CORDIAL GREETING
GIVEN PATTERSON
On ARRIVAL HERE
TWO HUNDRED VOTERS GREET
HIM AT THE BETHEL
HOUSE.
ESCORTED FROM MT. PLEASANT
A Score of Automobiles in Parade
That Wends Its Way From the
Phosphate City to the DimpIe of
the Universe.

Nd. r. Patterson, candidate for the
United States senate, arrived in Co.
lumbia just before noon today and
was given cordial reception by his
followers at the Hotel Bethel. 1t had
been expected that Patterson and par.
ty would reach the city at IL o'clock
but two punctures in the machine &C.
cupied by the governor caused de.
lay OF three-quarters of an hour.
The ex-governor and party were es-
corted to the city by about twenty
automobiles, part of which went from
Columbia. The others were from the
country and the Mt Pleasant section.
When the candidate reached the no.
tel there was awaiting him crowd
OF probably couple of hundred vot-
ers. His arrival was announced by
stirring tune from the LewisburK
band that headed the procession. His
presence was greeted by lusty
cheer and then the crowd mostly dis.
persed While there were a large
number of patterson badges in the
crowd at the hotel 1t was a notable
fact that the proportion who wore
badges was smaller than has been the
habit in past crowds here.
AS soon as he arrived here the sem
atorial candidate went to his room at
the Hotel Bethel and was most cor.
daily received by his numerous
friends, who pledged hearty support
and told him that he was the prime
favorite in Maury county
While the reception Patterson re.
ceived here today was gratifying to
his supporters it does not compare
in size or enthusiasm to the recep-
tons given him in 1908, 1910 or 1912.
However, his followers say that COR
sidering the fact that it was so soon
after first Monday and the farmers
were SO busy the showing was good
one.
At the head of the parade was Coal
Oil Inspector Goodrum in a suit OF
pure white with pictures of Patterson
on both front and back.

CRIMINAL CASES
60 TO DECEMBER
CASES ON THE DOCKET ARE
POSTPONED BY JUDGE TILL
NEXT COURT.

Owing to the unusually light dock
ct and to the fact that many of the
lawyers were otherwise engaged,
Judge Mcknight in the criminal court,
has postponed all the litigated cases
on the criminal docket until the De-
cember term of the court. There are
only about half dozen of these
cases and the defendants are on bond.
Lawyers are not ready and by post
poning them the judge will save costs
of summoning juries which would
probably not be called upon to serve.

He urged all true Americans to sup
port the President, and said that in
years to come the names Of four Prcsi-
dents would stand out in history above
all others, Washington, Jefferson, Lin

"As Washington fought against on

chains OF bondage from tho average

Mr.. Folk said no President has had
