A GENEROUS HARMONY.

| This seems to be time for general
overhauling of views and opinions
among democrats and for frank express
sions of a willingness to modify judg-
ments, especially those that appear to
have been hastily formed or that have
been based on pride OF personal opinion
or intense factional loyalty. AS proof
of this our newspaper friends hitherto
attached to the fusion idea of accomp-
fishing what they believed they were
after, are almost unanimously joining
the movement for party solidarity and
consequent burying of past differ
ences; all of VIII ch is promising and
hopeful.
AS equally if not more strongly sig
nalizing this movement for harmony
we note Enthusiastically manly and
frank editorial in the johnson City
Comet, in which the editor, the Hon.
Cy Lyle, takes occasion to congratulate
Senator John |. Cox and to commend
him sincerely and generously for the
keynote speech he delivered at Blount-
vile, rendering an account of his stew
ardship in the recent1egislative session.
We reprint The Comets editorial else
where and commend its perusal to our
readers.
In this connection, and as indicating
the force of the harmony movement
among democrats, it is in point to say
that Mr.. Lyle and Senator Cox have
not been political or otherwise
-for some, which fact gives all the
more force and emphasis to what the
editor has to say. The spirit exhibited
by Mr.. Lyle is the kind that seems to
be abroad in the -magnanimous
forgetfulness of past grievances, real or
fancied, and foregathering of all the
elements holding genuine democratic
principles and doctrines for a united
attack upon a common enemy. We
congratulate the editor OF The Comet
for his broadmindedness in this partic-
ular and Senator Cox for that he has
so clearly and ably blazoned the way
for democratic sgetting together" and
a consequent victory at the polls in
1912. Chattanooga Times.

WRITES NOVEL,

Guy Steely, author of "Wally"--a
novel which Dodd, Lead Il Company
have Just published, and which bids
fair to be among the years big sellers,
is we'll known in this city through his
many visits here in the interest of
various amusement enterprises. Mr..
Steely's advent as writer of books is
only to be expected, rs his clever short
stories have indicated that ultimately
this would be his field. The scenes of
"Wallyn are laid in Nevada minind
camp, and the story is delightfully."-
Western in style. The characterization
is charmingIy true to life, and the
absorbing mystery Of lost mine
carriers the readers through page after
page of dramatic chapters. 1t is just
enough of love story to please all sort
of people in all parts of the land, and
the central character of "syaliy" will
be welcome friend in thousands of
homes. 1t is a wholesome story for
wholesome people, that should bring

BOUND OVER
WITHOUT BAIL

Zeb Peterson, one of the trio of Pc
terson, who are charged with having
fired the shots into hack at Green
Mountain, Yancey county, North Ger
DINA, few days ago, that resulted in
the instant death of Robert McCay, of
the McCay Construction company,
having surrendered to the authorities,
has been held to court without bail.
He was given hearing at Burnsville.
He told on the stand that it was Par
ham and Bob Peterson, his cousins,
who fired the fatal shots. He said that
he had warrant for negro who was
in the party of laborers gathered by
McCay, whose company is construct
ing a railway out of Newport, Tenn,
into the North Carolina mountains,
and that he was firing upon this
negro, when his cousin took up the
matter and fred into the hack, killing
McCay and mortally wounding the
two young negroes. His cousins are
still at large. 1t was admitted the
Petersons were all drinking at the
time.
Upon the theory that Zeb Petersons
did not fire the fatal shot, his attorney
applied to Judge Lyons, of Marion N.
c., for writ of habeas corpus. The
impression in Yancy county seems to
be that Zeb Peterson was equally
guilty with his cousins in the triple
tragedy of last week.

FIRST DISTRICT POLITICS.

