EDITION


EDITOR HERALD:- II wish TO call the at.
tention of the Schuylkill Traction Company
to the fact that under its present schedule
for running cars it is causing the public
much inconvenience and embarrassment and
is loing money. without any public notice
the company has changed its schedule so that
the last car leaves the east end Of Girard-
willie at 1890 p. IN. During the past few
nights large numbers Of patrons Of the road
visiting that town were sorely vexed to find
that they were left behind. Through the
kindness of some of the motor men extra
trips were made and these people were re-
heved from the very unpleasant alternative
of remaining in Girardville all night or
walking to Shenandoah. Last Monday even
ing over thirty people of the latter town were
left behind and on another evening large
number of ladies who attended surprise
party at Girardville met with the same fate.
If the company does not abandon its present
system it will make a big mistake and lose
considerable money. Why, last summer,
when the electric road was in primitive
condition much of its earnings was derived
from the people who took rides down the
valley and ba k again at late hours in the
evening. The pleasure parties left this town
at eight and nine o'clock at night and the
cars were crowded on the return trips even
until one and two a. m. 1t may not seem
proper that people should seek pleasure at
such hours, but that makes no difference to
the railway company. 1t is looking for pat
ronage and money. l hope the Traction
people will look into this matter carefully.
They will find that II p. m. is early enough
for the last car to leave Girardville.

Letter From Georgia.

SMYRNA, GA, March 10, 1898.
DEAR HERALD AND TRIBUNE Enclos-
ed find a hit at the unwisdom of the
all cotton idea in Georgia, making
whatever remarks you please in the
interest of better plans and wiser man
agement.
Ma Simpson says some farmers sing
in February when they get home with
supplies from Hardeman, Legg, and
others
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
Flour, bacon by the hundred pound y
But in November they'll sing
Show pity, Hardeman and Legg!
Our crap was short-we hate to beg,
But If you can not us forgive,
We can't see how we're gwine to live !
We've all worked hard -provisions gone
And now cold winters coming on!
In Denmark there is something rotten
We smell it plain-it must be cotton !
Our eyes are opening Lights sweet
We must raise more at home to eat.
Bad Western meat here in the South
Can touch a cotton crapper's mouth
Another song from now we'll shout
Raise grub at home or do without ~
Here's another piece of Georgia wit
and fun An old man, very lean and
gray, and over three score years of age,
was asked why he did not brush up,
dye his hair and strike out" for a
young girl, as he walked so brisk and
was a widower. All replied the old
man, very seriously, Il tried that four
years ago in Middle Georgia, and | had
to lie out in the woods for months to
keep from becoming a Mormon. Too
many wanted me !"
Now, if all or any of this will cause
the thrifty and industrious East Ten
nesseans to come and see us at home
in Gooberland We will prove that we
have fine climate, good, cheap land
and a merry, social people, but some
very poor and hard run so called far
mers, who have to raise two pounds of
cotton to pay for n pound of western
bacon! 7. +. J~EFFRIEs.

THE IYNCHING,

Saturday forenoon a meeting of citizens
of Jacksboro was held in the court house.
Those in attendance called upon the people
to take all necessary steps to prevent any
overt act on the part of the populace, and it
was thought that the law would have its
way.
In the afternoon things remained quiet.
At night another meeting was held, and it
was during It's progress that the lynching
was done.
1t appears that not more than fifteen or
twenty men were in the lyhching party, and
they were well organized and their plans
worked well.
About 10 O'Clock two men went to the Jail
ors' house and knocked on the door, saying
they wanted something to eat. Tailor Irwin
responded to the knock, and no sooner had
he opened the door than he was covered by
two pistols. Though armed, he was unable
to resist. By this time the members of the
party were all on hand, and the Tailor was
forced to unlock the doors of the Jail and
the cage in which Jones was confined. Jones
made some show of resistance, but was ia
ken out and the party with their prisoner
started away. They took him about a quar-
ter of a mile, to a cross beamed gate on the
property of ]. NJ. Bibee, where they halted.
A member of the l%ynching party had pro-
vided himself with sufficient rope, and the
prisoners hands were bound and the rope
tied in a knot rou his neck. Then he
was hoisted upon the gate and the rope adj
justed to the proper length and Jones was
told to jump.
Il hate TO co." was his response.
Again was the demand made, and again
the same response. But it was of no avail,
and the gate was swung from under him. A
few commissions, and all was over.

1t has been some time since we took
our pen in hand to write an article for

but few items to write this time. But

A POnderOus Roof.

The roof of the "McKaye Spectacle
rum" of Chicago, is an immense af-
fair of steel, which weighs 1900, 900
pounds. To place this roof in position
required a derrick of the travelling va
riety, and of more strength than any
previously used for such a purpose.
This derrick is an immense affair in
itself. From the base to the top pull
ley its altitude is 1870 feet, and its
weight including the guy ropes and Ca
bles, is 20 tons. The raising of this
derrick attracted considerable atten-
ton among mechanical engineers, and
four times was an attempt made and
failure the result. The fifth time was
successful, however, and the derrick
s now in position.

A MURDER AND A LYNCHING.
Sheriff Burnett of Campbell, Killed..
His Murderer Lynched.

