TRYING TO ARRAY REPUB-
LICANS OF ONE SEC
TON AGAINST THOSE
OF ANOTHER.

We were for Republican first. last

name or local t.. The Maynard man
ayers were for Maynard first, last aud
all the time, regardless % anybody
else or any section bat East Ten
nessee.
This is the declaration Of that
egotistical little man Henry r.
Gibson, in the last number of his
paper. It is an insult to every
Republican in the State. It is q
mean attempt to array the Repub-
licans Of the other sections Of the
State against those of East Tennes-
zee. What is the foundation for it?
Nothing on earth but the false as
sumption of this bitter enemy of
Horace Maynard, who boasted over
his defeat at home and over the fact
that he was to be killed off at Wash.

Why, outside Of East Tennessee
Horace Maynard was the choice OF
ninety>fve per cent. Of the Republi.
can party. He was the first choice
of nearly all Of the Memphis dele

members, were for him heart and
soul. Senator Barrett, Of Harde,
man, was for him. Hawkins
Murray and Neeley voted for him
He was the first choice of at leas

rison's own county.
Republicans of East Tennessee

and cast their votes solid for tn
gallant Num- for secretary Of stat
and NoWlan for comptroller, tn
first from West and the other
Middle Tennesseean. None rejoice
over their election more sincerel
than EastTennesseeans. Now we hav

republican vote than either of tn
other sections.

We have determined to place the
WEEKLY Vine AND CHRONICLE during
the coming year within the reach of
every man, woman and child in the
land. Our purpose is to eep u p it's
high standard as a thoroughly relia-
BILE newspaper. We will, in addition
to the usual latest Geographic news
from all parts of the world, give reli-
able market reports, the best discus
sion of practical agricultural ques-
tons, the choicest and most reliable
miscellaneous selections, religious in
telligence and everything to be found
in the metropolitan weeklies. Our
policy In the past in regard to poit-
ical affairs will be our policy in the
future. We shall support the prin-
ciples Of the republican party, in
the devotion to which we yield to
none, but in doing this, we will treat
those who differ with us, courteously
and respectfully.

THE NEXT THING TO Do.

We trust that our senators and
representatives in the legislature
will lose no time when they reas-
semble after the recess in making
provisions for the honorable settles
mont Of the State debt. The people
expect it, and if it is not done will
be disappointed and indignant.
Republicans were elected upon
State credit platform, and they
cannot oppose or throw any OBJ
structions in the way of settlem ent
without violating the trusts imposed
in them by their constituents. The
State credit Democrats were elected
upon q similar platform, and they
cannot oppose settlement without
stultifying themselves. After the
result Of the November election, We
are satisfied that even some Of the
low-tax Democrats, men who are
not blinded by prejudice and deaf
to the voice of reason, will agree to
a settlement of the debt.
Nearly half of the session is now
gone. No tine should be lost-not
a day. What is done must be
done quickly. We trust, the' efore,
that when our lawmakers return to
Nashville, they will take hold of
this question in good earnest and
with an honest purpose to do what
is right. With this question out Of
the way, Tennessee has brilliant
prospect for the future. With the
burden upon our shoulders and the
disgrace hanging over US, ruin and
disgrace are inevitable.

The DrOuth .

The drouth sti continues and is now
assuming alarming proportions not only
in this but in every section of the State
Our exchanges each week bring news o1
the damage done to the crops 10y the con
tinued dry spell, and from each one we
hear the prayerful cry for rain. The out
look for growing crops is really very de
pressing. The damage already done to
corn and tobacco is so great that not more
than half crop of these staples Can pos
siby be made, and even to make that will
be doubtful unless we are soon visited
with extensive and copi"us showers
Weather-wise people say that no such
drouth has existed since 1906, and during
tina, year, we have seen it ated, that no
rain fell for 1876 consecutive days. Let US
earnestly join our prayers to those OF the
many ready praying for the blessing OF
plentiful shower.

Peaches.

The crop of this delicious fruit has
been, as we have repeatedly chronicled, a
complete failure all o:er the State. The
severe co d weather of last winter having
killed most of the trees, and the blossoms
of those that did not die were nipped by
the late frosts of the spring. The loss OF
this fruit has been great deprivation to
all as gre particularly fond of he us
cious flavor of Maryland's favorite fruit
We had just made up our mind that we
were not to taste nice, fresh, luscious
peach this season. as we had not heard OF
a single II, c ii this neighborhood that
bore. But, 10, on Tuesday asst we were
destined to undergo a most pleasant dis
appointment. On that day. as Ne were
deep into the mysteries of brewer and no -
paricl. there walked into our office our
cid friend, Mr.. Rufus Robey, with n bas-
ket all nicely covered over We invited
him into our sanctum, and he there I'M
covered his basket and disc osod TO our
astonished gaze and watering pa some
of the most delicious looking peaches it
has ever been our good fortune To see
When he said they were intended for u
words were inadequate to express our
gratitude We take this occasion To thank
our % d friend for so kindly remembering
the poor printer, and do assure him thai
with every one that passed our lips ar
earnest prayer went up from our heart for
the continued success Of his peach crop.
