Our Switzerland.

Knoxville CITIZEN Correspondence.
AS 1t has been a great while since
! gave you any items from this end OF
the state, and as l am a constant reader
of your valuable paper, l take it for
| granted your many readers would be
pleased to hear something from the
Switzerland OF America. East Tennes-
| see well deserves the name it bears, for
its mountain scenery is magnificent and
the health of the climate cannot be sur
passed, and her people are as hospitable
and industrious as any upon the face of
| the globe, The mineral wealth of this
country is only partially developed, but
new discoveries are being made and new
mines are being opened, which adds to
the population of the country and the
trade of Knoxville. The drouth is not
so serious as it is in some sections, and
there is a great surplus. The trade in
fruit is large, and the corn is good in
some neighborhoods. To sum up the
diversity of crops and the various min
ing interests, East Tennessee is in bet
ter condition than any part of the south.
Provisions are high, but it is owing
more to the number OF men employed
on public works and the improvements
going on in the city, than to scarcity.
There are two railroads being construct
ed that will make Knoxville railroad
center and the completion of the West
ern N. G. r. r. will add greatly to
trade. Branch roads are and will be
constructed to facilitate the movement
OF coal, iron, marble, ETC., which is album
dant, and this being a center not only
of railroads but for the trade of East
Tennessee, it is destined to be a manu-
featuring town. The manufacturing
interest of Chattanooga and Knoxville
is and will have to be carried on princi-
pally by foreign labor and capital. Our
southern people are not a manufac-
turing people, and the greatest major
ity OF the leading enterprises are car
ried out by men from the north and
west. The farming interest could be
more profitable by better system of
farming and there are so few who are
trying to improve their lands. The
valleys are productive but have been
greatly neglected, and if some farmers
owned less land and would sell, in the
place of renting, the country would be
more prosperous. The increase in pop
ulation is marvellous, and numbers in the
city are boarding and cannot rent
houses. j. II. E.

There are some yery powerful reasons

There are some very powerful reasons
why the democratic party should agree
upon basis of settlement of the state
debt before the court decides the 1908
case. If the court decides it valid, there
will be enough state credit men, who
will contend for its enforcement at all
hazards, to prevent any compromise
other than that. If the court decides it
unconstitutional or repealable, there
will arise like objection from low
takers and they will feel so strengthened
in their belief that they will decline to
compromise. 1t is important, then, to
find a compromise figure before it is
impossible. 1t matters not which way
the court decides it, the other side will
not let It rest. It can never be Settled
except by the party in council, away
from the polls. The times are now
ripe and to delay is dangerous. If the
compromise of factions is not effected
before the courts decision, we fear the
antagonists will increase past healing,
and the result will be the success of the
republicans. II we permit the republic
cans to hold on q few terms and they
administer the government as fairly and
well and as GOV. Hawkins does, they
will soon be the prevailing party and
have perpetual lease OF power. There
are thousands of men who will become
Disguised with democracy and go to the
republicans, if we do not quit quarrel
ing. Let's stop it while we can.

The famous Dalrymple farm ot
$4,000 acres in Dakota is really
made up OF smaller farms, VIII
separate ownerships; but all is un-
der the management OF Oliver Dial
rymple who owns 1000 acres out
right. and is likely to soon beco me
q half owner OF the rest. When he
assumed charge the proprietors OF
the various tracts put in the LAND
at a fair valuation and money
enough to improve 1t, charging
eight per cent. on the whole iDvest-
ment. The important provision
was that, whenever the profits
reached over and above the eight
per cent. year, a SUN sufficient TO
repay the entire outlay, half the
land should be his. AT the time 1t
was not supposed that much if any
more than the promised percentage
could be derived from the farm,
but the crops have been heavy, and
nothing but a serious mishap will
prevent Dslrymple from realizing
his hopes within 1.-TWO or three
years.