First district politics seem TO bt
warming up and developments more
or less interesting are likely to follow
each other within few days or weeks
at most. Gov. Hooper, whether limo
Gently or purposely, has apparently
added Fastening touch to the situa-
lion by the appointment Of DR.. Keener,
of Kingsport, Sullivan county, to be
surgeon at Brushy mountain. DR..
Keener is an Old.tme friend of Con
gressman Brownlow, and was post
master at Kingsport until removed-it
is stated through the influence Of Con-
gresham Sells. His appointment,
therefore, is in accord with the state
ment made by various politicians OF
the First district to The Chattanooga
Times in effect that there was breach
between Congressman Sells and Gov.
Hooper. Mr.. Sells grew very red in
the face at the time and Indignantly
denied the story, while the governor
characteristicall "sneered at 1t, but
there have been many well informed
republicans who have emphatically
declared its truth.
This appointment, following recent
meeting of insurgent republicans, at
which the name of Judge Henderson
was conjured with as an opposing cam
didate to Mr.. Sells, would seem to bear
out the report that all was not smooth
sailing for Mr.. Sells, and that Gov.
Hooper and the doughty congressman
were not as much "at oneness as for
merly. In other words, Congressman
Sells friends aren't altogether satisfied
with the governors promised system
of "nonpolitical and nonfactional ad-
And there are those
who are winking solemnly and predict
ing that the Jonesboro Herald and
Tribune was inspired when it said
some time ago that the governor would
not refuse, If the thing looked encour-
aging, to get into the congressional
fight himself.-Chattanooga Times.

RALLY DAY FEATURES
INTERESTING SUNDAY.

The Sunday-sehool Rally Day al
the First Presbyterian church on Sun
day last was one of the most enthusi-
astic and successful Sunday school
meetings ever held in the church. More
than three hundred were present to
hear an interesting program. The fea-
ture of the meeting was the application
of the interest manifested in baseball,
to church work. Speakers were as
signed for short talks along this line,
each speaker being designated for a
position on baseball team. The
speakers and their subjects were f. w.
Hoss, second base, on the subject of

base, on "Sacrifice;;" Frank Taylor,
short-stop, on "Skill;" A. F. Hoss,
pitcher, on opportunity 20 do ones
best, and The Message Prof. Sowder,
catcher, on "Joining Forces and Work
ing Together These speakers were
followed by Rev. E. P. Glass, the new
minister, who made an interesting ap-
plication of the principle to the "as-
sists of the Sunday-school in church
work. Special music was furnished
by the choir and by number of girls
in appropriate selections. A large col
lection of $18.13 was taken.
The morning church service was
largely attended and was made unusu-
ally attractive and instructive by Rev.
Glass, this being his first service after
his call to the church some weeks ago.
Rev. Glass took advantage of the large
attendance and the interest generated
in the Sunday school service, to create
widespread interest in the church
work, at the beginning of his pastorate,
and his sermon created a profound i'm
preston. The afternoon service, though
not so well attended, owing to the in
clement weather, was of unusual in
terest, and the beauty, thought and
logic of Rev. Glass sermon were force
fully emphasized.

EX-SENATOR FRAZIER
OUT IN INTERVIEW
TENNEssEE's VOTE NEEDED
Gr atState Convention Preferred as
Means to Best Secure Express
sion of the Peoples Will.

Nashville, Sept. 80-Ex Senator
james B. Frazier gives The Democrat a
aelglhy interview in the morning, in
which he discusses national politics
and Tennessee's part therein. He says
i'm part
The electoral vote Of Tennessee will
be needed 10 elect democratic presi-
dent, and the democrat who stands in
the way of party harmony a ID party
unity next year will be an enemy to
democratic principles. 1t seemsto me
that the time has come when every pa
triotic democrat in Tennessee should
raise his voice and exer ins influence
TO bring about peace and harmony in
the party.
II seems to me that all that is neces-
sary to bring this about is for the two
committees representing the two wings
of the party to stop quibbling over the
question of which is regular and which
is not, and agree that ut the proper
time they will join together in a call
for a primary, il one can be held under
such legal restrictisnS nd safeguards
as viii protect IL from repeating and
illegal voting and ballot-box stufiing,
SO that il will correctly record the will
of the majority Of the democrats of the
state; or, better still, for an old-fashion-
ed democratic convention fixing day
nt which all democrats shall, in the
several counties of the state either by
primary, delegated convention or such
other mode AS .lhe democrats OF the
counties may themselves elect, select
delegates to that convention. Then,
when the representatives, direct from
the people, meet in convention, we can
safely trust them to write a democratic
platform so sound and conservative
that every democrat in the state can
stand upon ii.
nate candidate for governor of known
probity, character and ability, such as
will command the respect Of all fac
lions Of the party and all of the people
.of The state, and put him upon the
stump TO discuss before The people the

aud relieve the state of republican
administration which has been weak,
insipid and extravagant; which has
inacgurated no remedial legislation,
and which has played small politics to
the injury of the credit and the neglect
