building at Memphis for ten years.
He was friend to the young men
of Benton County, and more than
three scores Of our boys are filing
good positions now in Memphis
through his aid and influence.
The announcement of his death
was received with sorrow by his
friends here and elsewhere.
Mr.. j Jeffreys was operated on last
September, but he found it neces-
sary to undergo a second operation
in January. He decided to go to
Chicago, and remained in sani-
tarium in that city for six weeks
after the operation. Since he re-
turned to Memphis he had not
been able to resume active duties.
He is survived by his widow and
two children, James Lowell JEFF
freys, aged 2l, who is employed in
the customs department of the
Government at Memphis, and Re
ba, aged 8 years. The funeral was
held at the Presbyterian Church
in Memphis Saturday.
Mr. Jeffreys was born in Clinton
County, Ky, April z, 1858. His
early life was passed on the farm.
He studied law and medicine, but
never practiced in either profess
sion. He was q travelling sales
man for several years, with head
quarters at Nashville.
In 1880 he made Camden his
home, aud married Miss Eva Nc
Elyea in 1886. He was engaged
severalyearsin the mercantile bus
mess in Camden, and for a short
while published the Vidette, a Re-

He held the position of United
States Marshal few months, re-
signing to accept position III the

District. He was a member Of the
memorable Turney- Evan guberna-
torial contest committee, and in
1896 was a delegate at large from
Tennessee to the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
The following year he was APP
pointed by President Mckinley to
position in the land department
as allotting agent. He resigned
this to accept the chairmanship OF
the Ute Indian Com mission, with
headquarters at Fort Duehesne
Utah.
In 1898 he opened the Uncom.
pahgne Indian Reservation, le-
signing in July, 1898, to accept the

ALWAYS A REASON.
Whether he openly expressesit it
or not, no man of average intelli-
gence ever does or declines to do a
thing without a reason for or mo-
tive in his actions.
"Our present Governor today
occupies his high official position
by virtue of the votes of thousands
of workingmen and farmers he has
practically disfranchised.
"Is our Governor afraid-his Off
cial record will not meet the APP
proval of the men who gave him
the office?
"Seems SO, doesn't it?
>"But it matters not what the
Governor may have III his mind ON
the all-important matter, the Office
of Governor belongs to the com
mon voters of Tennessee, and they
alone have the right to say who
shall, from time to time, fill the
chair.

at may be that our present Gov
ernor has good and sufficient rea-
sons entirely satisfactory to him-
self-for changing his views as 10
the direct vote PLAN But the same
people who placed him in that high
Office adhere to the same principle
they did when they voted for him
in 1906, and are sorely disappoint-
ed at his attitude in the matter, to
say the least.
"The average workingman and
farmer have neither the time nor
inclination to figure out practical
political policies. They are too
busy producing the necessities,
comforts and luxuries Of life for
the more fortunate members of
the human family, aud entrust
their interests to men to whom
they have reason to believe will
deal fairly with them.
Its quite an easy matter to de-
ceive them, of course, but it is at
the same time sinful to the ex-
treme, and the time may yet come
when they will be given that OPP
portunity they have for SO many
years hoped, begged and prayed
for"

Mr.. Jeffreys was reappointed by

of his election also.
