That Injunction Bill.

Those opposed to paying the bonds
issued by the State have at last APP
pealed to the courts. If this means
that the question whether the States is
legally bound to pay her bonds is to be
settled by the judicial tribunals, it is all
right. In a country of constitutional
government, where the rights of prop
erty, of liberty, and Of life itself, are
all determined by the courts, no right,
minded man could object to this ques-
ton being decided by the courts, and
to that decision, when made, we pro-
pose to submit
There is, however, ground of just
apprehension that this move is not
made for the purpose of finally deter
mining the question but is mere po-
litical dodge for delay so that it may
be kept open to serve the purposes Of
ambitious aspirants for office in a future
canvass. VIII those who are manag-
ing this bill abide by the decision when
made? Should it be adverse to their
particular views will they aubside, or
are we to be again treated to that ter
sihlA tiraAA- hAretnfnr0 made CHARGING
that the courts were bought up and
the judges corrupt?
It's time the people began to think
of this question. 1t is time for them
to see and understand that if thisresort
to the courts has not been made in good
faith for the purpose of having the
vexed question of the State debt set
tied they are being newly humbugged
and misled by a parcel of ambition,
men who, whatever their professions
are actuated solely by thirst Of power
and ambition for place.
We were as warmly opposed to tn,
settlement at 1908 as the most yiolen
low tax man in the State. We believ
ed at the time, and now believe, tba
if the Democratic party had not beef
misled into division a settlement mucl
more favorable to the State could hay
been made. But if The present settle
ment should be held by the courts
be legally binding, we see no way GU
Of it but reputation of legal debt:
and that in every shape and form "
shall oppose. Our State can never 7,
cover from reputation. It will ne
only disgrace but ruin us and our CHI
dren and is no remedy for the evils ,
an unwise settlement if that settlemeI
is really binding upon us in law.
, When the courts decide the ma
, ter, let ns all abide by the decisio
f whether it is for or against us. In a
J, other matters we have this to do, al
, it is our duties as citizens to do ii
same thing in this case.

The Ballot.

History brings to us the melancholy
tidings that whenever and wherever
republics have been tried amongst men
they have not only been subjected to
their Severest strains but have been
ultimately overthrow by demagogues
supplanting statesmen in positions of
public trust. The uniformity of this
result could not be if it was not found
ed upon a law Of human nature itself,
alike among all peoples and in every
cline. This great fact is full of mean
ing to every citizen of our republic,
but the patriotic duty it teaches ismore
directly addressed to those of us entitled
to vote. 1t is by the ballot our public
servants are chosen. If wise and Just
men are chosen, wisdom and justice
will dictate their policies. If fools or
tricksters, then folly or baseness rules,
and the whole tone Of political moral
fly is high or low as the one or the
other class is selected.
The primary duty here as the pri-
mary power is with the people" and
rightly considered, no man was ever
entrusted with any right more dignfed
or important than the simple right Of
voting in a republic. When our rep
rosontatives, either State or Federal,
are chosen by our votes they are by
that fact made our delegates, are EN-.
powered to act in our room and stead
for us-and the laws or measures
they adopt if not prohibited by the
constitution are as binding as if we,
"the peoplaf had done the same things
in person. It follows that it Is one Of
the highest duties Of citizenship for
every voter to mark every symptom Of
demagogism in every public man and
set the seal Of his condemnation upon
all such would-be leaders. Statesmen
alone arc st to be selected for rulers.

Editorial Correspondence.
SPRESG HILL, Tenn, June 4.

