POVERTY AND DISTRESS.

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant
and watery, a condition termed anemia in
the medical writings. Given this condition,
and scrofulous swellings and sores, general
and nervous debility, loss of flesh and ap-
petite, weak lungs, throat disease, splitting
of blood and consumption, are among the
common results. If you are suffer from

The Lusby Habeas Corpus Case.

The deepest interest was manifested, and
a very large crowd was attracted to the
Criminal Court room yesterday to hear the
concluding argument in the habeas corpus
case before Hon. NJ. l.. Hall, in the case of
Don c. Lusby, who stands indicted for the
murder Of VIII c. MabIy, Christmas Eve.
Mr. j. w Caldwell concluded his argu-
ment commenced Monday. for the State,
and was followed by Mr.. j. C. J. Williams
for the defense. The case was then closed
for the State by Col W. A. Henderson, and
the final concluding argument made for the
defense by Maj. E. C. Camp. The court
room was literally famed during the delivery
of the concluding arguments, which were
mastery efforts in pleading.
At the conclusion of the argument, Judge
Hall announced that he would render his
decision at o'clock this morning, on the
point as to whether the prisoner shall be
admitted TO bail, and an adjournment was
had to that hour.

Col. John III. Savage.

LEBANON, TENN, April 3.-Col
John Ii. Savage spoke here to-day,
and made about the same speech he has
made heretofore at Sparta; said the
State debt was a question that could
not be settled by any Legislature,
court or party convention; can only
be settled by the people, and no settle
ment by them is binding If they choose
to undo it. Is willing to harmonic
with moderate State-credit men. But
insists on the submission plan and will
consent to no settlement which does
not include this plan. Will not har-
monize with the 1908 men, and adyis-
ed the people not to vote for such men
for any office. buy goods from them or
associate with them. They belong to
the Republican party, and the sooner
they go 10 it the better for all con-
cerned. ......
So this DISTINGUISHED patriot, states
man and soldier Is to the front again,
advising the poor, dear people.
He seems to have forgotten that
times have changed, so to speak. In
fact, he is as oblivious to what has been
and is now passing around him
as an Egyptian mummy, dead 5000
years ago.
These be brave words from brave
LITTLE man. He will next announce
to the people that one repudiationist
can whip ten 1908 men, and will get
up another rebellion on that state
ment.
The idea that the people shall not
trade or associate with men who were
for the 1908 settlement is worthy only
of the blowing, bullying braggart Of
the Confederate army, that was going
to have one Southern man whip ten
YANKEES. Away with such SMALL men
as Savage; he is too SMALL to be no.

Killed Again.

From the following, it seems that
the notorious Jesse James, whose
name has been the scapegoat for more
than hundred daringrobberies, has at
last been killed. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that the story will be contra
dicted in day or two:
A dispatch from st. Joseph, Mo-,
says, Charles and Robert Ford, who
at one time belonged to the James gang
and were engaged in the Western and
Blue Cut train rObberies. have been In
st. Joseph for week for the purpose
of arresting Jessie James, but being
afraid, 1t is alleged, to make the at
tempt, they shot him down at Thir-
teenth and Lafayette street and then
surrendered to the authorities and
were lodged in Jail. There is tre-
mendous excitement over the affair,
several thousand people being on the
streets. The wife of the desperate
was on the spot In few minutes after
the shooting and wept copiously over
his remains. The body was taken in
charge by the police. Considerable
ammunition and several weapons, in
cluding pistols and a rifle were found
in the house where the outlaw had
been stopping.
The following is later about the
killing of Jesse James. Governor
Crittenden seems to be unenviably
mixed up in the business:
KANSAS CRY, April 4.-Gov. Crit
tenden, n,who arrived here this morning,
asserts positively that the body is that
of Jesse James, and that his death
was the result of an understanding
between the authorities and Bob Ford,
who killed him, and Dick Little, who
surrendered to Sheriff Timberlke at
the same time Ford did.
The inquest at st Joseph was con-
cluded at noon to-day. Mrs. Samuels,
the mother of Jesse James, his wife,
Dick Little and Sheriff Timberlake
identified the body, and during the
proceedings Mrs. James and Mrs. Sam
uels made highly sensational scene
by attacking Little and dcalling all man
ner of curses down upon him. for hav-
ing conspired to betray his leader.
The coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict of murder in the first degree
against Ford and the authorities of
Buchanan county refused to give him
up. The body of James will probably
be taken TO an old farm near kearney,
Clay county, for burial.

