u efore another issue of The Partisan has come
- from the press the general election to be-
held August g. win be history We fee
that it is fitting to say final word to the Dem
ocrats OF Henry county before the battle of bal
lots. The issue in the election is Democracy
against Republicanism. The Democratic party i
the majority party in Tennessee and the result
|of the election to be held next Thursday rests
with the Democrats of the state If the party of
Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Aaron Vail
Brown, Isham G. Harris and James D. Porter is
to be victorious in the election Democrats must
come out and vote. There can be no doubt Of
the result if Democrats do their duty by voting
and seeing that their friends vote.
The polls open at 9 O'Clock Thursday morning
and close at A o'clock Thursday afternoon in each
voting precinct Of Henry county. Every Demo-
crat should make it point to vote early and none
should stay away. The Republicans will be there
on time, and to win the Democrats must also do
their duty to their party.
In the race for Supreme Judge the Demo-
cratic nominee, that splendid jurist heightened
gentleman, and sterling Democrat. Judge Robert
Burrow, is opposed by Judge Sam c. Williams,
an appointee Of Hooper and the nominee of the
Republican party Williams is partisan Repub-
lican candidate. He was given the Office he now
holds by the Republican Governor and obtained
his nomination at the hands of the Republican
convention at the very same session in which
Hooper was nominated for governor. Judge Bur-
row was nominated by the Democratic Judicial
convention, which was held previous to the con-
vention which nominated Gen. Rye for governor,
and therefore it cannot be truthfLlly said that
Judge Burrow is partisan or political candidate.
Democrats should come out and vote for Judge
Burrow to man as his election will make abso-
lutely certain the election of Gen. Rye in Novem-
Der.
Junge D. E. Scott, of Lexington, native of
Henry county and an able jurist and faithful
Democrat, who was nominated for Chancellor by
a large and representative convention of Demo-
Gratis of the Eighth Chancery division is also op-
posed by lifelong Republican and appointee
of Hooper. Judge Scott's integrity is above re-
proach He is lawyer of long and successful
experience in Decatur and Henderson counties,
and his election will mean much to Gen. Rye, as
well as meaning that Henry and other counties
will have Democratic clerk and masters

the statement made by A. j.

from Madison county for five
years, and has served four years,

Williams says a convict who

in his cell was given 80 lashes
with a whip. Several weeks lat
err he was given 100 lashes with
the edge of the strap the con-
victs call big Bette. The blows
of the whip tore into the flesh,
tearing loose one of the tendons
under the knee which control
the action of the foot. He was
made a cripple. Williams stated
that the convict died and the
prison officials said that he was
paralyzed in one leg and death
was due to tuberculosis.

DROUTH OVERCOME BY
SCIENTIFIC FARMING

Jackson, Tenn, August 27, :
Prof. H. S. Nichols Of the Uni
ted States Department of agri-
culture, with headquarters in
Jackson, states that the real test
of scientific farming was not
found wanting. Had it not been
for the farmers of West Tennes-
see carrying out instructions
given by the farm demonstra-
ton agents to the effect that they
pillow deep in the spring and then
follow with shallow cultivation,
the crops of this section could
not have withstood the drouth
that has worried everybody ex-
cept the farmer for the last four
weeks The crops in Madison
county are looking well, and the
&yman does not know how to
account for it-but the farmer
does. It's scientific farming as
demonstrated by the government
and state agricultural agents.

"we should not .wlplhor.e. in the middle Of

All indications point to the election of Judge
Robert Burrow to the Supreme Court bench.
Democrats should see that his name is on all DEM
ocratic tickets. His opponent Judge Williams,
is the nominee of the Republican party and Sc
cured the nomination by asking for it. He never
ly did not want democratic votes. The name of
Judge Williams will be on every republican ballot
in the state. The name of Judge Burrow should
be on all democratic ballots It is the duty of all
democrats to look after the interests of Judge
Burrow on election day.

