EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS.

We learn that the Radical ticket has
been printed with the names Of G. l..
Anderson for sheriff, J. J. Rawlings for
trustee, and G. w. Gordon for attorney
general of the Bartlett court. Colonel
7. II. LogwoOd's name is not on the
ticket, but the place for the name Of the
candidate for judge Of the criminal
court Is left blank. We are informed
that the Radicals have prepared strips
with the name Of 3 lawyer whom they
have selected upon one side, and muciI-
age on the other. The instructions
given out to the faithful in the Radical
ranks is for every man to paste the strip
over the name of Colonel Logwood, on
every Democratic ticket he can set
hold OF, and also to paste the strip
over the place left blank on the Radical
ticket. By this means 1t is hoped that
enough Democrats can be imposed upon
to elect their man and defeat Colonel
Logwood for judge Of the criminal court.
For the benefit of those who may palm
off such frauds upon innocent voters, we
call attention to the section of the code
of Tennessee which bears upon the sub
Ject, before coming to which
we may say additionally that
the manipulstors OF this trick will be
closely watched Oh the day of election,
and every one who is caught in the act
OF distributing such fraudulent tickets
will be promptly arrested and prosecuted
to the extent Of the law. Democrats
should be vigilsnt and read carefully
the tickets they vote or hand to any
other person to vote. For the benefit of
those who propose to paste the name Of
another person over the name Of Col
onel Logwood on the Democratic ticket,
and then impose it upon q voter-mak-
ing him believe it is the regular ticket
bearing the name Of Colonel Logwood-
we copy section 1893 Of the code Of Ten
nessee. 1t is as follows:
1t is a misdemeanor for any person to
furnish an elector with ticket or ballot,
representing to him that it contains q
written or printed thereon, with an in
tent to induce him to vote contrary to
his inclination, or fraudulently or de,
ceitfully to change q ballot, whereby
such electOr is deprived OF voting for
such person as be intended.
Section 1899 sf1xes the pu" ishment,
which is a fire or imprisonment
lin the county wOrkhouee), or both
We learn that certain white men are
at the bottom o! this business, and are
playing tie part Of the monkey who
used Il paws, Of the cat to pull the
chestnuts out Of the fire-they fixing
the tickets and the strips with the
paste on them, and delivering them
to the negroes TO do the work, which is
the crime. We sincerely hope the ne
groes will not be used in any such dis
graceful manner, and thereby get them
selves into trouble.

Knoxville Tribune: Tramps are in
vited TO come to Knoxville, as under
the workhOuse system they can be util-

received from the department at Wash
ington, Of the variety known as "Winter
White" and from that quart he harves-
ted and threshed out fifty.two pounds Of
q good article of wheat. This Is about
the beet yield we have heard of, and it

Nashville American, 30th: Commits.
sioner Killebrew received yesterday
specimen of lead ore (Gslena) from n.
c. Carter, of Linden. The specimen
was obtained from Wayne county, about
sixteen miles from Linden. 1t is said 10
be abundant, and if it proves az antici-
pated, it will be a considera BILE acquisi-
ton to the mineral wealth of the State.
This species OF ore is fOund in many
parts of East and Middle Tennessee, as
we'll as in some localities of West Ten
nessee, hut rarely in working quantities.
The Caldwell mines in East Tennessee
are the most important, and were
worked in 1923 by the Confederate
government, which erected the ma
chinery and buildings for reducing the
ore.

Some Facts About Leap Year.

