County Court IIOings.

The county court convened at Jones'
boro last Monday in its regular October
term. The principal business of the
meeting was the purchasing of tract
Of land, containing fifty acres, three
miles south of Jonesboro, for 81, 900, to
be used as the county farm, or poor
house, The present farm will be sold
and the proceeds used to erect suitable
buildings for the unfortunate of our
county. The justices also contracted
with the F. G. Austin Manufacturing
Company, of Chicago, ILL.,, for a rock
crusher and engine which are to be de-
livered at once. This is filling long
felt want of the citizens of the county
and it is to be hoped that in a short
period our roads will equal the best in
tbs State.

Old Liberty hell.

As previously announced the old lib
erty bell passed through johnson City
last Sunday enroute to Atlanta,
It arrived in this city at 1850 p M,
and only remained ten minutes, instead
Of twenty-five minutes. as advertised
This was scarcely sufficient time to en-
able the large crowd assembled to wit
ness the greatest American relic. 1t is
estimated that fully six thousand peo-
pie had gathered in and around public
square to see the old bell. 1t was the
intention of the committee on arrange
ments to have the crowd march by the
car headed by the school children. but,
thanks to Capt. Huger, the short stop
here would not permit this part OF the
program to be carried out, and in con
sequence large number of children
did not get even glimpse of the bell
A pretty incident of the occasion was
the seating of Col. Matsons little
daughter upon the bell. She looked a
little queen and seemed to realize the
significance of the occasion. When she
was lifted down our Watauga poet,
II. H. Hyder, remarked that she was a
little poem, whereupon the little FIVE
year-old tot said, "No sir, Use only
title dirl."
Speaking Of the welcome given the
bell in this city, the Bristol Courier
said:
johnson City was the first stop after
leaving Bristol No one was anticipat-
ing anything like great ovation, but
in this they were deceived. As the train
slowed up a magnificent audience came
into full view. The large square 'front.'
ing on the railroad was packed with
people, and along the front beautiful
banners with sacred and patriotic in
scriptions heralded the generous well
come which followed.
So great was the demonstration that
the custodians of the bell were sur
prised and delighted beyond measure

mis- accusation. But gambling is one of
those offences of which the puolic take a
very lenient view. Stripped of it's gross
ness it loses not only half it's evil, but
the whole of it in the estimation of a
good many people and not very bad people
either. Welhave seen very good women
sell lottery tickets at church fairs and
very good men buy them. We have seen
a good many schemes, which were vir-
tually gambling, clothed in the garb of
charity, until the public not only toler-
ated them but condemned the persons
who found fault with them as fnical and
straitlaced. Much of the so-called bust
ness by which great fortunes are made is
essentially gambling, but we have yet to
hear of any religious or educational in
stitution that has rejected a bequest be-
cause the estate from which it came was
tainted with chance. Where there is
an overw helming public sentiment
against any practice, it is pretty safe to
infer that the legislator who aids it with
his vote has received some direct personal
benefit for so doing, for a man likes
the approval of his fellow men and will
not de liberately forfeit it unless he ex-
poets some compensation. But against
gambling in many of it's fashion
able forms there does not exist
that Overwhelming sentiment, so
one of the essentials for such an infer
ence as the Rev. Mr.. Mason drew was
absent. Mr.. Mason was too hasty in his
conclusion. The act which he condemned
no doubt merited condemnation Of the
strongest kind, but there was not neces-
sarily any venality attaching to it, and
until he had come into possession of some
evidence that pointed in that direction he
should have Withheld that charge His
excess of zeal has given .the..legislators an
advantage. 1t has enabled them to put
him on trial, and thus divert attention
from themselves.

The Rev. Mr.. Mason who appeared

of wholesale bribery, not against one but

OF which measure was the occasion of

THE SILVER COME lNE,
One Explanation of the Vigor of the Free
Coinage Campaign.

Chicago Special to the Philadelphia
Press
A combination of western mine owners
and their moneyed allies in Philadelphia
and New York is carrying between $780,
600, 600 and $50, 900, 600 of silver bullion.
1t has about $40, 900, 600 of it's own in the
pool, and is borrowing the rest in New
cities where capital is available on silver
collateral The pool can borrow on silver
close up to the public quotations, though
it is not obliged to do SO, having a large
surplus of its own. but it nevertheless
finds the deal costly one. The interest
rate of nearly 81, 600, 900, and they are get
ting larger, for production has not
stopped, and the combination is making
market for the output of the mines by
taking the bullion and storing it. The
combination is playing desperately and
courageously for splendid stake. If it
can force this government into free coin
ge 1t stands to make anywh ere from $50, :
900, 900 to $75, 600, 600, depending on the
time, the amount of bullion it will have
handled and other circumstances and
conditions now largely speculative.
People has wondered at the persever-
ance and the force in the free silver cam
paign. They have marveled at the energy
displayed by the apostles of silver, their
ability to cover territory and the unfail-
ing regularity with which the leaders
turn up during the thick of the fight
Most of the takers of note are poor
men, yet they travel in palace cars, put
up at the best hotels, take long jumps
and are here, there and everywhere, mar
shaling the forces, enfusing enthusiasm
into the masses and keeping up interest
by every known artifice Now it is as
serted that the silver combine is paying
the bill. The silver campaign is inspired
by the silver conspirators, and is as bust
nesslike an enterprise as ever was a
wheat, pork or stock corner. 1t is sordid
from the ground up, but so cleverly have
the conspirators kept themselves in the
background that the truth is only begin
ming to appear. Even now many of the
details are lacking, but the main fact is
known
The mass of silver bullion has been &C
quired by the combination under 70 cents
per ounce. If the campaign now on foot
can be carried to a successful issue the
holders hope to be able to unload at ST. 90
and above By keeping up the agitation
they imagine that within two years they
will secure such legislation as they need,
either by international agreement or by
independent action by this country
