You boast of the great financial
success you nave made in life and urge
that as one of the main reasons why
you should be elected Governor of this
State Now, according 10 your own
statement, the public knows of but
one financial transaction that you ever
figured in, and that was the purchase
and sale of the Nashville American.
You say that you owned the controlling
interest in the American, and that
you lost $4,000 in eighteen months
in the publication of that paper. Does
this show great business ability, Mr..
Preston. You say you sold the
American to rid yourself of this heavy
loss. The public would like to know
all about this transaction and would
also like to know if you recouped your
loss in the sale of the American. Why
did you sell this paper just six weeks
before the election in November,
when the greatest struggle between
Democracy and Republicanism was
being waged in the history of Tenn
essee?
Mr.. Preston, why did you ask the
Democracy of this state to join the
Independents in the Legislature, after
you had sold the American to the
enemy of Democracy, TO pass bill to
create funding commis sion to refund
the State debt and make you chairman
of that commission? You say you
were not the author of the scheme to
make you Chairman of the funding
commission. Who were the promoters
of this Shylock deal, anyway? Why
did this scheme fail and who defeated
the deep laid plan by which you were
to have been made Chairman of the |
proposed funding commission as sub
mitted by some other gentlemen after
the dark lantern conference had been
held in Chattanooga?
Mr.. Preston, did you not know all
about this proposed deal before it was
submitted TO Messrs. Baxter, Vertrees
and Bradford, who promptly turned
down the deal? Was this part of the
deal in the sale of the American to the
enemy that you werel to be made
Chairman of the funding commission?
Mr.. Preston, are you going TO tell
the people of Tennessee all about the
banking business in your speeches?
Will you tell the young farmers and
business men how much easier it is to
make money in the banking business
han in their avocation2
Mr.. Preston, these questions are
passed upon the Eternal Principle, the
Right is Right, Wrong is Wrong,. and
light wrongs no one. The young
men of the State in particular have
/ peculiar interest in these questions,
md the answer to the same should
md will determine their vote. They
lave learned to take an interest in the
ivil welfare to their State, and it is on
heir new blood that the future hope
# the Commonw wealth is based. Will
ou answer these questions?

PrOlODging Life.

While no way has yet-been found to make
life perpetual, it is fact that life can be
prolonged. Many people die before their
time because the organs become clogged and
can not do their work To keep their body
open, active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia, Aalu-
lency, liver troubles, etc. If old or young
people suffer from these complaints they can
find ready cure with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is absolutely guaranteed to do what is
claimed, and if you want to try it before
buying, send your address for free sample

dealers at soc and ST bottle.

1875, 900 AMERICANS COL
T0CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report OF the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which is true and 1t is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found in the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks of that district.
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, one of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as ! have seen in this coun-
try and We had about twelve inches of
moisture, so that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin,
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

COFFEE HURTS
One In Three.

It is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee / became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum. / laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that finally had
some Postum made. I have been u.s.
ing it in place of coffee ever since, for
] noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. I be.
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use of stick
ing to a beverage that was injurine
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country / remarked to young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that had
already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving off
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
a reason"
