THAT SUPPLEMENT.

The supplement which we prom
ised our readers some weeks ago,
after long and inexcusable delay has
come to hand at last, but instead Of
the neat, clean supplement for which
we placed our order, it turns out to be
a measly advertising sheet. While it
contains some good matter, it also
contains some very Objectionable adj
vertising which we do not care to
send out to our readers, and we have
decided to consign the whole thing to
the waste basket. 1t has been a very
provoking disappointment to us, as
we failed to give our readers any of
the Governors messages, expecting
to get them in full in this supple
ment. The brilliant journalistic
genius who engineered the production
in question should try the avocation
of driving an OK team. His capacity
is better fitted to that pursuit than to
modern newspaper life.

Plenty of Capital Backs the Chatta-
nooga & Evansville Road.

Carthage Record.
The Chattanooga Republican says
that a prominent railroad official
who is interested in the proposed
Chattanooga & Evansville Railroad,
states that the road is now assured.
The proposed line is from Chicago to
the seaboard by way of Evansville,
Bowling Green, Carthage, Chatta-
nOoga and Augusta.
A corps of engineers will soon de-
termine whether Dunlap will be
reached through gorge of the Cum
berland mountains, or by entering at
the head of the Sequatchie valley.
The road, it was stated, will cross the
Tennessee river at Chattanooga, and
the Cumberland river near Carthage.
Bowling Green has voted $250,000 to
the road. The gentleman referred to
said that Pittsburg, New York and
Philadelphia capitalists were back of
the enterprise, as well as the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois Railroad.

The American is prepared to state,
for the benefit of those people who
think that a silver dollar is only
worth "a cents, that syndicate has
been formed and is now ready to pay
80 cents in gold for every silver dol
lar coined in the United States Of
America. Here is a chance for per-
sons overloaded with "a cent. dollars
to make fortunes; yet, such is the
perversity of human nature, we have
not the least doubt that the syndicate
will have to dissolve for the lack Of
business.-Nashville American.
Should the Americans pet scheme
of free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer become law, its syndicate would
have to dissolve for lack of gold to do
business with in less than twenty.four
hours after the bill was signed by the
President. However, if the Ameri-
cans syndicate has surplus of gold
and is anxious for business, there is
an opportunity for very neat little
profit right in Nashville now. If the
cashier of the Americans syndicate
will take the trouble to inquire of
Nashville wholesale men, he will
find that New York importers are
offering them as much as 2 per cent.
discount from their bills for remit
tances in gold. He will also find that
no more gold can be had from the
Nashville banks at par for this pur-
pose. Now if the mere agitation of
free silver coinage, with the very
slim prospect it has heretofore had
for passage, puts premium of two
per cent. on gold, how much prem
ium would the full enactment of the
measure place on that money? We
pause for a reply from the quill driver
of the Americans syndicate.

Being a graduate of a Medical Col
lege,I am of course prejudiced against
all secret proprietary medicines, but
/ am compelled to say, after being
cured of a violent case of Inflammato-
ry rheumatism, that S. S. S. is the
remedy for that disease. l took S.
S. S. after everything else had failed.
1 had all sorts of treatment with the
best physicians. Had the Turkish
bath treatment; went to Hot Springs,
Ark; Jacksonville, Fla; Colorado
Springs, and to California; but no re.
lief. Then I started home, tired and
worn, disguised with medicine, a
friend persuaded me to try S. S. S.
and l did it more to crafty him than
from any hope of cure, and the first
bottle put me far on the road to per-
manent cure. l continued it until l
am sound and well.

A great many people are finding
out that they did not know what free
coinage means.-Nashville Herald.
And it is a fortunate thing for the
Democratic party and for the coun-
try that they are finding out what it
means in time to prevent the calam-
ity. 1t means a violent contraction
of available money by the withdraw
al of six hundred millions of dollars
of gold from circulation. 1t means
undemocratic dollars for a circulating
medium not worth their face value.
1t means that while the laborer will
receive no increase in wages, the
money he would be paid in would
he deprecated in purchasing power
from ten to fifteen per cent. Free
coinage means the taking of the diff
ference between the value ola good,
honest dollar and a spurious dollar
from the poor and rolling it into the
pockets of the rich. Free coinage
means lots of things it will be well
for the people of this country not to
have to learn by experience.

