ney general for that circuit Mr..
Owings lie, without doubt, one OF
the ablest prosecuting officers In the
state. When nominated and
elected eight years ago he was
quite young and not very generally
known as a lawyer. But his pow
ers as an advocate and attorney
quickly became apparent. When
it comes to dealing with facts and
applying them under the law, so
necessary in criminal pfactice, he
does il with wonderful force. He
is the right man in the right place,

to realize it. AS in the case OF

GIBSON ADVERTISING AGENTS.

We are reliably informed that
GibsOn's clerks and masters have
organized a literary bureau and
are flooding the district with lying
letters in his behalf. Mr.. ChumIea,
of Biount County is one of these
prolific writers. One Of his letters
is being shown around in London
fer campaign purposes, in which
Mr.. Chumlea Claims that Blount

ans of loyal Blount are anxious for

to begin. They desire a clerk and
master that can come nearer tell
ing the truth than the present in

Here it is again. The above is
the regular Houk doctrin which
has been followed for years. Tear
down every man within their reach
if he disagrees with them. Yes
ChumIea was good man an hon
est man, a sainted man and was all
right in ever particular two years
ago. He always told the truth
then. But now that he has decid-
ed to be for man of ability-one
who capable of representing this
district he has had his character
entirely changed. He is COM
pletely demoralized and coulden't
tell the truth If he tried. Oh what
a mean man he is and Bart, who
was so neutral in this congression-
al fight until after he was nomina-
ted as chancellor, now openly de-
clares that he will take revenge by
displa cling Mr.. Chumlea. Lindsay
owes the instruction of this county
for him to Mr.. Chumlea, but that
makes no difference as one has to
swallow the whole dirty crowd If
he expected to be recognized as an
honest man by any af them. 1t is
as the TIMES said some time since
it is time for that ring to be given
some of their own medicine. Such
tactics should never have been
used, but now that they have been
the only way to meet the devil is
by using his own weapons and turn
ING them against him.

FARMERS TAKE STOCK.

II is quite time that the farmers
began to take stock. He should
count his cattle, sheep and poultry,
examine into their condition, care
for them, and husband up his re-
sources generally. This must be
done promptly, because great
change will almost Immediately

farmers if the Wilson bill Is passed

farms is to be admitted free Of duty
into the United States, causing
greater competition. more stuff in
the markets, and consequently
lower prices. Manufactured goods
from foreign countries are to come
in greater quantities, and many of
our mills must be closed or run on
part time. This will lessen the de-
mand for farm produce. The peo-
pie who have been working in the
mills will have less money to
spend and, with the markets
glutted with foreign farm stuffs,
prices will be very low. The Amer

democracy's way of running things
in Tennessee:
Bony Craig, who was convict at
Clinton, a few days ago of mudering
a:negrosat Briceville, had narrow
escape from being lynched at Jacks
boro last week. Craig's motion for
a new trial was to be argued, but
his attorney withdrew the motion
and Craig was remanded to Jail.
Armed citizens of Cambell and An
derson counties prepared to storm
the Jail for the purpose of lynching
Craig, but Shelf Fox, who was there
with an order for four other pris-
ners and Craig hustled the latter to
the train and brought him to Knox
vile, where he was turned loose
last night. He left for Nashville
to look after his APPLICATION for par
don. Craig is an ex- guard of con
victs.-Knoxville Sentinel.

not do so without substantial assur-

Or trace of suspicion.
There are a number of good law

honor to the high position of cir

in favor OF what is lawful and right
and the fact that oil of these have
stood aside after Judge Rodgers
has held the office for sixteen
years and yielded to him for an
other term of eight years is a
of which he and his
may well feel proud. And
that so pure a man is so popular
with the people whom he has served
is as creditable to them as to him.
His nomination is equivalent to an

FOR WHAT SHALL We LIVE.

Live for Christ and not for earth
ly pleasures or gain.
These words from father who
had lived his life here and who was
ready to welcome the angel of death
who would take him into the pres
ence of his Lord and King his saw
Tor Jesus Christ, we're for son.
This motto in the life before him
should be the words spoken for him.
These words from father who has
lived Christian life, contain a rich
kernel of truth as to the why and
wherefore of our habitation here.
His is witness that Christ's
words were true when he said
"Where your treasure is there
will your heart be also. This must
not mean that the business prob
lens of the day are of little impor-
lance; that success in our business or
profession, is thing of small at
tainment. On the contrary tho
Scriptures teach diligence in
business, but we must not mako
aquisition of wealth of paramount
Importance. What daily witnesses
we have of the uncertainty of the
happiness riches bring. Do we find
our happiest homo the palace in
my Lords Castle? What is the
character builder? Let history
answer this questson. Were our
really great men reared in homes of
wealth and luxury? How we love
to tell the boys Of Washington,
Lincoln, Garfield and Others whose
lives were continual struggles. As
the cutting and polishing Of the
diamond, gives it it's brilliacy, so it
was the "hard lot" not misfortune,
that was the means of bringing out
the qualities Of such beautiful col
ors, that they cease not to be adj
mired and praised by the world.
Do you know of some one who has
made gain of earthly possession the
sole aim of his life? Watch him
closely. Is contentment one of
his virtues? When the business
hours of the day are over and he
completes the family circle, does he
like IA true husband and father, put
away his cares of the day, and in
Chris tan love and sympathy fill the.
place to which God has assigned
him!
Friends, how many and how va
ried ar tehe treasures upon earth
that Christ warns us against.
One loves his dollar, another his
lands, third dress and Jewels, and
4 fourth fame etc. live not for
pleasure. These words Of admo-
milton do not mean, as som any miss
understand, that life is made up of
melancholy days" or should be.
We have many witnesses to the fact
that Christ brings good cheer and
peace into lives, aud We should try
to make it pleasant for those with
whom we are associated. Let US
keep in our hearts Carist's summa-
ry of the ten Commandments that
we havn known from childhood.
If there is any thing in our lives
the existance Of which means that
God is with US. let US then make
any sacrifice in order that we may

THAT.INTERvIeW.
Last week the Knoxville repub-

GibsOn's Army record, with Geo.
w. Bilyeu, who was in the same de-
partment Of the service and worked
right along with Gibson. This
man Bilyeu highly compliment the
Judge upon the efficiency of his
work in the commissarydepartment
and said that his father Captain A.
p Bilyew. Cibson's, commander
treated him rs son and had the
greatest confidence in his Glib
son's) integrity and ability, but
the interN iewed man, since
his attention has been called to it
remembered rather family that he
(Geo) rather 3suspisioned him at
first.
In this interview Geo. Bilyew
also states that he, who occupied
the same relation to the service rs
Gibson, is.now member of the
Grand Army. Wonder why John
Houk seeks aid from such a man T?
If he would come dawn to the 2nd
districts and run for congress, John
would go to Gibson for proof to fire
Bilyew from the G. A. Il. There is
nothing whatever in that interview
stated in plain open terms that will
injure Judge Gibson. OF course the
questions were formed in such u
manner that no matter what ans
wers were made there would be an
insinuatien., Of tsomething wrong,
but all the plain open statements

statement that he served his cOun-
try and served it well.
Again they try to prejudice the
people against Gibson on account
OF his appearance when he first
joined the army, Here is the ques-
ton: "When you first saw said
Gibson, what was his apparent
financial condition." The answer
was that he looked fnan.
cially embarrassed and was
poorly dressed. Well if that is a
sign, many good southern man
who had to leave his home in the
