Famoas Noman aIoonshiner.


AIollie Miller, the woman moonshiner Of
Polk county, died a few days ago at her
home in the mountains.
Her operations at one time were car
1ied on very extensively, and she was at
the head Of a gang which was involved
in more bloody fights with reyenne off,
vers than any other organized in the
South. Her first experience was in the
mountains of Sewer county. where she
assisted her father, Sam Miller Here
Deputy Marshal Mcpherson led raid
under guide who had a grudge against
Miller. In an almost inaccessible gorge
the officers encountered the mO0nshiners.
A bloody fight ensued, and three of
the revenue men we're killed, the others
retreating. It was noticed that a young
girl was enc OF the party and it has al
ways been believed that she killed one of
the officers. Another raid was made, in
which Miller was killed and bis associates
captured. About this time the revenue
officers received box containing the
remains of the man who had Informed
upon the gang There was nothing to in
dicate from whom it came and the box
must have been carried by wagon and
left at the marshal's house.
The woman was not found. and 1t was
soon known that she had fed. In few
months Polk county, which had always
furnished considerable Illicit whisky, be-
came the headquarters Of the 1noonshin-
ers throughout East Tennessee, and raid
followed raid until there was scarcely a
cave on the Hiawasse river that had not
been the scene of some bloody fight be-
tween the moonshiners and revenue men.
1t became known that this woman was
a leader, but she was never arrested but
once, and then the proof was such that
she escaped with light sentence. After
the Knoxville Southern railroad was built
the country became too easy of access,
and. with the exception Of an occasional
petty offender, the gang was broken up.
The woman moonshiner retired to a small
farm. where she remained undisturbed,
except at two or three times, when she
was taken to Chattanooga as witness,
when she would collect her fees and start
on a walk over the mountains, distance
of sixty miles, to her home
1t is supposed that the killing of three
revenue officers and four or FIVE informers
can be charged to her directly, while the
gang of which she was a member could be
held accountable for several others, but
it was never possible to prove these
charges, and she died without ever hav-
ing been tried for them.

An Old Country Custom Practiced in New
England Colony.


An Old Country Custom Practiced In a New
England Colony.
'sThere is an interesting survival in
portions of New England Of very pc
culiar Welsh marriage custom Of great
antiquity" said Clement Euclid, Of
Boston. ssThe Welsh arc not Of a
wandering or emigrating disposition.
but some few of them formed colonies
in some of our oldest states, and their
descendents have not forgotten the tra-
ditions Of old The marriage custom
consists In sending out a number of
biddings to wedding, coupled with q
request for specified present The re-
suit is the young couple In humble cir
stances can start housekeeping with
the certainty that their wedding gifts
will assume useful proportions. Every
gift is in reality loan, because the ac-
ceptance obIigates the young couple to
respond TO similar application from
each of the persons hidden or solicited.
IN other words, this good old Welsh
custom amounts very much 70 a tax on
single blessedness, and also an insur-
ance, payable not on death but on mar
riage In Welsh towns, where the
practice is general, it is most beneficial
Ia it's results, and among the New En-
gland colony It is quite pleasant lit
tie diversion, even though the matri-
moniaI clubs are not very strong IA

Dodging the Income Tax.

From the New York World.
The republican stumpers are still
fighting very shy of the tax.
Gov. Mckinley, during his speech at
St. Louis, was asked by a voice in the
audience: show about the income
taxp" The artful dodger evaded the
question with the .ssmart" retOrt that
1--WE are a good deal more troubled
about what incomes we are to get
hereafter than about the tax on them"
But q certain number Of people will
enjoy Incomes of more than $4,000, in
spite or because of the remnants of
McKinleyism left in the tax laws.
What does Mckinley, what do Harri-
son, Reed, Sherman, Allison and the
other republican leaders, think of this
taxp
They do, not say. They dare not.
In this state Mr.. Platt's convention
emitted a feeble protest against ''tax-
ing prosperity" The boss's party has
so long taxed poverty that the dele
gates assumed, in a dazed sort of way,
that this is still the proper policy to
advocate. But since the convention
none of tie republican orators or
organs have demanded that this tax on
concrete luAury be repealed in order
that taxes on crying necessities may be
restored.
Nearly everywhere except In New
York the democrats are approving this
most Just apd least burdensOme OF
taxes. And the republicans know
public sentipent to we'll to oppose 1t
openly. 4

CENTRAL COLLEGE NOTES.

The most important event OF the week
In college IVA the DOMINIC of the uniforms
Sunday morning. The anxious faces OF
the girls showed that they realized the
importance OF the OCCASION; but when
President Jones, as the long line filed
past him into the church, remarked.
"How well the girls look In uniform"
avery lace became radiant and each girl
fslr assured OF the correctness Of her
attire.
Mr.. Chas. Evans, OF Norborne, visited
his sister, Miss Tillie, on Monday.
The latest ..fad" In Central Is to procure
flowers to serve Is play things for Jack
Frost the fret time he honors us with .

nom their mothers on Monday, were

Mrs. p. e. Ayers visited her niece, Miss
Edith Priest, last Monday.
The latest word coined at Central 10
"Trioxids," meaning three singers.

honored student OF Central during the
two sessions previous to the last, visited

perimenting with phosphorus, ignited IL

their hands and clothes. The young
ladies' say they are fully satisfied that
phosphorus will burn-and that too' on
very slight provocation.
Perhaps, among the many tributes paid
Miss Bing's beautiful solo in church last
Sunday morning, the most appreciative
one was that of the girl who said' III

other to our long list Of boarding pupils.