SPRISG Hill, Tenn, June 4.
We have reached our destination
which from the above caption, will be
seen is in the midst Of the Limestone
Basin Of Middle Tennessee, region
well known in the geology of the State
as combining the greatest variety of
ingredients Of soil, and consequently
producing the greatest variety and best
crops of any other part of the United
States.
Passing through the counties of Cot
fee, Bedford and Marshall we noticed
the crops were unusually promising,
Wheat, although it looks we'll and
would indicate at least an average
yield, is yet problematcal in the minds
of farmers. The general verdict is
that oats will fall far below an average,
Corn is very fine and in fine State Of
cultivation, the contest with General
Green is about over with his forces
routed all along the line.
AS stated in our former communica-
tion, the thirteen year locusts are here
in full force, performing their novel
and mysterious mission, which, how
ever, seems to be a harmless one as
they are not accused of interfering
with anything except puncturing the
branches Of fruit trees to deposit their
eggs. 1t will be remembered that
Prof. Riley, of Washington, predicted
as early as January last the concurrent
visitation of the 13 and II year locusts
this year with a probability that the
former would appear in May through
out the Southwest, and the latter in
June in the Northern Central States Of
the Union. Ii is observed here in
some places that besides the general
army of locusts which may be seen
everywhere in great numbers, there
are others much larger in size and very
few in number, These may be the II
year locusts that have struggled from
the latitude assigned them by their
mysterious mission. If this is a con-
current visitation of both SPECIES we
will hardly see another, as it will take
place in the year A. d. 2102, and
every 22l years thereafter forever.

The Pulaski Herald, which is owned

who is one of the lawyers that filed the
Injunction bill in the 1908 settlement
case, says:
"a disruption of the settlement
filings the question again seething hot
into the cauldron of politics, and is
likely to create rebound which will
not stop short Of downright reputation
or turn over the government, both leg
islative and executive, permanently to
the Republican party, who are not
likely to lessen or lower the terms Of
settlement, and for years and years dis
turb the minds and peace Of the peo-

Darlington, who has been almost con-
Stantly with the commissioners during
their stay in Richmond. has prepared Il
statement, giving his views of tho result
of the Investigation, but that has also
been refused, The gist of tho testimony
is that the number Of soldiers of the rcgi-
ment engaged in the alleged misconduct
WAS from 80 to 40; that outrageous adj
vances were made towards ladies i'll the
public strocts; that many of the soldiers
paraded one OF the main streets, i'll broad

that they invaded bar-rooms, AMI helped

Explosion OF Steam Mill with Fatal
Results.

Yesterday evening about sundown,
tho boiler of the steam engine which runs
the Erist and saw mill of Mr.. w. o.
Cromer about three miles east of this
village exploded, destroying tho mill,
and very seriously injuring Charles Cox,
ry Richardson, colored. was scalded.
Mr. Cromer, Scott Chiles and John
Strowder escaped unlurt. DR.. Parker
and DR.. Mcbride wero Immediately sent
for.
From DIR. Mcbride, who returned from
the scene of tho eXpl0s' N last night
about twelve O'Clock, we learn the follow
ing particulars
Robert Keller had both thighs broken,
ono arm broken and badly mutilated, his
lower jaw was torn away, and his tongue
cut nearly i'll two. He died whilo being
taken from the mill to his homo about a
milo distant. Keller, was not employed
at tho mill, but was a customer who
was loating about the mill after his
"turn' had been ground.
Charles Cox's right leg below the knee
was struck by falling piece of machin-
cry, breaking both bones, tearing all the
flesh from tho bones for distance of Mt
ting the flesh which, tho Doctor says, is
simply indcscribable. The worst and
most serious injury which NJ. Cox re-
ceived was blow on the right side of
the head which produced conclusion of
the brain, rendering him comatoso, from
which: :; /; believed it is impossible for
him to rally. Mr. Cox is a worthy young
man, agod II years and was an employee
Mt the mill. Mr.. Cromer was standing
within ono foot of Mr.. Cox when tho OK.
plosion took place, hut was uniniured.
The explosion Is accounted for in this
way: The engineer had been arranging
something about tho engine which was
out of gear. The register indicated l20
pounds to tho square inch, and tho steam
was escaping from tho safety valve. Be-
ing annoyed by tho escape Of tho steam,
he threw log chain over tho lover of
the safety valve, which closed it. In q
few minutes, rs might have been eX-
pected, the boiler burst. Tho boiler is
believed to have been perfect -A6beriHe
