elected chairman and Nola j. Cuff
secretary. Though in the midst of
a busy season, many farmers who
oppose the action of the State Com

the resolutions adopted. The fol-

son, John Askew, Jesse HI. Howell
and G. III. Cuff.
The following resolutions re-
ported by the committee were en-
Enthusiastically adopted:
"Be itresolved, by the Democrats
u Benton County, in mass conven-
ton assembled on this the 7th day
Of May, 1910:
'That we earnestly adhere to and
firmly believe in the time-honored
and God-given principles of the
Democratic party and Democratic
government, viz: "A government
For the people and by the people, ;
a government in which the people,
and not the officers, are supreme.
This, in our Judgment, is our only
protection in our homes, our prop
erty, our lives, and our liberties.
Second, that we heartily favor
and stand for the enforcement of
the criminal laws of our State, be-
heving that this is our only safe
guard against crime, violence, and
mob law.
"Third, that we condemn will all
the vigor and manhood within us,
the primary election plan formu-
lated and promulgated by Governor
M. r. Patterson and his executive
committee, by which the rights and
privileges of the people to declare
the principles for which they stand
and to govern themselves is taken
away and vested in political ma
chine, created by fraud and con-
trolled by one man.
Fourth, that we condemn said
primary plan as undemocratic, es-
pecially, in that it robs the people
of their right to govern themselves;
denies them the privilege of select
ing their own representatives in the
councils of the party; supercedes
all local power and authority of the
people, and vests all power save
that given to serfs-in one man
and his machine, and attempts to,
and will, if successful, fix upon the
people, for time to come, machine
rule, machine methods, and ma
chine principles, and create within
our borders monarchial form of
government.
"Fifth, that we heartily favor
and stand for a free and untram-
meled Judiciary, believing that in
the integrity and independence OF
our courts rests the security OF our
property as we'll as our lives and
liberties. We, therefore, approve
the move now being taken by the
Democrats of the State-irrespect-
i've of faction-to maintain the in
tegrity of the courts, uphold and
enforce the law, and free the State
from the corrupting power and evil
influence of the present self-per-
petuating political machine.

An Untrammeled Judiciary
Question Before the People

Sixth, that we hereby heartily
endorse the position taken by
Judges Beard, Shields, Neal, and
Lansden, candidates for the Su-
preme Court, Wilson, Taylor, Hig-
gins, and Hall, candidates for the
Court of Civil Appeals in refusing
to enter said primary, and thereby
became the puppets of corrupt
political machine, and sacrifice
their integrity as citizens and men,
totally disregarding the rights of
the people; and we hereby pledge
to them our votes and influence as
candidates for election by the peo-
pie, in the August election.
Seventh, that we endorse the
proposed mass meeting called at
Nashville, May Is, 1910, and urge
the Democrats of the State to send
full representation to said meeting
"Eight, that we hereby decline,
as Democrats, to enter into or have
anything whatever to do with ma
chine primary called by Governor
Patterson and his committee, and
refuse to be bound in any way
thereby.
"Nine, that we, in unmeasured
terms, condemn the action of Gov
ernor M. r. Patterson in pardon
ing one of the slayers of Hon. E.
W. Carmack as reflection upon
the honor and Integrity of the
courts and juries of our State and
prostitution of his power as Gov
ernOr.
"Tenth, that we heartily endorse
the actions and approve the course
of Hon. d. B. Thomas as a men,
Der of the Senate of 1909, and
pledge him our support for any
thing he may ask"
The following report of the COM
mittee on delegation was adopted:
"Your committee on delegation
beg leave to submit the following
report:
"First, that every Democrat in
Benton County, who has the cause
for which the State convention of
the 18th in Nashville is called, at
heart be made delegates.
Second, that each and every one
as such delegates be urged to at
tend said convention"
At least five hundred Democrats
signers in Benton County respond
ed to the call for State conven-
tion, and a large delegation will go
from the county to Nashville next
Wednesday.
County conventions are being
held throughout the State, and
each day brings additional assur-
ances that the meeting of anti
administration Democrats in the
Rock City next week will be the
largest political gathering ever
seen in Tennessee.
A rate of one fare for the round
trip, plus rs cents, has been made
by the railroads of the State for
the big convention, and special
trains will be run on the occasion.

Two People at Least Who Failed to See Any Humor in the Sit

 Finally she began poking under the seats to see If she could touch the umbrella in some recess beyond her vision

RATE HEARING AGAIN BEGUN
RATE EXPERTS TO TESTIFY
STATE ATTORNEYS HAVE CASE WELL IN HAND AND WILL
 SPRING SURPRISES.

Little Rock, April 19.-The taking of evidence in behalf of the state of Arkansas in the litigation with the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt roads, began this morning in the federal court room, with Special Master P. c. Dooley presiding. The taking of de- positions was to have commenced yes terday afternoon, but witnesses desir- ed by the attorneys for the state did not appear and the opening of the states side of the case was then post poned until this morning.
 The state expects to spring many surprises on the railroads and give them much to explain in the final dispositions which are to be taken by the railroads at the close of the states testimony. The state will first hear witnesses on rates who are shippers in this section, also former members of the Arkansas railroad commission, and former railroad employees in this section. They will then bring to Lit tie Rock the rate experts employed by tn state in going over the books of the Iron Mountain, after which some eX- perts in the employ of the interstate railroad commission, allowed to tes- tify for Arkansas as a special court esy, are expected to take the stand. The railroads have a number of off cials in the city to listen to the testi- mony offered.

HOW TO MAKE A MULE MOVE.

It takes a man from Missouri to show how to manage mule. The other day two-wheeled cart loaded with coal stood in front of the capitol at Washington. The motive power was mangy mule, and the captain was sadly f1ustered colored gentle man. The mule had baked and noth- ing would induce him to move foot. A crowd had gathered around and was giving advice.
 Get down and tickle his fetlocks; that always makes 'em move their feet, said humorist. Light fire under him. proposed somebody else. Dat ar mule'd be bu'nd up alive fore he'd move," replied the darkey.
 Finally businesslike citizen push ed his way through the crowd He took command instantly, because his air of authority convinced everybody that he knew his game.
 Take off the lines" he directed. New get up clos ealongside him, and pass the line under his tail. That it. Cross the line over his back, out in front of him an dpul! it till his tail flies up. See if that won't make him go"
 The colored brother followed the advice to the letter. The mule never moved till he felt the pressure on his tail. The negro leaned back and pull ed hard
 "That'll fetch him! saw it back and forth bit; there you are!"
 The mules tail began to wriggle, and lose it's grip; then all at once it flew up, and the mule started to run. The load was too much, however, and he soon cooled off"
 'Now put the liners on again, and he'll not make any more trouble for a couple of days" was the parting shot of Representative Fucker of Mis- souri, as he turned away and march ed into the capitol. The mule was driven off as tame as a lamb.-N. w. Agriculturist.
