Rock wood, June 3.-Gen. John T.
Wilder was here Friday and held an
informal reception at the Mourfield
hotel, where he met some Of the friends
of his days in Rock wood many years
ago. A. p. Thompson first met Gen.

Col. Byrd and others were on their
way to this place, which then was a
wilderness. He was looking for place
TO open mines and build an iron fur

TURNS BACK
ON SANDERS
BEAsLEY HOGS PATRONAGE
The Senator Comes Back at Them
With Strong Denial of Flirt-
ing With Mr.. Roosevelt.

The Chattanooga Times says: Gov
b. w. Hooper and his friends are en-
gagged in the pleasant pastime of ex.
hibiting 10 Senator Sanders move
brand of obligation TO the man who
placed them in power in this state, by
now endeavoring to shelve him. J. S.
Beasley, chairman of the state commit
tee and in that capacity successor OF
Senator Sanders, and John w. Overall,
who has retained place at the federal
crib for years through the influence OF
Mr.. Sanders, are com bined to make the
senator back number as soon as his
term of senator has expired. The for
mer is trying to become the dispenser
of federal patronage in Tennessee, and
the latter will try to defeat Senator
Sanders for national committeeman to
succeed Monroe Monday, who is filling
the unexpired term of N. w. Hale.
In order to cripple Senator Sanders
with the administration, Mr. Beasley
has caused reports TO he circulated in
Westinghouse least that is what is
being published in Washington-that
the senator is flirting with the Roose-
velt people, thus tending to create sus-
picion in the Taft camp. In addition
to this smooth bit of political business
Gov Hooper's new state chairman has
wired the president and Congressman
Mckinley, the presidents campaign
manager, that all federal patronage in
Tennessee had better be held up until
after the national convention, in order
TO hold the Taft delegates intact until
after vote is reached on nomination.
In these two enterprises he has been
ably seconded by Mr.. Overall.
Mr.. Overall's scheme has been to
take advantage of the absence of Sena-
tor Sanders from the state to wire all
the delegates TO the national conven-
tion from Tennessee asking pledge of
their support for national committee
man. He has succeeded admirably,
but Senator Sanders was informed of
the turn of events promptly, and he
TOO has been using the wires. 1t is
said that many who had pledged their
votes to Overall have rescinded and
transferred their pledges to Sanders
In this clever enterprise Overall has
been aided by Beasley. Between the
two there is likelihook of causing Sen
ator Sanders some trouble.
The Times representative in Wash
ington was asked last night to secure
from Senator Sanders statement re-
garding some of these matters, and
early in the evening he wired the fol-
lowing:
Washington, June 1.-Senator San

Prolonging Life.

While no way has yet been found to make
life perpetual, it is a fact that life can be
prolonged. Many people die before their
time because the organs become clogged and
can not do their work. To keep their body
open, active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia, hatu-
lency, liver troubles, etc. If old or young
people suffer from these complaints they can
find ready cure with DR.. .Caldwells Syrup

The 642 soldiers graves at the Home

and the handsome white headstones at
each grave was marked with flag.
When all the decorations were complete
the scene was beautiful. Many graves
received special decoration from the
hands of friends and relatives. The
grave of the late Congressman Walter
Preston Brownlow, located as it is in
the center of the circle, received beau
tiful floral embankment The exercises
were brief at the cemetery.

veterans having to stand in line for the
reading. Many of the old boys, how
ever, would march, some with canes, in

that certain reserve OF provision

contributed to the feeling of Thanks

which thanks was rendered for feshly
