FIGHT REMOVAL
ISSUES LETTER TO MEMBERS OF
LEGISLATURE IN DEFENSE
or CONDUCT.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Gov
Tom C. Rye has received the follow
ing letter written by Judge Jesse Edg
ington, of Memphis, to prominent
West Tennessee member Of the legis
lature, and forwarded by the latter to
the governor, the letter appearing to
be autographed as II prepared for I'll
members Of the legislature:
"My Dear Sir-The committee of
lawyers, which reported adversely to
me. conducted all Of its proceedings in
secret. No witnesses were sworn.
No record was made of their evidence
and the proceedings, except the re-
port of the committee. / was not per
mitted to be present during the inves-
tigation, either personally or by coun-
sell / was not informed as to the
names of the witnesse or as to what
their testimony was.
when l appeared before the COM
mittee, relying upon the assurance of
a fair trial, the members declined to
furnish me with the name of a single
witness or the character of any charge
that had been or might be made
against me.
"The committee did not call Peter
Monteverde before 1t, as have
learned, but they used as the basis for

which was false, and the same was
prepared for him by a certain political
charlatans. All ask Of you is to get
the truth of this matter and not be de-
ceived by the misrepresentation of

Il feel sure that you will require
proof before condemning me.
Il have been guilty of no miscon-

IN REMEMBRANCE OF
J. M. SHEPPARD, ST.

A dear old Saint; a grand old man:
With rarest virtues blest
An old-time Southern gentleman.
One of the old South's best.
Wearied and bowed, by burd'ning
years;
So tired. God gave him sleep
hes resting now. Earth calls it death,
And SO bereaved ones weep.
But he will wake again, dear hearts
With loved ones, gone before;
And having slept, you'll wake with
them,
And part from them no more.
Why should we weep and mourn for
those,
Who in Gods acre rest?
he watches DER His sleeping Saints
They're numbered with the blest
But still we grieve, and when words
fail
We tell our grief In tears;
we weep, we smile; we smile, we
weep
so through the fieeting years,
Affiictions teach US how to pray
And seek our Helper, God.
Tears make us tender, patient, kind
When others feel the rod.
Dependent on our loved, we lean.
When some prop falls, we weep,
Our times are in Gods hands, dear
hearts,
Until we also sleep.

are medicines so mixed that they taste

WANT 10 KNOW

UNIVERSITY OKLAHOMA SEEKS
KNOWLEDGE OF MAURY
CoUNTlAN

Prof. Joseph B. Thoburn, instruc
tor of the history department of the
University of Oklahoma, wants some
information about Col. G. w. Lewis
of this county, who in 1916 was sent
as one Of the commissioners by the
government to treat with the Co
manche Indians on the Southwestern
frontier. 1t is said that Mrs. Lewis
accompanied her husband and made
notes of the trip. The following let.
ter from Prof. Thoburn, at Norman,
Okla, is self-explanatory:
Norman, Okla, Feb rs, 1916. Editor
of The Herald, Columbia, Tennessee.
My dear Sir;
I'm gathering data for rather COM
prehensive history of Oklahoma,
find that, in the spring of 1916, Col.
g. w. Lewis, of Columbia, Tennessee,
was one of the commissioners who
were sent by the Government to treat
with the Comanche Indians on the
Southwestern frontier; also that his
wife accompanied him and kept notes
of observations made on the trip. AL
though that was seventy years ago,
am wondering if such notes, diary or
journal might not still be in existence.
l am therefore writing to ask if it is
possible for you to refer me to any
member of the Lewis family with
whom l might communicate in, quest
of further information. Assuring you
that the favor will be appreciated and
trusting that it may put you to no
inconvenience, | am, Sir
Yours very respectfully,
JOSEPH B. THoBURN."

| NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 29.-Gov
Rye has issued proclamation setting
apart the week from March 4 to
March II as Baby Week. The follow
ing is the proclamation Of the COVER
nor:
Among the many benefcient prop
agandas which are the outgrowth Of
our progressive civilization, few ad
dress themselves so forcibly to ouI
common humanity as that of "child
welfare" The children of today are
the men and women of tomorrow, and
our most loving conservation is an
unshirakable duty and should be q
pleasure. The more intelligence EN-
ployed, the better the men and women
bequeathed to the next generation
So, recognizing the Importance of this
subject, the Federal Government, by
an Act of Congress, has established
Bureau, known as the "Children's Blu
reau, fittingly presided over by wo.
man and mother, from which Bureau
many bulletins and other publications
containing valuable information are
disseminated
Whereas, Child life and its prob
lens have long received the attention
of many splendid organizations, all
with able officers and learned men,
! bers, organized for the purpose Of
offering and furnishing full informa-
ton on the conservation Of baby life,
to the end that the fifty per cent. Of
infant mortality, now caused by gross
| negligence and ignorance, shall no
longer be an objectionable sin to be
laid at the door of our citizenship to
disgrace a Christian civilization; and
Whereas, The General Federation
of Women's Clubs has undertaken to
promote a nationwide observance of
Baby Week" from March 4th to the
18th, when special efforts will be put
forth by the many organizations in
terested in disseminating information
and by calling attention to the appall-
ing infant mortality and its prevent
able causes.
"Now, therefore, |, Tom c. Rye,
Governor, do hereby designate March
4th to the 18th as Baby Week in the
State of Tennessee and challenge the
attention of our citizenship to this
needless waste of human life and COM
mend to them the Importance of dis.

