"OUR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
MUST BE PROTECTEDW
So Say The Rank and File of Davidson
County's Country People, and
Their Vengeance
Was Sure.
BODY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS

A deplorable state of affairs pre-
walls at Nashville. Briefly stated, a
mob from Goodlettsville attacked
the county Jail last night and worked
hard until about 2 o'clock trying to
gain an entrance, for the purpose OF
hanging the negro, Eph. Grizzard,
who is said to be the other guilty
party in the GoOdlettsville outrage.
Hammers and croW-bars were Sc
cured and with them the front doors of
the Jail were beaten down. A squad
of officers in the the Jail corridor, how
ever, held the mob at bay by the use
of clubs. This treatment enraged
the asSailants and a shot was fired
from without. This was returned by
the officers at the door and was fol-
lowed by several shots from the
mob. None of the officers was hurt,
though several had bullet holes in
their coats. One of the assailing
party was shot in the side. His
name is n. l.. Guthrie and his
home is in Nashville. Governor
Buchanan appeared at the Jail and
tried to quiet the mob, but to no
avail. When they found, however,
that their plans had been thwarted
by the police they decided to aban-
don their purpose for the time being.

"catching on" with a vim to the fact
that the LEAF.CHRONICLE is furnish
ing first-class news service. The

taking rank with the most important
journals of the State. The LEAF

twelve hours ahead of the Nash
vile dailies. The most important
local happenings, as well as State and
National news, are accurately

published in Clarksvllle has
supplied this demand. Other

the circumstances may warrant. A
more powerful or valuable factor to q
city's growth does not exist than a
thoroughly wide-awake and largely
circulated newspaper. That is what
the AF-CHRONICLE is.

"DISoBEYING ORDERS"

The Atlanta journal of the 18th had
an editorial on the negro question, of
which the following is a part:
The recent election in Florida and
in this State demonstrated the fact
that the colored vo In the South can
no longer be depended on to obey the
will of the Republican managers
Thousands of negroes in Georgia voted
the Democratic ticket in the face of
positive orders from the Republicans
for them to vote the Third party ticket,
and in Alabama a large section of the
Republican party, composed of the
black voters principally, has refused to
obey the ukase from Washington to
fuse with the Peoples party"
This is more Democratic proof that
the negroes have joined that party in
many places. They will dot in North
Carolina, unless all signs fail. Now
that the negro is out of the way
divided up about equally between the
three leading parties-everybody can
safely vote for principle this year and
hereafter. This is the best thing that
has happened since 1776, when our
people declared themselves free from
British tyranny, Let it go on.

TEWAR

The papers from the West bring
glorious news about the growth of the
Peoples party in the Northwest. There
is practically but one party there now
-thatis the party of reform. The Al
lance Independent has the follwing
about Senator Stewart and the brave
fight he is making IN principle:
Senator Stewart, Republican, of
Nevada, has been one Of the bravest
and ablest advocates OF the free coin
age of silver. Now he proves himself
to be one of the men who will stand by
principle rather than party when he
is forced to choose. He is making
speeches for Weaver. In a speech
last week he said: Harrison was an
enemy to silver coinage and would,
without question, veto THE measure
whenever Congress passed it. This
being his convictlon-regarding free
coinage as the measure above all
others his State and country need to
restore their waning prosperity-he
would be false to principle, false to bis
country and false to his people f he
did not urge the Republicans of Ne
vada to repudiate Harrison and vote
for General Weaver.

S THEIR MARK.

The Virginia San gives a glowing
account of Gen. Viewers speaking in
Richmond. 1t says many converts
were made. With a few exceptions
the behaviour was good. The Sun
tells the following about the egging:
"There was only one little contre-
temps, and that was sufficiently anus
ing. A couple of eggs were thrown
into the hall through an open window,
and did the following executions: One
grazed the head of a young man who
went there Uncommitted, and who now
says that hens forth and forever he
will cast his vote against a party
whose strength is maintained by such
dirty means. This egg expended it's
force in the shirt-front of an unfortun-
ate policeman who was doing his duty
like a man. The other egg struck a
distinguished Judge on the head, and
ricochetted among the reporters, gen
erously di stributing it's white and vel
low among their papers and in their
clothing, which made them calculate,
thank heaven, it's fresh This ovari-
Gus fussilade missed the Peoples party
altogether, but singled out the old par
ties with unerring precision"

ZEE sHERIFF wITHpRAws.

According to some of our exchanges,
Mr.. A. B. Peeler, Peoples party can
didafe for Sheriff in Cleveland county,
has withdrawn from the race. He
gives as a reason:
II have evidence of the unholy trade
that has been made by Butler and Exum
to sell the State to the Republicans for
$685. 900. 1 have the best reason to be-
lieve that a corrupt bargain exists be-
tween the leaders of the Peoples party
and the Republicans whereby the rank
and file of the Peoples party is be-
trayed into f~urthering the plans of the
Republican party. My heart revolts
against such treachery and corruption,
and l will not allow myself to be made
a party to any such movement"
He hen declares his intention to
vote the Democratic ticket, from
Grover down.
Now many of our readers are inter
ested in this matter. Mr.. Peeler makes
s%ervious charges against Messrs. Exum
and Butler. If they have done what
Mr.. Peeler says he "has evidence of"
the public ought to know it. He has
made the charge, and justice to all de-
mands that he give the facts. If his
charges are true, the Peoples party
leaders r not to be trusted, If they
are not true, if he cannot prove beyond
a doubt that they have received $50, 900
and "sold the State to the Republi-
cans" then he stands convicted by his
own testimoney. Mr.. Peeler must
prove this or stand disgraced before
the bar of public opinion. Now is his
chance. If he is successful he will he
the biggest man in Cleveland county.
Let everybody hold their breath until
Peeler is heard from. THE PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER is always ready to expose
fraud, and offers it's columns to Mr..
Peeler to publish his alleged evidence.
If anybody has sold North Carolina to
any political party for $50, 900 or any
other sum, we want to publish the
facts.