From the Nashville Banner.

Some people cry aloud at the idea
of both parties dealing with the State
debt issue from the patriotic stand
point of the common good as if there
were something horrible about the
very idea. Both of the parties joined
in creating it and, with all the burden
of debt and all the trouble which has
grown out of it, they advanced Ten
nessee half century when they did it.
From the able report Of A, o. P. Mich
olson and Merdith P. Gentry in 1884
down to the war every prominent lead
er of both parties was the advocate of
the internal improvement system, sus-
tanned by an almost unanimous public.
With the exception of Hon. George w.
Jones we believe every prominent
leader favored the system. There
were Polk, Jones, both the Browns,
Neill S. and Aaron ", Trousdale,
Campbell, Andrew johnson, Harris.
We canot see why both parties should
not engage as readily and as heartily
in lifting common burden as they did
I'm creating it. 1t did not then involve
relaxing party lines, cessation of par
ty strife, or failures in party duties it
need not be followed by such results.
The duty to maintain party organiza-
tion and labor for party success exists
apart from this question and 1t is i'm
perative and for wise purposes. De-
lnocracy cannot abandon the one duty
or shirk the other.

THE DEMOCRAT.
To the Patrons. and Friends of
the Democrat.

The 10th of next month will be
three years since we launched our lit
tie bark. During that time we en-
deavored to give our readers a correct
report of the local and general news.
Our limited means and space prevent
ed us from giving as much reading
matter as we desired. We have en-
tertained the hope that we would be
able to enlarge it at the end of our
present volume, and,we trust, we will,
with the aid of our patrons and
friends. So we announce to our
friends, that with their aid, after the
10th of next month, we will en-
large to six column paper, giving
four additional columns of reading.
In order to make il sure success, we
call upon all our former patrons to, at
once, renew their subscription, SO as to
enable us to purchase the necessary
outfit We feel grateful 10 our friends
for the liberal support we have re-
ceived in the past, and feel conf
dent, from the struggle we have made,
that we will meet with increased en-
couragement in the future. We know
no such word sFAIL, we started the
DEMOCRAT to run 1t. The increasing
circulation is both gratifying and en-
couraging. While we have been the
advocate of true Democracy, we have
kept in view the prosperity Of our
county, realizing a division of the
people would result in blighting
the true interests of the whole county.
We have not sought to appeal to party,
TO make the Democrat sought after {;
but have rather aimed to show the
people the great benefits TO be derived
from harmonizing on the issues coming
before them. Nor will we be driven
into anything calculated to mar the
peace and harmony which now pre-
walls in our county. Our columns
have been open to every enterprise,
looking TO the advancement of the
real interests of our citizens, prospect
i've of party. Such will be the course
pursued in the future.
Having announced to our friends
our purpose, we trust they will give
us their aid to make their paper more
acceptable, and reflect credit Oh the
county. In proportion as you sustain
your county paper, in the same ratio
you enhance the value of property.
Business men look at your county pa
per to judge of the enterprise of its
citizens. We are not ashamed of,our
advertisements. The columns of the
DEMoCRAr speak well for our town.
Hand IN your subscription at once,
SO we eau be ready to enlarge by the
tenth.

