DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

What promised to be a very warm
political contest Monday in the Obion
County Democratic convention was for
tunately averted by a conference be-
tween the friends Of Judge Moore and
Judge swiggart and an agreement that
the delegates to the State convention
should be divided equally between them
and that Judge Moore should be in
dorsed as long as his name remains be-
fore the convention.
Before the convention was called to
order by the chairman OF the County
Executive Committee, Judge w. H.
Swiggart appeared and made a state
ment in effect as follows:
He referred to the fact that large
number OF friends in this county and
many influential Democrats over the
State had solicited him to make the
race for the Court Of Civil Appeals, this
being based on the idea that, as Judge
Buchanan, Regular Democrat, would
receive the nomination for the Supreme
Court, it would strengthen the party
and the harmony movement should the
Democratic candidate for the Court OF
Civil Appeals be selected from the 9TH
er faction OF the party, and for this
and personal reasons he had been solic-
tied to make the race, but that on ac-
count Of his friendly relations with
Judge Moore he had declined to be-
come candidate; that he had not al
any time given aid to the movement IN
his behalf, that he was aware OF the
fact that number of the districts in
this county had instructed their delega,
tions to this convention to vote for him
but that as he was not candidate ht
thought the county should be instruct
ed for Judge Moore. Judge Swiggar
stated that he was not insensible to ths
kindness OF his frieuds, that he appre
ciated their kind offices and good vii
far more sincerely than any political op
portunity it might afford, but that b.
was not candidate as stated and fel
that he should make this statement t
the convention.
p. ID. Hornbeak called the conven
ton to order and @. r. Wilson, Of Troy
was elected chairman by acclamation
with H. G. Stanfield and members Q
the press secretaries. J i. Fry offer
ed the harmony proposition, including
two sets Of delegates before mentioned
and resolutions indorsing Judge Moore
stating that il Judge Moore could no

peals.

fITF you all write about Atlanta
as It is today do not fail to
speak Of another Atlanta,
the city as II was in 1855.
The suggestion OF the old settler
was a good one and follow 1t, Civ
ing the long ago Atlanta prece-
dence
The long-ago Atlanta had pop
ulation of about $4,000, and nearly
ali were more or less poverty
stricken. There was not money
enough in the entire city to build
an ordinary three story brick
structure. Nearly all the brick
buildings In the business center had
fallen a few months before as the
result of battles and flames, and
the bricks we're scattered in shape
less piles in streets and, alleys. All
the wooden structures had disap-
peared. There were hundreds of
bleaching ash heaps. and in resi-
dence districts there were other
heaps Of bricks and piles OF yellow
ing ashes
shade trees had been broken by
shot and shell or blighted by
flames from burning homes The
city. from north to south and from
east 10 west, extended lass than a
mile and halfs II was city Of
almost penniless people. But SELF
respect. spirit, hope. faith and de
termination had not been shot
away or burned out That explains
why we see the queenly city OF At

Give the picture OF old Atlanta as

as your imagination will permit.
and then compare II with the other

II is true that TO A greater ex-
tent than was the case with any
other Southern city Northern men
and Northern capital have gone TO
Atlanta and have been decided

alone would never have made such

"A FAMA SAYS the fairies grew weary
M OF not having people believe
That fairies exist in this dreary,
sad world. where so many hearts
grieve-
And so their belongings and fxirgs,
Their dresses, light. finnsy as air.
In thimblelike cases they packed with
their laoes,
And fed away no ems knows where.
Now. ever since then we've been watt

And hoping to see them return,
Some spring when the birds are all
mating
Ard violets are under the fern.
But only perhaps stray fairy
Has ever come back. now and then,
To cheer with its presence the child Of

Then quickly has vanished again.
But have been thinking and thinking
That maybe il every one tried
And wished for year without wink

To come back and live as they used to

Her education was furthered. hst
memory strengthened and taste
cultivated by this method.
One OF Americas great seien-
tifc men began the musical educa-.
ton of his baby girl when she was
a day old
He had certain musical chords
struck in the room where she was
lying every day. so that her ear
should become accustomed to har-
mony.
And as she progressed sweet airs
were played gently in the room.
Life was never meant for mere
hard work, for mere stern duty, nor
only for the commonplace neces-
sary toll which keeps the world 60
ing. skilled chef garnishes his
meats with sprays of green, and
the flowers of the arts should gar
nish the dish of everyday life.
Emerson, our great philosopher,
and scholar, lost the powers of his
mind before he reached three score
years.
Had he given portion OF every
day, or even few hours weekly, to
something which took his mind
away from the serious things Of
life. had ne cultivated art, or an
accomplishment. or allowed himself
to become frivolous as distrac-
ton, there is no doubt he might
have retained his usefulness much
longer.
In Pompeii there are deep ruts
in one of the narrow streets, made
by the passing of chariots centuries
ago.
The passage was not wide enough
to allow the chariot wheels any
margin, and they followed out the
deep ruts by continually passing
over the same places.
So do thoughts on one subject,
without any variation, wear ruts
in the brain.
This is an age of specialists.
But while one may specialize on
the principal object of his life,
there remains enough time for him
to. gain ornamental graces of mind.
if he understands their Importance
and uses his hours wisely.
Music. art, poetry, dancing. phys
ical culture, fashion mad bit of
frivolity now and then (olean and
moral frivolity) should be respected
by the wisest philosopher, the most
profound student and the greatest
of geniuses And they should be
called in at times to sweeten life,
prolong usefulness and enlarge the
scope of human enjoyment.

TT HESE words are worthy of
deep respect and careful con
sideration
Every man and woman who is
not obliged to spend all of the day
light hours in hard toll for the nee
essities of life ought to use some
portion of each day in acquiring the .
things which lend life grace and
charm.
There was woman who attained
a high position in the intellectual
world
She had studied largely and
widely; and she VAS known as an
eminent instructor of the young,
from one end of. her native land
to the other She had been reared
by parents who believed in edu-
cation, but who thought music was
a frivolity and dancing an inven-
ton of the devil. In her maturity

Simple Matter To Teach
Child To Love Poetry.

A brilliant actress. who was ia
nous for learning her roles quickly
and without effort, said that her
mother began with her at the age
of four to teach her two lines of
verse daily.
Al that early period the mind Of
child is like film of a camera
exposed to the view, and takes its
impressions instantly
Each day the two lines Of verse
were added. until at the age Of ten
the little lady could repeat Who'll.
cantos OF verse and acts of drama.

Music, Dancing, Poetry and
Drama Aid Happiness.

Music, dancing, poetry. the thea

the prolongation Of youth; to the
beauty and charm of life.
Give your children the opportun-

things.
Take them UP yourself, nov in
full maturity or middle life. if YOU
can manage TO steal the time from
imperative duties.
Many idle women are bemoaning
the f1eeting charms of lost youth

ten fold more attractive and enter
tanning than they we're in their
youth, did they apply themselves to
the study Of music. of dancing, of
poetry

miracles at the end of years

And the character issstrengthen-
ed and bettsred by the concentra-
ton applied to some one purpose

The child who is not given the
rudinents of music and dancing.
and who is not taught to care for

great scientist Darwin and the
woman of intellect felt they were
robbed of something which meant

to read some poetry and listen
to some music at least once week,

loss of these tastes is loss of hap

rious to the intellect, and more prob
