The present year is an important
one with the followers of John
Wesley in this country, as it is the
centennial year of American Me-
th0dism. In many Churches
sermons have been preached on the
doctrines and progress of Method
ism, it's history and prospects. Large
revival meetings are contemplated.
The first American Methodist
society was organized in New York
in 1866, but the General Conference
organization of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in America was held
in Baltimore in December, 1884.
The Centennial Conference, there
fore, will be held in Baltimore in
December. There are about 3, $780,
900 Methodists in all branches of the
denomination in the United States.
The Church property is valued at
$40, 100000.

Circuit court for Hawkins county

Circuit court for Hawkins county
adjourned last Friday morning af-
ter a sitting of two weeks. The
State docket was a heavy one and
consumed most of the time. Most
of the cases, however, were INSIDE
meanors-or felOnies of small con-
sequence. One young negro man
was sent to the penitentiary for
three years for killing another ne
gro with a musket. The proof
showed that there was no malice
if the killing was not altogether ac
cidental, it "was jest dun fer fun, "
and so the jury found him guilty OF
involuntary manslaughter and sent
him On for three years. Charles M.
Wells, a wealthy young man of
Rogersville, who was indicted for
malicious shooting, was brought
from the insane asylum for trial,
and was pronounced insane by a
Jury aud sentenced to the care OF
DIR. Calender at his own expense.
Poor Charley, his case is a sad one.
On the civil docket nearly all the
old Bank of Tennessee cases were
disposed of, going off in compro-
mise. These cases have been in
court ever since the close of the war
and it is relief to get them out of
the way The Grand Jury remain
ed in session ten days, secured the
county from end to end from side to
side in search of aw-breakers and
succeeded in fixing things up for
two weeks term in May. We don't
know, but guess that this single
term cost the people somewhere in
in the neighborhoOd of two thousand
dollars. Our courts are tremen-
dously expensive institutions. u

The sad death of Hon. Henry
Cooper in Mexico is only one more
calamity following the great sin OF
Marsh. T. Polk. The State treasu-
ry was robbed, silver mine in Mex
leo purchased, and then, when the
robbery is discovered, an effort is
made to realize the money out OF
the mine to reimburse the State. Mr..
Cooper goes as an agent of Polk and
dies at the hands Of Mexican rob-
bers. If Polk had not robbed the
treasury of Tennessee Henry Coop
or would have been alive to-day.

Senator Mcpherson of New Jer-
sey, is of the opinion that it would
be we'll for Democrats to remember
that New York, New Jersey and
several other nerthern States are es-
sential TO party success, and that
Democratic policy should be direct
81 TO that end. The South alone
could not elect President. Charges
of outrases in that section would
not have any effect upon its vote.
Il would go Democratic anyhow,
and therefore Senators from those
States should pay moro attention to
what is necessary to secure northern
electoral votes than to answering
charges against her people. He
warned Southern Senators against
any effort to force free trade poll
cy upon the party.

Mr.. Watterson's hired man, who
blows the bellows in the absence of

about the neglect of Congress TO
appreciate the overwhelming COM
mercial Importance of whisky,
Not a word but abuse has the
hired man or the master for the
great industries of the country but
both are amazed and sorrow full, east
down, because the demand for the
whisky men for loan of $135, 000,-
900 "drags mysterieusIy." at is
even likely TO be strangled in COM
mittee," Historically calculates the
hired man. 1t is very, very sad.
Tho poor whisky makers who over
produced recklessly, and the whisky
dealers who loaded up beyond their
capacity to carry, must be cared
for.
Seriously, the whine that the law
as it stands regulating the time and
mode of removing whisky from
bonded warehouses, "oppresses the
trade previously" is as brazen a
falsehood as ever was uttered. The
producers of and dealers in whisky
knew the law when they deliberate
ly put themselves in their present
attitude. They are deserving of no
sympathy. Every man of them in
Washington lsboring for special ia
vors should be sent home with a
flea in his ear. ......
Their organs, moreover, are free
traders in all things save whisky,
for which they not only demand ex-
traordinary protection but enor-
nous free loans of money.

The contest for the Republican
nomination for Congressman in the
First District is likely to be a lively
one Hon. A. A. Taylor is in the
field warming up his friends in ev-
cry county. He has the faculty OF
infusing his own feeling into all his
followers and wherever he goes he
wakes up the young Republicans
and enlists them under his banner.
Following close, after little Aft,
comes Hon. r r. Butler, the cred
headed chieftain of the Highland
Clans the red fox of the noun
tains, full of life, energy and enthu-
siasm. The "old guard" of the Re-
publican party know the sound OF

its music winds along the val

buckle on their armor and
follow him wherever he leads.

Major wants the nomination "real
bad," be will be hard to head. We

friend, Judge Randolph, as yet, but

course wants to go to Congress. Our
Republican fellow citizens are net
going to have an easy time of it in
choosing between these eminent as
pirants. Each one has claims On
the party each has spent his time,
his talents, his breath, in fighting
the Democrats, and each one wants
his pay right now for his services,
and as only one can be chosen at a

fight, and that is just the kind of
