The Judges Must Surely Go.

JACKSON, Tenn, August s, 1899.
The Supreme Court disposed OF
the judges cases to-day, there be-
ing a full court present. Three
long, able opinions were delivered,
one by Justice McAlister, holding
the abolishing acts valid and con-
stitutional. In this opinion, JUS
tees Caldwell and Wilkes concur
red, Chief Justice Snodgrass and
Justice Beard dissenting. The re-
moval resolutions were held invalid,
all the members of the court con-
curing except Justice Wilkes, who
delivered and filed an exhaustive
and able dissent, maintaining that
the causes stated in the resolution
aud notice were such as the Consti-
tuition recognized. The opinions
were very full, and discussed all
phases of the question involved.
The result is to sustain the action
of the Legislature in abolishing the
courts and thus removing the Judg-
es involved, but holding that the
resolution of removal must be for
causes personal to the Judge, and
not for economic reasons or grounds
of public policy. The opinions oc-
cupied FIVE hours in delivering and
will cover about 200 pages of print
ell matter. Quite an array of law
yers and citizens were present and
the most intense interest was shown.
None of the affected officers were
present. The decisions dispose OF
all questions involved in all the
acts of resolutions. The court will
adjourn this evening.
Chief Justice Snodgrass deliver
ed minority opinion for himself
and Justice Beard covering about
10000 words, exhaustively review
ng the case involved, and finally |
concluding the entire act relative to
the courts unconstitution-
Il. Upon the conclusion the JUDGE
'eceived the hearty congratulations

Ipplauded during the delivery of |

sOnally commanding state
troops when they are called
out to protect prisoners from
mob violence. He says he is
determined to stop lynching
in Georgia at any cost, and
will no longer depend upon
sheriffs, since many Of them
have permitted their prison
ers to be lynched without of
fering resistance. Gov .Cand-
Ter is to be commended. He

North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi and 9th
er states in the cotton region
are dotted with cotton mills,
which have proved paying in
vestments without exception.
Several of these mills have
recently been established in
Tennessee. There is no reas-
on why one should not paw
in Bolivar. Assume that
BOlivar's cotton receipts are
now 1000 bales, and they are
close to that number. Four
thousand bales sold as raw
cotton ut six cents would
bring 500, 900. Four thous-
and bales sold as cloth at Is
cents (said to be a conserva-
tive estimate) would bring
100000. This would give
a profit of $40, 900 to our
town and its neighboring
people. This profit would
come from abroad and 90 in
part to the stockholders and.
in part to the operatives,
from whom in turn ii would
90 to neighboring farmers
for food stuffs and to mer-
chants for clothes and gro
ceries. If we expect to build
up Bolivar, we must offer in
ducements to people to move
here and furnish them with
employment after they come.
We have a number of citizens
with capital who are willing
to take stock in any enter
prise that promises affair re-
turn from the investment. |
We know of nothing better
than a cotton mill.

Bill of Injunction Granted.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Aug 3, 1899.
Maj. J. G. Harris, of Lake Coun-
ty, claims to own the greater part of
Reelfoot Lake, and as he values
corn and cotton land more than he
does fishing territory, he began, a
few days ago, with some sixty or
seventy five hands and fifteen or
twenty teams, to drain, as he claim
ed, a part of the lake, which would
leave the low and outlying lands
fit for cultivation, while there would
still be an immense lake for hunt
ing and fishing purposes. But the
public generally believed that in an
overflow the water which goes into
the lake from the Mississippi would
find an outlet through Harris ditch,
and eventually there would not be
a drop of water in famous old Reel
foot. So strong is this belief that
II. Dietzel, George Dahnke, J. c.
Burdick and other prominent mon
led men yesterday filed bill of in
junction against Harris to prohibit
him from continuing his drainage.
The injunction was granted byChan-
Gerry Judge Cooper, and before fin
ishing his drainage scheme, Maj.
Harris must wait until the court de.
eides as to his right to empty Ten
nessee's greatest fishing resort.

The discharge of Profess

an ugly piece of work. They

taches of the institution. No

were removed "for the best

Let us look into the history
of this matter: Some time

priation of funds belonging
to this school came to the
ears of the Legislative COM
mittee on education. In their
investigations the committee
summoned n number of the
teachers and pupils to APP
pear before them. The
above mentioned lady and
gentlemen were among the
number. They testified with
reluctance, but under the as
surance that they would be
protected. Through their
testimony it was discovered

Cotton Growers Dilemma.

The Natchez Democrats
suggestion that the cotton
farmers and planters shall
hold back at least one-third
of their cotton crop until aft
er December or January on
the assumption that by keep
ing it out of sight and out of
market the other two-thirds
will bring as much as the
whole crop, is an excellent
one and should by all means
be adopted by cotton growers
all over the South as far as in
their power lies. There is no
doubt that the rushing of a
great staple crop to market,
and forcing it on buyers, has
a most depressing and disas-
trous effect on prices. No
market will stand such a
strain without weakening.
And yet, for years past that
is just what has happened to
the cotton crop. The grow
ers of it were in debt for ev-
cry dollar (and often times
more, too) that the crop was
worth to his country or city
merchant; the merchant was
in turn in debt to other large
merchants or bankers; all
these people wanted their
money and they wanted it at
the earliest moment possible.
The cotton grower, the vic
tim Of a vicious system that
robbed him at every turn,
and a helpless slave to debt,
was the only and greatest
sufferer. The producer had
to stand it all and then see
his crop forced on a glutted
market and sold at what it
would bring.
Indeed that same vicious
system prevails largely even
into the present day and there
is no hope that it will be dis
continued until the cotton
growers become self-support-
ing and free to hold on to
their cotton until they get a
decent price for it. They
will never become self-sup-
porting until they learn how
to diversity their crops and
keep out of debt. Every man
who is in debt and depend
ent upon what his land pro-
duces is a slave to his pitia-
bic condition and is forced to
give up his crop, it matters
not how low the price.
The fact that a great crop
of wheat, corn or cotton, or.
any other staple, has been
raised cannot be hidden and
is known Of all men. The
buyers know the size of ev=
cry crop in which they are
and are too long
headed to be deceived, and as
most of them are financially
on easy street they can afford
to bide their time and wait
until the market suits. There
is no known way to sell an
Overproduced crop at its le-
Ultimate value, and there is
no known way to prevent a
short crop from selling at
more than its legitimate value.
