The United States Off

smoking tobacco manufac-
turers of North Carolina
use less stems, scraps, strip
pings and sOGste than in
any other State.

the largest smoking to-

THE LEDGER "AGAIN IN
DORSED"-THE PEOPLES
CAUSE SUSTAINED.

We announce tho decision Of the
Supreme Court, declaring the 1908
coupon act unconstitutional, with no
common satisfaction. Law and JUS
tice stand signally if not unexpectedly
vindicated, and the prerogative of
State sovereignty is unimpaired. The
letters that were prepared for freemen
and placed upon their wrists, have
been stricken off before the key was
turned and placed in the
pockets Of the bondholder. A court
that could resist the Establishments
and the upheld threats of the power
full political and social agencies en-
ployed to influence this question and
force a settlement, deserves the last
ing gratitude of all true Tennesseans.
The names of Freeman, Turney and
mcfarland will be written high in the
Pantheon of the peoples affections.
The motives of the other two need
not be questioned. They are gen.
tlemen of high legal attachments,
and unsullied character, but sadly out
of harmony with the ideas which have
prevailed since this State was founded.
This is not a time for undue demon.
stration, but deep in the hearts of all
men who can eliminate selfish interests
and partisanship there will be sense
of profound gratitude and pleasure at
the defeat of the most powerful and
audacious combination Of moneyed
rings that ever raised its head in the
South. The injunction bill which
originated in Memphis and was mainly
fought from here though Memphis
and Middle Tennessee attorneys was at
first no bigger than a mans hand. But
in that cloud was the germ of eternal
right and the latent lightnings of
justice. The thunder clap has come,
the bolt has fallen and in its light we
shall see that some very tall timber
has been riven to the ground.
All honor to the few men
who had the courage to inaugurate
this movement, and to the attorneys
who, by their superb ability and efforts,
won victory for the constitutional
rights Of the people in the face of a
hundred millions of defiant capital,
The attempt to dismantle a sovereign
State was defeated. Goliath lies
On bis face, and the PhlistineS
are retreating over the hill to
form new lines. The battle is not
over; the snake is not dead, but it is
terribly wounded. The people who
oppose the Coercion Act can fall into
line upon policy that will vindicate
the honor of the State without impov-
erishing the taxpayers and producers,
or doing injustic to our creditors.
This is the great question now to be
considered. The LEDGER has been
fighting it out on this line for ten
years, and is in for ten years more if
necessary. We congratulate the people
upon this days good news, and hope
that such prudent counsels will pre-
vail as to lead to an early equitable
and final disposition Of the ve1ed
State debt question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A telegram from
albuquerque, New Mexico, gives what is
probably another version of the Indian
outrage story from Chihuahua, tele-
graphed last night. 1t is as follows:
"A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexico.
says: The recent massacre in Casas
Grandes by Indians proves to have been a
horrible affair. A band of Apaches, num-
bering five hundred, crossed the border
and descending upon the little town,
began an indiscriminate massacre. Fully
seventy-ive persons fell victims, and
several girls and women were carried off
by the sayages. A large quantity of stock
and other property was stolen. The houses
of the unfortunate Mexicans were
burned, and the dead bodies stripped of
their clothing and jewelry. The murder
ed persons were among the wealthiest
classes, several of the most prominent
families heing among the victims. Troops
have been dispatched to the scene, but the
Indians have long start and their cap
ture is not eXpected.''

fire. In the course of his cross-eXamina-
ton he said so far from having made over
lures to Dickson at the celebrated inter

son himself in roundabout way invited

Bowen answered that the government
probably did, Dickson then asked how

that he had no authority to make
tenders. Dickson gave Bowen
to understand that it rested with
him whether the jury would convict or
acquit. Bowen closed the conversation
by promising to communicate DicksOn's
proposition to the Department Of Justice.
1t was communicated TO Mr.. Brewster

filling, concluded to have nothing to do
with the affair and refused to meet Dick
