Mr.. Shay, q sanitary inspector. was
in town Wednesday and visited no.
tells, restaui ants, grocery stores, soft
drink emporiums, meat shops. and
other places dealing In foods and
drinks, and made a thorough inspec-
ton. He ordered some Of the meat
shops and restaurants cleaned up, but
did not order the arrest Of any one
here. He examined ice boxes, and
looked over the premises carefully,
with view to ascertalning whether
the laws as to sanitary conditions
were being violated. It seems his du-
ties require him to investigate as to
foods Of various kinds, and the gro
Gerry stores and meat shops were CIV
en- the same careful attention that the
restaurants received.
The inspector visits each town from

Fourth. Mr.. Hickey reads a state
ment from A. C. Faubieon to the ef-
feet that years ago made a statement
lin q political speech in the town Of
Newport that did not want the votes
lof old Confederates; that they could
all 90 to hell or Texas; that the most
Of them would go to hell, and that
they they ought to go, and that their
votes would be a disgrace to me.
This statement bears it's own Iefu-
tation on its face. No man other than
raving maniac could have made such
statement. Such thoughts as those
quoted never passed through my mind
in my life and were never uttered by
me. When ! read that statement I
felt outraged to the point Of express
ing a severe opinion OF q man who
viii stoop to such pusillanimous POLL
tics, but viii content myself by say
ing that l never made the statement
referred to or one of similar import,
publicly or privately, in Newport or
elsewhere. II Mr.. Hickey, or his man
Faubicon, will name the date of such a
speech, l ~ill prove by every other
man present the falsity OF the alleged
statement.
Il was warned some days ago that
the machine, in its desperation, would
engage in campaign of SANDER and
vituperatioD; this prediction is now
being verified.
Fifth. Mr.. Hickey discusses my
early life and matters Herewith con-
nected. This is another matter that
l have refrained from discussing. l

nessee was more concerned as to what

these statements are true.

HOHENNALD, Tenn, Oct. 2O-Tws
conventions of the Twentieth Senate
rial district we're held here yesterday
and two candidates nominated. The
regular Democrats endorsed the rec
ord of Senator Greer in the last Leg
islature AMI nominated him for an
other term. The Patterson Democr ats
endorsed the Taylor platform and
nominated DR.. Bledsoe Brown, OF
Maury county.
Both conv ention will doubtless Diaks
the claim CT regularity although 1t IL
conceded that the issue will cut very
little figure in the campaign for the
Senate. However, the Greer conven-
ton has the best of the argument on
the question of regularity"
The Greer convention was called to-
gether by the chairmen of both fac.
lions Of the Democratic party in Per-
ry county. Side by side DR.. Hinson,
the chairman Of the so-called "Inde-
pendent" Democratic committee Of
Perry county, and Mr.. Bell, the chair.
man Of the Patterson County Commit
tee of that county, sat and called the
meeting to order. The call for the
convention was issued by the two
chairmen above mentioned and by
James A. Smiser, the unQuestioned
regular chairman of Maury county.
The Patterson or Brown conven.
tion was called to order by Chairman
Beard, Of Lewis county. 1t was par
ticipated in by John M Burns, Of the
Patterson or boiling Maury county |
committee There are five so-called |
Democratic county chairmen in the
three counties of the district. Three
of them joined in the call for the con-

The convention which nominated
Greer met first and was called to or

Ebans. GOf Champion

Many celebrities in the world of sport discovered the game that brought them success through mere accident This IS true of Charles ("Chick') Evans, western golf champion who won his proud distinction when little more than IS years old.
 Young Chick" with his parents. moved to Rogers Park when he was 1nly years old. As fate would have IL. Evans new home was only one block from the Edgewater Golf club A boy who lived next door sought Evans acquaintance and gave him the first description of golf he had ever heard. This boy enlarged upon the financial advantages of being a caddy and showed the future w. G. A. cham pion the first golf. ball he had ever seen.
 Hearkening to the glowing accounts of money to be made, young Evans set out to earn his fortune carrying golf clubs. With the first money he earned he purchased cleek and tried to play the game as he saw the more experi- enced golfers play it.
 In 1907 Evans wor the city cham pionship at Jackson park and took the interscholastic honors a few weeks later. These victories, however, were overlooked by the critics. and it was thought he would sink out of sight when he entered the big tournaments competing against the more seasoned golfers from the big courses.

DebelOpmenf Of
 Baseball Players.

While there seems to be no system
 for developing baseball players in the
 professional ranks to-day by constant
 practice in the departments of throw
 ing. batting and base running. it is
 certain that the colleges give consid-
 erable time and attention to the incul-
 cation of these essentials in the player.
 It is for this purpose that many 1f
 the larger universities in the country secure the services of well known
 players on the big league teams. But as soon as the college player who has attracted attention becomes a member of one of the professional teams this building-up scheme in the various es- sentials of the game as a systematic part of his training ceases.
 He joins the professional ranks with only that knowledge which has been acquired during an interval extending from one to four seasons, and very brief seasons they are. for the reason that summer vacations put an end eacn year to the work of the college teams.
 Practice of this kind should never cease. In the colleges the man who has played for four years on the team is compelled. no less than the first-year man. to undergo the daily practice grind of base-running and sliding. bat ting. bunting and quick starts in sprinting, which are aids in developing fast starting and fast running base runners.
 Constant practice in any line of en- deavor is the only way in which to add to ones proficiency. The bilhardist cannot afford to do no playing aside from his match games. The intervals between them must be utilized in per- fecting his play. The same thing ap- plies to the baseball player. Two pr three times is the most that the av- craze professional gets to the bat dur ing a game This is absolutely use less insofar as keeping in practice is lie should have pitchers delivering to him every day IL is quite possible for a week to go by and in none of the games that week may a player reach first base. In conse- quence. unless a brief time is set apart each day for the practice of base run hing and sliding. that player has abso- lutely no means of acquiring pro- ficiency in one of the most important features of the game.
 The outfielder may play game after game without getting a fly knocked out his way. He really gets no opportunity to receive any practice worthy of the name in throwing to a base or the home plate in order to cut off base runner. In nine cases out of ten, when lies are batted out to fielders during a little preliminary practice, the ball Is thrown in so that it bounds and finally rolls up to the man who Is bat ting up the flies. The consequence IS that the actual throws which are made in order to put out a runner are the very occasional ones which occur dur Ing a game.
 No student of the piano will ever attempt the classics until he has mas tered the finger exercises and scales, and vet this is the very thing that $ constantly being attempted by mem- hers of athletic teams.

Cubs" or Pirates" Jones

Fielder Jones. the former White Sox manager, than whom there are no bet ter and few equally as shrewd judges of ball players, has doped out the pen nant race in both major leagues this way: The fight wiil be between D+- troit. Philadelphia and Boston in the American league. with Boston and 1c. troit having the best chance The Sth- letic pitchers are likely to weaken this season. while thc Tigers smggers and the ail-around balance of the Red Sox will keep those teams to the fore
 "The Cubs and Pirates will be one two in the National league The Cub pitchers will keep their team up in the race, while the Pirates should travel at the same clip as they did last year. Clarke is a great leader and can be de- pended upon to keep his men keyed up to their work. The White Sox won't be in the running this year The team lacks batters. Dougherty is the only one who can be called a good hitter"
