Hammonds' Murder Case.

Pulaski. Tenn, Nov. 5.-The jury
which has been engaged in trying the
case of the State against w. J. Ham
monds, charged with murder in the
killing of Thomas. H. Browning on
Dec. 30, 1899, returned verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree
with mitigating circumstances, -. this

The case began Oct. %, 1901. and
has been ON trial ever since. At the
spring term, 1900, Hammonds was con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. This YER
dict was reversed by the Supreme
Court because the proof did not show
generalization.
When the verdict was announced this
morning the attorneys for Hammonds
entered motion for a new trial. The
determination of this motion was set

A WOMAN MISSIONARY.

A correspondent of the indianapolis
News, who signs herself "A Southern
Woman" writes as follows:
II am careful reader of your paper,
and recently have found articles in
it on the colored question that go
straight home to Southern woman,
which | happen to be. Southern
people believe that if colored people
were meant to be the social EQUALS of
the whites God would have made
tn EN- white and not black. The
colored people are not seeking this
equality. In the South they under
stand the barrier They look on white
people who mix with them as poo
white trash, and they have only con
tempt for them. They do not seek this
equality in the North-it is only the
forwardness of the whites that is Civ
ing it encouragement, and politics is
responsible for it Love for the colored
race is not behind it. How frequently
in the North we hear the expression,
i hate a niger; we hear this even
from Republicans. You do not hear
such expressions in the South. The de
cent colored people there have the high
est respect of the whites. | was al
ways reprimanded by my mother when
| was a girl if, in my anger re-
ferred to the colored people as niggers.
While they did not eat at our tables,
they got exactly the same fare as we
did, and most respectful treatment in
every other way.
1.-The Southerners do not need the
assistance of the broad minded North
erners in taking care of the colored
question. The whites there will COM
mand the respect of the colored race
much longer than the whites of the
North will. The cololed peolpe of the
South condemn President Roosevelt
action as much as the white people
do. Cleveland would have been con-
demned as loudly as Roosevelt, and
I have no doubt the Republicans would
have led the howl.
"My observation is that the most
uncharitable criticisms of the South
erners come from the people who know
| least about them and the conditions
there. If things keep on in the way
they are pointed the racial problem
will be brought right to the homes Of
the Northern people. Then we shall
see how these critics will solve it. +"

LEGAL FIGHT
Between McMinnville Saloonists and
Anti Saloonists Probable.

McMinnville, Tenn, Nov. 6.-The
new charter of incorporation of the
town of McMinnville was received from
the Secretary of State this morning and
was at once filed for record in the
County Registers Office and the last
step taken to perfect the incorporation
of the town SO as to come within the
provisions of the act of 1899 extending
the four-mile law to towns of 2, 600 in
habitants incorporated subsequent to
the passage of that act.
The Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
passed resolution to refund to the
saloon men the unexpired portion of
their license money provided they
would close at o'clock. This morn
ing two of the saloons closed up and
surrendered their license, but the re-
naming two have refused to close and
intimate that they have retained
counsel to fight the matter to the bitter
end 1t is understood that they have
retained Maj James S. Barton to make
the fight for them.
On the other hand, the Anti Saloon
Committee is determined that the will
of the voters upon the question will
not be disregarded and assert that they
will never let up on the two belligerent
gentlemen until their saloons are finally
closed.

of the most nefarious business in the
community from some purely imagi-
nary injustice, they vote to overthrow
an organization that stands purely and
simply for conservative, intelligent,
good government, free of all selfish
aims and purposes, and to go back to
that personal, selfish ward politics
which has cursed every community
wherein it has ever prevailed. 1t is
strange that men will permit them
selves to be persuaded to lend their in
fuence to cause that-if successful
must inevitably result in breaking
down good influences and building up
bad ones not only to the moral de-
generacy of local politics and society,
but to the consequent damage of
property and business interests in the
future.

The free rural route delivery system
has been worked one month in Maury

GELS of mail matter; letters. postals,

out the Hampshire pike to Cross

the heaviest business, delivering

Pleasant pike to Ashwood, and through

advantages and conveniences to be de-
rived from this rural delivery system,
viii all take it; not only take it, but

THE SALOON KNOCKED OUT.

