Correspondent Corrected.

Our attention is called to an error il
! the correspondence from the Third Dis
trict, as published last week, relative
to statement made as to the sanity OF
Mrs. James r. Hudson. Mr.. d. M.
Tate, of Jasper, father of the lady in
question, writes us that it is SANDER
and done by the correspondent through
rage over politics. We regret that the
correspondent has made an untrue
statement and suggest he come for
ward with an apology to the parties.
The following is Mr.. Tate's letter to
the News demanding correction.
Jasper, Tenn, Dec. 3, 1910.
Editor News,
Sequachee, Tenn.
l will ask you to do favor for me
and my friends, and the young rising
generation of my family and that is
you will please notice an article You
have published in your last paper.
The heading is this the Third District
and his name is White who signs his
name Representative. He has Sian
dered my daughter through the paper
and l desire you to make a correction
in your next publication and this will
be the end of this if you will correct
the mistake in the next weeks paper.
White is mad and has done this
through prejudice. He is mad over
politics and do not publish anything
else that he writes in any such man
ner. Correct the past error and the
hardness will be over.
The person of whom l speak of being
slandered is my daughter, wife of
James R. Hudson of this place.
Yours truly,
d. M. TATE.

UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

much are liable to let their prejudice'

ment, and cause them to misconstrut
the meaning and Interpretation OF
what others say OF write. The eulogy
your Uncle Tom passed on r. l.. Tay
lor and Gov. Patterson you certainly
misconstrued as to the Governor.
was writing from the humane and
sympathetic side of the man, and be-
cause did so, you seek to hold me al
as endorsing the pardoning of Dune
Cooper.
Butterfly, l am democrat and
always have been, and l amt silly
enough to charge the Democrats with
the murder of Ed Carmack, and wink
ing at the pardoning of his slayer.
don't believe any such stuff neither
do l believe Bob Taylor was under the
influence of Patterson any more than
you are and | am not surprised at the
prohibitionists and republicans in try
ng to keep the Carmack Democrats
and the Patterson Democrats divided.
But let me tell you they will get to-
gether in spite of all the intriguing
of designing republicans and prohibit
tionists and this liquor question will
be eventually decided by the people.
Not much difference between state
wide Democrat and local optionist.
Both are willing to let the people say
what shall be done while the prohibit
tionists are not and will do everything
they can to prevent the issue from be-
ing left to the people. One thing is
certain the local option democrats
have done more to outlaw liquor than
the prohibitionists have and they have
done it by the consent of the people.
State widers haven't done much and
what they have done has not been
done by the consent of the people at
all. | am a Carmack Democrat and
hope this legislature will let the peo-
pie settle the liquor question and APP
ply it to the whole state. | don't en-
dorse the prohibition policy at all 4
don't consider it democratic, but
plainly species of despotism, forced
On free people. Whenever we throw
overheard the will of the people and
90 ahead and enact legislation regard
less of them, we destroy our democrat
c form of government.
Your charges are based on your
of my letter. am
not Patterson Democrat or local
,ptionist, but state wide democrat,
md favor the people saying what shall
% done. Yes, can see little good
n Patterson after all the abuse heaped
IN him. That good is his humanity
md sympathy toward the helpless, and
,e is as big hearted, brotherly a man
Is ever occupied the governors chair.
His private life and character is above
'eproach and no men in their bitter
assaults assails it. Not one. Yet
lm against him. don't believe he is
Influenced by the liquor element at
I'll. There is stronger and a more
powerful influence over him than the
iquorites, and that is his love of hui
nanity and sympathy. A mothers
prayer and tears, sister walls, and
vife's means are influences hard to
urn down. Patterson is humane after
III and not a desrot. 1t is not necessa-
y to state why oppose Patterson, as
never wrote from that point.

