SOME PRACTICAL IREASONS why
"CLARK'S" DOUBLE Disc HAR.
ROWS ARE: SUPERIOR TO ALL
OTHERS.

There is no neck-weight, because
the tongue is joined and can be used
with or without tongue and tongue
truck.
The team is hitched nearer the
work than others, this makes light
er draft.
It cuts the soil twice on all kinds
Of land; others do not.
There Is a reason, and you can see
for yourself. Clark's Getaway Discs
have more cutting surface the size
Of the disc considered, than others.
They are built for double work only.
When does farmer ever want to do
halfway work by cutting his ma
chine in two?
We invariably sell Clark's to the
Lest farmers as our sales on this
celebrated harrow show more than
Ill other makes combined.

ALL THE NOMINEES OF DAVID
SON COUNTY OF REGULAR
PERSUASION.

The primary election in Davidson

ALIENS ARE
BEHIND LOCKE
PRISONERS ARE TAKEN FROM
HILLSvILLE TO ROANOKE
BY SPECIAL TRAIN.

ROANOKE, Va, March 18.-Floyd
Alien. the outlaw; his son, Victor.
and bud" Marion, all Of whom are
held as principals in the sensation
al shooting at Hillsville, Va, were
safely locked in the Jail here today
to await action by the authorities.
The utmost secrecy surrounded
the removal of the bandits from the
center of disturbance. Judge Staples,
who has ben incharge of the Hills
vile court since the assassination Of
Judge Massie, the Sheriff and the
Prosecutor last Thursday, not only
made out the papers permitting the
removal of the prisoners, but &C
companied them personally from
Hillsville to this city. The trip was
made by special train, Allen, who Is
desperately wounded, being carried
to and from the train in an ambu-
lance.
The party accompanying the out
laws stated that the Aliens have SO
far evadee the force of 500 Getec-
tives, deputy Sheriffs and feudists
who are securing the mountains in
an effort to locate their hiding place.
The gang Is believed, however, to be
enternched in the mountain fast

kAURY REGULARS
WANT PATTERSON TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
vERTREES HAS STOOD IN LIT
TILE GIANTS WAY FOR AD-
vANcEMENT.
He is PAINTING FOR REVENGE
Telegram Sent Governor But Not
Signed by All Who Were Request
ed-Letters Written to McMiIIin
Before Request Came.

That the little giant" is being Inn
portuned by his crowd to get In the
race for governor is evidenced by the
fact that his friends here have tele-
graphed him to make his announce
mont, assuring him Of their loyalty
and anxiety to do something for him.
When Mr.. Patterson was here last
week he spoke t6S some of the politi-
Cal conditions with reference to him
self. While majority of the regu-
lars in Maury county 4are for Patter-
son first, last and all the time, some
of his warm personal friends told the
ex-governor that they werst of the
kopinion that it was inexpedient for
min to enter into the campaign this
year. A
1t Is well known. that Mr.. Patter-
son was in Nashville last week In at
tendance on the meeting Of the two
committees, and 1t is said that he de-
clared that if vertrees did not give
him b clean deal that he was ccnsid-
oring the matter of entering the race
for governor. The movements Of his
followers here is taken as an indica-
ton that he has given out the tip
that he didn't think he got square
deal
When the telegram was carried
around for signatures, being present
ed to only few of the leaders, there
were some who were sorry but had
"Just written Mr.. McMillin, asking
him to get into the race" Others
did not sign for the reason that they
did not consider it altogether the
proper thing for him to run this time,
and the boys who are expected to de-
liver the larger portion of thu votes
didn't even know what was going ON.
and never saw or heard Of the tele-
gram, and this publication will. be
their first information on that sub
ject. -
The ex-governor is known aeSbne
Of the best political fighters OF the
state, and his present attitude, is<but
a resentment of the fact that his SEN
atorial aspirations has received but
little encouragement-in fact was
rather discouraged. If the legislar
ture should be against the regulars
then he knows there would be no pos
sihllity Of his election to that body.
Without harmony he has about con-
cluded that the legislature will be
independent and he feels that Yer
trees is responsible for It all, and IL
ready to charge all the failure Of hiA
ambitions to the action of brotheI
Johns chairman. Should he entq
tho race for governor it would be for,
the purpose of eliminating Vertreel'
from the committee" -

substitutes back there Is Duncan,
May. Gamble and Harris M. that have

the new men that are promising.
McGehee, Kober and Harris are try
ing out as pitchers and are promis-

Friends and supporters of Con.
gresham Lemuel P. Padgett from ev-
ely county in the district, with two
o. three exceptions, were in confer
ence in Columbia today with view
to ascertaining the situation over the
district with reference to congress
slonal matters and to devise a plan
fol the nomination of candidate for
congl ess who would have the support
Iof the real democracy of the district
without regard to past or present fac
tional differeqfes. All factions Of
the democratic party were represent
cd at the meeting.
The conference was addressed by
Mr.. Padgett who stated again the
reasons why he had refused to enter
the machine primary. He said he
would subordinate any personal am
bition that he might have to the Will
of the democracy of the district, and
above all things he desired democrat
ic supremacy.
The conference adjourned shortly
after l o'clock until 2 o'clock this a.
ternoon at which time a sub-commit-
tee, appointed to draft a plan for &C
ton will report. 1t is probable that
this committee will recommend that
democrats, irrespective of past fac
tiona! differences who believe in fair
moss and justice in the ascertaining
Of the party will, meet in the various
county seats on the First Monday in
April to appoint delegates to q dis
trict convention which will nominate
a democratic candidate for congress.
The subcommittee which Is to
draft the plan for the conference is
made up of both regulars" and inde-
pendents, Hon. Joseph M Dedman,
the mayor of Columbia, being the
representative from Maury county.
Hugh Crockett, a prominent regular,
is the member from Williamson coun-
ty and. Lewis county is represented
by j. F. Carroll, member Of the dis
trict congressional committee anu
chairman of the regular democratic
committee of his county.
The conference was composed of
representatives from the counties of
Hickman, Dickson, Houston, Law
renee, Lewis, Giles, Maury and Will
hanson and was well attended. 1t
was most harmonious gathering
and members Of the conference,
without exception, reported that the
democrats Of their counties, without
regard to factional differences, were
dissatisfied with the action of the
congressional district committee.
It was the concensus of opinion
that Mr. Padgett should not make an
independent race but that he should,
in the old time, democratic fashion
be made the nominee OF the party.
All elogized Mr.. Padgett in the
strongest terms and declare tina. his
defeat at this time would be calam-
ity to the district. They all declared
that no seven or eight men had the
right to select a nominee for the dem
ocrats to vote Tor in race for con-
