GAINESVILLE, TENN, January l5.-Our
receipts are fair for the period Of the year,
and are composed now both Of old and new
crop. The sales for the week ending to-day
were go hOgsheads. The market was ir-
regularly sitter on leaf but not otherwise
changed. Small offerings Of the new crop
are beginning 10 appear upon the
market, but as is usual at this sea-
son. they are Of the poorer crops.
and generally in unsafe order. The stock
OF lues i'm this market is greatly reduced
under the steady demand of the past few
months, and are no longer In full supply.
The loose tobacco market has again been
active. under full purchases by stemmers
and country prizers, who are picking over
the field for selections Of the unsOld crops.
Planters seem very Indifferent about prepa-
rations for the next crop.

News Carriers Long Ago.

A writer In the scotsman says. II re-
member in 1914, while | was on "A visit 10
Edinburgh, Of the great excitement and ex-
ultatiOn over the news that the French had
been driven out Of Holland. The popular
tune OF the day was Orange Boom and il
used to be sung by the Dutch sailors march
ing up and down beth Walk. The Allies
we're then approaching Paris, and the latest
intelligence Of their movements came by the
mail which Travelled by way Of Newcastle
upOn-Tyne. Berwick. POrtobello and Leith,
taking sixty hOurs-twO DAYS and three
mghts-Detween London and Edinburgh.
Crowds used 10 assemble every morning
about o'clock nj the head Of Leith Walk
to see the mail arrive; and if there was q
victory OF other good news to tell, il was
made known soon after by the hosting
Of a nag on a green branch ON the
coach. In such away Edinburgh learn
ed word Of the Allies having entered
Paris and preparations were at once set on
foot for the illumination Of the city. Ii was
not long after this that the first
'acceleration OF the mails took place
| by the running Of two-h0rse
curricle mail, carrying no passcn-
gers. which LEFT the Newcastle and Berwick
road, near Morpeth, and crossed soutra
Hill, thus saving about twelve hours on the
| Journey. some time later a second mail a
day was put on, going by way OF Preston
and the west side. In the old mails no one
was allowed % sit behind except the guard
armed with his blunderbuss and pistols; but
that regulation was not adopted BY the new
mails, and by-and-by was discarded by the

NOT THAT KIND OF NEGRO.
Why Bishop Turner Favors the Afrl-
can Deportation Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Post today
publishes long letter from III. NJ. Turner,
Disnop Of tile a. M L. Cndfen 0I georgia u
ex-senator Bruce. strongly favoring Senator
Buffers negro deportation bill.
In his letter he says Senator Bruce is right
in declaring it to be nonsense to talk about
sending all the blacks back to Africa, If he
had in contemplation those of the blacks
"who have no faith in the negro, or his pos
sibilities, or even his future probabilities
who worship white gods who would rather
be white dog on earth than black cherub
in heaven; who are fools enough to believe
the devil is black, and therefore that all who
are black are econsanguinously related to him.
And still another portion of us who would
rather be a white mans scullion than black
mans prince. who regard Africa as next
door to hades, while it is the rich
est continent under heaven. And still
another another class OF us who. while pro-
as hard to dissuade young ministers
from going with the gospel to the land of
our progenitors, as If they were going to
leap over fatal precipice; who pretend to
pc serving God, and have no aim higher
tnan 10 get TO heaven to be white; who pro-
fess faith in bodily resurrection from the
to be white.
mot court in the nation has given de-
clsion IN favor Of the black man in II years.
The Supreme Court is an organized mob
against the negro, and every subordinate
court In the land has caught its spirit.
Senator Buffers bill, Bishop Turner as
serts, will enable at least 100000 self-reliant
piacK men TO go where they can work out
a future arena for useful activity. Africa,
ne thinks, Is specially fitted to be the future
theatre OF the elevated and cultured negro.
1t IS the giant continent of the world, in his
opinion, the Eden Of earth. and will in time
De the heart OF the globe, sanitarily, CONNER
cially and evangelically.

PRISON HORRORS.
story OF Cruelty Told by an Ex-con-
vict.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 17.-For some time,
there have been vague rumors of bad state
of affairs in the Missouri penitentiary, the
chief charge being brutal cruelty. An ex-
convict has made sensational statement
detailing cruelty of the most horrible charac-
ter.
The use Of the lash in the prison is com
mon. A man goes to the whipping pest,
not with the feeling that he is being pun
iShed for some infraction of the rules but to
crafty the ill-feeling of some guard whose
enmity he has incurred. Deputy Warden
Bradbury is the one whose duty it is to
WELD the rawhide.
The culprit is brought to the post. His
hands are tied to the post, near the ground,
leaving him in STOPPING position. His
neck Is placed under the stocks, which are
then fastened so that he cannot jerk his
head away. The warden tucks MS shirt
sleeves carefully above his elbows takes the
rawhide in his hand, plants his feet firmly,
and with full swing Of his powerful arm,
down comes the whip with a swish and
crack upon the bare back of the prisoner. As
the deputy warden warns up to his work,
the welt, assume first red, then a blue hue,
and finally, the blood trickles down over his
back in little streams. Again and again the
lash, soft and pliable with the warm blood,
curls around the naked form Of the crouch
ing and shrinking prisoner, until either the
allotted punishment has been inflicted, or
else the prisoner faints from the pain and
torture.

sAWTELLE ON HANGING.
A Composition Of Many Years Ago
Which Is Eloquent Now.

WEsTBoRo. March 17.-Thirty-two years
ago Isaac Sawtelle was an inmate Of the
Westboro reform school, and at that time g.
w. Hodgkins Of this village was an employe
Of the institution. Recently, in looking
over some old papers, Mr.. Hodgkins came
across the following composition on Capital
Punishment" written by Sawtelle. who was
members of the debating society connected
with the school:
Mr.. PTestdent-The question for debate is
this: Shall capital punishment be abolished? l
don't know whether IL ought to be or not.
think II 1t ought to be abolished the state would
have 1t abolished. II they did not pass law that
all murderers should be hung, persons would be
afraid Of their livef they would be afraid TO sleep
in their own houses. / think in some cases Il
would be well to send them to state prison for
life, and then they would have chance to reflect
on their past life. and may be led to ask forgive
ness OF Him who has power to forgive them. l
have no doubt there Is many a man who has
violated the laws OF the state, and ere he Is
brought before the gall0ws repented Of his sins.
How must man feel when he Is in this situation?
Would he not give all the world II he could be
pardoned? II they were sent to state prison
they might try to get free. l think there would
be great many more murders II we did not have
this law of capital punishment.
