DON'T az A KNocKER.

II would not be bad thing for Co
lumbia if certain knockers hereaoouts
should suddenly form the resolution
and Immediately act upon it, that they
will leave these parts for good long
absence. The town would not sur
fer There is little or no excuse for
the knocker. He does not do any
good; on the contrary he often does
much harm. Unfortunately Column
bia has it's share, sometimes we think
more than it's share of the "undesira'
bles."
Knockers may not always Intend
harm. much of the time they mean no
wrong, but having formed bad habit
they unconsciously continue to ply
their vocation. They drop remarks
that sometimes do the community a
positive injury. On the other hand q
few good words, a little commenda'
ton. would do an immense amount OF
good.
The booster is the salt Of the earth
He takes a cheerful view Of things
He is an optimist; also a patriot. he
believes that his community is the
hest in the world. He can sing It's
nraises all the day long. He is the
character of an individual that makes
the world brighter and SUMMER. The
knocker is a gloomy gus. Nothing
especially the things at home is ever
what it should be.
To show the evil, the positive harm
that a knocker may do 1t Is only
necessary to cite an instnace rece ntly
brought to the attention OF TINS
paper. A lady came to Columbia
with the intention Of placing her sons
in the local academy. she was
pleased with the school. She nkeo
the instructors, she thought well OF
F., the city and county, but unfortunately
she spent a while in the city and here
abe fell under the influence OF a
Knocker. She left under the impress
sion that Columbia was anything but
healthy city, firm in the resolution
that she could mot risk her own 70
live near it's confines. Now there Is
mot a healthier town in the State than
Columbia, but people are panlcKly
and when they hear from the folks
at home that health conditions are not
good they do not stop to reason OF
investigate. There are otner schooiS
and they fly to them.

hava peusioned the Confederate sol
d,srs Al any time. However, when the
novement was first inauguarted Il
NET With bitter and determined op-
nosition from Democrats They hon
sstlv doubted the wisdom Of such
measure and they also and with equal
honesty and candor doubted the abb
nv of the people to meet sucn an
obligation.
The first measure to pension Con-
federate soldiers was opposed by ser
eral prominent Democrats. How
ever a few years after the State mad
been committed to the policy OF ray
ing pensions to the old heroes all
onnosition ceased and for ten years
there has not been an opposing vote
cast nv Democrat or Republican. 9th
partIes are entitled to credit for this
LEGISLATION although originally inau-
surated by the Democrats. II every
member of the next legislature should
he a Republican the confederate PEN
sion bill would pass unanimously ana
none know this better than the Pat
terson puppets who are barking at
the heels OF their superiors.
Hooper did not vote against the
Confederate appropriation any more
than he voted against the bill TO pay
the other expenses Of government
The act which he opposed was the
general appropriation bill. The item
for confederate pensions was cniy
ono NJ q number of items in that bill.
His onposition was to the bill and
his reasons for his vote prove that
MISREPRESENTATION and abuse Is not
going to avail the Patterson organs
ANYTHING in this campaign. Hooper's
attitude on the pension question Is
stated in the Republican platform
That platform not only favors hoerai
appropriations but 1t stands for the
present pension law which allows the
old heroes to disburse their own
funds. That law has been a thorn
in the flesh of Patterson. For fifteen
months he held up the commissions
of the three soldiers elected by the
Confederate OF Tennessee to admin
;ster a sacred trust because he was
not going to have any id man
going around fighting me with my
commission in his pocket" one
would think after the commissions
that Ham has been forced to issue
since the August election he would DO
kinder accustomed to this sort OF
thing by now.
Intelligent and self respecting Con
federate soldiers know a friend rom
foe. They know that Patterson cares
nothing for them save as an asset TO
his machine. They have not forgot
ten that when he came to make up
his personal ticket for the judiciary
he deliberately ignored the claims o.
two old battle SCARED heroes OF the
starry cross and selected soldier
of the Union army. Away with sucn
clap trap, it is not even decent ron
sense.

