HOLIDAY EDITION
OF THE PARTISAN

Mr.. H. L. Bruce, treasure
and manager of the Nationa
Publishing Co., of Memphis, ha.
arranged with the owner of The
Partisan to get out a specia
souvenir edition of The Partisan
on Thursday, Dec. 17th, just one
week before Christmas.
Mr.. Bruce has just closed a
successful advertising campaign
in Memphis, the advertising space
in a book edited and compiled
by him having brought the tidy
sum Of $1,000. His Memphis
work had the official endorse
ment of the advertising commit
tee of the Memphis Retail Mer-
chants Association, this commit
tee being composed of represen-
tatives of such well-known con-
Germs as Bry-Block Mercantile
Co., B. Lowenstein Bros, The
John Gerber Co., J. Goldsmith's
Sons, Barnes G. Thompson Hard
ware Co., Mosley Robinson Drug
Co., and 0. K. Houck Music
store.
In addition to his advertising
work he has done some special
feature write-ups for the Mem
phis News Scimitar and has been
"a liberal contributor to The
Parisian's columns during the
recent campaign; and we may
expect a very attractive paper at
his hands.
Special features of this edition
will be a religious department,
educational department, lodge
notes and news, home and farm,
good roads. a B. M. c., page,
society column and railroad notes,
in addition to our regular news
department.
Special sections for other towns
in the county are expected to be
run also.
Coming out just a week before
Christmas, and carrying a thous-
and extra circulation, this issue
should prove a very effective adj
vertising medium for our mer-
chants who expect to 60 after
the cash holiday trade.

cline became more pronounced
until death came.
Mrs. Caldwell was a gentle
woman in every sense of the
word, and had been an inspira'
tion for good for scores of peo-
pie, living an upright Christian
life, one worthy of emulation.
She was the widow of the late
Col. R. D. Caldwell, one of West
Tennessee's best known men.
She had attained the venerable
age of 80 years, two months and
20 days, and retained her facul-
ties remarkably well up to a few
hours before her death.
Besides Postmaster Caldwell
and Mrs. Morris, her, children,
she is survived by one other son,
A. B. Mitchum, cashier of thes
Bank of Henry. A large num-
ber of floral offerings mark her
resting place in Maplewood cem-
etery.

WANT F|TzHUGH TO
Be RYE'S SUCCESSOR

A petition is being circulated
which has been signed by all
members of the Paris bar and a
number Of leading Democrats,
requesting that S. P. Fitzhugh,
one of the leading attorneys of
Paris, be appointed Gov. Elect
Rye's successor.
Its generally understood that
Gen. Rye will hold his present
position until he is sworn in as
governor, then appoint his suc-
cessor, who will serve until the
next August election. Should
Gen. Rye resign now Gov. Hoop
er would have to appoint his
successor. Among others who
lave been mentioned as Gen.
Rye's successors are, Hon. M.
II. Taylor of Trenton, Hon. q.
E. Jerman of Alamo and Hon.
Bate Bond of Alamo, son of
Judge J. R. Bond.
Mr.. Fitzhugh was a faithful
worker in behalf of the Demo
cratic ticket and made speeches
throughout the county in behalf
of Mr.. Rye and his running
mates, and to him is due much
of the. credit for Henry's big
Democratic majority.
The people of Paris are going
to stand by him and are going to
do all they can to secure his ap.
pointment, He is one who is
well qualified for the place and
we know would discharge his
duties in the proper manner.

