Al OPTION DEMOCRATS.
In Texas the issue is between
local op ionists and state-wide
Prohibit., mists, and issue will be
squarely presented to the Demo-
crats of Texas on July 25.
Those who are for local self-
govern ' nt will vote for the lo-
cal op J on amendment; those
who are opposed to the principle
of local self government will vote
for the prohibition amendment.
There are thousands of local op-
tionists who do not believe in
state-wide prohibition. Take
Tennessee, for instance.
There are ninety counties in
Tennessee, and eighty-seven of
these counties dry. Memphis,
Nashville and Chattonooga li-
cense the sale of liquor. In the
late campaign Patterson repre-
sented the local option principle
and Carmack the anti-local op-
tion principle., Patterson the
home rule candidate, carried fif-
ty counties; Carmack, the state
wide apostle, forty counties.
Outside the cities of Memphis,
Chattanooga and Nashville Pat-
terson has a majority of the
popular vote. The returns show
a majority of the Democrats of
Tennessee cling to the Jefferson-
ian idea of local self-government,
and they cast their ballots for
Patterson, the man that stood
like a stone wall in defense of
the right of each county, or com-
munity, to rule it internal affairs.
It was a battle of giants, as
Carmack is one of the most elo-
quent orators the South knows
today, a terrible antagonist in
joint debate, a consummate act#r
and a man who knows best of
all how to play upon the sympa-
thies and the prejudices of an
audience.
He had the backing of the W.
C. T. U., the Anti-Sa'oon League
many newspapers and a battle-
line of preachers which reached
from the North Carolina an i
Virginia borderland to the Ark-
ansas glades and Mississippi
swamps. Rev. Mr. Folk, a
brother of Governor Folk of
Missouri, led the pulpit brigade
of spell-binders and the South
has never known such a political
contest as these friends and fol-
lowers of Edward W. Carmack
pulled off in old Tennesee.
"The Red Wolf" was slain-—
the principle of local self-govern-
ment proved to be dear to the
hearts of the Democrats of Ten-
nessee. Local option Democrats
living in the dry counties of the
State defeated Carmack, and
state wide prohibition and de-
clared by their vote that the
Local Option idea is the Demo-
cratic idea to-day, as Patterson
said it was in the days of Jeffer-
son, Jacksen and Monroe. —

Wedding Belli.
A pretty home wedding was
solemnized at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. McLain at 10:30
o'clock Sunday morning. The
contracting parties were Mrs.
Sallie Owens and Mr. Charlie D.
Shaw. Rev. Zoro B. Pirtle was
the officiating clergyman who
tied the nuptial knot pronouncing
the ceremony which united the
lives of these estimable young
people of our little city. The
wedding was a quiet one witness-
ed only by the immediate rela-
tives of the bride and groom and
a few intimate friends.
The bride was becomingly at-
tired in a beautiful light blue
dress and looked the very queen
that her life characterizes her to
be. The groom wore the con-
ventional black. After congrat-
.
ulations the bride and groom
left for the residence of Dr. and
Mrs. Pope where dinner was
served. The afternoon was
pleasantly passod at the home of
the grooms parents.
They received a large number
of handsome and valuable gifts.
The News join their many
friends in congratulations and
best wishes as they embark on
life's rugged voyage together.
