On Trial for Starving Her Child,

Sarah A Lawhorn, white woman, living
in the 11th district of Knox county, is on
trial i'll the criminal court on a very serious
charge, that of starving her child to death.
The evidence shows it to have been mixed
blooded, mulatto child, about three years
old. She was married to Lawhorn
after its birth. 1t was also in proof
that the child was woefully neg
lected and mistreated. but the defense
was that the family were in extreme poverty
and destitution, and that the child was cared
for as much as possible.
On Sunday, May %, the child was taken
by Justice ". S. Smith and put in charge of
Mr.. Nicely, neighbor. The mother was
arrested at the same time for neglect and mis-
treatment, tried and committed to jail
Attention was given the child, bat
it died on the Friday following, and it was
given as the professional opinion of Dr.
Hickman, the attending physician, that i
died of starvation, though no post morten
examination was held
The woman on trial, together with he,
mother, Elizabeth Fowlkes, and Florence
jerks, formerly Knight, appear to have
hailed first from Greene county, and lived {
while at Messy Greek, before coming tt
Knox county.
Attorney-General d. D. Anderson was as
sisted in the prosecution by Col. John NJ.
Fleming and Messrs. NJ. F. Caldwell and J
W. Demarcus, while Messrs James n. Ray
j. W. Caldwell, Robt Steele and NJ. A.
Cassidy represented the prisoner. The evi
dence.was concluded and portion of the
argument heard yesterday. 1t will be con
cluded and given to the jury to-day.

SOUTHERN CAR WORKS.
The New Knoxville Enterprise Organized
Regularly for Business.

The New Knoxville Enterprise Organized
Regularly for Business.
Publication has been made by us from
time to time of the establishment in Knox
vile of a car manufactory, with a capital
stock of $75, 600. The parties interested
are Messrs. Lott. Roberts & Colwen, three
gentlemen from Michigan of ample capital
and thorough practical business qualitica-
tions, besides Maj W. r. futile, represent
ing the Knoxville Iron Company, Mr.. A. L.
Maxwell representing the Knoxville Car
Wheel Company, and Col. G. NJ. MeGhee,
representing the E. T., V. d e. Railroad
Company.
A charter was obtained from the State of
Tennessee and the company has been form
ally organized as the Southern Car Works :"
with George W. Colwell president, R. l..
Lott iee-president and manager, R. z.
Roberts secretary and treasurer. The di-
rectors are the three officers named and W.
r. Tuttle and A. L. Maxwell
AS has been stated by us, the company
have purchased acres of ground on the
north side of the d. T., V. q G. Railroad,
west of the city. Everything is now in
readiness and work viii be commenced
Monday breaking dirt for the grading and
erection of the buildings. The company
will supply itself with new and improved
machinery, throughout, which will be put
into position just as soon as practicable,
and is confidently expected that the first
cars will be turned out by the first of Sep
tember
This is certainly, by all odds, the greatesl
enterprise that has been set on foot in
Knoxville for many days and its importance
and beneficial results to Knoxville, and all
East Tennessee, in fact, can not well be
overestimated
The works will start out with a capacity
of turning out five cars in day, employing
about 100 men. AS the work progresses
the capacity will be gradually increased to
about twelve per day, employing about $50
to 200 men. This great enterprise is only
the fOrerunner of others of similar nature
and similar proportions, which will follow
in rapid succession.
Messrs. Lott, Roberts and Colwell left on
yesterdays noon train for another trip tC
Michigan, to complete the arrangements fOl
the purchase of the necessary machinery
Mr.. Lott, who will be actively in charge OF
the works, as manager, will return in about
a week to settle down regularly to business.

and with bold flourish of trumpets
the end was reached. The guilty.
by-contession and convicted parties
vociferously raised the shout of in
jured innocence, flung a pretended
legal technicality over the evil
dence, and in victorious uproar
laughed the famous Resolutions
from the stage.
This was at once accepted as the
fms but the end was not yet. With
another flare of brass the cur
tains were rung up again, and to
the surprise of all, there before the
foot-lights were performing again
the same members of the stampeded
troupe, pretending that they had
never been routed from their legit-
innate parts in the play, and to fool
somebody into believing their pre-
tensions, they proceeded with the
utmost air of long -visaged solemni-
ty, to re-resolue and re-resolute the
routed resolutions into a state of res
urrected reuivyfcation; and to en-
phasize the alleged fact that the
dead were alive again, they pro-
ceeded to reiterate, re-declare and
reswear "by the long tow-rope, !"
that they auo1ld (they'd be tee-total-
ly jumped up and stuck in the
ground if they wouldn't), revoke
anybody's license that dared to vio-
late the sanctity Of the law $50 reg
ulating such license. &C."
This little addendum, however,
was well understood, and univer-
sally accepted as simply supple
mental travesty to serve as the
final and GROWING act in the
"Farce Of the Ages"
P. S.-We are frank to concede
that as an art-criticism the forego-
ing recital of ponderous events, may
lack comprehensiveness, and be
wanting in strength and embellish-
ment, but as a faithful historical
narrative we unhesitatingly state
upon the common reputation of
the editorial profession, that it may,
with perfect confidence, be filed
away in the archives of the uni
verse, for the reliable study of flu
ture generations.

