The Father Of His Country.

George Washington, first president

his great-grandson, was born in
Westmoreland county, Virginia, Febru-

WHAT GEORGE DID.

They say the story is not true
About that little cherry tree;
There are some other stories, too,
That we should take most guardedly.
They tell us, who pretend to know.
That he was not a model tad;
OF one thing we are certain, though,
He put CORVALLIS to the bad
That story of the dollar which
He threw across the wide, wide stream
They say is nothing but the rich
Result of some old dreamer's dream;

He Put CORVALLIS to the Bad.

They may be right, I do not know;
We may believe we may doubt:
One thing has been established, though
He put old man Cornwallis out
1t may be that he ne'er bestrode
A frisky colt that bucked and kicked;
Wild oats by him may have been sowed,
In school he may have been well lickeds
He was but human as we know,
With human frailties, human hopes;
One fact remains unshaken, though,
He put CORVALLIS through the ropes.
1t may be that he sometimes erred,
He was no saint, nor demigod;
We need not praise his every word,
Nor every act of his applaud
He had his failings, as we know,
His vision oft perhaps was blurred;
This much remains undoubted. though,
He put crimp in George the Third.

Several hundred voters assembled in
mass convention at the courthouse in
this city last Monday afternoon. Prom

tary. Upon motion, w. H. Swiggart,
Jr., S. r. Bratton, D. p. Caldwell, J.
M. Brice, g. P. Wilson and ]. L. Fry
were appointed committee on resolu-
tions, and in very short time reported
as follows and the same was enthusi-
calIy and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The State Of Tennessee,
through the Democratic party, has al
ways been advancing to a prohibition
State, the issue has come to be that OF
law enforcement, the question being
whether the State shall triumph over
the outlawed liquor traffic in the larger
cities and uphold the supremacy OF law
and order. We condemn the past ac-
ton and conduct OF Speaker Stanton
in refusing to allow majority OF the
House OF Representatives to speak or
vote in behalf OF the law enforcement
measure before the House Of Represen-
tatives. We believe such action is trea-
SON to the dignity Of the State OF Ten
nessee. An impeachment proceeding
is the only safe and sane course for law
enforcement members to proceed with
for protection Of the State and peoples
rights against liquor, where at this par
ticular time all the States eyes are up
on Tennessee and her officials in legis-
latiye capacity over this vital issue.
Resolved, That we, the citizens Of
Obion County assembled in mass meet
ing, endorse the action Of members Of
the Legislature, assisted by our own
Representatives, Hons. G. R. McDade,
IA L. Cochran and r. A. Elkins. in

their efforts to pass Law enforcement
measures at the recent session Of the
Legislature.
Resolved, That we favor an act to
define more specifically the abatement
Of public nuisauces, OF any kind Of
business prohibited by law. We favor
an act to hrohibit the shipment Of liquor
i-to the State or shipment from one
county to another. We favor an act
to empower proper courts to remove
county and municipal officers for fall
ing to perform their official duty. We
beg Of our member Of the Senate, Hon.
r. A. Elkins, and House members,
Hons. G. r. McDade and J. L. Coch-
ran, to support these measures men
toned here, believing it will restore
peace and harmony in Tennessee and
place the Democratic party in power in
State affairs.

A Great Institution in Danger.

Calling attention to the tremendous
possible scope OF the Peabody College
il the additional fund OF 100000 is
raised, the Memphis Commercial APP
peal adi:orially calls on the fifteen truss
tees of the University Of Nashville to
turn over funds in their care to Pea
body. This editorial will be OF interest,
coming, as it does, from an outside and
disinterested source. The article fol-
lows:
"An educational institution Of tre-
mendous possibilities and OF great power
in the South is about to be lost because
OF the failure to secure the remainder
OF an endowment.
Two years ago the Peabody Board
OF Trustees offered to settle upon the
Peabody College for Teachers in Nash
Vile 100000 conditional upon the
trustees raising 100000 The time
for closing the fund is November / Of
this year.
THE Board OF Trustees has secured
upward of $s00,000, and there the
members seem to be at the end Of their
road. Much Of this money was gwen
upon condition that the million be
secured.
I'VE are informed that fifteen citizens
Of Nashville hold in trust the funds OF
OF school which was part Of the Uni
yersity of Nashville, but has not been
given to Peabody College, as were all
other properties OF this university.
This school is doing work which
can be better or as well done by the
public schools OF the city Of Nashville.

total g., 600, 900 would be secured.
The fame of this small school would
be added to it il it we're merged into
the great institution. II would share
in this institutions splendid service to
the southern people.
1T would be supremely wise and
patriotic il these trustees would turn
over this fund to Peabody College. The
institution then could avail itself Of the
half million offered and the work Of
rounding out headpiece for public edu-
cation in the South could begin.

TENNESSEE PRESS.

No political party in Tennessee and
no faction OF political party has ever
dared to go before the people upon a
platform of notification of the law.
And none ever will. There should be
no politics in the coming extra session
OF the legislature. Men should act and
vote as Tennesseans who believe in the
majesty OF the State and the supremacy
of the law. In that alone is there hope
for protection for either life or property.
Columbia Herald.
Taking the regular and extra sessions
altogether and considering the fact that
Tennessee has secured a law for COM
pulsory education, admirable labor laws,
has done away with the food OF local
bills, has substituted eIectrocution for
hanging as a capital punishment and
has refunded the State debt, temporari-
ly, the old Volunteer State is not 50 far
behind after all. Chattanooga News.
We hope the members Of the General
Assembly will respond to this call and
reconvene themselves and give the peo-
pie the protection they are demanding.
To do this they must rid themselves Of
the liquor domination and boss rule.
They must represent their constituents
instead OF the liquor interests. Governor
Hooper by his call has given them an
opportunity to prove themselves above
petty politics and the rule OF bosses.
Will they do it? We believe they will.
