ALICE ON THE STAND.

Special to the Banner,
MEMPHIS. July 27.-The most remar-
kable scene ever witnessed in courtroom
was seen this morning when, after stren-
uous objection by the defense, Alice Mitch
ell was put on the witness stand She
answered every question coolly, rational
ly, and then proceeded TO tell of the muir
der. Every detail she remembered per-
fectly. She told how she followed Freda
and cut her throat. She did NOT mean Ia
cut her mere than once. but when Ju
Ward hit her with an umbrella and said !,
"YouIdirty dog" it made her mad and she
cut Freda again. She did not mean to
cut her up IN that way. Just one cut
enough to kill her was all she meant to
give her. She meant to cut her own throat,
but when 10 made her mad she forgot all
about il.
"Why did you want to cut her." was
asked.
"Because / knew could not have her"
was the r. ply as she burst into tears.
She told of how she secreted her papa's
razor two months before intending to kill
her the first time she met her. All this
she told without trace of remorse Oh
show of emotion. Only whenever lei
love for Fred was spoken of she wept
She said she loved her better than any
one on earth, and still thought and
dreamed of her.
Her aged father and brothers were
greatly moved at this STANCE recital, and
the audience were horror.stricken. Hel
statements did more to convince the Jury
of her insanity than all the expert evil
dence yet introduced.

OUR CONGRESSMAN.

Col. Patterson expected to be in
HaIdeman and gave notice of ap-
poIntment to speak in Bolivar on
August End. but cancelled it before
publication in the BULLETIN, be-
cause the adjournment of congress
was postponed, and he did not wish
to leave his post at Washington to
look after his own affairs. He will
however come to Harde man as
soon as congress adjourns, and we
think soon we can give notice of
his coming. and we hope he will
take several days in our county
and meet his friends and constitu-
ents. Col. Patterson has made
much reputation at Washington at
the very outset of his career. He
is q strong msn and can serve his
people well and will do 90. His
district will not be disappointed in
him and ought to stand by him.

One week has passed since we hav,
had rain, and now the farmers are busy
finishing their crops, much to tn cir salts

well, notwithsta nding the abundance o.
rain recently. With proper seasons, and
politics remaining as now-demOcratiC
the County will be in a prosperous
condition another year. McKinleyism
and Force Bill symptoms, agitating the
nerves of this great South, have aroused
our people to a sense of their duty. AL
liancemen in this p lrt of the County say
they will advocate their demands, bat
will stay in the democratic party until
republican rule is abolished.
Quite a number of our people attended

County Alliance.

The Alliance of Hardeman County met at Eb
enezer yesterday. About 500 people were pres
emit, though of course all were not members o
the order. The day was principally devoted te
speaking. Col. Hugh d. Greer, lecturer for the
Tenth Congressional District, C. NJ. Lambeth,
J. A. Manson, A. j. Coates and j. w. Jones
spoke. The three latter speeches were demo-
cratic Lambeth spoke in the interest of the
Third Party, and from what we can learn, Col.
Greer's speech has never been exactly classed-
it was kind of neutrality-suspicious. liance-
third-party mixture. The democratic speakers
were treated very discourteOuslY by the range-
ment committee, Lambeth and Greer being al
lowed to monopolize almost the entire day,
In addition to this, there were frequent, unnec-
essary and impolite Interruption
The Third Party Executive Committee also
met at Ebenezer yesterday. They will nominate
candidate for the legislature and send delegates
to the different conventions.

paid to the disrespectful treatment
at first, but finally a brick struck
Mr.. Baptist in the small of the back
and almost knocked him from the
stand. He was 90 badly hurt that
he had to discontinue his speech,
and was carried to his buggy by
friends. The affair is deplored by

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

On the 4th OF August our coun-
ty elections are held. and the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee selec-
ted that day for primaries, believing
that a full vote would be polled,
and not desiring to have our voters
called out oftner than necessary.
When calls are too frequent they
become annoying, and are not well
attended, and light votes cause dis
satisfaction. Our fullest vote comes
out ut election for county officers, 80
il seemed to the Democratic Exec
utive Committee that there was no
better time to secure an expression
from the democratic voters of the
County on the question of the
nomination of a candidate'for Rep
resentative in the legislature and the
expression of party choice for the
candidates for Congress, Senator
and Floater. In these primaries
only democrats can vote, and it il
the duty of the parties holding the
election to see to this. All parties
voting In the democratic primaries
must be democrats all along the line
and must be supporters of the party
platforms and party nominees,
national, state and county. The
Judges will see to this, and all
democratic voters have the right to
challenge votes and test the COM
potency of any one who offers tC
vote by Inquiring whether he comes
within the rule-in other words by
knowing that he is n democrat.

pen and ink how really jOyously
the hours of the evening We're spent
by all, from the gayest youth to
the gray haired. Music both in
strumental and vocal could be had
by request, and while some were
listening to the sweet tones of the
organ, guitar and harp, others of a
more rural nature were pr0menad-
ing to and fro through the beau-
tiful walks in the front yard, which
were illumined by swinging lights
of variegated hues. At IL o'clock,
all were invited to the dining room
where ice cream and cake were
served. A pool of iced lemonade
was also artistically arranged in
the midst of some beautiful flowers
and grass in the front yard.
Among the visitors from a dis
lance was Miss Annie Crockett, q
bright and beautiful blonde of six
teen summers. Miss Crockett is
from Nash vile and is visiting her
sister, Mrs. j. w. Bass. | am quite
certain that many of the young
men will join me in the wish that

crowd for a while with some spien-

Miss Annie EIbank with guitar,
which was highly complimented.

IF the next legislature will sban-
don the custom of appointing large
committees to examine the instItu-
tIons of the state, and will employ
one or more experienced Ook-keep-
ers 10 investigate the Affairs of these
institutions, the interests of the
public will be better served. The
present system of investigation by
committees amounts to nothing, js
a farce and q fraud, and the sooner
given up the better. One or two
experienced men, who understand
their duties and are allowed suffi-
cent time to perform them, can
serve the people cheaper and with
more satisfaction.

contrast with previous ceremonies.
Usually, on such occasions, only q
favored few are permitted to wit

exercises mark q new era IN the
method of notifying presidential
nominees. Hereafter on like occa-

FRANKLIN.

Franklin, the county seat of William
con County, Tennessee, is situated In the
very heart of the central Tennessee pla-
team, region noted for the beauty and
variety of it, scenery, its wealth of soil its
Astounding mineral springs, its salubrious
climate, and as a consequence, of these, its
healthfulness. In country thus richly
endowed by nature, we would expect 70
find a people cultured, refined, noble,
and hospitable; and such are the people
of Franklin. They are of the genuine
Southern type, and spare no pains to
make the college residents feel at home
among them. A higher, purer caste OF So
cial life can be found no where in our
land.
Franklin is eighteen miles south of
Nashville, the chief city of Tennessee.
Many trans pass to and fro daily thus,
giving all the advantages of the city
without surrendering the quietness and
healthfulness of rural life.
CAMPUS.
The college building is in the centre of
q beautifully shaded Campus, elegantly
laid of with winding, graveled walks,
thus affording the pupils in the College
home most delightful place for recrea-
ton. The campus is midway between
the railroad depot and the business centre
of the city, being only three. blocks from
each. Handsome private residences sur
round the grounds, adding much to the
attractive features Of the Campus.
CHURCHES.
MethodiSts, Presbyterian %. 81 Cum
berlsnd Presby terians, Baptists, Chris
tians, Episcoralians, all have fine church
edifces, and talented ministers. The very
best of religious influences are around the
College.