The necessity of having one year In
four with q single day more than the 9th.
ers 10 founded upon the fact that the rota-
ton of the earth around the sun is accom-
plished la 1906 days, five hours, forty eight
minutes and forty.six seconds, or about
eleven minutes less than quarter Of day.
Julius Cesar, when he attempted to cor.
rect the almanac, made the mistake OF ig-
poring the eleven minutes and q misun.
Outstanding of the imperial decree fixed
the leap year one year In three. Augustus,
eight wears b. g., ordained that for the
next twelve years there should bc no leap
year, and thus corrected the error for the
time. But there were the eleven minutes
which, as tho centuries rolled on, became
hours and days The Council Of Nice, In
A, ID. 325, brought the sun and the alma
nae into harmony. but len the perplexing
eleven minutes unprovided fer, and 1t
thus went on TOR twelve centuries, when
Pope Gregory Kill, finding the sun ten
DAYS behind the calendar, ordained rad
ical cure, enioining thatthe ten days be-
tween the 81 and tho Nth of October,
1882, should be struck out Of the alma.
nae The different nations OF Europe
adopted like course one after another,
Protestant England being the last To con-
form To the Popes bull, In 1859, when the
English calendar dropped eleven days, In
september, which had then accumulated.
To prevent errors In future, 1t Is necessary
that three leap years shall be omitted In
each 400 years, and this Is managed by
making the omitted years the even hun.
dreds, that are not diyisible by 400. so
that 1900 nor 1900 were, and 1900 will not
be leap year, but 20G0 will be, as 1000
was.
In Transporting from old to new
style" the time must be taken into ac
count the farther back we go the fewer
days II takes To make IL right The Phi.
gr!ms landed In Plymouth Dec. ii and,
rs the error was only ten days, the cele.
brations of that event should be on the
2lst and not the ED The days Of the
week were not affected by this change.
The fact that leap year gives unusual
prerogatives TO the gentler sex who are
mstrimonialiy inclined Is not OF astro'
Domicai origin, but may, nevertheless, be
worthy Of the most profound masculine
respect. va se1s

Accidental ShO0tings.

Scarcely a week passes that the papers
do not chronicle deaths from accidental
shooting. During the last week two or
three occurrences Of this character have
been telcgTaphcd To the Inter. Ocean, and
more will undoubtedly follow. Some one
playfully points an old pistol or dilapi.
dated shotgun Mt a companion, and pulls
the trigger. Who would have thought
the gun was loaded And yet IL goes on
and buries its ounce or 80 Of lead In the
heart or brain of the victim. And though
this story Ii reported, over snd over and
over again, and the instances where such
blind carelessness has resulted fatally
have been multiplied until every school
boy must have heard of them, the acci-
dents continue, seemingly unchecked,
and the number of deaths from such
causes bids fair to rival or exceed those
by railway accidents.
The law does not hold guiltless persons
who take the life Of another In this man
ner, but lis provisions are rarely enforced
owing 10 the indisposition OF the public
10 punish an offense committed without
malice. IL Is a question, however, IL pen.
allies, and severe ones, viii not have 10
be exacted before this idiotic practice OF
triiing with deadly weapons shall be
done away with. Last week boy who
WAS frightening his sister with an old
gun managed before he had ended his
frolic to send charge OF buckshot en-.
firely through her body, killing her In.
stantly. Monday n boy pointed an old
pistol al his little brother and snapped II,
when, much TO bis surprise, the
weapon wen. off, tearing the child's
skull 10 pieces and bringing instant
death. Yesterday, nj Fort Wayne. anotli-
er boy Of sixteen years was playfully
pointing pistol AT companion and
threatening TO shoot, when the weapon
was discharged and the load buried In the
brain Of the victim OF this pleasant pas
time. II reads most sggrassiingly 10 see
appended 10 all these accounts the state
nieHt that the innocent cause OF the ae'
cident Is nearly crazed with grief il
Is small consolation 10 the agonizcd par.
ents Of the murdered child that the care
less fool who has robbed them Is distressed
at the accident. The fact is, lads Of the
age named have no business with firearms
Of this description. There are Thousands
Of boys In Chicago who are In the habit
Of carrying pistols In their pockets and
Hoarishing them around the streets, and
with which they will one OF these days
commit acts similar To those mentioned
above, or perhaps worse. In fact, IL II
only short time ago that case OF this
kind occurred right in the heart Of the
city. II il the duty Of parents 10 prohibit
and prevent the carrying Of firearms by
their children, but II they do not do this
duty then the police should look TO II. II
IL certainly time that these constantlyre'
earring accidents should end.--Chtcagt
