John Sharp In Chicago.
Chicago Record-Herald)

John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi, for years minority
leader of the House of Represen-
tatives, arrived in Chicago yes
terday with expressions of near
regret over the fact that he re-
tired from the lower house of
Congress to become United States
Senator.
When asked the reason for
his feeling Of near sorrow, the
Democratic leadar declared that
the people of the Uunited States
were about to elect a Democratic
House, and that, had he bided
the time, he could have been ell
ected Speaker to succeed his long
time adversary, Joseph 9. Can
nou, of Illinois.
Il got out too soon;" said the
new senator, +" for as sure as
you're alive we Democrats are

Like A Piano Lamp.

A young merchant recently
presented to his better half an
elaborate piano lamp. He was
much f1attered when she told him
she intended to give it his name,
until he asked her the reason for
so peculiar a proceeding.
"Well,' said she, you know
dear, it has a good deal of brass
about it; it is handsome to look
at; requires deal of attention;
is remarkably brilliant; is some
times unsteady on its legs; liable
to explode when only half full;
flares up occasionally; it is always
out at bed time, and is bound to

A Fallen Lucifer.

There is being sent out from
Republican state headquarters an
eight-page pamphlet, a copy of
which we have before us, con-
tanning nothing but utterauces
from Mr.. Carmack. 1t contains
his letters to Gov. Patterson and
various editorials he has written
since Gov. Patterson's nominal
ton. The Republican campaign
managers have had this pamphlet
printed and are using it as a
Republican campaign document,
sending it to Democrats they
think will be influenced by it to
vote the Republican ticket This
Republican campaign document,
which is being used by the Evans
Sanders party in the interest of
their man Tillman, the Republi
can nominee, against the Dem
ocratic nominee, was written by
the man who was fairly defeated
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, who said in a speech
in his debate with Gov. Patterson:
Governor, if nominated, which
God forbid, | will advocate your
election on any platform the
Democratic party may put you on.
because | believe any Democrat
is better than any Republican"
Has Mr.. Carmack kept his
promise? Has he redeemed his
pledge? Has he honored his own
obligation?If so, when and where
What has he said in behalf of the
nominee? What has he done to
help the Democratic ticekt? Has
not every word he has uttered
and every line he has written
been intended as an injury to the
ticket? What is to be thought of
a man who processes to be a
Democrat, who made the promise
we have quoted to his competitor
before an audience of Democrat,
and who, instead of reedeeming
it, has been writing campaign
material, net for Democrats, but
for Republicans, who are using it
in pamphlet form and circulating
it where they think it will do
most to aid in defeating the Dem
ocratic ticket and placing the
Republican party in power in
Tennessee?
Is there any need to ask Dem
ocrats what they think of Mr..
Carmack's course? Is there any
need to ask the thousands of
genuine Democrats who voted
for him for governor in the pri-
mary what they think of his fatal
folly and how much they regret
it-regret it not only as Demo-
Gratis, but as individuals who
have admired the man and who
never expected to see the day
when he would pursue the mad
course he is now following and
write articles which Republicans
naturally use as campaign materi-
al in the effort to defeat the
party which has highly honored
Mr.. Carmack and to which he has
so often professed loyalty and de-
votion Nashville American.

The present price of cotton
does not offer very enticing in
ducements to the farmers, but
the wise farmer will not hold
his crop and take the chances
on a still further decline. The
best policy is to sell your crop
as fast as it is gathered and pay
your debts with the proceeds. If
you owe no debts hold your cot
ton until the price is satisfactory
and if it goes down nobody is
hurt but yourself.

Cotton Ruled Lowest Under
McKinley.

We have heard several farm
ers say that while they expected
to vote for Bryan they were fear
full that his election might bring
about a depression in business
and that cotton would decline
far below it's present price. For
the benefit of those who enter
tain such idle fears we will be-
low give some figures that will
prove that the election of a re-
publican cannot have the effect
of bolstering cotton prices nor
benefiting trade. Beginning
with Mckinley, who was the
man the business interests of the
country fully endorsed, and who
nearly doubled the vote in Mis-
sissippi in 1900 that Roosevelt
got in 1904, we will give the av-
erage price of cotton obtained by
the farmer during the years Mr..
Mckinley was president:
YEAR. NO. BALES LOWEST HIGHEST
1896 7,157,346 liz 8
1897 S.757,964 7 SIS
1898 11,199.994 53-4 713-16
1899 II, 274,S4O 55-16 65-S
1900 9,436, 416 STA 101-4.
With but two exceptions, the
years 1912 and 1945, cotton never
reached the low prices that figur-
ed during the Mckinley admins
tration. During the years 1912
and 1916 the price of cotton drop
ped to 5 cents. With these two
exceptions there has never been
such low prices as was witnessed
during the administration of Nj 4.
Mckinley, a republican that be-
lieved in high protective taraff
and who was fully endorsed by
the great business interests of
country. The man who feels
that he is helping himself in a
business or pecuniary way by
voting the republican ticket
should study the above table and
disabuse his mind of such non
sense.

southern California and was accom-
