The proposition of the Debs
Social Democracy to build rail
road seventy-fve miles long and
turn it over to the city of Nash
vile at nominal cost in order TO
give impetus to the doctrine of
the public ownership of trans
portation lines, is a very en-
phatic illustration of the faith Of
the Debsites in the doctrine itself
but it will be q tremendous un-
dertaking should it require the
building of many roads on such
terms before the doctrine takes a
firm root in the minds of the peo-
pie.
THE negro Sam Wright now
confined in Jail for the murder of
Mr.. W. A. Carr is now trying to
bring in another as the perpetra-
tor of this foul mprder-one Of
the most dastardly eyer commit
ted in the annals OF the State. 1t
is true this big burly negro is a
fend, but at the same time he is
negro of more than ordinary
intelligence-in fact, he is
shrewd, and he is no doubt trys
ing to concoct a plan 70 turn
States evidence and thus get
clear himself. But in this he will
sadly fail. From his own volun.
tary testimony before the Coro-
ner there is not a shadow OF
doubt of his guilt. Furthermore,
we believe he was the sole per-
petrator of that bloody murder,
But right here we desire to EN-.
phasize the fact, that there is no.
the shadow of a doubt that wher
the Superior Court meets mex
week, he will be tried, sentenced
and in a few days Thereafter
will be hung. Our people have
felt this way all along-lav
abiding people as they are, the.
would not take the law into thei.
own hands, but let the law taxi
its course. And the people dit
right. too. There are no bette
and braver men in the world thar
many of,sthe citizens of Forl
township, and they have acte'
nobly in this matter, After th
murder, they went to work COOL,
and deliberately to apprehent
the murderer, and when he ha'
been apprehended, bowing il
respect TO the majesty of the law
the great protector of US al
they have left the wretch IN tn
