FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
POLITICS IN STE WART.
The County Said to be Divided on the
Gubernatorial Question.

Maj. H. H. Tharpe has returned
from a stay of several days at his
farm in Stewart county, near Dover,
and he reports the county divided on
the gubernatorial question. Some
districts are almost solid for Buch-
anan, while others are just as strong
for Judge Turney. The fight prom
ises to be close, and perhaps better.
Buchanan's men are at work in the
county with sleeves rolled up, and
say they will instruct the delegation
for their man at all hazards. The
Turney men are equally as deter
mined and the convention to select
delegates promises to be very hot
one. Fears are entertained that it
will result in split. Is the interest
of Democracy to be conserved by
this state of things? Let conserva-
tive, clear-headed Democrats reason
together and act in union against the
common enemy-and the factor of
that iniquitous measure, the force
bill-Republicanism.

FEARS AT REST.
The Farmers Do Not Think The
Cumberland Will Hurt Them.
Some Early Planted Corn, However, in
the Bottoms Now Under Water
and Being Well Soaked.

The farmers along the Cumberland
have been very uneasy about the
river for the past few days, but SC
far as the LEAF-CHRONICLE ascertain
their fears have about subsidized.
Several farmers about Edmondson's
ferry have planted their corn and
some of it, in the lowest places, is
under water. They think that this
will be replanted.
A LEAF-CHRoNICLE reporter
made it point this morning to in
terView the farmers living along the
river, many of whom are in the city.
They all agree that an overflow at
the present time would work incal-
culable damage to them. Their
meadows are in excellent condition,
much above the average for this
time of year, aud an overflow would
hurt them. In addition, should all
bottom lands become covered with
water it would throw them
back considerably with their plant
ing. The ground would bake
after the water receded, and it would
be next to impossible TO get the same
in good order before the heat of sum-
mer. But they all seem to think that
the river will not go much higher.
1t rose only about six inches last
night, and is rising but slowly to.
day. They are of the opinion that
the rise reported at Burnsides last
evening will not cause the rise here
that river men anticipate at Nash
vile, 1t is to be hoped that they are
correct in their opinion, for Mont.
gomery county don't want an over
flow now.

River N ews.

The following is taken from the
Bnner Of last evenings:
"The late rains have caused the
river to rise rapidly, and it is feared
will result In much loss of property.
Sat 6 a. m. the gauge read 1927
feet, and was rising at the rate OF
five-tenth inch per hour. Reports
from Burnside state that the river
has risen 1871 feet within the twenty
four hours ending at 8 a. m. to-day.
Rain fell there last night to depth
of 1.3O inches. This will cause an adj
ditional rise Of several feet.
"Carthage reports rise Of 9,3 feet
for the same period, and an inch OF
rain last night.
"Signal service officers here state
that the river will continue to rise for
two or three days, and will reach the
danger line, 40 feet, before it begins
to recede. All having lumber or other
property along the banks OF the
stream are warned to be on the alert"

A LAWLESS CASE.
A Lunatic Running at Large and
No Law to Fit His Case.
His Presence in Judge Tyler's Office
Comes Near Getting Two Brass
Buttoned Officials In Trouble.

A wandering, crazy negro has
struck the town, who is aimlessly
rambling about, harmless, but a gen.
eral nuisance, and there is no law
that fits his case or will justify the
officers in dealing with him. He is
the same boy referred to by the
EAF-CHRoNICLE the other day
who, while waiting for a lunch
which he was begging at a residence,
proceeded to fill his pockets with sill
yer spoons and other articles. He
was arrested by the city officers and
carried before Squire Caldwell, who
committed him tc Jail. Judge Tyler
investigated the case, and finding no
law for sending him to the insane
asylum, and none for keeping him
confined in Jail, as nothing vicious
had developed in his behavior, Or
dered his release. The police nabbed
him again yesterday and carried him
before Squire Smith, instead of the
city tribunal, presided over by his
Honor, Judge Bailey. Squire Smith
promptly decided that he had no
jurisdiction in the case, and the Of
ficers lead the lunatic to the door and
turned him loose in the courthouse
hall, telling him to go. The negro
wandered into Judge Tyler's Office,
took off his shoes and sat down by
the fire, making himself contented
and happy.
Judge Tyler, who was absent soon
returned, and finding his Office occu-
pied by this feeble minded son of
Ham, who felt privileged to run the
county for his own benefit, called for
the sheriff to take him out. The
sheriff did as he was ordered, leading
the self-constituted judge down to the
street, where he found a squad of
brass buttoned gentleman, and re-
leasing the prisoner, he told him to
look after "them fellows"
The judge making an inquiry as
to how the imbecile came to be in
his Office, was informed that he was
carried there and left by the police.
This aroused the judges ire and he
was about to issue warrant for the
arrest OF two city officers, when Alex
McKennon, the janitor, turned up
as counsel, with special plea for the
"cops," and explained how the un-
fortunate lad got into the judges
Office, and relieved the police of all
blame and smoothing down the
ruflled temper of his honor.
This is really bad case. The boy
is an annoyance and great nuisance,
and no court in the city can find any
law for Kidding the community of his
presence. The lad is stranger here.
There are, however, two ways to get
rid Of him, and we would advise the
city judge to put his head by the side
of the county Judge, and agree on
one plan or the other.

Successful Skin Grating.

A special from Hopkin3ville to the
American says:
ga remarkable cure of skin graft
ing with successful results is reported
by the medical fraternity of this city.
The little 6-year-old daughter of
William II. Lee, a member of the
firm of the Blumensteil Carriage
Company, was seriously burnt on one
of her hips, which failed to heal, but
continued to give her great pain.
About two weeks ago DR.. Blakey
proposed to attempt her cure by the
skin grating process, Mr.. Lee con-
senting to let the Doctor remove from
his left arm about twenty pieces of
skin, which were .grafted on to his
little daughters burnt limb. Enough
of these. adhered ito accomplish the
desired cure, and the burnt wound is
now cured. Since submitting to the
painful process Of having the skin
extracted from his arm, Mr.. Lee has
not lost days labor from his work,
and his arm is. now well, though
badly Scared"

PEARS ALL KILLED.
What S. B. Seat Has Suffered by the
Cold Snap.

1t now transpires that s. B. Seat
has lost about $4,000 worth of pears
by the cold weather. MIR. Garnett,
the manager of the orchard, thought
at first that they were safe, but since
the heavy rains all the fruit has
fallen off. Mr.. Seat has j 200 Le-
compte pears in his orchard, and five
bushels to the tree is a low average.
This would make a total of 6,000
bushels, and when ripe would have
sold on the market for $1,000. Mr..
Garnett says that the peaches, rasp-
berries and strawberries are all right,
and that they will have a big crop OF
them. Reverting to pears, he says
that they had eight trees near the
house, seven of which were of the
Lecompte variety, and one Keifer.
The Lecompte pears are all killed;
the Keifer tree must have ten bushels
on it, and this is all they have.
