try so rich that it almost raises gold
dollars. 1t has scores of walled cities
and thousands of villages. It is so
thickly settled that much of IL supports
more than man to the acre, and is so
cut up by canals and dykes that one
can go to every mans house in a boat
The region includes such cities as
Shanghai, the New York of China; 500
chow, the Manchester, and Marking, the
classical, reminding one of Boston. 1t
has thousands of factories and it huns
like a beehive. OF these provinces Tuan
Fang was the absolute ruler and his
income was greater than that of the
smaller European kings. He had a
large corps of government clerks and
most of his subordinates were laying
up fortunes. The taotai, or mayor, or
Shanghai was getting about $1,000
year as a nominal salary, but the oTfiee
was so valuable that within three years
it made him independently rich The
mayors Of other cities were receiving
large sums, and of all that came into
the treasury I doubt not that every
hand through which it passed pinched
out a portion. Nevertheless, there were
millions left for the viceroy, and he
might have made himself rich beyond
the dreams OF aVarice. He did not. All
OF the surplus went into public i'm
provernents and into the carrying on or
reforms Of this new Chinese movement.
A Chinese Reforn,sr.
The work of this man is an evidence
of what Is going on out here in what
is supposed to be the deadest country
of the world. Tuan Fang yanked up
the dry skeleton of Chinese conserv-
atisn and put on it the flesh and blood
of our civilization. He organized all
sorts OF reforms in his various cities
Here al Nanking he established in
dustriaI schools, commercial schools
and a school for teaching silk culture
He had schools of law and debating
societies for the study of the new con-
stitution He established an academy
for the customs officers and there were
meetings night after night where the
people were educated in modern gov
ernlnent. He reorganized the courts.
the police and the prisons. He built
roads in the cities, and established fac
tories and industries. He had one gov
eminent hospital which treated 500 pa
tents a day, and among the assist
ants were lady physicians and nurses,
educated abroad. He sent Chinese stu
dents to the United States and had a
coeduca tionsl school in his own prov
ince. He did what he could to wipe
out opium in the Yangtse valley and
had opium hospitals here and else
where. He did much to push railroads
A line was constructed from the river
to Marking and he aided in building
the railways northward to Picking and
Tientsin.

Tuan Fang and the Rebels.

Tuan Fang did so much in the line
of reform that he aroused the enmity
of the conservatives and they tried to
assassinate him. The Chinese objected
10 him on several grounds One was
that he was a Tartar and therefore
an interloper and should be wiped out
The secret societies were against him
and they planned to kill him in the
rebellion which was to spring up on
the Yangtse when the empress dow
ager died. The plans for this revoIu-
ton had been perfected and 1t was
the intention to kill the missionaries
and drive the foreigners out of this
valley and at the same time create an
army which would wipe out the pres
ent dynasty. Tuan Fang had many
spies and they reported the scheme
At the time of the death he had his
big army engaged in maneuvers and
by means Of it was able to quen the
rebellion and thus save China He went
himself to the seat of the trouble and
his spies told him that there was a
scheme to shoot him on the wav from,
the cars TO his house upon his return
He foiled the assassins by having four
carriages sent to the station Each az
these was the exact counterpart of the
other. each was driven by a coachnnap
in the viceroy's livery, and when m
train stopped four viceroys dressed g.
actly alike and made up to resemble
Tuan Fang stepped from the car ara
entered the four carriages The make
up was so skiIlful that no one cou,d
tell which was the viceroy. and his
excellency thus had three chances out
of four of someone else being killed

Again / come TO show further reasons
why ! believe it's our duty to vote for
the above named gentlemen in the cleo
ton Nov. s and to use our best energy
to see that al of our friends get to the
polls and vote on said occ aston.
Never before in the history Of Ten
nessee, since | can remember, have is
sues Of such great Importance been be-
fore the State, and it behooves every
citizen to come to the front like men
and declare for law and order, and that
no backwardhsteps be taken in our tenn
perance and moral laws, and that men
be elected to office who do declare for
these laws Vote for no man who does
not and will not tell you where he
stands. The whisky people know their
man, ard we should know ours. No
man can satisfy that class of voters and
at the same time satisfy the law and or
der class. Let's come to the front as
did our fathers in the sixties, except we
come with our votes land they came
with their guns and put to flight the
greatest political machine ever made
and restore to the people their rights
as American citizens to choose their
and to demand the en-
foreement Of law and order.
Things have come to a pretty pass in
this grand old State Of ours, and it is
all brought about by this Patterson
Taylor party who will enforce only such
laws as suit their liking. Talk about
peace in the party and State. There
will never be peace until the lawless ell
sment is made to respect the laws Of the
and, and that preacher OF the Cos
pei shall have the same rights and pro-
lection as the criminal negro.
The say preacher has no business in
politics. We will tighten up on the

