A crazy man is roaming through the
town and is a dangerous character to be
loose in any community. He carries a
razor constantly in sight and challenges
every man he meets to fight. His visits
to households when the men of the fam
lily are absent at work cause great fear
among the women and children, as he
uses threatening language and brandish-
es his razor as if to do harm. Lately he
spends most of his time hiding about
farm buildings and takes to the woods
when pursued. He claims to have been
with circus six years, and has evident
ly escaped from some asylum or ran
away from home. He is a regular nui-
sance to the town and if not legally
'abated" may come to a sudden end, as
men are not going to stand much longer
having their lives and those of their
families constantly endangered by
crazy tramp.

THE COTTON TAX.

The people Of Tennessee and oil the
whole South owe Representative Enloe n
debt OF gratitude for again recalling the
attention OF Congress TO the cotton tax
unjustly assessed upon the Southern peo-
Pile just after the civil war as one OF the
many cruelty conceived and oppressive
measures OF retaliation by the Radical
leaders Of the Republican party. Nearly
10000 600 OF this tax have been covered
into the Federal Treasury under decision
Of the Federal Supreme Court. This vast
sum OF money lies there doing no one any
good. Why not return II to the States
from whom it was collected in the sums
set opposite their names on the tax
rolls Of the Treasury Justice would
say that this should BIO done, es.
pccially since it is generally agreed
that il would DO impossible TO re-
turn il TO the original taxpayers. The SUI
preme Court has said that the tax was un-
constitutional aud, therefore, wrong and
unjust What does the law do when it
finds mn individual guilty Of injustice and
inficlng wrong upon another 1t COM
pels him 30 make restitution. The Fed
eral Government, representing the aggre-
gate OF all the individuals OF the Republic,
representing their power and justice,
should not have waited thus long TO do
justice to the South in this matter II
should have made restitution the moment
the Supreme Court appriscd it OF its in
Justice. But it il never too late to mend.
II can make restitution now. II in no
other way, by restoring the money 10 the
States thus robbed in the form Of pcrina-
nont school fund.
