A SHOCKING
Brother Kills Brother In Jackson
County.

GABBATHA, TRNN, June "a, 1895.
News reached here Saturday night of
the most p~remeditated and cold blooded
murder ever committed in this part of
the State. 1t occurred at about 7 o'clock
in the evening in Jackson county three
and one half miles from this place. John
Carter waylays his brother George Car
ter, and shoots him with twenty six
buck shot. The murder is the least pro-
voked almost Of anything known in the
catalogue Of crime, and the people for
miles around are aroused and excited,
and focking to the scene of the murder.
The story Of the crime as told to us is as
follows: John Carter, has for some time
kept a woman Of i'll fame living on his
premises, much to the terror of the COM
munity. He had become so bold and so
daring in his intimacy with her that the
moral element and law and order peo-
pie, in order to rid themselves and the
community Of the nuisance, did prose-
cute him and his paramour at the last
term of the court. George Carter was
one of the main witnesses against his
brother, and when the bill was found,
he John Carter swore that George
should not live to testify against him at
the next term Of the court. Court ap-
preaching near John proceeded to carry
out his hellish threat; leaving his home
Saturday afternoon, telling his wife that
he was going out to look for game, and
IL he did not return by dark not to be
uneasy about him. The evidence shows
so far that he went direct to the house
Of his brother and concealed himself in
the weeds and bushes in close proximity
to the house. AS night approached
George had chores to perform about the
house. Johns opportunity came at last,
when George was on his way from the
wood pile with a load of wood. John
raised from his ambush and emptied
both barrels Of his gun into the neck
and head of his brother who fell dead in
his tracks. Two children who were with
him and his wife, who stood in the door,
saw John fire the two shots and run.
He was arrested yesterday morning and
is now under trial before a magistrate,
and excitement is very high, and it is
feared by many that Judge Lynch may
take charge Of him and his prostitute.
LATER-June 28-The trial of John
Carter before the Magistrates Court has
lasted three days, and was the most ex-
cited and sensational one ave- held in
Middle Tennessee. He was indicted for
murder in the first degree and bound
over to the Circuit Court which con-
venes next Monday. All through the
trial it vas difficult for those who were
in favor Of the law taking its course to
keep Carter from being lynched. Rope
was in the hands of some to carry out
the deed had the court failed to do its
duty, but 10Y the people are satisfied
that justice will be melted out to him,
and that he will soon dangle at the end
Of a rope. We will report to you the de-
cision Of the Circuit Court, but old men
say they never heard such positive evil
dence against any man before. He at.
tempted to prove an alibi, but did not
score a single point X.

T~ENNBSSBE'S CENTENNIAL.

All efforts to secure National and
State aid for Tennessee's Centennial
have been wholly unsuccessful. And
for very good reasons, too.
Tennessee is discredited in the eyes
of the Nation and the world. She is
dishonored by the triumph of a
mob. She is a wreck-dismantled
of her power and shorn of her pride
and glory. Pete Turney-the re-
ceiver of stolen goods, and seventy
n members of the Legislature who
stole the goods-are responsible for
the shame.
The poor thief ridden State must
depend solely on the liberality of her
weather. citizens and the unselfsh
patriotism of her common classes for
anything like a decent exhibit at
Nashville next year.
A State that will sink low enough
in degradation as to tolerate such a
fostering stinkp poi of political corrup-
ton as Peter Turney, and such a
conspiracy of political thieves asfoist-
ed him upon the people, deserves no
higher estimate and no better fate.
As the matter now stands and will
stand then, the centennial will only

protection. Every one of this vast
army of workers is directly affected
by the tariff. The higherthe product
of their labor, the better their wages,
and the more money they have to
pay for clothes, books, newspapers,
education and the comforts and con-
~veniences Of life. Money is abund-
ant and everybody shares in the
harvest. The means are in hand to
establish schools, build churches and
railroads and to carry forward all
the grand enterprises of civilization.
Protection is the genius of activity
that stirs and quickens every depart
ment of trade, reaping handsome
profits at let live prices. Every since
the free trade propaganda of Mr..
Cleveland, every form of business,
no matter how staid and we'll in
trenched, has experiencedth the wrench
and twist of the hard times and suf-
fered heavy loss, simply because the
workingmen were thrown out Of
employment and doled out their
savings only as strong necessity
compelled.
The bitter experiences of the last
few years will have an incalculable
influence for good. We are a nation
OF busy t%oilers, increasing in num-
bers every year, and the sufferings
and ~distresses, which have made
Cleveland's Administration a grue.
some chapter in the history of the
Republic, have demonstrated beyond
cavil that We a not safely adopt
any measure that cheapens the ways
of labor by bringing the price of its
product down to a low level with
excessive foreign competition. The
only hope of the future is the i'm.
provement of our industrial condition
and this can only be effected by
stimulating the demand for Ameri.
can products. This is reason enough
why every patriot should early,
earnestly and persistly support a
protective tariff.

