Of Tuskegee by the people of Nashville
or Middle Tennessee, was witnessed
during the stay of the party here. A
reception committee, consisting of
about twenty-five enterprising men,
was at the station. There were doz-
en- well-drawn carriages and a great
big automobile in which these speak
ers and tourists were quickly ushered.
They were taken to the Delmonico
Restaurant where a repast "a six
o'clock dinner) was served. Covers
were laid for sixty people, including
the Washington party and tourists,
who were the guests of the occa-
sion, and the general committee. 1t
was just plain supper prepared by
the big-hearted people of Nashville and
arranged by the reception committee.
While no program had been prepared
and no attempt was made to desecrate
the Sabbath, enthusiasm was so high
and patriotism too genuine to prevent

have made most efacient ofaeaals:
men who are entirely agreeable TO
the patrons of the ofaces. and who
are strongly and Overwhelmingly sup
ported by everybody except the ma
chine. for re-appointmenI
It In said that the men whose
scaips they are after are those who
have shown themselves to have too
much character and manhood and
standing In their communities to suit
the purposes Of the machine. and
that they have selected for their sue
cessors men not their equals but men
who have been and will be willing
tools of the machine and obey orders
under all circumstances
One OF the men whom they seem
most anxious to remove, Ii In stated,
committed the objectionable offense
of being for Taft for President when
the machine was fighting him under
cover. The machine evidently con-
sidered IL a crime for any man In
North Carolina to dare to say he was
for Taft without the consent OF the
machine to do SO.
1t Is well known In the State that
the machine was in a conspiracy to
get an uninstructed delegation to
the National Convention that would
be sure to obey the bidding OF the
machine and that was known to be
against Taft, and that they continued
In this conspiracy until they were
forced from under cover and had to
get on the band-wagon In great haste
to save their political scalps.
1t Is said that the machine is hav-
ing some trouble at the Postofice De-
partment because of the high char
acter and efficient records and also
the popularity with the patrons of
the respective Offices of the men they
are trying to remove, and also be-
cause their candidates do not meas
ure up in any manner to such a
standard
1t is also said that the machine has
imported men recently into the towns
where the postoffices are located for
their candidates. On the other hand,
it is understood that some of the very
worst appointments in the public
service as postmasters the machine is
making strenuous efforts to try to
get re-appointed.
If the reports about public senti-
ment in those communities in North
Carolina, which comes here, is cor
rect, 1t Is clear that the machine Is
fighting desperately on it's last legs
and that its days are numbered: and,
1t is needless to say, that every Re
publican in North Carolina who
wants to see a strong, decent and
winning party In the State hopes and
prays for such a result.

peculiar mistakes. The Wilmington
Star adds two more to the list One
was the appointment OF John W.
Underwood, SON Of Representative
Underwood, of Cumberland County,
as a Justice of the Peace. The lad
is only eight years old and hence
not eligible for the Office. The 9TH
er is a bill to furnish arms and
equipment to the Fayetteville Mill
tary Company, out OF supplies in the
hands of the State Quartermaster,
when the State owns no such articles
and therefore cannot dispose of any
furnished by the Federal Govern
ment for the National Guard OF the
State. With the boast by the Dem
ocratic press that the best brain oil
that party is represented In legisla-
tive halls, such mistakes as above
and there are others, are TO say the
least. peculiar.
