ROBERT c. CHURCH.

In the death Of Robert Cathey
Church Columbia and Maury county
lost most useful citizen. BY his
industry, his business ability, his in.
tegrity and his good judgment he had
forged his way to the very front
ranks of the financiers of the county.
He was faithful to every trust, gen.
erous with his means, a benefactor to
the Ioor and the deserving and cit
izen who was ever ready to give of
his means and his time for the ad-
vaneement of good cause. He was
wholly without ostentation and while
his lenefactions were liberal and nu-
merous he never gave for display,
but his motives were ever the best
and his generosity came from the
promp.ings Of heart that ever beat
in true sympathy with the needy and
the oppressed. He will be missed in
his church, in his bank and by the
whole community. The county can
Ill afford to lose citizens like Robert
G. Church.

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.

The announcement made yester-
day by H C. Weber of the plans for
the Columbia Military Academy was
most gratifying intelligence to the
people of this section. They are es-
pecially pleased to know that Col.
Hardy will continue to be associated
in the management of the school.
Col. Hardy has made a most useful
citizen, has been public spirited and
progressive and as one of the prin-
clpals of the academy for the past
seven years has demonstrated his
ability as an educator. He is per-
sonaily very popular with the citi-
zens of the county and is held in the
highest esteem by the patrons of the
institution.
Mr. Weber's statement that he ex-
poets to move to Columbia next Oct
obef and become a part of the life of
this community will be received with
genuine pleasure. He will be q dis
sinct addition to the community.
There are few ADLER school men in
the South than Mr.. Weber. His
capacity an an executive, as re-
soureeful director of affairs and as
an educator of the very highest at
tainn ents, have been repeatedly
demonstrated. Columbia is to be
congratulated upon. having Mr..
Weber for citizen.
The Military Academy is a source
of pride to the people of this sec
ton. II is one of the first institu-
lions of its kind In the land. The
people of Maury county have Loyalty
supported 1t and they have always
manifested the liveliest interest in
It's welfare. 1t should have a bril-
liant future and we believe that un-
der the direction OF Messrs. Weber
and Hardy 1t win do a work for the
education Of the youth Of the South
that win be second to that Of no In
stitution IN the land.

OBEY THE CONVENTION.

When the state democratic COM
mittee meets on May Is 1t should not
hesitate a moment about obeying the
instructions Of the state convention
to call general primary on August
1 for the nomination of candidates
for governor. senator and other state
officers. The fact that through an
error. Intentional or not, we cannot
Say, but through plain and patent er-
ror, contrary instruction was offic-
tally recorded, should in no wise af-
feet the situation. The fact is plain,
that the convention by decisive ma
jority favored the one primary plan.
rhe facts are of recU.d and the win
~ d,at convention should not be de-
feated by reason of the errors of an
incompetent or designing clerk. A
majority of the counties, the demo-
cratic counties too, and a majority of
the delegates voted for a one primary
plan. That should bind the commit
tee and we believe that Il will

ton and election ridden to death.
Constant and ever recurring elec-
lions and primaries are profitable to
certain politicians, but they are not
for the best interests Of the state
and should be discouraged rather
than multiplied.
The convention intended to order
but one primary. The plain facts
reveal that. Those facts can neith-
er be changed by an error Of an
incompetent clerk or by q piece Of
objectionable political legerdermain.
The people want general primary
for all officers In August. They
have said so and their will should

MAuRY NATIONAL BANK.

That the official burden OF this
stroag institution Is borne by the
broadcast shoulders and that 1t is in
the hands of a capable staff there Is
no doubt
The many expressions of approval
and CT good wishes heard upon every
hand bespeak the full and weil-de-
served confidence upon the part OF
the general public. The active offic-
ers, lIessrs Parker and Brownlow,
have proven themselves the most
capable bank managers. Mr.. Par
ker's capable management OF the
MAURY NATIONAL BANK since its
organization speaks its own message,
while Mr.. Brownlow's wisdom at
bank management has been actually
demonstrated in the successful career
and final liquidation of the old
FARMERS C MERCHANTS BANK.
beginning with the small capital of
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS,
the bank grew in capital to FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS, with de-
post line of more than THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS,
and filally liquidated in the exchange
Of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS of
MAURY NATIONAL BANK stock for
that Of the old bank. The most note
worthy feature in connection with the
liquidation of the bank by Mr.. Brown
low is that of the nearly THREE
HUNDRED THUSAND DOLLARS of
notes transferred to the MAURY Ma
TIONAI. BANK as good, only FOR
TY-EiCIIT DOLLARS proved to be
insolvent. and instead of winding the
bank up at an expense the books
show IN the other hand profit Of
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.
With such men in charge Of the
MAURY NATIONAL BANK and the
MAURY COUNTY TRUST COMPA-
NY, We predict that they will be
pushed to the fullest success.

THE PRIMARY.

