PROF. PEOPLES
. ON BIBLE STUDY
SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE AT
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
SUNDAY NIGHT.

The meeting at the First Methodist
church Sunday night under the aus
pices of the Ninth District Sunday
School Convention was we'll attend
ed, and the address of Prof. Peoples
was well received.
The subject of the address was
"Tne Study of the Bible" and was
handled in most interesting way,
the speaker going into the character
istics of the leading characters Of
the Book.
He introduced his subject by q ref
erence to "the six best Sellers" say
ing that he doubted if of his vast au-
0ience could name the list that was
named ten or twenty years, or even
five years ago. Further the speaker
made reference to the fact that in
more Of these lists from year to year
was the Bible to be found, and yet,
he said, it belonged with and in the
lead of every list that is made out.
No man is educated or informed;
whether he reads for spiritual benefit
or Intellectual advantage, the Bible
was an absolute necessity, and no II
brary was complete without it.
Mr.. Peoples is a man of profound
thought and student of very high
order, and the Sunday school people
did well in bringing him here. He il
a Sunday school worker, and gets les
sons out Of Bible teachings that ara
easily applied to life in its every
form.

see, and which have fomented strife
and dissentions among the people of
the state. But we are unwilling to
make any compromise upon questions
of principle which go to the very
foundation of government itself. We
will never compromise with those ell
ements of the democratic party which
encourage, oountenance and approve
the fragrant, open and deliberate vio-
iations of the laws of the state. We
believe that this should be a govern
ment of law and that when the law
making power has spoken and stat
utes are written upon our law books
they should be obeyed by every indi-
vidua or interest, rich o. poor, great
or small; any faction which teaches
a contrary doctrine is un-democratic,
un-American ard a menace to the
peace, security and liberty of the ma
ton.
Therefore, we denounce those Of.
flcial5 through whose connivance, ap-
|proval and deliberate malfeasance in
office. the laws of the state have been
and are now being nullified and its
majesty insulted. Any party which
seeks to perpetuate itself in power
through an alliance with the corrupt
and lawless elements of society
should be rebuked; and any party
which stands sponsor for sworn Of
ficials who treat their sacred oaths
with scorn and contempt and become
aiders and abettors in the violation
of the law, is unworthy of confidence
Therefore in order to harmonic
and adjust the differences in the lem.
ccratic party and restore it to power
in this state it must be divorced from
lawless and criminal elements which
use it as cloak to hide their infsmy
To be successful the democratic par

cannot win by an alliance with the
gamblers, bootleggers and others who
openly ply their unlawful and meta

We are unalterably opposed to their

lions, where only legal voters may

fairness in elections and should be re-
tanned upon the statute books.

would accrue to the state from an
adjustment of the differences in the

INSTRUCT REPRESENTATIVES AT

BRIEF MEETING OF The PEOPLE
Representative Gathering Of Demo-
Gratis From Over County Approves
Call for Convention to Be Held at
franklin on June 4.

IL a convention that lasted only
about fifteen minutes the democrats
of Maury county today appointed a
list of $50 delegates to the congress
sional convention to be held at Frank
lin on June 4 and instructed them to
vote for the nomination of Maury's
distinguished son, Hon. Lemuel p
Padgett.
There was no speech making in
the convention which was called to
order by Hon. ]. c. VOORHEES,, who
nominated William s. Fleming for
chairman. Mr.. Fleming was elected
and declared the convention open for
business. The representatives of the
press were elected as secretaries.
J. C. Voorhis then submitted a list
of 2h0 names which he moved be
elected as the delegates to the con-
gressional convention at Franklin:
The motion prevailed unanimously.
This list will be hereafter published.
]. I. Finpey offered the following
resolution which was unanimously
adopted:
"The democrats Of Maury county in

al convention to be held at Franklin
on June 4th.
1--WE point with pride to the record
of cur distinguished fellow citizen,
the Hon. Lemuel P. Padgett, as a
member of the congress of the United
States. He has been faithful to the
principles of the democratic party,
true 10 the interests of all the people
and 2ble and devoted in his attention
20 the duties of his high office. His
long experience in congress enables
MIN TO serve his district and his state
with increasing efficiency. The high
regard in which he is held by his fell
low members is fully attested by the
honors which they have repeatedly
heaped upon him. We believe that
to deny this district, state and nation
mis- emient services at this time by
retiring him to private life would be
little less than a public calamity.
Therefore the delegates appointed
by this mass meeting to represent
Maury county in the congressional
convention at Franklin on June 4th,
are hereby instructed to vote as a
unit for the nomination of Hon. Lem
uel P. Padgett for congress so long as
his name shall remain before said
convention.
Said delegation is hereby instruct

there really isn't any use discussing
it," said Mr.. McCurdy. "Mrs. Tracey,
whom l believe my brother Is ac-
cused of taking from her husband,
is merely his paid employee. She Is
housckeeper for him, his daughter,
Bessie, and his son, Sam. junior. who
is II. Both the children live with
him In Peabody place.
Since my brothers wife died, three
years ago, he has always employed
someone to look out for his house
hold affairs. Mrs. Tracey's prede-
cessor was a negress.'
According to the papers in the suit.
Mr.. McCurdy induced Mrs. Tracey to
leave her home and come to this city.
The complainant says that his wife.
a young and attractive woman. was
married to him in Boston and had
lived happily with him until the APP
pearance of Mr.. McCurdy. 1t was
on July 10 that Mrs. Tracey, the

SOCIETY
JEALOUS, SHE SAYS
Declares That Is Reason for
Opposition to Orphanage.

ciety was opposing her wholesale
adoption of children merely because

year-old Ernest Foster, of Fort
Worth, Tex, the latest addition to
her flock, was not going to be taken
from her.
Around Mrs. Murray, as she was
talking, were enough youngsters to
supply an orphan asylum-which,
by the way, is practically what Mrs.
Murray herself conducts, and all of
them seemed satisfied and happy in
their surroundings al Mrs. Murray's
