FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE:
Thursday Morning, May 6, 1915.
BP Nashville had a big sen.

~ Nashville had a big SEN
sation last Friday. Police
. man Robert T. Frazier, a
genial, warm-hearted, estimable
man, was shot and killed, while
in the discharge Of his duty, by
a burly, vicious, riotous ne
gro named Joe Reed, who was
arrested within forty minutes
after committing the crime.
Immediately the town was in
ferment. The opinion was
Wiley entertained andexpressed
that the law and the courts
could not be trusted for the pun
ishment Of the murderer. Con-
tinuances on account Of popular
excitement, it was urged, would
be the order in the courts, and
the prisoner finally escape mer-
tied punishment. And then an
cnraged public, determined that
crime should be promptly pun
ished, assembled before the
Jail in thousands, broke open
the doors, pulled Reed cut, put
a rope around his neck, hur-
ricd him to the suspension
bridge, and after shooting him
twice in the head, hurled him
over to the rocks below, whence
he rolled into the river, dead.
While the murder of Frazier
was atrocious, the mob vio-
lence that followed it is mex
cusable. The negro was in con-
finement and ought to have
been held to answer an out
raeel law. Those who partici-
pated in his taking off should
be arrested and held accounta-
bic.

Tennessee.
Its Resources and it's Future.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ductS-The Markets, &c.

can not be equaled by any State
in the Union. 1t is so central
ly located that its products can
find a choice of markets, with
less expense of transportation
than any other locality. The
average of soil for the great
range of farming, is unequaled,
and its excellent water power,
and superior and inexhaustible
supply of coal, SO we'll dis
tributcd over the State, with its
great supply of timber, for fuel,
to make steam, will make it the
cheapest location that can be
found to manufacture its pro-
ducts.
Tennessee raises considerable
cotton, and lies on the border
of the cotton producing States.
This cotton should be mainly
worked up there, thus saving
the freight on the raw material
to the New England factories,
and that of the manufactured
articles back to the South.
At the present time nearly all
the farm machinery, wagons,
carriages, and in fact, every 9TH
er article you find in the stores
warehouses, and in use, bear the
imprint Of some Northcrnmanu-
facturer. There is no good rea-
son, with her great resources,
why Tennessee should not be
the greatest place Of earth for
agriculture and manufacturing.
With all these advantages, and
as the great objection to north
erners going there is removed,
and their citizens being more
than willing toreceive them, tits
only a question Of time, and
that a very short time, when she
will step to the front as a pro-
ducing State.
/ have before spoken of the
advantages Tennessee possesses
as a vegetable and fruit growing
State. The peach and apple
crop seldom fails there. They
are far surer crop there
than in New Jersey. A peach
orchard could be set out there
this fall, and one year from next
summer, 1876, it would bear
considerably. The next year
quite a full crop--the year fol-
lowing it would be in its prime
Apple trees come into bearing
very rapidly. 1t would be a
fortune to any man to go there,
secure Il good location for an
orchard, put out one hundred
acres or more, in apples, peach
es, pears, grapes, &c, TAX
ing good care Of them. The
second year it would begin to
realize some returns, and after
that more. Within ten years
he would become wealthy.
While he is doing this, % TO
90 acres put into garden vege-
tables would clear him from
500 to $500 per acre each year.
This is what friend of mine
is doing near Nashville now.
This year he has 10 acres in wa
ter melons, 20 in muskmelons,
10 in cucumbcrs, and 6 in
onions, rs acres. From this,
taking lis for success as a
criterion, he expects to clear 5000
per acre. These products he
can put into the Northern mar
ct from two to four weeks carli-
er than the North can produce
them. Last year he found sale
for all he raised in Nashville.
His cucumbers he will put up
for pickles. If they do we'll he
will make from $500 to $500
per acre on them.
There are but few vegetables
out can be proftably cultiva-
ed there and any amount of /
his produce could find ready
market North. Take for in

lati. Louisville. and Indianan-

Fearful Ravages Of Buf:
falo Gnats.

MEMPHIS, April 28.--Com-
paints are pouring in from
all the surrounding counties
Of the fearful destruction of
horses and mules by buffalo
gnats. Many small planters,
especially colored ones, areruined
by having their only horses or
mules killed and being unable
to replace them at a time when
they are SO badly needed. The
Ledger publishes a letter from a
planter near Macon, Fayette
county, which says: "Not less
than two hundred horses and
mules have died in the past three
days within ten miles Of this
place. | went down to my
farm yesterday, distance six
miles, and counted thirty-seven
dead on the way. [ have lost four
on my farm and DR.. Hunter five,
while some planters have lost as
many as thirty head. 1t looks
like starvation to a people with
out money. Some Of the farm
ers will be compelled to turn out
part of the crop planted, as they
have no money to replace the
stock"

