THE most absurd. false and pmpoStcrous
charge that ever offended the ears OF honest
men is that which the little Republican
editors are now using as text from which
TO preach prosy sermons about the Demo
cratic bull-dozers Of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. The charge is that the whites Of the
States named are driving out the negroes,
with Bowie knives and shot-gunS. The
PRONUNCIATION OF such stupid charge, in
the face of the well known fact that the
whites of the South are employing every
known means except that OF force, to arrest
the exodus--is step so far in advance OF
average Republican mendaciy that the
more polite men Of the party refuse to
have any part or lot in the
matter Southern papers declare as
with one voice, that the negro migra,
ton, if continued, will prove ruinous to til,
planting interests. The prosperity Of the
south is based upon labor, and the negro
furnishes the labor. Realizing this truth
the promise of increased wages, moral sua
sion, bigger shares Of crops-have beer
employed by southern agricuturists, in the
hope OF inducing the blacks TO abandon
the Kansas madness and settle down a,
formerly. Upon the very "hcels" OF sucl
efforts as these, the charge 50 industrously
circulated by little Republican editors tha
the negroes are being driven out by knives
and shot guns, can have but one cllcc

than the most sanguine promoters of

The gross receipts of the road last
year were $1,000, 900, while the ope.

Twenty five trains are run every hour,
except between 4 and 6 in the after
noon, when thirty trains are ron per

ter.
In the summer Of 1888 the Third
United States Artillery, commanded
by Colonel Gates, was encamped
at the foot of Missionary Ridge, en-.
gagged in the removal of the Chero-
kee Indians. One day the Colonel
ordered out fatigue party to clean
out the spring, beautiful fountain
bubbling up at the foot of the ridge.
Shortly after the sergeant reported
TO headquarters that his men were
all drunk. Says the colonel, "You
should not have let the men drink
whisky" 81 did not" replied the
sergeant, "they drank nothing but
water from the spring." The SER
gsant and men were ordered into
the guard house and new detail
ordered and lieutenant placed in
command with orders not to let the
mon have access to any spirits. Not
long after the lieutenant reported
the men all drunk. The men were
ordered to the guard. house and the
lieutenant under arrest. Another
party was ordered out, Of which
Colonel Gates took the command.
He took seat on a stump so he
could overlook the whole ground,
determined there should be no get
ting drunk this time. But behold!
in q short time the men were all
drunk. He was certain they had
drank nothing but water, which they
frequently did, getting down on
their knees and drinking from a
branch just below the spring. The
colonel was at his wits end. The
men were ordered to the guard
house and he repaired to his tent to
think. After weighing the matter
pro and con he gave it up, and,
repairing to the guard house, he
told the men that ifthey would show
him how it WAS done he would re
lease them, otherwise he would
punish them severely. To this they
agreed and took him to the spring;
just below the spring in the branch
they uneartoed five gallon jug
partly filled with whisky. the mouth
of which was stopped with cork,
in which was inserted a quill that
reached to the bottom. When
buried in the sand the upper end of
the quill was just above the surface
of the water, and when they wanted
to drink they stopped down, in
serted the quill in their mouth, and
while apparently drinking pure wa
ter were drinking pure whisky, and
the colonel, sitting on the stump in
view, was none the wiser for it,
