BEST RACING
OF THE MEETING
LARGE CROWD ENJOYED FINEST
SPORT OF THE WEEK ON SAT-
URDAY AFTERNOON.

The racing at South Side Park Sat
urday afternoon was perhaps the best
of the meeting, and especially in view
of the splendid performance of Opal
Wilson in the free-for-all pace when
she went the second heat in 2:1OA,
breaking her own record, the track
record and the half-mile track record
for the south. This last record was
set at 2:11A at Murfreesboro only
the week before by Geers Direct. The
game mare received the applause Of
the large crowd when the time was
made known She could perhaps have
gone second faster had she been
pushed:

PATIERSONITES
HOLD GONCLAVE
sEvENTY-FWE GET TOGETHER
AND PRETEND TO REsoLUTE
AND CRATE.

A number Of the followers Of Gov
ernor Patterson in the guDernatorial
primary. some OF the defeated dele
gates in the recent legislative conven-
ton. and several who attended that
legislative convention and were pot
allowed an opportunity TO unbottle
some enervescant eloquence, met in
the Circuit Court room at l o'clock
Saturday for the purpose Of resoluting
to an extent and of appointing their
own delegates to the Senatorial con-
vention at Hohenwald next Tuesday.
The meeting was a result Of the move
ment inaugurated a few weeks since
by the Chairmen of the Perry and
Lewis County Executive committees
for the purpose of defeating the nop-
ination Of Hon. John E. Greer as the
party nominee for senator from the
twentieth district.
The meeting was gotten up with
strenuous efforts. Letters were writ
ten to all parts Of the county and per-
sonal appeals were made TO men
known TO be in sympathy with the
plan to be present, but in spite Of
these efforts when the convention was
called to order by French Straley at
p. m. there were exactly seventy.
seven men in the court room. Others
perhaps to the extent of forty came in
later, but they we're largely known !
Carmack men in the gubernatorial |
primary and took no part in the pro |
ceedings.
Upon motion of w. j. Webster ESQ.
John NJ, Grove was made temporary
chairman and the representatives Of
the press were made temporary sec
retaries. Upon motion OF Thos. H.
PEBBLES the temporary organization
was made permanent.
In taking the chair Mr.. Grove said
he had recently been run over by the
county machine and his voice was
weak. That he was powerfully aston
ished when the machine struck him,
and from his experiences he had found
that Ban Murray's machine was toy
compared to that of King Ramon.
Mr.. Grow said he was not going to 4
make an extended talk, but he was
evidently glad of an opportunity to
let some of that boiling eloquence out
Of his system.

structed. the examination developed
into a badgering match.
The attitude taken by Sims inquisi-
tors was that of prosecutor towards
a criminal defendant. Admiral Caps
was allowed to interrogate him, con-
trary TO well-established precedents,
and instead of asking questions. Caps
set his own opinions against those of
the witness. His inquiries, according
TO the Associated Press dispatches,
took the form of denials of statements
made by Sims.
According to Commander Sims. the
armor belt of all American battleships
is too low. the direct ammunition
hoists do not work properly and are
a grave menace to the safety of the
men and the ship, and in the case Of
the Georgia explosion, no less than
twenty grains of burning powder found
their way to the handling room. The
most astonishing criticism made by
Commander Sims was contained in his
comment on the battle of Santiago.
American guhners to be the most dis
graceful exhibition of gunnery that
ever took place on the face of the
globe" The average of hits was only
one and ione-half per cent, and the big
guns at best averaged only four per
cent. THE Spaniards were in a woe
full condition or they could have es-
capped easily" was his conclusion.
The American public will decline to
worry about Santiago. The fleet on
that occasion did absolutely all that
could have been expected of it. Not
a single ship of the Spanish fleet made
its escape. Let US not bubble about
hit percentages. No fleet could have
accomplished more in tangible results
than the American fleet accomplished
at Santiago.
1t is to be hoped that in continuing
its inquiry the senate committee will
not permit itself to be diverted from
the main contentious, 1t is eontended
by some competent authorities that our
battleships are improperly constructed.
Other so-called authorities take the
contrary view. Both sides are entitled
to a full, free and embarrassed pres
entation of their views. 1t will then
be the business OF the committee to
decide which of the factions has made
out its case.
