B6yn We are not in the habit Of noticing
the spiteful fa'sehoods that are told about
Us occasionally; but during the past few
weeks falsehoods Of the most contemplate
and malicious character have been circula-
ted, doing US serious financial injury at this
time, which calls for some notice. AS q
specim en- Lost week, in the presence oi
four or five persons, at Cross Keys, man
openly stated that a young man from the
country had died from drinking three drams
of whiskey bought at "biind tiger in this
town.
Upon one Of his listeners saying he had
not read of the occurrence in The TINES, he
replied, Oh no, Stokes would not say any
thing about it, because the whiskey came
from blind tiger and he's in with the
whiskeyitas and opposes the a;spensary."
All who know US know that VIC are op-
posed TO selling whiskey as beverage,
whether through open barrooms, blind
tigers, or the dispensary, but we have openly
and often announced our preference for the
dispensary in place of blind tigers, from
the simple fact that there is some lawful
responsibility attached TO the. dispensary,
but blind tigers are lswless aud irresponsi-
BILE nuisances.
That is our position before the public,
and We do not '.carry two face, under one
hat =,
But how +id-thIs swift witness against us
know the whiskey that be saii killed
the man in three drinks came from blind
tiger? H. surely could not make the bold
assertion, even against the tiger, much less
against us, if he had not proof to sustain it.
Blind tigers and their customers don't tell
upon each other. We are neither, and
never was in a dispensary.
But we claim, if any young or cd man was
killed with three drinks of whiskey, it must
have been dispeusary y that did it, for we
are told by persons who have tasted the
stuff that one drink will knock u man down
across the street, and if it will do that three
drinks will surely kill. That's sound logic.
Nc are under the suppression that our
Cross Keys friend(?) either wilfully intended
to tell what was not 50, or he did not know
what he was taking ABOUT, or he had taken
on, or in, a heavy 'oad Of dispensary X.

they are working for it, too.
They do not and will not endorse the
action Of the legislature that gives $4,000 Of
the peoples money every year for the pub

bid for it. 1t was neither ecca5iny nor re-
form.
They look with serious apprehension for
the future of the judiciary upon the election
of partisan Judges to supplant Judges who
dared TO decide law questions according TO
the law rather than sacrifice their own self
respect, the purity and the dignity Of their
high position TO the caprice or will Of
partisan Governo:.
They are disgus;el and even alarmed at the
danger to their personal rights, the safety,
peace aud qlict Of their homes, by the
passage of a law thnt will empower or

REASONABLY thought was pack of roughs
and perhaps thieves; law that gives
constable the power to break open q lady's
trunk at n depot station and ransack it; a
law that empowers n constable to seal up

a constable to invade the sanctiiy of lady's

uusound in principle and demoraliziug in

And this blood.hed, tyranny and petty
annoyances are committed upon the people,
merely under the suspicion or belief Of these
irresponsible officers that there may be
quart OF a gallon or more Of whiskey hid
away in the house, trunk of a lady or safe
of an individual, that had not the States

These are few of The so-called reform
measures that are destroying the reform

justice nor reform in them; and they are

The PIsroL SETTLES A PoLITIcAL D.-
pUTr. Vow Uri cans, Msrch 3.-The Plea
yune's Kosciusko, Miss. special says: One
Of the saddest and NEST lamentabe events
known in the history of Koscitsko occurred
here today, The noble and generous Sam
uel A. Jackson is dead, the result of q
deadly duel with pistols with W. p. Ra,liffe.
Two outsiders, Samuel Russell and Will
Sanders, young men living n few miles
from The city, were a'so hit. The former
was shot in the mouth and killed Instantly
and the latter shot through the thigh and is,
it is thought, mortality wounded. The town
is naturally in q whirl Of excitement, aud
well she may bc. 1t was oil caused by
publication in Rstliffe's paper claiming that
Jackson. while at the last meeting of the
legislature, voted for Populist in q c,m.
mittee caucus Of Democrats. Mr.. jackson
claimed that Rttliffe miscepresented him.
When last weeks Star came out with a card
signed by jackson applying an epithet to
Ratliffe, the friends of both men naturally
felt very uneasy lest an encounter would
take place between the TWO and some ad-
vanccs were made TO reconcile the contro-
versy pending by friends of both men, but il
is a lameulabe fact that it was not contin-
ued, and now as a result Of the negligence
of the peace makers one of the principals i,
dead, another mortally wounded, one be-
hiud prison bars and a family and friends
stricken with grief.
DEATH OF GrN. IunaI E.eIy. Lynch burg,
Va, March 2.--United States Senator John
W. Daniel walked into the News Office at ii
o. clock tonight and in sad voice announcci
that his old commander, Gen. Jubal A.
Early, at whose bedside he had been n con.
slant watcher for some days, had gone TO his
eternrl reward. General Early died al
10 80. lie passed away quietly in the pres
cnce of his family and physician, his kin
dred and several intimate friends. The oil
general seemed aware of his approaching
end early in the day. Before noon he called
for the morning paper, as was his invari-
able custom, and attempted to read, but
found that his sight was failing. Soon after
he extended his hand to Senator DaIiel aud
calmly said: 81 want to tell you goodbye,
Major" lie then told his nephew. Cnhel!
Early, farewell, after which he dropped into
q quiet slumber. Later in the day tho dying
veteran asked Senator Daniel not TO leave
the room. rs he wauted to talk with him
about certain arrangements hut from that
time he suffered such intense pain that he
did not revive the subject. He met de1,h
untliuchinsly with his hand resting quietly
in Senator Daniels.

Esay" The mass meeting at Abberi lie last
Monday, to hear the candidates for Governor
Of the State, was largely attended by the
people, but only two of the numerous can
didates spoken of were there. o: course
the irrepressible John Gary Evans was
there, and opened the campaign ball with a
characteristic speech in which he swallowed
the whole Ocala platform, including all the
railroads. engines, freight and passenger
cars in the country. whether the owners
would sell them to the government or not
Candidate Zimmerman also spoke. He
managed to get down every plank of tho
Oca'a platform until he got to the railroads
and telegraph poles, and he said he could
not get them down.
The let er of Mr.. Tindal was undoubtedly
the best because the most reasonable, states
man'iie and patriotic, of all the speeches
delivered or letters read at the meeting. We
intend publishing Mr.. Tindaps letter without
comment, although We do not entirely agree
with him We, however, believe it comes
from one o. tho best men in the State, and
one who would come nearer sacrificing his
own interest for The gool of the State than
any o'her man we know.

Capt. G. W. Shell is the president of
