EXECUTIVE INTERFERENCE.
Gov. Marks Refuses to Deliver Dan.
Smith, the. Negro Ravisher, to
the Sheriff, Until the Meeting
Of the Circuit Court,

In compliance with his promise
to the people Of the southern part
OF the county. Sheriff Arrowsmith
went TO Nashville last week for the
purpose of bringing back Dap
Smith, the negro ravisher. He was
met at the depot by Mr.. w. j.
Blassingim, who had been appointed
to accompany him by the citizens $
Indignation meeting, and the two
proceeded to the Davidson county
jail, where the sheriff demanded
his prisoner. The jailer replied
that he had received positive in
structions from Gov. Marks not to
deliver the negro to any one except
upon an order from the Executive
office. The sheriff and Mr.. Blassin-
GIN then called on Gov. Marks, vino
Informed them that unless they
were prepared to vouch absolutely
for the security of the negro after
his arrival here, he would be com
PEELED to hold him in Nashville un
til The meeting Of the Giles county
circuit court in November. Sheriff
Arrowsmith replied that be was pre-
pared to vOuch for the good faith O,
every man in the southern part OF
the county who had signed the de
mand for the Negroes return and Mr..
Blassingim also expressed his will
ingness to assume responsibility to
tt at extent; but both gentlemen said
they were not prepared, of course,
to give a guarantee that would Gov
er every man in the county. Gov.
Marks then announced his inten-
ton of holding the negro, but said
that he would see that he was sent
here for trial in November. The
sheriff and Mr.. Blassingim were
obliged to content themselves with
this assurance, and leave for home
without the prisoner. Sheriff Ar
rowsmith's good faith in the matter
was thoroughly proved, as he did
everything in his power to recover
the negro. Mr.. Blasssingim was
thoroughly convinced of tits and we
understand so reported to his con
stituents. Only a short time will
elapse until the circuit court con-
venes, and we are confident that the
libidinous brute, whose atrocious
crime has excited such general indig
nation, will then be brought tC trial
without any unnecessary delay, and
we hope summarily punished.

interest in the state debt and Gar
field than ever before. He gave
facts as they were and no doubt all
left the house that night thinking
it was time well spent. The ladies
concluded that the speakers were
so entirely absorbed in themselves
that they forgot to say a word to
them, but we think they were too
honest. They believe that politics
are demOralizing, and they do not
want the ladies taking any part in
them.

BRADFIELD's FEMALE REGULATOR
We have often read in the newspapers
OF the grand success of medical COM
pounds put up at the north and else
where. Many of those medicines have
had their day, and we hear no more of
them. Their prOprietOrs have made
fortunes, not so much from the curative
powers and virtues of their mixtures, as
from tie notoriety given them by adj
vertising, by which people were made
TO believe all the good that was said of
them. \ preparation is now before the
public which is becoming very popular,
and is known as Bradield's Female Reg
ulator, put up r.. Or. j. Brad field, of
Atlanta, Ga, al 20 per bottle. Such
are its curative .. .ues that it has gain
ed widespread popularity all over the
country where il has been made known,
and il is being introduced everywhere.
We arc informed that immense quanti-
ties of this medicine are being sold 10
all sections of the south and southwest,
especially in the city of New Orleans
and in Texas.
This much we say in justice to iis

rity, and who would not engage in the
manufacture and sale of a humbug.-

There is an accumulation Of owe:
5000 bales of cotton at Nashville
owing to the want of cars.
The L. 81 n. railroad is receiving
additions TO its rolling stock at the
rate of % or 30 new cars daily.
Eight hundred cars are needed al

Mr.. L. H. Lasseter came out last
Saturday from Nashville, and re.

his new home.
Mr.. Val Rose, the genial and gen

Mr.. Dan Harrison IS now en-

The cash receipts at Pulaski sta

Mr.. Sterling Paine has been ap-

His business is to see that cars are
unloaded and loaded promptly by
agents and not allowed to remain
idle moment longer than necessary.
There never has been such q jam
in the railroad business before, and
the n. d. ID. division rs strained to
its utmost capacity to move the
freight offered, and from all points
comes the cry for more cars. The
bulk of the business is on south

