railway system. Among the four
men who controlled the road he was
the d who had the most sympathy

misused he was all right if he could
get the a of Mr.. Stanford. He was
elected governor OF the state and sub
sequently a senator, which Office he
held at the time of his death. His

DIR. NJ. J. Davis is a prominent ply

Having sold Ohamberlain's Collie, ChOl-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy for the
past seventeen years, and knowing It's
reliability, he procured n 25 cent bot

The Memphis Commercial comes
to the rescue of Senators BATE and
HARRIS, who have been charged by
lew bankers at Memphis with
having engaged in obstructive tao
tics, and says that it is not true;
that neither of them has interposed
a single objection by word or act to
delay the final action Of the Senate
on the WILSON repeal bill. And
in all probability the real obstruot-
ionists will soon see wherein Sena-
tors HARRIS and BATE were per-
fectly justified in their course in
this matter.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.

Employment Found for Law-breakers by
the WOrk-house Commissioners
The commissioners appointed by
the county court last week have lost
no time since the Jail has been de-
clared a county work house, and all
the prisoners who are held by the
county for failure to secure fines
and costs which have been assessed
against them have been putting in
their time this week at work on the
public road between Camden and
the station on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railroad.
This is new and commendable de-
parture upon the part of the coun-
ty that is not relished by the pris-
oners, and no doubt it will have It's
influence with the violators Of law
and order in this county in the fu-
ture. There is deal Of difference,
however, in lying in gail and being
fed by the county and in being com.
PEELED to work without recompense
for their labor which must be ex-
perienced by some before it can be
fully appreciated.

PATIENTS FOR THE ASYLUM.
william AsIsew and Bill Allen Declared
to be of Unsound Mind.

Two persons Of unsound mind
have been held in jail here this
week until the necessary arrange
ments could be made for placing
them in the asylum. Bill Allen,
colored, who has been acting some
what strangely for some time past,
was captured in Q nude condition
Friday Of last week, and it was with
difficulty he was confined in jail to
prevent his iniuring himself or in
fieting injury on others. William
Askew, who resides III the northern
part of the ninth civil district, was
brought up Monday morning to be
sent to the asylum. Askew is an
old patient, having been confined
in the asylum before, and little
hope is entertained for the recovery
Of the unfortunate man. An effort
was made the first Of the week to
send Allen to the asylum for the
insane at Bolivar, but the superin-
tendent of that institution writes
that no provisions have yet been
made there for the accommodation
Of colored patients, and suggested
that he be sent to the asylum al
Nashville. Arrangements having
been made Askew was carried tc
Bolivar yesterday by Sheriff W. G
Kirk to be placed in the asylum
An effort is being made to have
Allen placed in the asylum at Nash
vile, butno arrangements had beer
concluded up to yesterday.

THE EpwoRTH LEAGUE.
A Movement Made Sunday Evening TO Re4
organize the League.

After the close Of the devotional
services by Rev. J. L. Weaver at
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, Sunday evening, a move
ment was inaugurated to reorganize
the Epworth League, and a partial
organization was effected, which is
to be completed at a meeting called
for that purpose next Sunday even-
ing. To some extent the Epworth
League is to the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, what the Young
Peoples Society Of Christian En-
deavor is to other protestant evan
gelical churches, and with two such
organizations in our midst the good
people of Camden should feel en-
couraged to continue the greatwork
begun in this community and in
which no christian of whatever de-
nomination can refuse to enlist.

governorship Of Tennessee next

A. PIERCE, who was left at home
last year because he took his poll
tics mixed, will be the combination
man for governor, and the Senator
to be. evolved out of the go-as-you-
please combination will be III. CLAY
