Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordina-
ry colds and recovered from them with
out treatment of any kind, do not for a
moment imagine that colds are not
dangerous. Every one knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold, but
the cold prepares the system for the re-
ception and development of the germs
that would not otherwise have found
lodgment. 1t is the same with all in
fectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has a cold. You will see from
this that more real danger turks in a
cold than in any other of the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest
way to cure a cold is to take Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy. The many re-
markable cures effected by this prepa.

TO THE BOYS IN
THE TRENCHES

Do you realize that Bryan and Kern
are in grave danger of losing the electo-
raj vote of Tennessee?
Do you realize that the republicans
are conducting gumshoe campaign in
Tennessee such as they have never con-
Quoted before?
Do you realize that the $50,0O being
raised by the republicans for the an
nounced purpose of insuring an honest
election is really for use in spots in the
state where Newell Sanders thinks it
will do the most good?
Do you realize the force of the state
ment that the republican state head
quarters have compiled redbook in
which is the name of every supposed
disgruntled and disaffected democrat
in the state?
Do you realize that all these suppos-
ed disaffected democrats are being pelt-
ed with republican literature, both
state and national, much of the latter,
in the hope of aiding Taft to carry the
state?
Do you realize why G. N. Tillman is
talking so sweetly to democrats in his
perambulations over the state and why
there are practically no other republi-
can speakers on the stump?
Do you realize that this is part Of
the plan to beguile democrats into q
feeling of security, in order that Till
man and Taft may sandbag them on
the day of election?
If you do not realize the meaning Of
these plain signs of the times it were
high time you were doing so unless you
want to see Taft get away with thC
states twelve electural votes and G. N
Tillman sitting in the executive chai
at the capitol.
The word has gone to Washington t
the national committee from republi
can headquarters at Nashville that thi
is the year to carry Tennessee for TIN
national and state tickets; that there il
, great disaffection among the democrat
in the state, while the republicans hav
!, been united, and now is the time t,
J strike.
/ Asa result the gumshoers are at worl
and the money is flowing this way.

, about it? Are they going to sleep il

ards who will turn states evidence and
give the whole crime away.
Every man implicated in the MUIR
der of Capt. Rankin must be slain.
The law demands his life, and if Ten
nessee is to be peaceful state his life
must be forfeited.
This we are satisfied is the way to
stop this night riding business. We
have no doubt that Gov. Wilson will
promptly join with Gov. Patterson in
establishing martial law. The situa-
tion is in the hands of the two govern
ors. AS for Gov. Patterson, he has the
chance of his life. We believe that he
realizes the eXigencies of the case. 1t
is up to him to do something to remove
this blot from the state, and we know
he wants to do it. If necessary, we be-
lieve he could get an army of 100000
men to volunteer to surround the Reel
foot assassins and help to eXterminate
them.
But the thing can be done in an or.
derly way, so that there will be nc
charge of injustice. Let's have martial
law, and execute every assassin either
directly or remotely concerned in the
murder of Capt Rankin. We are in
deed a craven and time-serving people
if we allow a handful of masked assas
sins to defy us and ply their trade witt
impunity. y.-Commercial-Appeal.

CAlJ AND WILL BE

PROCLAIM MARTIAL LAW.
Gov. Patterson Has Militia on the
Scene and is Dong Every
thing in His Power.

Tennessee is confronted with grave
proposition, nd~the stain upon the
fair escutcheon of the state must be re-
moved. The cowardly assassins who
took the life of Capt. Rankin imagine
that because they were masked and
operated in the dead of night they are
immune.
These murderers must be caught and
they can be caught.
OF course it will be done at once, how
are they to be apprehended.
We suggest that Gov. Patterson pro-
claim martial law in that section and
that he call on Gov. Wilson, of Ken
lucky, to join him in doing so. We
have no doubt that Gov. Wilson will
join him promptly in doing So for we
know what manner of man the govern
or of Kentucky is, and we also know
what manner of man Malcolm Patter-
son is.
If the two governors will join in pro-
claiming martial law around that Sec
ton of the country where the disturb
ance has been, they can solve the prob
lem.
This is an extraordinary occurrence,
demanding extraordinary remedies.
Establish martial law, and surround
the storm center with a Gordon Of
troops; then close in on all the persons
living in that territory. Let them all
be arrested. Certain innocent people
may be incommoded, but they will
have no difficulty in convincing the
authorities of their innocence.
In this dragnet, however, all The
guilty persons will be caught. The in
nocent will be sifted out, and the guilty
will be located.

Gov. Patterson in declaring MARTA
law, then the scoundrels will endeavo

will be relieved of them.