There are three train dispatchers

We hope our low tax friends will

We hope our low tax friends will
turn out to hear Judge Wright next
Monday. We feel sure that many
Of them are open to conviction and
that none of them will refuse on the
ground of prejudice to hear a man
whose life has been devoted to the
maintenance of democratic princi-
pies. Judge Wright is justly re-
garded as one OF the finest speakers
in the south and as a forcible and
penetrating reasoner he has few, if
sny, equals. Besides, he discusses
the vital issues of the day in calm
aud temperate manner, with due re-
gard for the feelings Of those who
differ with him, and for that reason
we bespeak for him n patient hear
ing at the hands of our democratic
brethren whose sympathies are at
present enlisted on the side of Mr..
Wilson.

Midtown.

The political sentiments of many
people in this district, and in many
others, have changed from the Will
son to the Wright (right) ticket.
Several reasons have brought about
the change, some of which l will
give. Thoughtful men can't afford
TO vote a semi radical ticket; intel
ligent men will not vote a ticket
made up Of as weak material linen
tally) as the Wilson ticket is.
All of the above goes to show
that the political low-tax preten-
sion is a mere hobby for dis
appointed and disaffected place
hunters to ride into office upon.
We believe that two great parties
are essential and will ever be, but
more than two parties in this coun-
try Indicate that there are men who
having no hope of being put prom
inently forward by either of the old
parties seek refuge in a new organ
izatiOn.
The weather having been favora-
bic, cotton is opening beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine.
A week or two more of fine wealth
err and cotton and corn will have
been gathered.
The health of our community is
good. The sound of the hunts

dogs make the welkin ring these

4 STRANGE NESS !
Is the Democratic Stomach Suf-
ficiently Strong to Stand 1t? =

1t has been very common thing
for Mr.. Wilson's organs to charge
that the Wright wing of the par
ty, by virtue of the state credit
plank in their platform, were the
natural allies of the republicans,
but so far not single instance has
been recorded where the regular
democracy either sought or coun-
tenanced, directly or indirectly, any
bargain or compromise with the
common enemy. On the contrary,
while Mr.. Wilson was denouncing
the best democrats in the state
from every stump and remaining
painfully silent as to the dangerous
designs of republicanism, his com
petitor, Judge Wright, was left sin
gle-handed and alone to meet the
arch-plotter Hawkins and defend
the liberties of the people. Besides,
we challenge any man to produce a
republican who will vote for Wright
or for any candidate on the straight
ticket. How is it, on the other
hand? Are the low-taX candidates
repudiating republican support?-
Are they sternly refusing to mix
their names with the nominees OF
an organization which has left the
mark of its repressive measures on
every southern state? The answer
is at hand. Here is a republican
ticket, printed for distribution in
Giles county which was handed US
Tuesday by a gentleman who man
aged to procure one. Read it,
democrats.

On Tuesday next every democrat
will make a record by his vote, and
a solemn responsibility goes with it
when it is deposited in the ballot
box. That vote may decide the
fate of our beloved state for the
next ten years. If wrongly cast it
may cause the defeat of the demo-
cratic party on whose success the
liberties and the rights of the
people depend. Do not let 1T give
aid or comfort to the republicans
for they are our implacable and re
lentless enemies and their rule
means nothing short of utter ruin.
Vote for the regular nominee of
your party, and let the result be as
it may, you will at least have the
satisfaction of knowing that you
administered a rebuke to radical
ism.

any other motive than to support

more equally dividing the demo

The regular Republican ticket,
containing the names of the low-tax
candidates for Senator, Floater and
Representative, which we reprint in
full In to-days CITIZEN, created
quite sensation in the county, and
many were the comments on the
novel arrangement of bed fellows.
1t caused any number of honest
but misled democrats to open their
eyes and exclaim; "Can such
things be?" Close on the heels of the
exposure came the insinuation, FIR m
a low tax source, that the tickets
were printed at the CITIZEN office
for political effect. We repel this
covert charge with an absolute de
NAL and produce proof to the con
trary. These tickets were brought
here for distribution, already
printed, by a son Of Judge Hughes,
the republican candidate for con
gress Postmaster Lewis and Capt.

statement, and quite number Of