Our Memphis Letter.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 5tl

PAHhi biot Pih
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Thinking your readers might wish
to learn something Of the happen.
ings in this taxing district, I hope
you will indulge me in using a little
of your valuable space.
You're readers have no doubt, heard of
the great flood which has inundated the
lower portions of the Mississippi val
ley, but they can hardly conceive of
the distresses that have overtaken the
inhabitants thereof. But like every
thing, whether good or evil, it must
have an end; and that end is fast ap-
preaching. The water has already
fallen so much as to permit agricultur-
al pursuits to be again resumed i'm the
less overAowed portions, and, where
crops can be got in and properly cul-
tivated, the deposits from the over
flow will abundantly recompense the
farmer, for his losses, in the increased
fertility of the soil.
You have, doubtless, heard of the
dreadful and horrifying accident
which occurred at our wharf last
Thursday morning when the steamer,
Golden City," with twenty persons,
was lost. 1t was certainly a most
striking confirmation Of the oil tru-
ism 'in the midst of life, we are in
DEATH" that has ever come under my
notice. The hour was between three
and four i'm the morning, and the
boat was just in the act of making a
landing, at our levee, when the cap
tain, in waking up his crew, took the
bottom from his lamp to remedy some
defect in the flame, and communicated
fire to some loose jute, or junk, that
WAS carlessly strewn on deck, which,
in turn, communicated instantly to a
large quantity of oil. The fire spread
with the utmost rapidity, and before
the boat could be properly fastened
to the shore, il was envelloped in
flames; then was scene enacted
which battles description, Over one
hundred souls were OH board wrap
ped in sleep, and many were only
wakened for an instant-only to be
immediately asphyxiated or strangled
by the smoke and fame. The bow of
the boat was against some fat boat
and an effort was made to fasten to ii,
but the rope parted and she drifted
off with the swift current, lighting up
both shores of the river with splen-
did but horrifying light. Stoves cir
Gus was on board at the time, and
most of the loss of life was among his
people-he and his wife and children
perishing. The animals were all lost,
But one of the bodies have been found
as yet. Truly, this is one of the sad
dest disasters that has happened on
this river in many years, and should
be fruitful of more caution upon the
part of those who have charge of the
lives and property of the travelling
public, In this case, the criminal
Larelessness of one Of the most inferi-
or officers of the boat involved the
loss of over twenty lives and half a
million dollars in money.
Politics cut but small figure here
at pesent, and there is nothing in that
line worth communicating.

RAILROAD TIME TABLE.
HARMONY.

lHC DCuAoSiAttO pui'y ih AOhhCeoVOj
is to be governed, hereafter, by har-
mony, If we are to infer from the
action of the executive committee
what the action of the party will be
when it assemblies in Convention, In
June next, to nominate candidate
for Governor.
The Dcmocatic party should under
stand, that, while harmony is essen-
tial to success, there is something
more than harmony required now.
The day has gone by, thank God
when the Democratic party can COM
maud the votes of majority of the
peoplc of Tennessee, for no other rea-
son than their candidate was in the
Confederate army. The Republican
party has not, as yet, progressed so
far as the Democratic party, but it is
getting better, in this respect.
The people of Tennessee have found
that it can make no difference
whethera man was one thing, or an
other. in the late war. The question
Now Ia, is the man honest and is he
ON the dgilt kind of platform, and
will he and his party I've governed by
the principles announced in the plat
form?
The two parties in Tennessee, and
the whole union, have been too free in
nominating old warehouses; and heroes,
without regard TO their Illness for
place and power. This course has
weltmigh broken the confidence of the
people in both parties.
If the Democratic party, when it
meets in convention, will be honest
and independent enough to announce
lust what it is for, with reference to
settlement Of the State debt, aud can
make the people believe it, then it
NAV be harmonious, and may defeat
the Republicans.
We fear that when the party meets
that there will be too many great men
there from both factions, wanting Of
flee, aud that the factions will bc jeal-
Gus of each others great men, aud
that some man, noted for being moth
ing and knowing nothing, without
capacity, will be nominated as the
Democratic Candidate for Governor.
This would be as great calamity as
to see the party split again.
The people Of Tennessee at this
time want, need and must have,
rnau Of honesty aud capacity for Gov
cruor. He should be man of firm
ness and with some definite plan in
his head by which this State debt
question can be settled. lie must be
able to make the people understand
him.
The day for thick heads, old war
horses and dead heats has passed.

Anecdote of Mrs. Partlnqton.