found that portion Of the hand, includ-
ing four fingers had been torn away, and
the foot sawed through at the ankle, leay-
ing only the great tendon and the heel
suspended 10 the lacerated stump. From
the knee downward the muscular flesh had
been rasped away by the line, leaving the
protruding bone enyeloped in tangled
mat of tendons and bleeding arteries.
Saved from drowning, the man seemed
likely 10 meet more cruel death, unless
some ono had the nerve TO perform the
necessary amputation. At that time the
New Bedford ships were the only ones
that carried surgical instruments to meet
such case. But Captain Jim was not

knife, carpenters saw, aud fish hook.
The injury was 50 frightful, and the poor
fellows groans and cries 50 touching, that

vors to aid the captain in the operation,

lashed his screaming patient on the car
penters bench, amputated the leg, and
dressed the hand as best he could.
Then, running to the Sandwich Islands,
he placed the sailor in the.hospital, where
he recovered, returning to the United

A Bootblack Adventure

The Milwaukee Netcs says During a
slight lull in business here yesterday, two
little bootblacks, one white aud one black,
were standing at the corner Of Second aud
Francis streets, doing nothing, when the
white bootblack agreed to black the black
bootblack's boots. The black bootbIack
was Of course willing to have his boots
blacked by his fellow bootblack, and the
bOotblack who had agreed to black the
black bootblack's boots went TO work.
When the bootblack had BACKED one Of
the black bootblack's boots until it shone
in manner that would make any boot
black proud, this little bootblack who had
agreed to black the black bootblacks's 5
boots refused to black until the black
bootblack, who had consented to have the
white bootblack black his boots, should
add five cents to the amount the white
boctblack had made backing other mems
boots. This the bootblack whose boot had
been blacked refused to do, saying it was
good enough for black bootblaek to
have one boot blacked, and he didn't
care whether the boot that the boot
black hadn't blaeked was blaeked or not.
This made the bootblack who had black
ed the black bootblack's boot angry, as a
bootblack often gets, and he vented his
black wrath by splitting upon the BACKED
boot of the black bootblack. This reused
the latent passions Of the black bootblack,
and he proceeded to boot the white boot
black with the boot which the white boot
black had blackcd. A fight then ensued,
in which the white bootblack, who had
refused to black the unblacked boot Of the
black bootblack, blacked the black boot
blacks visionary organ, and in which the
black bootblack wore all the blacking off
his BACKED boot in booting the white boot
black. The fraternity Of bootblacks after
ward convened and denounced the action
Of the white and black bootblaeks as one
Of the blackest in the pages of bootblack
history.

The Birds of Brazil.

There are two remarkable ornithological
specimens from Brazil, domesticated in
the gardens of the Royal Geological Soci-
ETY., on exhibition in Regents Park,
London.
One is the bell bird, the celebrated
campaaero Of the Spaniards, called dara
by the Indians. He is about the size of
the jay. His plumage is white as snow.
On his forehead rises a spiral tube, nearly
three inches long. II is jet black, dotted
all over with small white feathers. 1t has
a communication with the palate, and when
filed with air looks like a spire; when
empty, it becomes pendulous. His note
Is loud and clear, like sound Of bell,
and may be heard at the distance Of three
miles. In the midst Of Brazil's extensive
wilds, almost out Of gun reach, you will
see the can,panero, No sound or song
from any Of the winged inhabitants of the
forest, not even the clearly pronounced
"Whip-poor-Will' from the goatsuoker,
causes such astonishment as the toll Of the
canpaaero.
With many Of the feathered race he
pays the common tribute Of morning and
evening song; and even when the meridian
sun has shut in silence the mouth of al
most the whole Of animated nature, the
edRpUero still cheers the forest. You
hear his toll, and then pause for min
ute, then another toll, and then pause
again, and then toll, and again pause.
Then he Is silent for six or eight minutes,
and then another toll, and so on. sac
tson would stop In the mid-chase," says
Waterton, "Maria would defer her evening
song, and 0rpheus himself would drop his
Lutte to listen TO him, so sweet, SO novel,
and 80 romantic is the toll Of the pretty
snow-white campanero, He is never seen
to feed with the other cofingas, nor Is il
known ia what part Of Guiana he makes
his nest
The second specimen is relative Of the
bell bird, and is known to ornithologists as
the cotinga ciacta. OF these, in their
natural state, even less Is known than Of
the bell birds. The eotiagas arc distin-
guished by the brilliancy Of the coloratiou
Of the males. In the species at present
under notice, the under parts are Of deep
plum color, while the upper parts, with
the band or cinctus across the breast, are
OF a magnificent ultnmarine blue. In
size this cofiAgas equals black bird.
Their food consists Of fruits, which their
wide cape enable them to swallow with
ease. Like their allies the bell birds,
they are solitary in their habits, keeping
The topmost branches Of trees, ,fhnd gener-
ally residing in the dense Grest, though
at times they approach he cultivated
grounds in search of their Pod.
