en- letters that hold it here? May
not the spiritual development prove
paramount to the intellectual achieve
ments of this life? So don't reserve
your kind words and CHEEKY smiles
for Fortunes favorites. Step to the
altar and clasp the hand and whisper
n kind word to those upon whom the
light is dawning. How 1t will help
and encourage them! In Gods name,
speak n kind word. If you feel ia
cIlned to stand back, think of him
whose love and kindness enfolds and
protects all classes and conditions OF
men: but speak the word of good
cheer, encouragement. To those who
cannot give gold, 1t Is gratifying to
konw there is something beside gold
that will bring sunshine into the
hearts OF the weary laden. Give kind
words and CHEEKY smiles; few are so
hardened by sin upon whom kind
words and smiles will not have last
ing impression. Give them and be.
thankful to the beneficient Giver Of
