Fears are expressed in diplomatic

Vienna, it is pointed out, would be
likely TO furnish fertile ground for the

CHILD INJURED
RIDING MULE

Two of Dave Maxey's children
were injured on Tuesday,. one >suf-
fering a fracture of the arm, when
the mule they were riding took
fright. The children had been going
to the field with Mr.. Mafey for the
purpose Of riding the mule back to
the house. 1t was a gentle animal
and Dave put the Children boy
and a girl--on the mule without
removing the harness. The girl
either fell or was thrown. This
frightened his muleship and he be-
gan running and bucking. The boy
was thrown, his foot became entan-
gled in the gear, but, being small
child, his head did not reach the
ground, and he was perhaps saved
horrible death. However, he re-
ceived a powerful shaking up.

GARRETT SPEECH
ATCONVENTION
MADE BIG HIT

The keynote speech of Congress
man FINS J. Garrett of the Ninth
district, was one of the features of
the state convention.
In an address Of more than an
hour, which was often punctured by
applause, especially when reference
was made to President Wilson and
the democratic administration, he
gave a very able and exhaustive sur
vey of the achievements Of the dem
ocratic party during its tenure in Of
flee and flayed the republican par
ty for its policy of inaction and
negation.
He made little reference to state
affairs but dealt almost solely with
national issues. He pointed out at
great length and with persuasive pow
err the great accomplishments of the
party in both its peace and war
measures. The climax of his speech
came when he read telegram from
President Wilson, in which the lat
ter asked the support of the democ-
racy of Tennessee. 1t was as fol-
lows: t..
Permit me through you to extend
greetings to the loyal democrats of
Tennessee who have been tested in
war and in peace, and never in vain;
and to express sincere confidence
that in the struggle that is to come
they will never falter nor fail.

SINGING SCHOOL HAV-
ING GOOD ATTENDANCE

The singing scool started last
Monday evening at the Methodist
church with a good attendance,
Messrs. Trussell and Wheeler came
in Monday and took up their work
on due time, teaching and singing
some good songs. A junior and a
senior choir was organized with a
good membership in each class. The
junior class meets at 1880 and the
seniors at 8 o'clock. This is a good
work and beneficial to the citizens
of Dresden, if they will but take ad-
vantage of the opportunity. These
instructors are capable of teaching
people to sing and why not every
one come out and take part in sing
ing each night?

Sen. Capper Thinks Leading
Candidates Doomed. Low
den's Chances Best

Chicago, June 8.-Tonight it
looks more than ever like a dark
horse, Not That any one of the
three candidates has been eliminated
or has shown any loss of strength,
but none of them has made a gain
that would convince an outside OBJ
never that he has anything like a
cinch on the nomination. The wise
ones think that the Big Three will
be given a run for their money and
chance to win if they can on the
early ballots. After that there will
be another story.
If Gov. Lowden, who now shows
more signs of attracting the uncer.
tain vote than either of the others
is unable to win after few ballots
the Harding managers are planning
to make a supreme effort to swing
large part Of the Lowden support
to the Ohio man, and then hope tt
gather up q sufficient number Of
scattering votes to end the contest
If they fHil in this the leader will
consult the ouija board and the darl
horses now punched in the field will
have their opportunity, with Gov
S3rOul, Justice Hughes, Chairman
Hayes and Gov. Allen the favorites
The interest in Gov SprOul grows
hourly. He is recognized as a man
of progressive tendencies who
would be acceptable to conservative
fasteners and not at all objection
able to the west, inasmuch rs he has
shown a sympathy with many of the
ideas that the middle west regards
of first importance.

lied HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
SWEET POTATO
SUIT SETTLED

The suits against George E. Ford,
started last week by Castleman ar d
Margrave of Gleason, have been dis
missed. They were founded upon
verbal contracts for the sale and pur-
chase of sweet potatoes, it being
claimed by Castleman that Mi Ford
was to have accepted them during
the month of May, and as soon as
sril was filed it devel ped that
there had been misuut!ci standing as
to the time Of deliv ~. Mr.. Ford
was under the impression that he
would not be required to take the
goods until some of those already
delivered, which arrived upoa CON
gested market, could be disposed OF;
his impression was gathered from
conversation with Jesse Margrave in
Chicago and telephone conversation
with Ed Castleman, Gleason. So,
when the parties came together last
Saturday and the misunderstanding
became apparent, immediate arrange
ments were made for handling the
goods, four cars in all. In view the
situation, each party paid half of
the cost and the proceedings are sat
isfactorily ended. Mr.. Keene has
returned from another shipping sta
ton to attend to inspection Of the
potatoes arid they viii roll away
from Gleason in few days.

SHIELDS CONDEMNED BY
THE STATE CONVENTION
CARPETS SPEECH
IS COMPLIMENTED

The following editorial compli-
ment Of Mr.. CARROTS address be-
fore the state convention, delivered
on Tuesday, appeared in Wednes-
days Nashville Banner:
Representative Finis Garrett made
well-considered and impressive
speech before the state democratic
convention yesterday. He is an ora
tor of fine ability and shows thor
ough acquaintance with public at
fairs.
Mr.. CARROTS speech contrasted
with that which Henry Cabot Lodge
made simultaneously at Chicago. It
was a broad, sounder, more patriot
ic utterance. 1t was free from the
suggestion of demagogy, WHICH,
Lodges speech was not, and showed
no disposition to play on prejudices
as Lodges speech did, And withal,
Mr.. CARROTS speech was in diction
and general rhetorical quality quite
the equal of that of the Massachu-
sets senator, who is supposed to be
literary man of high degree. 1t is
said, too, that Lodge kept closely to
his manuscript and Garrett spoke
finland.
Mr.. Lodge said something tO8the
effect that the coming campaign
was to be another like that of 1860.
What he exactly meant by that is not
clear. In 1860 the republican party
came into power by electing its can
didate by a minority vote over di-
vided opposition Of three other can
didates, and it's success produced civ
il war. The conditions are no ways
similar this year and it surely is to
be hoped that the result will not be
in any respect the same.
The republican party of 1860 was
radical in the attitude it then as
sumed. It would be radical now
should it go the way that Hiram
johnson would direct it. AS Lodge
and his kind lead it it is not much
but tradition and the critic and
opponent of Woodrow Wilson. It
viii be different to reconcile it's diff
ferent elements on live issues.
Mr.. Garrett yesterday said:
We stand upon the threshold of
campaign in which the heart and
conscience of the nation are to be
searched as they have not been
searched for half a century; indeed
as they have never been in all our
history as sovereign people.
The imperious demand of the age
the demand which is not to be de-
MED if we would triumph over the
SordldnesS and selflshnesS Which our
enemies are seeking to enthrone in
the place of power-is for clear
vision, for hands that do not tremble.
for hearts that do not quake.
This~was a saner and more whole
some outlook than was implied in
Lodges reference to 1860.
AS much as Lodge does not live in
the past he lives for partisan and per-
sonal animosities and this fact was
made apparent in his speech yester-
day. He has none of the visions to
which Mr.. Garrett referred.
