GuarantIning Against Yellow
FeVeK-The Coarse Oh
Cleveland and other
Towns J~nsiiaed.

DIR. L. z. Blackburn, of KY
who has been doing heroic SER
vice in the South during the ep-
idemic, says hat the fever is in
fectious and can be guarded
against by rigid quarantine. He
told a correspondent Of The CuI
cagO Tribune thai the present
visitation OF the plague is dis
tinctly traced 10 the Steamer
Russia, which came into New
Orleans from Havana on the Sth
Of June with 1908 boxes Of sugar.
The disease spread from this
source. 1t has been carried to
Memphis. Grenada and Browns
Vile, and did not originate at any
Of these places. The fever at
Hickman, KY, was directly trace
able to two apple boys who went
on an infected steamer, and were
taken with the black vOmit. The
two men who nursed them died
with it. Their house adjoined
that of the Millet family, which
was decimated, and so it contin-
ued to spread like smallpox. a
woman from Memphis died from
it near Fathers House, on the
highest elevation in Chattanooga
and infected hat neighborhood.
The BARRIERS wife who washed the
wOman's clothing in an otherpart
of the town died OF it there, and
infected that portion. DR.. Black
burn says that the theories Of ell
ovation and malaria have been
completely dispelled by the OBJ
servations and experiences Of
present year, and that the only
way to keep yellow fever out of
the country is for Congress to
pass "a law requiring and enfor-
cling the most rigid quarantine on
the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. The
Southern climate is such as to
rapidly propagate the disease af-
Ter it is once introduced, but if it
is not permitted to enter from
foreign ports the country will be
free from it at all lines. The
subject is one that is deserving OF
considerable attention at the
hands of Congress.

Hon. ID. r. Harrison.

The above gentleman, who is an in
dependent candidate for the Senate,
was in the city last week getting ac-
quainted with our people. We are
proud to say that he is a man Of intel
ligencs, and one that the party may be
Justly proud of. He is the same Harri-
sou that was elected last year TO fill the
unexpired term Of Mr. Chambers, and
consequently served n term in the
special session of the Legislature. His
views on the State debt are IN accord
With the Republican platform-which
Is in favor OF an ''honest settlement OF
the States honest deb;.' His compel
tor is u man Ivy the name or Smith, OF
whom We know nothing, ana are nor

p)sc no endorses the Democracy
which Is enough to make the people
vote against him.

The GREAT DCnlagOgue at
Athens.

A correspondent Of the Chronicle,
giving an account of Judge Marks
speech at Athens, says:
HIS positions on State policy were
perfectly unassailable and unanawer-
able, because he took noue at all.
Here is our proud old State Of Ten
nessee, overwhelmed with debt, dis
graced and dishonored in all the
money countries of the world, unable
TO pay one cent Of interest on her
bonds, which are no longer wanted at
any price, and here is also q candi-
date for the high Office of Governor
of Tennessee, the nominee Of the
dominant party Of the State, canvass
ing for votes who harangues hls fell
low citizens Of McMinn county for
the space Of two mortal hours, who
never from beginning to ending, di-
rcctly or indirectly, alluded to his
own State or her deplorable condi-
ton. Why was State affairs and
| State policy entirely ignored?
A stranger could not have told
from listening to his speech of what
State he was u citizen, nor to what
office he was aspiring. He might
very we'll have been mistaken for
Keorney, Cohen or some other ,agita-
ror or communist. There was not
one single political idea or sentiment
in his entire speech to raise him
above the standard of the shallow
demagogue. He gave his opinion
freely in regard to the payment OF
the United States bonds, insisting
that they should now be paid in
| silver, as it was only worth about
81 cents to the dollar in greenbacks
and thus repudiate about one-eighth
of those bonds. But when we listen.
ed to hear HIM say what kind OF
currency he would pay Il State
bonds, he was mum as an oyster
And yet this nan aspires to the office
of Governor, once filed by Polk, the
Browns, Andy Johnson, Campbell,
Trousdale, Brownlow, and last BY
Porter, an honest upright man, and
still he does not apologize even to'
not discussing State policy. How
has Democracy fallen? 1t has low.
cred its standard to the reputation
list, the iuaationist, the labor asitatol
and tho communist. 1t has utterly
abandoned its old standards, repudi-
atcd sound finances and gone OFT at.
ter new and false gods. 1t seems e
me that this is a most oppori
time for all prudent, honesi
~triotic Democrats to CHI
purity relations, and take