The Outlook.
From the World


In reviewing the political situation in
out issue of yesterday, we presented
what we conceived would be the alter
natives in the canvass next year in the
event the state debt became an open
question before the people, and that it
will, seems to be inevitable. The alter
natives, then, are likely to be 1908 or
something else. win 1t be 1908, or re-
pudiation? Or will it be that settle
ment, or some other more satisfactory
to the people?
We ask the sober, sensible, conserva-
tive elements OF all parties, whether the
question does not come before their
minds in just that shape? Is it not the
opinion of the majority of the people OF
Tennessee that no settlement will ever
stand that has not the sanction of the
people? We ask the most earnest adVo-
Gates of the 1908 bill whether they do
not now, whatever may have been their
opinions at first, believe that it would
have been better for the democratic par
| ty to have stuck to its platform and the
| representatives OF the people TO their
pledges, and secured a settlement at
50-4, or 80 and a graduated INTEREST,"
rather than to have passed bill which
has proven so unsatisfactory to them
| Again we ask, in view of the probable
| ity that the question will come up in the
next canvass, would it not be better tor
democracy to harmonic on 50-4 and
! elect men who can be trusted to pass
such measure in the next legislature,
rather than let the question as it now
stands keep the democratic party in its
present chaotic state and the whole peo-
pie agitated to the detriment of other in
terests which already need the fostering
care of the best classes, but which are
crowded out OF mind by this one all-ab-
sorbing topic? The World recognizes
the states liability, and is in favor OF an
honorable and fair settlement of her in
debtedness, and it has its opinion of
what is a just settlement. This paper
will never favor or be allied with a repu-
diation party. Nor does it believe that
the people Of Tennessee intend to repu-
date her indebtedness. We might even
go so far as to say that, aside from the
manner of the passage OF the 1908 bill,
we regard a fair and honorable set
tlement, and were no other interests
concerned in the next canvass than our
own, we would not urge any objection
to 1t; but being acquainted with the
whispered opposition to the bill-it be-
ing republican measure for one thing
and principally on account of the man
ner of its passage-we do not hesitate to
say that 50-4 will be far more satisfac-
tory to the people, and we think it best
for all parties concerned to settle the
debt at that, than to keep up continual
wrangle over the question, fighting for |
the 1908.
is this not the sentiment of nearly all |
Tennesseans and will 1t not be the final |
solution OF the question, we ask in all !
candOr and soberness? Democrats, are
you not willing to harmonic upon the |
platform of 1880 and put your best men |
in the legislature, thereby save your |
party from utter ruin and wIest the |
state government from the republican |

A girl horse thief, nineteen
years Of age, took dinner in St
Louis the other day, and two depu
ty sheriffs took off her hand cuffs
before she began eating. The Dis
patch says: "She was arrested in
the southwestern part of the stale
and made several attempts to es
cape from the officers. She had
hair as black ami coarse as an In
dams, matted over her head and
hanging down her back. Her
cheek bones were high, and she
had small piercing gray eyes aud y
very large mouth, but regular
teeth. Around her neck she had q
red shawl pinned tightly, which
gave her face very savage sppear-
snce, although she had white
complexion. She wore a homespun
dress and a pair of hOb-nailed
shoes, and her hands looked like an
eagles tslons."

Nov. 1st is All Saints Day and the I'd
is All Souls Day. The latter is found
ed upon the tradition that pilgrim re-
turning from Mecca met a hermit who
told him of hole opening into the
neither and out of it came the cries and
groans of souls in purgatOry who had
no one to pray for their repose. The
pilgrim Immediately invented the
scheme Of setting apart this day to pray
for friendless souls. 1t was vigorously
observed until it was found the hole led
to Aquitelus and the sounds, instead of
groans, were the joyous and happy
songs and Civilizations of that thrice
blessed people.

