Our ueighbors at South Pi5tsburg arc
in controversy over their represents
tiVes at the meeting OF the tennessee
press association, yet all three OF the
papers are represented by persons who
are in nOwiso connected with the pa
pers. In looking over the list OF the
rest of tho state we find that no less
than twenty papers are represented by
people who never wrote a personal,
much less edited a paper We also re-
member that at the meeting of tho Ala
bama press association We met people
whom we had never heard OF although
we had been reading the papers they
represented for years. The truth Of tho
matter is, that they were not and are
not newspaper people, and had no busl-
ness at q meeting Of the association.
This thing Of allowing anybody and ev-
erybody to attend the meetings OF the
association must stop some time and
why not stop it now. At the next
meeting of tho association Transports
ton should not be issued to anyone
whose name does not appear at the mast
head of the paper, then the meetings
will be attended by newspaper people
and will bring good results. bridge

Time and again we have been
asked to Join the Tennessee press

done so had we believed it repre-

But as Bro. Conway says, it doe

of The matterIs this. The aclua

consequently when you read Of

best remedy to get rid OF a bad law

We believe all should bear their

is politics, and then her people

FACTS ABOUT THE SOUTH.

Some years ago Mr.. r. II. Eds
mOnds of the Manufacturers Rec
ord got out pamphlet entitled
Facts About the South" which
was widely circulated and read. 1t
contained a fund of information,
Obtainable in no other way. Res
Gently he has revised and brought
the subject matter down 10 date,
and copy now lies before US.
The facts are presented in a terse
and readable form and show in the
items OF coal a great advance. The
production Of coal in 1880 in the
States of Alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee was 1,073747 tons. In
1897 the output of the three states
was 8.84327l tons, 5,868,471 tons
of which was furnished by Ala
bama alone. But West Virginia
takes the lead in coal output in
creasing from 1 ,839, 845 tons in 1880
to 100000 tons in 1897.
The production ofiron for these
same states was in 1880, 1884
tons; in 1877, 1,237O53 tons, Ala
bama leading with 747831 tons,
Perhaps the most astonishing lne
crease is shown in cotton mills.
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina had in 1880
119 cotton mills. In 1897 the same
states had 1888 mills. Tennessee in
1880 had Is mills; in 1897, %, But
strictly speaking Tennessee is not
in it when it comes to cotton mills
coal mining, or iron making like
her neighbor, Alabama. We ask
the reason why and the answer
comes. want of enterprise on the
part of her citizens, too much
conservatism and old foggyism
Truly we want more business anC
less politics.
Coming TO local matters there il
no section Of the South where thr
. application Of practical farming
has produced such good results a
right here in the Sequachee VALLEY
In 1890 the total area of whea
planted in Marion county was 52j
acres, yielding 4,499 bushels, aver
less than nine bushels per acre
This year from a less acreage 10,
600 bushels have been obtained
with an average of Is bushels pc

and it pays. This only estimate

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.

Mary LuxtOn in the Criminal Dock
at Grand Forks.
Grand Forks, n. D.-Miss Mary LUX
ton was placed on trial in the district
court On the charge Of numbering Ole
Halvorson, q clerk employed in the
store of Bemis & Gallagher at Inkster
on Nov. %. Miss LuXtOn was accom-
panied by several relatives and seems
to have entirely recovered from the
ervou prcstration from which sll"
suffered for n week or more.
1t is probable that n plea Of tenn
porary insanity will be pressed. and
on some accounts the probabilities in
such u plea are good. The general
sentiment is against any extreme pen
atty. :
The two had been lovers for several
years and had become betrothed. Both
lived at Hope, i'll Steele county, and
a few months ago Halvorsen went to
1nkstcr. After that he went to May
Vile by appointment and met Miss
LuXtOn. AMI While there, it is claimed.
he told her that it would be Impossible
for him to keep his promise and marry
her. She insisted on the fultilllnent OF
his promise. but refused to agree 20 a
p%ostponclncnt or the wedding. which
was set for Oct. /. When he returned
home Halvorsen wrote to Miss Lux
ton, telling her that he was firm in
lis refusal to marry her. 4 few weeks
after this Miss !.uXton visited 1nlistcr
and urged Halvorsen to keep his pro-
mise, but he refus cd. Later she Went
to Inkster and secured employment

of the 9th Of November she went to
the store where he was employed and
had a talk with him.
The interview lasted some time, and
finally Halvorsen told the young lady
to go away and not bother him, at the
same time making a start to go to an
other part OF the store. She thea shot
him. AS soon as the shot vas fired
she placed the revolver to her W
temple, but before she could pull the
trigger Haivorsen caught the weapon
ana it fell to the floor. Tho wounded
man and his assai!ant struggled for the
possession of the revolver until the
proprietor OF the store arrived. 1t was
socn evident Halvorsen's wound would
prove fatal, and before Miss LuXton
was removed to the county Jail she
bid good bye to her former lover. The
parting was an affecting one.
Before his death, which occurred the
next night, Halvorsen made n state
mcnt in which he stated that Miss
L.uXton was not to blame for the shoot
ing that it ~ all his wv fault, his
refusal to keep his promise Of mar
rage making her desperate.
Before doing the awful deed Miss
LuXton wrote Il letter TO her sister,
Mrs. Morgan of Steele county. in
which she rccited her wrongs, and in
another one she directed what was to
be be done With her body after death.
1t is believed by those who knew her
at Inkstcr that she intended to kill
herself in the presence of her lover,
but at the last moment changed her
mind and concluded to kill both OF
