lumbia telegram TO the Neaos and
Eourier, dated March 10, says
McEvoy, the Aiken murderer,
who is to be hanged pext Friday,
having stated to the jailor on Sntur
day last that he was present at tho
murder of young Sawyer at Ridge
Spring, four years ago, and knows
tho three men who shot him and
fired his store, and having also con
fessed knowledge of the facts of
the killing of young Arthur, near
Aiken, about the same time, an
effort will be made tomorrow to
have the Governor respite him, in
order, if possible, to induce the
condemned man to make full con-
fession. Arthur, it will be remem-
bered, was found dead, having been
placed on the railrad track for the
evident purpose of having his body
mutilated by passing train in
order to conceal the manner of his
death. Both of these murders have
been shrouded in mystery since
their first discovery.

The new county move spoken of il
last weeks Journal IS still being agila'
ted A correspondent Of the Nashvi!l,
Banner, writing from Moffatl. says
there is quite an. snterest being mani.
tested in that section over the subject,
and adds:
Since the decision of the Supreme
Court, declaring the county site OF
Grundy to be at Altamont, it is
thought by the. people Of portions OF
Marion, Franklin, Coffee and Grundy
counties that for their interest and
convenience. as well as for the interest
of the State, a new county might prop
erly be formed without any material
injury to the above named counties.
The greatest disadvantage would be to
Grundy; but since the assurance Of
the return OF the county site TO Alta
mont, there is move on the par: of
the citizens OF Hubbard's and Northve
Coves to return to Grundy county,
they having left it, as l understand,
when the county site was removed to
Tracy City. Their return will make
Grundy almost as strong after the for-
nation Of the new county as i. now is.
The new county. rs it is being map,
ped out, will embrace about three hun
dred and twenty-five square miles, and
will contain between $50 and 500 quail
fled voters.
There will be left to each OF the
above counties the constitutional num-
Der Of square miles.
The Inconvenience of attending
court at the various county sites, and
a general Improvement on the noun
tain are among the reasons moving the
people to petition. There are people,
a god many Of them, in the proposed
county who live twenty and twenty.
i've miles from the site of either o. tue
above counties. The name of Lev, in
honor of Judge John NJ. Lea, of Nash.
vile, is proposed. I see in your list
Of the counties OF the State there is
zone OF that name.
! can hear of but two men who op.
BOSE the move, aud they live outside Of
'ur lines. II party we're proposing
o move to Africa there would be some
o oppose it.
Petitions are being circulated, and,

Fish Culture In Tennessee
From the Forest aud Stream.l

Geo, +. Akcrs, State Fish Commis>
sloner OF Tennessee, seems an .nerget.
ic ofIlclnl but his Efforts do not appear
to be fully sustained, as will appear
from the following plea which we find
in the Nashville American:
"By proper game laws the whole
region from Nashville TO the Tennes-
see river nigh. DO perpetually filed
with game, not only sufficient for the
wants and diversion OF the population,
but an overplus for export. There
are numbers of streams well suited to
the propagation Of the best varieties
Of food fish, passing through this sec
ton, tributaries OF the Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers. Just now the wa
tiers are too low and clear to afford
good angling, Hence it is only occa-
sionally that We are able to strike u
"holc" that rewards our efforts. Yet
| find game fish more abundant in this
stream than any have visited for
years, The reason for this is II ID less
seiucd and gisged and trapped than
any other Middle Tennessee stream
that l know. This nsurcs u far
chance for the fish TO multiply. flour
Legislature will give US effective fish
laws. and furnish the comparatively
small means necessary to stocking the
streams that are now almost without
fish, in very few years there would
be an ample supply. This is an i'm
portan. question, aud l hope, by the
aid Of tina press and Of public senti
mcnt, to obtain from the Legislature
recently elected an appropriation and
the passage Of stringent laws for the
protection Of fish and gamc--if not
throughout the State, then, at least for
all such counties as may desire. AS
Fish Commissioner, appointed by the
Governor, | am free to say that with
out protective laws, and without money
TO pay for restocking our streams. !

respect for the general pubic good.
