NASHVILLE. Tenn, Sept 10
Capt. Ben w. Hooper, Republican
nominee for governor, was indorsed
yesterday by the independent Demo
Gratis OF Tennessee. and they further
cut loose from the Democratic wing
by referring the latter's harmony

state executive committee witho,v
discussion.
The possible break In the solid

extends only TO one oihce. the gov

neither party will invade the others

the independents say, insures a Dem

lean governor in Tennessee was Al
vim Hawkins. in 1SSl-S2.
The convention went OF without n
ripple Of opposition to the program
of the leaders.
In a speech former Atty.-Gen. JET
ferson McCarn defined the delegates
general opinion as to their straight
Democracy when he said:
I'm a straight Democrat and I'm
going straight to the polls and vote
fer Capt. Hoover"
The pardon OF Senator Carmacks
slayer by Gov. Malcolm r. Patterson
was denounced repeatedly by the
speakers and each announcement
was received with shouts of applause.
Speaking of the combination OF Re-

Gratis. Capt Hooper said:
while this sequence OF events Is
unprecedented in Tennessee politics,
Il contains no deep and hidden mean
ing. We have witnessed In this state
for the last four years the assembling
Of the vicious and criminal elements
of all races and parties under the
banner OF an INSCRIPTIONS Organiza-
ton, an intensified imitation OF the
Tammany Democracy OF New York
and the Republican ring Of Philadel-
phia.
I'VE have seen the laws OF this
state trampled under foot We have
seen the pardoning power of the gov
ernor converted into political asset
and used for the financial enrichment
of his henchmen and the political ag-
grandizement of himself We have
seen the streets of our state capital
crimsoned with the blood OF political
martyrdom. We have seen the de-
cisions of the courts OF this state
treated with the utmost contempt
do you ask who is the leader OF
this Democratic revolution? | answer
that it Ia not any of the independent
leaders whom | see before me here
today. Edward Ward Carmack's body
lies a Wondering in the grave, but

An Australian Biowhoje,

A great natural curiosity is the "blow-
hole" On the Australian coast near
Klama. in the colony OF New South
Wales. 1t may be found in the mid
die of a rocky headland running out
into the sea. With each successive
breaker the ocean spray is sent shoot
ing up into the air. sometimes from
800 to 400 feet. accompanied by a rum
bling noise as of distant thunder,
which can be heard for miles. This
"blowhole" consists of Il perpendicu-
lar cavity. nearly circular, with d.
ameter Of about ten yards. and has
the appearance of being a crater of an
extinct volcano. 1t is connected with
the ocean by cave about hundred
yards in length. Into this cave waves
rush during stormy weather. and as
the cave extends some distance farther
into the rock than the "blOwhOle" on
the entrance Of each wave this hole
becomes full of compressed air. which,
when the tension becomes too great,
blows the water with great force up
the perpendicular opening. = London

Legend Of How . Projected invasion

Rajah Suran. who was one OF the
earliest rulers of India. overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma. killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh.
ters. 1t Is said that when the Chinese
heard Of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called council Of his
generals and mnndarins. and upon the
advice Of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was iOaded with rusty
nails. trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew OF old men and dispatched to the
rajahs capital When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story II
that 1t did nrrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the. seeds from which the great
trees had grown In corroboration of
their story they pointed t" the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as II mans arm when
they started "YOu can see" they
concluded. that China must he very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much Impressed
BY these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

THE USEFUL SWALLOWS.
Light Cavalry Of the Avian Army and
Friends Of the Farmer.

Light Cavalry Of the Avian Army and
Friends Of tho Farmer.
From the standpoint Of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry OF the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and un-
excelled in aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals in the art of capturing in
sects In midair. They eat nothing Of
value to man except few predacecus
wasps and bugs and in return for their
services in destroying vast numbers Of
noxious insects ask only for harborage
and protection.
1t Is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
culiar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the bolls, and black
birds, wrens, flycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
in the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as forty-seven
adult weevils have been found III the
stomach of single cliff swallow

MRS, Trips
CHINA TEA SET.
How It Brought Discord Among
Rival Inheritants.
BY FRANK II. SWEET.

copyright. 1909. by American Press Asso-
ciation.I
When good old Mr.. and Mrs. Tripp
died within week Of each other there
was. regret to say, an immediate dis.
agreement among their heirs over the
small property left by the old people.
Such disasreements are so shameful
ly common now that this one might
not have excited any particular inter.
est had 1t not been for the somewhat
peculiar nature Of the article over
which the cupidity Of the various heirs
had asserted itself.
Few indeed were the possessions Mr..
and Mrs. Trip left behind them. They
did not own even the humble little
brown house in which they had lived
for the past ten years. and when their
funeral expenses had been paid there
was not dollar left of the sum found
In an old pewter teapot on the top
shelf of the red cupboard in the kitch-
en-. Frugal as they had been, it was
evident that this sum represented the
sum total of their savings of many
years.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Trip had not al
ways been so poor as they were at the
last. and there was one Of Mrs Tripp's
possessions which she had always ex-
hibited with pride as a relic of her
better days and as undeniable proof of
the fact that there had been a time
when she had had a-pIenty."
Over this her relatives now disputed

Of the dishes and intended being faith

Mr. and Mrs. Tripp had no children
but they had some relatives-cousins
and second cousins and more remote
connections These relatives were nu

they were was made manifest wheI
