Gov. Mcclellan has written a
letter to the Hancock Veteran club
in Plainfeld, N. j., as follows: 81 am
very glad, and not at all surprised, to
learn that so many of your old COM
rades are going to support General
Hancock. The general did SO much
to insure the success of the war,
knew SO we'll what it was for,
and perceived so clearly when
it was over the he deserves
the hearty and enthusiastic assistance
of all the old soldiers. That he will
receive the support of the great ma
jority of them | do not doubt. /
trust that the minority in this state
will be too small to be counted, and
that we shall all work with the ut
most energy for the success of our
gallant comrade."

Let Hancock be Shot at Once.
Philadelphia Timesl
The most frantic suggestion yet
made by any Of the organs is that
General Hancock, if he should zen.
dorse" the democratic platform,
which speaks in uncomplimentary
terms of President Hayes, is to be
eourt-martialed for traducing his su-
perior officer, the commander-in chief.
1t is well known that General Grant,
when he accepted nomination in
1868 upon a platform which accused
President johnson Of having acted
treacherously to the people who
elected him." of having "usurped
high legislative and judicial func-
tions;" refused to execute the laws"
perverted the public patronage, " and
done various other things that caused
him to be Justly impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors and prop
erly pronounced guilty thereof by the
vote Of thirty-five senators" was
Immediately tried by military court
and sentenced to be hanged" That
the sentence was not executed was
owing to the disloyalty of General
Hancock and other West Pointers,
who insisted upon subordinating the
military to the civil power; but Han
cock cannot expect to escape so easily.
He should be led out at once and
shot.

There is considerable typhoid fever
in Brownsville and vicinity.

The first engineer of the Rhenish
railway, which has longest experience
In steel rails, presents important facts
as to the economy of steel over iron
rails, according to which the average
duration of steel rails, where twenty
four trains pass over them
every day, is thirty years, whilst that
of iron rails, with traffic of seven
teen trains, is eleven years, The cal
culation shows that steel rails last
four times as long as iron rails.

expensive.

The Late Colonel Jett.

The Mason Call of this week pays
the following merited tribute to a
prominent citizen of West Tennessee
who passed away a few days ago.
Colonel j. f. Jett, whose death oc.
CURED last Saturday, July 1lth, at
the residence of Alfred Boyd, ir., was
born in King George county, Va.
March q, 1909. He moved to West
Tennessee and settled in Brownsville
in 1896. Afterward he was a success
ful planter in Lauderdale county; and
in 1874 he took an agency for the large
cotton house of Wright, Williams &
Co., OF Neg Orleans, which enabled
him to form the acquaintance of most
Of the best men in West Tennessee and
North Miss ssippi, many of whom will
regret to hear of his death. Colonel
Jett had been an invalid for several
years previous to his death, but bore
his suferings quietly and patiently
and with that fortitude which charac-
terizes the true Christian. He was a
member of Trinity Episcopal) church,
and always took the deepest interest
in church affairs. His hand was al
ways open to give to charity, and
probably Mason never claimed a more
cheerful giyer. 1t was his open
hearted generosity that secured the
erection of Trinity church, he having
paid more than half the cost of con-
struction. He left an estate valued
at $4,000, which he, by will, left to
his relatives, after donating $3.50 to
the Church Home Of Memphis. and
$3.50 toward repairing the Trinity
burying ground.

THE true inwardness of that com
munication mis-signed Southern
Democrat" has not come out yet. The
real author is still in the background,
and is ashamed to own the surrepti-
tious underhanded part he played
Shut Gill up in well ventilated room
with writing material, on condition
that he could not get anything to eat
until he would write another commu-
nication like that of Sunday morning,
and he would starve to
death. Behind his narrow shoul-
ders stalwart republican has
taken refuge with several apollo
gists on the streets to explain the
sarcasm" away. Gill is a mere log,
painted to resemble wooden gun and
screen the author who sinks in the
rear as he did in the war doubtless and
would again in any transaction involv-
ing personal responsibility. The cir
cumstance merely notifies us to look
out for ourselves; that there
are men in our midst, but
not of us, who cherish hatreds that
we leng since numbered with the
things that should be forgotten. 1t
will not be inappropriate to express
in public meeting or through
the press the predominant
sentiment of the people.
We have a right to resent and de-
nounce the means resorted to by
those who anonymously attribute dia-
bolical sentiments to the people of
this community. If the business
men see proper irrespective of
party to take any action in regard to
the matter, they will be more than
justified by the peculiar aggravation
thrust upon them. A number have
united in call for such meeting; if
held, we hope it will be dignifed,
earnest and outspoken. This is no
time for fun or mincing words
as long as the republicans
seek to humiliate and insult the in
telligence and respectability of Shelby
county by supporting Ed Shaw for
sheriff they place themselves outside
of the pale of common courtesy and
decency. Let those whom the shoe
\ fits wear it. We throw it down to
them alone.

Killed for Talking to Another
NegrO's Wife.

The Brownsville States of this
week says: A rumOr reached the
city last Saturday morning that a ne
gro was killed the evening before on
the farm of Colonel S. NJ. Sweet, be-
tween Stanton depot and Daneyville.
Later in the day the following partic.
ulars were received of the killing:
Near nightfall Friday evening Wash
Sweet returned from his labor to his
home, where be found Henry Haw-
kins, who was talking to his (Wash's)
wife. Henry's conduct not being sat
isfactory to Wash, the latter began
advising him to leave at once. One
word brought on another, until Henry
seized a gun and attemp ed to shoot
Wash, who managed to wrest it from
his { (Heury's) hands, and while Henry
was trying to get it from him, Wash
shot him in the breast. The shot
proved fatal, and Henry died in a few
minutes. Wash was taken before
Esqure McMahon, who, upon hearing
the facts, bound him over to court
under a bond of three hundred dol
lars. From all we can learn it is evi.
dent that the killing was done in self
defense.

COTTON PROSPECTS.

Despite a few grumblers, who be-

also scattering fact-hiders, the reports
