the foregoing, except m one essential
particular, that of Ladd's attempting TO
shoot the officer. One of the women, it
may be said here, is known as Redmond's
Sweetheart as he is the father of her
children. The fact Of her connection
with Redmond has. caused her to be
closely watched by the revenue force,
and accounts for their presence on this
occasion. This woman testifies that on
the Sunday. morning in question four
men came to. the house where she was
with her mother and two brothers, and
one of them, called by the party the cap
tain, came into the house with his gun
cooked and presented it towards her
brother Amos. She called to him and

shot guns and one single.barrelled one.
Gary took the Gwo double-barrelled ones
out into the yard. Barton stood in the
house cursing and swearing, and said
that if he knew that these guns had been
at his house, lat the time Redmond and
his party captured him, he would break
them all to pieces. He then went out
taking the guns with him. After awhile
both Barton and Gary returned with the
guns and replaced them in the corner.
They then told me to tell Redmond they
had been to see him and hoped he would
call on them again, and they then rode
of. About an hour after they left, two
of my sons came in, and when told
them the officers had been there, and had
taken the guns out of the house, they e1-
amined them aad found them bent and
broken and rendered utterly unfit for
use. They showed me no authority for
searching the house. On the 18th day
of April, 1878, as was returning home,
Gary, Springs and ten other men passed
me in the road. I hurried on to keep up
with them, when I saw Gary and two
Others cross my field, and heard them
shoot twice; they then threw down my
fence and passed upon the ridge and shot
twice more. They were shooting at my
son. After the second shot he ran and
escaped. They then returned to my
house, and some one asked Gary what he
was shooting at, and he replied, at Red

about there, and that it was my son they
were shooting at. Gary said it made no

who execute them in my district as out

The editorial fraternity of South Car

truth-loving citizens as can be found in
the United States. Latterly, scarcely q
paper received from that State but that
narrates some desperate act committed
by these men, not in accordance with
law, but in defiance of law. Only as late
as the 9th. of the present month four of
these revenue officials went to the house
of widow lady living in mountainous
section of the district / have the honor
to represent, and brutally murdered her
son, a young man. of twenty years of age.
I take the following extract from the
newspaper published at the county seat
of the county in which this deed was
committed:
"It appears that the young man was
standing, or rather leaning, against the
door.facing when the revenue officers
rode up, or walked up, 1--WE believe they
were walking, and deliberately shot him
dead on the spot, without a moments
warning or an intimation of their de-
signs. The young man fell out of the
door lifeless, when the officials said to
reply was, you have shot my brother
The officers then turned and left the
house, but concealed themselves on a
small hill near the house in the brush,
and remained there for some time, for
what purpose it is not known. They
then went to the store of Mr.. King, some
four miles of, where they endeavored to
hire a conveyance to Easley Station.
Mr. King told them that he, could not
carry them that evening, but if they

WAITING FOR PAPA.

Up ut the window are three little peppers,
Ruth and Ross and two-year-old Reta.
What are they doing there all in a row,
Bobbing up, bobbIng down, every way so
Watching for papa to come hometo tea,
Dear is their papa John to all of the three;
Which pair of little eyes, sparkling and
bright,
Think You will be first TO see him tonight?
Harlx who is that now whose footsteps they
hear?
Far out are hesds stretched to see him draw
near;
Somebody's papa, perhaps, but not their'e-
Up at the three eager faces he stares.
Back from the window hobs each little
pepper,
aPapa make haste now" says dear baby
Reta;
Now they all see him just coming in sight {;
Hank, how they clap hands and scream with
delight.
Happy at last, not moment they wait,
Laughing and shouting they run to the gate,
JoyfuIy abrother John" the little troop
meets,
Each rosy mouth with glad kisses he greets.
Up in his strong arms he takes little Reta,
Ross and Ruth go, dancing fieeter;
Into the house now all four of them come,
Mama stands smiling her bright welcome
home.
Pulling and Juggling they make him sit
down,
One brings his slippers, another his gown;
Round him they hover and chatter with
glee,.
While they are waiting the summons TO tea.
Little they know how their sweet, loving
ways,
Comfort him after the wearisome days;
Arms full and lap full of dear little pets,
All Of his worries and cares he fOrgets.

