A WHITE WIFE OR DEATH.
What the Damnable Doctrine
of Equality is Doing Among
the West Tennessee Ne
grOeS.

The Nashville Union and American OF
Wednesday says;
Intelligence reached this city yester-
day of an extraordinary lynching affair
in the eastern portion of Carroll county
last Saturday. A negro of VIGOROUSLY
bad character had boosted that he in
tended to have a certain worthy white
girl for his wife. He was reported to
the girls father as having said that ne
intended to marry the girl OF kill her.
The father called on the negro to know
about his threats. They were admitted,
whereupon the outraged parent admin
istered to him a terrible beating. This
so outraged the dusky Desperate that
he swore vengeance on both father and
daughter. The better to execute his
vengeance, he secTeted himself well
armed near the fathers spring, waiting
his chance TO execute his bloody threats.
Before he had an opportunity TO do So
information of his lying in ambush
was conveyed to the father, who pro-
cured the assistance of some friends and
succeeded in capturing the would be as
sassin. That night party OF masked
men took possession of him and when
he was next seen he had die0 kicking al
the United States.
The tragedy occurred in one of the
strongest radical districts in Carroll
county. The father of the young lady
is a radical, and the general speculation
as to the identity of The masked parties
is that they were also radicals.
There is, or was last week, a state o
| feverish excitement IN the vicinity o
| CIarI1s burg, Carroll county, grow iIis
out of a very aggrayating piece Of ne.
gro ruffianism. Four colOred men called
at the house Of citizen and made fu'
til attempt TO compel the lady of tbs
house to prepare them dinner. a
/ high state of Indignation pervading al
| classes and parties, was the result OF thi,
dastardly conduct, AMI all that has saved
the scoundrels from rather rough treat
ment, is the fact that they cannot b

We ask our readers, those especially
who have wives, daughters and sisters
are you going to endorse this damnabl
radical doctrine of social equality b!

An Old Story with a Good
Moral

There was n merchantile firm which
began TO advertise freely just after the
great collapse of colossal fortunes in
1857. All profits of the firm for a time
were invested in printers ink, and its
members toiled vigorously, and adver-
tised in the best newspapers. At the
end of seven years they had one hun
dred thousand dollars, besides their
stock of goods, and owed not a dollar.
No merchant can succeed, in these days
of assumption, when people no longer
read books, and look 20 newspapers for
all sorts of information-nOn succeed
who do not employ newspapers. This
panic that prevails should augment adj
vertising accounts. There is as much
money as ever in the country, and il is
Just as good as ever. 1t is boarded till
bargains are offered and the reading
people learn through the newspapers
where these bargains may be made. In
order % buy, the people must be told by
their newspapers where 20 buy and who
has what they want and iancy.-Appeal.

If It be true that this is white mans
government, the South can only keep
its State government white by substi
tuting appointment, for election, of
every official that pertains to the judi
ciary. Such was clearly the intention
of the founders of our Institutions, and
the intention was carried out by the
original Thirteen States, until the absurd
doctrine that all men are created free
and equal, gave birth TO specious demu-
gOguos, who succeeded, by appeals to
passion and prejudice, in subverting
that stronghold OF justice and liberty
a judiciary undefiled by contact with
the political arena, teeming with cor
rupt ambition, conceited Ignorance and
unreasoning prejudice. Every man
viii admit that, with the voting material
of the South, the less the voting, the
better for the Nell-being of all-and es-
pecially of the whites who have TO foot
the bills of cost, made by the ballots OF
laundering ignorance and the inten-
tional frauds .of designing politicians.-

The Iron Belt and the Mem

Prof. James ri. Stafford, The State

of Middle Tennessee near the Tennes-
see river. as the s'Western Iron Belt"
as contra-distinguished to the other two
great belts which cross the State. He
saws. ait is an area about fifty miles wide,
and runs through the State. North
ward it extends into Kentucky, stretch
ing out to the Ohio river. Within Ten
nessee, it includes all or parts of the
following counties: Lawrence, Wayne,
Hardin, Lewis, Perry, Decatur, Hiek-
man Humphreys, Benton, Dieksons
Montgomery and Stewart Immense
amounts of the best of iron ore the
world can produce, can be found IN TINS
iron belt, and the richest portion OF It
lies contiguous to the proposed line OF
the Memphis & Knoxville narrOw-gauge
railroad. and within less than one hum
bred and fifty miles of Memphis The
reason why these iron mines have not
been developed is the want of railway
facilities. Ii the narrOw-gauge road
was completed to Lawrenceburg, IN
Lawrence county, Ito say nothing OF
Fayetteville where the road is bound to
gO) from Memphis, these mines would
at once begin to develop, and give en-
ployment to thousands of labOrers, who
are skilled in mining, and capital would
flow in according to the facilities toI
profitable investment. The products OF
these mines would pour into Memphis
and aid in giving an impetus to manu-
/ featuring.
All the railroad company asks OF
| Memphis is a subscription of $50, 900
which will secure the construction o.
the road from here to Fayetteville, il

CIoud-Bursts.
Two Hundred and Fifty Per
SONS Lost.


On the path inst the dispatches inform
us that at Eureka, Nevada, a terrible
water spout burst IN the mountains and
swept through the town, killing twenty
persons and causing great destruction of
property. Ii had been raining all morn
ing with great violence until about noon,
when heavy cloud burst on lofty
range of mountains to the east and
emptied its aerial sea into the canon
where the town is located and flooded
the town by a fearful rush of water,
Houses were torn from their founda-
tions and thirty lives destroyed.
ANOTHER CLoUD-BURsT
is reported at Pittsburg and Allegheny
City on the night Of the Goth inst, The
storm was more severe and destructive
TO life and property than the other.
Two hundred and nineteen persons
were drowned, and n hundred houses
swept away. The food was five feet
deep in the upper part of Pittsburg and
twenty in Allegheny City. A hugh
inky black cloud overhung the city for
"A while, which gave vent to almost per-
petual bursts Of lightning. When the
rain first commenced falling no appre-
tensions were entertained that the val
ley would so soon be deluged, but those
who lived In the upper part OF the val
ley state that suddenly it seemed as II
the heavens were opened and the water
came down as if discharged from inn
mense pipes. The volume was so large
that the valley was soon filed with a
raging torrent, which swept through
with such force and rapidity as to cut
down houses like pipe stems and destroy
lives by the score. There was no time
for escape. The value Of property de-
stroyed cannot yet be estimated.

Those inclined to follow A. J. in the
direction of Reputation, should exam

what sort of bonds were issued during

let them weigh his influence in saddling

acter of the debt created by that admin
istration and then infer from the facts,
the motives which prompt his animosity

mention has been made OF her arrival

the opinion seems 10 be that the young
lady made a HgeSGiii0Rce and has placed
herself at a great disadvantage. As
Miss Grant, the daughter OF the Ameri-
can President, she was welcomed here
by the swells, and received by the
Queen; but as Mrs. Sartoris, the wife of
