Sailors Memorial

II was thinking Of the folks at home
and what Memorial day means to
them" said Stephen r. whitney when
asked what prompted him to build and
launch eleven years ago on the Poto-
mac river a boat loaded with flowers
IN memory Of the men OF the United
States navy killed at sea.
by the folks at home I mean those
wives. mothers. fathers and sweet
hearts who waited In vain for the
homecoming OF their beloved sailor
boys. They have never had the consO-
lation of placing a wreath OF flowers
on the grave where rests all that is
near and dear to them
THE homecoming Of a soldier, even
though he was but bullet ridden, life
less clay. was some consolation TO
those who waited for that homecom-
Ing. The fact that the dear one was
buried with love and honor was some
thing. and the assurance that the spot
where he rests will never be forgotten,
that loving hands. prompted by CRATE
full hearts. will strew flowers over his
grave on each succeeding Memorial
day In a measure brings consolation.
But what Of those who waited In
grief stricken suspense for the sailor
boys who never returnedi All that
they ever knew was through Q brief

bravely to the last: then. quietly and

The time has come when the law
OF nature makes Il necessary for us to
look forward TO a constant and in
creasingly rapid decrease through
death In the membership of the Grand
Army. just as those who now are our
friends and brothers in the south. but
who In the years OF the great war we
deemed our enemies. must contemplate

their veterans.
The membership Of the Grand Army
is decreasing by geometrical ratio, and
Of course Its decrease may be exclu-
sively attributed TO the work OF the
Great Reaper.

NUMBER IS
BURGLARS ENTER
THOMAS STORE.

The general store of j. R. Thom-
as, between the two railroads on
Clifton Street, was entered by
thieves on last Friday night and
robbed of goods estimated to be
worth $100 or more. Mr.. Thomas
located the loss of at least fourteen
pairs of shoes, all of them good ones
such as the American Gentleman"
several sacks Of flour, two boxes Of
cigars, several pounds of candy, un-
derclothing etc, in fact the exact
amount Of the loss could not be
told The store was entered
through window at the rear, but
at what time is not known, nor was
anything known Of the burglary un-
til the next morning.
Such robbery is a serious thing
and a close watch should be kept
for the the thief or thieves who will
doubtless attempt to continue the
operations.

FINE RECORD OF
BAGGAGE CLAIMS.

The record made by the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & St. Louis Rail
way the past year in the handling
OF baggage on its lines is truly a re-
markable one, when one stops TO
consider the thousands Of pieces Of
baggage handled within a twelve
month period on a railroad.
The annual report submitted to
the stockholders shows that during
the year the loss and damage claims
paid on baggage was only $309.18
as against $1,603 80 the previous
year 1t Is doubted If any other
railroad in the country can show
such a record.
While the payments for loss and
damage to freight showed a mater
ial reduction last year as compared
with the previous year, the claim
department through campaign for
better packing and distinct marking
OF freight, expects to still further re-
duce payments of this character,
and has asked the cooperation Of
all shippers to this end.

UNOFFICIAL
ESTIMATES.

Last Saturday the estimate was
made that the next Tennessee Leg
islature would be made up Of six
Republicans and twenty six Demo
Gratis in the Senate, while the Low
er House will contain twenty-six
Republicans and seventy-three Dem
ocrats. If all are good men, the
minority will be given a square
deal"
The same report gave Rye a lead
Of 28.752 over Mr.. Overall. Lets
see how far that figure missed the
official count.
Wilson's majority over Hughes, as
unoficlally reported. is 3S957. The
Hughes vote this year was 6,l02
more than the combined vote cast
for Taft and Roosevelt four years
ago, while the Democratic vote this
year is 10000 more than in 1912.

they preferred Sims. They knew
what Sims stood for; they knew be

great constructive and progressive
legislation that has been advocated
and made into law by the Demo-
Gratis Of the state and nation. 1t is
lucky the Democrats had Mr.. Sims
as their candidate. The race was
uncomfortably close. But with a
tried and experienced man as can
didate, the Democrats had the bet
ter Of the break.
Mr.. Sims is all right. He has as
clean 4 record as anyone who ever
went to Congress. He has always
stood BY the farmers; they will be
satisfied with his continued admin

In q way MI. Sims has had a hard
row; be has been the victim Of in
gratitude on many occasions. and in
most instances there was no logical
excuse for it other than politics ,
We have in mind where he has
made four appointments and the

pointees have gone back on him.

Mr.. Sims carries out the golden rule

course Of his "double-crossers." and

Nearly One-Hundred
On Pension List.

The pension roll Of the Nashville;
Chattanooga & 81 eI0uis FaiIway
has almost reached the one-hun-
dred. To be exact there are nineT
ty-two on the list. These men, ben
efficiaries Of the pension system,
are old and loyal employees who are
drawing pay from the company al
though their days of active service
are over.
To maintain this pension system,
the road paid out last year $4,000
which was an increase Of $4,000
over the year before.
The pension system Of the N. G.
is modelled after the systems used
by many OF the larger Eastern lines
and by some Of the big industrial
plants Of the country, and is de-
signed to insure the faithful en-
ploye a competence when the shad-
ows begin to lengthen. The size Of
the pension depends upon the

he has been drawing for q given

HURRICANE WARNINGS CAUSE
GREAT DEMAND FOR COTTON
Active Months Sell at Advance of 16
to IS Points

NEW YORK, July 5.--A firm tone was
displayed on the cotton exchange at the
start this morning. July was down points
but other months were / point higher to
. points lower. The weakness in Liverpool
was ignored
There was good demand for profess
slonals and commission houses with Wall
street interests sold Liverpool supplied
large amount of January
After selling about to Q points net
higher toward the end of the first hour the
market became rather less active. Pros
poets for rains in the eastern belt as a re-
suit of the Gulf storm reported off New
Orleans this morning seemed to be one OF
the more prominent factors on the ad-
vance, the eastern belt is supposed to
need warm, dry weather Spot houses were
good buyers here, while there was quite an,
active early demand for October from Liv-
erpool.
Bullish Southern spot advices also con-
tributed to the advance which carried Oc-
tober contracts up to 1904 or 10 points
above the level reached on the break follow
ing the Governments crop report of last
Saturday.
Liverpool cables were disappointing
Prices were due unchanged to 3h points
higher, but at the time of the opening here
they were TO y points lower. The free
offerings OF spots in the English market
were said to be responsible for the decline
in futures.
Active months were about 1S to IS points
above Mondays closing figures, with Octo-
ber selling at 1913, or 9S points above the
low level of Saturday. The buying seemed
to taper off around this level but offerings
were light and the market held within a
point or two OF the best during the early
noon hour.
