ANOTHER WEEK OF TELLING
WORK,

Brownlow spent last week canvassing
Unicoi with Milburn. They had good
crowds at Erwin, Flag Pond and Unicoi
City. The mountain boys were thor
oughly aroused and Brownlow's friends
are satisfied with the result. Milburn
imported some of his strongest friends
from other counties who "arguefied"
with the people long, early and late, but
they made no impression and aroused
no enthusiasm. The voters, after the dis
cussion, were not backward in express
ing their decided preference for the 'un-
educated man." The situation in Unicoi
is cheering for "the Brownlow gang of
court house bosses" who are the people.

says: Edward Belz, 60 years
old, made a bet with W. H. Vail
that if Mckinley was elected he
would permit himself to be
drenched with a FIRE hose for ten
minutes. The bet was paid
Saturday night in front Of Belz's
house, in the presence of 1000
spectators. The water was cold
and little fiurries of snow were
in the air. When the stream
was turned on it struck Belz full
in the chest and carried him
down the street several feet.
Occasionally he would turn
his back to the stream in order
TO catch his breath, aud at such
times would cheer feebly fol
Bryan. At the end of sever
minutes DIR c. A. Farpswortt

Late advices from Toxic state
that terrible accounts are COM

Mohammedan rebellion in Kan

China. 1t is estimated that TO-
900 Mohammedans, chiefly woe
men, children and old men, have
died of hunger, or been frozen
to death in the hills end mounc
tains.
Those who have submitted
number $4,000, women and chile
dren for the most part. Thirty
or forty thousand remained un
der arms in the hills in the
southeastern district IN the mid
die summer.
The business of beheading the
insurgents was conducted with
wholesale yigor SO soon as Their
strength had been broken in any
district. An average of 1,60(
had been decapitated for two
weeks in Sizing on June 10th
and as three thousand heads re
named to come off, the san

to go on for an indefinite time
longer. Crowds of people
watched the executions, and i

from such prolonged intimac.