PEOPLES FORUM


While the writer was hauling
logs Wednesday of last week al
Flyers mill, the bridge across
the mill race fell in letting team,
wagon and driver down eight
feet into the water. Fortunate
ly there was no damage done.
The wagon tongue caught in the
bank and kept the wagon and
logs off of team and driver,
thereby averting what might
have been a serious accident.
This bridge is on the new
road which is the only connec-
ton between the Old Sixth and
the Old Seventeenth districts,
without going eight miles out of
the way by Flkhorn or another
way by fair grounds. This road
was donated to Henry county by
the writer and G. L. Fryer, and
the county should accept it as a
county road and keep the bridges
so the lives of teams and drivers
will not be in constant jeopardy
when passing over them, and if
the present Supervisor, Mr.. Will
liams, and the county commits
sioners will not accept this new
30-foot road which is now in
fairly good condition Except
bridges) we should act at once
and send a man to the next leg
islature who will at least show
the farmers some consideration
in regard to such important mat
tiers. We are taxed more and
more each year and those who
have gone to represent US have
come around before elections
asking about Johnnie and Betsy
Ann and their case of measles,
but just as soon as elected they
are too apt to forget us.
Now, the writer is not seeking
office, but thinks we will never
get what we want without send
ing men to represent us who will
step down and out if he fails to
carry out his promises to his con-
stituents. The larger part of
Henry county's citizens do not
want the present road law any
longer and should vote for a good
man who will not longer let the
best interests of the farming
class go begging.

CHANCELLOR ROSS To
VOTERS OF HENRY CO.

am a candidate to succeed
myself as Chancellor of the
Eighth Chancery Division of
Tennessee.
-Four years ago it was estab-
llshed as a precedent by the peo-
pie of his state that the Judici-
airy should be nom partisan. Two
years ago when Judge A. S.
Buchanan, an appointee of Gov
ernor Patterson, was elected as
one of the Judges of our Supreme
Court without opposition, because
OF his recognized ability. as a
Jurlst, this principle was reafirm-
ed. Again this year, in recogni-
ton of this same principle, the
members of the bars of Memphis,
jackson, Union City, Nashville,
Knoxville. and many of the cities
and larger towns in Tennessee.
regardless of their political affili-
atoms, have endorsed the candi.
dacy of Judge Sam C. Williams.
Believing in the soundness of
i Il L
this doctrine, and that politics
should have no place in a judicial
election, have therefore placed
my candidacy before the people
as q whole. | am neither the
nominee or the candidate of ANY
party or faction.
In voting for a candidate for a
judicial Office nothing but merit
should be considered. No one
approves of a Judge being infu-
enced in his decisions by any poll
tical prejudice or preference,
Then why should politics be con-
sidered in the election of Judge?
| therefore feel that l can con-
sistently call upon the people re-
CARELESS of their political per-
suasions for 5 Import.
The Chancery Court though
little visited by the people, is one
OF the most important of thelow-
er courts of our States and in as
much as it is attended principal
ly by the lawyers Of the various
counties, naturally they are the
first to ascertain As to the quail
fications or merits of the Judge
holding the court, and | take
pleasure in stating that the law
yers throughout the division,
with very few exceptions, are
giving me their support. | like
wise find that in almost every
section of the division the peo-
pie as a whole are laying politics
aside in so far as this office is
concerned.
Since the first day of January,
| have been almost constantly in
court and have had no opportu-
nifty whatever to devote any time
to my campaign. Inasmuch as
the machinery of the court would
have been stopped had | deserted
my duties, l did not believe it
right that should adjourn court
in order that | might look after
my own interests. felt that it
was my duty to attend to the Of
flee, and have done so. Because
of this it will be impossible for
me to visit each and every Sec
ton in the twelve counties COM
posing this division and see every
voter, as | should like to do. |
must necessarily rely upon my
friends and those interested i'm
my behalf for my success, and /
assure you that shall appreciate,
your support at the election to be
held on August 9th.
Respectfully,
n1,r w Dncc,
