Governor of Tenne
see Not Candidate
Major Thomas L. Emery.
ARE FOR HARMONY
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 11. Gov
ernor M. R. Patterson Saturday night
withdrew from the race to' succeed
himself as Governor- of Tennessee
Governor Patterson was the nominee
of the regular faction of the Demo
cratic party and has been bitterly op;
posed by the independent State-wide
prohibition Democrats, who, in coali
tion with the Republicans, elected a
State judiciary last month, defeating
a ticket' for which Governor Patterson
made a strenuous campaign of the
State. On Wednesday next the inde
pendents meet here in State conven
tion, a majority of the delegates com
ing instructed to vote-for the endorse
ment of B. W. Hooper, the Republican
nominee for Governor.
Governor Patterson, in his address
announcing his withdrawal, declares
he will not be an obstacle in the way
of his party's success at the polls nor
will he willingly contribute in any way
to the possibility of success of the Re
publicans in Tennessee. He with
draws in the interest of harmony and
that Democratic factions may get to
gether to prevent the loss of the State
In November. He makes reference to
interference of a Republican Presi
dent i-i Tennessee politics. In an in
terview following the issuance of the
statement, Governor Patterson e--elares
that he has no personal pref
erance in the matter of a Democratic
"nominee and that he will take the
stump for him, whoever he may be.
Pattersonjs political career has been
a stormy one, including his defeat of
former Senator E. W. Carmaek for the
gubernatorial nomination in a sensa
tional campaign, followed by the "kill
ing of Carmaek here by the Coopers,
their trial, which attracted national at
tention, and Patterson's pardon of D
B. Cooper within a few minutes rafter
"his conviction was sustained fey the
Supreme Court.
Weidon, N. C, Sept. 12. The body
of Major Thomas L. Emery, who died
in Staunton, Va., reached here Fri
day, and was met by members of Bill
Johnston Camp of Confederate Vet
erans, of which Major . Emery . was
commandant, and by the Junius Dan
iel Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy. The body was taken to
his home, "Shadeland," in South Wel
don, from which place the funeral ser
vice took place Saturday afternoon at
four o'clock.
Major Emery was among the first
to volunteer when the call was -made,
and at the battle of Malvern Hill he
was promoted from private to lieu
tenant for conspicuous bravery. Maj
Emery had been identified with the
industrial and commercial life of Wel
don for a generation. He served as
mayor of weidon for ten or hi teen
years, was president of the Weidon
fairs for nearly twenty-five years, and
was for a long time a member of the
county board of commissioners.
It" was Major Emery who first saw
the possibilities of a great manufac
turing town at the big falls of Roan
oke River, and it was owing to his
brain to plan, and enery to execute,
that the flourishing town of Roanoke
Rapids was called into existence. v
The funeral was conducted at Grace
Episcopal church by the rector, Rev.
H. H. Phelps, the choir rendering
some appropriate hymns, and at the
grave in Cedarwood cemetery the ser
vice was in charge of the Masons of
Weidon, Roanoke Rapids and Halifax.
Major Emery is survived by his
wife and one son, Charles R. Emery.

R
Sends in Resignation
to Hamilton Club
IS HOT ACCEPTED
Chicago, Sept. 11. A terse note of
resignation from the Hamilton Club
of which he had been a member
many years, was the answer made
Saturday by United States Senator
WilVfc'ri Lorimer to the action ol th
cluo president, John H. Batten, in
withdrawing his invitation to the
Koosevelt banquet Thursday. - night.
Uic invitation-was withdrawn at tne
demand of Colonel Roosevelt, who re
fused, to attend a . banquet at which
Seiialc- Lorimer also was a guest.
While Senator Lorimer urgel 'that
his -resignation he accepted lrpmedi-
t?iT. it is si'd that the Senaiovs
frierids on the c:ub board of govern
ors probably will refuse to vote the
acceptance.
Together with the resignation Sat
urday, news of correspondence from
President Batten to Senator Lorimer
developed, showing that the junior
Illinois Senator also was to have been
guest, -of honor, and it was the hope
that; the club would make the dinner
notable as a harmonious - occasion
where all factions of the Republican
party had broken bread together.
At least three invitations were sent
Lorimer, each urging him to attend
the banquet, and to the, last of - these
he sent his acceptance. After -this,
on the day: of the banquet, came the
sudden recall of the invitation.
The note of resignation was written
after a conference of the Senator
with a number, of his friends, and at
first was believed to be a cue which
would be followed by a number of
his admirers In the club. Later it
was decided by his friends to refuse
to accept his resignation.

Would Oust Army Mule.
"Washington, Sept 12. The truth
has -come out at last. General Leon
ard Wood, the new chief of staff of
the army, is an enemy of the army
mule. : In. his forthcoming-annual re
port fee is going to made a recommen
dation that steps be taken to substl
tute motor cars for mules.
The general will insist upon the
change for two . reasons r First, he
argues the motor car will do the same
work as mule-drawn wagons -and will
do it more Readily;- and, second, it
will be a move in the direction of Im
proving the morals of the army. , ,
It Is said that the army mule moves
only to the accompaniment of a prop
er1 amovnt 'of picturesque profanity.
With the elimination., of the mule
"cussing" will be reduced to the mini
mum, a
. Missouri furnishes more mules for
the army than any . other State. Gen
eral "Wood's recommendation, there
fore, will be a direct blow" at the
mule-ralsingindustry there. -
Durham, Trinity College, Sept. 10.
At a meeting of the baseball team
yesterday morning immediately after