by these patriotic agencies OF relief

OFFICIAL RtCjRD An OPEN BO6K
Stands For Gov. Rye And Upon The
Platform Adopted by the Democrats
Two Years Ago-BeIieVes in Peace
In the Party.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Col.
B. A. Enloe Tuesday announced his
candidacy for the nomination for rail
road commissioner for the western di-
vision of the state, subject to the &C
ton OF the state democratic conven-
yention, to be held in Nashville, May
II.
He states that his official record as
a member of the railroad commission
is an open book and that he heartily
'subscribes to the slogan: Peace to
the democratic party in Tennessee"
Col. Enloe states that he is support
ing Governor Rye for denomination
and reelection.
The statement in full follows:
ITO the Public:
Il hereby announce myself a candi-
date before the people. Of Tennessee
for the nomination for railroad COM
missioner for the western division of
the state, subject to the will of the
democratic party, as it may be ex-
pressed in the state democratic con-
vention to be held at Nashville on
May II, 1916.
Il deem it proper to say that | sup
ported Governor Rye two years ago;
that l have steadily supported his ad-
ministration since he has been in Of
flee, and that am supporting him for
denomination and reelection, because
he has lived up to his public pledges
to the people, which he made as the
democratic standard-bearer, and be-
cause he has with admirable courage
and unshrinking fidelity kept faith
with the party by redeeming its plat
form pledges to the people which
we're made when he was nominated.
will support the democratic ticket,
state and national, and do all may be
able to do for its success.
Il have not time to spare just now
from certain pressing official duties to
make more extended statement, even
If I deemed it necessary.
Il have been told by so many demo-
Gratis of influence from all parts OF
the state that | can do the party and
the state distinct service by pursu-
ing the course l have above mapped
out that l believe it, and l am acting
on that belief
In the approaching contest we will
need to place every possible unit of
power that responds to the call of
democracy with a vote behind our
ticket. Knowing this, am lining up
for the struggle, in the open, with no
secret alliance or combinations to
push my candidacy, but, regardless of
any and all lesser powers than the
democratic voters themselves, who
will express their wishes in the DEM
ocratic conventions when they ap-
point delegates to the state conven-
tion. Al
Almost every democrat l meet is
sounding the slogan: Peace to the
democratic party in Tennessee, to
which | heartily subscribe.
Il will not have time to write many
letters or to see many of the demo
Gratis of the state, but | send these
greetings to every democrat, both men
and women, in the state, to solocit
good win, kind words and effective
support.
MY official record is an open book.

HAS EUROPE GONE MAD?

When a mortal is too sorely tried
he is liable to lose his reason.
Why should it not be the same way
with nations? The nations of the
old world have been preparing for
war for years. They have brought to
frightful perfection all the instru-
ments Of destruction; they have been
fighting on a scale never dreamed of
before now for nearly is months,
until their soil is piled high with
their dead; their homes are desolat-
ed; the accumulations of years have
been swept away; one horror has
succeeded another, and now they are
in what seems to be a death-lock and
the truth is forced home upon them
that there is not victory in sight for
any of them.
There are evidences in sight that
there is a breaking down in judg-
ment in many places; that under the
fearful shock they are losing their
reasoning powers and are in immin-
ent danger of having their respective
countries filled with lunatics.
The spectacle that the homes of
the old world presents is enough to
unhinge the brains of strong men; the
vacant chairs, the empty cradles; the
mourning robes, the hungry women
and children; the broken hearts and
devastated fields; who can measure
the cataclysm that has already broken
upon them? Who can begin to esti-
mate when there will be any surcease
for the sorrow?
The most sinister feature of all is
the apparent effect thus far made up
on the living. 1t seems to be an in
crease in the desire for vengeance
Each is charging the blame upon the
other, and most of the peace talk, so
far has been with the condition that
no peace will be accepted that does
not include reparation for the losses
thus far sustained There is not a
reference to "the. everlasting Father
and Prince of Peace" Ships are fall
ing from the clouds with their dead
the seas are engulfing other ships
with their dead, and on land along a
thousand miles of battle front the
chariot wheels of war are grinding
their way over the hearts of men till
"all the earth wears the red record
lighted with cities aflame" and arm
les are taking on the outward look
of wild beasts bent only upon de-
stroying their kind.
Europe surely begins to take ON
the look of having in the stress gone
mad. and in such gigantic proper
tions that neutral nations will not
much longer be safe. but rather will
all be subject to such a scourge as
