DEMOCRATS

Platform.
D0MINATEDBY PATTERSON
Ex-Governor Was In Control and
1t Is Even Stated That He
Wrote the Platform On Which
McMillin Isto Stand Patterson
Openly Shows His Power and
Addressed the Convention.

The Democratic convention whIcf
met in hvilleThursday was not thu
bowling success it was hoped for. Ir
the first place it was the most slimly
attended Democratic convention in
the recollection of any Democrat, and
when it finally adjourned it was moi
with feeling of having done well, but
of having escaped with as little dam
age as possible.
The convention organized with X.
T. McCornnico as temporary chair.
man, and this distinguished Nashville
lawyer made brilliant speech.
The committees were named and
then began fight within the plat
form committee which prevented the
convention from getting together
again until 9p. m. In the meantime
however, there were found spellbind-
ers who desired to talk to the Demo
Gratis and the. first of these was ex::
governor Patterson. Patterson began
his speech after the outburst of ap-
p!ause which greeted him with the ex-
preston of "This looks like old times
His speech was along pathetic, senti-
mental lines, He talked of Dixie and
frantically waved the bloody shirt and
wept over the old confederates and
his pension.
When Mr.. Patterson concluded
Frank p. Bond was called for. He re-
sponded, and while Mr.. Patterson
gave them "DiXie,' Mr.. Bond admin
istered more "Dixie' and appealed to
prejudice and sentiment solely. After
playing on "DiXieo to a finish, Mr..
Bond made direct and strong appeal
to the convention to accept the Repub
lican challenge and let the people
know what the Democratic party
stands for. He discussed at length the
history of the liquor fight in Tennes-
see, making direct argument for re-
peal of the present prohibition laws.
Discussing fusion he said, among
other things, that it gave the state a
political half-breed Senator and an
other straight out bargain-counter Re-
publican Senator.
Judge }. +. Jones of Union City
claimed the floor. He said he came
here as Democrat and as represen-
tative of the men in the ranks. He
said he wanted to see McMillin elected,
but that McMillin nor any other man
cannot be elected Governor Of Tennes-
see on whisky platform. He made
anrable speech advocating leaving the
question to the Legislature.
His declaration that the man in
town ought to obey the law like the
man in the country, produced storm
of applause. In fact, all of his speech
for law enforcement was vociferonsIy
appauded. He said that he would not

NIOdesty,

Who art thou, Man, that pre-
sumest on thine own wisdom! or
why dost thou vaunt thyself on thine
own requirements? .... 800.
The first step towards being wise,
is to know that thou are ignorant;
and if thou wouldst not be esteemed
foolish in the judgment of others,
cast oft the folly of being wise in
thine own conceit.
AS plain garment best adorn-
eth a beautiful woman; so a decent
behavior is the greatest ornament of
wisdom.
The speech of a modest man giveth
lustre to truth, and the diffidence
of his words absolveth his error.
He relieth not on his own wisdom; /;
he weigheth the counself of friend,
and receiveth the benefit thereof.
He turneth his ear from his own
praise, and believeth it not: he is
the last in discovering his own per-
fections.
Yet. as veil addeth to beauty, so
are his virtues set off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon
them.
But, behold the vain man, and OBJ
serve the arrogant: He clotheth him
self in rich attire he walketh in the
public street; he casteth round his
eyes, and courteth observation.
He tosseth. up his head, and over
looketh the poor; he treateth his in
feriors. with insolence; and his su-
periors in return look down on his
pride and folly with laughter.
He despiseth the Judgment of 9TH
ers; he relieth on his own opinion,
and is confounded
He is puffed up with the vanity of
his imagination. his delight is to
hear, and to speak of himself all
the day long.
He swalloweth with greediness his
own praise; and the flatterer in re-
turn, eateth him uD.-F'rom the
Economy of Human Life.

