Lexington Has very
Distinguished Visitor.

Lexington had a prominent visi-
tor between trains last Saturday in
the person of Hon. ALI A. Taylor, of
East Tennessee, Republican elector
for the statesat-large. Col. Taylor
while here, spent most of his time
in the office ofCounty Register John
L. Sullivan, where he was called
upon and shook hands with a num-
Der Of our citizens, who remembered
him as the Knight Of the Red Rose.
in the War Of the Roses" when he
and his brother Bob, the late United
States Senator, former governor of
Tennessee and Representative in
Congress from the First District,
canvassed the State as the electors,
respectively, for the Republican and
Democratic national tickets--and
later in the memorable tour Of the
brothers in their combined lecture
Yankee Doodle and Dixie, in which
Bob spoke Of the glories of Dixie and
ALI paid an unsurpassed tribute to
America and Americans. Colonel
Taylor was on his way to Decatur
vile. where he was billed to speak
Saturday afternoon in behalf Of the
Hughes ticket.
Col. Taylor admitted himself the
father Of that bright young orator
Ben Taylor, who is also canvassine
the State--but alas and alack--in
the interest Of the party Of Thomas
Jefferson. the Democratic party.
Col. Taylor said that he had six
votes in his home and that five Of
them were right, that in the
boy. Ben, the Haynes blood domi-
mates, the result is a Democrat
which reminds US that not long AGO
some newspaper quoted All. as say
Ing that he had tried to raise Ben
right" and another paper added.
We'll, maybe he did"
The visit Of Of Col. All. to Lexine-
ton was enjoyed and he was again
met by many who remembered both
himself and his lamented brother.
Bob, with great deal Of pleasure.
1t was recalled while Col, Taylor
was here that it was just twenty
eight years ago that day the 18th
of October, that Bob Taylor and
Capt. Sam Hawkins spoke in Lex
ington as Democratic and Republi-
can electors, since which time both
Of the speakers have gone to their
eternal reward, leaving many hearts
to mourn their loss.

Governor Tom c. Rye
Makes Address to Voters
Of Henderson County.

The visitation of Governor Tom
G. Rye to Lexington last Monday is
entitled to be classed as one OF The
suspicious events in which The
Democrats of the country covering
a period Of years dating back to the
days when the political orator was
a greater factor in political life han
he is now regarded.
The governor, accompanieN by
his son-in-law, Mr.. Nolan, JOIN M.
Mclean, representative Of the Ten
nessean and American, and Wild.
Scruggs, candidate for Secretary Of
State, arrived here at little after
IL o'clock, noon, on the belated IL:
40 train, and was met at the station
by a large number Of Democrats
(with a sprinkling of Republicans
who know and admire the Govern
orr and the Governor and party
were conveyed in autoes to- the
DAVIS Hotel, where Tom Rye as
most of our elder Democrats vet adj
dress him, was called upon before
the speaking hour-to the satisfac-
ton Of those who had missed the
pleasure Of shaking hands with His
Excellency" after he had aligned
from the train and before he reach
his auto.
Shortly after l o'clock and after
the Circuit court room was packed
to its capacity (and then Soine)
Gov. Rye arrived, escorted b1 his
longtime friend. Judge N. R2BaZham
and others, after which thsIs as ro

Congress L. P. Pad8ett
Makes Address Here.

Hon. L. P. Padeett, of Columbia
Maury county, representative in
Congress from the Seventh district
of Tennessee, spoke in the Circuit
court room last Monday afternoon
to a crowd of but fair proportions,
many Of whom were Republicans
and several Of the Republicans,
in addition to all the Democrats,
either highly praised or spoke in
most complimentary terms Of the
manner in which the Congressman
presented his subject.
Dr.. w. 7. Watson called the meet
ing to order and the speaker was in
troduced by former Mayor c. C.
Sweat, who did honor to the occa-
sion, to the Democratic party and
its leader, Woodrow Wilson, and to
the speaker Of the day in his own
language, which caught the au-
dience with evident favor.
Mr.. Padgett said that he cared
not for the politics Of his hearers as
it was his intention to address him
self to their knowledge of history,
their intelligence and their patriot
ism. He showed at the outset that
the Republican party IS a lineal de-
scendant Of Alexander Hamilton,
who held to the idea that the
masses of.the people we're not ca
pable Of self government and that
the power Of government should be
delegated to a limited number, He
then showed that the Democratic
party is descended from Thomas
jefferson, who stood for the political
doctrine that in republican form
! of government the people have the
right and power to rule. He re-
counted le1kl1 1Ilie artsQf
the Democratic parry under Wood
row Wilson, stated that the Repub-
licans while in power for fifty years
attempted no such legislation, and
asked his Republican hearers the
question, why did you not do those
things in all the half century that
your party was in powerg" There
was nothing offensive in the speech
of Mr.. Padgett to- the most sensitive
Republican, and as we have stated,
many Of them gave him credit Of
making an excellent speech. Mr..
Padgett came in at 9:20 Monday
morning, stopped at the DAVIS Hotel
and while in his room before the
speaking was called on by number
of democratic citizens. The speech
es of the character made by Mr..
Padgett can not fail to open the
eyes of farmers to the fraudulent
claim Of the Republican party on
the question of alleged protection.

