THE ASSASSIN IN POLITICS.

The Democracy of the Eighth
Congressional District will regret
to learn OK the attempted assassina-
ton of Congressman ENLoE while
speaking at Sardis, in Henderson
County, last week. 1t matters not
what influence was behind the act,
the motive can not be misconstrued,
and is to be condemned ON grounds
of abstract right and justice. Mr..
ENLoE has been engaged in making
speeches to his constituents, expos
ing the sub-treasury fallacy of the
third party and Republican corrup-
ton in the affairs of Government,
and while he has demonstrated that
he can treat an opponent with true
courtesy and perfect fairness, he
never falls to worry HIM with the
logic of his argument in an effect
i've and positive way, but there is
no warrant for declaring purpose
to drive him out of the country OF
to attempt to assassinate him simp,
ly because they can not refute his
arguments in support of the party
of opposition to Republicanism

TO BOOM THE TOWN.

4 newspaper can not boom a
town without some assistance from
those who make up the town. If
Camden is ever to grow faster than
she is now doing the men of prop
erty and capital must set the ball to
rolling, and the first move should
be the building Of about q score OF
more of neat cottages for sale and
for rent. It is seldom that a man
will buy property and build when
he first goes to q town. He wants
to look around and mature his plans
before permanently locating. In
the meanwhile he must rent SIX
months or a year, and perhaps sew
eral years, where rent is reasonable
and the houses comfortable and at.
tractive. How many houses are
there in Camden now for rent tina
offer any inducement to live in a
any season of the year. The only
drawback to Camden's prosperity il
the lack of good, tenantable houses

THE SPEAKERSHLP.

As the time for the assembling of
the first session of the Fifty-second
Congress draws near the discussion
and interest in the contest for the
Speakership increases. 1t seems
to be understood that Congressman
MILLS will have the support of the
West and Southwest, and q strong
following in the South and North
west. Each Of the other candi-
dates will have friends in all sec
tons of the country, and in the
contest before the Democratic eau
Gus among the candidates for the
Speakership there will be an entire
absence of any sectional feeling
And it matters not whetherthe next
Speaker shall be MILLS, or CRISP
or McM1LL1N, or SPRINGER, OF BY.
NUN, his policy will be thoroughly
national and patriotic. The cOun,
try will profit by the demonstration
and by the contrast with the arbi
trary rulings of Dictator REED il

INSTEAD Of paying any attention

Northwest, the best way for our

A HElNOUS CRIME.
A Young Girl Dragged from Home
and Outraged.
OTHER NEws ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

MesSIs' ~. 4. WesSOn, Joe LlC-
tie and Sylvester Miller, of Bre-
wards Landing, Tennessee River,
arrived in Camden at about 10
o'clock last Thursday night with
Perry Barber, a prisoner, charg-
ed with the heinous crime of out
raging the person of a Miss GAIA
way, who in company with her
father recently moved to the south
ern part of this county from Ken
lucky. The story of the crime was
related to us as follows: Monday
night, the 9Th instant, Perry Barber,
David Grafton, Horse Walker, Sam
Beasley, Alec Heath and Miles
Duncan, all workers at logging
camp in Humphreys County, came
over into Benton County and went
to old man Getaways house and
demanded admittance, which was
refused. The men then knocked
the door down and beat the old man
into insensibility and then forcibly
dragged Miss Gazaway out into the
bushes where two of them succeed
ed in outraging her. Before leav-
ing they threatened to kill both the
girl and her father if they ever told
it. The next day, however, they
told a neighbor and he had the en-
tire crowd arrested, but all but two,
Barber and Heath, escaped from
the officers. At the preliminary
hearing Heath was released, and
Barber was ordered to Jail to await
the next term Of court Old man
Gazaway, who is about fifty years
Of age, was more scared than hurt.
The girl is about eighteen, and was
thought to be of rather loose NOR
ais.
Public Speaking Next Wednes-
day promises to be great day for
Camden. President Mcdowell of
the Alliance will address the peo-
pie Of Benton County on the de-
mands of the Alliance and Hon. III.
FL. Buquo, of Erin, will also be here
on that day to make a talk for the
Democracy. A division of time
has been asked for Mr. Buquo, but
we are not informed as to whether
it will be granted or not. He is a
fluent talker and will interest his
hearers. He and Mcdowell have
met heretofore in public debate,
and if a division Of time is granted
a lively debate may be expected.
Married. Mr.. W. E. McRae, the
popular assistant cashier of the
Camden Bank and Trust Company,
took a large number of his Camden
friends by surprise Wednesday by
o getting married. His bride being
n Miss Mamie Ezzell, an accomplish

The Canadian Minister of Justice Criti-
cises Blaine's Logic.
OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 7.-Considerab BILE
interest is manifested here in the lat
est phase of the Bering sea discussion,
caused by the publication of blane's
reply to Lord Salisbury. Blaine seems
to have lit upon one or two new points,
and with view to ascertaining their
relative strength. Sir John Thompson,
minister of justice, was asked for his
opinion upon them. Sir John said that
in the case of the Ceylon pearl fisheries,
jurisdiction was exercised by England
simply to prohibit the injurious opera
ton OF those fisheries by British SUBJ
iects, and there had be en- no attempt to
exclude foreig lers from the pearl fisher
les or to restrain their operations.
"What do you think of Blaine's con-
tention in regard to st. Helena?'
"That," answered Sir John, "seems
to be new point raised, and takes us
back to 1916. Napoleon was then con-
fined at St. Helena, and Great Britain's
action in exclu ding vessels from waters
within eight leagues OF st. Helena, was
a measure of war, taken in concert with
the great allied powers who alone would
be interested in resisting the cesson of
dominion and at that time the asser-
ton of sovereignty by every maritime
power, in the seas surrounding her pos
sessions, was vastly more necessary than
now. 1t will be for Blaine to enforce
this contention in the face of that OF
