MURDER WILL OUT.
Frank Johnson Said 10 Have Confessed
to Austin Rye'S Murder,
Aud duplicates n White Man by the Name
OF Milton Robinson-Both Under
Arrest-Trial To-day.

A negro by the name of Frank
Johnson, and a white man by the
name of Milton Robinson, are under
arrest charged with the murder of
Austin Rye, the negro who was
found or West Seventh Street about
two weeks ago with his head split
open.
The negro Johnson was raised
about the Rally Hill neighborhood.
He is rather a rowing individual,
without any special home, and is
said to be bad character generally.
For day or two before the murder
he was in and about town here, and
spent the night at the house where
the ak is said to belong. This house,
we understand, is occupied by a
negro woman who lives Just the
other side of the M. d. King place
on the Hampshire pike, about a
half-mile from the corporation.
Johnson is said to have confessed
the killing to two or three other
negroes, but as the clear-headed au-
thorities are rather chary of their
information before the trial comes
off, We can not learn the details. 1t
is known, however, that in his con-
fessi0n he duplicates the white man
Milton Robinson. Robinson also
lives in tho Rally Hill neighborhood,
but, as coincidence, if nothing
else, at the time of the killing he
was in town and had been for sew
eral days, and was living out on the
same Hampshire pike with some
one just opposite the Arsenal and
about 500 yards down the pike from
where Johnson was staying.
Officers Latta and Roberts started
on red hot chase for the negro
Johnson, who had skipped out, and
followed him to within two miles of
Franklin, then to College Grove.
Taking up the trail from this point,
policeman Latta and Deputy Sheriff
Doc Grove came upon the negro in
Rutherford County last Tuesday,
near Will Bailey's farm, where they
were threshing wheat. The negro
did not resist arrest, nor did he
make any inquiries as to the charge
against him. He submitted quietly
and in utter silence, and was brought
on to town and locked up.
Deputy Sheriff Grove, who lives
in the Goth district at Rally Hill,
had already, on Saturday, arrested
the white man, Milton Robinson.
Robinson protests his innocence.
Their trials will come off this morn
ing before E. E. Erwin, at the Re-
cOrder's Office.
The negro John Warren, who was
arrested last week on suspicion, was
released last Friday without trial !;
those in charge of the prosecution,
after investigating the case, finding
no discriminating circumstances JUS
tifying longer detention.

WHITTHORNE OR cox?
The Primary for the Seventh District
Still in Doubt.
Both Sides Are Saving Wood and Say
ing NOthing-PrOspeets Are for AN
Old-Time Red Hot COnVCn-
tiOn-MaUry's Dele gates.

The WhitthOrne-COx contest for
Congress in this district has been
red hot, and since the battle of the
ballots last Thursday, both sides are
claiming the victory. and both sides
are organizing their forces with
astute activity for final hOstilities
next Tuesday in convention assem-
bled at Columbia. Every individu-
al who is interested in the result has
his pencil and paper figuring first on
this basis and then on that, but the
shrewd managers of the respective
candidates keep their figures as well
as their purposes in their heads,
smile, saw wood and say nothing,
except that their own particular
champion has undoubtedly won the
nomination.
According to the basis of 1892
there will be 1875 votes in the con-
ventiOn, distributed among the
counties composing this Congress
sional District as follows: Maury,
30; Giles, q; Dickson, ~; Lewis, 2;
Hickman, II; Lawrence u; Will
hanson, 20; Wayne, Z. or these
Whitthorne claims 66 and allows
Cox 80. Cox on the other hand
claims 70 to Whitthorne's 90. So
that it can be seen that there is a
wide margin to fight over. On this
basis Dickson and Giles will proba-
bly, give something more than their
majorities to Whitthorne. In
Maury, as will be seen below, from
the districts which have reported
Whitthorne gets all but six districts,
which will probably amount to four
and one half votes in the conven-
ton. Lewis will divide her two
votes. The storm clouds gathering
over Hickman, indicate that this
county will be the storm centre. In
three districts no election was held,
while in Centreville contest of the
liveliest variety is on. On the face
of the returns Cox has l03 to Whit
tborne's SO. But Whitthorne claims
that the votes in the primary box
only amounted to 1879, and that of
these be received SO and Cox re-
ceived 81, and that after this box
was counted some one discovered
some Cox votes in the regular cleo
tiOn box and these were added by
the judges to COx's vote, and there's
the rub.
Lawrence will not preponderate
much either way, while Williamson
will give 10 of her 20 votes to Cox,
and Wayne is counted for Cox.
No man who is not strictly on the
inside with one or the other party,
knows anything about what is going
on. But the political maneuvering
which is patent to the ordinary OBJ
server, indicates ringing, red hot,
Kilkenny convention.
Even the districts in Maury
County have not all reported. The
18th district has two voting pre-
cincts, Mt. Pleasant and Massey's
Shop. While Massey's Shop went
for Cox by II to IL, we understand
that the M. Pleasant precinct went
by an overwhelming majority fol
Whitthorne, which will put the 18th
district in the Whitthorne column
The returns from the 18th and 18th
districts have not been sent in.
The following is a list of the votes
and the names of the delegates sc
| far sent in:

TIE AGE OF LOVE.

Mature Woman Now Rules in Place of
the Bud.
Women marry later in life than
they used to; maidens who have
passed their thirtieth year may now
claim that they represent the most
perfect and advanced type of
maidenhood, and look down upon
girls who marryi before twenty-five
as very much more akin to savages
for it is a well-known fact that the
age of marriage advances with civili-
zation. Everywhere the more ma
ture women is to the fore. The
young and inexperienced bud has
ceased to be the relgning queen of
the hour. She has been forced to
yield her place to the maturer wo-
man, the woman of cultivated mind
and manners, of broader experience
and wider knowledge. The tastes
of men in this regard seem to have
undergone complete revolution,
and instead of fluttering about the
inexperienced girl, talking pretty
nothings, they are matching their
experiences, broadening their hori-
Kon, sharpening their wits in clever
conversation with some brilliant
and beautiful woman. And as the
literature always reflects the times
the girl of sixteen as adOred by
Shakespeare, Byron, Moliere
Voltaire and Scott, is no more to be-
found. Formerly, the woman be.
tween thirty and forty years of age
was lost for passion, for romance
for the drama; now she rules alone

Tending Balzac, says: us it Bal
zac's fault that the age of thirty to-
day is the age of love? Balzac i,

he finds it."-Exchange.