A terrible tragedy occurred on the Knox
VILE and Ohio passenger train'last Saturday
morning, at Hell's Point, near Newcomb, in
Campbell County, in which Sheriff John
Burnett, of Campbell County, was killed.
Deputy Sheriff John Dial probably fatally
shot, Cruso f. Smith MORALLY wounded and
Jesse Jones seriously injured.
The Sheriff and his Deputy went to Jellico
Friday to arrest Jesse Jones for carrying
weapons. Jones was arrested and a pistol
taken from him. Jellico is near the Ken
lucky line, and in a short time a number of
Jones' friends came to his rescue, and sue
ceeded In taking him from the officers, and
crossed the line and defed the Sheriff.
About 4 O'Clock Saturday morning the off,
GERS boarded a train for home. After passing
Newcomb the conductor discovered that the
door of the water closet in the smoking car
was locked. He suspected that Jones was
hiding within, as he got on the train at Jelli-
co. The conductor called the Sheriff to the
door, and gave him a key, but he could not
unlock the door. The conductor ordered the
party on the inside to open the door, which
was done and Jones was found within. Dep
uty Sheriff Dial was sitting close to the Sher-
if n his prisoner. Nearby was seated an
old man named Smith, evidently a friend OF
Jones. The old man had a Winchester in
his lap. Near the center of the car was an
other friend of Jones, named Cruso Smith, a
young man, who tried to draw his pistol on
the Sheriff, but was prevented by the Depu-
ty, Dial. The elder Smith then caught Dial
apl baIJ him, CO hn on,Il NOD H. orxtls..
just at this time some one began to fire at
the officers, and the Sheriff was shot dead.
In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Dial had
freed himself from Smith and opened fire on
the murderous gang. But he was overpow-
cred and thrown off the running car, his as
sailant jumping after him. The train was
stopped as quick as possible n run back to
the point where Dial was thrown off. He
was found near the track in a dazed condi-
ton, and it was found that he had been shot
in the temple. Cruso Smith and Jones were
found near the same place, apparently dead
but they soon recovered consciousness.
Jones had a broken arm and some bruises
about the head, n Cruso Smith had a shot
in the breast and his right arm broken. Dial

Smith Is not known.
When the train reached Careyville, the
nearest railroad point to Jacksboro.t the Dep
uty Sheriff got off with his prisoners to take
them to Jail in Jacksboro. The remains OF
the Sheriff were also taken off at Careyville
After Jones had been placed in Jail he
confessed that he killed Sheriff Burnett.

CONCERNING the prospects of the Of
flee seekers of East Tennessee now on
the anxious seat, the following dis
patch is regarded as containing about
as reasonable a solution as possible to
be arrived at this time:
There is a growing feeling of dis
satisfaction among the East Tennessee
candidates which is at present an un.
der current but apt to grow into a
bowling cataract whenever an agree
ment is reached by the congressman
from Middle and West Tennessee re-
latives to the East Tennessee appoint
ments and this may find voice in APP
peal to the President by the defeated
applicants. That is certainly the feel
ing tonight among those who feel
doubtful of their chances. 1t is regar-
ded as somewhat doubtful whether the
delegation will be able to agree upon
a slate or not. The hitch is likely to
come first e the pension agency.
For this the friends of d. A. Carpen-
ter, the former incumbent, claim the
u%nwavering backing of both the sena-
tors, but a majority of the conference,
it is claimed, will be opposed to him
under the Presidents ruling. 1t seems
that Judge F. W. Moore, of Union City,
an ex-Union soldier himself, will have
five or may be six members, while An
drew j. Patterson will also have his
friends. Even should the Senators car
ry their point, it is suspected that the
President may override them. The
Marshalship of East Tennessee is con-
fdently claimed for William H. Bal
lou. The collectorship will lie between
James Armitage and r. B. Hickey.
For the Attorneyship James H. Bible
has an overwhelming Endorsement, but
w. L. Welcker is pushing him. There
promises to be charges and counter
charges in this contest, no matter what
the conference may do, and considera-
BILE feeling is brewing. Bibles pros
poets are not quite so bright as they
were a week ago.

THE LEGISLATURE.
What is Being Done by Our SOiOns at
Nashville,
NASHVILLE, March 90. 1913.

NASHVILLE, March 20, 1913.
Mr.. Vests bill to amend the charter
of johnson City vas passed.
A great deal of time was taken up in
the discussion of the penitentiary bill,
which resulted in bringing out a great
variety of opinions and but little more.
A bill to repeal the poll tax wherein
it affects elections vas reported by the
Elections Committee recommended for
rejection, which, after considerable de-
bate was done.
Many new bills were introduced, tle
one against a uniform ballot receiving
the most attention, during which a
strong opposition to such a bill was
developed. The bill was rejected.
Mr.. Aliens hill to prevent catching
fish with seines in the Watapga river
was passed.
The bill changing the law as to the
age of consent was changed, making
the time at which consent maybe given
sixteen years, instead of ten, as here
tofore. Considerable opposition was
offered to the bill but it was finally
passed by a good vote.
A resolution directing the Dubose
Investigating Committee to report
whether or not Judge Dubose should be
proceeded against, and whether the ac-
ton should be in the nature of an i'm
parchment, was taken up, and pro-
voked considerable discussion, but was
finally settled by adopting a resolution
to simply investigate the facts in the
case, and leaving the committee to re-
port on the law of impeachment, and
to recommend whether Judge Dubose
is to be proceeded against, and if SO,
whether by impeachment or concur
rent resolution of removal.

ACCORDING to the census Tennessee

ACCORDING to the census Tennessee
makes a good showing as compared
with other States regarding the in
debtedness on her homes. 1t is shown
that fifty eight per cent. of the fami-
lilies living on farms in this State own
their farms, and that only three per
cent. of the farms are encountered.
Among the entire population of the
State twenty nine per cent. W their
homes, and but six per cent. of them
are encountered. The debt on homes
is less than $2, 1000, 900, and the interest
on this amount is a little over six per
cent.
