The Field of Honor.

Another duel has been added to the
long list. Again two men have gone
out upon the field of honor, - have
snapped caps, have escaped and are
the talk of the hour. Borro We and
Fox met and Borrowe sent a bullet
whizzing through the coat-tails of Fox,
who thereupon was metamorphosed,
in the opinion OF Borrowe, from a
scoundrel into a gentleman anc from
a shrinking coward into man of
honor.
The days of the duel are almost
numbered That ii ne will never come
when true courage OF man or beast will
not be applauded by man and beast
and the hour is far distant whe1 cow
ardice will be regarded a virtue and
an migrate will be allowed to take his
place in the company of gentlemen.
But such duels as that referred to
add nothing to the glory of the field OF
personal honor and will gild none OF
the pages of the volume OF human
courage.
Borrowe and Fox, both scoundrels,
though both in their own esteem gen.
tlemen, seek in the desperation Of
their desires to strenthen their hold
upon good people and carry their per
sonal affairs 10 the duelling field

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 27.-The
race for the Republican nomination
for Governor seems to have narrowed
down to John A. Mccall and George
w. Winstead, of Weakley county, and
as McCall IS Assistant District Attorney
for West Tennessee, Winstead will
probably be nominated. Col. A. NJ
Hughes, Jr., to-day declared that he
could not afford to take the nomlna,
ton, as it would necessitate his Civ
ing up his position in Washington,
aud that he has thrown his influence
to Winstead, who, he declares, is willing
to make the race for Governor. The

Wonderful Success.

The National Institute at Knoxville

cess in treating and curing men of
drunkenness. Although it has only
been about six weeks since it was
opened, quite number of gentlemen
who had abandoned all hope Of ever
becoming sober men, and whose rela.

have been made to rejoice at their
complete restoration to sobriety and
manhood. Patients are rapidly COM

of the big things OF the American

RAIL AND OROSsrIE.

The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the new
fast train between Savannah and Asheville,
the "Asheyille Limited" alludes in COM
plmentary way 70 one of the fastest trains
in the south. 1t makes the run from Savan-
nah 70 Columbia over the South Bound in
four hours and twenty minutes, and to
Asheville in eleven hours and twenty-five
minutes, stopping at all points in South
Carolina. This is remarkable time over a
new road, and speaks well for the construc-
ton Of the South Bound tracks. The road
bed between Asheville and Columbia is
almost without curves, which aids largely
in the great speed attained by trains be-
tween these points. Baltimore capital is
interested in the South Bound road,
and the Mercantile Trust and Deposit
Company is the financial agent. it is
destined to become part, it is said, Of con-

A, Enormous Crop and the Prevail
ing Low Prices.

49, enormous Crop and the Prevail
ing Low Prices.
Tho naval stores market Is rather unset
..d and prices, especially of spirits turpen-
.;.a vary between 81 and 2715 cents for
MARS. With one or two exceptional
.Isiods this is about as low as spirits has
ever been.
Tho cause Of course is the enormous re,
lots, On the present basis the price is
SaioW the cost of production. The reasons
ian for the heavy production is that labor
Sas beep plentiful in the turpentine regions.
While it is claimed that the percentage OF
naw boxes cut is no greater than that of
last year, yet manufacturers have utilized
+ba large surplus OF labor in working old
boxes, WHICH accouHS' AoA 'n0 4oi 10 Anci ease
10 yield.
Il is said that the low price has caused
many operators to again abandon the old
noxes. as it does not pay to work them.
The enormous receipts will be readily I'M
darstood when the figures are analysed. The
totel receipts up to date for this season are
- 5S3 casks of spirits turpentine, against
~ 432 casks last year, while for
rosin the receipts were 166, 79l barrels against
lar $50 barrels last season.
The receipts during the month of May
ware 40 $50 casks of turpentlne compared
with 30, 955 casks for the same month last
season.
In rosln the May receipts are 81, $50 round
barrels while for last season they were
AZ 6g4 barrels. Last year receipts were con-
adhered very large, but a comparison with
this year shows what rapid strides the
business has made. OF course, ia the natural
law Of things it was to be expected that
yearly an increase In packages would occur
and would still be the rule for years, but the
heavy increase at once was not expected.
Considerable spirits turpentine was sold in
the last two months around 81 and 3115 cents
and IL will be seen how badly off the pur-
chasers are at the present figures. There is
one thing, however, that aids the market
greatly Just now, ana that Is that consum-
ers are fully alive to the cheapness of tur>
pentine and steadily investing in it for
future use, 80 that factors are not over
burdened with big stocks. There is little
accumulation as it is moving out very
