Nashville, Nov. 30.-A citizen of
Tennessee is cropping in the dark who
believes that Gen. T. c. Rye, the gov

swerved from his stump observations

he alked freely of his work of the

ed a conical pile of mail, comprising
fifty or more letters that came by this

of them were. TIL majority were ex-

IN THE STATE
OF TENNESSEE
VALUABLE INF ORMAT|ON
Sixty Per Cent of the Weights and
Measures Used IN Selling Goods
IN the State Are Wrong

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 27.-The
startling statement that cixty jer cent
of the weights and measures used in
selling goods in the smaller towns of
Tennessee ar ewrong was made last
Thursday by DR.. Lucius p. Brown,
| state sealer of weigrts and measures
and head of the state pure food and
drugs department.
"Of these l am of the ooinion that
eighty per cent work against the con-
sumer." continued DR.. Brown. "EN-
cry county ought to have weights
and measures sealer. Only five have
this useful official now. Ws may ask
for additional legislation on this sub
ject."
The bad weights and measures are
stated to be mostly in the small towns
and the estimate of sixty per Gene in
correct does not include the cities of
Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and
Knoxville
The estimate was carefully made
after an extensive trip through Middle
and West Tennessee by Warren S.
Titeomb, deputy weights and measures
seader of the state. In one town
where forty-two pieces were tested
only five were found to be correct and
honest measures. Mr.. Titcomb states
he weighed thirty prints of butter and
found only five were correct prints.
In thecity of Jackson he estimates
that the people are losing $4,000 an
nually through false weighs and
measures. Before the law went into
effect in Nashville, DR.. Brown esti-
mates that the consumers Of the city
must have been losing almost quar-
ter of million dollars year through
Incorrect and false weights and
measures.
The following is taken from the
statute of the State of Tennessee of
the laws governing what shall be
the weight If bushel and and how
many bushels there are to barrel
The statute governing these legal
weights and measures says that they
shall be.

ment being IN England, he was ap-
pealed to for Instructions. HIS reply
was that those in charge should ex-
ercise such measures as are auhtor-
lied by the laws of Canada. In the
meantime the friends Of Anderson
were not idle. They made APPLICATION
to the court of the Queens bench in
Canada for a writ Of hRbeas corpus,
and thelegality Of AndersOn's deten-
tion was ably argued before the court.
The two judges Of the Queens
bench differed in their opinion and de-
livered their judgment ct great length.
The chief justice contended that the
law of England made 1t murder for
a man killing another for attempting
to arrest him under a legal warrant
and the law OF Missouri authorizd
any person TO bring in q colored man.
who was suspected Of being runa-
way slave. Diggs, therefore. was act
ing under legal authority as much as
if he had been armed with process.
Justice Mclean held that the prisoner
had willfully. maliciously and felon-
iously stabbed and killed Seneca
Diggs, and for this offense the keep
er of the Jail at Brantford Is COM
manded to receive the said John An
derson into his custody and hold him
until he is safely delivered in due
course of the law"
His lOrdship. the governor-genefal.
examined the testimony minutely and
took the point that the prisoner was
arrested in the first instance on an
insufficient complaint. that he was
detained without sufficient warrant,
and on insufficient 5evidence and no
definite charge and. therefore, thought
the prisoner entitled to his discharge.
TIL majority Of the court being of
the opinion that the detention was
legal, the prisoner was remanded to
Jail. Notice was Immediately given
for an appeal to the court OF errors
and appeals in upper Canada. The
case of the colored man met with
great sympathy in England. and the
British Foreign and Anti-Slayery So
ciety took prompt steps to yindicate
the principles and objects Of their
peculiar creed. The case was taken
up in Westminster Hall. II was de-
bated before Judge Lord Mansfield
and Chief Justice Cockburn.
An order was made to have Ander-
son sent to England for trial. This
was impossible at the time. as the
only way 1t could be done was by TAX
ing hi mthrough the United States,
when he would no doubt have been
seized. The case was still pending
when hostilities between tn north and
south occurrd, and nothing further
was done by the United States gov
srnment. and Anderson was finally
released.