WIND AND NERVES.
Effects of Breezes From tho East,

Effects of 5reezes From the East,
West and Northwest
The east winds hug the earth close
~ and gather moisture, dust and bac-
terra. They are cold and humid. al
together forming an enervating infiu-
cnce on human and animal life and
rendering IT susceptible to the disease
germs which the winds carry and dis

The cool. pure northwest winds
come from a region OF dry. highly
electrified afr where ozone exists In
comparatively large quantities. They
are invigorating. The framework Of
nerves in the human being is like
delicate electrical apparatus. the
nerves being the wires and the brain
and ganglia receiving and distributing
centers.
Every one knows that a telephone
works better on a clear, dry day than
on wet, muggy one. The moist at
mosphere lessons vitality. The nerve
wires grow faccid and heavy. The
messages become confused. Hence

and disease.
The opposite effects flow from the
northwest winds. The west and
northwest winds keep the mucous

which is always present with the east
wind disappears. Absence OF any

LET THE DANCERS PAY.

You'll never miss the water
till the we'll runs dry" is an old,
old saying, but it is none the less
true.
SO long as the Berryville Reser-
voir is filled with water, no one
suffers, and no one asks how much
water his neighbor is using.
But, when the supply runs low,
pointed, impairment"
questions-are asked, and it is high
time they were being answered.
In the past the COURIER has
taken opportunity to say, on more
than one occasion, that the water
rates in Berryville were entirely
too low in most instances.
There have been charged certain
rates for spigots, certain rates for
bathtubs, certain rates for closets,
certain rates for sprinklers, all
without any regard to the quantity
of water being consumed. The
man with family of ten has paid
no more for his bathroom than the
man with a family of three. The
man with a yard fifty feet square
has paid as much for his sprinkler
as the man with yard two hundred
feet square.
We have repeatedly said that
sooner or later there would come
time when water users would paw
for the water consumed.
That time is now practically at
hand, and we are glad of it.
We cannot conceive of any fair
way in which the water tax may be
equalized except by the installation
of meters, and we hope TO see that
installation started as soon as
possible.
Elsewhere, when meters for gas,
electricity or water are installed.
the property owner puts up a sum
equal to the wholesale cost of the
meters, for which he is given a
receipt, and then. when the meter
IS removed, his money is refunded.
That can be done in BerryviIIe.
We repeat, Let the dancers
pay"-let each man pay in proper
'.on to the amount of water con-
sumed.

The Dead Mans Hand

Charms as cures for sickness were
common In England n century ago.
Lady Wake. who was born in 1900.
tells OF grewsome cure adopted for
the removal OF some birthmarks which
dishgured her face. Her mother was
persuaded that "a dead mans hand
laid upon my cheek and hands would
enectually remove the marks" she
writes. "As man could not be killed
for the occasion. 1t was necessary to
walt TIL some one died. An old man
at last did die in one OF the nearest
cottages, and was taken there In my
sleep. ] remember afterward being
constantly stopped by the widow, who
always examined my cheek in order to
ascertain the state Of her husbands
body, as the marks, she told my nurse.
would certainly fade away as he turn
ed into dust Whatever the cause Of
the cure, the marks in time disap-
peared."

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The press of the State, generally,
opposes the proposed amendments
to the Constitution, and the CoU-
RIER also fails 10 see any particular
thing to be gained by their adop-
ton.
The law now gives County
Treasurers and Commissioners of
the Revenue the privilege of two
terms beforethey become Ineligible.
1t seems to US that two terms are
amply sufficient for any Office
holder.
The proposed extension of the
term of the Legislature from sixty
to ninety days will not work any
wonders in the way of expedited
legislation.
There will be the same rush in
the last ten days of ninety-day
term that we now observe in the
siXty-day term, for the reason that
many bills are purposely put off TO
the last minute in the hope either
of defeating them or of tanning"
them through when all thememberS
are tired out and, rather than force
fight which will jeopardize some
of their own bills, will stand for
anything"
The history of every legislative
body in the United States shows
the above to have been true, and
it is certain that time Will not
change it.
And then, again. it mas only been
Il few years since the Constitution
was adopted, and it does seem that
the time has really been too short
in which to give it a full and fair
trial, before we begin 'tinkering"
with it.
