rHE CASE IN BRIEF.

By virtue Of a resolution duly adop-
ted and published by the Democratic
Executive Committee OF that county,
the Democrats OF Perry county assem-
bled on July II and by a large ma
jority declared Hon. John A. Greer
the county's choice for the Senate.
The convention was regular. 1t was
called to order by w. n. Sloan, then
Chairman of the County Committee.
He declared that Greer was the coun-
tvs choice for the Senate. This end
ed the contest so far as Perry county
was concerned. The will o. the De-
mocracy of the county had been as
certained according to the party law
and precedents which had obtained
for years.
Thereafter on Aug. 6, the Legisla-
tive convention Of Maury county,
composed of duly elected delegates
under a call issued by the County
Committee for the purpose of NOM
mating candidates to represent Maury
county in the General Assembly of
Tennessee" passed by unanimous vote
a resolution declaring Mr.. Greer the
county's choice for the Senate. This
county and Perry county have TWEEN
ty-nine of thirty-three votes in the
Senatorial district, therefore for the
purpose of stating this case it is not
necessary to go into the details Of
the contest in Lewis county.
Greer's endorsement In Perry coun-
ty was regular, legal and binding.
His endorsement in Maury county
was equally so. Hence the attempt of
the Chairman of Perry county, since
formally deposed by an outraged and
indignant committee, and the action
of the Chairman in Lewis county, an
appointee of the Governor and doubt
less acting under direction of the
State machine, to determine another :
and different method to ascertain the
will of the Democrats of Maury and !.
Perry counties was unauthorized, null
and void. There never was candi-
late for office who had a clearer title
% the nomination than Mr.. Greer. If !,
lie is not the nominee of the Demo
,ratic party, then that party has no "
-, u
nominees for any Office this year. :.
This is plain statement of the facts.

PRESERVE The FORESTS.

That the forests and floods ant
drouths bear direct relation to eacf
other is no longer a disputed question
Investigations covering long period
of years and conducted in several
countries have demonstrated that as
the forests are denuded the rain sup
ply becomes more uncertain and floods
and drouths are more numerous and
destructive, The experience of the
United States since the forests have
been so widely destroyed has shown
the dangers that come from denuding
the land of trees, and unless the re-
naming forests are conserved and a
policy Of REPRESENTATION is inaugural
ed very serious problem will con-
front the country.
Investigations in india show that
during the past fifty years, since large
areas of land have been cleared and
the famines have occurred
nearly three times as often as they
did during the previous fifty years.
The experience of this country with
floods and drouths, while OF course
nothing like as disastrous as that of
India, proves that the causes have
In large measure been the same.
The drouth which has extended

A couple in Ohio sat and chatted
pleasantly together while their coun
sci prepared articles of separation
which formally dissolved the bonds OF
matrimony between them. 1t is stated
that the wife was so accommodating
that she went to the attorneys ONCE
in order that her husband might serve
her with the necessary legal notice.
This incident illustrates the light and
frivilous manner In which large num-
Der of people view the marriage obli-
cation. Perhaps, hawever. the hour
Of separation was the most pleasant
that either had spent since their mar
rage.

Never in the history of Tennessee
has so little interest been manifested
by the people in the campaign for
Governor. although it is but a
month until the election the Demo
cratic candidate has not made a
single speech and the Republican NOM
inee has made only one. 1t is an
nounced that Gov. Patterson will not
open his campaign until Oct. s. which
is one full month later than II was
ever opened before. Evidently the
Democratic managers are of the opin-
ion that the fewer speeches the noml-
nee makes the brighter viii the pros.
poets be for Democratic success. I'm.
less interest should be aroused dur
ing the next four weeks the vote in
November will be unusually small.

1t would be capital idea If the
county fairs in Tennessee would
pattern after those of the sister State
Of Kentucky and have a good roads
department. Next to the public
school the public road is thS most i'm
portant of the public institutions. The
fairs should devote part of one day
to the good roads question. The gov
ernbent would sent experts free of
cost to talk to. the people and If en-
couraged, to give practical demonstra-
tons in road making.

THE PRIMARY PLAN.