terms. They are not regular" but
the blacklist negro in the State can veal
the badge" OF regularity. Shame on
any people that resort to such tactics.
The respectable negroes are not in that
class, however, and they deserve credit
for standing for the right.
They say that Taylor stands for tenn
perance. Why doesn't he say so. Tay-
lor says he stands for free lake. Won
der how much he wants the State to pay
the company which claims it. His SON
in-law at Trenton is interested in the
lake.
Who nominated Boy Taylor for Gov
ernor of Tennessee? The machine. How
many offices can Bob hold at one timer
Which one would you prefer? Which
does he? Would he serve if elected?
They say Taylor has made such a
sacrifice for the State Who made Tay-
Tor what he is? What's he ever done
for Tennessee? For twenty-four years
the people have honored him with the
best they had, but now it seems he has
outgrown himself and thinks the people
of Tennessee belong to him, and all lac
has to do is to round up the hill-billies
and red-necks, but he has come one
time too many. They say that Taylor
is so patriotic-that he gives for various
charitable and benevolent purposes.
Any ten-cent show, street fair or vau-
deville will give half Of the proceeds to
if you will furnish the people.
Is that true patriotism? The street fairs,
run by Pennsylvania yankees, paid i'm
to the monument by giving a part to
the good ladies for their support. 1t Is
very much like the man getting hands
to pick blaekberries and giving half.
Anybody can be patriotic when the peo-
pie do the work.
True patriotism will be shown next
Tuesday by every good citizen Of this
county and State going to the polls and
exercising his rights and in voting to
put down the Patterson Taylor machine.
Let the people say what they want
There are a thousand farmers and BUSH
ness men in Obion County who would
make better governors than Bob Tay-
Tor. Give us a change.

The Colors.

Some time since we saw in company
of men some wearing white badges and
some wearing a badge of red. A gentle
man wearing white badge approached
one who was wearing the red and said,
What is the definition or significance
of your red badger" The wearer replied
that he could not give the proper def
milton of the word red but that its sig
nifcance to himself was that he was for
law enforcement and the majority rule
and against lawlesness and machine
rule. The other said You are wrong,
red stands for radical Republicanism
and that you have boIted the Demo-
cratic party and gone off with the Re
publicans. :" Well, said the wearer
of the red, what is the definition and
significance of your white badger and
the man replied White is the emblem
Of purity, innocence and harmony, and
is the peculiar badge Of true Demo
crat and means that | am a follower of
our Bob. Aud thus the dialogue ended
with them, but not so with us, as we
We're anxious to know the true defini-
ton of the words red and white, and by
consulting standard authorities we find
them thus; Red, to put in order; to
make tidy; to free from ENHANCEMENT
or embarrassment. White, the color of
pure snow; to make white; to whiten;
to whitewash; to bIeech. Thus seeing
the true definition of the two colors
represented in the fight that is now be-
ing waged i'm the State, we could not
help but think how appropriate the col
ors were. Red, the badge that the sup
porters of the fusion ticket are wearing,
signifies to put in order; to free from

can deny the fact that our State needs
to be put in order and freed from en-
To convince one that the
State is in bad order we only have to
look at the non-enforcement Of the
laws and the lawlessness that is ram

troll the legislative and judicial Then,

an attempt to whitewash and bleach, as
it were, the present administration and
to keep the present state of disorder
and ENHANCEMENT in force. The wear
ers of the white, to our mind, represent
the whited sepulchers, which indeed APP
pear beautiful, outward, but are, with
in, full Of uncleanness, so that no fuller
on earth could make them white. This
is time of all times when every voter
in the State should consider well the
principles at stake before he casts his
vote and cast that vote for principle and
right rather than for some man who has
been whitewashed for the occasion.

Whatever the result Of the election in
Tennessee next Tuesday we sincerely
hope there will be no backward step. Ii
Taylor is elected we hope TO see the
Statewide prohibition law enforced to
the letter as near as possible, county
election commissioners elected by the
people, good roads measures for all the
counties alike in the State and an equal
division Of the proposed convict labor,
the State fair conducted as private en-
terprise, and the retention Of the stat
utes affecting the liquor traffic. If
Hooper is elected we trust that he will
keep good his temperance pledges and
give us as near as possible Il Democratic
administration. BE azy, Mike; but if
We can't Be azy, be as azy as We can. "
