Narrow Escapes From Death
When Brick Walls of Church
Collapse on Sunday Morning

While the preacher was IN the
midst of his sermon at the color
ed Methodist church Sunday
morning, the roof of the building
was discovered to be in flames.
Members of the congregation
rushed from the building and
turned in the alarm. The fire
company hurried to the scene of
the conflagratlon and made every
effort to extinguish the blaze,
although the flames had gained
such headway that they could
not be checked until all of the
wood work had been destroyed
and the side and rear walls had
fallen in.

Only Business Of Importance Is

Henry county Democrats will
meet at the courthouse Saturday
afternoon at l O'Clock for the
purpose of electing and instruct
ing delegates to the state con-
vention, which will be held at
Nashville May II. Every indi-
cation points to a harmonious

The convention will be called
to order by T. B. Gardner.
chairman of the county commit
tee, after which a chairman and
secretary will be elected. The
only other business to come be-
fore the meeting will be the
election and instruction of dele.
gates, which will probably be
done by resolution.
While Rye has considerable
opposition in the county, it is not
likely that any effort will be
made to prevent instructions for
him, as it is generally believed
that he will have no opponent
for the nomination.
Friends of Thos. ]. Walsh, of
Humboldt, candidate for railroad
commissioner, have been insist
ing that Henry county instruct
for him, and some of the politi-
clans who keep posted on local
conditions believe that he will
get Henry county. There is
some sentiment for an uninstuct-
ed delegation, however, and for
this reason it is possible that
Mr.. Walsh will not get the in
structions.
Following the recommendation
of the county committee, the
convention will probably instruct
for J. w. Lewis for a member of
the state convention platform
committee, although it is very
improbable that any instructions
for members of the state COM
mittee or delegates to the nation
al convention will be given.
During the past week num-
Der of counties throughout the
state have named their delegates
to the state convention. Among
the counties that have acted are
Washington, Carter, Hamilton,
Cannon and Coffee. Washing
ton, Hamilton and Carter in
structed for Walsh, while Cannon
and Coffee went for Enloe in the
railroad commissioner race.

ESTES STORY CAUSES
POLITICIANS TO BURN
MIDNIGHT OIL HERE
Friends Of Governor Take Ex-
ceptions To Article In The
Partisan
STORY PRINTED AND PAID
FOR AS AN ADVERTISEMENT
Committee Calls Upon Mana
ger Of Tennessee Prese
Bureau At Paris

An article sent out to the
newspapers of the state by the
Tennessee Press Bureau and
published in The Partisan, as
paid advertising, last week re-
suited in a big political storm
breaking in Paris Thursday night
a week ago, when Governor Rye
hurried here from Nashville and
a committee of his friends
rushed to the home of the mana
ger of the Tennessee Press Bu-
reau in an automobile, only to
find that the newspaperman had
already come to town.
The manager Of the bureau
was soon found in Paris and in
stead of attempting to run away
from the committee, told them
he prepared the story from in.
formation received from Men,
phis, that he was paid for his
trouble and that he would be glad
to furnish them the letter from
which he secured the informa-
ton.
1t looked as if friends of the
governor censured The Partisan
for printing the article as a paid
advertisement, but when they
considered the matter they soon
came to realize that The Partisan
has a perfect right to accept ad-
vertisipg from whom it pleases
and when it pleases, and so the
affair ended.
Attorney General z. Newton
Estes, of Memphis, about whom
the story was written, did not
hesitate to give the whole matter
to the public in the News Scimi-
tar Friday, stating that he made
no direct charge that Gov. Rye
had talked to members of the
Legislature about the impeach-
ment trial of Judge Edgington
and himself, but that he said
that there was a we'll defined ru.
NOR current in Nashville to that
effect, and that he believed that
if the matter should be investi-
gated that affadavits could be
secured from certain state sena-
tors substantiating the rumor.
The Partisan has never stated
that Gen. Estes was innocent OF
the charges but has said that
his friends insist that he is limo,
cent. The Partisan only feels
that fair play should be accord
ed him. The Partisan thinks
tina. every man is entitled to this
and hopes that Gen. Estes, as
we'll as we'll as Judge Edgington,
will be given a fair and impair
tial trial and that if they are
guilty that they will be given the
punishment they deserve, and
that if they are not guilty that
they will be exonerated. The
Partisan has said no more
than it will say again anc
it stands ready at all times tt
