WHOLLY FRACTIONAL.

The facti0nal nature OF the social
ed democratic primary on August l
is fully emphatized by the action OF
the regular" or factional democra-
tic committee. of this county. I'm
der the rules Of the primary each
county elects delegates to the state
convention. These delegates are
supposed to represent the will of the
democracy OF the county. 1t is not
the theory of the primary that they
should be machine made or the selec-
tons of party committee.
But in this county we have the
spectacle of committee claiming to
lie regular democratic committee
of the county meeting in solemn
conclave to make up SLATE" for
delegates for whom the people are
to be permitted to vote. Nothing
like 1t was ever known before in
Maury county nor elsewhere save in
tie palmy days of the Patterson
Ban-Murray "blocks-of-five" plan. A
county committee is supposed to re-
present the whole party. Its pro-
vince is not the making of slatesS
the selection Of delegates nor the
nomination of candidates. It Is as
sumed to give every man square"
deal who belongs to the party. But
in this county only the twenty-three
men who receive the impartial %
X" Of thss, spurious committee are
to be favored as delegates to the
state convention.
However, one could expect little
else from this committee. II is
purely a factional affair. 1t was
originally organized but a little
more than two years ago by few
holters from the regular organize
ton. Another lot Of members was
elected in the infamous Junebug
primary at which only about one
fourth of the democrats Of the coun-
~ voted. The committee was repu-
dated by large majority in Aug
ust, again in November. It has been
dying" to order primary for coun-
ty ofiices this year but lacked the
courage fearing that victims to en-.
ter the same could not be obtained.
1t il a relict of the old discredited
Patterson regime. It fully realizes
the fact as is evidenced by it's slate
making
The directing genius and guiding
star of the committee, it's master
hand, is quite a clever and amiable
gentleman but he has never demon
strated his popularity with the maj
Gritty of the democrats of this eoun-
ty and it is small wonder therefore
that the committee should be a fac
tional and not party committee.
1t is to be regretted that the spirit
of prescription that has been mani
tested by the so-called regular COM
mittee of this county ever since its
birth becomes more pronounced with
age There is small hope for har-
Inony in the democratic party as
long as one faction is so out of
harmony with the essentials of
democracy.

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From Tubereu
losIs Means Saving Of 1900
Lives In Ten Years.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the
death rate from tuberculosis in the
United States declined from 1863 Tor
each 100000 persons living to 1903, q
decrease of 1877 per cent, while the
general death rate, including all causes
of death, declined only one-half as fast,
or at the rate of 81 per cent, from
1850 to 1858, according to figures
given out by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention or Tu-
berculosis. The figures are based on
data distracted from the reports OF
the United States Bureau of the Cen
sus, and cover the registration area
in this country. According to the
statement, the tuberculosis death rate
has declined steadily since 1904, when
1t was 2016. On the other hand, the
general death rate shows fuctuation
downward in general trend. but not as
steady as the tuberculosis rate. The
decline in the tuberculosis death rate
in the last ten years means saving
of $1,000 lives at the present time.

sense Of humor, made a wager that
Binks could not eat fifteen.
