Experience OF a South Memphis
Girl with Bogus Rat Poison.

The power Of imagination was Wv
idly illustrated by an incident which
transpired in a certain neighborhood
of Vance street yesterday evening.
The earnest request and the extreme
sensibility of the heroine prevents the
use of names, which, however, does not
impair the facts. q.
About five o'clock in the afternoon
the young lady, daughter of a we'll
known citizen, rushed into the room
where the family we're seated, and
with a white face and livid lips ex-
claimed in a voice quivering with ter
ror, that she had swallowed a spoonful
of rat poison. She endeavOred te say
more but her utterance became sud-
denly choked and incohersnt and she
sank to alounge.
The family were terror-struck and
sent for a physician, who came post
haste and went hard to work with his
emetics. He was considerably non
plused, however, by the lack Of all ev-
licences Of poisoning and was begin
ming to doubt that such was the case,
when a small scion of the house rush
ed in and holding a tin box partly filed
with a white powder under the puzzled
doctor S nose, said she took nearly
all oft" The doctor looked at the
box which was labeled ''rat poison
and then tasted it. Not satisfied, he
tasted it again, then took it to the
light. and with a bright face exclaim-
ed, why it is nothing but chalk"
The poor victim, who a moment be-
fore was loudly complaining offs pain
under the belt, caught his exclama-
ton and suddenly revived-sat up,
stared, but still looked incredulous.
Where did you get this?" asked
the doctor.
From apeddler, replied the young
lady's mother. HE said it was a
perfect rat killer, but as poisonous as
could be, and should be used careful
ly."
We'll, you were imposed upon,
the doctor said. ut is nothing in
the world but common chalk"
The young lady, who was now able
to speak, said she had intended to take
some soda for acidity Of the stomach,
and after she had fixed up the dose
caught the bright label rat poison"
on the box, and Immediately discov-
cred the soda San sitting on the shelf
a few inches from the spot where the
So-called rat poison had been placed.
Her recovery is complete, but she is
extremely sensitive on the subject.

/. HANGING To.HEORROW,
Uhless alne GovernOr inteslsfss.

Tomorrow at Covington, Upton
county, Tennessee, unless reprieved
by Governor Hawkins, Andrew San
ders, cOlored, is to be hung for the
murder of Mike Miller, white. The
tragedy occurred about two miles
north Of Covington one day last
spring. Sanders and his vile
had lived together on a farm
adjoining that of old man Miller. The
wife Of Sanders made up her mind
not to live with Sanders, and trans
ierred herself to the Miller household,
where she took charge Of the culinary
department. Her husband made sew
eral visits TO the Miller farm and
endeavored to pursuade his wife to
return to her former abode. This she
at times partially consented to do,
but would change her mind as soon as
Sanders had departed. Finally San
ders threatened to kill his wife, unless
she returned to her lawful husbands
home. AT last he took his shotgun
and made another visit, evidently being
bent on forcing Mrs. Sanders
to go home with him,
either dead or alive. The woman
to get out of bis way ran into old man
Miller's house and was pursued there
by Sanders. Miller tried to get him
out, and some accounts say Sanders
was beset by Miller and his sons. At
all events the end was the tragic death
Of old man Miller at the hands of
Sanders. He was arrested, tried and
sentenced to be hung, then sent to
Jail here for safety. Common rumor
has it that certain mitigating circum-
stances surround Sanders case, and
some believe that the mans life
ought to be spared. it having been
limited that Mrs. Sanders was unduly
intimate with certain young men about
the Miller farm. This circumstance
is regarded as in the culprit's favor,
but whether or not the Governor will
deem it SO, will be known between
this and tomorrow afternoon.

Crops Cut Short, but Not Behind
1.-THE State Tax Problem.

NEwBERN, Tenn, August %, 1881.
EDITOR LEDGER-Nothing is talked
of now among the people of the coun
try scarcely, but the short crops and
heavy taxes they will be forced TO pay
very 0 0 unless some relief is offered.
This county will make corn sufficient
to answer all their wants. Cotton has
been cut short at least one-half by the
drought. Many think it will not
make half a crop. [ think it will, and
if the season is favorable from this
time until gathered, it may exceed
half a crop. The people cannot pay
their taxes, and what is to be the
result | cannot tell. The taxes of 1881
goes into the hands of the officers for
collection the first of November, and
that will be before they realize any,
thing from their crops. Some hope
has been INDUCED that the Governor
would convene the Legislature and
recommend the postponement of the
collection Of the taxes for this year
until the people can make something
to pay with. But this is almost a for
lorn hope, as so little respect and
sympathy was shown the people by
the last Legislature we cannot expect
much in the way of relief no mattec
what may be the condition of the
country. There will be a day of reck.
oning, however, when the people will
be heard, and woe unto him that heed
not the voice of the people.
