\ few days ago the e Gazett'
published the following analysis of thu
new primary law of this state, which
will first be put into operation mex
fall.
In less than a year the law passet
by the last legislature, providing fol-
the direct nomination of candidates for
public office, will be put to a practica
test in this state. The law entirely
changes the system of nominations
tina has prevailed in this state from
the date of it's organization, with the
exception that nominations may still
old time state and equity conventions OF
political parties are a thing of the past
Very few have taken the trouble to
fami'iarize themselves with this new
law, and as it makes such radical
changes in the methods of nominating
candidates and the selection of those
to have charge of party organizations,
it is time the people began to a%cquaint
themselves with it's provisions. For
his purpose, we will give an outline
of the main features of the law.
Suppose John Smith desires to be-
come a candidate for governor, or for
any other state or district Office, con-
gressman or United States senator,
upon the republican, democratic, So
cialist or any other party ticket, he
must have qualified electors sub
scribe and swear to a nomination
paper in accordance with the form
set out in the statute. giving the
name of the candidate, his residence,
the office for which he seeks a nomi-
nation and the party principles he rep
resents. Such paper must be filed with
the secretary of state at least thirty
days before the first Tuesday in Sep
tember, the date of the general
primary.
To nominate any candidate for a state
office or United states senator to be
voted for either by the republican or
democratic parties, will require about
three hundred and fifty nomination
papers (three per cent of the party
vote) all signed and sworn to by
qualified electors and duly certified.
No elector can sign more than one
Sucn paper Tor the same ONCE. Each
ca indicate duly filed with the county
clerk. n special verification deputy or
deputies, who shall take n file a
prescribed oath, qualifying themselves
to take the signatures and swear the
electors signing the nomination papers
The papers must be arranged in
accordance with precincts and counties
and certified to by the county clerks
before fling with the secretary of
state. When the nomination papers
are filed. the candidate himself is also
required to file a prescribed affidavit
showing his qualification for a party
nomination. When the papers are
filed, candidates for a salaried state
office. congressman or United States
senator must deposit with the
secretary of state fifty dollars; for DIS
trict offices. twenty-five dollars. AN
didates for county office nominations
take a similar course, fling their pa
pers and affida Wit with the county clerk
and paying ten dollars. The money SO

Candidates for nomination for the
office of state enato or assembly

that if elected, he will vote Tor that

WILL ENTERTAIN LEAGUE DEL
EGATES.

Preparations are being made by
the business men of this city to en-
terrain the Alabama, Florida and
Georgia delegates to the National Ne
gro Business League, which closed
its session in Louisville to-day. A
special car of these delegates passed
through Nashville this week. They
were joined by the Nashville repre-
sentatives. They are expected to re-
turn tomorrow afternoon or to-mor-
row evening. Preparations or plans
were being perfected to-day by which
the entire party could be entertained
in Nashville. There are quite few
prominent business men together
with some professional men of ma
tional reputation in the party. There
are farmers from these three states
that till thousands of acres of soil,
that send to market hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of coun.
try produce each year. There are con
tractors who build houses represent
ing ISdch money. There are machin-
lists and blacksmiths that rank up
to the top of their class. There are
manufacturers and artisans. There are
bankers who were in Louisville attend
ing the National Negro Bankers AS
ISOLATION, also lawyers and doctors. In
all it will be a representative lot of
Negro business men, and the idea
is to have Nashville show the spirit
of the age by receiving them with
open arms and showing them Great
er Nashville and if possible make
them welcome, thereby advertising
one of the greatest cities in the
Union. These people will no doubt
spend some time looking over Nash
Vile to an advantage.

Work is progressing nicely on the
buildings at Greenwood Park for the
Tennessee Colored Fair which will be
held September q to rs inclusive,
and the general manager is spending
all his time in seeing that there will
be comfort for everything
The stables containing sixty stalls
have been completed and the sheds
for the hogs and sheep are Ander
way also the gate and ticket office
on the East side.
The Zoo which has some animals
already will be in full operation by
the opening of the Fair to the de-
light of the children.
Ground was broken Wednesday for
the race track, much needed fea-
ture of the park and an excellent base
ball diamond will be put in the cen
ter of the track in front of the Amphi
theatre.
Work on the Women's and Chill
dren's Building will begin next week.
There will be many attractions at
the fair. but it is the opinion of
many that there will be nothing Of
greater interest than a trained horse
that will be on the ground.
DR.. VIM Key, the world-renowned
horse trainer, has in Jim Key, Jr.,
sixteen months old colt that bids fair
if such a thing be possible, to surpass
Beautiful Jim Key" the smartest
horse in the world. Jim Key Jr
is a beautiful sorrel colt and shows
marked intelligence for one that has
been in training only three months
He opens the Metropolitan cash regis
ter and takes out the different pieces
He picks out any letter or number
called for by the audience, spells his
name, gets the mail out of the post
office. Perhaps the most remarkable
feat is to go to the bottom of a large
bucket of water and get a silver dol
lar from the bottom without drinking
a drop of the water DR.. Key tied a
blue rag around one of Jim Key, Jr.'s
ankles and a white one around his
other ankle, and asked any one to call
for the color of rag wanted and the
colt would reach as far back with his
mouth as possible and then bring his
foot forward so he could get the
rag in his mouth. and he reached for
the color called for every time An
other trick the colt does A rope
is stretched across the ground
and he will go over the rope or I'M
der the rope just as he is ordered to
do. Jim Key, Jr., during his three
months training, has accomplished
as wonderful things as Old Jim Key ac-
complished in twelve months. Dr.
Key regards Jim Key Jr., as a great
prodigy in horse flesh and he bids fair
to outstrip "Old Jim Key" who every
body regards as the greatest educated
horse in the world.
1t is fair to state that an article
published recently in the Chattanooga
Times, in regard to DR.. VIM Key and
Beautiful Jim Key was largely incoI-
rect and does Dr. Key an injustice
A number of things spoken of in that
article about DR. Keys experience
while in Chattanooga and about his
travels with Jim Key were wrong.
Among other inaccuracies the article
stated that Beautiful Jim Key was
owned by a man in New York and that
the horse was now in that city and had
been put On the pension roll the bal,
ance of his life. The fact is the horse
is owned by DR.. VIM Key and always
has been Jim is now 22 years old
and will not be able to travel any