DEMOCRATS GAIN 800
OFFICES BY VICTORY

When 'Gov-Elect Thomas C.
Rye takes the oath of office mex
January and looks around at tht
East Tennessee Republicans now
holding Office at the capitol, ht
will have one of the biggest jobs
cleaning things out since Johr
G. Browns term as Governor, in
1871.
There are about 300 offices to
be filled by the governor, and
aside from the coal oil inspectors,
which are local, rs per cent OF
the officers now at the capitol
are East Tennessee Republicans.
The commissioner of agricul.
ture and the superintendent of
public instruction are from Nc
MINI county, the insurance COM
missioner is from Campbell, the
acknowledgement is from Knox,
the state auditor is from Hamil-
ton, the state fire marshal is
from Johnson, the superinten-
dent of banks from McMinn, and
so on. John H. Reagan, post
master-general of the Confeder-
acy, was born just across the
line from McMinn, and the late
Senator John T. Morgan of Ala
bama was born in McMinn, but
Gov. Hooper hasn't been able to
find any Democrats there.
The 80 or 40 useless Offices
created under Hooper's admins
tration will be cut down by the
Democratic Legislature, particu-
larly the fire marshal business,
but still Mr.. Rye will have plen-
ty of appointing to do.
|. One of the strongest candi-
dates who has entered the field
for any of the appointive offices
is Col. Joel B. Fort of Robertson
county, who wants to be COM
missioner of agriculture. Col.
Fort is a practical farmer and a
firm Democrat. He was one of
the organizers and one of the
champions of the Dark Tobacco
Growers Association, which
spread over the dark tobacco
belt of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and put the tobacco trust out of
business. Col. Fort was on the
stump in the late campaign and
it was he who stirred up the
racket about Capt. Sadler's
Confederate record.
No candidates for superinten-
dent of public instruction have
come to the front. Gen. Rye
has a fairly big job on his hands
to pick an educator who will
measure up to the standard set
by Seymour A. Mynders and
Robert l.. Jones. There was
some talk before the election
that Prof. R. E. L. Bynum, city
superintendent at Jackson,
would be candidate.
Both the commissioners of agri-
culture and the state superinten-
dent are confirmed by the Sem
ate. The state superintendent
takes office Immediately, but the
commissioner of agriculture does
not take office until June.
The two offices that are to be
filled by the Legislature are not
going begging. 1t is not known
whether George P. Woolen, the
present comptroller, and W. P.
Hickerson, state treasurer, will
be candidates, but with a heavi-
ly Democratic Legislature it is
hardly probable. They are fu-
sionists, Report has it that MFR.
Woolen supported Hooper. Mr..
Hickerson was fusion senator
in the Legislature of 1911.
Joe Creath of Shelby will be a
formidable candidate for state
treasurer. In fact, it now seems
that he will have easy sailing.
At this time Memphis-which
pays one-sixth of the taxes of
the state Is without a state Of

