DELIVERED BEFORE
LARGE AUDIENCE.
FRIENDSBEC0ME ENTHUSEI
For Pore English, Force of Expres-
sion and Defiant Dignity it
has Never Been Equa1led.

Ny Felow-Citizens-For the second
time have been called to be the chief
magistrate of this commonwealth, and
my sense of appreciation is very deep
for the confidence which a generous
people have bestowed.
The responsibilities and obligations
which | again assume are serious and
potential for good or evil, and l know
that as they are bravely borne and
worthily met will be the real honor
and true distinction.
In my first administration of the af-
fairs of the state have felt, and do
now feel, just measure of pride, and
its Endorsement by the people has been
far above and beyond the qualification
of an ambition to be the governor of
Tennessee.
In the last two years our state has
steadily and surely progressed, and the
impulse of forward movement has
been felt throughout her borders.
In the midst of money panic, which
brought confusion and dismay to other
sections, we conducted our usual af-
airs, scarcely affected by the stress, and
emerged with credit mistaken, the
confidence of the people unimpaired,
their happiness and prosperity undi-
minished.
The ability of our people to safely
pass these dangers and their security
from the unhappy conditions which
threatened to engulf others did moi
come of sudden departures from estab-
lished customs and precedents, but was
the certain outgrowth of wise, safe and
conservative legislation, and an admin
istration of such affairs untainted by
scandal, as it was unaffected by the
idle winds Of criticism and detraction.
Fiscal Affairs.
The fiscal condition of Tennessee is
better than ever in the last half century
of her existence.
We are gradually retiring our debt,
which has long been heavy burden
to our people, and we have ceased tC
create new obligations TO embarrass
the enterprise and to retard the growth
OF the state

Good Had Come
From War.

Petersburg, Va, May 19.-Presi-
dent Taft was today the guest of
both the states of Pennsylvania and
virginia at which time he delivered
an address at Fort Malone, following
the unveiling of the monument and
statue To Gen. John Il. Hartranft,
which was erected by the state of
Pennsylvania TO the memories of the
soldiers who fell in the fight on the
battle fields around Petersburg dur
ing the civil war. And later he be-
came the guest of the city at a lunch
con and reception given in his honor.
The governors of the two states,
large delegations of the Grand Army
posts and a host of Confederate vet
Grams, and a number of other promi-
nent organizations and distinguished
persons were present during the days

favored by an almost cloudless sky.

SAWTflLE TO
APPEAL THE CASE
Lad Accused of Swatting Harry Alb
bott With Bucket in Row at "a
Fire, Under Bond.

The case of Marion Sawtelle, who
is accused of hitting Harry Abbott
with ten pound lard bucket during
a fire on North First street Monday
evening, was called in the court of
Justice Craig's this morning. Saw
telle was held under 500 bond and
his attorney, Harry Owen. after pro-
viding the bond, announced that he
would try the case in the district
court if necessary.
Extensive testimony was taken this
morning. and the details OF the fight
as brought out reveaIed several am
using incidents. Abbott was playing a
garden hose upon burning straw
pile behind barn. which was also
on fire, and Sawtelle was bringing
buckets of water to aid the fire de-
partment. Abbott succeeded in
drenching his assistant, and words
followed. When the water from the
hose again struck Sawtell playfully in
the face, it is said, he threw bucket
and struck Abbott just under the left
eye. inflicting severe confusion.
Abbott stated that an express driver
slipped up behind and directed the
water from the hose into Sawtelle's
face. The express driver appeared
in his own behalf and was quite in
dignant. He said that he had started
To assist Abbott and that in his opin-
ion some maliciously inclined person
had come up behind him and guided
the nose with disastrous results.
Among the witnesses were Joseph
NJ. Doolittle of the Albuquerque Lum-
ber company, who witnessed the me-
lee from a fence across the alley,
where he was wIrking, and Miss
Josephine Martinez, an interested
spectator. who was greatly aroused
by the stirring scene. J. Cnauvln, who
employs Sawtelle,- stated that the boy
was always quiet, well behaved and
good worker and was surprised at
his reported conduct.
Abbott, who is an usher at the
Crystal theatre, appeared with a
bandaged head and much arnlca.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
At SAN MARC|AL
Gallant and Hard Work of Volunteers
save Destruction of Entire
Town

san Marciai, n. NJ, May 10
Shortly after l o'clock this morning
flames We're discovered issuing from
the rear of the Tingley furniture store
IN the Broyles block, the principal
business structure in this city
The volunteer firemen quickly re-
sponded to the alarm, which was
turned in, and with the excellent wa
ter pressure furnished by the Santa
re railway made a gallant and sue
cessful fight TO confine the fire and
prevent the destruction Of the block.
At , this morning the fire was re-
ported under control though still
burning. the Tingley furniture store
was entirely gutted and Jones restau-
rant adjoining was badly damaged
The Postal telegraph office was To-
Gated in the Tingley store and its de-
struction interrupted wire communI-
cation north and south.
1t is believed that the loss Is fully
covered by insurance. Too much can
not be said for the good work of the
volunteer fire department, which un-
doubtedly saved the town from a dis
astrous conflagration, and possibly
from total destruction. The origin of
the fire is mystery and there are
those among the street crowd watch
ing the fire, who profess to believe
mat IL was the work of incendiaries
The total loss as near as can at this
time be estimated will be between
$4,000 and $4,000 and is divided be-
tween Jones restaurant, Central Ho-
tel King Wilson & Co.. pool room;
j. E. Nichols barber shop, in addition
to the loss of the Tingley Furniture
