MURFREEseoRo,s LAMENT.

The prospects of Murfreesboro be.
ing selected as the place for the State
Normal is at present very gloomy on
account of the failure of the City Coun-
Gil in making an increased appropria-
+, ton. They made grievous mistake
in turning down the $4,000 PROPOSE
ton. While Murfreesboro has all the
other necessary advantages to secure
the school, her cash offer is woefully
small compared with that of other
contestants. We can hardly expect
the locating committee to overlook the
large money appropriations of other
towns and turn them down for Muir
freesboro. Columbia, has offered the
Athenaeum property valued at $780,
900, and has appropriated $4,000, in
addition to the 100000 given by the
county. Other towns have done the
same thing, leaving Murfreesboro and
Rutherford county behind in this par
ticular. We regret this condition and
1t seems too late to do any more.
If we lose the school, we can only
ascribe 1t to the fact that other towns
were more liberal with their money
than we. II is unnecessary to say that
we are greatly disappointed as 1t was
thought we had the school cinched for
certainty. "Twas ever thus from
childhood's hour, etc" However. we
are in the fight yet, II everybody will

THE vENDoME MEETING.

Regarding the conference of state
wide Democrats to be held at Nash
vile on September DIST, the Knox
vile Sentinel very appropriately
says:
Temperance democrats will hold a
conference in Nashville on September
81 This viii not be a convention,
nor binding in any sense on those
who attend It is entirely proper for
those who believe the laws already
passed should be maintained TO meet
and confer as to the best plan to pur-
sue. Efforts will. without doubt, be
made to repeal the temperance and
election laws. The advocates of
this legislation ought to support can
didates who are pledged to the reform
end who may be depended upon to
fight against the passage of any re-
PEEL acts. The temperance and cleo
tion laws recently passed will, I'M
occasionally, be the issues in the
coming campaign and it is time candi-
dates were being discussed
Maury county has always stood for
law enforcement. and her citizen
ship compares fayorably with that of
any county of the state. Maury coun-
ty can be depended on to support
any forward movement and an or
ganized effort to prevent the repeal |
of the prohibition laws can be class
ed as such. This county should send /
a good delegation Of representative
men to Nashville to attend the Ven
dome meeting. To insure this repre-
sentation the preliminary meeting to
be held in Columbia September
sixth should be well attended.

is the closest afiliation which he has

Il Is with genuine pleasure that we
learn Of the success full deal whereby
F. D. Lander and E. R. Farrell OF
Columbia, get possession Of the Hat
tiesburg News. the only newspaper in
the enterprising Mississippi town Of
$4,000.
Mingled with the delight we feel
over their successful financial venture
is a feeling of regret that Tennessee
journalism is to lose two men
who have figured so prominently in
shaping the destiny OF the state and
woulding public opinion for honesty
and cleanliness.
Mr.. Lander is president of the State
Press Association and has been in the
newspaper field for many years. He
has always been on the side of moral
ity and truth and while editor of the
Tennessean recently was power for
good throughout the state.
He is one of the purest and best
men in the state apd Tennessee suf- |
fers a distinct loss in his removal to
Mississippi.
Mr.. Farrell,toO, through the Column

political campaign with distinction
and while we do not know him so

him because of the company he keeps
