The Tullahoma correspondent of the Ban
ner says: This town will soon, perhaps, put
on airs In the shape of electric lights. Ne
gotiations are pending to that effect, and
nothing seems to be in the way Of success
H. p. Maynard viii soon have in operation
here O rubber stamp factory on large scale.
He has 81 900 invested, and proposes to make
it a success. The Faulkners, of McMinn-
vile, have made propositions to our citizens
in regard to moving their mandatory of
improved mill machinery to this point.
Their propositions have been accepted, and
the result is that we will have the manufac-
tory--perhaps. Real estate is booming here
and is appreciating rapidly in value. Not
less than ninety lots have changed hands
this fall. Tullahoma has increased at least
fifty per cent. in population in the last three
years.
A special to the American from Spring
field, dated the 9th ult., says: Yesterday
evening Pete Jones, a negro boy confined
in jail for going armed, and for attempted
rape, was found dead In the corridor of the
jail, with his head mashed to jelly, and it
looks as If he had been murdered by Ernest
Northington, white man and fellow-pris
oner, as they were the only prisoners in the

he was found dead the negro allied to tile
jailor's wife to make Mr.. Northington let
him alone; but as the prisoners frequently
quarreled she thought nothing of the mat
ter, till Northington told her the negro had
fallen Of the top of a cell door and killed
himself. A jury of inquest was impaneled
to investigate the matter, but have not yet
decided how the negro came to his death.
There Is a strong belief that he was murder
ed. Northington is a desperate character.
He is charged with stealing a mule from a
negro.

Murdered by a Lover.
Lnndn EnLl

a horrible story of murder and
suicide comes from Scotland. A
medical student named VIM. Brown
residing in village of Lancashire,
near Glasgow, had recently been
paying his court to Miss Spiers.
Jealousy on Browns part had caus-
ed many disputes, and his morbid
disposition had recently given great
uneasiness to the relatives of the
girl. Last night Brown met Miss
Spiers by appointment in the high
way, near her fathers home. He
renewed his accusations and finally,
becoming beside himself with rage,
he drew a knife and made rush at
the unfortunate girl. Her Shrleks
brought maid servant, who had
probably been on the watch, to the
rescue, and the two women strug-
gled desperately in the darkness
for their lives. Brown quickly
overpowered them, cut Miss Spiers'
throat in such manner that her
death resulted almost instantly, and
fatally stabbed the. servant. He
then cut his own throat and fell be-
side his victims. The servant,
whose wounds did not Immediately
render her unconscious, managed
to crawl back to the house. She
knocked family at the door, but
receiving no reply she traced with
her bloody fingers on the doorstep
the following words: "Willie did
it." Later IN the night the pro-
longed absence of Miss Spiers and
the servant caused feeling of alarm.
Search was Immediately made, and
Brown and his sweetheart were
found lying side by side in the road
way, and the servant on the thresh-
old, all dead. The parties were
eminently respectable and well
known,

Our temperance position seems to
have placed us in that unenviable atti-
tude so graphically described in the
old expression, between the devil and
the deep blue sea" Some of our
friends who take an occasional smile
are not pleased with our proposition
to make drinking disreputable and
the prohibition people are emphatic
in pronouncing us a secret ally of the
whiskey dealers, kind of wolf in
sleeps clothing that wraps up a spe-
cious plea for drunkenness in very
plausible temperance talk. They cred
it us with the capacity of blowing hot
and cold at the same time. Between
the two we catch what tradition says
Patty gave the drum, and we are not
likely to get credit for good intentions
in either quarter.
But the CHRONICLE is a great news
paper and has a high mission to per-
form. We don't expect to please
everybody and we must hew right
close up to the mark without any re-
gard to how the chips scatter. We
are strictly for temperance but we
don't believe prohibition will ever
prove effectual until there has been n
great change in public sentiment 1t
has failed in Maine and would fail in
Tennessee. The fact is you cant leg
islate moral reform, it must come
gradually and by education. The pub
lie must be trained to look on drunk
enness as a crime and then and not
until then will the habit be banished
from amongst the reputable classes.
. The public sentiment that demands
that women shall not drink is very
efFectual in keeping the weaker sex
sober, and it would have the same
Statutory influence ON men if drunk
enness was publicly regarded as deep
a disgrace in man as it is in woman.
IT'S no use to try to put down the
whiskey seller until you have first
abolished the whiskey drinker.

