HOW 1T WAS DONE.
'COlOnel" w. Nj. Randolph Tells
a Chicago Reporter.

W. M. Randolph, late of the state
Of Arkansas, but more recently a
republican who proposes as a lawyer
to bring the people of Memphis to his
feet, has been interviewed, doubtless
at his own suggestion, by the Chicago
Times, in regard to the late Shelby
county election, which, no doubt,
called up the sad memory Of his de-
feat for congress. We make room for
an extract:
Mr.. Randolph proceeded to tell how
it was that a city with ten thousand
voters, and four thousand of these
black, would poll such a large demo-
cratic majority. There are two en-.
frances to the building where the
ballot box is kept, and through one OF
these none but whites are admitted.
and through the other none but blacks
AS soon as the polls open in the morn.
ing half a dozen burly democrats sta
ton themselves near the ballot-box on
the niger" side, and when one of
these black sons Of toll makes his
appearance these six democratic guar.
dians Of the nations interest of course
know that within his hand there is a
republican ballot. There is no level
ing revolvers at his head, and no clubs
used, as generally thoughtin the north.
The custom is to challenge" the ne
gro's vote, and while three hundred
are waiting outside a long series of
questions is asked the "kinky hairedn
freeman, as he stands trembling be-
tore the Judge. The questions asked
are something like the following =;
what's your name?" where do
you liver who was your father 2"
Who was your mother ?" "Wbo
owned you before the war 2" "Name
ten men who live on the same street
with your" And so on for over a
quarter Of an hour are questions pour-
ed In aud answered, simply To kill
time. At the usual rate about FIVE
negro votes are polled in an hour.
while several hundred who have wait
ed outside for hours finally 20 away.
as they see there is no chance for
them to vote. Thus it is that where
four hundred republican votes sbould
be cast there are less than n hun-
bred. Mr.. Randolph says Il is not
unusual to find a packet of twenty.
i've democratic ballots in the boy
fresh from the press. In 1876 quite a
prominent democrat, who was emf.
neering the ballot-box, overstepped
the bounds Of caution and was finally
sentenced to a term in prison, but he
was pardoned after serving only about
a year, and has promised never to do
so any more.

THERE is a community of interest
and common welfare in Memphis
which always brings the solid element:
together in the face of anypublic dan,
ger. Good common sense prevails
and the best means are adopted to gel
out ola difficulty. Just now there
is a division in the democratic party,
which, if continued long enough,
might permit the republicans to elect
ten members Of the next legislature.
Shelby county is essentially demo-
cratic. The democrats pay the great
bulk of the taxes, hold some of the
Offices and occasionally vote their full
strength. This, however, is only on
rare occasions, when there is a neces-
sity for it. We are divided as between
Wilson and Wright, but will all vote
for Hancock and English, for one
congressional candidate it is presum.
ed, and doubtless for the same legis-
lative ticket. There is no good rea-
son why we should not come together.
If the high tax managers at Nash
vile had only conceded the point of
submitting the state debt settlement
to the people, there would have been
no division and no bolt. The Shelby
delegation, almost to a man, was will
ing and ready to vote for this reason
able concession, but never had
the opportunity. They remained, but
with a silent protest in their hearts
against the high-handed proceedings.
The voice Of these men will be for a
united democratic vote on a legisla-
tive ticket, as we believe. Wilson
will carry this county, but this is no
reason why his wing Of the party
should become dictatorial and arro-
CANT. Let us rather set an exam
pie of fairness, prudence and business
sense. As far as we can speak for the
low tax element, we undertake to say
that no humiliating concessions are
demanded Of eur high credit breth-
rem. The most Of them thought the
question should be submitted to the
people, but their respect for party
discipline and anxiety to keep the
party together, kept them from leav-
ing the convention. We respect their
feelings and their motives, and we
can assure them that if we do not all
unite on one democratic ticket it will
not be the fault of the Wilson demo-
Gratis. The terms we would make are
reasonable and will not be rejected by
any cool, thoughtful man. We look
for common sense and conservatism
on both sides.

man of destiny. Why, just look at the
record. In 1868 Garfield brought a
bill into congress to drop the junior
major general. That was Hancock.
1t passed both houses of congress and
was signed by the president. But be-
fore it could be carried into effect
George 81. Thomas, the senior major
general, died, and Hancock, going up
one grade, was no longer the Junior
major general, and so the law could
not reach him. Then the republicans,
still led by Garfield, passed an act re-
ducing the major generals to three.
This was signed by the president, but
before it could be carried into effect
Meade died, and then the major gem
erals were then reduced to three by
God Almighty. Finally, a law was
passed authorizing the president to
drop one of the major generals. Be-
fore it could be carried out and Han
cock be dropped, Halleck died, and
Hancock becoming the senior major
general, he could not be dropped.
The man who survived all these at
tempts to retire him cannot be retired.
The man who led them, Garfield, will,
as a fitting consummation of his act,
fall a victim to his intended victim.
Hancock will be elected president.
Garfield will be retired, at least from
the presidential field Jour
nal.

