The Banner OF Wednesday says: Sup
to this time, warrants have been drawn
upon the State Treasury to the amSunt
of S55 600 to pay the little ineidentsls
connected with the organization Of the
militia force. This does not include the
sum total, not to say asything about the
demand which will be made on the trUs-
tees Of the several counties where these
loyal protectors have been quartered In
the formation OF these patriots into COM
panies and battalions, and furnishing the
necessary amount Of blankets and pro-
visions TO put them in fighting trim, an
expenditure had to be made, and the
wheels of the loyal machine were creased
to the tune of S55, 900. When the Leg
islature adjourned there was not dollar
left in the treasury, and at the present
writing the balance on hand is not more
than sufficient to pay for several boot
blacks at the lowest market price. Still
the loyal guard has TO be kept up wheth-
er the treasury be bankrupt or not.
or the S55 900 ordered to be paid out,
only $500 have been drawn from the
treasury simply because it was not on
hand to be drawn. Where the balance
will come from, time only car tell. In
the meantime those who have furnished
the supplies are calling for money, and
show some little unesslDess for fear of re-
pudistiOn. On this score, however, they
need not be alarmed. The money viii
be raised by taxation if it takes the last
dollar from every widow in the State.
In few days the Treasurer expects TO
have on hand the necessary amount of
Confederate money which he will pay
out Just to show tBat his intentions are
good, and that he is disposed to honor
drafts when presented. This currency of
the late $50 called will be endorsed by
him and redeemed in the usual course OF
time. This part OF the programme is
confidential, and must not be reported.
Brokers, however, are advised not to buy
up the shinsplasters Of the late ConfCd.
on speculation.

outrages of the mli,Ia At PuIasIki.

A special dispatch to the Nashville
Banner, dated Pulaski, March Is b,
says: Two men, dressed in blue uniforms,
and supposed to be milItiamen, went to
the house of an old man by the name Of
Daniel Alternately, last night, knocked
of tke door and were admitted. When
they got inside they demanded of the
old man his money. Upon his refusing
to give it up, they tied bride rein
about his neck, threatening to hang
him, and dragged him across the floor.
A young lady in the house had all of
Mr.. Abernathy's money about her per-
SOP. He told her to give it up to the
ruffians. She declined for awhile. They
then threatened TO lock her up in another
room, and take it from her by force. She
gave them about twenty dollars and they
left. Efforts are being made to detect
them.
A squad Of militia also went to the
house of Mr.. Marks, about seven miles
from town, last night, and tried to gain
admission, but were driven off by some
young men.

The Franklin ReUjelO says: We learn
from MIR. James Reed, an experienced
coal man, that the prospects of obtaining
coal near the Fleming farm in this
county, about eight miles from this place,
are very Il altering. He says that he has
already gone through two strstas of coal
as fine as any in Pennsylvania, and that
there is no doubt that the bed of coal is
not very far from the last strata. II this
enterprise should be a success, it will be
worth millions to our people. We hope

NAsuvILLE. March IS. ls5g

NASHVILLE March 1917.
Intriguing among the Radicals for the
Governorship OF Tennessee, which set in
as far back as last fall, is becoming more
and more complicated and intense.
Gov. Senter, the present incumbent,
who succeeded Gov. BrOwnlow by right
of the Office OF Speaker of the Senate
which he held, is said by those who pro-
fess to understand the mysteries of the
inner circle to be assiduously plotting for
the Radical nomination. Under the ex-
isting franchise law, the Governor in
possession is enabled to control the vote
of every county in the State. He has
the appointment OF all the registrars !;
these registrars decide who shall vote
and who shall not vote and If they
should Dnake mistake in the registra-
ton Of picked voters, the Governor has
still authority to annul their action and
to throw out of the bSllOt-box as many
votes and as many counties as he pleases.
Gov. Senter seems to understand the
advantages of his position perfectly, and
is making them serve his purposes with
q total disregard OF the wishes and inter-
ests of bis party.
The favorite of the Radicals is Gen.
w. B. Stokes. BE is looked upon as the
| natural successor Of Brownlow, who is
said to have formally beqaeathed him
his blessing and his mantle before he set
] out for Washington. Stokes is rs earnest

iaIO the Cumberland.
Yesterday morning about o'clock,
says the Union and american, while the
draw was open for the passage Of 3
steamboat, an unknown man coming
across from the Edgefield side, walked
deliberately Off into the river. The per-
sOns who operate the draw saw the man
approaching, but thought nothing of it,
as people ofsen come up to the end and
wait until the draw is swung back. Be-
fore they could give any warning, how
ever, the individual had stepped off into
the abyss, fifty feet down to the Cumber-
land. He screamed loudly for help for
perhaps minute, when, no help being
at hand-bOats there were nODe-hls
voice became fainter, and was st last
st!fled as the unfortunate wretch sank
to rise no more. After diligent inquiry
we have failed to learn who the inCigid-
ual may have been. II is thought that
he must have been under the influence
of liquor. The body has not been re-
covered.

The superior organization and great extent
OF the COmpsDy's Works at Waltham enable

AN IMMENSE PEACH ORCHARD. A cor
respondent of the New York Express
writes from village called Ridgeway,
midway between WILMINGTON and Wei
don, N. c.. and gives the following de-
scription of on immense peach orchard: ::
But the great feature of the picture is
a peach orchard of 250,000 trees, occu.
pying $500 acres OF land. An idea of its
magnitude may perhaps be better shown
by the statement that if the acres
were in row, they would extend to the
distance of 100 miles, and that if the
trees themselves were in q row would
extend to the distance Of 900 miles.
In the season for gathering, at only
one basket per tree per day, there must
be on the ground every day supply of
$50, 900 baskets. AS the peaches pulled
to-day are to be in New York tomorrow
for this can bet is easy to conceive
the army of gatherers necessary to fill the
baskets and place them upon the cars

The Cuban patriots, we are told, have
been doubly blessed this summer. They
prayed for the appearance of yellow fe-
yer to thin the Spanish ranks, and have
not only received that, but the cholera
in addition. A correspondent of the
New York Times says: "The cholera has
broken out with incredible force among
the troops at Nuevitas and other points
on the coast, and is already marching
with fearful strides toward the interior.
The Havana journals keep this fact Sc
cret. At q meeting of the Board Of
Health yesterday June 13) it was re-
solved to allow the steamers Triuufo and
Pajaro to land their passengers and
freight, without subjecting them to qua
rantine, or even to fumigation; but it
was resolved to fumigate all vessels ar
irving after date. TO give yon m idea
OF the strength of the cholera, merely
cite two instances. Seven Cubans cap
tured Spanish lieutenant and ten men,
who had gone on a hunting expedition
near Nuevitas. and were leading them to
an insurgent encampment. They rested
during the night near Altamisal. In the
morning, only one Spanish soldier was
alive, the other ten having died during
the night. The second case is that of
the family of Spanish officer in Nuevi-
tas; his wife, two children and servant
died within three hours. The Cubans
were not wrong when they relied on the
yellow fever to thin the ranks of the Spa
niards; but they did not calculate that
cholera would also make its appearance.
The Spaniards lose fearfully, but 1T is
equally certain that the mortality among
the Cubans is very great, although it is
impossible to obtain reliable figures"