The plan adopted by the Democrat
ic Executive Committee for the cleo
ton Of it's successor is one that is
bound to commend itself to the rea
son and sense of fairness of the Dem.
ocrats of the county. The committee
has thrown around the election all of
the safeguards of the law and thus
fairness, honesty and justice is insur-
ed. The date selected is most for
tunate one. 1t will not only obviate
the trouble and the expense OF sup
Elemental registration but by being
held on the day Of the general cleo
ton will entail little inconvenience
upon the voters and will guarantee
full expression Of the popular will.
The committee is to be commended
for adhering to the old apportionment.
BY electing the members from the old
districts the committee is kept close
to the people. The smaller the con-
stituency the more representative the
character of the membership The
members will feel a closer and a high
er responsibility if they represent
their near neighbors than If they
were chosen by large territory.
The effort to change the plan and
to elect two members from each of
the old districts regardless of popu-
lation was illadvised and the commit
tee acted wisely in voting 1t down.
1t would be unjust to the Democrats
to base the representation upon an
arbitrary plan that would take no con-
sideration of the difference in the vot-
ing strength of the several districts.
A district that casts 100 votes Is GER
tainly not entitled to the same repre-
sentation as one that casts five times
that number. To have adopted such
q plan would have been violation
Of the very principle upon which
government by representation is bas-
3D. and would have been contrary to
the established precedents of the :
Democratic party from time immemo- :,

JUDGE ERWIN FOR RECORDER
Indications Are That He Will Get
Another Term Without opposi-
tion.-Election in November.

There was no meeting of the
. Board Of Board of Mayor and Alder
men last night, as on account of the
heavy collection of taxes during the
past few days and the many checks
coming in by mail in payment
of taxes Recorder Erwin did not
have time to prepare his financial re-
port The meeting has therefore been
postponed until Thursday night of
next week.
In this connection there has been
some talk of the election by the
Board of City Marshal and Record
er, the impression having arisen that
this election would take place at the
regular meeting night of the Board in
November. The election will not take
place, however, until the first melting
night in December. While there is
still plenty of time for candidates to
come forward and an interesting race /
to develop, it is probable that the
Recordership will be again rendered !
Judge Erwin and as the Judge an
rears to be pretty well satisfied with
this present location he VIII probably
accept. ]. Skyes Orman has been
mentioned in connection with the Of
flee, but he would doubtless not al
low his name to go before the Board,
If it was understood that Judge Erwin
was tentative candidate for re-elec-
ton.
AS to the Office of City Marshal it
has been the impression for the past
year that since the addition of the
saloons Columbia did not need a large
amount of police protection and that
a saving could be made in this direc-
ion. 1t is probable therefore that
he offices of City Marshal and Street :
0verseer will be combined and where
/ salary of SIS month is now being +
,aid the City Marshal and $4,000 Il
nonth to the Street Overseer, the sal u
Try for the combined Office will be Ia
laced at probably $4,000 a month. n
,ity Marshal Morgan has some ex- ia
ensive business interests and it is L
robable that he would not be can
idate for reelection even at the pres B
mt salary, and it goes without saying
hat he would not accept the COM tn
ined office at the reduced salary. Mr.. by
ohm Latta has been mentioned as a ]
robable candidate, but it is not Al
nown whether he would accept at the M
800 and certainly not at the reduced tic
llary Ed Morgan has also been
entioned for the Office and If the &

POSTAL RECEIPTS
REVENUES OF LOCAL OFFICE
SHOW AN INCREASE OF 6 PER
CENT FOR QUARTER.

/ Receipts of the Columbia post office
! for the quarter ending Wednesday
night show the largest increase over
the corresponding quarter of the
previous year of any three months
during the past twelve months. The
increase in revenues was approx
imately $500 or about six per cent
which is an average of two per cent
month and If sustained through the
year would make an aggregate in
crease in the business of nearly TWEEN.
ty-five per cent AS matter of fact
the increase over the previous quarter
would be more than that.
During the three months ending
Sept. 80 the receipts of the local office
were $4,720.77 as compared with a..
42S.63 for the three months ending
Sept. 30 Of 1907. That was the last
quarter before the panic and 1t was
not expected that this quarter would
show any increase in comparison and s
had the receipts been as good it would
have been a matter of congratulation.

THE HUGIN BADLY DONE UP.
More Seriously Damaged In Collision
Than First Thought.

More Seriously Damaged In Collision
Than First Thought.
a NEW YORK, June 16.-With her
bow stove, her stem broken and fore-
peak flooded with water, the steamer
Hugin, which sailed from New York
for Cuba several days go. lmped back
to port this morning with story Of
the British steamer Coya, bound from
the west coast OF South America, also
was badly damaged, but she succeeded
in reaching Norfolk without assist
anoe.
The collision occurred at1o:15 O'clock
ON the night of June 18th, when the
steamers were 1913 miles southeast by
south Of Cape Hatteras. They met
head on, and as both were heavily
laden, the impact was sufficient to
shatter the bows OF both vessels. For
tunately, however, no one on either
vessel was injured and after hurried
temporary repairs had been made,
the steamers started for port, The
Coya continued on to Norfolk and the
bHugin turned about and came back to
New York for repairs.
