stopped to hear the narrative broke
into guffaws of merriment.
DR.. Timmons said that in all prcba-

Columbia with Mr.. Figuers or some
other speaker, and he said that " he

he will announce. It is recognized
that he would prove a formidable can
didate. He also stated that he would
probably relinquish the honor Of in

he comes here wednesday, and that
the honor would probably go to w. B.

the reason that Mr. Gordon is an ex-

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn jug 49,
More than one hundred persons az
sembled here Saturday afternoon tc
hear the joint debate between H. p
Ffguers, representing the free judici
airy, and DIR. e. A. Timmons, the apps.
ale of moonshine and the eloquent
Patterson orator and resouceful coun-
ty leader.
The speaking had not been advertis-
ed locally, this fact no doubt reduc-
ing the attendance. On account of
rain the oratoriacl clash was postpon-
ed until $3.50, and was held in the OPP
era house.
Mr.. Figuers hammered the Pater-
son judiciary with sledge hammer
blows, and was literally 'applauded.
The audience was clearly with him in
the proportion Of two to one, the Pat
terson contingent having failed to turn
out to hear their champion in the num-
bers expected.
DR.. Timmons, whose reputation as
an author, thinker, physician and poll
tician had preceded him here, made
the very best defense possible of his
cause, and received fiattering atten-
ton. His argument was the same as
that advanced in his Columbia speech
.es, with a few notifications. He was
Chesterfeldan in his manners, was
faultlessly attired in light summer
suit and wore his whiskers la van
dyke, and by his splendid stage pres,
ence and naturalness of bearing i'm
pressed his audience with his ability. ,
The speaking lasted for about two
hours.

From Fridays Daily.

rfcm fIiOds Od&ly-
At the regular meeting of the
members of the Canon City Business
Mems association at the Strathmore
hotel at noon today, Secretary Mad
dox made report of his visit to Colo
rado Springs in the interest of the
tourist traffic, some of the details Of
which cannot fail to entertain the peo-
pie of this community at large. Mr..
Maddox went to the Springs primarily
to get into personal touch with the
visitors in that city and to assist c.
W Thomas, our publicity there, in in
ducing as many of them as possible
to come here and see the Royal Gorge.
Sky Line drive, Temple canon and
other attractions in this vicinity.
Mr.. Maddox was in Colorado Springs
and Manitou four days and was sur
prised at the very thorough and eff
fective manner in which Canon City is
advertised there and the number Of
people that are being brought here
by means of the agencies now at work
there in behalf of this community.
Everybody seemed TO be talking about
Canon City and of the splendid auto
mobile roads in this locality. All who
had been here were loud in their
praise OF the hospitality they had re-
ceived and the beauty of the sur
roundings. As a result of the good
impressions obtained by visitors here
they are doing a lot Of missionary
work fo- the town that is sure to
send a host of strangers here next
month.
The number of tourists at Colorado
Springs at present is far less than
usual for August, according to MT.
Maddox. although Manitou has nearly
its normal registration Automobile
parties are beginning to come in rap
idly, however. from Kansas, Neora-
ska. Oklahoma and Texas points and
congestion of visitors in the Pixies
neak region is expected in the course
of another wek or two Although
good many autoists have made the run
over here from the Springs recently
the number is much smaller than
would have been the case had the
late rains in the mountains not wash
ed out the roads so badly. Between
last Friday and Sunday twenty-eisnt
automobile parties came into Colorado
Springs. some of them from as far
east as Illinois and Indiana Many OF
them will visit Canon City before
completing their tour of the state, as
a direct result of the campaign of ad-
vertising now being carried on in the
interest Of the city.
Mr.. Maddox reported that the fold
