Late Sunday evening two men were
discovered in the yard of the Presby-

sum OF $4,000 per annum from the GenefAl

Poetic Mind Of Soldier Recalls Natures
Beauties After 33 Years.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After the
BATTLES of Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge, considerable force of mounted men,
under the command Of Col. Long, were on duty
in Tennessee. A rebel wagon-train failing
to connect with its retreating army, had
started on q new route for escape over the
mountains iutO North Carolina AS soon as
this fact became known to the Unisn forces,
Col. Long was ordered 10 pursue, and, if pos
sble, capture the train. 1t was my fortune
to accompany his expedition.
At TellicO Plains We found ourselves on
Dec. 8, 1863 Here we fed our horses and
took dinner. The weather was Geld and we
suffered not little. We started for the
base of the Great Smoky Mountains, and at
once began the ascent. Slowly and yet
steadily we moved up the mountain-side,
now through deep gorges, now pursuing our
course along the side of the mountain now
nearing the edge of declivities where the
head grew dizzy as the eye surveyed the
distance below. The foliage of the laurel
and evergreens indicated Midsummer, and
contrasted strangely with the snow that we
encountered at a higher elevation. It was
blending Of the green hues Of Summer with
the white garb Of Winter.
Up and up we made our way over the
mountain road. We were 10 miles from
Teilic0 Plains. We had seen no habitatiOn,
nor inhabitant of the mountain. Once, at q
hight to one side of the road, we saw lone
deer, the only representative Of the animal
creation that we CHANGED to meet or see. We
were yet some distance from the summit.
A cold. drizzling rain began to fall and
freeze as it fell. Our command halted as
the shades of night came on, and we went
into camp.
was so benumbed with the cold that
dismounted from my horse by sliding down
his side. Soon we had roaring fires made
from the pine wood, and in short time
were refreshed with the usual cup of hot
coffee and bard bread. The dense pine trees
afforded US canopy, and the burning pine
logs contributed to our warmth.
On the following morning our command
was in read n .ss for the march before it was
quite light A dense fog contributed to the
surrounding gloom. We reached the sum-
nit Of the mountain in time to welcome the
sun as it rose along the top of neighbor-
ing peak. We were now above the clouds
and fog, and the view that met our bewil-
dered gaze is Undesirable.
As each soldier emerged from the gloom
of the fog and came into the region of light
| and sunshine, an exclamation of surprise
escaped his lips Above us was an ocean of
sunlight, while beneath us misty sea of
darkness. The expanse Of fog and clouds,
the bright sunshine, and, oyer-arching all,
the bright, blue sky, were elements that
could not be painted; they must be seen to
be appreciated.
A popularity of this ridge of mountains is
the great number of peaks rising like sugar
loafs to nights of several hundred feet.
Many Of these we're covered with evergreen

Comrade Henry Clay Evans.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I read,
with much pleasure and satisfaction, the
biography of Comrade II. Clay Evans that
appeared in your excellent paper of Dec. g.
He is truly the representative of the New
South, and the leading papers throughout
the country that have, since the triumphant
election of Comrade Mckinley, SO favorably
mentioned him for Cabinet position, can
rest assured they are voicing the sentiment
Of original Mckinley people south Of Mason
and Dixon's line.
for the first time personally met Com
rade Evans when he spoke in this town in
1894 rs the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. Although favorably impressed with
him before that time, from that on loved
and admired him. You speak words of
truth when you say he is one Of the most
genial and agreeable of men, and you could
have we'll added to the sentence: Every
man, woman, and child in East Tennessee
admires and loves him." He is the idol of
Tennessee Republicans.
came here from Ohio with my family in
1872, and have been close observer of po-
litical events in the South ever since, and I
can say without fear Of contradiction that
the time is at hand when my Republican
brethren of the North can with pride and

united country. My sons, who are and
have been publishing the Lawrence Union,
the only Republican pdper of this Congress
sional District, for 10 years, strongly urged
Comrade Evans for theiVice- Presidency two
years before the assembling of the st. Louis
Convention, being about the first to bring
forth his name associating it at the same
time with that of Comrade Mckinley for
the Presidency. His defeat caused regret
to US and his admirings friends, but we view
with exultation the ufriendly expressions
now being made everywhere in asking his
elevation to Cabinet portfolio.
would be pleased to see my comrades in
all parts of the country write letters to Com
rade and Presidents, elect Mckinley urging
him to appoint Comrade Evans to the POST
master-G eneralship. There isn't man in
the United States better fitted for this posi-
ton, or man whose appointment would be
hailed with more satisfaction throughout
the entire South.

The Experiment Station . Success.

The first agricultural experiment station
in the world was established within the last
balf-century, a product of German thought
This station was established near to the city
of Leipsic, at little town named Mock
ern, by a number of intelligent farmers who
were anxious to make use Of the aid of sci
ence in conducting their farms. This was
in 1851, and since that time about 300 SINH
lar stations have been established in the
world, broader in their scope and wider in
their possibilities than the humble gather

projecting above the surface of the fog AS
the sun shone ods brighter upon the vast
expanse, it assumed the appearance OF an
immense silvery seastuHded with islands OF
emerald green. The rain Of the previous
night had formed Q coating of ice over por-
tions Of the foliage land twigs, and in the
bright rays of the rising sun it seemed trans
formed into myrihds of sparkling diamonds.
Some of the peaks had sides of steep, bar
rem rocks of variegated colors, and these lent
their treasure of gorgeous hues to enrich the
scene. Itseemeda as ifnature had determined
to give us mountainLtop panorama in order
to exhibit her wonderful resources. And
yet, doubtless, the same grand display is
shown hundreds of times with no mortal
eve as a spectator. No fairyland could have
excelled the wonderful scene we witnessed,
nor could the fabnlist invent description
that would compare with this natural ex-
hibition.
The stiffness of the region was remarkable.
Not bird chirped, nor zephyr disturbed
the repose of this wild scene. The "charms
of solitude" were here supreme, and our
command was the only profane invader. :
Since I saw this wonderful spectacle l
have witnessed many beautiful views from the
Allegheny and Rocky Mountains, but moth

that comprised this display. From the sum-

When Bourke Cochran exalted the
Importance In the social fabric OF the
men who toll he used common trick
OF argument to gain for his side the
apparent advantage OF the champion
ship Of labor.
But Mr.. Bryan in his RhinebccK
speech went as far. although in fewer
words. as Mr.. Cochran in pointing out
the Importance of the toilers as vital
factors in the well-being OF the whole
social organism. In doing so he merely
accepted a practical axiom OF politlcai
economy that the foundations OF all
prosperity rest upon the welfare OF the
men who dig and delye for the product
OF the soil and mine, who turn the raw
material into articles OF necessity and
use and who perform the task OF plae-
ing them where they are needed.
Agreeing, therefore. that the welfare
OF the producers is the vital concern OF
all, the question OF the campaign IS:
Which party offers the better hope OF
prosperity to the producers?
The chief enemies Of the toilers are
monopoly in all It's forms and unjust
| taxation. Monopoly may be represent

or to corner the products and thus reg
