on them in other States to be justili-
ed in any such contracted and in
yidious prejudice. And we believe
there is as little of that feeling
among the masses Of our people as
there is anywhere in the Southern
section Of the Union. In the great
growing and prosperous West a
man would be laughed at to talk
about the nativity of another in con.
nection with his claims for any pub
lie position. And in the South,
We hope. it will soon be so. It is
puerile prejudice and behind the
times. 1t is born of that same spirit
that sometimes prompts opposition
in one section of the State to a man
from another section of the same
State on that ground alone, and
shows itself even in districts and
counties when candidates are to be
chosen. It is a spirit in many
ways inimical to the public good.
1t belongs to the past, and it is en-
couraging TO observe that it is rapid
ly disappearing.
We want Northern men in the
South. We want them In Tennes-
see. We want their experience in
great public enterprises; we want
their bold, adventurous energies;
we want them as white men to aid
US in the maintenance of the sup
remacy of their race and our race.

tempts to relieve her, but without
success. Not long since DR.. Perriam
Gyles, whose Office and drug store
is on the corner of Purchase and
Broad streets, was called into requi-
sition and took charge of the case.
Abont a week ago. she became
subject TO uncomfortable uneasiness.
and begged DIR. Gyles to perform an
operation for her relief. This he was
reluctant to do. thinking it would
hazard her life, without a sufficient
" certain prospect obbringing relief
to her to compensate for the hazard.
She declared that life was burden;
that she must die as she was, and
that speedily; that she was willing
to die; death would he a relief; and
that she might as well die in efforts
for relief as in any way. At last DIR.
GyIes yielded to her opportunities :;
and having FIRST been solemnly exon
grated from blame. by the woman
and her husband, whatever might be
the result, he consented to perform
the operation. On Friday afternoon
last, assisted by DR.. James Davis. OF
this place, and Surgeon VIM. Allen,
of Sweetwater, he proceeded to per-
form the operation. He first made
an incision about ten inches long
along the medal line OF the abdo-
men. He found tumor projecting
largely, about 26 inches in diameter
and Of irregular form. lie opened it
and found therein two rattlesnakes,
one Sc inches, and the other 32I
inches in length. One Of the snakes
had FIVE rattles and the other four
rattles and button. They had yell
low and black spots on them, with
white bellies. They were quite live
ly and would rattle and strike wish
vengeance when disturbed. They
were killed and their skins and rat
ties are in the possession of Col Jno.
Stephens, at the corner of French
Broad and McNab streets, of this
town. They would not have been killed
but they were SO vicious fears were
entertained that they would bite
somebody. The tumor being remov-
ed Mrs. Kennedy was instantly re
lieved, and is now doing well. The
Doctor calls the snakes crOtalus hor-
ridos. Col. Stephens prizes their
skins and rattles as great curiosities
Too much praise cannot be given to
the eminent medical men for the
skill and calmness they manifested
throughout the operation. Mrs. Ken
nedy says she swallowed two small
soft white eggs that she found sew
eral years ago. as she was walking
out. in field near the Warm Springs,

Ireland, she was not acquainted with
the bird eggs of America. swallow

EXTRAORDINARY MEDICAL
AND SURGICAL CASE.

TWO LARGE RATTLE SNAKES CUT FROM
THE BODY OF LIVE woMANi
A recent number of the Nashville
Banner contains this paragraph /:
"Our readers will remember the
articles which appeared in this paper
some time ago concerning a snake
which had its home within the stom-
ach of Miss Taylor, of Jordan's val
ley. 1t was caught Friday at 8 o'clock
by DR.. Berger. 1t is twenty three
inches long. three-fourths of an inch
in thickness, and is brown and white
spotted. 1t was taken out of her
mouth, from which it had protruded
sufficiently to enable it to be cap
tured.'
A correspondent in Cooke county
sends us the following particulars of
a still more extraordinary case Of
snake disease, and an operation for
it's relief, attended with the most
happy results:

to the public and the press to report
cases, and forward communications

lowing case that has just occurred
here, at the county site of Cooke
county:
A Mrs. Kennedy, woman of about
forty, the wife of an Irish laborer liv-
ing on French Broad street, has for
several years suffered greatly from
i'll health. Her symptoms and COM
plants were singular. She was af-
iicted with almost constant pains,
80 that she could seldom, or never,
rest at night. She stated that she
felt something running up and down
in the abdomen, that she frequently
experienced the creeping sensation
which is called irritability. She had
been in the hospital here, and had
been treated successfully for cancer
of the bowels, worms, contracted by
datids. and other complaints, but
found no relief. AS her uneasiness
and pains continued, so we're the at.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
FARMING OUT TRANsPoRTATIoN-Ex

FARMING OUT TRANSPORTATION
PRESS COMPANIES.
In our article last week upon, the
subject of railroad freigbtage, we
had occasion to qHotor from the
charter of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginfa and Georgia BaASOad Co., to
show that the law pqoh5bited that
company FROM, chasgiag more than
35 cents> Perr 700 pounds per 800
miles. The quotation shows, also,
that said company cannot farm out
transportation over its line OF road
10 any party or parties. except sub
iscs to the same rate.
But, in this respect. the law Of the
land has been insolently disregarded
and ignored by nearly every railroad
company in the State; in this +: that
there are, what are called Express
companies, taking articles for trans
portation, and transporting them at
eEorbitant rates, on nearly every
line Of road. These Express COM
panies are very useful in many re-
spects. The law would not, as we
think. apply to the transportation of
very many articles transported by
them; such as money, valuable pa
gers, bonds, etc.
But when articles of freight are
carried by them, they violate the
law every time they charge more
than the above rates.
Their contracts are made with the
railroad companies, with the law be-
fore tham,- and IN so far as they are
made in violation Of the law, are
null and void. So that the cxtor-
tion in this case, is the extortion
of the Express companies These
express companies are hinge affairs,
and are amassing money by the
millions. A few men are growing
TO be money kings by this method;
but the people are paying the must
clan all the time you pay little,
/ pay a little,-too little to make o
noise about; but so it goes. a little
here and little there, which, in the
aggregate, amounts to wealth to the
few. and poverty to the masses.
This too, ought to be broken up,
in so far as it deals with articles of
ordinary value. Railroad companies
Gun as easily transport such articles
with promptness and rapidity over
their lines for private parties, as they
can for Express companies. Such
transportation can as well be done at
lawful rates as at any other rates.
We cont;aes0 to refer to these
things because we believe the time
has come for action. The men-the
vast multitude of men-all over the
country who have been placed by
middle men, by railroad companies,
by express companies, by corrupt Of
ficials, and in a hundred other ways,
are, through their organizations,
looking into these things, and they
intend to put stop to them.