The Atlanta Constitution challenges
the production of single criticism un-
favorable to the exposition. Not one
single deprecating remark has been
made TO temper the enthusiasm OF
every visitor. 1t says that it has, so far,
been well attended by the people of the
north, but that the people of Georgia
and OF the south have not attended, ow-
Ing to the fact that the railroads have
not made suitable reduction rates. Pso-
pie from Cincinnati and Chicago pay a
cent a mile each way, while the people
along the lines are asked to pay two and
one-half cents per mile. Some of the
roads have agreed to reduce the fare,
and Others, it is thought, will do so.
The local fare being reduced, the
Constitution invites everybody, and es-
pecially southern farmers, to attend and
see the finest collection OF American in
dustries and products ever brought to-
gether in the world. The exposition
should not fail on account OF lack of
patronage from the southern people, for
whose special benefit it was originated.
However, il is most too early now;
when the wintry winds begin to pinch
them, our people Will begin to direct
their footsteps toward Atlanta.--[ World.

| Columbia Herald Correspondent.
A most pleasant event of the week is
the marriage of Miss Lucy d. Wade, 9
daughter OF Henry p. Wade Of this vi
cinity, and Mr.. w. T. DuBose of Pulas-
XII, which took place at the Presbyte-
rian church on Wednesday evening, the
26th inst. Thus, two loving hearts are
blended in all the joyous hopes and
sweet aspirations OF coming life. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
DIR. DuBose, pastor OF the Presbyterian
church in Brownsville, the father OF the
groom, assisted by Rev. F. A. Thomp-
son. The church was most beautifully
decorated, and brilliantly lighted up,
and at an early hour was filled by the
friends and acquaintance OF the bridal
party who came to witness the consum-
nation of the joyous event-the hsppi-
est hour of human life. At ~ o'clock,
p. M, the bridal party arrived and ad-
vanced up the aisle, while Mrs. Robin
Jones, in compliment to the young
bride, performed on the organ the grand
wedding march in the most exquisite
style of the art. The ceremony was ap-
propriate and impressive, and mutual
vows of perpetual love and undying af-
fiction were registered in heaven, as
the minister in solemn tones pro-
lOuuCNu btlClu HuSudllu anu Wlie.
The bride was richly and beautifully at
tired, and never looked more lovely and
bewitching than when leaning upon
the arm and pledging her faith to the
man of her choice. May all the happi-
ness and bliss that heaven can give set
tie upon their hearts, as gently and
sweetly as spring time comes upon the
flowers OF earth, and may their affec-
tons, like the hues of the rainbow, be so
beautifully blended as to lend a charm
to their whole lives, and like 1t, as it
fades from earthly vision, open amid the
brightness of celestial joys. The at
PENDANTS, all of whom were dr9ped in
richest fabrics, and most elegantly
were Miss Mollie Buford and

Kansas City, Oct. 30-Informa
tion was received here to-day which
proves beyond a doubt that Ed.
Miller, one of the noted band OF
train robbers, had been killed in
Southwestern Missouri by Jesse
James. Miller took part in the first
robbery of the Chicago and Alton
railway, and st Winston, on the
Rock Island, and was born and
raised in Jackson county. After
the Winston affair Jesse James
went South, bgt Miller, Dick Little
and Jim Cummings remained in
this section of the country until
about month ago, when they went
to the southern portion Of the state
and we're Joined by Jesse james.
Miller and Cummings had been
counting the same girl, and had
trouble regarding the matter, and at
last came to blows. Jesse James
aud told them they were
id fools to be fighting over a
woman while they were being hunted
like wolves, and had better protect
themselves first The day follow
ing, Miller accused Jesse James of
"fooling" with his girl, when the
latter drew a revolver and shot him
desd, and his body was left by the
roadside. Another version is that
Jesse James sided with Cummings
about the girl, which displeased
who threatened to leave the
gang, and for this Jesse killed hin.
The details OF the killing are told
by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and friends of
all parties from Clay and jackson
and are authentic.
