Chase Believes Cree
Will Improve in Every
Branch of the Game

If "Birdie" Cree, the New York
Highlanders' star OutfiClder
and sluggeT, doesn't better his
batting record Of 1911, and that
was some record, too, one Hal
Chase, former manager Of the
team, and at present first
baseman of the first water, is
going to be very much disap-
pointed. "This fellow Cree Is
one of the most promising per-
formers l have ever seen In ac-
tiOn," says Chase. "F" is a
rattIing good fielder and at the
bat Is a perfect terror. On the
bases he looks as good. as the
best. l look for Cree to give
Cobb and Jackson a rub for the
first hOnOrs this season."

ONE FIRM HAS FIVE
THOUSAND BARRELS
OF POTATOES STORED
SECOND CROP THROUGHOUT
COUNTY PERHAPS SLIGHT
" ABOVE AVERAGE.
LEVEL PRICE ALL The SEASON
One Firm in the, City Has Paid Out
a Handsome Sum for the Product
Now in Their Cellars for the Win
ter-PracticalIy All In.

The amount of the second crop of
Irish potatoes stored in the Columbia
cellars by the dealers in the city Is
pretty considerable. One firm that
has been purchasing from the farm
ers this season now has stored in its
cellars in the city more than 5000
barrels, and the bulk of this storage
Is of the Red Triumph seeding.
G. D. PARK, in speaking of the crop
this morning stated that it was per-
haps slightly above the average, and
that the quality was of very accept
able character, some Of the crop be-
ing of an exceptionally fine size and
flavor There were few crops, now
ever, that have been heard of, that
were unsatisfactory, and this would
have been the case in a majority Of
the reports had 1t not been for the
late frosts and the warm fall wsath-
err.
The digging is all over throughout
the county, and there are but few
yields contracted for delivery In Co
lumbia.
The price of $1.75 has maintained
throughout the season, and Park
Bros. alone have paid out more than
$500 for the late crop, while there
are thousands of barrels still in the
hands of producers, other dealers in
the city and county have paid out
considerable sums, and the tubers are
now in storage for the winter.

STOLEN ELECTION RETURNS.

According to the advice of Attorney
! General Gates it is, the duty OF the
commissioners of election of Madi-
son county to supply by the "best
secondary evidence obtainable" the
stolen election returns Of that coun-
ty. The opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral is not only sound law and entire
ly logical, but it is founded upon
common sense. If, as the states dis
tinguished legal adviser says,
the commissioners could be
deprived Of the right and authori-
ty to canvass and certify the returns,
the very purpose for which elections
are held, that is the ascertainment
of the popular will, would be defeat
ed by the act of thieves and knaves.
1t should not be very difficult mat
ter, so soon after the election, to sup
ply with reasonable accuracy the re-
turns from all the voting places from
which the theft or Official returns
took place. The attorney generals
opinion will doubtless serve as a
warning to election thieves in the flu
ture and show them how futile such
reprehensible conduct is to change
the result OF the election.
The attorney general can always
be depended to give disinterested adj
vice where the interests of the state
are involved. The legal affairs OF
the state are always in safe hands
when Gates Is at the helm. He COM
bines unusual legal penetration and
discernment with sound common
sense and thorough honesty. He
would make this state a great sena-
tor; In fact there Is not man In pub
lie life within its bounds better equip
ped for that exalted office than
Charles T. Gates.

THE NASHVILLE BANNER.

No one Can estimate the debt of
gratitude which the good people OF
Tennessee owe to the Nashville Ban
ner for its valiant fight for good gov
srnment the past two and a half
years. Without the shadow of turn
ing, consistently and courageously
that paper has fought every day for
the highest ideals of good citizen,
ship. It has never faltered. It's ire
mendous influence has ever been
thrown in the scale in behalf of let
ter things in fair Tennessee. It has
encc antered the enmity and the cal
jimmy Of the organs and representa-
tives Of special interests but that is
the penalty that must always be paid
for courageously battling for the
right. The character Of the Banners
enemies is high tribute to the eff
fectiyeness Of it's fight for the right
Under the leadership of the ban
ner the forces of law and order have
won in Middle Tennessee the great
est victory that they have ever
achieved. 1t is in this section that
the Banner has its largest circulation
and Yields its greatest influence and
the power of that influence is album
dainty proven in the returns ir the
gubernatorial and legislative races in
the counties of this division and also
in the holly contested congressional
races in the fifth and seventh dis
tricts. All hail the Banner, the great

Memorial on Death Of Good Mar
Adopted by the Sunday Schoc,
of the First Methodist Church.
One of the chief pillars of Method
ism in Columbia has been stricken
down by the mighty arm of death
The quiet, modest, Christian gentle.
man, John Latta, is no more. That
brain dome Of thought and palace of
the soul heretofore occupied in such
ceaseless activity, in devising plans
for the amelioration of his kind and
for the preservation in their purity
of his state and church Is tenantless
and deserted. Those eyes that beam
ed SO kindly upon us at all times are
closed in long, sweet sleep. Those
lips from which flowed, as from a
fount the maxims Of wisdom and the
precepts of experience, are sealed in
the silence of death. That tongue
that only uttered words of kindness,
gentleness and purity lies silent in
the grave; and yet he still lives He
lives in the hearts of those who
knew. He lives in the beauty of his
example. The flashes that emf
nate from his quiet, modest, true
Christian life will penetrate far into
the darkness of the future and have
its influence upon the unborn genera
tons. Such lives never lose their in
fluence.
Brother Latta was born in Maury
county on April IA, 1874, and was 68
years old. When quite young man
he Joined the Methodist church In
September, 1876, he was made slew

he was the man of all works. How !
small or however large the matter,
Brother Latta was always the man |
that could be relied upon to perform |
the task. We shall miss him sadly at |
the church door, where he always |
met every conner with a smile; but
II we are faithful to the end, as he
was, he will surely meet us again at
The beautiful gate, and usher us into

He was man of strong character
