Gus crowd gave Col. Roosevelt what
he describes as "middling lively
time" here today, which added an
other chapter to the story of the col
onel's adventures in the south. Men
scattered through the crowd heckled
him as was done in Atlanta last Sat,
urday and succeedd in raising an up
roar which for the time drowned out
any attempt on Col. Roosevelt's part
to go on with his speech. He stood
his ground and matched one retort
with another until he had silenced
the dissenters.

ginning at Chattanooga. On the way
to Knoxville he made a number Of
speechs from his train. Late to-
night he left for North Carolina, the
last state in which he is scheduled

FIRST FROST OF
SEASON FALLS BUT
LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
NOT BELIEVED THAT THE IRISH
POTATO CROP HAS BEEN
INJURED.
ITS COMING Was A SURPRISE
Seldom That This County Ever Has
a Visit from the Frost King As
Early at the First Day of October.
Warmer Weather is Expected Now

And the frost lis 0n the pump
kin"
And it was this meaning. Ne doubt
about it. There was also a fsprink-
ling of frost of things besides the
pumpkin. 1t covered the gate posts
and the fence rails and was in the
low places and tine elevated spot
also. In other words there was "a
right smart frost" i'm this section and
the weather was a bit cold too.
Thermometers registered below
forty degrees ana i'm som cases dang
erously near the lfreezing point was
recorded.
However, so far as can be ascer-
tanned NO particslar damage was
done to the potato or other growing
crops The frost was mot heavy
enough and tthe mercury did not go
down low enough to iiiJl the pota-
toes or even the growing vegetables
for that matter. The pDtato grow is
the most important now fn the coun-
ty and IL the farmers >cxn have threel
more weeks free from "a Killing FROST
there Will be good yaeld, but a
heavy frost at this time would be
very disastrous to that crop as it
was planted very late.
Frost this morning was generally
a surprise. There had heen no WARM
ing issud IDy the weather bureau
and the Temperature last night was
but little lawer than stisB night be-
fore. Wanmer weather is expected
for the remainder of the week.
Not In wears has fncst fallen 20
early as the first day ~ October.
And anything like a killing frost is
usually two weeks later sand frequent
a month later than that time. The
spring was unusually la.e in coming
and it looks like the growing season
will be cut ut the other end also

NASHVILLE, Sept 27.-Ex-Goyer-
nor NJ r. Patterson unopposed can
didate Cor the democratic nomination
as Undtsd States senator, opened his
campaign Thursday evening at the
I, Ryman auditorium, when he address
ed AN audience of probably $500 per
sons The address was notable for
thR defense which the ex-governor
made of his former administration,
and particularly his pardming of Col.
d. B. Cooper, sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary for the .Mur-
der dof Senator Edward Garmack.
The address was the first deliver
ed by ex-Gov. Patterson in his own
behalf since his retirement from poll
Itics two vars ago. 1t marked his for
NAL entry into the political arena
4 las an office seeker, and for this rea-
son was franght with more than >ordi-
nary significance
Shortly after 8 O'clock Mr.. Pat
terson reached the auditorium and
lunannounced walked upon the ros-
ltrum. Without the tformality of an
Introduction or the presence of a
presiding ofEcer, he launched into
the prepared address, which ske fol-
lowed closely AS IA prelude ihe touch
ed on the tact THAT it was his Gus
| tom to open his campaigns in the
capital city cf the state, and stated
that he lowed the papple of Nashville

lery.
The speaker then plunged directly
into national tissues, his remarks be-
| ing received with an almost utter abb
sence of applause. After spirited
denuncias5on of the republican party
and its policies, he brHnched out into
defense of his past administration.
His audience warmed lup some and
when he began defense of Col.
Cooper the enthusiasm became mark
ed, at one time a half hundred men
rising from their seats, waving fheir
hats and cheering Justify. While he
twas defending Col. Cooper two score
persons filed from the building.
Patterson paid his respects TO
United States Senator Luke Lea near
the conclusion of his speech, with es-
pecial reference to the November pri-
la1ary, declaring that no man will ever
be elected, or ought to be elected, as
la democrat, whom the Tennessean
and American or Luke Lea will ap-
prove.
Prior to the appearance of Mr.. Pat
terson, the audience had cheGed the
entry of Attorney General A. B. An
derson, Judge A. B. Neil, of the Da-
wilson county criminal court, and
Mayor H. E. Howse. Each in his
turn was given a rousihg reception.
