The old members of the County Dem ocratic Executive Committee met with the newly elected members last Monday and proceeded with the organization The party pledge was administered to the new members. This occasioned some dissatisfaction for the reason that the independent members objected to being tied to the Democratic ticket all the way through and one gentleman declined to answer. He was, however, allowed to sit as a member of the com mittee, there being no objection. J. L. Fry was elected chairman and . J. Green secretary, and the organl zation being disposed of the following resolution was offered by Mr. John White and carried by a vote of seven to five, three members not voting. Only one member, Mr. Tucker, of Number Twelve, was absent. The resolution reads thus: Bo it resolved by the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Obion County, Tennessee, tbat we recognize 'the im , portance of Democratic organization at this time to defeat Republicans in Ten nessee. . , Therefore be it resolved, That it is the sense of this committee tbat a Central Campaign Committee be appointed by the County Executive Committee, asso ciated with the chairman of this com mittee, to take charge of this campaign and manage the same from Governor down to County Representative. We recommend the following Demo crats for said position: T. J. Bonner, F. J. Smith, P. D. Hornbeak and D. T. Caldwell. ' Be it further resolved, That it is the sense of your county executive com mittee that Tom Rye Democrat Clubs be formed in every civil district in Obion County. There were some objections to the resolution from the independent wing of the committee, but Mr. Green made a few remarks referring to the fact tbat it is always the custom to take some ac tion in regard to plans for a Democratic campaign in the county, and it could not be done otherwise than by some expression from the committee. After adjournment it is understood that Dr. Matlock tendered his resigna tion in favor 'of Mr. Sam Finch and tbat the chairman appointed Mr. Finch to act until the committee meets and elects a successor. It is said that other independent members were considering the same action. The following compose the new conv mittee: District No. 1, Ollie Weaks; No. 2, J. C. Isbell; No. 3, R. Switzer; No. 4, C.

Possibly not within the history of this city has there been so many prominent Masons gathered here as has been the past week. The occasion was the exem plification of the degrees of Capitular Masonry for Union City Chapter No. 132, R. A. M. On Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. the work began when the degree of Mark Master was conferred, closing the Con' vocation with a beautiful exemphhea tion of the Royal Arch Degree on Thurs day evening. The following visitors from a distance were in attendance, who took prominent parts in the work: Charles M. Hunt, Grand High Priest of Tennessee, Grand Junction; John B. Garrett, Past Grand High Priest and Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter of Tennessee; Fred C. Watkins, Past Grand High Priest, Dversbure: Dr. Daniel B. Blake and Stith Cain, Past High Priests, Nash ville; and a large representation from the local and other Chapters in Obion County. The meeting was a great success and will no doubt give greatencouragement to Capitular Masonry in this section. Many of the visitors were delightfully entertained at 6 o'clock dinner by Dr. and Mrs. T. E. Marshall at their ele gant country home. On Friday night Union City Lodge No. 533 was officially visited by our fellow countian, M. W. Thomas J. Bonner, Grand Master of Tennessee Freemasons. The Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge, Mr. John B. Garrett, was also present. The Master Masons Degree was con- ferrd by the working team of the Lodge, who showed great proficiency in their work and was highly commended by the Grand Master and others who were present. A banquet was served after the work of the evening had been com The Grand Master visited Tyre Lodge No 587 on Saturday morning, when the Grand Secretary delivered a very in teresting lecture on the esoterics of Freemasonry. At night a meeting of great importance to the craft was held at Rives, the home of the Grand Master. Much interest was manifested by the members present. ; No doubt these visits from the Grand Master will create new zeal and much enthusiasm in the order in this county. The local Masons enjoyed a great treat and arrangements are in progress for a greater meeting in the very near future. Union City always extends a glad hand to its visitors and it is hoped that they will come again. Free Masonry. On Wednesday, the 2d of the month, Union City Chapter, No. 132, Royal Arch Masons, was called for the pur pose of conferring the degrees on t number of crndidates, among whom were J. L. Glover, Sr., Mose Glover, Jack Hubbs, Whitesell Harpole, C. C, Conn and J. E. Stuart. We had with us at this meeting some of the Brand officers of the State, to- wit: John B. Garrett, Grand Secretary, Nashville; C. M. Hunt, Grand High Priest, Grand Junction, Tenn.; F. C. Watkins, Inspector for this jurisdiction, Dyersburg; also Dr. D. B. Blake and S. M. Cain. Nashville, Tenn., who are very noted members of this institution These brethren superintended, and took part in conferring these degrees on the parties above named, who were well pleased and delighted with the excellent manner in which they were conferred The work was concluded on Thursday ight by conferring the August Degree of Royal Arch Mason. Grand, Secretary Garrett was joined on Friday night by the Grand Master, T. J. Bonner, at a session of the Blue Lodge, or Master Mason Lodge, at this place, at which time we conferred the Fellowcraft degree on Phil Hyman, our our WorshiDful Master. Ernest All- mond, officiating. The work was ap proved and complimented by our grand officers. At the conclusion of the work we partook of barbecued lamb, hot cof fee, and other things which naturally creep into a man's mind when he gets hungry. As we had a full attendance and many visitors from neighboring lodges, speeches were now in order, and we not nly had some choice remarks from our grand officers, but we heard from a number of our home talent. With all this and a grand good time for everyone present, we closed with a tacit understanding that some of us should accompany Grand Master T. J. Bonner and Grand Secretary Garrett to yre Lodge, No. 587 (located at Crystal), A. COBLE EiNLOE CHILES JOE ROGERS DAN GLENN A. B. COBLE A f Union City, Tenn. on the following day (Saturday). We had the pleasure of f ulfillibg this agree ment and conferred the Fellowcraft de gree on Bascom Isbell, which was done in a most impressive manner. Many lodges were represented at .this meet ing. At the noon hour we were servedl with baked fish and as many other choice selections of food as any sound stomach could digest. We think a first class cooking school would have been ashamed of themselves had they been permitted to partake of these dainties. This is one of the facts among many that reminds us tbat although the good women are not active members oi tuis Great Institution, yet it would be a fail ure without their co-operation, and we feel that the Ancient Hidden Mysteries of Free Masonry, is much revived in these parts. - T. E. Marshall. Mr, Rice Ross. A Confederate veteran and one of the best citizens of the good old days was Mr. Rice Ross, whose death occurred on the 2d inst. Mr. Ross was 68 years of age and over.

When the nations of the earth are at peace with each other and there are no wars to threaten the consumption ; of the coal output, it is regarded as econ omy for everybody to purchase during the summer season tneir winter Buppiy of coal, and now it is much more im portant that this be done, as there is an increased demand for American coal in this country and abroad. There will probably be increased de mand for American coal in South Amer ica, as well as for the belligerant coun- tries, for Great Britain nas Deen snip ping annually ntSS than 6,000,000 tons, while this country has been ship ping only 250,000 tons, and now since England's shipment must cease, tne coal mines of America wui be looked to for the supply.
