has written a letter toComptroller,
Theo. f, King, urging him to take
active steps to collect and have
paid into the Treasury of the State
and tounty's all moneys due from
the back-tax attorneys of theState.
The last biennial report of the
Comptroller shows the back tax
attorneys in thirty.fve counties
have made no settlements and the
amounts paid in since the Office of
back.tax attorney was abolished
are in many cases surprisingly
small. 1t is reliably stated that
in one large county in Tennessee
the back-tax attorney held back
above $4,000, which the decision
of the Supreme Court will require
to be paid to the State.

The two lynchings in Newman,
Ga.,a few DAYS ago, have provoked
a good deal of comment from the
people and the press throughout
the country. Sam Hose, COL, the
first victim of the mob, was guilty
of one of the most henious crimes
in the annals of history. After
entering the home of Mr.. Gran.
ford q prominent and respected
farmer, and splitting his head
open with an axe, he seized an in.
FAINT and dashed it across the
room into the blood of its father,
after which he seized Mrs. Gran.
ford, throwing her into puddle
of blood as it oozed from her
husband, and accomplished his
damnable deed. While mob law
should not, and is not tolerated
by our best thinking people, yet
when a crime so foul as this oc.
ours in any community, an out.
ragged people cannot wait for the
strong arm of the law to avenge
the crime. Yet, mob law is con.
trary to good morals, law and
order, and no doubt innocent PEG.
pie sometimes are victims of mob
violence, In cases of this kind,
and all other violations of our
laws, it would be better to let the
law take its course, but our
courts should not be slow to act,
and quick justice should be meted
ont.

Trouble In Lewis County.

A special Centreville, Tenn.
to the Nashville Banner of the
9th ult; says:
Considerable excitement has
been created in Lewis county by
the recent arrest of four of that
county's most prominent citizens
under the charge of attempt to
commit murder in the first degree.
A few nights ago some unknown
persons placed dynamite or some
other powerful explosive under
the house of II. V. Stages, post.
master at Clagett, near Hohen-
wald. One end of the house was
torn down and the postoffice,
which was located in the building,
was demolished. The alleged per.
petratOrs are j. p. Grimes, J. M.
Grimes, two prominent merchants
of the above place, and John
Hines and George Ragsdale, a
school teacher and farmer, all of
whom have been arrested and are
on trial before Squire Jones at
Clagett. There are sixty-three
witnesses and the case is one Of
the most interesting ever tried in
Lewis county. The trouble is o
sequel to a difficulty over the
employment of teacher to teach
at Napier. Stages family were
in the building at the time the ex.
plosion took place. None were
killed, but several of the children
were badly shocked.

Resolutions of Resnect.

Whereas, God in his just dis.

midst, March 81, 1899, by the fall.
ing Of a rock while loading a wag.
on with gravel on the Shiloh Ma
tional Park, our friend and broth.
er, Walter, the son of Plnkney
and Mary Washburn. He was
born in McNairy county, Tenn.
In the summer of 1880 he profess.
ed faith in Christ, and became a
member of the M. g., Church,
South at Shiloh.
Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our profound gratitude to
God for the beauty of his life and
the inspiration of his example.
That, while we bow to the decree
of Him who doeth all things well,
we cannot forbear in this hour OF
grief and general sorrow, giving
expression to the sense of loss
that our community, our Sunday
School and our church has sus.
tanned in the taking away of so
honorable a citizen, so noble a
friend, true and pure a christian.
We would not say to the loved
ones "Weep not' for we cannot
but grieve, for this our loss since
in the death of Walter, our grief
is most intense. In an eminent
degree he possessed the noblest
virtues of christian character.
Resolved, That stricken down
in the morning of manhood, with
life's work just begun, the work
accomplished in the few years
which were allowed him was good
in the sight of God and man. We
feel sure that the loss is ours only,
but eternal gain is his with his
sainted father, who, by precept
and example, taught Walter in his
earliest days to live that he might
enjoy that eternal reward prepared
on high for the faithful on earth.
Resolved, That we tender our
most sincere coincidence to the
loving and loved mother, sisters
and little brother, from whom
Walter was so suddenly taken

1t took the travellers little time tc
realize that they were suffering from
Daltonism, or color blindness, superin
duced by eye fatigue. The intense light
caused by the sun shining upon the
snow had for the time rendered them
unable to judge of colors and given rise
to their curious mistake. Three hours
elapsed before the eyes regained their
normal condition.
Chevreul explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon a given color with
out tending to become insensible to it.
When the eye looks long upon a color,
it should be rested by the complement

tired with green should be rested by