For tine house speakership, Hoyt
Stewart, OF Cannon county, and L. P,
Cooper of Bedford county, aregoing
1t at lively tilt. There has been no
line-up ON them, and both have the
SUPPORTS hither and yon.
The chief clerkship of the senate Is
sought by W. NJ. Carter, of Lewis
burg. Stewart Towe, a Nashville news
paper man and formerly of Monroe
county. where John G. Gilbreath dis
covered him and started him in news
paper work in Nashville, wants the
assistant portfolio.
For clerk of the house, Paul w.
Treanor, one of the best known news
paper men in tn state, is fOrmid-
oble candidate. Mr., Treanor has been
pushing the pencil in the interests of
the democratic party and in the ex-
ploitations of the virtues and aspira-
tions of his friends for a quarter of
Il century, and many would like to
see him land this good job, which is
worth $4,000 at least. John Green, of
Brownsville, and Chas, G. Taylor, of
Nashville, are also after the place.
Hugh Bennett, of Humboldt, Gibson
county; Nathan d. White, of Henry
county, and Henry Wilson, of the same
bailiwick, want to be assistant clerk
of the house.
The contest for state treasurer is
sought by Porter Dunlap, who was
vice-chaiman of the Rye campaign.
He lives at Dover, Stewart county, and
is lawyer. He is thus far opposed
by Joe Creath, of Shelby county.
The comptrollership has begun to
take on leaven. State Democratic
Chairman L. D. Hill. who resides at
Sparta, White county, is very much
in the fight. He is the father of DR..
o. w. Hill. of Knoxville. Judge Hill
is opposed by Geo. E. Woollen, incum-
bent; c. P. Williams. of Winchester;
W. R. Mckinney, of Brownsville, cous-
in of the former senate speaker; r. c.
Hunt, of Dickson; while John H. Trice,
former safe prison commissioner, is
talked of.

great deal of study and inYestiga-
ton. He had planned to make a visit
to the state capitals of Alabama and
Georgia to investigate the laws provid-
ing for working convicts on public
roads. The party is pledged 10 this.
He would also like to investigate and
weigh every aspect of the Alabama
state primary law. and to learn first
hand its effects. He feels that he
would be benefited by inquiry into
progressive laws in progressive states.
But the indications are that he will
have to do so at long range. Thus,
the new governor feels that he does
not know everything in the decalogue,
and therefore he is open to conviction
ind is fortifying himself with data
md facts in order to enable him to
keep faith with the people.
While l was in his room, number
of people entered. studied his man
uer and poise. He is quiet and
thoughtful, and possesses remarka-
BILE faculty of remembering faces,
names, circumstances and conditions.
This gift is not always that OF a
politician, though it is good asset.
No public man is a success without
it, because it is an art that he must
apply in the drudgery of office r0ut-
inc and detail, as well as when in the
spotlight,
The new governor will never make
a dark room intriguer. It is not in
him; it is foreign to his nature. He
Is simply Woodworking. honest man,
who weighs well his position by util-
izing his naive ability and years OF
training as a lawyer and business
man, ane once his deductions are made
and his conclusions reached, to carry
them to consummation. Nor does he
possess any of the bizarre and facti-
tious demagoguery that oftimes makes
a public man a temporary success.
When he decided to sign his name
Tom c. Rye" he typified his idea of
iife-he Is simply plain, honest,
forceful man of ability and profund-
ity. His friends declare he will grow
in the confidence and esteem of the
people the longer he is before them.
That's fairly food size-up OF Tom
Rye, and that's the character of man
who for two years at least will direct
he Affairs of the people of this COM
snonwealth.
AS stated in these dispatches earlier
IN the week, this Is the try-out sea-
son for candidates before the next leg

Then will come the period of elimin-

than to declare that he wants men