A Card From Col. Edwards

n Card From Col. EdHards
To the people of Tennessee: On
the % OF this month | Was sole
lied to accept the candidacy for
Governor by the Executive Com
mittee of the National Green
back labor party. This Pdeclin-
ed. Mr.. Tillman was selected
and after a few days be declined.
The Executive Committee have
again asked permission TO use my
name, and | consented. In ac-
ccpting the position ! deem il
proper to state that | am ANNA
ted by no other consideration
than that of aAiording the use of
my namein the contest now arts
ing between capital, wealth and
a subsidized press Oh one side and
labor and the manhood OF the
working men on the other. This
contest has not been brought
about by the men who labor for
subsistence, nor is such a contest
desired by them, but it has been
forced on them by the Legislation
of the country both State and Ma
tional, and we must meet 1t as
men.
We have one candidate tor Gov
ernor (Judge A. S. Marks who in
the canvass so far has wholly fail
ed to discuss State issues. confn-
ing himself wholly to National
questions leaving the Penitentia,
~ lease, the Rail Road ring and
the Bond question Of the State
wholly out Of view.
We have another candidate
Or. Wight who is unequivocal-
ly in favor Of paying ol'the bond
ed debt in full.
Believing that in the present
depressed condition of our finan-
ces, that the people are in no con
dition to make any adjustment Of
our State debt I would not favor
levying any further taxes for that
purpose, until such times as our
financial condition would justify
US in so doing.
would also favor the passage
of law by which in all DEGREES
or judgments for sale of land for
debt and in all foreclosures Of
mortgages or deeds of trust for
sale Of land, that before the cred
itor could enforce said DEGREES.
judgment, mortgage or deeds Of
trust his debt should be scaled to
the extent of depreciation in val
lie Of the real estate sought to be
sold. This would give the debtor
class an even chance with the
creditor class. The Justice of this
will be readily perceived.
Time is too short to discuss this
and other questions and | will on
ly say in conclusion that not hay
ing sought this position and only
accepted in order that the people
VINO have been for many years
left out of view by the politicians.
might have a candidate who from
his own experience can and does
sympathize with their distress,
and believing that the cause |
have espoused will and must
eventually prevail, | respectfully
submit my name to the consider
alton of an enlightened ond intel
ligent public.

Mr.. Wheeler, the Republican Candi-
date for Congress, is a man on whom
Nil parties who are opposed to Dibrell
can unite. He has never been mixed
up in politics heretofore, and his views
ou all questions Of Importance are
sound. The only argument that is be-
ing used against him by Dibrell's ring
is ,hat he has been n conservative man
and voted for Greeiey for President.
How that Is, we are not prepared to
say, but let that be as it may, it makes
no difference. The Republican party
is the party of the people and 1t has no
fault to find with any man because he
may at sometime in life have seen prop
er to vote according to the dictates Of
his own conscience. We only wish that
every man in the whole country, be he
Democrat or Republican, would rally
to the common cause Of the people and
help defeat the tools Of the monied
rings. Mr.. Dibrell has been in 'Con-
gress four long years and has drawn
100000 in salary, and still his thirst for
money is not gratiied. lie has never
done one single solitary thing for his
constituents that we can hear of except
to send a few of the leading ones a
package of cabbage seed. We ask each
and every one Of our readers TO be
present at the court house in Cleveland
next Monday aud hear Mr. Wheeler
speak, and thea if they vote for Dibrell
they viii have no one to blame but
themselves.

An Astonishing Fact. large
portion of the American people are to-
day dying from the effects of Dyspep-
STA or disordered liver The result of
these diseases upon the masses of in
telligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually a bur-
den instead of pleasant existence of
enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for
this, if you will only throw aside pre-
judice and skepticism, take the advice
of druggists and your friends, and try
one bottle of Green's August Flower.
Your speedy relief is certain Mil
lions of bottles OF this medicine have
been given away to try its virtues,
with satisfactory results in each case.
You can buy sample bottle for ten

The election in New Hampshire,
which came off last weak. cannot be
ether than satisfactory to the repuhli-
cans all over the nation. The entire
republican ticket was elected by a
majority approximating 5000. In
1874 the state went democratic by
ne" 1900 majority; in 1875 the
republicans carried it by l79 majority
only. In 1876 the republicans won
BY 3,62S, and again in 1877 by ma
jority of 4,o54.
The predictions Of our democratic
friends that "the Old Granite State"
would repudiate Republicanism, has
not been verified. 1t is clear that the
republicans of New Hamps hire, though
they may differ regarding the policy of
she President, are a unit when they
come to speak at the polls upon the
great fundamental principles of Re-
publicanism.
