lunch in private room, and Dick
drank to his brides health and Doro-
thy drank to his, and Barbara drank
to them both, and then insisted that
the wine had got into her head.
And after that they parted for
short time, Dorothy and Barbara going
off to Morley's to fetch their luggage
and pay their bill, and meeting Dick
again with his belongings at Victoria
Station, where they parted in earnest
from Barbara, who was going to spend
the two months with various friends
and relations in or around London.
"And Barbara, this will keep you 60
ing till We get back" said Dick, slip
ping twenty pounds into her hand.
But, Mr.. Harris" cried Barbara,
feeling that there were four notes,
'9t's too much; shan't need it."
"Take 1t while you can get 1t, Bar
bara," he laughed; Il dare say we shall
be desperately hard up by the time we
get back again." and then the train
began to move, and he pushed her
hand back. Goodbye, you have the
address; Mrs. Harris will write every
week." and then the train had slipped
away beyond speaking distance.
"Poor old Barbara she cried.
Dick caught hold Of her hand. my
darling, have got you all to myself
at last" he murmured passlonately.
They were soon away from London
and off to Dover, for Dick had foreign
leave. and they had agreed to spend
the next two months by the sunny
shores of the Mediterranean.

was very happy indeed.
During this time their banns were
published in one Of the churches at
Bournemouth and also in a London
church, in the parish Of which Dick

THE ADDRESS.


"The fusion movement contaminated
at st. Louis in July, 1896, and the in
excusable treatment of our candidate
for vice-president in the campaign that
followed, gave rise 10 such dissatisfac-
tion among the rank and file of the
peoples party as to threaten the abso-
Lutte dismemberment of the only politi-
cal organization honestly contending
for the social and political rights of the
laboring and producing classes of the
country.
ut has been the purpose always of
the committee to be courteous to the
national committee and our supreme
desire has been at all times to promote
a harmonious cooperation with said
committee that factional differences
might be obliterated, our party pres
tige regained and our organizat ton re-
stored to its once splendid estate. This
committee feels confident OF It's ability
70 show that it is no fault of ours
that the national committee is not
present as body to-day, but it does
not choose to waste valuable time in
wrangling over questions of official
etiquette. We avow it to be our sim
cere purpose, now as ever heretofore,
to promote every honorable movement
on the true populist lines, and we
deem the issue too momentons and
the dangers threatening free govern
ment too imminent to allow us to
pause to consider personal grievances
or affronts or to permit wounded dig
nifty, real or imaginary, to overshadow
patriotic duty.
"Under present conditions our be-
loved organization is slowly but surely
disintergrating and our comrades are
clamoring for aggressive action.
Having in vain importuned those
who assumed to be our superiors to
permit us to aid them in the grand
work Of recognizing the peoples par
~, that It may accomplish its glorious
mission, we now appeal to the people,
the source Of all political power"

Negro Child Burned to Death.

The eight-months-old child of Eli
"a Fields, colored, who lives at the
cabin near the Town spring, in this
place, was burned to death Thurs
day evening of last week between 5
and o clock.
Eliza left the house and went over
to a neighbours to buy a load of
wood, she says, leaving her baby in
the house with another child, a boy
about three years old Eliza says
she left only small amount of fire
in the Fireplace. but she thinks the
fire popped out and set the child s
clothing on fire. There happened
to be some people passing and the
other child ran out and told them
about the baby IS dress being on
fire. Several colored people went
to the house, but the fire had done
its work by the time they reached
there. Aaron Dewitt, who we M
derstand put out the fire, thinks
that the child must have drawn the
flames down its throat, as its body
only slightly the evidence Of fire,
though its clothes were burned off
The child lived only very
few moments after Dewitt put out
she fire. H.

THE EXTRA SESSION.


