board with some of them. What we

board with some of them. What we
want is capital. We need railroad
rapid transportation, in order that
the ruinous system Of all cotton rails
ing may be done away with. We
need saw-mills and machinery TO
convert our immense forests of val
liable timber into manufactured and
mcrchantable lumber and wares.
With slow transportation, the skin
ming manipulations Of Commission
Merchants who handle the cotton
crops, and the present system of
cropping, the small farmer, as a gen.
eral rule, are kept from one to two
years behind hand. When capital
lists know and understand the situa-
tion, when cheap and rapid transpor-
tation is had, then it will be that the
large cotton plantations will be diyi-
ded up, and the attention of the ag-
riculturists be turned to diversity
of crops that will be marketable at
all seasons Of the year, and instead
of the land producing $40 worth of
cotton nper acre at cost of $40, from
500 to 5000 will be realized on the
acre in fruits, berries, vegetables,
grain, poultry, hogs, beef &c. The
time has not yet come for a call for
a general immigration to Mississippi
county. Capital and railroad first,
and immigration will follow without
bidding. We invite enterprise and
capital; we have a boundlcss field
for both.

The employees Of the iron'mill
throughout the north are on a strike
for higher wages, but the bosses say,
" there are plenty of labarers looking
for work, who will be glad to take
their places at less wages" That is
some of the beauties resulting from
the encouragement of immigration.
Just think Of the weekly hordes ar
irving at Castle garden, who are
swelling the number of strikers for
bread throughout the country. Is it
any wonder that the country is over
run with tramps!

BOB AND THE BIG BOSS At
THORN HILL.

MoRRIsTOwN, TENN Oct. o. 1881
To the Editor Of the Morristovn Gazette:
Seeing letters from different parts Of
the county, thought | would write

mountain, and | find over on the
north side some goo! PEOPLE. Some
of them are Democrats and some Re
publicans. | met with merchan!s,
farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths and
a few preachers, and am telling you
the bible truth when | say fou"d Il
majority of them tor Hon. r. i. Tay-
lor for Congress. l heard Taylor and
Pettibore speak at Thorn Hill Mon
dlv. Mr.. Taylor spoke first and made
good speech. In concluding his
speech he asked Maj PettibOne to tell
the people what he had been doing in
Congress for he last two ears, and
why he hadn't done what he promised
them he would do two years ago. The
Mai. took the stand and spuk' his time
out. The burden of his spe, ch was
he was the only man ia Granger c"un-
ty that was personally acquainted with
Garfield; he said Garfield was his cd
school mate; that they were boys to-
gether: that te had went to school to
Garfield; he saw Guiieau hung and
was one Of the guards on The occasion;
had a piece Of the rope that stretched
Guiteau's neck. lie said when he WIS
el, c,ed TO Congress aud went TO the
capitol that Garfield was the fl ST man
70 meet and shake hands With BIN.
lie also said he vote against "A white
man to put a negro in.o the Treasury
Depar tment at Washing on. The Maj.
was mad because he did not get much
credit for wi a. he hal done. He said
that he was censured for many things;
that if 1t rained too much or didn't
rain enough It was that mean Petit
bone: that if you fell down aud broke
your l.g il was that mean Pettibohe;
If a hawk came along and caught ytnr
chickens it was that mean Pettib0ne.
The Major must be terribly mean
man to think the people had such a
bad opinion of him. He Is evidently
grieving after Garfield; he knows
that Ca. fields coat tail dragged Linn
into Congress two years ago. Dir.
In his rejoinder, askel the
il Pettibone had answered his
spoech--if he had answered a single
question lie Taylor had ask 4 him
and shouts went up all over the audi
snce, 10! no no! And it was JUS
that way, he had answered. mailing

knees, and BY the 9Th day OF Novein-
Der he will be so weak lie caa't stand |

TAYLOR AND PETTLBONE At BIG
CREEK.

