WELL SPENT LIFE.

There died in Kentucky the other
day it's richest citizen. twenty-five
years ago John G. Calhoun Mayo
was poor country school teacher
He lived and taught and worked
among the people Of the mountains
Of Eastern Kentucky. He was a man
with a vision. AS he went about
among the hills and wales ana for
asts Of his native mountains he saw its
vast possibilities; he appreciated the
great resources with which nature had
endowed that favored section. He
then determined that he would
develop those resources adding to the
value of the property Of his section.
He had no capital, but he had
courage and determination and char
acter. After earnest and aetermin-
ed effort he enlisted the support Of
men who had money. He went into
the mountains and acquired options
on vast tracts of land that were to
be had at nominal prices. He dealt
fairly and honestly with all whom he
met. He some how always managed
to meet all of his obligations. He
deceived no man. Finally he COM
menced the development of the lands
that he acquired and then he bought
more land. When he died, stricken
too In the very prime of life, his pri-
vat fortune was estimated at over
$20,000,000. And there is not man
to say that he made a dollar Of it by
means unfair or methods that were
questionable. Others had the same
opportunity, but they did not have his
vision, or his energy or his persever-
ance He succeeded largely because
he deserved to succeed.
In his affluence he did not forget
the claims Of others; he did not leave
mis- native mountains to dwell in
palatial mansions in the nations
metropolis. He continued to live
among the people who had encour-
aged him in early life. He minister
ed to their wants. He gave gener-
Ously to every cause. He was one
of the leaders among the Methodists
OF his section. He lived the life of
the true Christian. He was faithful
to every obligation. The people
never lost faith in him; he never VIC
lated their confidence and when his
remains were laid to rest among the
shadows Of his native hills Ia had
such funeral as few men ever know
The plain people of that section came
to pay homage to his memory. He
had been power among men; sen.
ators and politicians and statesmen
courted his favor and sought his aid,
but It was among those who knew
him best that he received the high.
est tribute.
The life of this man proves that
America Is yet the land Of opportun.
ity. Few men will succeed, can
hope to achieve the success that was
the portion Of John c. Calhoun
Mayo. He was no ordinary Individual,
but his life shows the rewards that
come always to those who deserve
success, who are willing to pay the
price in honest endeavor, in cease.
less effort and in devotion to duty.

MUST FIGHT FAIR.

Misrepresentation and untruthful
statements, false charges and unsup-
ported inuendoes will not win the
campaign in Tennessee this year.
We may expect the customary
amount of demagogy and the usual
number of lies to be told There are
newspapers and politicians who will
not deal Justly and fairly with the
people. They believe that abuse
and insinuations and falsehoods are
much more effective than simple, log
ic, the plain truth and direct ap-
|peals to reason. But they are mistak-
len. The bitter partisans, those who
have their minds made up long be-
fore the opening gun Of campaign
is ever fired, revel in these things,
but they would vote their passions
and prejudices regardless of what
was said or left unsaid during the
contest. Nothing affects them. They
like abuse and falsehood, but it
makes no difference If they are not
fed on these things.
AS an example of the appeals to
demagagy that are being made we
have the Chattanooga Times scoring
the Hooper administration for fail
ure to sell the states four per cent
funding bonds, assigning as one of
the reasons that the bond buyers
knew that they wuld be able to get
the states short term notes at seven
Iper cent interest. When this state
ment was published the state was ac-
|tually negotiating with and did sell
at rate of less than four and one
half per cent its short term notes.
The whole false premises and dema-
|gogic conclusions of the Times of
course vanished before the light Of
the plain truth. Not only was the ar
ticle complained Of an attack upon a
republican governor, but it was an
unjust and unfair assault upon three
democratic state officials. The fund
ing board, which conducted the nego-
tiations and made the sale, Is COM
posed of one republican and three
democrats. Had Gov. Hooper desired
to sell states securities at usurious
rates Of interest, which of course he
did not, it is hardly likely that the
democratic members of the funding
board would have sat supinely by and
permitted him to do 30.
Gov. Hooper's administration is not
without its faults. They are rather
numerous and glazing. 1t is not nee
essary in pointing them out to lie
and misrepresent. II such methods
are to be the stock in trade Of the
governors opponents they will fail
and he will be the beneficiary Of the
reaction. No votes will be made for
democracy in this campatgn by re-
fusing Gov. Hooper that fair treat
ment to which all candidates are en-.
titled. The people will not be mis-
led by the character Of stun handed
out to them by the Times.

After July 1 an addition of five per cent

the village had money sufficient to paw

money for that purpose.
