John Hinkle and family, who few
months ago turned Mormon and went
to Utah, returned on Monday and
went to his old home in the country.
Before going West he entertained
Mormon elders, who feasted off his
good things, and induced him to sell
out and go to Utah. We understand
he returns almost penniless and is
disguised with Mormonism. We SYM
pathize with him, but he should have
had better sense than to allow him.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, Nov. 20. The
movement OF the First West Virginia
regiment from this city to Columbus,
Ca, was enjoined this afternoon after
the train had proceeded sixty miles tc
Sweetwater. 1t was learned that the
wives of twelve officers of the regi-
ment were on board and the conduc
tors sought to collect their fares. The
officers refused payment and the trains
were ordered stopped until the fares
were forthcoming 1t is notorious
fact that numerous wives of officers
have been carried on other regimental
trains leaving this city and the South
ern railway proposed to stop the prac-
tice.

An exchange suggest Byran and
Dewey as an excellent Presidential
ticket for the Democracy in 1900.
AS the hero of Manila is and has
ever been an ardent Republican,
it is quite safe to say he would
refuse a nomination from a
party with which he has never
affiliated. We believe Dewey is
great and good man, but if he
becomes candidate for the Pres
idency-or any other office, for
that matter he will soon learn,
according to the opposition press,
that he is one of the most infa-
nous scoundrels unhung.-Sugar

Men talk about "overproduc-
tion' in this country because big
cotton and food crops are selling
at low figure, when thousands
of the men who raise the cotton
are poorly clothed because money
is dear and hard to get. There is
not too much cotton or food for
the population, if only we had a
broader financial system under
which all the people could obtain
better reurns for their labor and
secure steady employment.

The republican U. S. District
Attorney, for South Carolina,
spent two entire days consulting
with the administration, upon
what should be done by the At

the race troubles in that state.
The District Attorney was not
enthuiastic over the probable sue
cess of the plan of trying to get
indictments against white men
for participating in riots, from q
Federal Grand Jury, which has
been adopted by the administra-
tion, but he will have to try it on,
if the administration insists; he
wishes to continue drawing his
