(From Wednesdays Daily Herald) !,
Thomas H. Williams, temporarily
so-journing in Denmark with his
daughter, grand children and great
grand child, has written the follow
ing interesting letter to The Herald
from Copenhagen:
My Dear Finney:
In the past few days received cop
les of The Daily Herald bringing to me
the news of many happenings since |
left home up to and including August
5. No one who has not been similarly
situated can appreciate the feelings
that were mine, for | was anxious to
know what had occurred in my below
ed home. the Dimple, and to her peo-
pie who are so dear to me. Some Of
the events brought sadness to my
heart. The tragedy that has come into
the home of some of my dearest
friends. How my heart goes out to
l.
them In sincere sympathy. None of
us know what the future has in store
for us, and we should ever pray for
strength and grace to bear all the af-
| Elections that come to US, no matter
how unexpected or severe. / read the
notice of the serious illness of my
friend and comrade w. T. Galloway.
| scanned all the papers that came
| to me, and the last notice was, that
their was some improvement in his
condition Tom Galloway is a splen-
did and an exemplary citizen, always
to be found advocating what he con-
ceived to be right, and one whom we
shall miss. May his life be spared for
many years. l am glad to see the
| contestants in the telephone suit have
thus far been successful. The Maury
| county people are fortunate to have
such an astute attorney as Chas. P
Hatcher to represent them, and from
the argument made by him before the
commission showing the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company
is owned by the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. and only dummy
whereby they are attempting by extor-
ton to rob the subscribers of the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
Co. 1t is to be hoped the final decis-
ion of the commission will be to re-
fuse any increase in charges for SER
vice. Mckie says: If you have a
boquet for us, give it to us now. Don't
wait till they are patting us in the
| face with shovel" The editor OF
The Herald has often heard from me
approval and praise for his contribu
! tions-and now for the boquet-my
daughter, Mrs. Hamink, without know.
| ing my estimation or my having here.
tofore given such expression, with
reference to your editorial said to me,
that the editorials in The Herald were
excellent and she always read them
with great interest. That they were
usually strong and correct in what
ever was advocated. In the editorial
July 18th Cause of Depression"
state facts that cannot be truthfully
controverted. BY the policy of build.
ing a tariff wall around the United
States we will lose the trade of other
nations and become solated-already
Germany is making Roadway by un-
| derselling to gain the trade OF the
world. Other nations are doing like
wise. A case in point-my daughter
wished to buy an American made ar.
ticle, she could not at the time find
it on the market here and concluded
to wait. After some weeks she again
asked the merchant about it. His
reply was they had not and would not
buy any from America because of the
high prices asked, and could get them
elsewhere of equal merit at lower
| cost. 1t is human nature to trade with
those who trade with you, and the
only way America can compete with
other nations is to manufacture and
sell their good so as to meet this rival
competition. / realize the fact that
| am travelling in deep water. Copen-
hagen is beautiful city with many
attractions. There are parks and
places of amusement everywhere.
Fredericksburg park is one of the
largest-at the entrance beautiful
flower beds on each side of the walk
are arranged in most attractive and
artistic manner leading to the statute
