COOK FURTHER EXPLAINS.

Copenhagen, oct 1.-The announce
mcnt of Dr. Cooks willingness to re-
quest the University of Copenhagen to
waive its claim to the first examination
of the records of his journey to the
North pole causes keen disappointment
and, whatever may be the reply of the
university to the explorers request
present indications do not foreShadow
a graceful acquiesence on the part of
the general public. The rector of the
university in the course Of an inter
view today said:
NO such request has yet been re-
ceiVcd from Dr. Cook, and it is i'm
possible to say what attitude the uni
versty will take towards the suggeS-
ton that American and other scientif"
bodies shall first review the explorers
data. The action of the university WIN
depend upon the reason DIR. Cook
gives"
The rector considered that very
strong influences must have been
brought to bear upon DR.. Cook in order
to cause him to prefer such request.
The general public is inclined to be an
noycd at the suggestion that foreign
scientific bodies must first see the records.
The people consider the promise to give
the university here the first opport unity
of passing upon the records as nothing
but justice in view of the honors heaped
upon the explorer by both the university
and the Danish public and their ungruds
ing support and belief in his exploits.
Baltimore, oct 4.-Just before he left
his hotel for the theatre where he de-
livered lecture tonight, Or. Cook was
shown The Associated Press dispatch
from Copenhagen relative to his reported
intention to request the university of
that city to waive its claim of the first
examination of his records. After reading
the dispatch carefully he said:

success.

drowning while trying to save his
son, as did also another member of

Moses S. Parker was born on Harmon s
Greek in Benton County, Tenn Janua-
ry 81, 1885, and departed this life July
%, 1908, aged "A years, months and 20
days. Helived quiet, Industrious and
peaceful life. doing no one intentional
harm and always ready to forget and
forgive an injury.
His greatest pleasure was his home
and to toll for the comfort and pleasur
OF his loved ones and where his dear
kind face always had a welcome smile
for everyone. TO say that he will b.
missed does not half express the sad,
lonely feeling in our hearts. His going
has left a vacant place in our home thai
will makeour hearts ache as long as life
shall last, for he was all that could he
asked as kind and consider ate hus-
band and father and thoughtful and
helpful neighbor.
He bore his suffering with cheerful
ness and heroic patience, always telling
his sorrowing children he was better,
and if he didn't see them here any more
he would meet them in Heaven.
May God's richest blessing comic

PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
rise to remark that "Whippoorwill"
has broke lose again We don't know
who Whippoorwill is, but its generally
believed around Sandy that he is some
Camden politician doing the writing or
debating It. The letters of Wbippoor-
will have caused some amust mem here
because he tried to make us believe that
he was a Jarmack man, and at the same
time he was giving comfort to the other
crowd--the Pattersontes.
Mr.. Editor you must excuse us for
taking up yonr space, but we inst want
to tell Whippoorwil that for one time
he forgot to roast Doss Thomas for yot-
ing for the Statewide and the election
reform bills, which Patterson vetoed
and to praise Tate Rogers for staying
with the whisky gang n'the Legislature.
Sometimes Whippoorwill writes like
he had what we call the ''swell head, !"
and then We think may he he wants All

ing on Full Time.

Here is what the Memphis News
Scimitar says of one of Governor
Patterson's pardons, James Proud
tit, Crockett County horse thief;
"They gave him hearing and q
fair trial. There was no issue as to
his guilt. The trial was a mere
form. There were not even those
slight technicalities upon which to
ask for a new trial, or to secure a
reversal from that learned bench
of amiable and worthy king pins of
the law known as the Supreme
Court. So James got his. The
jury ordered him to the peniten-
tiary for term of fifteen years.
"The future looked dark for him;
yet with that calmness of resigna-
sion which man is bound to show
when he is up against the real
thing, James donned the stripes,
took his mum Der, and with tonsor-
ed head began his. prison life.
That wasa year ago. Today James
is again free man. He was,turn-
ed loose by the Governor Of Ten
nessee, to resume his old time oc-
cupation, having gained wisdom
doubtless from his past experience
es and cunning.
$50 far as we know, there was no
petition, asking for his release save
that submitted by his lawyer. So
far as we know, the people amongst
whom he was a marauder would
have preferred that he serve out
his full term. He was not in i'll
health; he had no old mother; he
had no children weeping upon the
doorstone Of a cottage. None OF
these. Yet he is free. Some in
scrutable wisdom, theguiding hand
of some influence of which we
known not the personnel, Opened
wide the door Of the prison to that
poor unfortunate wretch, and set
him freetogo and sin as ofteu as he
pleases-but don't, next time, have
the goods on you"
