us in society just now is due to the

PATTERSON WINS.
Defeats Ex-Senator Carmack In
 Democratic Primaries.


 Democratic Primaries.
 Memphis, June 30.-Returns receiv- ed from Saturdays Democratic prima- ry election in this state indicate the certain renomination of Governor Pat terson over former United States Sen- ator Carmack. Reliable returns re- ceived by the Commercial-Appeal give Patterson 734 delegates votes and Carmack 5s4 delegates. Carmack fol- lowers, it is said, will probably contest the election in two small interior coun- ties, charging fraud. The loss of the delegates involved would not affect the result. Governor Patterson's pop ular majority Is about 5000 votes.
 The election was held on the county unit plan. Senator Carmack favored statewide prohibition, and Governor Patterson announcing for local op. tion. The governor said, however, on the stump that if the Democratic plat form called for statewide prohibition he would sign such bill if passed by the legislature.

When Del Rummel was trying 20
impose on his hearers at Athens by
telling them that wherever the Dem
ocrats had passed Acknowledgement

whites as negroes, he was neatly
called down by one of the most sub
stantial Republicans and best citi-
zens OF the town, Mr.. James w.
Robinett, who told him that he was
Just as good a Republican as Mr..
Rummel ever cared to be and that
so far as his statement with re-
gard to Virginia was concerned he
was misinformed. Not one white
voter in a thousand is disfranchised
in my old county in Virginia. said
Mr.. Robinett, and the negroes do
not vote there. Mr.. Robinett is
nightly respected at Athens and ev-
cry one who knows him knows that
he is thoroughly reliable.

to bring in as many squirrels as he
had received charges under penalty of
a severe lecture or even of having his

the boy became fort soldier. with
loophole assigned him froEl which to
fight when the settlers rallied against
an Indian foray. Growing older, he
became hunter of deer. elk, buffalo
and bear, skilled in trailing and in
utilizing cover. capable Of enduring
long marches through trackless noun
tain forests. At night he was content
to curl up in a single blanket beside a
small fire and sleep under the roof of
heaven. lift rained, in few minutes
he built him lodge Of bark or boughs
with no implement but his one pound
tOmahawk. Incessant war with the
Indians taught him to be his own gen

his head and shoot straight under FIRE
Pitted against an enemy who gave no
quarter. but tortured the living and
scalped the dead, he became himself q
