What TO Go with IL.

Maury County has remarkably fer
tile soil. Search the entire South and
a more desirable county county cannot
be found. Before the war this fertility
brought wealth TO the people in the
shape of negroes and fine stock. The
war entirely destroyed both these, and
only the land was left the people, and
in the short space of four years they
are again on the road to prosperity.
The abolition of slavery did away with
Incidence and the credit system, and
begat spirit of diligence and economy
There is probably now a million OF dol
lars i'm the county, doing nothing and
doing no good to tie county or the
owners. A million of dollars in the
county and not single enterprise in
progress calculated to promote the pros
perity of the county. Not cotton mill
to manufacture the ten or fifteen thou
sand bales of cotton grown in the coun-
Nv. Thousands of bushels of wheat are
sent away yearly, when they ought to
be converted into -four here, and every
species of enterprise are inviting CAPT
tai. All we need to make Maury the
wealthiest county i'm the South is to
properly invest what money there is in
the county.

The Jonesboro Flag says there are
twenty incorrigible bachelors in that
place.
There is to be literary society and
a public library in Bolivar.
The Bolivar Bulletin says:-Last
Saturday the usually quiet town of
Lagrange was the scene of a most ter
rible and bloody fight between a man
named Witherspoon, formerly mer-
chant of that place. and a countryman
named King. The difficulty grew out
of an old business matter and was ag-
gravated by mean whisky on both sides.
King, after being shot through the lungs
and ARMAND he received every shot
while facing his implacable foe-forced
Witherspoon into store, knocked him
down with his pistol which had failed
fire five times, and beat his head until
lite was thought to be extinct. The
last shot fired byWitherspoon accident
ally wounded young man named
Branchford i'm one of his legs. The
fight is said to have been one of the
most desperate that has ever occurred in
the place, or even i'm the District. 1t
is thought that neither King nor With
erspoon can possibly survive their
frightful wounds.

THE STATE DEBT.
No More Aid to Railroads -RepudiatiOn
Of Certain Bonds Suggested.
From the Paris InteIligencer;

From the Paris Intelligencer:
Unless the most rigid return to econ
Omy by the incoming legislature of
this State in the entire administration
of its affairs, the Acknowledgement of the
people will 60 shorn of half its advan-
tages. For what boots it, that the
people can all vote, if they are to be
made slaves, all by memorable debt.
Debt too that is brought ON through
extravaganza, favoritism and special
and class legislation. The people-for
it is the people for once that has really
triumphed-demand of their represen-
tative servants most emphatically that
the pruning knife beapplied merciIessly
unsparing. We suggested in our last
issue several points that stand forth
prominently demanding prompt action.
We propose now to only refer to two
ideas.
First, if it should become part ofthe
organic law of the State land the con-
ventioD should see to il, that no State
aid by the loan of its credit should be
given to any railroad corporation. In
the mean time the next Legislature
strictly avoid yielding to the high
pressure which any company may
bring to bear upon it for the purpose.
There must be a stopping point, and
that point is now.
Next, we incline to the opinion that
the people of Tennessee without being
allowed to vote even for the miserable
scalawags who have pretended to act
as legislators, have been taxed Consid-
erably more than was necessary to
meet all the legitimate wants and ex-
penses of the State government. Many
millions of dollars worth of State
bonds have been issued for the most
outrageous purposes some, it is intima-
ted, have been frauduently issued by
stealth-while very many have been
issued for the benefit of the rings. Now
as the situation in Tennessee has been
well known to the civilized world, and
more especially have the lynx-eyed
money Shylocks who hold most of
| these bonds, known how down-trodden
and oppressed the reople have been
| how that the negroes and few whites
voted the taxes but paid scarcely any,
while the DISTINGUISHED paid nearly the
entire taxation of the State-we say
| under the peculiarly unjust, unright-
eous and despotic manner i'm which
| this public debt of Tennessee, created
by self-created legislatures since the
organization of the present State gov
| eminent, that we do not feel i'm honor
pound to pay it or at least portion of
it. We would pay no bond that has
been issued that the people of the State
has not received the entire benefit of
| the proceeds for which it was sold.
Upon that platform we Standard

A man named John Carter was ar
rested in Murfresboro, Tenn, last week,
and committed to Jail on the charge OF
attempting to organize a band of rob-
beers and murderers in that region. Car
ter is from Indiana, but has resided in
the neighborhood of Smyrna for some
years. He represented himself as a
Methodist preacher, and has heretofore
borne good character. Much excite
ment prevailed during his examination,
and at one time it was believed hs
would be lynched.

Meeting OF the Legislature.

