1t is a little singular how "facts"

many of our contemporaries are so dis
torted, until there is only that in them
which the father of fbs alone could
perpetrate. Last month, in the New
York Tl1b"ne, there was long medley
of hash, full of misrepresentation and
misleading and downright incorrect
statements. We know the author of
the letter and we krow the inspirer,
and we do not wonder the writer, with
such muse, failed to hold "the mirror

paragraph comes along, in the Chatta-

again torturcs the truth. From such

cumbed to that prevalent newspaper
disease, ''insufhciency of patronage"

By the advertisement of the Rugby
Canning Company, in another column,
it will be seen that good progress is
being made and that the machinery will
very shortly be upon the ground. The
canning project has received much
favorable comment from the press, with
every confidence Of its great success,
coupled with some surprise that a
factory has not long ere this been estab-
lished in Tennessee. That it will be a
success there is little or no room for
doubt, and those gentlemen who have
SO theoretically kept the idea warn,
until it was put into practice, are to be
much congratulated upon having found
that of which one may say if there are
not millions" there sis money in it. "

The Englishman's proud boast that
the sun never sets upon the British
Empire, is equally applicable to the
United States. The Rocky Mountain
Presbyterian says: "When the sun is
giving it's goodnight kiss to our western
most isle, on the confines of Behring's
sea, it is already flooding the fields and
forests of Maine with its morning light,
and in the eastern part of the State is
more than an hour high. At the very
moment when the Aleutian fisherman,
warned by the approaching shades OF
nigh', is pulling his canoe towards the
shore, the wood-chopper of Maine is
beginning to make the forest echo with
the stirring music of his AK.

The coal mines on the Cincinnati
Southern road directly are at Helen
wood, Glen Mary, lockwood, Spring
City, Dayton, Soddy Tor Rathbun, and
at Melville. The Glen Mary mines are
now probably the most extensive ship
pers OF coal alone, but Soddy does a
large business of coal and coke COM
bned The Glen Mary mines are well
managed by MIR. Clark, son of the indie
fatigable Cyrus Clark. They ship
about twenty cars, or $50 to 800 tons
per day, of domestic and steam coal.
They are now making coke from their
slack, and hope to find a good market
for it. 1t had the appearance of being
a good furnace fuel. They have up
fourteen ovens, and expect to erect &c

The object of ensilage is to maintain
the sap as nearly as possible in its
original state, without having under
gone either the transformation into
grain and straw, or the fermentation of
haying. That this is mainly effected is
proved by all the dairy farmers in the
Union, from the fact that the butter
made from the milk Of cows fed ON en-
silage has the rich yellow color and
flavor that is not to he found in winter
when COWS cannot get into the pastures,
and are fed upon hay, roots and grain.

"Frankland" East Tennessee.

In an interesting article in the
Detroit Eve ing News, entitled "Some
Lost States" we find the following: SIN
1884 North Carolina coded her western
lands to the generalg government. Among
them were certain counties in East
Tennessee, whose people revolted at the
secession, met in Jouesboro' in Deem
Der, and formed separate organization
called FARMLAND. Sewer, brigadier-
general Of the military district, was
made Governor in March, 1885, and
ruled after fashion for year or two,
until an armed collision occurred be-
tween his militia aud force under Col.
Upton, leader of party favoring
allegiance to North Carolina. The
Governor" was defeated and taken to
prison in irons and with his incarcer-
alton expired the embryo State"
In some old records, once referred to
by Daniel Webster in Congress, is found
IA reference to this State" showingthe
way payments were made when the
people had no money. 1t was enacted
that salaries should be paid as under:
ellis Excellency the Governor, per
annum, 1000 deer skins;
"His Honor the Chief Justice, 500
deer skins or 500 raccoon skins;
'The Treasurer of the State, 45O

The following relating to Mr.. SCOTS
death, was in the Chattanooga Times
of Tuesday:
'Sam Scott, one of the most noted
characters Of Morgan county, Tenn,
and well known throughout East Ten
nessee, died last Thursday at his home
near Wartburg. Scott was the heaviest
man in East Tennessee, his light weight
being 800 pounds, and his heavy weight
$40 pounds, and it is thought his death
was due to his extreme obesity. He
was about SIT. Sin. tall, but his body
vas pulled out to-an abnormal size, ana
be could scarcely walk. His physicians
would not allow him to lie in bed. and
he slept in very peculiar position,
usually kneeling, with his head resting
on chair. 1t is said he would sleep
in this apparently uncomfortable atti-
tude as soundIy as he would on a bed
of down.
He disregarded his physicians advice
Thursday and went to bed as any other
person, and died during the night, it is
thought from asphyxia.
He was political power in Morgan
county and an acknowledged leader OF
the Republican party.
Deceased was Il son of Julian Scott.
one of the best known men in the
county, who was drowned last year, and
who played conspicuous part in Mark
Twain's writings, the author having
formerly been his companion"

death was occasloned by apoplexy,

and superabundance Of flesh. He leaves
widow and several small children to
mourn his loss but, fortunately, the
family are in comfortable circum-
stances.
Mr. Scott was a native of Morgan
county, and enjoyed a large circle of
relatives and friends. He was indie
pendent in his manner of action, out
spoken and fearless in danger, strong
partzan, and II generous friend. If be
was your friend, he was your friend all
over, and never deserted you, let come
what would. If he was sometimes