who last year was barred from taking
part in inter-collegiate games because
of the ruling of the S. I. A. A., was
elected captain of the baseball team
The big fellow has entered college in
time this year, and his eligibility is
certain. The choice . of this popular
player for the captaincy is regarded
by the entire college community as an
unusually happy one. "Bob'" is not
only a ball player of first class order,
but a fellow . who has a friend in
every man in college. ;He Is one of
those big, hearty, kindly fellows that
one instinctively likes.
His record on Trinity's ball field Is

that shared with "Bud" Lane .; the
glory of making the team of 1907 the'
champions of -the South In, 1908 he
startled baseball enthusiasts a.lL over
the State by his remarkable stunt In
letting down - the Philadelphia ; Na
tionals without a single hit. No hit
games are his long suit. Trinity men
everywhere will rejoice in the selec
tion of "Bob" Gannt for the captaincy
of this years' team. , -
J Fayetteville Wins Pennant. .
' Rocky Mount, Sept. 12. Fayette
ville took the first double-header by
clouting the ball all -over the lot.
while Mayer was immensely effective.
This game decided the pennant lander
and Fayetteville "will fly the cham
pionship banner next year. In the
ninth, with a man on first and third.,
nobody down, the Railroaders appear
ed to have an excellent chance of
tieing the score, when the first triple
play ever- seen on the local field.was
pulled off and the side retired. The
play was a startler and for rattling
fast work of in-field jt has never been
equalled here. Both teams fielded
brilliantly and it was the hard hitting
by Fayetteville that got away with the
game. - Large attendance was prevent
ed by threatening weather.

Urcle Sam Will Replant Forests.
Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 12. Almost
before the ashes of the great fires
which have raged over the Black
Hills, destroying thousands of acres
of primeval pine forests, have grown
cold, the government rangers and
foresters are preparing to reseed the
blackened mountain side! and repair
the damage done by the flames to
the great water shed of the continent.
Already arrangements are being made
for gathering 250,000 bushels of pine
cones for use as seed and at the prop
er season these seed will be strewn
from one end of the burned section
to the other. In the Black Hills alone
more than 1,000 square miles of pine
forests have been destroyed and be
fore the falling snow puts an end to
further fires' as much more may be
burned over.
A bushel of pine cones is worth
more than a bushel of potatoes. The
Black Hills are great - producers c
Irish potatoes and the selling price
here is 60 cents per bushel. But a
bushel of good pine cones will bring
75 cents when delivered at any one
of the half-dozen receiving station?
which the government has established.
In charge of the reseeding work in
the Black Hills are Supervisor Kel-
leter of the northern half, and Super
visor Imes of the southern district.
Because of the immense area of this
year's devastated district, the. work
this winter and next spring will be
far more . extensive than ever before,
and consequently will cost the gov
ernment a far greater outlay than tho
work of any former year.

Washington, Sept. 12. President
Taft has commuted to four years the
sentence of Joseph A. Haas, who was
caught in 1908 by the "Secret Service
men in a raid on a counterfeiter's
plant at Braddock, Pa. Haas was sen
tenced to five years and is now in
Leavenworth penitentiary. '
Haas is a college man and a scient
ist." His sentence has been shortened

vice. While in prison he gave in
formation upon which counterfeiters,
now serving sentences, will be re-arrested
when they are released. He
has offered to the Secretary of the h

and silver bullion; said to be the
cheapest and most effective yet discov
ered, and has written a treatise on
isomeric theoretical ' organic chem
istry, which is to be published and of
fered to the Smithsonian -Institution.
Columbus, O., Sept. 11. In language
as emphatic as he could make it,. Col.
Roosevelt told the people of Columbu3
Saturday that scenes of disorder such
as had occurred here during the street
car strike, which is still in progress,
were reprehensible and reflected dis
ace upon any person who either
were responsible for them or tolerated
them.
Col. Roosevelt spoke at Goodale
Park to a crowd estimated at between
15,000 and 20,000. He was guarded by
an escort of regular troops from the
barracks at Columbus, although there
was no sign of disorder. The State
militia and a large number of police
men also were on duty.
With fists clenched and his face
set sternly, Col. Roosevelt told those
who heard him that it was their first
duty to repress lawlessness.
In his address Col. Roosevelt set
forth the duties of the citizens of
Columbus as twofordTas follows :
"First at once and without equivo
cation or hesitation, to enforce order,
suppress . violence, and see that the
law is obeyed in letter and spirit.
Second, as soon as this result has
been achieved, turn at once to the
great question of justice and exert
your whole power to find out the facts,
treating any refusal to give you all the
facts as a confession of guilt. If in
justice has been done exert the whole
power of the government to see that
is remedied forthwith and if there Is
any effort to prevent this, if the at.
tempt to remedy is obstructed, see to
it that there is not only a remedy but
also punishment; and take steps that
will effectually prevent a repetition of
the injustice.
"You people of Columbus face one
of the crises which from time to time
in our American life demand the ex
ercise of the highest qualities of good
citizenship. It is your immediate duty
to secure law and order and once this
has been done it becomes your even
higher and more pressing duty to
see that justice, full and complete, is
guaranteed alike to the employer, the
employee, and the people as a whole."
