no James L. Tribbls, Esq. In reading
and pnb blishing your exceedingly inter-
esting aud thoughtful article on the
financial question il the last issue of the
sINTELLIaENcER, we did not think that
.you were treading on anybody's toes in
Anderson, and in our little editorial COM
;ment on the article we did not think we
were striking at any particular indi-
yidual. But it seems we were mistaken.
!, The last issue Of Russelps Advocate
plainly led dicates, in two-column edito-
rial, that its editor was standing right in
! the way. and was simply punctured all
over. We never saw palmer verifica-
ton ofthe old saying, the. hit dog always
yelps,, and ID this instance the shit dog'
yelped SO long and loud that we fear he
has by this time don tex to de woods" !"
and is still yelping. Now, Mr.. Tribble,
there is only oneway to get out ofthisa and
quiet 'sthe yelps Of the hit dog" viz. !:
just own up that you are an ig1loremus,
that you know nothing about the inan-
cial question, and go to Washington at
once and announce to the Senate that, If
it wants to settle the great question that
is before it, to send at once to Anderson
for the ewiseacre editor Of the Advocate
and make him Secretary of Finance in
President Cleveland's Cabinet, There
will then be no further trouble or worry
about the great question. 1t will be
settled. What pity we had NOT thought
OF this before and suggested 1t to the
President. The country would have had
no panic or money stringency, and the
government saved the expense of an
extra session Of Congress.

It is the Unloaded Gun that Kills.

COLUMBUS, GA, September 12.-This
morning T. w. and J. Fletcher, living at
the Radcliffe place, twelve miles east OF
Colum bus, were coming into town &C.
companied by a friend named Somers
with load Of produce. somers had q
Winchester rifle, with which he had been
shooting at crows along the road, and
after emptying, as he thought, he
laid it in the bottom o. the wagon.
When four miles down Tom Fletcher,
who was sitting on the seat with Somers
in the rear of his brother, who was driv=
ing, picked up the rife and commenced
toying with it, all throe being
under the impression that 1t was not load
ed.
Suddenly there was a discharge and
with cry Of pain John Fletcher fell
with blood spoutipg from q gaping
wonnd in his thigh. The ''qnloaded"
weapon had been discharged. He was
picked up by his brother and Somers
aud carried into house in the vicinity,
where he expired two hours later, just
after the arrival of physicians. The ar
terry OF his thigh had been severed. All
the parties are well-to-do farmers and
are highly esteemed in the county. The
deceased was 25 years old and leaves
wife and q child.

Five Shot In Jail.

COLUMBUS, MISS, September Is
Pickens County, Alabama, comes to the
front again with an awful butchering Of
prisoners confined in the Jail at Carroll
ton. Paul Archer, Will Archer, Polk
Hill, Ed. Guyton and Ellen FAINT, all
negroes, and the latter woman, were
shot to death last night by q mob Of
masked men.
Some time during last week the mill
and ginhoIse Of j. E. Woods were burn
ed. In about q week the negroes were
ton Jail. The preliminary Investigation
vas in progress, but had not been con-
cluded. Last night the sheriff was called
on in his room at the Jail building and
was told that parties had prisoner
whom they had arrested they wanted to
turn over to him. The sheriff came down
from his room, and unlocking che Jail
door, found himself in the hands OF
disguised mob who demanded of him the
KEYS to the cell where the prisoners were
cor fined. This request was urged upon
the sheriff by the glistening barrels of
hundred Winchesters.
After the officer was overpowered the
mob qui2kly made its way to the grated
cells Of the prisoners and through the
iron bars the barrels Of the rifles were
placed and from every muzzle came
dozen balls. In seconds time five
human beings had been cruelty butcher
ed and their quivering bodies lay in
streams of blood which ran across the
floor.
The mob then quietly dispersed after
havin committed the cowardly and brutal
deed. Carrolltop is an inland town with
out railroad or telegraph and it is impos-
sible to get any information az to the
testimony against the negroes charged
with arson, but it is said that one negro
confined in the Jail had turned States
evidence against the others. The mob
made him leave the Jail and also told
him it would be best for him to leave the
State. The negro left and has not been
seen since.
This is the second lynching that Pickens
County has furnished in the last few
weeks. Joe Floyd, negro, was hung
by mob and his body riddled with
bullets 9 few weeks ago for the murder
ofa white farmer.
Their attorney was trying to secure
their release on habeas corpus and the
people fearing that they would be releas"
cd on legal squibble, organized Wed.
nesday at midnight. The mob intended
to take the prisoners out and hang them.
When they got inside the Jail the negroes
raised such ap uproar that the mob was
afraid the town would be alarmed, 30
they shot the prisoners in their cells.
The whole county is excited over tho
lynching.

Dispatches from Washington say that
President Cleveland is in favor of the re-
peal of the ten Per cent tax on State
banks and the abolition of the present
national bank system. In place Of the
snationat banks he favors the establish
nsnt Of State banks of issue, with strict
national supervision. The stand on the
matter the President has taken is said to
sbe very generally approved, and more
especially SO as the repeal Of the prohibi-
tory tax on State banks is to be hedged
around with such safeguards that wild
eat money under the new system Of State
banks will be impossible. 1t is said that
the bill for the new system has been
drafted by Secretary Carlisle with the

For this we thank our friends and
patrons.
We are happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead Of any previous years
business in our history. We presume
that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your motley
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for tremendous Fall trade.
We have already bought some Bar
gains that pleasing prices will be
made on.
We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you
and business for ourselves.
To this end we arc working in the
day and thinking in the night. Six
days hard work and six nights hard
study will surely make telling weeks
work.
That's the kind of work we shall
