The March Conrention-Its Necessity.

TO the Editor of The Herald and
News:-The Convention Of Farmers
which met in Columbia in March last,
met for the purpose Of selecting can
didate for Governor, whose name
should be presented to the Democratic
Convention for that position. This
course was necessitated because of the
fact that it was apparent that unless it
was settled beforehand that there
would be number of names before the
Convention, and in that way the far
mers would divide their strength, and
perhaps be defeated, when, if united,
the contrary would be the result. 1t is
we'll that this course was adopted, for
it is apparent from the fuss made by
outsiders, that by so doing the farmers
have scored a victory, and the opposi-
ton feels that the day is lost to them
unless they can put something in
motion to dissatisfy the farmers with
the action taken.
It is really and truly the old fight Of
the University against the Agricultural
and Mechanical College-the latter was
thought to he dead when it was appar-
emily defeated at the session Of the
Legislature of 1887, its friends had been
defeated at that session 'horse, foot and
dragoons," and the University men
were jubilant, but on the death of Mr..
Clemson there was a change, and the
supposed corpse was resurrected and
was given new life, but there is a
chance to defeat the college yet, or at
least to strip it Of its strength. If a
Legislature should be elected opposed
to it this will be done, or even With a
Legislature favorable to it ifa Governor
should be elected opposed to it he
might veto any appropriation made
for its support. Then, farmers, watch
closely, and do not allow yourselves to
be used to defeat your own chosen
interests. In. Mr.. Tillman you have
one who is tried and true, one devoted
to your interests. He is a successful
farmer, he is true to all of your inter
ests, he has the courage Of his convic-
tions, he is tried and true Democrat
of the '76 type, and he is an honest
man. Let not your enemies divide
your ranks by bringing distrust be-
tween you and him, for just so surely
as you do your cause and your interests
will suffer thereby. SEvENTl-sIX.

cHATTANoocA's RAPID GROWTH.
Gateway to the South Developing
Rapidly and Substantially.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aprn 12.-Chatta
noOga Is marked Illustration Of the princi-
pie that the military strategic points of a
country and its points Of commercial impor-
tance are generally the same.
Both Gems Grant and Sherman in their
grand stratagem during the late war held
Chattanooga pre-eminently the key to the
South, and it is now likewise becoming the
great commercial city of the South.
So rapidly is 1t developing that the predic-
tion year ago of Bon. Abram S. Hewitt as
to its growth Is more than partially fulfilled.
The influx of new capital from the North,
East and West, and the accession OF new en-
terprises are matters of daily occurrence.
No city in the South exhibits such rapid
yet nominal growth. Within the past five
years it has more than doubled its popula-
tion, going from 5000 to 60,000
The activity, thrift and push OF its people
are so great that already they are overrun-
ming the corporate limits of the city in their
progress towards East Chattanooga.
This portion of the valley Of Chattanooga
was deemed by Gen. Grant to be the key to
the city, and Ii was here, at the battle of
Missionary Ridge, that he sent Sherman
with the flower Of his soldiery to begin the
attack.
In fact, the commercial Importance of
East Chattanooga was so manifest that Gen.
George III. Thomas, who commanded corps
at Missionary Ridge, at the close Of the war
made efforts to have the city of Chattanooga
proper located at what is now known as East
Chattanooga, and would have succeeded but
for the interference of land spectators.
What Gen. Thomas desired to accomplish
is now naturally taking place under the
guidance of New England capitalists.
President Pevear Of the Thomson Houston
Electric Company of Boston, who was here
day or two ago. says of East Chattanooga:
III has greater advantages as a town site
than the city proper. There are three trunk
lines crossing it. two rivers affording navi-
CATION and drainage facilities, and there is
no bubble in it, as to so many towns that
are laid out, but of no value. There will be
a town at East Chattanooga; it has got to
come, and you can't stop it."

ROUND PoRcUPlNE ISLAND.
Tho Interesting Legal Struggle for a
Bit of Maine Coast.

