had ever seen so many white republi-
cans gathered together, and the crowd
let out roar. He said that he was
going around denying that his state

respect for constituted authority.

rider is a good American citizen when

The governor paid a tribute to Presi-
dent Taft just to show what southern
Oratory could do in o contest.
"If we had to have republican
president" he said, "we know of no
man who is so well fitted by training
and personal acquaintance with the

An attractive program was planned
and executed before the three hundred
and more visitors, who represented
many denominations, as the club men,
bership is not restricted to members Of
Munsey Church.
AT 7:30 J. M, Ferguson, president Of
the club, called for order, and a prayer
of invocation was said by the Rev. J.
A. Ruble.
The first selection was piano duet
by Mrs. J. A. Cargille and Fred Peo-
pies, an excellently we'll rendered piece.
This was followed by recitations by
Mrs, w. b. Johnson, who enjoys quite
a local reputation as an elocutionist.
Mrs. Chas. Cargille rendered solo in
very sweet voice and manner.
A violin solo by Frank Gilmer was
the next feature, followed by a harp
and song duet by Masters Chas. Broyles
and Garnet Vaught. Miss Nugent
gave an excellent rendition of "The
Bells" Messrs. Charles and Walter
Cargille, J. M. Horton and D. r. Var

some excellent quartette singing.
| J. r. Gardner followed in very in
teresting and inspiring ten minutes
talk. Arthur Earnest sang the comic
song "On the Road TO Mandalay," F"
whichwas greatly enjoyed. The pastor
followed with few remarks and a
solicitation for some additional funds
to buy furniture and Equipment. Mr.
Vaught further stated that the compile
ton Of this club in connection with his
church work was the realization of one
of his life ambitions. This club is an
innovation and departure from the
regular church work. Following Mr..
.Vaught, S. q. Williams addressed the
audience, commenting the movement
and its possible influence for good.
After this the closing exercites followed
with song and benediction.
The club has membership near the
century mark and is composed of big
folks and little folks from several other
denominations. The night school, un-
der Prof. Hough, already has quite a
number of pupils. The gymnasium
will have experienced instructors. Tive
shower baths have been installed and
an effort will soon be made TO collect
books for library.
Mrs. f. r. ST. John is in charge OF
the ladies' branch of the club, and
especial days will be given to them.

Gov. Patterson, of Tennessee, who
held down the democratic end of the
head table with Mr.. Littlton and Mr.
Post, gave an exhibition by himself as
one of the preliminaries. The governor
seemed delighted to have chance to
show what he could have done if he
had only been here in time to compete,
and the crowd gave him great sendoff.
The governor said that he didn't often