A quorum of the new Legislature
were present last Monday at the Capt.
tai and Speakers for both houses elect
ed. In the Senate, Judge HENEY
COOPER, who was supposed to he one
of the leading candidates for the Speak
ership, nominated Hon. DoRsAY Is.
THOMAS for Speaker, and he was elect
ed without a dissenting vote. In the
House, Hon. w. ON. PERKINS, of this
Pictorial District, was elected Speaker.
The unanimity and quiet which char
acterized these elections, will be greet
ed with joy and gratitude by the peo-
nile. whose sole desire is to enjoy that
neace which has so long been denied
them. During nine long years they
have not known that calm repose and
confidence which comes from security
and peace their minds alternating be-
tween a distension to the highest pitch
and that dreading, uncertain state
whic., knows no rest. Now it is lux
ury. doubly sweet because so long de-
layed, to be at perfect rest, and trust in
the prudence and wisdom of our rulers.
A people who battled long and stead
fastly solely for the object of self-preser-
walton, are not apt to be guided by are
vengeful spirit, after the great end is
accomplished; and the people ask and
expect that the Legislature, their SER
wants, will do nothing that will tend
TO re-awaken strife and wrangling in
the land. And they will not be disap-
pointed. That body numbers among
it's members men whose legal training
and statesmanlike ability is only sec
ond to their love of peace and constitu-
tional liberty, and the suspicious open
ing of the session in the election to the
highest offices in the Legislature of two
men devoted to conservatism, indicates
that wisdom rules the hour.
GEO. HOWARD, was elected Chief
Clerk of the Senate. NEIL S. BROWN,
Jr., was elected Chief Clerk of the
House.
On Tuesday the Senate met, only
one member absent, and elected, after
some preliminary discussion, HENRY
BLACKBURN, of DeKalb county, Door
keeper. WIN. MCCALL, after consider
able balloting, was chosen Assistant
Doorkeeper. The House was notified
that the Senate was ready for the trans
action of business, and the rules of order
and government of the Senate Of 1867
were adopted as the rules and regula-
tions for the government of the present
Senate.
In the House OH Tuesday so men,
hers were present. NEIL s. BROWN,
Jr newly elected Clerk, was sworn i'm,
and #. H. REEVES, of Washington
county, was elected First Assistant
Clerk on the fourth ballot. The House
proceeding to the election of Engross-
inc Clerk, w. B. WILSON nominated
A M. HUGHES, Jr., of Maury county,
who received a strong vote during 10
ballots. J. d. SLOWER, Of McMinn,
was elected. The House being invited
to attend the Montgomery County Fair,
being held this week, accepted the in
vitation.
ON Wednesday A. Eos. FLEMING, Of
Hardsman, was elected Doorkeeper OF

Sam. H. Jones, recently elected to
the lower house of the Legislature from
Shelby County, was born on the LIST
day of April, 1924, in Maury County
Tennessee. In 1861 he moved to the
county now represented by him. Pre-
vious to his removal from the county
of Maury, he was elected and served
four years as Sheriff of that county,
although a Wing, and with heavy
Democratic majority to overcome.
Since his residence in Shelby he has
been engaged in farming. Previous to
the war he belonged to the Wing
party, and voted respectively for Fos-
ter, Brown, Campbell, Henry, Gentry,
Hatton, Netherland, Taylor, Scott,
Fillmore and Bell. Since the war he
has supported Etheridge for Governor,
Seymour and Blair for President and
Vice-president, and in the recent elec-
t'on supported Governor Senter.

ton of another man, Mr.. NICHOLSON,

spirit of revenge and hatred exhibited
by our correspondent against the Elk

WIRE CLOTHES LINES.
IL ATENT METALLIC
WHITE WIRE
Clothes Lines.

Being manufactured in such manner, with o
white metallic substance, it is prevented from
ever corroding or changing from its beautiful
white color, in any number Of yeas OF time.
1t is neither affected by different temperature Of
climate, nor by changes of atmosphere, and
firmly holds its uniform color through the Sc
verest frost and Indictment weather. By exper-
iment, the utility of the line has been found the
only article which is free from the great an
noyance occurring from the old fashioned Rope
lines, which are continually rotting and break
ing down, sOiling and discoloring clothes. BY
using the wire clothes line all trouble is avoid
ed, as you are never obliged to take them
down after they are put up as they can be left
out in all sorts of weather.
The durability of the line is one Of the great
est considerations, as it will last from thirty to
fifty years.
Another chief advantage OF this line is that
clothes will not freeze to il in cold weather, nor
will vt break and let your clothes fall in the
mud. Warranted not to injure clothes in any
manner.
