PATTERSON GIVES
UP THE GHOST
IN SPEECH TO LEGISLATORS RE-
LEASES ALL FROM OBLiGA-
TioNs TO HIM.

NASHVILLE, Jan. M. r. Patter-
son has withdrawn from the race for
the United States senate, and has re-
leased all regular democratic mem
bers of the legislature from their OBJ
legation to support him as the prima-
Try nominee.
This announcement was made by
Gov. Patterson himself in a statement
before meeting of the regular dem
ocratiC members of the legislature
held at the Maxwell house last night
in which he stated in effect that he
was absolutely out Of the race. A for
NAL statement from Gov. Patterson
in which he will set forth his reasons
for the step taken is expected today.
Gov. Patterson's withdrawal came
after efforts had been made for many
days, both before and after the or.
ganization Of the legislature, to in.
duce him to surrender the nomina.
ton. The final effort, according to
report. was made yesterday afternoon
when committee waited upon the
nominee and requested that he relin.
quish his claims upon the regular
members
With Gov Patterson out OF the race
and the regular members released
there was much speculation last night
about how the regulars would cast
their votes. According to the state.
ments of several Of the members the
bulk OF that wing were turning their
attentions to Col. L. d. Tyson, OF
Knoxville in appreciation Of the ser.
vices he rendered prior to the or.
ganization Of the houses, while 9th.
ers favor Congressman X. d. Nickel.
lar, of Memphis. There also seems
to be a tendency toward Chief Justice
Shields, and 1t is reported that sew.
eral members win support him.

PANAMA CANAL b
BY ELECTRICITY
SHIPS TOWED BY ELECTRIC
MULES-GATEs OPERATED
BY ELECTRIC MOTORS.

Powerful electric motors will haul
the shipping through the locks of the
Panama Canal. The locomotives will
run on raised track beside the canal
and will receive their electric ener-
gy from hydro-electric plant being
built in connection with the Gatun
dam. The gates of the mighty locks,
weighing many tons, will be opened
and closed by powerful electric mo-
tors in the remarkable time of one
minute and forty.eight seconds. The
canal will be lighted by electricity
and electric power will be used for
many other purposes in connection
with the work.
To supply the power to operate the
gates and sluice valves in the locks,
and to furnish current for the mon
ster electric locomotives which are to
tow the steamships through the locks,
a great hydro-electric station is be-
ing erected adjacent to the spillway
in Gatun dam, equipped with three
large water turbines and three 1000
Kilowat generators, with suitable ex-
citers and other auxiliaries. There
will be enough water from the storage
in Lake Gatun to warrant the installa-
ton Of 6,O0o kilowatts, though in the
dry season it will be necessary to
draw upon the storage. Altogether It
is figured that for this electric work
seven per cent Of the minimum VA
ter system of the canal will be requir-
ed A part of the electricity is to be
used for lighting the line of the Ca
nal There will be concrete lamp
posts 100 feet apart throughout the
entire length of each lock wall. Al
together, 1000 lamps will be installed
at the locks

he did do.
Buds mother sent him out to the
woodpile to chop some stove kindlngs
for her, and told him whatever he done
not to stick his tongue on the ak be-
ing as it was below zero. Bud couldn't
seem to understand why the wether be-
ing below zero had ennythink to do
with stickin his tongue agin the axe,
and he thort he would find out, so the
first thing he done before he cut emmy
wood was to stick out his tongue and
put the axe agin it.
Well Buds tongue froze right to the
axe, and he couldn't git it loose so he
hollerd & YIELD as loud as he could yell &
boiler and julnpd around, and his moth
er run out and took him in the house
and poured hot water on the axe also

which was jest at its prime sprung a
leak, and that by morning there was

be a awful blow to the Deacon becuz
during the winter hard cider is almost

EDDYToRIUL

At this the beginning of the New
Yr. we grasp Our edditoriul pen
firmly in hand with stedfast reso-
luton to dash off for this ishue OF
the Boogle a eddytoriul on the fol
lering subjeckt, viz, i.e., towit-
THE WOODCHUCK."
The woodchuck may seem like a
Gurus subjeckt to write about, but
whilst we was wondering what in
thunderashion we would take for
a subjecl1t for this wk's ishue, be-
ing as most of the subjects that
there is in the world we have wrote
about as you might say, or in other
words we have jest almost exosted
our repertoire (French), we hap
pened to think that we haddent
never wrote a eddytoriul on the
woodchuck and that if we was to
do so on this occasion we could
draw turrible powerful moral
from same which ort to apply to
about 9-tenths of the inhabitants of
Bingville, who reminds us more of
woodchucks than emmy luther ami
mile we can think of.
The woodchuck is one of the
LATEST loafers we have amongst the
dumb broots, and that's why he re-
minds us of some of our most re-
specified citizens. In summer
time when the sky is fair and the
days is warm, the woodchuck don't
have nothink to do but browse
away in his hole and 60 out to eat
his breakfast, dinner and supper
when he gets hungry, and he don't
haft to go very fur for that either
being as he lives on roots & YARDS
Bid things which generally grows
right near to his den. Sometimes
of course he eats corn and vegeta-
bles to the deep disgust of whoever
owns corn & vegetables. In luther
words, the woodchuck don't take
no thort tor the morrow.
But when winter comes, how
ever, and cold wether sets in he
dens up in his hole and goes to
sleep and don't wake up til spring.
During the cold wether he becomes
very comatose & lethargic. (SPE-
SHIAL NOTIS-For the benefit
of our more ignorunter subscribers
we will explain that comatose &
lethargic means that the wood
chuck in winter is horse de combat.
This will save you lool<in up the
meaning of these words in the
dickshionary and likes as not you
amt got no dicksionary ennyhow.)
Well, there are a lot of folks in
