GOOD CROWD AND
SOME POLITICS
ALL SIX CANDIDATES FOR THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE CITY
IN CONFERENCES.

While there was nothing particu-
lar to attract the citizens of tue coun-
ty to Columbia today there was
good crowd in the city, and Sas ma
tural consequence there was coEsio-
cradle politics in the air. The srrln-
cipal political matter was the race
for the legislature in this county, ana
the race for the senate.
/ All of the candidates were in the
city, and were in conference with
their friends here and there when
I the opportunity occurred. Senator
Brown was just back from trip to
Lewis county, and he and Mossrs
Moore and Hammond were seen al
the court house, as were also Mr
Church, and Messrs. Denton anC
Long, and all day there have beer
little knots of friends of each OF the
candidates discussing the condj' IONS
and the chances of each for cleo
ton.

KNITTING WILSON,.

We are not surprised. We have
thought all the time that 1t would
come. Reference is made to the open
threat of the state liquor organ to
knife Woodrow Wilson unless he
bows in humble alteration to the liq-
uor machine and liquor candidates in
Tennessee. We had not expected
the organ, which claims to be so zeal
GUS for regularity" to make its sim
lister threat openly and brazenly but
that is exactly what it is doing. on
the first page. too.
Wilson, the nominee of all the dem.
ocrats for president, real democrat,
upona genuinely democratic platform,
is plainly told that unless he stands
sponsor for McMillin and Patterson
and Dibrell, all now the nominees
of the machine, endorses the open de-
fiance of the laws of the state and
approves political assassination, he
need expect no support from the reg
ular democrats of Tennessee. This
in fine and in brief is the threat hurl-
ed at the standard bearer of the DEM
ocratic party.
This threat will cause little sur
prise. Everybody knows that the in
terests that have financed this or
gan. the men who are publishing and
editing it care nothing whatever for
real democracy or genuine democrat
ic principles. Their only couse Is
that of the liquor traffic; their only
interest in politics is to serve the cor
rupt machine that lives by and for
the brewery and whisky power Of this
country. They are regular" when
it suits the liquor power to be regu
lar. They will knife any democrat
ic candidate or scuttle a democratic
organization without qualm of con
science whenever 1t suits the fancy
of the liquor power.
Woodrow Wilson has stood for Law
enforcement Tn New Jersey. Gov
Marshall his running mate, stands
for law enforcement in Indiana. HI
has recently notified the lawless gant
in that state that they can expec
no quarter from him. Now how cal
these men consistently endorse tn
lawless ticket in Tennessee? /
would be ruineus to them. yet thi
liquor organ, caring nothing whatev
er for anything save the liquor Intel
ests, would have these democrats d.
this very thing.

A sHALLoW PRETENsE.

In his speeches as candidate LOT
congress Mr.. Turner is severely ar
raigning Congressman Padgett De-
cause of the latter's vote Tor the
ratification of the Canadian recipro-
city treaty. This conclus!Vey
proves that Turner's blatant coast
ing of undying devotion to regular
ity" and 10 the principles OF demo
cracy are a mere pretense. Can II
he that he is willing to take this
nosition. no matter how inconsistent
or how at variance with democracy
it may be, if thereby he can score a
point or win vote against Mr.. Pad
gett We hope not but he records
look bad.
The bill to ratify the Canadian
reciprocity treaty was made dem
ocratic party measure. 1t was ap'
proved by all the democrats OF the
house with two or three exceptions
It had the approval of all the great
leaders of the democratic party, In
Guiding the speaker Of the house
the majority leader, Mr.. Bryan and
Mr., Wilson. Almost all OF the
democratic papers of the nation en-
dorsed it. A vote against the bill
would certainly have been grossly
irregular and yet we hear one OF the
chief opponents of Patterson tcgu
larity in Tennessee bowling because
Mr.. Padgett did not bolt his party
and vote against truly democratic
measure!
Not only was the reciprocity meas
ure a party proposition, but 1t re
presented real democratic views
Those who opposed it are reactionar!
democrats; they are the sort o
democrats, who, If they were electe'
to congress, would do as Jim Smitl
and Calvin Brice and Arthur Pu'
German did in 1894, take grea
pleasure in emasculating a genuin
democratic tariff reform bill TIL
democratic party is now and has al
ways been opposed to a protectiv
tariff, and yet we have the sevent
district oracle Of party regularity
preaching the doctrine Of protection
He is condemning Mr.. Padgett bt
cause the latter voted for demo
cratic bill that had the effect Of RI
moving a protective tariff from Gel
tain agricultural products. And We
the democratic party boasts now AN
always that it is for a TARIFF kOl
REVENUE ONLY!

