Riddled and Triggered.
May VS.. July.
The Discussion at Conway Hall.

Last Tuesdoy evening our Funder
friends had Mr.. DANIEL TRIGd to meet
Senator RIpDLRBERaER at Conway Hall.
MR.. TRIo0 was to open In II speech of
one hour In favor Of the May ticket, and
MR.. RIDDLEDERGER to reply In two
hours or as much Of II as he desired and
each TO be allowed 10 minutes rejolnder.
Mr.. 1Rioo spoke only 4s minutes. RID
olKDoER's speech was one of the most
lucid, deliberate and conclusive ever
made In Bristol. II resulted in num-
'ber OF new and important converts at
ehcc TO the July ticket. Mn. TRIGG did
the very surprising tn ing
gf declining TO discuss the very point
at Issue and Of course failed. RIDDLE
pEnoRB's speech was exhaustive and n
very complete triumph. His anecdotes
DOT only convulsed the immense crowd
with laughter, but served to illustrate
leading truths In manner that make
fOrgetfnlness 0n imposslblllty. The dis
'cussion was supremcly decent, and not a
personality or vulgarity was for n mo-
ment INDUCED In. Mr.. TRIGG plead

The attention of the Bristol .Neus and
Marion JOnrndL are called to the estab-
lished rule among newspapers for Civ
Ing credit to wh0msOever credit is due.
The Journal clips the whole thing and
credits not, while the NecS clips only n
part Of what we say, and gives us credit.
In its account of the Corder-B Baker trag-
cdy the Ne,cs garbles us, and its state
mcnt has gotten us into trouble. If we
are copied at all, we want to be copied
In full, and then we want credit for
what we say.-Lee Sentinel.
We are exceeding sorry to have done
any injustice to the SENTINEL, and es-
pecially to have gotten it into any trouble.
We simply aimed to give in condensed
form the full meaning and alleged facts
as set forth by that paper. We guess
the SENTINEL can't show that we ever
failed to give 1t credit for anything tax
en- from Its columns. We always avoid,
or aim to, journalistic stealing. The
Bristol NEWS Is often used without cred
1t, but never makes much fuss about It,
We have seen number of items ut Il
time copied from the News into the
SENTINEL without credit, but we have
never complained.

on Sunday of last week, of dropsy OF
the heart, accelerated by Indigestion
She was most celebrated in the character
Of Juliet. During her last visit to Rich

storm. She was beautiful and greatly
attractive.
Ex-Governor 1Iershcll V. johnson, of

He was the Douglas candidate for the
Vice Presidency in 1860.
Hon. w. w. Rutlege, of Brownsville,

boro' (only ten miles distant) under au-
thority of Frankland. Upton and Sc
vier met at Greensboro, when an alter
cation arose, and Sewer struck Upton
with cane; several blows were given,
but they were separated without much
damage to either side.
The people refused to pay the taxes,
and "broils and battles" were no uncom-
mon occurrence. In September, 1887,
the Legislature of Frankland met for
the last time, at Greenville. John Men
ifee was speaker of the Senate, and
Charles Robinson Speaker of the House.
Representatives were elected to attend
the Legislature of North Carolina, thus
acknowledging the authority of North
Carolina, and in short time thereafter
the State of Frankland was no more.
In Justice to North Carolina, however,
we age glad to state that she had never
been willing to allow her daughter to
set up for herself when of lawful age
and under the proper restrictions. Cher
ishing this feeling, she offered no objcc-
ti0ns to the formation of TENNESSEE,
which was accomplished in 1900. On
the 25th Of February, as authorized by a
previous act of the General Assembly of
North Carolina, passed in the year 1888,
Samuel Johnston and Benjamin Hawk
ins, Senators in Congress, executed Il
deed to the United States in the words
of the cession act; and on the ID of
of April, 1870, Congress accepted the
deed, and Tennessee was born.
During the existence of the State Of
Frankland, the scarcity of money was
severely felt, and the taxes could only
be collected by taking such articles as
the people had, viz: flax, fur skins, ba-
con, tallow, and whiskey, these becom-
ing the "circulatihg medium" of the
State Of Frankland. The following bill,
which passed the Frankland Legislature,
will give our readers u correct idea of
the state of affairs at that time:
"AN ACT or THE STATE OF FRANKLAND,
FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE CIVIL LIST.
Whereas, The collecting of taxes in
specie for want of circulating medium
has become very oppressive to the good
people of this commonwealth; and,
whereas 1t is the duty of the Legislature
to hear, at all times, the prayers of their
constituents, and to apply as speedy II
remedy as lies In their power;
BE 1t enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of the State of Frankland, and it is
hereby enacted by the same, that from
the first day of January, A. ID. 1870, the
salaries of the officers Of this common
wealth be as follows: His EXcclency
the Governor, 1000 deer skins; His Hon
or, the Chief Justice, 800 deer skins: the
Attorney General, 500 deer skins; Gov
ernor's Secretary, 500 raccoon skins
State Treasurer, $50 otter skins; Clerks
ofthis House Of Commons, 200 raccoon
skins; members of the Assembly, per
day, three raccoon skins; Justices fee
for signing u warrant, one muskrat skin
and to the Constable, for serving q war
rant, one mink skim"

The population of the United States in
1870 was IS ,925, ,50S. and the act of Feb
ruary =, 1872, fixed the number of mem
bers of the House at 200, and the Quota Of
l3l ,125 was obtained Of course by max
ing 292 the diyisOr of the whole popula-
tion. There was prOviso, that when
ever new State was admitted into the
Union the Representative assigned to
1t should be in addition TO the number
of 202, and it was under this proviso that
on Colorado's admission into the Union
her Representative brought the member
ship of the House up the present figures
-203. The body is about large enough
and there is little disposition to increase
it beyond three hundred 1t is safe to
say, indeed, that three hundred will be
the membership under the new act max
ing an apportonment for the ten years
from 1882 to 1892; and that number was
contemplated in the census report Of
1870. Upon this well-groundcd suppo-
sitiOn the subioined estimate of the rep
resentation Of each State in the Congress
ses of the next decade as compared with
the present representation is based. Our
table embraces the complete official re-
turns,as far as possible, and in other
cases trustworthy estimates. 1t gives
the population Of each State in 1870 and
1880 and the quota population for each
Representative is obtained by dividing
the whole population in 1880, which is
46, 157 ,40i, by 300. The quota thus OBJ
tanned Is lG3,S5S. TO ascertain the num-
Der Of Representatives for each State the
number Of its population is divided by
this quota.

Death Of Nlru. WRusen johnson.

Mrs. Warren johnson, nee Julia
Brown, died at her home in Paint town
ship last Sunday night at 8 o'clock.
Death was caused by injuries resulting
from fall which she received few
days previously. Rhe funeral services
took place from the Presbyterian
Church in this cisy at l0a. m. The
deceased was in her 4Oth year, and was
we'll known by all who have lived in
this city since her birth. Her life was
marked by kind, Cheeful and loving
disposition. One of large family of
loving, COnsiderate members, her life
was individualized by her Inselfsh de-
votion to the wants and wishes of those
around her. From childhood to
womanhood, from the cradle of one to
the grave Of the other, has the writer
known Julia Brown. And coming
now to drop a tear on the caskRt that
holds her dear remains, we say that
living, she fulfilled the requirements of
Him who gave her life, and dying, she
inherits the glory promised to those
who live the fullest measure. In her
death husband loses a loving, cheerful
helpmate; her family, memOer whose
place will not be supplied until time
shall ease.-HillsbOr0 Gazette, 23d.
