REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

In marked contrast to the stormy
scenes which two years ago character
lied the contest between the Repub
lican lilly whites and the black and
tans was the peaceful and harmonious
ASSEMBLY of the G. o. P. here last Sat.
urday. With the elimination OF
'cuffy" came simultaneously the ELI
nation Of strife and turmoil. The
Republican convention here last week,
while not large body for its personnel
would compare favorably with any
held here in recent years. Not soli-
tary negro, once the pampered pet
and the main asset Of the Republican
party of the South,p put in an appear
ance. This If proof conclusive, were
any lacking, that the negro has for
saken the party that freed him for
Patterson-liquor wing Of the Demo-
cratic party. We should not be sur
prised II the entrance Of the negroes
in a body into the Patterson fold were
not made the signal for the exit of a
large number of respectable white
men from the Democratic party.
In the main aside from the
and partisan fiambuoyancy |
which usually characterize such docu-

TIE COOPER CASE.

Delay in deciding the Cooper muir
der case is doubtless responsible fol
the rumors that the opinion will be
held up by the Supreme Court until
after the Democrats have nominated
their candidates for the bench. For
several days the hotel corridors, the
Hobbies and other places frequently
visited by politicians in Nashville
have been ripe with reports of this
character 1t is stated that the men,
bers of the Supreme Court feel that
they are betwixt the devil and the
deep blue sea; they will be damned
by one side or the other no matter
how they may decide the Cooper
case This is doubtless true but it
does not warrant a continuance Of the
case.
We shall be very much disappointed
in the Supreme Court il it does not
decide this case before the present
term ends It is unthinkable that a
high court of Tennessee could get
its consent to make a political foot
ball Of one of the foulest murder cases |
that ever blackened the records of |
this old commonwealth. It is incum- |
bent upon every public official to do
his duty no matter what the conse-
luences may be. Upon the Supreme
Court rests heavy responsibility; it
should not, il must not shirk it. Rob-
art E. Lee trutEfully said that Duty
S the sublimest word of the Eng
ish language The man who does
lis duty will succeed where others
all. The consciousness of duty done
will compensate for the loss of lit
he political prestige or popularity.
If the members of the Supreme
,ourt shall continue the Cooper case
merely that their political fortunes :
nay be subserved, those responsible
hould be defeated for reelection.
he people of Tennessee should tell c
hem in thunder that human life is :,
lore sacred than official tenure; that ;
lurder, cold blooded, deliberate pre- .
leditated assassination, shall not be
lade the pawn Of political game. =
ye cannot believe the Supreme Court =
i'll prove so recreant to its duty; so ;,
ithless to its high trust; so I'M
orthy of the peoples confidence T.
at its members will take the course q
by the rumor. On the ;,
ntrary it is our candid judgment -
at the present term at Nashville ~

IS been pronounced against Dune 10

II is evident that our friend. Ed
to-Colonel Carter, Of the Lewisburg
Tribune, doth dwell much on military
glory for he tells us that the Demo
cratic party "is the party Of the Con.
federacy." And he solemnly tells US
that this is the reason why direct pri-
maries are un-Democratic. The Colo

THE SCHOOL LEVY.

No more important question ha
ever engaged the consideration Of thu
County Court of this county thar
the school levy which will be deter
mined on next Monday. Upon the re
suit of the courts action depends in
a very large measure the future OF
the school interests of the county
This is a time of progress and ad
vancement People now as never be-
fore realize and recognize the import
ance of education. The boy or girl
who must begin life's duties and res
possibilities without an education is
sadly handicapped.
Public education is an investment,
the best paying investment that the
State can make. Where the largest
per capita wealth is found there
also is found the largest per capita
expenditures for education. Or to
state the matter more correctly the
experience of history teaches that the
people who are best educated have
the largest earning capacity.
Maury county is the richest county
in Tennessee in natural sources but
it has measured up to its full RESPONSE 1
bility in the matter of providing facil |
ties for the education of its people. |
This county ought to be first in edu-
cational progress; it is among the
last in the State. It is time that
new and better record was made.
There is no longer occasion for de-
ay.
The tax levy committee of the
county court has taken long step
Onward. 1t has proposed a levy that
will raise sufficient funds to give
very boy and girl in the county eight
months school no matter how remote
hey may live from the centers of
population. And this is as it should

This county must have high in

The result of the judicial primary
can hardly be construed as an en-
dorsement OF the old fashioned wide
open election. The candidates who
stood for legal restrictions at the bal
lot box were the victors and we shall
probably not again have a wide open
affair in this section.

SAME OLD FRAUD.

the Democratic State machine has OF
Tended decency. discounted honesty
and all but destroyed the Democratic
party in Tennessee.
Let no Democrat be deceived, the
plan has been so arranged and the ma.
chinery so secured that fair and hon.
est expression of the popular will is
impossible.
The primary will register the impe-
rial decree of Malcolm R. Patterson,
regardless of the wishes of the Demo
cratic voters.
All who enter the primary do so
with the full knowledge of its fraud
ulent character; they place their De-
mocracy and their citizenship in the
keeping of Ban Murray, Spill Hill, Aus
tin Peay and the most desperate gang
OF political cut throats that free
State ever harbored.
The circle of sovereignty is complete
in Patterson.
The committee which perpetrated
this latest and most damnable outrage
upon free people is the creature of
one man.
Patterson appointed eleven Of the
twenty-one members; the other ten
were elected by Ban Murray, for he
appointed every delegate who voted
for the state committee at the con-
vention two years ago.
So far as The Herald is concerned it
calls its soul its own; it answerable to |
no single political pirate; 1t yields
obedience to no political machine; it t
has no respect whatever for the man
dates of a committee no one of whom
bears the commission of the Demo n
cratic voters of Tennessee. ?
No fair minded, liberty loving Dem Il
ocrat can defend the action Of the COM n
mittee.
The Herald is free born American m
citizen who loves truth and honor and "
fair dealing and it will never stultify ia
itself by yielding professed obedi- w
ence to the decree Of a committee tn
that at the behest of one man has vio- -

'acy and of fair dealing; that has w

BROCK, Neb., May 22.-(Specal)-In
the game between Peru Normal and Brock,
Gary pitched the first no-hit game ever
seen on the local diamond and would have
had shut out but for poor support in
the first inning. He had the entire Brock
team at his mercy at all times, only one
ball being hit out of the diamond and
that was gathered in by Essut in right
field. On the other hand, the Peru team
hit when they pleased and after the first
inning had the game cinched.
Blackstone furnished the fire works in
the fielding line by throwing the runner
out at first on what was an apparently
safe hit to right, thereby saving Gary his
record of no hits.
Gary was the bright spot of the game,
for besides having Brooks batters BANKED
he hit safely for three singles and one
also hit safely four out of five times. The