Little Hope That the Texas Lines VIII be

The reduced rates declared by the Chi

effect April q from Chicago to the Missouri
river. 1t is not known here whether Chair
man FaithOru has fulfilled his threat to re-
taliaIe upon the Alton by Withdrawing all
divisions on Texas and other Southern
lines, but as Mr. Faithorn Is a man who
does not often fail TO make good his word,
il is safe 10 assume the divisions are with
drawn. The Alton cut IS g cents below
tariff on tirst-c.ass than the tariff from
Milwaukee. although the rates from Chi
cago and Milwaukee have heretofore been
the same. The Texas lines will insist upon
the local tariff on business received from
the Alton instead of the per centage OF the
through rate as heretofore, and If these
Texas lines will maintain their nerve and
stand by their tariffs there Is no
reason to apprehend any trouble. But
while this disturbing element, caused by
the action Of the Alton. continues to exist,
there will also exist u question of uncer-
tainty, and me maintenance OF rates on
precariouS foundation. If one of the roads
becomes restless, caused by falling oil OF
traffic, even though L may be only tenn
porary, q cut may be announced, which will
be followed by q general Generalization OF
rates.

that the Atoms notice is insufficient and
he cannot therefore legally make the pro
posed rates, so there is no necessity of
meeting them. As the tariffs are out and
are to take effect April 81, this decision OF
the chairman does not afford much conSoIa-
ton 10 the interested lines.
II is very probable however, that in or
der to avert the possible rate war the West
ern freight association will restore the Mil
waukee rate and allow the Alton the differ
ential it demands. A rate war is not
wanted by the roads, nor desired by the
people For this reason every reasonable
effort will be put forth to prevent its occur

The Steps Being Taken to Build q Line
from uearne.


from Hearne.
Correspondence of the Gazette
HEARNE, Ten, April lI-An enthusiast
tic meeting of the citizens of Hearne and
vicinity was held in the opera house at II
o'clocl: to-day. On motion H. h. Davis was
unanimously elected chairman, and w. W.
Wilson secretary of the meeting. Mr..
Davis stated that the object of the meeting
was to arrive II q definite conclusion as to
whether or not railroad, tram way, or a
dummy line should be built from Hearne
down through the Brazos bottom Is had
been projected since last year. But up TO
this time, no conclusion has been arrived
II. and no definite action taken. City
Attorney J. +. Bishop was called on and in
a short speech set forth his ideas. advo-
eating road that would be to the interest
OF Hearne and the farmers of the Brazos
bottom. stating that road which would
nccessitate the use of large engines, heavy
rolling stock and heavy rails was unneces-
sary, rs Q road of much smaller pretenSions
would answer all purposes.
County Judge .. d. Cannon followed,
setting forth in his speech the magnificeuce
and richness of the BraZoS bottom, showing
the natural advantages TO Hearne of road
of any kind, and urging upon the people the
necessity of road, and pleading with them
not 10 let the opportunity of building the
road pass That the farmers Of the Brazos
bottom interests were identified with the
interests of Hearne, and that an imperative
duty rested upon the people Of Hearne to
cooperate with the farmers Of the bottom
in building 4 road. Speeches were made
by many others present, ali agreeing that
the road would be a mutual benefit to the
bottom farmers and to Hearne.
At this point the Hon II. L. Lewis was
called on and he sounded the death knell of
any kind of road except a standard gauge,
giving as grounds for his position the fact
that in his opinion the right-of-way would
not be given through the farms in the bot
tom for a narrow gauge road. That, for
himself, he would say he would not grant
right-of-way through his plantations in the
bottoms. That, for i nominal cost above a
narrow gauge, Q standard gauge could be
built. and that is what the farmers want
Col. K. J. White was called on and said
that he thought the Hon. r. L. Lewis had
spoken correctly; that, for himself, he
would not give the right of way through
his plantation for d narrow gauge. On
motion OF 7. n Graham standard gauge
road was adopted Col. White then made
proposition representing the farmers of
the bottoms, which was accepted by the citi-