ELLSWORTH, April 12.-In the Supreme
Judicial Court, before Chief Justice Peters,
the suit of Tobias Fl. Roberts and William
M. Roberts, of Bar Harbor, against Hon. j.
M. Mason and Hon. Fred E. Richards, which
has excited SO much interest in this county,
has been on trial the entire week. Deasey
& Higgins, of Bar Harbor, are counsel for
Roberts, and Hon. Nathan Cleaves and Hon.
A. P. Wiswell are counsel for Mr.. Mason
and Mr.. Richards.
The case involves the title to Round Por-
cupine Island situated about one-half mile
easterly from Mt. Desert, and containing
some forty acres. The island was once
claimed by Gen. Fremont and at various
times by others. The plaintiffs claim the
title under an old French grant, and by
virtue of a tax deed from the town of Eden
adverse occupation of the island for more
than thirty years. The defendants, Messrs.
Mason and Richards, claim chain of title
from Massachusetts and that the island was
not included in the old French grant.
The case has been hotly contested at every
point and has involved great deal of re-
search extending back to colonial days.
After the testimony was closed the chief
justice intimating that he should sustain the
position taking by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS that the acts proved were not in
law such an occupation as would give title
to the plaintiffs, the case was withdrawn
from the jury and reported to the Law Court.
The development of the fact that this island,
and other valuable islands situated in
Erenchman's Bay. were not in the town of
Eden, where they have been taxed for half a
century, but in the town of Gouldsboro has
created much surprise here and a great deal
OF discussion.

PINEvILLE, KY, April 12.-There is a dan

House. The great case at this term, and the
one which it is feared will end in wholesale
bloodshed, is that of Will Jennings, the
chief outlaw Of the county and the wicked
est man In the mountains. He is on trial
for his life, and the hearing of the evidence
began today.
Jennings's friends do not hesitate to say
openly that II he is convicted they will not
allow the troops to take him away, while If
he is cleared his enemies swear they will kill
him before he leaves the town. All the pris-
oners in the Jail under penitentiary sentence
are so well aware Of what is coming If Jen-
nings is convicted and the soldiers attempt
TO take MIN away that they have requested
that they be not taken at the same time.
Capt Gaithner, who is in charge of the
military, realizes the gravity of the situa-
tion. Ii Jennings Is convicted he will be
sentenced instantly by Judge Boyd. and.
for this point directly from the court house.
He will be specially guarded by three men
who will have orders to shoot him II rescue

men, before the march is half over.
Monday morning an arrow to which was
attached note was found just at the edge
of the town. The note warned Judge Boyd
that If his charge to the jury was against
Jennings he would never live to get home.

THE DEATH OF MRS. COOLEY.
Damaging Evidence Against Norton
In the Hearing at New Portland.

NORTH ANsoN, April 12-The examina-
tion of Micah W. Norton, charged with kill
ing his housekeeper, Mrs. Cooley, was con-
tinued today.
Melvin A. Burns testified to having heard
loud alteration between Norton and the
woman some time about year ago. Norton
called the woman hard name several times.
The woman denied that she was what he
called her. Norton repeated the accusation
and during the next few minutes among
what was said were the words uttered by the
woman: For Gods sake, don't stab me-"
Mrs. Mary A. Burns, wife of the preced-
ing witness, testified that when she was liy-
ing With her mother at Norton's, her moth
er gave birth to child of which Norton was
the father and that Norton strangled the
child and disposed of the body by burning
it.
Forest d. Cooley, brother of the last wit
ness, told substantially the same story:
volverS at Norton's when she was there
working for Mrs. Cooley. The witness did
not retire that night, but sat on lounge
with a.revolver in her hand. She made baby
Clothes three years ago for Mrs. Cooley.
| Witness identified the reYolvers she had
seen at Norton's and also the box Of childs
clothing produced by the state.
The defense asked for time in order to
allow witness who had been sent fer to
get here. The witness sent a letter instead
Of coming and the letter was objected to by
the states attorney. Finally the letter was
admitted. During severe and able ar
raignment by Attorney Gould, Norton ap-
peared calm and apparently unconcerned
A great effort was made by the defense to
have him admitted to bail, but he was COM
mitted.
SKowHEGAN. April Is. - Trial Justice
Priest, before whom Micah w. Norton was
arraigned at New Portland, returned today.
He found evidence sufficient to commit Nor
ton fer trial at the September term of the
Supreme Judicial Court for Somerset county,
but before the mittimus was issued. Norton's
counsel asked that he be admitted to bail
under the provisions of article one, section
ten of the State Constitution. Upon this,
Justice Priest reserves his decision and Nor
ton remains in Norridgewock Jail until the
decision is reached
