TWO CONVENTIONS.
Republicans Divided and Hold
Separate Conventions.

0CPdIdtC NOuNcnuOnS.
The Ninth District Republican Con-
ressional Convention met at the court
house in Union City last Tuesday.
The COMMITTEES met early in the fore
made up the temporary roll for the con-
vention.
The Brownlow wing OF the obion
County delegation was recognized.
The convention met at 11:80, and
was called to order by Chairman J. c.
Burdick, with Secretary ]. NJ. Eyins
present. J. c. Poston, of Crockett
county, was recommended by the COM
mittee for temporary chairman, and
was placed in nomination. ]. w.
Brown, of Haywood county, was placed
in nomination by the Evans wing, with
the result that Poston was elected. w.
L. Terrell was nominated and elected
temporary secretary of the convention
without opposition,
When the result OF the temporary or
ganization was announced the Evans
men withdrew under the leadership Of
Num-, Medley and Flowers.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
We, the Republicans of the Ninth
Congressional District, in a delegated
convention assembled, believing that
the original principles of the Republic
can party, as handed down to us by the
immortal Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Har-
rison and Mckinley, and carried out by
Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft,
are better adapted to preserve the union,
protect life and property rights, union,
liberty and guarantee freedom of
speech and make secure the rights Of
free and untrammeled election franchise
rights therefore, we swear our allie
glance to its principles, and resent any
effort to trample them under foot,
from whatever source they may come. |
We believe the Republican voters
are men OF intelligence, and capable of
their own selection, when it
comes to voting for Democrats for any
office.
We condemn all partisan Demo-
cratic legislation, and all those who
indorse the same, which had for its
object the control of the Republican
vote in Tennessee, and reduce our rep
resentation in Congress, legislative and
judicial departments of our State gov
eminent as iniquitous, and a plain VIC
ation of the Constitution.
Believing that the Republican party
will take no backward steps in temper
ance, but continue in the good work
until the desired results are obtained
therefore we ask all good Temperance
people to join us in this move to wipe
rom the State the worst enemy the
human family has.
The Brownlow men nominated w.
R. Landrum, Gibson county lawyer,
or Congress.
]. G. Burdick offered resolutions,
which were adopted, indorsing G. T. K
Taylor for disappointment as post
master at Union City.

Washington, D. G., Nov. 29.--Mrs.
Henry L. Dimmcck Of New York, pres
ident OF the George Washington assoc
citation. has set her heart upon having
erected in the national capital n con-
yention hall to be known as the Wash

mock. who is most charming woman,
with energy sufficient to drive n good

sentatives OF the chamber OF commerce
OF this city that the success Of the
movement depended upon Washing
toms initiative, and that II the capt.
tai of the nation would atree to raise
100000, she would undertake to raise
the balance. There is probably no city
in the country that needs n convention
hall as badly as Washington. or right,
it ought to be the convention city of
the republic but the great conventions
of the country will not come here be-
cause of the lack of hall facilities for
their entertainment. Mrs. Dimmock

Growing in Interest

The revival meetings which are
in progress at the Methodist church
are daily growing in interest.
Evangelist Winter is a man of
great force and power, not gifted
alone in biblical knowledge, but be-
ing a master of the sciences, histo-
ry and languages as we'll. Courage
is another of his conspicuous as
sets. He strikes straight from the
shoulder, so to speak, and the ma
jority of his blows up to this time
have fallen on professed christians
and church members, although he
makes it plain that there is no JUS
ti6cation for the sinners. His
theme Sunday night, "The Hard
est Nuts of In6delity Cracked"
was discourse worthy of the lee
ture platform as we'll as the pulpit.
1t dealt with science and history,
sacred and profane, and was treat
from all view points.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Evangelist Winter will preach
on questionable Amusements"-
card playing, novel reading, the
dance and theater-tonight.
On Friday afternoon at 2 p. m.
sharp, January 9TH, Mr.. Winter
will preach to Women Only on
"The Modern Esther"
On Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m
January 9th, Mr.. Winter will preach
to Men Only, on "The Modern
Samson"
Mr.. Winter will sing "My Moth
er's Prayer" and tell the story of
the origin of this song.

Judgment for $500

The case of Waiter Jackson VS..
WI. Coryelh which involved a
claim of 500 in a land sale was
finally tried out on Monday and it
resulted in a verdict for the plain
tiff in the sum of $25 and costs.
The case was tried Before Pro-
bate Judge Garrison who sat as
justice Of the peace by common
consent. The defendant took a
change of venue from Judge Collins
to Judge Tedrow who was physi-
cally unable to hear it hence both
parties agreed to try it before
Judge Garrison. Four jurors con-
sisting of !. G Clayton, M. P. De-
Witt, F. V. Illingworth and Clate
Simpson were pressed into service.
Their verdict was a compromise
and the theory is that the jury did
not believe either party. The
plaintiff claimed that he had a
contract with the defendant pro-
viding that he was to receive $Ioo
if he procured a buyer, while the
defendant denied the allegation III
toto. 1t would seem in such an
issue the plaintiff was either enti-
tied to 500 or nothing, but juries
have their own ideas and in this
case their edict is supreme. Meth
er side will appeal.
w. H. McCague was leading
counsel for plaintiff and ]. N.
Tincher was his colleague. Samuel
Griffin represented the defendant.
AS usual in such cases, the court
costs and the attorneys fees aggre-
gate several-times more than the
judgment.

Fruit Conditions

In the published reports of fruit
conditions which appeared in the
Topeka papers at the close of the
state horticultural meeting last
week, c. A. Blackmore of this city
who represents the Seventh district
IN the state board of trustees, says:
"No fruit hung on the trees to
maturity worth mentioning. The
crop failure, however, wiped out
the insect pests. Small fruits yield
ed about IS per cent of a crop in
Rice county, As in Reno, rs in the
rest of the district. Grapes did
fairly we'll every where. Scale has
been reported in Reno. Rot,
blight and other fungus diseases
have made their appearance over
the district. Fruit trees are not
being planted to any great extent.
Forest trees are being planted in

myer, secretary; Clarence G. Mich

side in or near Lake City.
The bylaws of the company
were amended so as to provide that
members must pay phone rents here
after the same as other subscribers.
Heretofore members of the COM
pany did not pay rentals but were
assessed as occasion required addi-
tional funds. This company has
built miles of phoue lines since its
organization. much of the system
covering a sparsely settled coun-
try, which has worked a financial
hardship on the stockholders but
the system is now believed to be
on self supporting basis.

That people are prone to be too
impatient with the telephone oper-
ators is evidenced by the amount of
business that is done. To ascertain
the average number of calls made
on the Medicine Lodge system per
day, Manager Chase put a monitor
on duty last Wednesday, whose
notes made disclosures as follows:
from 7:3o a. m. until $3.50 p. m.
hours-there were 1863
calls, 1867 of which were local, 48
were long distance calls and a4o
were inquiries. This is an average
OF traction more than two calls
per minute. Wednesday was less
than an average dav on account of
the tact that it was a clear day
when people do not use the phone
as freely as in less favorable wealth
er and also because business at
that particular time of year is not
as brisk as at most any other time,
SO that the actual average is prob
ably even greater than these figures
show.
If you are inclined to say harsh
things about central" when your
call is not answered as quickly as
you think it should be, remember
these figures and you will be more
lenient. There are only two girls
working on the board and they do
exceedingly well to handle this
great volume of business.
A writer, in complimenting the
every day school teacher, has said
" Take Oft your hat to her." We
think the greeting should apply
with equal force to the phonist.