THOUSANDS JOIN
IN RYE RALLY

n A wildly enthusiastic crowd of
flye thousand people thronged
! the streets of Paris Saturday
I night to welcome Gen Tom c..
Rye when he returned from Hun
, tingdon at $50 o'clock. Among
the features of the ovation was
a torch-light procession nearly a
mile long. In the parade were
several gaily decorated automo-
biles, a number of men on horse
back and about FIVE hundred on
foot, all carrying blazing torches.
!. AT the head Of the parade RED"
Guthrie rode without bride or
saddle a typical Democratic dom
key.
Every business house in town
was decorated with bunting and
blazing candles and various color
ed electric lights. Many lights
were arranged to spell the name
Rye" in large letters. The sky
was literally ablaze with rockets
and Roman candles, while fire.
crackers made a continuous roar
that was deafening. The band
which furnished music could
scarcely be heard above the din:
The marshals of the parade
were: Mayor James S. Freeman.
j. N. Cooper, H. L. Bruce, Ed
win Miller, Lester Scott, W. H.
Carter, Baxter Sweeney, and D.
E. Bomar had general charge.
General and Mrs. Rye, Paul
Rye, Mr.. and Mrs. John F. No
Ian and Paul Freeman occupied
the first automobile at the head
of the parade. After travelling
the principal streets of the town
the parade halted in front of the
city hall, where hundreds were
waiting to call upon Gen. Rye
for a speech. He responded in
a short address, as follows:
mo one rejoices with you to-
night more than | do over the
great Democratic victory we
have just won. / earnestly hope
the victory means peace and
prosperity in Tennessee and it
shall be my earnest endeavor to
bring that about. With pardon
able pride, return to you still
bearing aloft the Democratic
banner. do not regard this as
a personal victory; it is victory
for the people Of Tennessee who
desire a return of peace and tran
guilty. Peace is inscribed upon
the folds of the Democratic BAN
ner, peace, temperance and law
enforcement; matters that have
divided the Democratic party
have been settled and let us hope
settled forever. There are those
who bitterly fought and voted
against us. l bear them no NAL
ice. | never lost moments
sleep in this campaign because of
doubt of our ultimate success.
Right, though it may for a time
be suppressed, will in the end
prevail, believe the hour for
right to triumph has arrived. l
believe majority rule will bring
that peace we all hope for. 1t
was a great pity that Bryan and
Daniels came to Tennessee; they
say their coming lost us many
votes. That being true, if they
had not come the Republican
party would not have BACKED
the board. 1t is my desire to be
the governor for all the people.
With the cooperation of the peo-
pie my administration will be
successful. Let US therefore put
aside strife and animosity. Let
the spirit of brotherly love hover
over the Volunteer state, and
peace and prosperity will be our
reward"
After Gen. Rye's speech he
was escorted to the Dixie theatre
where he had been invited by
the Lewis Stock Co.. to witness
one of their performances.

TWO MINISTERS ARE
DROPPED FROM ROLL

DROPPED FROM ROLL
Two ministers names were
dropped from the roll of the
Methodist conference at the
closing of the sessions here Mon
day. The Rev. H. 0. Hofstead,
pastor of the Second Methodist
church at Memphis, was suspend
ed for one year and will appeal
his case to the general confer
nee.
-Aen the name of Rev. H. L.
of the Camden circuit
lexington district was
ae4y q. Eeing absent, the pre-
81 s4f ts4t - .-A- Rev. J.B. Freeman,
suy.ted that in order to prevent
.iarges being preferred against
him, Rev. McCamey had sur
rendered his credentials.
In the case of Rev. Hofstead
the charges were immortality. 1t
is not known what the charges
were to have been against the
other minister.
The Hofstead appeal will be
handled by committee headed
by a bishop of the conference
nearest Memphis, Bishop w. B.
Murrah of the Memphis confer
ence being ineligible, as the case
originated within his conference.
The verdict of the jury was
read by the Rev. P. G. Lowry,
secretary of the jury. The find
ings were unanimous, it was
stated.
Two of the charges against
Rev. Hofstead were drunkenness
and profanity. A third and more
serious charge was not made
public.
Monday afternoon following
the reading of the appointments
the seventy-ffth annual session
of the Memphis conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, came to a successful ter
mination.
The last days session was one
of the most important of the en-
tire conference, and much busi-
ness of Importance was trans
acted. The disposition of the
Memphis Conference Female In
stitute was definitely decided up
on and was not turned back to
the city of Jackson, where it is
now located, as was expected.
The subject of Vanderbilt Un-
iversitv came up and the confer
ence in a measure turned a cold
shoulder to the invitation, refus-
ing to endorse it or recommend
that young Methodists attend
this institution of learning. Fur
ther, they unqualifiedly endors-
ed the new Methodist college in
Atlanta, urging the people to
give it their patronage and un-
qualified support.
The committee having in charge
the passing of the case of DR.. H.
O. Hofstead gave in their report.
This has been one of the features
{. of the conference, and great in
terest not only among the dele
gates, but the general populace
as well, has been evidenced.
DR.. Hofstead's license to
preach was taken from him for
: a period of one year. His sister,
Miss Louise Hofstead, was pros
trated at the verdict and had to
be taken to her rooms, while it
is said that the defense was con-
fidently expecting an acquittal.
DR.. Hofstead was seen, but
declined to give out an interview.
