WE like the tone of the Tennessee
press. With few exceptions, the pa
pers urge the claims of their respect
i've favorites for Office with becoming
modesty, and with becoming wisdom
forbear all attempts to detract from
the merits Of those they happen not
to prefer. This indicates commend
able desire for harmony, upon the
preservation of which success so ma
terially depends. We hope to see the
same spirit manifested throughout
the impending canvass, and could it
prevail always it would add greatly
to the dignity and usefulness of the
press.

If it be true that the Edgefeld &
Henderson Railroad Company are
seeking a Southern outlet, and are
backed by Northern capital, it will
not, we think, be difficult to convince
such capital that there Is a better and
cheaper route than that from Hop
kinsville to Jackson. A connection
with the Louisville and GAINESVILLE,
at, or near this place, and a diver
gence from this line, at a point be-
low here, and then direct to Corinth,
will open up larger Southern trade
and at less cost than any other route
not already preoccupied. The coun-
try between this and Hopkinsville,
is exceedingly fertile, and the coal
trade between that point and the iron
region through which the proposed
road will pass, must he very consider
able, and at Corinth, n connection
will he established with all sections
of the South.

SEWING TURNIPs.-This is pro-
gressive age, and those planters and
farmers who allow themselves to fall
in the rear Of the march of improve
ment, must be content with very
small pecuniary reward. Shew us
the record, and let US have no more
guess farmers. Under the old process
of fertilizing, Beet Roots, yield 1892
lbs. per acre. New process, with
chemical manures, 62,340 lbs. per
acre.
Turnips, an English writer says, Is
the crop of all crops, in which the adj
vantages of modern science, In con-
nection with farming, have been,most
conspicuous. The turnip is our chief
cornerstone that provides food for
the fiocks, and bread and meat for the
people. 1t is the best crop for cleans
ing the land, and fits the soil for all
the enriching constituents which well
worked and pulverized soils can draw
from the air.
Under the old system of fertilizing
with farm-yard manure, the average
were94 tons per acre. Under the new
chemical system of fertilizing, the
average is SO 1-5 tons per acre. 1t is
no uncommon thing in England to
obtain 40 tons of turnips per acre, in
drills. The improved Purple Top
Swede and Ruta Bajas are the most
popular.

Phebe's Mystery.


DHEBE sat on the doorstep, with the
Il afternoon sunshine glinting in her
hair and playing about the tangle of bright
eolored worsteds that lay in her lap. Her
forehead was wrinkled up, and her blue,
babyish eyes had perplexed, almost des-
pairing look in them for it was very in
tricate piece of work that Phebe was en-
gagged upon, and her worsteds were getting
hopelessly tangled up together. 1t was a
eroehcted tidy, the pattern of which Seman-
tha Staples had brought home with her
from Ipswich, where she had been at
school, and whose like had never been seen
on the Cape before. At first it had seemed
easy enough, and Phebe had worked on
gayly, knitting in hopes and fancies brighter
than the woods but now it was so vexing
that her face grew really distressed, and she
heaved great sigh from the very bottom
Of her heart that brought Aunt Jane to the
door,
"Umph when was young girls didn't
waste their time over such foolishness,"
said Aunt Jane. "Spoiling your eyesight
and crooking your back, too if you were at

"But, Aunt Jane, this is so lovely And

Aunt Jane shifted contemptuously, but
her puckered-up mouth relaxed q little.
"You had better been a mending your

bear to see them setting there all day-I
never did hold with such shiftless ways-so

"What dear, good, old aunty it is p
said Phebe, throwing her arm around her
neck, "and what in the world shall I do
without her?''
"There, there, child don't hug meH'
said Aunt Jane, smoothing her rumpled
collar. "There's Gilbert coming down
the road - and she vanished into the
house.
"Peor Aunt Jane - said Phebe to herself
with little sigh. She never minded if
Aunt Jane was little cross, for she knew
what faithful, tender heart she had, and
she always remembered the great disap-
pointment of her life, which people said had
g soured" her. Long ago, before Phebe
was born, Aunt James lover had sailed out
of that very harbor that was in sight from
the doorway where Phebe sat, and had
never come back again. "Ah, what
should 1 dO," said Phebe to herself, "if-"
and then she did give one glance up the
road at the tall, manly figure that was COM
ing that way, though before she had kept
her eyes coquettishly averted.
" 1t wasn't his gait. Phebe saw it with
a pang OF disappointment, though mo-
ment before you would have thought from
her face and attitude that she was perfectly
indifferent as to who might be coming down
the road.

The DEMOCRATIC NoA1INATIoN FOR Go
VERNON. Thursday. the 10th of June,

and, when the war opened, drifted in the
tide of war Democrats, who were op-
posed to the disruption of the Union.
Judge Carpenter has never changed his
sentiments, or principles. He has always
been opposed to the acknowledgements of
the colored people; he simply submitted
to the affairs rs they were, because he
regarded it of vital Importance to his
own safety and personal success. He
became Republican because Republi-
cans were in power, and had ut their
disposal Offices; but lie has, in private
always spoke his sentiments, which we're
in opposition to the principles Which has
made that party hated by the Democracy.
Judge Carpenter comes forth now and
allies himself with the Democracy, be-
cause he thinks that he may, with safety,
do 80. He now dons his true character
as a Democrat, and has given his pledges,
in private, to those who nominated him,
that he would oppose tho placing of so
many niggers in Office; that he will do all
he can to make null and void the fifteenth
amendment. These principles he will, if
elected Governor of this State, make
potent and effective in this State. Now
that he is the nominee-nowt that he turns
his back upon those who placed him in
power-now that he places himself in
antagonism to Republicanism in this
State, let the people move upon him as
their greatest foe, and rout him, horse,
foot, and dragoon. We say to every
colored man that, if they had nominated
Gen. N. O.. Butler for Governor, we
should have had better and truer man,
we should have had an honest, high
toned gentleman; but in the person of
the nominee for Governor we have n
traitor to our cause, and one whom we
never trust under any circumstances.
one who would sell us out at any time
and rob us of our liberties, and that Of
our children. Comrades, prepare for

The New ATTORNEY G GENERA1--THE
SOUTH IN THE CABINET. The only imme-
diatoly obvious fact in the appointment
OF MIR. Ackerman, of Georgia, to the place
made vacant by the resignation of Mr..

resentation in the administration. This
is substantial step of progress in the

The ATTORNEY -GENERALsHIp. Tho
President, in nominating A. II. Acker-
man, OF Georgia, for Attorney General
in place OF Hoar, resigned, has been
consistent From the beginning his
policy has been to ignore great talents
and public service in all the high posi-
tions of the Government, and the nomi-
nation Of Mr. Alderman forms no ex-
ception to the rule. He ranks third
rate among the lawyers of Georgia, but
will find fit associates in the Cabinet to
which he has been chosen. His tho
rough, unqualified, dyed-in-th -the-wool
radicnlism leaves no doubt of his con-
firmation by the Senate, and there is
quite as little doubt of his readiness to
give the President rs stringent opinions
on all laws bearing upon the South as
may be deslred.-Saoannah Republican.
