Nashville, Tenn, July 25.-.(Speci2L)-J.
II. Wynn murdered his wife and srep--
daughter last night, and then ATTEMPTED
suicide. Today he was lynched, The
scene Of the crime was at Byrns, Dickson
county. The murdered woman was tho
widow Of John Anderson, and married
Wynn three years ago. She was left con
siderable property, and persistentiy de
clined to let Wynn manage it, This led to
many quarrels and ultimately to the murder.
Mrs Wynn and her hftecn-year-old daugh-
ter had retired, when Wynn crept into the
room with an AK. lie struck his wife
first the blow opening her face and sever
ing her jawbone. The injured woman sat
up in bed only to receive another blow on
the top of her head. The blade split her
head wide open, severed her ear and sank
to her collar bone, causing instant death.
Wynn then attacked the daughter, who
threw up her hands, and thereby lost three
fingers. The blow split her skull. a
second blow cut Il horrible cash IN her
neck, and she sank to the floor. The girl
died this morning.
Wynn then fled to his sons, two miles
away, where, after relating his crime, he
attempted suicide by cutting his throat, but
was prevented. He was arrested today
and lynched by mob while on the way to

Announce that they have some of the cele-
brated o. F. C. Whisky which has become
so popular in the New York clubs and is be-
ing used so extensively by those who insist
upon having the purest and best. The flavor
of this celebrated Whisky is something un-
usual, and it is admittedly the choicest
article upon the market. Speaking concern
ing it prominent man recently said:
at requires a refined taste to appreciate a
fine Whisky. o. z. c. has become popular
because it is SO fine, and its popularity shows
that the public taste is becoming more re-
fined. do not see why people will use an
inferior article when they can secure the
best at practically the same figure. I use
only o. F. c."
II you have never tasted this celebrated
Whisky you should certainly try it.

A Free Trade Party.

The paramount issue before the Ameri-
can people to-day is that of the tariff.
No amount of Democratic misrepresenta-
ton or evasion can change it. The Dem
ocratic platform states distinctly that
any tariff except one for revenue only is
unconstitutional.
The Democracy is essentially free
trade party. The Neal amendment was
carried Sy large majority and expressed
the sentiment of the party. The leaders
of the party are free traders and every
prominent free trader and free trade
paper at home and abroad Is out for
Grover Cleveland.
The traditions of the Democratic party
are free trade traditions. In l944 the
Democrats promised a moderate tariff
law they kept their pledge by passing
in 1876 most radical tariff bill. In
1s43 the party congratulated the country
on the noble impulse given to free trade
by the repeal of the tariff of 1872. In
1856 it again distinctly placed itself on
record in favor of free trade by affirming
that "the time has come for the people
of the United States to declare themselves
in favor of free seas and progressive free
trade throughout the world"
With this free trade record of its plat
forms there goes a record of tariff tinker
ing in Congress. Since 1876 almost every
Congress has seen an attempt on the part
of Democrats to change the tariff law IN
manner injurious to the industrial
interests of the country. Past Democratic
tariff legislation has been entirely
without regard to the business interests
of the United States. If Grover Cleve-
land is elected the Democrats are pledged
to pass the most sweeping free trade
measure ever introduced into Congress.
The security of American industry de-
mands that the free trade crowd shall be
beaten in 1892 as they were beaten IN

The Richmond State, referring to the
action of the authorities of the University
of Virginia in extending to females, under
prescribed conditions, certain educational
advantages connected with that great in.
stitution OF learning, asserts, as fact,
that there are now seven thousand white
females in Richmond who earn their
living in various branches of business,
Notwithstanding the fact that five years
after the war closed less then twenty
five women in the same city were accorded
the right to earn wages. SO many reasons
exist, says the Norfolk Ledger, why
females should be permitted to earn q
livelihood in whatever industry or calling
they can procure employment, that we
are surprised at the opposition which
manfests itself 10 various quarters to
their advancement. The growth, however,
of the cities, towns and villages of the
South IS settled. by afcrding oppor-
tunities for women to become independent
of those upon whom, otherwise, they
would have to rely Tor support. Ideas
which obtain root and furnished when
the country between the Potomac and
the Rio Grande was devoted almost
to agricultural products, will
have TO give way to changes made
necessary by changed industrial condi-
ions.
