Nashville, Tenn., May 25.— Democrats from all over Tennes see are holding a convention in this city today, which will last over tomorrow, for the adoption the back of one blooded horse and leading another, is highly credita ble to those who have traveled in the “land of the greasers." The Mexican women have often given this poison to their lovers out of jealousy. This herb, if neen, or toloachi, and the plants spread in many slightly different species almost all over.the earth. It is our Jimson weed. The Hindoo wo men used it for the same purpose as their Mexican sisters, to cause their lovers to lose their minds. Hindoo robbers mix it in candy and give it by some tricks to the inmates of the house. The eaters of the candy are thrown into deep sleep, under cover of which the burglars loot. Toloachi is a low-growing plant with white flowers and curious seed vessels projecting much like the horns of a steer. The seeds are pounded and mixed in the to bacco of a cigarette. Usually me lancholy idocy and slumber are induced, but sometimes there is violent madness and even quick death. It has been used by Mex ican men to kill a rival. Toloashi must not be confused with maringuana, of which Mex icans are so fond that they form clubs to smoke it. The Rio Grande border authorities are ac tive in checking the use of mari- guana for it often arouses the beast passion and leads to lust and bloodshed. That there are other dangers than bullets in Mexico, Stonewall Jackson learned in the Mexican war, according to the account of Lieutenant Colonel Henderson Jackson fell beneath the charm of a Mexican beauty. “Who the magnet was he nev er confessed; but that he went near to losing his heart to some charming senorita he more than once acknowledged, and he took much trouble to appear to ad vantage in her eyes • • • • • He not only learned to dance, an ac complishment which must have taxed his perseverance to the ut most, but he speut some months in learning Spanish; and it is signi ficant that to the end of his life he retained copius vocabulary of those tender diminutives which fall so gracefully from Spanish lips."

But this as a grave injustice to perhaps the most efficient man in the ur- If Wotherspoon sits armed chair, there is a telephone prominence in the District of Co lumbia. A naval officer told him one day he had made a mistake— he could never become a general or an admiral by entering the vice that way. Wotherspoon, fired with war like spirit, pondered this and fi nally saw the ligh£ He must go to West Point or Annapolis. The Naval officer secured an appoint ment at the Army Academy for the energetic young sailor and in 1837 the “three W’s" graduated. The only charge that could be brought against him by Senator Bristow when opposing his eleva tion over Funston, Bliss and Per shing was that he had depended upon personal popularity rather than actual fighting for Ills rank. But Bristow was forced to admit him a splendid administrator. He had been a member of the general staff since its creation. He was for a time War College head. In the War College officers are trained strategy. Wotherspoon is regarded as a high authority on infantry tactics. He is a man of great force and intellect. He must retire in November of this year by the operation of the age limit law despite he is in the most enviable health and posi tively blooming. If there’s a scrap on along the Rio Grande, however, it’s a good guess his fine old clockwork brain will stay right where it is. Here is a remedy that will cure your cold.

It is generally understood that the resignation of Mr. Cox, known as an experienced road builder, came directly as u result of the overhearing attitude of Chairman J. K. Wadley, of the county com mission. It is freely known that although the commission whole is supposed to he in charge of the county affairs that one man rule has developed and that or ders issued are changed so fre quently and so much hutting in done that no work can he aceom- plished to any degree of satisfac tion. That the trouble in the hand ling of county affairs is not due entirely to the chairman and that the clerk, who was elected the first of the year, has had a habit of meddling is one of the charges made, and it comes from nn au thentic source that one employee at the convict comp has been re tained with his iinworthiiiess ap parent , merely to have^ reports carried to the clerk, who in turn took the information to Chairman Wadley. Mr. Cox came to Ware county from Statesboro, and before go ing to work here had 13 years ex perience as a road builder. But he saw within a few days, accord ing to his statement, that affairs were not as they should be, aud found friction from the start.

There have been several news paper reports recently telling of or hinting at various secret con ferences which hnvo been held between Dorsey and Watson, and the color of Mr. Watson’s own ed itorials recently in his Jeffersoni an are held by some to justify the belief that his is ready to peel off iiis coat for the Atlanta solici tor general. Only a few days ago the At lanta Constitution in a story tell ing of the proceedings of the pro gressive party quoted one of the delegates who wished to postpone action on certain things until Hugh Dorsey could ho heard from as to whether he would accept a nomination for governor from that party.