Stick to the Democracy.

The Republicans of Tennessee
will convene at Nashville on the
22d and nominate a man for Gov
ernor. They feel considerably en-
Outraged at the defeat of the Demo-
cratic nominees in Davidson and
Shelby counties by the Independ-
ents, and think that the split in the
Democratic ranks on the question
of finances will give them Il chance
to elect a Governor. We are sorry
to see this new party movement,
and fear that it will work to the
detriment of Democracy in the
coming Gubernatorial campaign.
The Republican party is looking
to and relying upon this movement
as the sole hope Of breaking into our
ranks, and 1T behooves us to be ON
the alert. No patriotic citizen can
fail to see that this is emphatically
the time to hold fast to the Demo-
cratic party. The man who wan
ders off after strange gods, after a
long term of faithful service is evil
IDENTIFY short-sighted. He will serve
neither himself nor his party. Let
no man throw away his ballot on
Independents, but let every Demo
crat cling to the Democracy and i;
will never be regretted.

AReautIfuI AIIegOry.

Mr.. Orittenden, of Kentucky, was
once engaged in defending a man
who had been indicted for capital
ofTense. After an elaborate and
powerful argument, he closed his
effort with the following beautiful
and striking allegOry:
"When God in his eternal council
conceived the thought of mans ere
alton, he called to him the three
ministers who wait constantly upon
the thrOne-Justice, Truth and Mer-
cy, and thus addressed them:
Shall we make man p Then
said Justice: so God, make him
not, for he will trample on thy laws.
Truth made mn answer also: 20
God, make him not, for he will pol
lutte thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy,
dropping upon her knees, looking
up through her tears, exclaimed, 20
God, make him l will watch over
him with my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to
tread.' Then God made man, and
said to him, 20 man, thou art the
child of Mercy; go and deal with

Girls All Talk alike.

Girls all talk alike about marry
ing, as though it were a jubilee, a
gladstone thing, rose without a
thorn, and so it is if it is all right,
if they go about it rs rational be-
ings instead of merry-making chill
dren. 1t is a serious thing to marry.
1t is a life business.
Therefore never do it in haste !;
never run away to get married !;
never marry for wealth and stand
ing, or fine person or manners, but
for both, for the qualities of mind
and heart which make an honor
able man.
Take time, think long and well
before you accept any proposal !;
consult your parents, then some

Judgment, Learn all that is pos
sible to learn of your proposed hus-
band. When all doubts have been
removed, and not till then, accept

water from a well, was thrown into

The water was deep. but she man
aged to keep her head above the
surface by clinging to the pump

dog, faithful and intelligent ami

in. Mrs, French asked him, as
she would have asked a human be-
ing, if he could not get help. The
dog took in the situation instantly,
and bounded away towards the hay
field where Mr.. French wasat work.
Arriving there he made a terrible
uprOar, and persisted in his wild
actions, until Mr.. French, fearing
that something had happened, fol-
lowed him to the well, and saved

AR0stOm Sensation.

The marriage of q blue-blOOded
Boston aristocrat to one of the black
est of Chicago negresses has just
come to light and caused sensation
at the Club" Augustus q. Bartlett,
whose mother lives in an elegant
residence in a fashionable quarter
of the city, visited Chicago about
1872, and, falling sick, was care
fully nursed by Mrs. Martha Kemp,
the sable keeper of his lodging
house, who was also the prOprietreSs
of Il tlourishing laundry. While
cOnvalescing, in the depth of his
gratitude, Bartlett proposed to wed
his benefuctOr. She laughed at the
absurdity, but her prejudices were
dissolved by the ardent protestations
of her lover and the nuptials were
celebrated. a beautiful boy was
born to them, but he died, and soon
after the husband started off on his
travels, Ostensibly to seek work.
Once or twice when he got in tight
places his wife sent him money, but
h6 finally deserted her and went to
Boston. Wishing to get rid of his
unfortunate marriage he sought a
divorce and learned that, according
to the laws of Illionis, which forbid
amalgamation of the races, there
was 20 marriage. Mrs. Kemp has
followed him to Boston, however,
and is making Ii decidedly unpleas-
ant for his heightened relations, who
think he must have been crazy

Louisville Industrial Exposition.