w. A. Lewis, of this city, who is
Secretary of the Correctional Preach
er's Aid Society, of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, had
narrow escape Friday night. No. 81,
the fast train between st. Louis and
Nashville, south-bound on the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad, was de-
rallied near Adams Station about 7
o'clock. The engine four coaches and
one sleeper left the track and the ten
der overturned Two men in a day
coach were injured, but it is not
thought seriously. Spreading rails
were the cause of the wreck.
The st. Louis train, which is due
to arrive in Nashville at 1925 o'clock,
was behind time and was running al
the rate of forty-five miles an hour
when the accident occurred When
the huge engine left the track it re.
manned upright, but the track was
torn up for about a hundred yards.
The train is a popular one with tray
elers and handles a large volume Of
traffic. AT the rate of speed the train
was going and from the appearance
of the track after the wreck it seems
almost miracle that no one was
killed outright.
The three passengers injured were
not considered to be seriously and
both were reported as resting easy.
One received an injury to his hip and
the other received slight bruises.
Immediately following the wreck
dispatches were sent to Nashville,
Evansville, Ind, and Paris, Tenn, and
wreckers we're sent TO the scene. The
wrecking crew from Nashville reached
Adams Station shortly after II o'clock
Tuesday night. The three crews
worked hard all night, and by o'clock
Wednesday morning the track had
been completely repaired and the
coaches placed upon it.
The night trains running over the
line were delayed, but the st. Louis
train, No. So, due to arrive in Nash
vile about o'clock in the morning,
and the GAINESVILLE Accommodation
No. SO, were only twenty or thirty
minutes behind the regular schedule
time
No. SO brought the passengers of
the wrecked train to Nashville this
morning with the exception of the
men who received injuries, and they
were placed in a Pullman, which was
attached to the GAINESVILLE Accommo-
dation, and brought to this city.
DR.. Lewis went to meet with COM
mission that was appointed at the last
session of the Board of Trustees of
Turner Normal College to look out
for new sight for that school. The
institution is now located at Shelby
vile, but there seems to be much dis
satisfaction as to the present site on
the part of large majority OF the
members of the Board The people of
GAINESVILLE having learned of this dis
satisfaction sent communication to
the board at their last meeting in
which they made what was considered
by many to be very fattering offer
to the trustees if they would move the
school to that point, The Negroes
themselves offer a bonus of $500 in
cash, and Dr. Lewis said that they also
assured the commission that the white
people would also offer substantial in
ducements.
Nashville, it is understood, will also
make strong bid for the school. 1t
appears that if the institution is
moved from Shelbyville the new loca-
ton will rest between GAINESVILLE and
this city,

Mayor erinstead's Address.

Mayor Grinstead made the address
of welcome on behalf of Louisville.
His speech, in part, follows:
ut gives me great pleasure to well
come such noble representatives of
a rising race to Louisville l hope
that your deliberations will be mu-
tually profitable.
"Such organizations as this among
any people are the lire Of business,
and it is an encouraging sign when
any body of men come together in a
meeting of this kind. Now, my
friends, l want to say that the people
of your race in Louisville are fortu-
nate in having the privilege of enter
tanning you. want to assure you
that the first speaker was right when
he said the good white people and the
good colored people are in elbow
touch with each other, and they are
going to stay there. Once more, we
welcome you"
Prof A. H. Meyzeek, principal of
the Eastern Colored School,; DR.. G.
H. Parrish and Albert S. White de-
livered welcome addresses. They
were responded to by S. Lang Will
Jams and Charles Banks. A. N.
Johnson, of Mobile, offered a motion
that the speakers receive a vote of
thanks, and it was adopted.
c.. A. Naper, of Lynchburg, o.,
spoke. He gave an account of how
successful he had been in farming
and advised his people to stay on the
farm.