Whether intentional or not the
mistake OF the secretaries of the
state democratic convention in max
ing announcement of the vote on the
question of two primaries is utterly
inexcusable. 1t was apparent to
marv in the convention when the
vote was announced that an error
had been made, but the noise was so
great, the confusion so intense and
:he chairman so anxious to have the
whole affair over with, that it was
impossible to secure a correction.
But the published, detailed vote re-
veale the true facts and that is that
the Carter substitute for one primary
Ia August with a platform conven-
tion was really adopted.
This should be binding upon the
state democratic committee. The
resolution reported by the conven-
ton committee and which was erro-
neousiy reported to have been adopt
ell, VAS merely a recommendation to
the committee. In view of the latter
revelations respecting the vote it is
evident that the convention wanted
but one primary and the state COM
mittae should so act. 1t would not be
practicable to reconvene the conven-
ton so that formal and legal action
might be taken in accordance with
the manifest wish of the majority,
tut the state committee should look
beyond the incorrect additions of the
secretaries to the real facts and act
accordingly.
Tho report to have two primaries
was never adopted by the convention
and should bind no one. It was .
compromise between those who

JOHN CLAY FERRIS.

Wh'n the angel of death summon.
ed tho spirit Of John Clay Ferris to
enter into eternal rest one of the
nobiest men of Gods creation passed
f1om earth Judge Ferris was a
oenefactcr. There are thousands Of
children in this state who are in
ae0ted to him for good homes, for
life Of hope. Without the aid that
Judge Ferris gave to the orphans
and the homeless during the greater
part Of his life these thousands
would today be outcasts upon the
world, no rainbow of promise would
iiiumine their horizon and oppor-
tunity would be denied them. He
vent into the waste places of the
world, into the abodes of crime and
poverty, into the asylums and the
poor houses, took the little children
into his loving arms and found good
homes for them. He found the lit
tie creatures whose birth was their
mothers badge of shame and gave
them into the care and custody of
those who would make them eood
fathers and good mothers. There
are hundreds of sterling citizens in
Tennessee today who, but for the
benefaeticns Of Judge Ferris, would
have been a charge upon the state
and outcasts from society. Judge
Ferries did work and accomplished
a good that only the infinite mind can
measure.

EVEN HANDED JUSTICE.

Virginia has again set a good
example for all of her sister states
In the speedy and impartial admins
traticn of justice. One of the lead
ers IN the mob which attacked and
killed several court officials of Allen
county has been convicted of MUIR
Ger in the first degree and must pay
the penalty of his crime with his
life. rhe crime was committed but
a slo-t time ago, but already one of
TIE members Of the mob has been ap-
pretended, convicted and sentenced.
The states great record for the ad-
ninis.rat'on OF justice made In the
Beattie case has been duplicated. It
is an example, which IL followed in
other states would soon wipe out
Americas disgraceful record for be-
ing the most murderous nation
among those OF the civilized world.
Gov Foss decision to allow the

PATTERSON IN GAME.

1t was bound to come. Patterson
simply could not any longer make a
pretense Of having effaced himself
from the politics of Tennessee. 1t
has been about the hardest job that
his advisers have ever had. that Of
keeping the ex-governor in the back
ground. He did not want to get out
of the race for governor and it was
not until he was thoroughly convinc-
ed that his defeat would be the most
emphatic and overwhelming ever
sustained by a candidate for office in
the state, that he agreed to withdraw.
Since shat time he has been longing
TO get back into the lime light. Hav-
ing held Office continuously for six
teen years he longs for the green
pastures and we'll filed cribs of the
public places.
Patterson has been disturbing
factor ever since he entered state pol
itics. Although he had been for six
years district attorney of Shelby
county and four years a member of
congress-, the Ex-Governor was not
known outside of his congressional
district until he announced as can
didate against the unspeakable John
l. Cox seven years ago. And there
las not been moment of peace in
the politics of Tennessee since that
hour. There has been constant tur-
MOL and strife and factional bitter
ness. The state has been divided. it's
business disturbed and its laws vio-
lated as never before since 1t was ad-
mitted to the Union. Patterson and
Pattersonism have been blignting
curse upon the state and the end is
not yet in sight.
OF course Pattersons announce
trent for the senate ends harmony in |
Tennessee on state issues. There can
De no peace as long as Patterson and
Pattersonism are acute issues in the |
state To the credit of some of the
original Patterson supporters it must |
be said that they advised the ex-Gov-
ernor against again being a candidate
for Office. They realized that, there
could not be any real peace in the
state or harmony in the democratic
party so long as Patterson was fac
or. No one denies his right to be
candidate for office this year or any
other year, that is his privilege but
he and his followers cannot now com.
plain Il campaign unprecedented
for bitterness is precipitated in the
state, Patterson's candidacy will
open all the old sores, it will destroy
all prospects Of peace in the state
and will prove a handicap to it's best
interests.