IT is a nauseating announcement
that Sergeant Mason, recently pardon
ed by the President, will be exhibited
on the stage by an enterprising Yam
kee Snowman All the gush that has
been expended over Mason was ex-
tremely disgusting and this last dem
onstration of sentimental vulgarity in
his behalf cannot be otherwise than
most revolving to the more decent
portion OF the American public.
Nothing can be told of Mason except
that he attempted to murder a prison
err whom he was detailed to guard.
The character or crime of the prisoner
in no way ameliorates the Nervousness
of the attempted assassination. Yet
Mason has been lionized and gushed
over and is now to be glzed. at by gap
ing crowds and admired as a hero,
while a shrewd Snowman grows rich
on the proceeds of such disgusting

THE Golden Club is an organization
composed of rich English capitalists
for the avowed purpose of keeping
down manufacturing in other coun-
tries in order that England may main
tain her supremacy in that particular.
This club has been very active in its
efforts to secure legislation looking to
free trade in the United States. To
break down manufacturing here
would he to increase England's wealth
and insure that nation continued
power and prosperity. 1t is as a
manufacturer alone that England can
be great. Her commercial prosperity,
if not her existence as nation, de-
ponds on finding foreign markets for
her manufactured goods. For this
reson she seeks to drive all competit-
ors from the field and British gold is
freely spent to abolish the American
tariff laws. The emisaries of the Cob
den Club are not all Englishmen, how
ever, the organization has large
membership in the United States
among whom may be mentioned Mr..
Henry Watterson.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat,
which has the largest circulation of
ans paper in the Gulf States, and may
be considered a fair exponent of South
ern thought, has come out for Randall
for Speaker. Manager Burke tele-
graphed the following to that paper
from Washington
with the highest respect and warm
personal regard for Carlisle, of my
native State, find him supported by
all the leading free traders OF the coun-
try. Our convictions regarding the
best interests of the growing indus
trial South dictates the expression of
the Times-Democrat's preference for
the election of Randall for Speaker"
1t is too late now to make any dis
cussion of the Speakership question,
for before this issue of the CHRONICLE
is fairly circulated, the matter will
have been determined, and Mr.. Speak
er, whoever he may be, will be fairly
seated gavel in hand, ruling on the
motions of gentlemen from various
states. But we wish to say this, if
Carlisle is defeated it will be because
his friends, notably the Courier-Jour-
nal, have persistently urged him as
the exponent of free trade ideas. Car
Isle is personally preferred by every
Southerner, to Randall, but this sec
ton of the Union, above all others, is
opposed to free trade, and every
Southern vote that goes for Randall
may be considered as a vote against
free trade heresy. There are doubtless
some Southern Congressman who be-
lieve in a revenue tariff with incident
al protection who will vote for Car
Isle in spite of the unsubstantial issue
that has been forced into the canvass.
Such Congressman are in accord with
the CHRONICLE.

THE Tennessee cotton mill, at Nash
vile, has Just declared a dividend equal
to an annual dividend of fourteen per
cent, after having quite recently dou-
bled its capacity. The cotton mills
North and East are complaining of
hard times, but in the South there
seems to be no reason for complaint.

Why won't cotton mill in Clarks-
vile pay as well as one in Nashville ?
Or do Clarksville capitalists find bet
ter investment for their money than
in manufacturing establishment that
only pays fourteen per cent in annual
dividends? Factories generally build
up a town, increase trade and enhance
the value of property. GAINESVILLE

Literary Notices,

The boys and girls will be delight
ed with the December number OF
their favorite magazine, st. Nicho.
las. This excellent periodical is
always filled with the most choice
productions, suitable for young peo-
pie, and the number under cOnsid-
GRAFTON is more than usually attract
i've. The first piece is a new poem
from the pen Of the now venerable
John G. Whittier, elbow the Rob
ms Came" "Almon, AURA and
Mona" is new story by Julian
Hawthorne, begun in this number.
The magazine is filled with other
select stories and choice articles and
is handsomely illustrated. The
names of the authors who contrib
ute to st. Nicholas are alone suffi-
GENTLY significant of its superior
merit. Address the Century Co.,
New York.
The Century for December fully
sustains the reputation for excel
lence which that popular magazine
has so long borne. There is large
steel engraving frontispiece portrait
of Peter Cooper, and Mrs. Susan N.
Carter contributes an anicdotal pa
per which throws much light on
the ideas and various benificences
of that great philanthropist. "The
Pretenders to the Throne OF France
is an excellent character sketch of
Prince Napoleon, the Comte de
Paris and the other Bourbons and
BOnapartists who may be consider
ed as probable heirs to the French
throne. 1.-THE Fairest County in
England" is an interesting paper on
Devonshire. The Second INSTALL
ment of Mr.. George w. Cables new
novel, CDR. Sewer" appears in this
number. 1t is story of Southern
life just prior to the breaking out of
the civil war and, as Mr.. Cable is
among the most able of Southern
authors, the novel will, of course,
be of great interest to Southern
readers. The anonymous story,
"The Bread Winners" which has
attracted so much attention will be
completed in January. Robert

cles from foreign publications. The
opening article is an admirable
sketch of Victor Hugo by the poet
SWinburn. "Titles" is the name of
an interesting and very scholarly
article by the English historian
freeman. An historical sketch OF
'Inez de Castro" reads like a high
" colored romance and will be
iound very entertaining. Another