Aspecial to the Knoxville Tribune
of October 9th, from Morristown,
says: Taylor and Pettibone, can
didates for Congress, spoke ut Big
Creek, Cooke county, to-day to an
audience of four or five hundred
persons. PettibOne had the lead
and for one hour made the tdmeSt
speech that has been uttered by him
for years. He made no pretonse at
discussing the measures and issues
of real interest to the people. His
harangue consisted of personalities
and self-praise-the great work done
by him for his district. He Haunted
the bloody shirt and labored to get
up an excitement and arouse the
old war prejudices of his hearers.
His failure to do so however, was
apparent to every one present. Mr.
Taylor came to the rostrum amid
the greatest applause. He had the
strictest attention, and his reply was
all that his most ardent admirers
could have asked for. He proved
that he was laboring in the interest
of the toiling masses, and fighting
the rich mOnopolies and millionaires
wherever they may be. His speech
was delivered in a sensible, eloquent
and statLsmanlike manner, and
suited the people in every particu-
lar. He is making much better and
more effective speeches this year
than he did two years ago. The
crowd present was drawn largely
from Republican district; yet,
from the enthusiasm and demonstra=
tons, a stranger would have sup
posed it to be entirely Democratic.
lie is surely gaining strength at
every point he speaks, while the
carpet-bag knight Of the Revenue
Ring shows himself to be weaken
ing every day. Verify, the die is
cast. The handwriting is on the
wall. From what we have seen and
heard to-day in a Republican strong
hold, Pettibone will be beaten this
time by the Mountain Boy of Carter,
worse than he was four years ago,
and henceforth will be out Of the
way of decent Tennessee Repubfi-
cans. Remember the prediction.

Two YOUNG men living on the

county, named John and James
King wanted to be considered great

were great. They called themselves

that they would achieve fame by
charging on a Sunday-school. Just

pie, men, women and children,
when the dreaded, heroic liking
Boys" dashed down upon, firing
their pistols and yelling like Co

And now John and Jim have to go

spell. No doubt the King boys
wish now that they had never read
the lives Of the James boys.

The ACCOUNT we have from north
of Clinch mountain is that Petit
bone and Taylor are having large
audiences at every appointment,
and that good order prevails. Even
at Lyle's Ford the people were quiet
Rogersville is the only place where
there has been any disorder-and
that is understood to be on account
of the presence of Judge Randolph.

TO CONFERENCE VIA NORRIS
TOWN

The Holston Annual Conference, NJ.
E. Church, South, meets at Asheville,
N. C., October 25th. The travelling
preachers of the Conference number 173
and the Lay Delegates elected by the
District Conference are about 40. 1t is
fair to presume that over 100 ministers
and lay members of the Conference will
pass through Morrist0wn to go up
French Broad on the railroad to North
Carolina. As there Is only one train a
day, there will be a very good opportu-
nify for our people 10 renew the &C
ouaintances made in 1880, during the
session of the conference here. IL Is
hoped that the railroad Will make simple
provision for giving the conference
pleasant trip this year, as trip to Ashe-
willie In other days was with hard ndr
ing and much delay.

The GREAT issue before the Amer
lean people in the next Presidential
canvass will be the tariff reform. If
the Democratic party will come out
fair and square on this question, for
the people and against the "mOnop-
Olists" will demand tariff for rev.
enue only-the old party will win.
There is only one way to defeat the
Republican party, and that is to stir
up the people. Present some meas
IRE for the good of the people and
appeal to them to vote for their cwn
interest. Then the party viii win.
Just as long as political contests are
only for office-with no great prin-
ciple at stake-the Republicans will
win, because that party can always
command more money than the
Democrats, and as long as the peo-
Die have no stake In the election
votes enough can be bought to turn
the scale. Only once let the solid,
honest people wake up, let them see
that the Democratic party means to
work for them and Just at that time
YOU will see the Republican party
20 out of power-and go out to
stay.
