Governor Pntterson's Message


 Nashville, January Ex-Governor Pat rson in his annual message to the gem cral assembly today recommends liberal concentrations for the maintenance of the experimental state normal schools recently established by act of the legis- lature Three of these schools are for whites and one to be located at Nash vile for colored pupils. He also recom- mends the state fair to the favorable at tention of the legislature and urges the establishment of an agricultural station for the middle of the state. the western and eastern divisions already having been provided. He recommends a woman fac tory inspector, juvenile reformatory. tuberculosis hospitals. and in regard to the criminal laws urges a parole system and indeterminate sentences. He directs attention to the commendable manage ment of the penitentiary and shows by the treasurer's report that for the year for 1909 the excess of income over disburse- ments was 9S,155.12. and for the year 1910, SIS, 355. .bS, making a total for the two years of $216510. 70 clear profit to the state. Deducting disbursements for betterments the state prison has actually made $2S6, ,952 clear profit
 Governor Patterson recommends the re- neal of the present election law of the state on the ground that 1t Is partial in its operation. He states that in his opin- ion this law was designed for fraud and that there has not been an honest general election in Tennessee since its enactment.
 He recommends the adoption of consti- tutional amendments so as to make the secretary of state. state treasurer, state comptroller and state attorney general elecive by the people and to make the term of the governor four years, instead of two.
 Governor Patterson in his message strongly condemns prohibition, pronounc- ing 1t fundamentally and profoundly wrong as a governmental policy, and in a country where the largest measure of freedom of action is accorded the indi. vidual it becomes intolerable'' He recom- mends high license, strict regulation and forfeiture of license for violation of law
 The governor recommends the repeal of what is known as the manufacturers bills and so much of the four-mile law as will restore the right of local self-govern~ ment to those citizens that were not permitted to vote upon the question.

Detected in the act of stealing

Patton barber shop on Main street
and caught after an exciting pursuit
by Henry Hobson, the colored boot
plack at the o. X. barber shop, Jim
Reilly is now in the city Jail afaiting
the course of the law. 1t was about
S o'clock yesterday morning that
Reilly attempted TO pull off his day
light burglary stunt. Entering
through 2 back door. he gathered up
two pairs of shoes, Panama hat and
a pair If trousers. Hobson entered
the front door and heard the noise in
the rear room. Investigating he dis
covered Reilly who broke and ran
when he saw that he was discovered.
Still holding onto his purloined ar
ticles, he sped down Garden street
with Hobson in hot pursuit. He was
overtaken after a short distance had
been traversed and the colored cap
tor held him while a man riding by

chill ORDERS wARsHIPS.
Dreadnoughts a Reply to Neighborlng
Nations

Mexico City.-Chili's order for two
great battleships of the super-dread-
nought type is in the nature of a re-
ply to the implied challenge of her
rivals on the east coast of the south
ern continent for Brazil led off in
dreadnoughts, being followed by Ar
gentina which placed her contracts
with builders in the United States.
The completion of the new ships will
bring the combined South American
fleet up to seven first class. battleships
and craft, mostly destroyers. Cruisers
do not seem to be favored.
Some of the Argentine papers have
ventured to doubt the wisdom of max
ing so heavy an expenditure as is in
volved in the construction of formid-
able battleships, but public opinion
backed up the government, it being
reasoned that it would not do to allow
Brazil to become the predominant ma
val power in southern waters. And
after Argentina gave her order th(
Chilians left they could not afford
to be left behind. Thus in a minor
way these South American nations are
intimating the naval rivalries II the
old world countries. 1t seems a de-
| plorable waste of good money on th'
part of young nations which lack
funds to perfect their school system
to make sanitary their towns and tc
| do a hundred and one necessar!
things. Competition in sea armament
is enormously costly, as the expert
ence of old and rich nations has amp
| ly shown.
Such great expenditures on the par
of young and debtor countries. exjen
ditures wholly unproductive, check lie
climate development. South Ameri
ca is in no peril of aggression an
has no need of powerful navies.

To erect the monument several

further back in the plot could be
transported to another site, but Com
missioner Stover said that as he had
found 1t would cost $1,000 and there
was no certainty that the tree would

Jackson, Miss, at Draughton's Bust
ness College, and soon after return

Office under Dan Breland, which po-
sition he now holds and so far as we
have seen and know has discharged
creditably. Naturally the people
have watched him in the place which
he has held, as many of our good citi-
zeus bad in mind the fact as they al
ways do along towards the expiratio n
OF an administration, that they would
have to be looking around for a sue
cessor to Dan, aud of course til, y
trained their eyes on Jake with an
idea of seeing how he was measuring
up.
He feels confident that he has
made a good impression, as he tells
us that he has received solicitation
from pretty well every section Of the
county and feels confident that among
such solicitors he has a constituency
that will deliver him quite crop Of
votes, and besides he proposes to Vi
gorously canvass the situation from
this forth, presenting his candidacy
personally to every elector il posi-

Frank Green of this city, and on the
Green side has q large connection out
about Washington and McLain espe

daughter of Elk Supervisor, Lum
Roberts, has also q large connection
On his mother's side JAKE also has {