the introduction, which he did in
His own happy manner" as follows:
Fellow Citizens::-Th is a kind
of rye which is defined to be a spe-
cies of grain, Of which there are
several varieties. There is another
kind Of Rye which shall define as
a stalwart specimen Of Christian
manhood, and of which there is on
ly one variety. That variety is the
embodiment Of honour, integrity,
uprightness, benevolence, t m
perance, kindness, love and unswerv-
ing fidelity to political trust. These
elements are dominated by a will
that commands any situation; an
inhexible will, not dogged stub
bornness; an imperious will, not
hard-headness, but will that
chooses right, and after that choice
is made, remains true to the ch Oice,
conscious that there isn't enough
money coined to change it, or
enough in Memphis, Nashville, Chat
tanooga or Knoxville to coerce that
will.
Judge Governor and his politi-
tical party as you would tree, by
its fruits; for by their fruits We shall
know them" BY that divinely ap-
proved standard Tennessee Demo-
cracy invites the enlightened electo-
rate. Honest, capable, brilliant Tom
Rye has crumpled Crump in Mem
phis, torn down the play Howse Of
the lawless element in Nashville and
championed good government in
every quarter Of the state"
Il count myself thrice happy to
present to you your present and
you next Governor, Temperate, Cou-
rageous Rye"
The Governors Introductory re-
marks gave expression to.his pleas
ure of speaking in the town and
county where he had had so many
loyal friends, especially did he re-
fer to q years ago, when, a candl-
date for attorney-general, his cause
was vigorously espoused by Joe
|C. Davis, L. I. Fielder and Others
and fought to the bitter end in
which, as the Governor expressed it,
he went down in glorious defeat.
Governor Rye reviewed to some
extent the state debt question, re-

Fire at Spring Green

The recent fire was the most destruc-
tive Spring Green has had. The ruined
building known as Posts block extend
ed north and east on two streets cover
ing half block in each direction and
about 60 feet deep. 1t was brick
veneered structure, three stories high
and was built by Mr.. Post about twenty
one years ago. The building was divid-
ed into three sections by means of stone
fire walls extending from the ground
to the top of the cornice.
The hotel section escaped with very
little damage and is the portion extend
ing to the east. The rest of the build
ing contained three store rooms on the
ground floor Mr.. and Mrs. G. F.
Posts living rooms, POSTS opera house
and several office rooms on the second
floor and bed rooms on the third floor.
The hall was two stories high and was
better than can be found ina town of
this size. The originsof the fire is I'M
known and was first discovered by oc
cupants of the hotel when their rooms
became filled with smoke. The alarm
was given at IL O. clock. The fire was
discovered in the rear of the Hub, the
general merchandise store, of which
Henry Oleson was the proprietor and
occupied the corner of the building. By
the time help arrived the fire had gain
ed great Roadway and it wasl impossi
BILE to get into the building to reach it
as everylroom seemed to be filled with
smoke. The entire stock of the Hub
was destroyed. Thomas Pollard har-
ness maker saved the biggest part of
his stock and so did McNulty Bros, gen
eral merchandise dealers. Though all
are said to be insured the loss however
is big one and one that will be felt
financially as we'll as otherwise by every
citizen of the village and community
Mr.. and Mrs. Post are the heaviest
losers, though the building carried insur-
ance their loss will run into thousands
to say nothing Of Mrs. Posts paintings
and works of art alone with her own
hands that money can never replace. At
present there are no vacant store rooms
and these merchants will be unable to do
business for some time. Mr.. and Mrs
Post were in Baraboo at the time and
did not know of their loss until they
arrived home in the afternoon the next
day.
The whole thing is pitiful scene and
sympathy is with the losers especially
Mr.. and Mrs. Post. Mr.. Post has not
stated yet whether he will rebuild.

CROOKED ROAD
MAY Be CHANGED

Steps are being taken to change the
road leading from the Baraboo- Merr. :
mack highway to the Kirkland side of
Devils Lake. A survey has been made
and blue print prepared of the pro-
posed Improvement. A. r. Hurst and
Surveyor Weymouth of the state high
way commission have been over the
ground and are working for the change.
The state conservation commission
which organize alton has charge of the
park, also favors the proposition. If
changed the road will follow the foot
OF the bluff, from the Baraboo-Mer-
rimack road to the lake, ending near
the Kirkland pavilion or where the sta
ton was formerly located If the road
should be changed the ststion may be
moved back to Its old location, which
would be great relief to a suffering
public. The road passes through
but one farm, the Park Valley firm,
and the state park, and as the owner
OF the farm, A. G. Zauft, is working
for the change there is no opposition
The new ro4d would eliminate two bad
hills and would be on much more level
ground. The state conservation commits
ion has some money to use and an eff
fort is being made to obtain state aid
in addition. An effort will also be made
to improve the Observation-Disclosures
