try and not of party, it will rule again
in the affairs of the state government
and the federal government for a
hundred years to come. But if,
taking counsel of the timid, the We
nal, the corrupt, it shall shrink from
an absolute and courageous as
sertion of its principles and en-
forcement of its policies;
= = especially if, forgetting that it
is a democracy, it shall have regard
rather to the interests of capital than
of labor, of the rich than the poor, the
few than The many, and shall consider
section or party or self, rather than
the country, and the whole country
in the day that it shall eat Of such
fruit, it shall shall surely die, and
upon its gravestone, for monument it
will have none, shall be inscribed the
lamentation of Carthage over her
greatest son, "You knew how to con-
quer, but not how to use the ~victory2"
Finally, men Of Tennessee, there is
no longer any hope of relief for the
people from the insatiate demands and
corrupting Influences Of organized

A wild Panther Shot Within
Three Miles OF This City.

About sunrise this morning a real
panther of the forest, of very large
proportions, was shot and killed by a
cslored man named John Adams, in a
cane brake about a nile from Mound
City, and a short distance above
this city. Adams was out turkey
hunting at the time, and carried a
double barreled shotgun loaded with
buckshot. Whilei in the act of calling
turkeys, he heard a rustling in the
cane, and thought the noise proceeded
from a Wild turkey which seemed to
be approaching him. He continued
the hunters usual turkey call, and a
few moments later was astonished to
see a ferocious looking animal moving
stealthily toward him, as if designing
an immediate attack. Adams lost no
time in bringing his gun to
bear on the carnivorous quad
ruped. He turned the gun loose,
the buckshot hit the beast square in
the face and put out both eyes
but did not kill. The enraged beast
rushed forward to the attack, and
when within a few feet Of the hunter
another well aimed shot from the
other barrel of the gun penetrated his
shoulder and laid him out. 1t was a
cool but celeritous proceeding on the
part of the hunter, and had he mis-
taken his aim the chances are he
would have been torn to death by the
hungry denizen Of the forest. Adams
dragged the body Of the panther into
Mound City after it was killed, and
when last heard from he was preparing
to peel off its hide to bring it over
to the city. When panther hunting
can be enjoyed SO close to us as this,
it is not necessary for spCrtsmen to 60
to the far.of jungles of Africa or South
America to shoot such animals. 1t is
supposed that the high waters of the
river, backing up through the swamps
in the rear, drove the animal out Of
his lair, to seek his breakfast, so close
to the settlement of Mound City.
Panthers appear to be unusually nu-
merous in the canebrakes of the
southern valleys this season. The
long and severe winter has
prevented hunters from pursuing their
accustomed sports, owing to their in
ability to travel among the muddy
bottoms, and wild beasts are growing
quite bold in many neighborhoods.

ton field thereabouts, and the other
day a panther attacked two men while
asleep in a tent not far from Green
wood, Miss, less than a hundred miles
south of this city in the Tallahatchie
river bottom.