Louisville industrial Exposition.
The Sixth annual Exposition of
Louisville will open on the 3rd day
of September and continue till the
18th of October. The attractions
and pleasures that will be offered
promise to exceed in variety and
excellence those of any former eX-
hibitiOn held in Louisville. The
Secretary has visited prominent
points In the East and has secured
many articles of real merit which
have not been exhibited before,
altogether offering an entertainment
of great merit, that will be instruc-
tive, pleasing and amusing to the
masses.
Here all classes of inventions will
be found and every late and novel
improvement of the age will be ex-
hibited f; the natural products of the
earth, and especially the Goals and
minerals of Kentucky will form an
interesting feature of the Exposition.
1t is well known that the Art De-
partmeat of the Louisville EXPOSE
ton has always been made up of
the best paintings the country can
produce and in this respect the
coming Exhibition will not be in
feriOr TO former ones.
Many new attractions and novel
ties will be offered in the Natural
History Department which will be
enriched by contributions from
many of our most noted museums.
The railroads and steamboat lines
have as usual offered to carry WISH
tors ut greatly reduced rates, and
the cheap transportation together
with the excellent hotel accommo-
dations which the city affords and
thAmany attractions in the Falls
City will induce many of our read
ers to make the trip. 1t is a good
place to go once a year to see friends
and learn something of the progress
the world is making.

How to stop Your Paper.

Occasionally, when for some reas-
on Of financial or personal charap-
ter, individuals wish to stop their
papers, and in most cases they re-
turn to the mail carrier with instruc-
tions not to deliver them any more,
thus assuming that he is the agent
of the newspaper, which he is not.
The proper way is to call at the pub
LEGATION Office, settle arrearages, and
order the paper discontinued. When
orders to discontinue are sent by
mail, are not regarded, the reason
invariably is that there is an I'M
paid balance, which should be set

ACandidate,s Lament

The Editor of the Upton Record,
who was an unsuccessful candidate
at the recent election, thus expresses
the feeling of quite number of his
felloW-sufferers. He says:
Among many other merits that
our system of elections undoubtedly
possesses, it has the browning mer-
it of making even the rudest man a
very Chesterfield for the time being;
of making the stingy man generous,
the selfish man charitable. How
many Of the disappointed candi-
dates will look back with regret to
the money which they have been
forced to subscribe to churches and
to the claims of charity which pre-
sent themselves almost daily ? How
many will utter curse when they
think of the kisses---"Seals of love
but sealed in vain"---that they have
given to dirty-faced babies ? We
pause for a reply. Don't all speak
at once, gentlemen.

Isthe CnnntrH Poor

1t Is not true that the country is
poor, and here are proofs of the false
hood of this cheap assertion There
is of late large increase in the in
ternal revenue receipts, one Of the
Surest signs of increasing prosperity,
for the internal revenue collections
mark the condition of many of the
most important branches of trade
and production. There is a large
increase in the savings banks depOs-
its. These amounted, for the whole
country, in 1873, the period Of great
sO-called prosperity, to $50, 00O, 000y
they had risen at the beginning of
last year to 1911 600, 600, and there
still increasing. But besides this,
since last February, thirty-seven
millions of the fOur-per-cents have
been taken up by the people, and a
large part Of these in registered
bonds 0fsmall denominations, which
represent the savings of farmers,
mechanics and clerks. That is one
of the surest evidences of general
comfort. That there have been in
the same period a great many bust
ness failures, denotes only that there
have been good many traders
without sufficient capital and Il good
many spectators, who have been
''holdipg on" until their means are
exhausted, or whose bankruptcy
was fastened by the threat of Con-
gress to repeal the bankrupt law
