Mercy went to the 'front.' Faithless second, Pastor
third, Warlock fourth, Minnie filth, Usseo sixth,
Parole seventh, the others hidden by dust,
which was so dense that the followers could not
be placed. Warlock colided with Lady, Clipper
and both fell, throwing the Jockeys heavily
to the ground: but, Tor unatey, they were
not badly hurt. ,Faithess, as soon as she

THE MEMPHIS AND KNOXVILLE
RAILROAD

Ii is understood that q meeting of the
chamber OF commerce, which represents
the business men and q large portion Of
the property-holders, is to be held at no
distant day to take some action in re-
gard to the Memphis and Knoxville
railroad. 1t is said that with a fifty
thousand dollar subscription in this city,
the road can be put under immediate
contract as far as Henderson en- the
Mobile and Ohio road, which is eighty
six miles from Memphis. This road
built TO that point would secure to Mem
phis a large portion of the trade Of
Hardemsn, M'Nairy, Henderson, Decs-
tur and Hardin counties, and also some
thing from Madison county, in which
Henderson is situated. In the year 1870
the value OF farm products in the eOun-
ties on the line of this road this side Of
the Tennessee river, exclusive of Shelby
and Fayette counties, was S6,634, O74,
and the number Of bales Of cotton was
1886. II to this be added Fayette county,
the amount OF cotton raised on this line
in the counties this side of the Tsnnes-
see river was 43, AL. The amount raised
this year in these counties is much
larger than the amount above stated.
Most OF t.Is cotton now goes TO other
markets than Memphis. II this road
were completed to Henderson, Mem
phis would get 8 large portion Of this
cotton, and also Of the grocery, dry
goods, hardware and other trade Of these
counties. II we estimate the value Of
the trade on the line Of this road as far
Pulaski, a distance of hundred and
ninety miles, il will be largely in
creased. The value of the farm pro-
ducts in the counties Oh the line Of this
road az far IS Pulaski, in 1870, was
SIC, 34l, 203, and if we add Lincoln coun-
ty it would be SIS, OOO, 600 and the num-
Der OF bales Of cotton wss in that year
86,3lI. This is the trade which that
road would open to Memphis. This
does not include the mineral wealth on
the line Of the road. To secure this
trade, or q considerable portion Of
it, Memphis is only ssked TO
raise $4,000. Well may the
chamber Of commerce of this city feel
deep interest IN this enterprise. We
hope if q meeting should be called, am
pie time viii be given to have q repre-
,entation from the counties this side OF
The Tennessee river at the meeting, in
rider that something definite may be

This opposition is formidable, and if it
"does not manifest itself in force at the
"St. Louis convention, it will do so if
ever the subject comes before congress.
Rival interests thus aroused may be
"relied on to do much toward the defeat
"Of scheme to which We object, on
the main ground that it depends on
"suhsidy (another word for corruption)
" for its life." Thus it is apparent that
the overlooking Of the Southern Pacific
project with Tom Scott's plans and pur-
poses will be fatal to it, and that there is
good chance for the total ruin Of the
chances for the subsidy Of Southern
Pacific railroad by an opposition more
formidable than Mr.. Scott and his back
ers dream of. We must have purely
southern road il we want to be success
full before congress.

HERE is an Endorsement of the course
ofthe APPEAL from a sound Democratic
source, the Brownsville Democrat:

Weare glad to see the Democracy of Mem.
phis taking steps looking to the thorough or
ganiZation of their party. This should be
done in every county and town in the State
The ancient convention system should be, in
all cases, vigorously adhered TO. Defeat, with
thorough organization, is something less dis
astrous than victory with disorganiZation.
The Democracy of Memphis, united and
aroused, can carry their city. Let them unite
upon the broad basis OF anti Radicalism in all
Its phases, and move upon the willy enemy.
The party of corruption has been encouraged
in this State by the apparent dissenslon
among Democrats on the currency question,
and the Nashville Bulletin even boasts of
carrying Tennessee by some sort Of opposition
combination in the next general election. We
admit this is possible, # Democrats are idiotic
enough to permit it, by quarreling upon SUBJ
feet about which the generality OF them have
very little practical expertence-the money
question.
Gentlemen inclined to waver in their
allegiance to thelDemocratic party will.do
well to remember, especially the boast Of
the Nashville Bulletin above alluded to.

'TAKE it all in ALL" says the Paris
LGteZigencer, "the road advocated by
the Memphis convention is just the road
we want. To its support, if it comes up
in this shape in congress, every southern
representative and senator should be
forced by their constituents to commit
themselves earnestly, persistently and
uncompromisingly. We should make it
test question above al others just now
in giving our support to any man a
candidate before the people for any leg
islative position whatever"

Turn,p machine.

An old Scotch farmer who was exceed
ingly fond Of lessening the labor on his
farm, happened to enter a chemists shop
one day on some business. lie found the
mar Of drugs busily employed cleaning q
galyanic battery. The farmer looked on
for some time at the operations Of the
chemist, and being reused by curiosity,
he addressed the shopman:
"What kind o. machine dae we ca
that, MASTER"
"0h," replied the chemist, "this is a
new machine for sowing turnips."
''For saving neeps" cried the aston
ished son OF toll. "Hoo dist work ~
"Take hold Of the handles" said the
chemist.
The farmer soon complied, being now
all eagerness 10 understand all about the
new machine. No sooner had he laid
hold Of the handles than the chemist set
the thing in motion. Sooa he had the
satisfaction Of seeing the worthy farmer
dancing and bowling in the most dreadful
manner.
"Throw the handles on the counter, !"
said the chemist.
This the farmer found impossible to DO.
At length, looking inploringly in the
face of the chemist, he cried:
"woa woa man, il is perfect murder
handlin' that thing"
The chemist then stopped the current
of electricity As soon as the farmer
was released, he rushed from the shop
shouting:
