In ga word to political aspirants,"
the Nashville American talks very
plainly. 1t says:
1.-THE aspirants for congress are all
quite sure that we can not afford to
allow state issues to distract our atten-
ton In the coming election. Gentle
men, the voters for congressman are in
the majority by large majority, and
they think otherwise. Without I'M
derating the national election, we do
not hesitate to say that national VIC
tory will be matter Of little conse-
quence to Tennessee If she is 10 give
her affairs over to the class who advo-
cate reputation. We have never
heard, either, that 1t was damaging to
advocate a straight and honest pol
icy all along the line. However that
may be, the voters have been asked to
be quiet until next time, until they
have concluded that next time will
never come. IF they wait until the
aspirants are all satisfied or out of the
way, this thing will go on until
dooms-day, for the simple reason
that, al every state election, we cleo
members of Congress, ana at every
second state election, members of con
gress and a president.
1t is simply absurd to allow as
pirants to keep this up forever. Now
is the accepted time. Contrary 10
the opinion of some people, the presi-
Dental year is the best for the
settlement of that question. In that
year we can have the judgment of the
entire vote in the election of governor
and legislature, whereas in off years
the people will not turn out. Business
men and those interested in the pros,
perity and progress of the state will
greatly neglect their own interests il
they do not frankly say to aspirants
that "this things played 1t will
never end until they do II we do
not mistake the temper of the people,
aside from aspirants for congress and
for governor, they are not to be ca
joled, driven or persuaded into silence
any longer"
This is a twenty-four FOUNDER
thrown into the reputation camps.
Now listen for the ho8itzers in re-
ply.

to be sifted to the bottom and if
guilty, she should be made to suffer
for it. The man or the woman that
engages in such nefarious practice
is fit only for cell in some penis
tertiary. But the statement of the
notary public is against the cor>
rectness of this theory, unless it
can be proven that he also is a
party to it, which has never been
claimed.
If, as the woman now says, she
was paid to say that the suit was
brought without her knowledge or
consent, it will be interesting to
know who paid the money, and the
fact that it was paid, if it was, is
bad for the senator. As matters
now stand, he is in an awkward
attitude, to say the least of it, and
if he can produce clearer proof of
his innocence than has yet ap-
peared, he ought to produce it with
out delay.

the past three months three miles and

the past three months three miles and
six hundred yards had been graded,
and the portion to be graded was about
an average. II the people of Augusta
voted $50, 900 to the Augusta and
Knoxville railroad, they would never
have cause to regret it. 1t would be
the best money ever expended by Au
gusta. He was satisfied that at least
$4,000 bales of cotton would be
brought to this city annually by the
road. There was already in contem-
plation two other lines which would
connect with the Augusta and Knox
Vile and add largely to it's business.
One was from Greenwood to SPARTAN
burg, and once at Spartanburg they
could see through the mountains on
their way to the west The other was
the Lowndesville railroad from Dorn's
mines to Anderson Court House. AT
Anderson Court House this road
would connect with the Blue Ridge
railroad. The Lowndesville railroad
would run within fifteen miles of Ell
berton. from which line would prob.
ably be built to connect with it, thus
doing away with the necessity of the
Hartwell railroad. If the people of
Augusta voted to subscribe $50, 900, the
success of the Augusta aud Knoxville
railroad was secured.

Is 1T BLACKMAIL?

A few days ago the telegraph ins
formed US that one Jessie Raymond
had brought suit against Senator
Hill, of Georgia, for seduction, and
laid her damages at ten thousand
dollars. Subsequently a card was
sent out to the country, to which
the name Of the complainant is
signed, in which she is made to say
that the suit was brought by Mrs.
Belya A. Lockwood, as her attor>
ney, without her consent, and that
she had never made affidavit to the
allegations as represented. Mrs.
Lockwood replies to this through
the columns of the Wash
ington Republican of Friday
morning, and alleges that
Miss Raymond did sign and make
affidavit to the declaration upon
which the suit was brought, and she
also produces statement of the
notary public before whom the af>
hdavit was taken as corroborative o.
the truth of what she alleges. Fur
ther evidence is produced to the eff
feet that Miss Raymond now saw
that she made her last statement i,
order to get money to pay he
board bill. There are other an
fuller details of this somewhat nike
and exceedingly disgusting affair
but it is not necessary to give then
