Trade With Asiatics.

In view of the interesting ques-
tions regarding China and It's trade
that will soon be prominent in our
political discussions we take pleasure
in reprinting extracts from the
speech of Hon. E. w. Carmack last
winter in the house of representa-
tives. Mr.. Carmack ideas on this
question are of character to COM
mand respect and it seems to us that
the position he takes with regard to
Asiatic trade is sound. A people
whose average wages don't amount
to a sack of -four month will hardly
buy much -four from American mil
lers. And il cotton and wheat can
be grown in China and the develop
ment of that country with railroads,
etc, will likely bring about the
establishment of manufactures like
those in our own country, in which
the cheap Asiatic labor lie employed
it will hardly be to the advantage
OF our country, where d high price
of labor prevails, to en- ourage such
competitors. Mr.. Carmack's speech
was an able one and Is worthy Of
careful study.-Knoxville Sentinel.

The Estes Law.

In an interview published by the

II shall not be in the next Legis-
lature. but the Estes fee bill will be
there. This is a reform which can
not be allowed to stand still. The
people ara for it, and the opponents
are the office holders who grow tat
upon the enormous ices whlch
amounts to robbery under the forms
of law. The bill was declared un
constitutional on a clerical error
only. OF the great number of alleged
errors in the bill, none were helc OF

set it aside in the next effort; The

To our neighbors and friends in
Tennessee IN early six years have
passed since we came among you,
and the warm and glowing sunshine
and the sweet, gentle breezes OF
lovely Tennessee have been no more
invigorating to US than the univer
sally kind deeds and loving words
we have received at your hands.
They have been as beautiful flowers
scattered along our pathway, and
these years have been among the
most enjoyable of our lives. We
have been asked many times If we
are leaving Tennessee because we
are Dissatisfied. We wish to say in
answer to all that we are delightfully."-
pleased with both people and
country, and now we return to our
Northern home because duty calls
us; and wherever we may wander
We will always, in the language OF
our friend Trotwood, ''be a-longln'
for sight of Tennessee"
May God bless you all.

A Tragedy Prevented.

Houston Williams and Humphrey
Church, both coored, were arrested
Saturday by officer Lipscomb. The
former was parading South Main street
with a double barreled shotgun with
no ammunition in it), thirsting for the
blood of the latter and prophesying di g
results if he should happen to cross his
path. Church, in the meantime, was
keeping at safe distance and making
blood-curdling threats against the
welfare of Williams Fortunately, the
officer interfered before any blooG was
spilled, and the two negroes are now
awaiting trial before Judge Erwin.
