THE FLEHON CASE.
A good deal of noise has been made by
certain papers concerning the case of
Flemon, alias Yeldell. In 1884 a sheriff s
posse of Edgefeld county, South Caro-
lima, OF which James S. Blackwell was a
member, undertook to arrest John yell
dell and two other colored men. A fight
ensued in which Blackwell was killed.
The two companions of YeldeI were
tried and acquitted it appearing that he
had fired the shot. Yeldell escaped. A
short time ago it was ascertained that
Yeldell was living in Pittsburgh, Pa. 3,
where he is known as Rev. e. f.
FIemon. He was arrested upon requi-
sition from the governor of South Caro-
lima.
Then came the trouble. Instead of
allowing the prisoner to be turned over
to the South Carolina authorities,
large number of people, including a good
many Western Pennsylvania clergymen,
took the matter up, and raised
Yeldell from a common murderer into
great national issue. They charged that
the trouble with Yeldell was political
in its origin, and that the South Caro-
lima people only wanted to take him
back to murder him. Governor Beaver
was prevailed upon to suspend the war
rants and hold the prisoner until Rev.
George w Clinton was sent to Edgefield
county, S. c., to investigate the case.
When Clinton returned a great crowd
assembled to hear his statement to the
governor. He said he had been told that
Blackwell was not an officer, which was
true, he was only summoned for the Oc-
casion by the sheriff-that two negroes
were killed by the sheriff IS posse IN at,
tempting to make the arrest, and that
afterwards four negroes had been shot
and one drowned. A South Carolina dep
uty sheriff testified that nobody had
been shot or drowned in connection with
the Yelden case, and declared that the
prisoner would have a fair trial if sent
back to South Carolina.

give YeIdeI up, but said he would have
to communicate with Governor Richard
son in regard to the steps to be taken to
insure his safety.
IN the meantime the Jail at Pittsburg
was surrounded by an excited throng of
negroes, who were there to prevent the
prisoner from being taken away, and it
was thought that his removal would have
preoipitated trouble.
The incident amounts to little in itself,
and but serves to show the desperate
straits to which our Northern brethren are
driven to keep up feeling of sectiona al
bitterness and animosity. Suppose q
locked-out miner or mill hand in Penn
sylyania should shoot down one of Pink
erton s detectives or a member of the
''Iron Police ''-emploYed at intervals
by Millionaire Carnegie and other emin-
ent Northern philanthrophists-- es-
Gaping to South Carolina, the governor
of that state should refuse to give him up
on requisition. What a howl would 90
up from the Northern press about South
Carolina being the refuge Of criminals,
and the hiding place of outlaws.
But the case is very different when it is
reversed, you know.

IN discussing the question of railroad
legislation extremes should be avoided
Let us not cry with the cormorant, the
"railroads are above the law;'' nor
with the communee, '!'they are the chill
dren of capital and must be destroyed. -
Let US say to ourselves, ''they are the
property of private corporations,
and therefore to be respected; but
used for public purposes, and therefore
to be controlled. - Let US therefore
seek for the evil until we find it, and
then let US seek until we find proper
remedy. There is no sentiment in the
matter, and there should be no prejudice.
It is a question of business, pure and
simple. Without the railroads the peo-
pie cannot thrive; without the people
the railroads must perish. Their inter-
ests are interdependent, and should not
be jeopardized by hasty aud thoughtless
action.

GIVE US GOOD ROADS.
The Most Important Question for Fort Worth
People to Consider To-day.
MADISON, IND, Aug. l, 1889.

To the Gazette.
In your valuable paper Saturday ..{Ezy
81, 1 saw a piece on the advantages and
benefits to the city and county of good
roads. I agree with B fully in every
thing he said on the subject of good
county roads reaching out in every direc-
ton from the city. If there is one thing
that Tarrant county and the city needs
more than another it is good public high
ways Neither county nor city can af-
ford to go any longer with the present
bad and often impossible roads. The
loss to the farmer and interests of the
city is too great to plod along through
muddy roads, often in so wTetched a
condition that an empty wagon is heavy
load for horses. l have no doubt Il Is
perfectly correct when he says we are
losing q great amount of trade that would
gladly come to Fort Worth were it not
for the bad condition of our roads. This
trade rightfully belongs TO Fort Worth
and would certainly come to US, all
things being equal Mr. Editor, in the
last two or three years you have called
the attention of the people TO the great
Importance of this matter, and hope
you will continue TO do so. Trade once
lost Is hard to regain. l know of no
place where good roads can be built at a
less cost per mile than in Tarrant county,
OF where they are needed more. Every
man in the county, I care not what his
business is, be it great or small, would
be greatly benefited by the building az
good county roads. Especially thisgjs
true of the merchant and farmer. Had
we good roads running in every direction
from the city as this place has (every
road leading out of Madison is a No. l
pike) the population IN short time in
Tarrant county would be double or three
times what it is to-day, and land that is
now selling at ten to twenty dollars per
acre, would find ready sale and plenty
of buyers at double that price, and at
double the present price it would be
cheaper, had we good roads, than it is
now. You take a good farmer from any
section where he has the advantages of
good roads and show him as good land as
he ever saw, say ten miles from Fort
Worth, and let it be at time when our
roads are nearly impossible, and they
are often in this condition, and he would
scarcely take it as a gift and be COM
PEELED to live on it. The most important
thing for the people Of Fort Worth to
consider tO-dayis countyroads Good roads
win bring good farmers and plenty OF
them. We have a splendid farming
country, good market for everything
raised on a farm, q good climate, and
good, enterprising people ought to have
good roads. J g. WRIGHT.

Fort Worth rejoices in the consumma =
ton of real estate deals to the amount of
5000, 900 in the last few days. The incest
feature in these transactions is that the
purchasers do not propose to wait for the
natural advance in land values to bring
them profit on their investment, but will
proceed at once to pay out hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Improvement and
development of their property thus run
ming its value up into millions. The

things are good country roads and beef

that the Fort VIII set the rest of Texas

THIS good story come from Grenada
county, Miss: negro justice of the
peace down there had a case where an
other negro was charged with riding a
mule too hard. The proof of guilt was
positive, but the rider and his friends
thought he would get off with So fine.
You may imagine how they felt when the
court imposed a fine of $50 and thirty
days imprisonment. He said he was
determined to put stop to this thing of
50-cent niggers running $3.50 mules.

THE San Antonio Express is right; the
railroads do get the worst of it in jury
verdicts, and that is just what The GA
zETTE said: These verdicts against the
roads are travesties on Justice. But the
people were forced into the court room
by the refusal of railroad employees to
give decent consideration to claims for
damages. The roads force the people to
resort to the courts, and the result is that
he roads are robbed through law. The
roads and people of Texas are too far
apart.