VESTS SPEECH.

Senator Vests speech here Monday
manly, able. logical and eloquent.
1t was a grand, old-time democratic
speech, and delighted n Of the largest
and most representative audiences ever
assembled in Lafayette county. The
venerable senator never makes q bad
speech, nor does he ever preach false
doctrines. From a democratic stand
point, too much cannot be said Of the
manly and courageous manner in which
he handled the issues of government.
In this era there are too many political
towards, too many demagogues, too
many men who wish to ride on the popu-
lar wave, too many who want Office and
are willing. TO do and say most anything
to curry favor with all classes. There
is nm overplus of ''two-by-four petit
foggers,'' who are willing TO bury their
own individuality for another mans
vote. Vest tioes not belong to any Of
these clastA. He is q politician, but
withal a tesman. He is q master Of
English, U5t uses fluent words to ex-
press logic opinions. We print a large
part of hi speech, which speaks for
itself. All Who heard it were at once
impressed 18th the sincerity, the honor
and the cx Or which characterized it.
1t diff from many political
on the principle that the republicans
make platforms Ito catch votes" 1t
was spoken to promulgate the true prin-
ciples Of the democratic party. 1t was
not the harangue Of q demagOgue, but
the wisdom Of q statesman.
Throughout his political career NO
man has ever accused Vest OF being q
coward, nor has any one ever honestly
doubted his ability to discuss democratic
principles nor his sincerity in upholding
them.
On the financial question Vest made
himself very clear. He is q loyal bi-
metallist and made a strong argument
for the double standard, of which he has
been q strong advocate, and for which
he has made q noble fight.
AL In all, he Is the same Vest, who
will not surrender democratic principles
and who asks for no quarter.

both one year for q.

Richmond Democrat: The ancient
and pie-bald Van Horn, Of the Kansas
City Journal, has been named BY the
republicans as their standard bearer
for congress in the Kansas City dis
trict. This Is the same Van Horn,
who. by the aid of Count Rodmau,
stole the seat In congress to which
Gen. Jas. Shields was elected, more
than . quarter Of . century ago; the
same Van Horn who assisted Rodman
and Warner n burning the ballots Of
jackson county; and the same van
Horn who was connected with any
number of disreputable plots, By which
the people were disfrapchised and The
treasury looted in the palmy days whsa
the republicans held power In this
state, and Official stealing was good.
At this late day 1t seems . little strange
that the republicans should put this old
fossil up for Office, especially - be he's
been connected with 90 many Of the
shady transactions Of his party; but,
perhaps, they recognized the TACT that
Tarsney was ~jnvincible, and that they
had just As well put up old Van 70 BE-

question discussed In connection WITH

.sPRESIDENTIAL TOURISTS"

a
In the modern history Of American
politics we have recorded two famous
journeys, both parallel cases, and both
inspired by the same motives.
One of these journeys is recorded to
the democrats and n to the republic
cans. The n has passed out Of history
and long since returned to its subject as
a genuine, live boomerang. The other
will in time pursue the anne channels.
The Youngest reader of politics re-
members the famous tour Of Dave Hill
through the south. Inspired, as it was,
by an ambition to be the chief executive,
it attracted the attention of press and
people throughout the nation. Hill
stumped the south for the Office, and
when the roll was called, q few votes
from Georgia were all that were recorded
to his credit. This famous tour was
through the south, and Of course, the
western people knew little about it SAVE
what they read in the newspaper.
But the western people were not to be
slighted. From the executive mansion
in Ohio, Major Mckinley, dreaming of
the presidency and listening attentively
to the presidential bee buzzing near,
looked out upon this great western
country, and thought to himself how
glorious it would be to command the
western vote in the national republican
convention Of 'W. While meditating
thus, the idea struck the major that he
would plan q tour Of the western states
ostensibly a tour in the interest of the
republican party, but secretly a tour to
boom Mckinley for president.
The major did not slight Missouri and
even went into bleeding" Kansas and
drought stricken Nebraska. Along
the line he was greeted by anxious peO-
pie who wished to see the protection
king" and hear what he would say. He
drew better than a dime museum. He
made speeches that sounded mor like
the wailings Of a Kansas pOpulist or the
Arguments Of a genuine ward-heelcr than
they did like the words Of q statesman.
They were free from argument, but
abounded in nonsensical jokes and
'quack" statements. But then Nc
Kinley was running for the presidency,
and, like Hill, had all he could attend to
looking after his own interests. Hill
did not get to be president, and-he
never will. 1t now remains to be seen
whether ~junketing tours over the
country will land the nomination for
Mckinley. If it does, presidential
tours" in an ''Off year" may be an
innovation to national politics.
However, it is to be hoped that an
era Of campaigning for the greatest
Office in the gift Of the people, such as
that for the township constable, will
not be ushered in for some time to
come.
Those of our great statesmen who
have presidential aspirations, con watch
with interest these two presidential
tourists"
