WHAT 1TJEANS fitterson's Defeat May Give Tennessee to the Republicans IN THE NEXT ELECTION Ilut the Democrats, Though Willing to Adopt Desperate Measuies to (let Kid of Patterson and His Methods, ho Not Contemplate VI timute Surrender of the State. There are a great many people who do not understand the political iituation in Tennessee, which Zach McGhee makes perfectly plain in a ietter to The State. He says the triumph of the independent judicial ticket In the election on last Thursday means the beginning of the end of what has come to be known as "Pattersonlsm" in Tennessee. The partizans of Gov. Patterson have been calling their organization the Democratic party and hence trying to create the impression that the election of the Patterson judges, as well as the election of Patterson himself in Novenibei. was necessary to the salvation o* the Democratic party. Tlie i?de|M?ndents or anti-Pnttersou Democrats, on ?4ie contrary, have been declaring that the only salvation of tho Democratic party and more especially of IK?mocratic prm- J ciples in government was the defeat of Patterson and the complete destruction of the Patterson machine. To get rid of Patterson these Democrats have got to the point where they are desperate and have employed desperate means. In talking one day to one of the Independent Democratic lenders and campaigners in east Tennessee, I rather vaguely suggested that rumors were afloat to the effect that She Republicans were be ing encouraged to vote with the antiPnttersou men by the hope of electing a Republican governor. I did not want to come right out with it, fearing that such a thing as a deal with Republicans was of too defecate a nature for n campaign manager to admit, or even to discuss. "Oh. we make no bones of it." he declared, suddenly, as he saw how delicately I was trying to broach the subject. "We have told the Republicans that if they will help us defeat Patterson's judges and not put up any Repuolicutis for judges we would not nominate in independent Democrat for governor." If that .agreement is adhered to 4?y the Independent Democrats, (here will beyond all question be a Republican governor of Tennessee next time. It is not at all certain, however, thai there will be no Independent Democrat nominated for governor. Those men In east Tennessee are willing to carry out their agreement to the letter, but there is a strong disposition in middle and west Tennessee to nominate a Democrat against Patterson, not indeed with any ideo of electing him. for Ihey, too, aro willing for the Republican to be elected, but because they know full well that there are a large number of Democrats who will not under any circumstances vote for a Republican. The fear is that unless there is another Democrat running Patterson will he able to get these votes by his powerful appeal to partisanship. The strictly partizau Democrats, who are Democrats on prejudice rather than on principle, but whose prejudices ore strong also against Patterson, will have another Democrat to vote for. They will be "assistaut Republicans," though, if voting for a Republican for gove-nor against Patterson cons'itutes being a Republican. It ?s a subterfuge, and these men who propose doing it admit that it is, but. rs 1 liave said, they are taking desperate means to get rid of Patterson. The anti-Patterson men had entire charge of the election machinery in this election. Heretofore Patterson has had all the machinery in his own hands The anti-Patterson men have always declared that Patterson cover fairly defeated Cnrmack two years ago, but that he was counteo in. Whet'iei this be true or not. there was a majority of anti-Patterson Democrats in the legislature, whic.li majority was extended bv a coalition with Republicans into enough to '-ass the new election law over the go ?ruors veto. Ily this row ?a\v *he legls<iiii o selected the UoctRn commissioners, and anti-Pr tterson men were appointed.