Evidently q Swindler.

About two weeks ago a nice appearing
man, calling himself Prof. Hilliard, of
Washington, d. c., arrived in town and
engaged board at Andrew Broyles'. His
business was selling s~pectacles, which
he pursued quite diligently. He engaged
a horse and buggy Of u liveryman, G.
f. Squibb, for which he settled in part,
but left Mr.. Broyles in the lurch, not
paying him anything at all. He is a
slick one, and il this notice meets the
eye of any in his new field of operations
we trust it may be q warning. He left
here on the west bound train that passes
here at about midnight, and is no doubt
by this time plying his trade in nc dis
tant part of the State.

Atlanta, Ga, June "a special to the
Constitution from H~ardaway, Ga, states
that Henry Jasper, an eleven year old
negro boy, has just killed his second vie
tim. He had been hired by his uncle To
watch a child while it's parents were at
work in the field. Becoming tired of the
job, the boy shot the child dead with a
pistol and fled. His uncle and aunt did
not discover the murder until they re-
turned from the field at night. The boy
has not been seen since he fled. The
child was the second victim. He seems
to have a mania for killing infants.

Jail delivery and an attempted murder
of Deputy Sheriff Hinton, took place in

er named Sims was jailed at Charlotte
last night for a horrible crime. While
working in his cotton patch in Mecklen-

a boy who had thrown a rock at him.
Sims then shot his wife twice, killing
her instantly. The husband left his wife
in the field weltering in her blood and
gave himself up to the authorities. He
says he knew he would be hung for
shooting the boy, and could not bear the
idea OF being separated from his wife.
Sims crime has created a sensation.

PROTECTION is THE REMEDY.

If W. r permitted to form con-
illusions from the indications of
Providence, this country was created
and furnished especially forth high
est development of man and for the
perfecting of the best forms of gov
eminent. Except those intervals
when Democratic tinkering with the
tariff has produced industrial pros
t%ration, it has been a paradise for
those who wrought with hand and
brain.
Consequently we are a nation of
workers. The time is in the past,
if it ever did exist, when the CRIME
of the workshops and the dust of
the field were considered badges of
degradation. Labor is honored, par
ticularly in those States where the
people have reached a general con
dition of elegant comfort and indie
pendence by honest and unremitting
industry. And all the time, the
multiplying appliances of labor saw
ing machinery has been elevating
manual avocations above mental
drudgery.
We have a matchless climate, a
most generous soil, forests of all
kinds of wood whose immensely be-
wilders human Imagination, noun
tains piled upon mountains filled
with the most valuable ores, majestic
rivers, ''unsalted' inland seas, the
enduring institutions of civil and re-
ligious freedom, and q sturdy, aspir
ing and God fearing population.
The wonder ceases that no other
land beneath the smile of the sun
can afford q comparison with our
own in the eager and intense activi-
ties that secure the present and
make the future still richer and
more resplendent.
Notwithstanding all these facts
the labor statistics of the census
taken five years ago are a surprising
revelation. According to the bull.
letin recently issued, there were in
the United States at that time, out
of a population of sixty millions,
near twenty three millions of persons
of both sexes constantly employed.
1t is fitting to observe right here
that never in the history of mankind
were wages so high and never was
there such an equal distribution of
contentment, comfort and prosperity.
The Republican doctrine of protec-
lection to every American industry,
instead of sending our money abroad
to purchase the product of the pauper
labor of Europe, was in full swing.
The melancholy contrast between
the piping and prosperous times
when Republican thought and policy
were intthe ascendent and the fnan-
cial distress and the enforced idle
ness of all wage earners under the
present Administration is conclusive
proof, even to tue ignorant and
simple minded, not only of the wis
dom, but of the actual necessity of

For weeks Republican papers have
been loudly and boldly predicting that
the convention of Republican league
clubs at Cleveland, o., would settle for
that party the financial issue; would
say with clearness and emphasis what
the party should do with this issue /;
would in no uncertain way and with no
straddling declare and mark out the
policy the party should advocate as to
the silver question and would call upon
the faithful to fall into line.-Nashville
American.
The above is simply a lie, manu-
featured out of whole cloth, and the
American furnished the cloth. No
Republican papers have cloudy" or
otherwise predicted that 'the con-
%vention of Republican League clubs
would settle for that party the fnan-
cial issue" In the first place the
League is forbidden by its constitu-
ton to do anything of the kind, and,
secondly, there is no question as to
the policy of the Republican party
on the financial question. The party
has the same policy now it has ever
had, and as it is the one and only
party which has ever given to the
country a safe and satisfactory cur
rency, it may he trusted to carry out
its own designs with reference to the
silver question, no matter how
much it may disappoint the enemy.