A GOOD DAYS WORK.

A GOOD DAYS WOhN'
There has never assembled IN len
Dassee a more determined, more en-
,busiastic or a more patriotic conVen-
tion than that which met "Wednesday
at Nashville to save the Democl atic

gates without one dissenting voice.
Registered the will of their constitu-
ants. The Democratic party has been
.aoroan,zed. reformed and revitaliz-
nd. It will now go marching on 70
the consumation of its glorious mis-
sion.
The endorsement Of Hooper was IN
accordance with the instructions ana
wishes of the Democrats OF Tennes-
.ae who achieved the glorious victory
for the integrity and independence OF
the courts on August 4. Talk OF com
promise with the shattered remnants
of the discredited and disgraced Fat
terson machine was idle. Democrats
of the character and manhood ana CAL
,hra of those who made up the conven-
tion of Wednesday would never COM
promise with dishonor. They VIII
never compromise with those who ap-
proye assassination and a proposition
srou that source was an insult to the
delegates and received scant consider"
alton which it deserved.
The Old Guard of Democracy is go
ing to carry this fight to conclusion
Machine rule and the domination Of
the corrupt Patterson gang must emo
in Tennessee The State must De re-
deemed; patriotism must triumph
over the peif of party. Love of coun-
trv should and will be the ruling pas
sion of the Democrats of Tennessee.
There will be no compromise and no
surrender. The Patterson gang should
understand that now and we trust that
they will no longer reflect upon their
own intelligence and offer insult 10
their foes by making offers in the
false name of Democracy
Hooper will be elected. Good gov
eminent will triumph; the laws VIII
he enforced. Tennessee will again as
sumo it's position among the republics
of the nation Honor and truth ana
peace and happiness will reign. the
convention has blazed the way; the
neople of Tennessee will approve Its
action by a majority without any prec'
edent in the annals Of the State.

MAGNIFICENT
BOX OF APPLES
AND OTHER FRUIT
ON EXHIBITION AT BOARD OF
TRADE ROOMS - STALK OF
CORN WITH EIGHT EARS AND
FINE SPECIMENS OF BEANS
AND OTHER VEGETABLES.

Some splendid specimens of fruit
and vegetables are still coming in
at the Salem Board of Trade rooms
for exhibit purposes. Probably the
finest stalk of corn that was ever
grown in Oregon was brought in
the other day by F. L. Cooley of
North Salem. The stalk is nine feet
tall and contains eight full ears of
corn, all of which would have un-
dOubtedly matured and ripened had
the stalk been left in the ground
This is one of the greatest specimens
of corn ever produced anywhere, and
would be a credit to the corn belt
of the Mississippi Valley. 1t is at
tracing great deal of attention
among local farmers as well as
visitors from abroad.
Mr.. Clarence Jory Of the Rosedale
district brought in a cluster of
eight pears on a stem not over four
inches long. The pears were medium
sized and in good condition. This
sample will be put into Jars for
future exhibit purposes.
Mr.. N. w. Clark, very successful
sidewalk farmer, brought in a sam.
pie of extra large string beans which
are duly appreciated for their real
worth.
The most magnificent box of ap-
pies that has come to the Board OF
Trade and probably as fine show
lot as ever was exhibited in the west
was brought in yesterday by Gus
Freniard of North Salem. They are
the Red Bietigheimer, and measure
from Is to IS inches in circumfer-
ence. In color they range from a
delicate pale pink to a cerise red |
They are a fall apple of better quail
ty than the Wolf River or other large
varieties, and in color they certainly
excel any other apple known.
These will be kept at the Secre-
tary's office fora few days and then
will be sent to Portland to be pro-
cessed. It is predicted that this will
make the most attractive jar of ap-
pies ever put up in Oregon, and that
means the greatest ever seen any
where on earth.
