1t is Terrible.
Mannhis IRdpnr-

One phase in the condition of the
plague-smitten Southern cities is
scarcely realized at the North, even
with the daily descriptions given in
the papers of the distress prevailing
there. All industries have ceased.
The stores are closed, the factories
are not running, Wharves and de-
pots are deserted, for boats and
trains neither arrive or depart, so
that means for earning their daily
bread is taken away from those who
are not stricken with the fever.
They have all the hours of the long,
long days to listen to the rumbling
of the dead cart as it passes to and
fro with its lifeless burdens, and the
broOding over the terrors that ill
each moment with gathering de-
spair, only makes them more liable
to be seized with the fever. Work
is the panacea for many evils, and
at such times as these, if the head
and hands are occupied the danger
is diminished tenfold. And beside
the agony of brooding over the pes
thence, hundreds and thousands Of
these people have nothing to live
upon. Their money is gone, and
they can earn no more. Even if
they could the store of provisions is
exhausted. Markets are closed I;
market wagons have ceased to come
in from the country. Everything
brought to these cities now is sent
from the North for charity's sweet
sake, and the cry is for more. With
all the efforts of the sympathizing
people, enough has not been sup
piled to prevent suffering from
hunger. Much has been done, and
much remains to be done.

Death Of Gen. PILLOW.

Gen. Gideon J. Pillow died few
days ago at his place, known as tn.
Mound plantation, seventeen miles
above Helena, Ark, of congestion
of the stomach. The following We
clip from the Nashville American
Gen. Pillow was born in William.
son county, June 8, 1906. He grad.
uated at the University of Nashville
| in class of 1927, studied law and
began the practice of his profession
at Columbia. In 1914 he was a
delegate to the Democratic National
Convention at Baltimore, where he
aided largely in gaining the Presi-
dental nomination of Mr.. Polk.
When the war with Mexico broke
out, in 1916, he was made a Briga-
dier General of Volunteers, and,
after serving under Gen. Taylor,
was ordered to join Gen. Scott, at
Vera Cruz. He was soon made
second in command to Gen. Scott.
He was twice wounded i'm the Mex
lean war.
Gen. Pillow was the confidential
adviser and agent of President Polk,
with whom he had been law part
ner, and probably but for the fact
that he was suffering from wound
and fever, the boundary line, as
now existing between the United
States and Mexico, would not have
been established. He was i'm favor
of the Sierra Madre line and what
has since become known to some as
"PilloW's line" He took a gallant
part in the battle of Vera Cruz,
Cerro Gordo, Cherubusco, Chepulte-
pee and MOlino del Rey. After the
close of the war he was arrested
upon charges of INSTRUMENTATION,
preferred by Gen. Scott, was tried
by court-martial and acquitted. He
then resumed the practice of his
profession at Columbia. At that
time Gen. Pillow was a large slave
holder and wealthy planter, having
in Tennessee and Arkansas between |
four and five hundred slaves.
In 1857 he was candidate for the /
Democratic nomination for United |
States Senator, but was defeated i'm
the canvass by the Hon. A. o. p.
Nicholson. AT the opening of the /
late civil war he entered the Con- /
federate service, commanded at the |
battle of Belmont, Mo-, Nov. z, 1861, /
and was second in command under |
Gen. Floyd at Fort DonelsOn i'm
Feb. 1862. Gen. Floyd, refusing to
perform the act of surrender, handed /
over the command to Gen. Pillow,
who made it over to Buckner, who
the fort, Gems. Floyd
and Pillow escaping with a portion
of their men. Gen. Pillow was re-
lieved of his command, but subse-
1uently served under Gen. Beaure-
gard in the Southwest, and was
made Major General commanding
the Tennessee State forces.
After the war he resided in Mem
phis, practicing law there, and went
to his plantation at the breaking
put of the yellow fever epidemic in
Memphis.
Gen. Pillow was the nephew of
Col. William Pillow, famed in the
Indian wars of the early part of the
and aid-de-camp upon the
staff of Gen. Jackson at the battle of
New Orleans. His father, Gideon
Pillow, was one of the first settlers
If Tennessee. The deceased was a
brother Of Mrs. Gov. Aaron V.
Brown, of this vicinity, and OF Mai.
Jerome B. Pillow, and the late Maj.
Granville A. Pillow, former wealthy
planters of Maury county.

These latter they opened when at

trade, they undertook to play ut

ALWAYS the cards furnished by the

Wen who Make Journalists.

IL has been remarked that very
few men who get into Journalism
start out with such Intentions.
They drift in accidentally and are
promoted as they develop capacity.
Money, wealthy parents and intlu-
ence are of no sort of service in get
ting young man place on a news
paper. There is no business that is
so essentially independent OF these
considerations rs this. A wealthy
farmer can easily get his son lOca-
ton to read law, medicine, or push
him forward i'm almost any rank OF
life he may select but he Is utterly
powerless to do anything for him In
a journalistic way. 10 be sure he
may buy newspaper, and set him
up i'm that way, but unless there Is
something i'm him called journal
istic knack," natural knowledge
of what TO write and how to write
it, he will be a failure i'm that line,
and all the money and influence of
wealth and perhaps powerful rela-
tives will count for nothing. Some
fond parents educate their sons with
the special view Of making Journal
lists Of them but il is rare that we
hear of these young men after n few
years. Meanwhile, some youth
born among our hills, having moth
ing more than a cOmno on school ed
ucation, and the knowledge scraped
up in country printing office, will
advance to the front rank In the
profession. He has the journalistic
knack, and forces recognition be-
cause he has il. Hegets into n good
position not because he has wealthy
parents to influence the proprietors
of leading newspapers, but because
he knows what TO write and how 90
