Leader of Insurrectors Says Attack
Will Come Within The Next
Twenty Four Hours.

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 4.-The Damo-
clean sword of insurrection was still
suspended over the city of Juarez this
morning.
Just when Pasquale Orozco, the rebel
chief would cut the thread was little
indefinite. 1t was definite, indeed,
however, that the attack of the young
revolutionary leader on the border city,
however, that the attack of the young
revolutionary leader on the border city,
which, according to his statement, he
intends making the provisional capitol
of Mexico, would not be long delayed.
Official notice of the attended attack
reached the American consul at 1870
last night In this notice Orozco said
he would attack within twenty-four
hours. Couriers from his camp, about
ten miles from Juarez, this morning,
said he expected first to reconnoiter the
town before striking and that he was
awaiting reinforcements.
Juarez, too, was looking for REIN
forcements for the federal garrison, but
revolutionists said nonemight be looked
for from the south, where Col. Robago
and his shattered command were.
This morning Orozco's outposts were
almost within sight of Juarez.

Gratis for voting for Taylor, forget

The Tennessean, however

All of which goes to show that
the plane of politics in Tennessee is
low. that party lines no longer seem
to bind, that few men hold to po-
litical doctrine, and that few men
have political convictions,
And probably no man with po-
litical convictions in public life could
succeed in Tennessee today.
Any man having a pride of per-
sonal opinion in order to keep in
line with the people would haye to
change that opinion with every
change of the moon.
Besides, there are few men in
politics in Tennessee who are cap
able of grasping political idea in
volving a principle of government.
The whole business of politics in
Tennessee for ten years has been
not on intelligence, but on CAB.
Men have been rewarded not for
showing a profound knowledge of
the great questions of government,
but because they can out cuss, out
abuse and out-gab any other fellow
seeking public favor.
When our standards change men
will either develop to them or good
men will go into public life when
fitness for public service will be

CROP IN DANGER

Macon, Ga, Feb. 4.--According
to fruit growers, the Georgia peach
crop is in great danger as a result OF
the warm weather. One grower
has just returned from his orchards
near Marshallville and reports that
the sap is rising in the trees and the
buds are beginning to open. Unless
there is a decided change in the
weather during the next two days,
freezing weather when it does come
will play havoc. In Macon several

GIRL DIES AND LOSES
HER MIND ON RECOVERY

Los Angeles, Feb. GA CASE
of dual personality, which, ha;
been puzzling physicians for q
year, has been brought to light
through the medical report of Dr.
P. Beasting. The patient is Miss
Pauline Dearing, p years of age,
who, according to the physicians,
suffered stoppage of the heart,
circulation and respiration for
five minutes, and recovered to be-
come a person of entirely differ
ent temperament and with no
memory of ner life before the
experience.
On November IS, 1909, Miss
Dearing was stricken with abso-
lutte paralysis of the body togeth-
er with complete failure of the
nerves of nutrition. On January
10 the pulse ceased, respiration
stopped, the blood ceased circu-
lating and rigor mortis ensued.
DIR. Beasting says that after
this apparent death he happened
to touch the body and the skin
did not feel like that of dead
person..
81 felt the muscles of the neck
relax under my fingers and soon
she gave cry like that of a new
born child he says.
II worked hard and the circu-
lation was resumed. We gave
her warm water and she sucked
it down greedily just like hun,
cry baby; later we gave her sone
diluted milk in a nursing bottle
and she rapidly grew stronger"
MissDeariug recovered strengt'',
was entirely cured of her paraly
sis and was free from all pain;
but her memory was gone, she
did not know how to talk, and she
was so far as mind went just as
new born child.

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF TENNESSEE
MOVES AROUND THE FOCAL POINT

the republican and fusionist com
bination were ironclad. When
they couldn't quite command
votes enough, old Shelby seemed
to be ready to make the necessary
majority.
There was talk of going out
after the scalp of Comptroller
Dibrell. If Luke Lea could be
elected senator, why couldn't Reau
Folk be treasurer ? Reau was
supported by the fusionists, had
made speeches for Hooper, and
he knelt under the drippings of
the sanctuary with Newell San
ders. Beside, Reau Folk had made
a good treasurer and a rafting
good insurance commissioner.
Measured by fitness for the Office
of insurance commissioner, there is
not better man in Tennessee than
Folk. On the day of the voting
scores of democrats and eight or ten
republicans voted for Brownlow re-
publican named Taylor, and before
Reau and his friends knew what was
up he was defeated. Reau could
not complain. His own political
methods were used against him.
Taylor may make a good treasurer
He is no more fit to be treasurer,
however, than Luke Lea is to be
senator, so far as the public knows.
Of course, TAYLOR may develop into
a ]. Pierpont Morgan of the south
and Lea may be as famous and as
able in the senate as was Ben Hill or
Lamar of Mississippi.
The speech, however, accepting
the nomination showed that in hap
piness of expression and in richness
of extemporaneous ideas Luke Lea
was far away from headquarters.
The triumph of Taylor made con-
fusion. The Knoxville Journal, SOL

CONVENTION OF
SOUTHERN MERCHANTS

Nashville, Feb. 3.-The retail
merchants OF the southern states will
hold a four days convention in Nash
vile, beginning on February 28 and
continuing through to March 8,
for the purpose of considering the
parcels post bill, now pending before
the United States congress, in rela-
ton to its effect on their business.
Though the movement as definitely
launched is hardly more than week
old, more than 5000 retailers,
throughout the southern states,
have signed the call for the conven-
tion, and the number of signers
would have been much larger but
for the fact that the work of pre-
senting the situation to the retailers
throughout the large territory was
necessarily slow.
An executive committee of fifty
from the states of Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, has been selected and
Robert L. Burch, of Nashville, ed
itor of the Merchant and Manufac-
turer, has been named as chairman.
Though the purpose of the con-
vention as stated is to gather the
views of southern merchants in con-
crete form, it is fact well known
that the convention will take the
form of organized oppositition to the
passage of the parcel post bill.
Southern retailers realize the fact
that the passage of the bill would
mean the concentration of business
in the hands of few big retail mail
order houses at the north and east,
retardation of southern progress,
destruction of many retail and whole
sale merchants in this territory and
the injury of all interests in the
country and small towns. At bot
tom, the purpose is to be able to say
definitely to southern congressman
and senators, The interests of
your constituency demand the de-
feat of the parcels post bill. -
A number of prominent men, gov
ernors, senators, congressman and
business men particularly well in
formed as to the significance of the
oill, will address the convention.
While the parcels post question is
paramount. Other questions of
,ital interest to merchants will be
discussed by heads Of successful bus
ness houses in southern cities.
The manufacturing and jobbing
interests of Nashville and of other
titles are in thorough sympathy with
he movement. The jobbers and
of this city have join
d with the retailers to entertain the
thousands who will attend the con-
ention. During the four days,
luncheons, theatre parties,
arades and other forms of enter
ainment and amusement will be
rovided.
Low rates to the convention have
cen made by all southern railroads.