NATIVE COLUMBIAN
GOING TO FRONT
REV. THoS. J. CROSBY CALLED
TO pAsToRATE OF A BIG
NEW YORK CHURCH.

Rev. Thos. ]. Crosby, a native OF
Columbia, where he is we'll and fav-
orably remembered by a large hum-
Der of people, is steadily forging to
the front in the ministry of the Epis-
copal church. He has just been call
ed to the rectorship of Trinity
church, States Island, New York
City and has, according to the pap
ers of that place, made splendid
impression upon the members OF his
parish and all the people generally.
Although he is only thirty years OF
age he has already made a reputa-
ton as one of the ablest preachers
of his denomination. His last ap-
pointment before going to States Is
land was at ST. Luke's church, NAL
den, Mass, and his departure was
the occasion of much regret Ipon
the part of the people Of that sec
ton. The wardens Of that church
wrote a beautiful letter expressive
of appreciation Of his services and
regret at his departure. The follow
ing brief sketch of this prominent
son of Columbia Is from the States
Islander:
The Rev. Mr.. Crosby was born at
Columbia, Tenn, and is aged 33
years. He is unmarried and makes
his home with his mother, Mrs. G.
M. Crosby, at 224 Third street, New
Dorp. He received his education at
the University of Texas, the Unsver-
sity of the South at Sewanee, Tenn,
the General Theological Seminary
New York, and Oxford, England. He
was ordained to the deaconate in
New York in June 1895, by Bishop
Kinsolving, of Texas.
"He began his ministry in Texas
and has since held parishes in Ala
bama, Maiden, and New York city
He has been rector of Maiden church
for the past four years and in thai
time the membership has been in
creased from IS to PIP and the fin
ances proportionately.
GIN his new field he will fine
many warm friends to assist and ait
him in his work"

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Because the attorney general OF
the state, the Hon. Charles T. Gates,
is making an effort to have the great
brewery company of Knoxville obey
the laws of the state, the Chattanoo-
ga Times is having conniption
fit. 1t is terribly wrought up over
the situation and denounces such ac-
ton as 'monstrous." To be sure 1t is
monstrous to enforce the law against
a wealthy and brazen brewery copor-
alton but it is all right, the .ery
thing to enforce the law against Il ne
gro crap shooter or a poor Whlte
man. Here we have a great organ OF
the regular" democracy red in the
face and ranting with anger because
an effort is made to enforce the SOL
emn statute of the state against the
making of intoxicants to damn the
souls of men and starve the bodies OF
little children and helpless women.
This same paper would be horrif1ed
II one should openly defend the poor
man who takes his neighbours life,
but it makes an eloquent and ear
nest, but of course altogether spe-
cious plea, for the heartless and soul
less brewery company that, in de-
fiance Of the laws of the state, Is en-
gage in the business, of numbering
the souls OF men.
Gen. Gates is doing his duty. He
is trying to enforce the law. He
should have the support and encour
agement of every man and paper In
the state who believes in the enforce
ment of the law. He should receive
the anathemas of all the anarchists
= in the state. 1t is a pity that there
are not more men like Gates in off1ce
II there were there would be a more
wholesome respect cor the laws 20
the state. There would be more jus
tice administered by the courts snt
less of the sort of favoritism that thu
Chattanooga Times would have prae
ticed. Because the Knoxville corpor
alton is making liquor should no

While McMjllin defends the liouo
plank Of his platform it will be nc

ASKS GOVERNOR
TO OFFER REWARD
SHERIFF GOODWIN ANXIOUS TO
CAPTURE NEGRO WHO KILL
ED WIFE.

Sheriff Goodwin this morning wrote
Gov. Hooper asking that reward be
offered for the capture OF Clarence
Polk, the negro who killed his wife
at Carter's Creek on last Friday
night. From the reports it seems
that the killing was a very cold
blooded affair. It is alleged that
Polk went to the house before dark
and called for his wife to come out
and talk to him. She refused 70 go
stating that she was afraid he would
do her harm. And when she went
out on the porch q couple OF hours
later she was accompanied by her
mother who saw and recognized
Clarence when he fired the fatal
shot