DRIVEWAY OF
BEAUTY FOR
NIAGARA FALLS
BOULEVARD NOW PLANNED
This Should Add to Scenic
Beauty

Niagara Falls, n. Y, June 14.-One
of the most impressive driveways in
the world, from the scenic standpoint
will be opened to the public next
month, stretching along the Canadian
bank of the Niagara River for sixteen
miles from the Falls to Fort Erie, OPP
posite the city of Buffalo. The boule-
ward has been laid out under the di-
rection of the commissioners of the
Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park, a
beautiful tract on the Canadian side
of the cataract, which has been devel-
Cped within the last year or so with II
view to harmonizing the surroundings
of Niagara Falls with the majesty
the spectacle itself.
Beginning near the Horseshoe Falls,
the boulevard skirts by the whirling
rapids and eddies above the cataract
until the calmer waters near Lake
Erie are reached, giving variety and
beauty of landscape rivalled perhaps
by no other driveway of equal length
in the world. The boulevard was
made possible through moneys paid to
the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park
authorities, amounting to about 5000,
coo annually by two American and one
Canadian power companies whose
plants are located on the Canadian
side of the Falls, and which are CO.
operating with the province of Ontario
to beautify the environment of the
great cataract.
Improvement of the surroundings of
the Falls is the last step necessary to-
ward preserving the cataract worthily
for future generations, the flow of wa
ter having been permanently guaran-
teed by the Canadian-American water
ways treaty, whicr sets safe limits on
the amount that may be diverted for
power purposes above the Falls. The
treaty is not yet fully operative in
this country, but will probably become
so with the expiration next spring of
the Burton law, a temporary measure
assed in 1906 to protect Niagara pend
ng the negotiations of an international
agreement.

TO THE Big CONVENTION
Georgia Bunch Move on Bal
timOFC With Brass Band

Atlanta, Ca, June 14.-Georgia's
delegation to the Democratic national
convention will travel to Baltimore in
style. A special train, furnished by
the Southern railway, will consist of
an observation car, a dining car, a
club car and five dissection drawing
room sleeping cars To it will be at
tached one of the Southern's fastest
and most powerful locomotives and the
entire outfit will be in charge of Mr..
James Freeman, district passenger
agent. This special will leave the
terminal station on Sunday morning,
June %, at 11:15 o'clock and except to
take on oal and water will make no
stops until it pulls into the station at
Baltimore at 7:45 a. M, June 10Th.
1t will be hung from end to end with
banners betokening it's mission.
These banners will be painted with
fiaring red and black legends indicat-
ing that the train carries the Georgia
delegation and this delegation is bent
upon the nomination of Congressman
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama, for
President of the United States.
Reservations on this train are be-
ing booked by delegates from all parts
of the state, who will begin to arrive
in Atlanta on Friday, June %. In ad-
dition to the 4S district delegates and
the eight delegates al large, the train
will transport 1875 other well-known
Georgians, who are going to Baltimore
to take part in the big doings.
Crawford Wheatley, of Americas.
one of the delegates from the state at
large, will be the master of ceremon-
les on the trip and it goes without
saying that things will be done up
brown"
Mr.. Wheatley demonstrated his pc
culiar fitness for this distinguished DO
sition on the trip to the Denver con-
Vention four years ago. On that Jour-
Eey he saw to it that there was not
dull moment. 1t is said that when the
train arrived at Denver Mr.. Wheatley
had four ring circus and numerous
interesting side shows were scattered
over the train.
Mr.. Wheatley is said to have many
new stunts up his sleeves for the trip
to Baltimore. He promises that it will |
be some accession"
On the convention special will be-
Thomas E. Watson, of Thomson. and
Thomas B. Fielder, of Atlanta. The
TWO Toms will doubtless furnish the
oyrotechnics for the caravan.
A brass band manned by spirited
md enthusiastic musicians, with a
special dispensation from the union
permitting them to play overtime, will
re feature of the trip. All in all the
idvance on Baltimore is to be a men,
'rable event.
