JONES RACE MOST
SPECTULAR KNOWN
YOUNG. REPRESENTATIVE ELECT
is PHYSICIAN AND THIRTY
THREE YEARS or AGE.

DR.. James II. Jones, of Hampshire,
who made the most sensational and
spectacular race for representative
ever made in Maury county, and
whose election to the legislature was
little less than a revolution, having
upset all of the traditions of the
past and being the second man ever
elected in Tennessee whose name was
written in a ballot and not printed on
it, is thirty-one years OF age. He
has been engaged in the practice of
medicine at Hampshire since his grad
uation from Vanderbilt University
several years ago. He is exceedingly
popular in his home section and has
large number of friends in all parts
of the county.
DR.. Jones remarkable victory was
due to several causes, the chief factor
being the tremendous vote of the road
bond advocates especially in the sew
enth and the ninth districts. His cleo
ton was distinct triumph for the adj
vocates Of the bond issues that have
been authorized and pledged by the
county court and APPARENTLY removes
all doubt as to public sentiment be-
hind the bond issues and the state
highways. The second most impor-
tant factor in his favor was the I'M
popularity of the present road law. In
the country districts, where this law
has never had many friends, he was
given heavy support. Unquestionably
the OPPOSITION in the county to the road
commission system as we'll as to the
wheel tax helped to produce the revo,
luton.
DIR. Jones is a native of the county
and is man Of strong personality and
qualified for the Office to which he has
been elected.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. IA great
college Of arts and sciences for Mem.
phis now seems to be an assured fact.
1t will be known al the Southwest
ern College and will rank with Prince
ton, Vanderbilt and Tulane. Memphis
has more than met the required con
ditions to have the old Southwestern
Presbyterian University moved from
ClarksVille to this city to form the
nucleus of the new institution. She
was to raise $500, 600 and give the nee,
essary ground, She has done. more.
She has not only gone over the mark
in raising funds, cf about 100000, but
she has ALSO offered two excellent
sites for the school.
Since Memphis has successfully met
the requirements, it is now up to the
Synods of Alabama, Mississippi, Lou
isiana and Tennessee to do the rest--
that is, to raise the sum 1of $l,000,000
as a minimum for the endowment Of
the college. AT recent meeting of
the Synod of Tennessee, the synod
formally accepted the sum Of 100000
as its part. A resolution was passed
heartily approving the whole plan for
the establishment of the big college,
and a campaign committee Of ten
prominent citizens of Tennessee, with
DR.. James l. Vance, of Nashville, as
chairman, was appointed to cooper
ate With the general committee.
The Synods Of Alabama, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Louisiana are TO meet about
the middle Of November and each will
take action on the matter It is a
foregone conclusion that each of these
Synods will give its hearty approval
to the college, just as Tennessee has
done, and that each will agree to raise
it's quota of the endowment fund of
81 100000. All Presbyterians who
have looked into the matter are enthu-
sastic for the new college.

SUFFER DEFEAT
REPUBLICANS HAVE ELECTED
FOUR AND MAYBE FIVE OF
MEMBERS. FROM STATE.
CAPTURE THIRD AND EIGHTH
First Time IN Twenty.Six Years That
Republicans Have Elected More
Than Two Congressman From Ten
nessee--Hull in Doubt.
(From Wednesdays. Daily Herald>)

(Ffom Wednesdays Daily Heraid0
For the first time in tWenty-six
years the republicans have elected
more than two representatives in con.
gress from Tennessee. In 1894 the re-
publicans elected four Of the ten mem
bers capturing the first, second, third
and eighth districts. They have ap-
parently elected members in the same
districts this year and Hull in the
fourth district is not regarded as alto.
gether certain of election.
One of the remarkable develop
ments of the situation is that Joe
Brown, who it is claimed by republi-
cans has defeated the veteran Moon
in the third district, is the son of the
last republican to represent shat dis
trict in congress. Twenty-six years
ago Foster " Brown, father of Joe
Brown, the republican candidate Tues
| day, defeated the democratic nominee.
The late Judge John f. Mccall was
elected from the eighth district in
1894 defeating B. A. Enloe, at pres
ent chairman of the state railroad
commission. He was the last repub-
! lican from that district 1t is rather
coincidence that these turnovers
came in districts that were represent
ed by the Oldest members in point of
| service.
| Should Hull be defeated by Clouse,
republican in the fourth district it will
be the, first time since reconstruction
days that the republicans have had
as many as half of the representa-
tives from Tennessee. All that saved
the state from a republican senator
! probably was that none was elected
this year.

pears to haYe won in the eighth dis
trict, is a former member of the legis-
lature and is a veteran of the world