AWAKENING NEEDED PAY9AN WRITES INTERESTINGLY ABOUT TAXES. Kays There Are Manx People Who Know Nothing of What They Pay in Tariffs. Editor of The State: Is it not : usstng strange, that an issue which is paramount to all other economic issnes should be ob Hfureu hiiu Kepi in me uacKgrouuu aB the tariff has been? How man/ men of even average intelligence know what a tariff is. what a revenue tariff is, what a protective tariff is, and what is the difference between a protective, and a revenue tariff? Should we not be ashamed to admit that we do not "know what taxes we pay, or understand our national fiscal system? How many men know that every time they purchase goods they pay taxes? Hut this is an indirect tax and is not recognized or realized Hut it is a tax nevertheless, and a very heavy one at that, and to which State, county and municipal taxes are a mere drop in a bucket in comparison. Will the people ever throw off this incubus? No! Never, until they are educated as to what it means. Aside from Christianity, what concerns man most in this sublunary world? Ways and means of improving our conditions, making a good comfortable living, and the education of our children. The shortest, quickest and most direct cut to this goal .s what every natural man is seeking to find out and striving for every day. This is not only his natural right and privilege, but is his bounden duty. Whatever unjustly Interferes with this right, whatever detracts from or impairs the means to this end, it is man's privilege, right and duty to remove, if possible. An unnecessary fax is an unnecessary burden, and unjust interference with man's Godgiven right tc improve his condition, his efforts to make a living, to educate his children, his comforts, civilization, iu fact everything which makes life worth living. The so-called protective tariff contributes nioie to tlie high cost of living, it does more to retard the improvement ana material growtli of uur country than any other factor, and perhaps more than all other agencies combined Ueyond a revenue tariff, all tariffs are robbery, robbery of the many for the few, making colossal vealth for some by taking away from others. If a dozen men have a million of bricks between them, taking any number from what each possesses, and giving them to some of the others, it does not make the aggregate number of bricks any greater, but does reduce the aggregate number of thos? from whom they were taken. '.VIr. Lever may plaster hts vote on lumber as muck as he pleases, but that does not change the effect which the duty will have ou the price of lumber. He says the duty which he voted for will not affect the price of lumber in the South. If putting a duty on lumber does not increase the price down here i.oes not Mr. Lever know that the consumers will turn away from Canadian lumber and purchase in the South? In that event there would be no use of the duty. Yet he insistently says the duty will put three millions of dollars in the treasury. iu mi urs xne consumers must purchase enough from Canada to make the revenue from importation three millions, which they would not do If they could got it cheaper in the South. It is estimated that to raise three millions of revenue, the consumers must pay one hundred millions more for their product I than they otherwise would have to pay. Would that some abler pen would arouse the people to see the tariff as it is, and cause then to agitate, and educate until it is reduced to a revenue basis alone Paysan. Orangeburg. July 29th, 19 10.

FATAL WRECK ' , i Ptssaiger Train ii California Strock by a Special Engine THIRTEEN ARE KILLED And Thirteen Are Wounded.?A lk*lPirnf inn of \flon VVnu nn #!%<* Train.?The Dbuuiter Occurred on a Sharp Curve.??'The Smoking Car Suffered Most. Thirteen passengers were killed and at least twelve were injured on Monday night when a passenger train bound from San Francisco to Santa Rosa on the Northewestern Pacific railway was struck by a special locomotive and caboose south of Igaaclo, California. M?.st of those injured were riding In the smoking car. They were residents of Petaluma, Santa Rosa and other nearby towns. Several It Is reported were delegates to Lhe state convention of Red Men, which meets at Santa Rosa. The wreck occurred at a sharp curve. The passenger train was traveling forty miles an hour and the locomotive and caboose were also going at good speed. At the office of the train dispatcher it was said that one of the conductors had made a mistake in his orders and failed to take a siding. Just before the collision the passengers were jerked forward by the setting ol the brakes. Then there came a terrific impact and the sound of escaping steam. The two engines cashed into each other. The baggage car and the smoking car were telescoped. When the dazed passengers made their way out of the rear coaches unharmed, they heard the shrieks and groans of the injured. The 30 passengers in the smoking car were caught among broken seats and splintered timbers, and those who were not killed were unable to help themselves. A few men made their way to the forward end of the smoking car where the greatest damage had been done. Kflorts to open windows or remove broken timbers were fruitless. Work on the rear half of the smoker was easier. Some of the rescuers scattered to nearby houses to telephone for help, while others sought to get the injured out of the wreck. A headless corpse was found lying by the side of the track. Another body wn8 found in a sitting josition in a window of the smoker. The engines met with such force that the engine of the work train, which consisted of a caboose and two light fiat cars, shunted the pas senger engine to one side and plowed part of the way through the baggage car causing the baggage car and smoker to telescope. Relief trains were rushed from both ends of the line to the scene of the wreck. Some of the dead were brought to San Rafael and some to Santa Rosa. The injured were taken in various directions, making the list of names difficult to obtain. At midnight there were bodies still in the w reckage. TOO MANY FOR HIM. Driven From lli.s Ship by Herds of Mosquitoes. Driven from his ship by the attacks of mosquito hordes at a lumber camp in the Everglades Monday, Capt. Graham I.owe, of the schooner Emerald, made a 4fi hour journey to Key West, Fla., without food or water and eighteen hours were spent in desperately clinging to the bottom of a little "dinkey," in which the eventful trip was made. The "dinkev" was overturned by a sud den squall and on several occasions Cnpt. Lowe was hurled from the vessel by the waves. He managed to reach shallow water, however, righted Mie little vessel, and completed the sixty-mile trip late Wednesday. An expedition will be sent after the crew ot' the vessel, six negroes who refused to leave the swamp when the mosquitoes drove the captain away. WADF TO Til 101 It IIKATH.
