HARD AT WORK.

Hon. w. p. Brownlow as a member
of the Republican National Committee
has been hard at work for weeks in
connection with the State Executive
Committee, getting things in shape for
a thorough, active, and aggressive State
campaign. Mr.. Brownlow has dis
played in this matter his usual un-
selfishness. Nominated as he was for
Congress most men would have let all
other interests pass and turned their
entire attention to their own contest.
Especially would this be true under
similar circumstances with most men,
for while Mr.. Brownlw has been SO
earnestly at work in the interest of the
party in the State men who want to
parade themselves as ''simon pure''
Republicans have been just as indus.
triously at work trying to disorganize,
and pull to pieces the Republican party
of the First Congressional Districtin or
der to defeat Mr.. Brownlow, They have
tried many plans, perhaps all the
plans they could evolve, including at
tempted collision with Democracy to
bring about the defeat of the party,
and some of them are still endeavoring
to keep up the fight. Many false and
damaging reports have been foisted on
the people against Mr.. Brownlow and
others from the same source may be
looked for. One of their choicest efforts
has been to charge Mr.. Brownlow with
favoring the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and even after he has
spoken in a dignified, manly way
clearly defining his position on that
subject these same fellows are disposed
to still try to put him in a false atti-
tude before the people. Such political
demagoguery if continued can only re-
suit in the final overthrow of the Re.
publican party.
w. P. Brownlow has been an active
working and influential Republican
since his first vote was cast, and has
labored zealously for the success of
Republicanism year after year, just as
he is doing now, and it is nothing short
of a shame for him to be slandered and
abused at the hands of men who have
heretofore received his support and
assistance.
Brownlow has never sulked nor
hesitated in rendering the best service
of which he was capable to the Repub'
licau tickets after they were made.
and if some of the gentlemen who are
fighting him had spent as much time
in trying to build up, strengthen, and
keep together the Republican party as
they have in kicking owe matter:
personal to themselves the party would
have been far stronger than it is. Gen
tlemen if you are Republicans is it moi
time you were proving your faith by
standing like men with Mr.. Brownlow
and all others of the faith you claim

ing election. East Tennessee News.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Missouri city, Tex, sept. 9, 1896.

Missouri City, Tex, Sept. ., 1896.
The cotton gins are humming and as
we pass by the cotton fields we see the
pickers gathering the snow white fleecy
staple from the open bulbs and putting
it into the long sacks they drag behind
them, all the way from one 10 three
yards long. If some of you from the
hills of old East Tennessee could see
them it would be quite a curiosity but
the poor cotton picker well earns every
cen he gets for picking cotton at from
forty to fifty cents per one hundred
pounds. I've been there and that's why

hills are from four feet across up; some
few of them are large enough to set a
house on and are elevated perhaps one
foot above the level of the prairie and
are almost pure sand. Some haul sand
from them and put it around their
house and yard to elevate it a little
above the land and also to keep the mud
from sticking so bad. Well, | am not in
the habit of poking fun at the ladies,
but must say a little about them. l