The general assembly of Tennes-
see met Monday at noon and was
called to order by the respective
speakers of the two houses. There
was little business transacted at the
first session, the formal opening, in
PRODUCTION of a few resolutions and
the reading of Gov. Taylor's mes
sage occupying the time of the ses-
sion. The message contained about
5000 words and made some refer
ence to all the subjects embraced in
the call, but the principal part OF
the space was devoted to the con-
sideration of the matter of railroad
assessment and taxation and recon-
mending that legislative action be
taken to enforce collection of take s
from these corporations, also tele-
phone and telegraph companies.
The message reviews the question
at length and the facts leading up
to theTaise IN assessment. The ar
baignment of Judge Clark in partic-
sIlar and through him the Federal
court was very severe. The prob
lem is one that will tax the capacity
of the wisest and most patriotic
members of the general assembly to
adjust. The feeling over the con
tention is evidenced by the govern
or's message, which, while it coun-
sells moderation, his discourse about
invasion of the State rights and
the danger that threatens State SOW
ereignty is not calculated to promote
that much desired judicial impair
TALLY in dealing with the question.
The legislature is unquestionably
circumScribed by constitutional re-
strictions. The abuse of the courts
for constituting the law strictly is as
vicious as the resistance of these
corporations is represented to be.
The State finds itself in a hard
place and wants to raise money and
the corporations resist, just as an
individual does who sees an oppOr-
tunity to escape the burdens of gov
eminent. 1t is not very patriotic,
but foreign corporations are not
supposed to be bubbling over with
that commodity. The duty of the
Legislature is to frame a cOnStitu-
tiOnal law that compels payment.
If the representative in the assem-
bly are incompetent to do this, these
corporations will not pay the tax
and the courts will not force col
lections. Incompetency of public
servants is a poor excuse for abuse
of the courts. Advocates of a con
stitutienal convention were told
that the present constitution made
ample provision for dealing with all
questions. If this is true, nothing
can prevent just and equitable leg
islatlon except incompetency or cor
ruption. The dominant party in
the State can't avoid responsibility.
A wise and equitable adjustment
will stamp the present assembly as
both intelligent and patriotic.

Nice Cottage for Sale.

Jackson African Limbless Cotton Seed
Co. Richard Sanford, Agt, C0vingtOn,
Tenn. Report of the Interstate Cot
ton Growers Association on the Jack
son African Linn bless Cotton. that
met in Atlanta, Ga. Dec. ID, 1897.
We. the undersigned Committee, APP
pointed by the Interstate Cotton Grow
ers Association, held at Atlanta, Ca.
December 18th, 1897, to investigate and
report on the Jackson Limbless Cot
ton, beg leave to submit the following
report: After thorough and careful
examination and Investigation made
of the cotton in the field, which we
visited in person, and carefully look
ing lrto the matter, we unhesitatingly
pronounce it the best variety of cotton
ever grown in the South From what
the Committee learned from a CONVEX
satl0n with Mr.. Jackson. It seems that
the cotton. with careful cultivation.
will yield three bales per acre easily.
and the evidence OF such fact has pre-
sented itself to US after said investiga-
ton. The cotton itself is absolutely
without limbs, the bolls maturing on
little prongs two or three inches long,
known as afruit spur with no other
limbs: there being from two to Eve
bolls on each spur. The stalks In the
field, examined by us, arc from four
to ten feet tall, according to the fertil-
ity of the soil, as fruited from the
ground up. We found on a great
many stalks, bolls which contain five
and six pods. which we consider yerv5
unusual, the size of the bolls being
very fine average; the lint and staple
being fine and silky, an average of
one to one and half inches. Tt Is the
opinion of your Committee that no
cotton of this variety mas ever been
grown In the South before, and is OF
superior quality to anything we have
ever seen grown. The land upon
which the cotton examined was grown.
Is ordinary red gravelly upland, we'll

An Explanation.

IN the appropriations of the jan
uary term of the county court APP
peared an item that my friends have
told me was not fully understood.
This was AN appropriation of $3.50 to
J. G. Boals for legal advice, ETC.. to
the trustee. This has been con
strued as special service rendered
to me as trustee, but the fact is, how
ever, that Mr.. Boals rendered the
service in litigation over the rail-
road taxes of 1895, which were adj
Indicated in the courts and had no
reference whatever to the taxes that
accrued during my term of office.
The matter was finally adjusted after
came into Office and | received the
mQna6 @ tR@stee, but the adjust
ment VS. made by the chairman of
the comfy court and counsel, to
whom is due the credit of the col
lection and Responsibility as well.