AN U

Is it true that real estate, not ex-
ceeding one thousand dollars in
value, is exempt. from taxation?
The high tax candidate for COVER
nor so declares in his speeches. It is
echoed by his supporters. No such
exempture exists. Let the people be-
ware of such misleading statements.
If made in ignorance Of the provision
Of the constitution on the subject, it is
a bad showing for the candidate and
his followers. II done by design, it is
worse.
Sec. % Art. 2 of the constitution
reads "All property, real, personal
and mixed, shall be taxed. but the
legislature may except such as may be
held by the state, by counties, cite.
or towns, and used exclusively fol
public or corporation purposes, and
such as may be held and used fol
Purposes, purely religious, charitable
scientific, literary or educational; and
shall, except one thousand dollars
worth Of PERSONAL property, in the
hands Of each taxpayer, and the direct
products Of the soil in the hands Of
the producer, and his immediate len.
dee. The exemption is as to p%ersonali-
ty and not realty. Bring in another
horse"

Nerve Power.

Few people suffer so much nervous
exhaustion as newspaper editors. The
wear and tear Of getting out a good
paper tell fearfully, and readers sell
dom know how much vital force a
single item may have cost the one who
wrote it. Editors have often been
driven to drink in order to stimulate
their exhausted faculties, but of late
are using Warmers Safe Nervine in
stead. This valuable preparation acts
as a soothing power, quieting the
nerves and producing sleep with all
the refreshment that it brings.

Figuring on a Frog.
Border Minstrel.I

Border MINSTREL
Colonel John Caldwell tells an anec-
dete we'll. He applies the following
to the radical party: An old-feld
Schoolmaster had among his pupils a
sprightly boy who had figured through
the double rule Of three, and who
thought be could work almost any
sum the teacher could give him. One
Friday evening he called the boy up
and told him he had a sum for him to
work-which was this: "In a we'll
forty feet deep there is a frog, and
this frog jumps ten feet up every day
and falls back twenty feet every
night; how long will it take the frog to
get out of the well?"
The boy said he would take it home
with him and bring the answer Mon
day morning. Accordingly, on Mon
day he came into the schoolhouse with
both sides Of his slate covered with
figures and his copy-book figured all
over. In addition to all this he had
several shingles under his arm, and
they were also full Of figures.
The old teacher asked him if he
had been at work on the sum, and if
SO, where is the frog now?"
The boy replied hal the frog was
now in three quarters of a mile Of
hell, and still jumping in that direc-
ton.

PARIS, August pam audacious
robbery was committed this morning
at Courneuve, near st. Denis.
Thieves broke into the bedroom of
Generel Schramm, a veteran of the
Napoleonic campaigns, and while its
inmate slept emptied all the drawers
and carried off securities of an esti-
mated value Of 10000, francs.
The police are on their track.
VERY OLD CAMPAIGNER.
This incident will bring once more
before the public eye the long forgot
ten name Of one Of the first Napoleon's
bravest generals. To the present gem
Grafton it will be nothing but a name.
The Comte de Schramm was made
lieutenant on the field of Austerlitz,
captain at the siege Of Danztic, chef
de battalion at Wagram and colonel
within sight Of the burning Moscow.
1t was he whose valiant charge gave
the victory to Napoleon at Lutzen,
who captured the enemy's gun before
Dresden, and who cut off the Aus
trian retreat at Pima. On September
|26, 1913, he received the rank Of
brigadier general, and he was only "a
years old. After Waterloo, faithful
to Napoleon's memory, he would
serve no more. The restoration of
1880 brought him back to his com
mand, to cross swords with Abd-el-
Kader in Algeria and lead the assault
of Mouzaia. The king made him a
count and the people made him a rep
resentative. He was a staunch CON
sentative of the old school and though
he handled a portfolio a very little
time under the second republic he
had no sort Of sympathy with republi-
can ideas. So he. withdrew long ago
to the quietude of his home at st.
Denis, where, far from the noise of
political strife, he could tell his chill
dren's children of the valor of the
Little Corporal" and be content to
hide his own achievements under the
shadow of hat great name for, if
the count is the oldest general in
France, he is also one Of the most
modest.