Reading the Sign-bOards.

The Wellsburg Herald, after
kindly congratulating the FREE
MAN on its rapidly increasing cir
culation, INDUCES in these COM
ments and differences:
"This is the Temperance paper
from which we have made frequent
extracts, published at Parkersburg,
and though it is a sprightly and in
trinsically interesting paper, the
fact that the publishers have sue
ceededdn getting so large number
of readers is about as good evidence
as can be desired Of the vitality of
the prohibition sentiment in West
Virginia. These hundreds of quar-
tiers can not be picked up in any
other speciality by newspaper in
this State, in as many years as
Johnson has occupied months in
doing it, especially as each quarter
represents separate subscriber and
reader. The numbering old politi-
cal coaches down at Wheeling
would do we'll to read the indica-
tions, and not continue droning be-
hind the age in everything that
looks like progress in politics.
The FREEMAN is doing good SER
vice in the cause and we are glad to
note its success. By the way the
FREEMAN takes the Herald to task
for publishing a joke to which it
claims the title, without credit. Our
recollection of that joke is that we
found it floating around in a patent
outside"
As to that last remark, good
brother, no more Of it, please.
There was no harm at all. 1t was
Jones joke. We had 40 title to it.
We just wrote it down as we got it
from Jones, while waiting at the
depot for a two o'clock train. We
doubt not the patent" fellows
have sliced on it by this time.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 30, 1881.
Third Party.

The State Journal is much pur-
turbed over the prospective posi-
bility of a third party. To the end
of discouraging any such movement
as party leaders fear may be con-
templated by the temperance peo-
pie, the Journal labors through
long editorial last week, quoting
largely from Senator Blair's letter
to the Temperance Convention re-
Gently held in New York.
Without entering into the ques-
ton of the propriety or improprie-
ty of the organization Of a distinc
tive Prohibition party, it is partic-
ularly interesting just now to note
the similarity of the present cries
and solemn warnings against the
introduction of third party, to the
objections raised a quarter Of a CEN
fury ago, against the same bugaboo
Of third party.
1t was then boldly proclaimedby
both political parties that the or
ganizing Of a third party would
surely precipitate the country into
everlasting pow-wows, but the
Journals party was organized all
the same, and soon became the rul-
ing party. Now, the Republican
party having seen the great idea
upon which it was founded estab-
lished, see as the Democratic party
sees, in the present and immediate
future great, universally diffused
and growing idea of right, de-
manding the legal prohibition of
another great national crime, that
Of the liquor traffic; and the only
practical and sensible question for
them now is, whether either Of
them has in its organization virtue,
patriotism and wisdom enough to
grapple with the next great nation
al issue and conduct it to right
eous settlement !; or must new par
ty "come into the kingdom for such
a time" as the "signs of the times"
indicate to be very near at hand?
The way for either Of the two
great parties to avoid the embar-
rassment of a third, is to rise out of
its own pollutions to the ascend
ing virtues of the people, and so
conduct party, that party shall rep
resent the honest masses of its con-
stituents rather than the small
minorities of whisky-enslaved, Of
fce-seeking, sordid and corrupt
classes that manipulate and direct
political machinery to the lawless
purposes of the very worst elements
of society.
There being no longer any dis
tinctive principles dividing the two
national parties, the contest be-
tween them has degenerated into a
disgusting squabble for Office and
place, and because Of the ability of
the liquor-traffic to command and
control corrupt votes, both parties
are base enough to barter away all
that is noble, good and true, apper-
tanning to their constituency, in
order to gain the support of the
drunken rabble.
Shame on the impudence that
would embolden such parties to cry
out against the organization of a
party more honest.