Liquor was knocked completely out
of McMinnville last Saturday by II vote
of $50 to n; over three to one against
the saloon. That was a grand victory
for good government and good morals,
and the special goes on to tell us how
the victory was won. 'Many of the
business houses, banks, etc, says
the special "closed during the day in
order that their heads and employees
might work at the polls. That is how
the Reform forces ought TO work here.
Public sentiment ought to declare
itself Our local pastors ought to be
preaching temperance. Lecturers
ought to be brought here to proclaim
temperance. The men of the town
ought to be talking it on the streets and
in their shops and offices and business
houses; and the good women. in a
quiet, rnobtrusive way, ought to be
using their influence to the utmost to
persuade those they love to vote for
temperance, sobriety and good morals
Many man who thinks now that he
will vote for the Yoest board-whicb
is in effect vote to repeal the early
closing law-can be persuaded by some
good mother, wife. sweetheart or lady
friend, to vote differently-to vote a
straight ticket for the Nichols board,
which is in effect vote to sustain and
enforce the present law closing the
saloons at 8 80 p. m. The good women
are not at work in this campaign as
they should be. They have an influence
and they owe it to themselves. to
humanity. to their country and their
God. to exercise that influence, NOW
Not by public meetings or public pa
rade, or by going to the polls, but by
personal pleas with those they should
be able TO influence. 1t is time the
Reform forces were all going to work.
No more time need be wasted discuss
ing the issues We all understand the
issue; the main paramount issue. The
Nichols ticket is in favor of regulating
the liquor traffic by enforcing the
law closing the saloons at $3.50. The
Yoest ticket is in favor of repeating
that law Whether that makes the
Yoest ticket the whiskey ticket or not,
every man is entitled to his own
opinion but certainly no man can
misunderstood the issue. Tomorrow
two weeks is the election day. If the
good people of Columbia-men and
women, preachers, lecturers and lay
men, intend to do any work fol-
temperance, it is time they were uI
and at it. Regrets two weeks from
now, will be unavailing. To try tC
rest the blame upon others will give
poor consolation. NOW is the time
to work, and whether you be mar
or woman, the opportunity and re-
sponsibility and duty is upon YOU

Some people who do not read much
and whose lives are circumscribed by
narrow environments seem to be of
the opinion that the effort to regulate
the liquor traffic is peculiar to Colum-
bia. They were never more mistaken
The fight is going on and making
progress all over this state and in many
other states. Several entire counties
in Tennessee are prohibition counties;
not drop of whiskey being legally
sold within their borders. And com
palatively few towns under 1900 in
habitants, permit its sale; the people
are knocking it out with their ballots
just as fast as they can and every
chance they get And the larger towns
that cannot vote it out are nearly all
regulating it as best they can. The
civilized world Is beginning to realize
that the saloon is a barbara us relic of
imam g inhumanity TO man, and they
are moving against it with irresistible
power and ever increasing velocity.
Shall Columbia move backward while
all sister cities and towns are NOV
ing forwardH Shall Columbia make
for itself, at home and abroad the name
of 'whiskey town." Do we wish
to become the Mecca for that class of
people who follow the saloon? Do we
wish to invite the bum element from
Lewisburg, Fayetteville, Lebanon,
McMinnville, and score of other
towns that have knocked out whiskey,
to Columbian Are we willing to pay
the price of what their trade would
cost? The price in blood and money
and morals2 And are we willing to
say to that other and larger and richer
and in every way more desirable class
of citizens who are seeking anti whis-
key towns, keep away from Column
bia2" Do we want to compel our
own people to send their boys to Spring
Hill to school, to avoid the democrat
izing effects and dangerous temptations
of the Columbia saloons? These ques-
tions all have direct bearing upon the
issue involved in this municipal cam
paign Answer them honestly, and vote
accordingly. And speaking of Spring
Hill, its healthy growth and fair
name; what is causing it3 Branham

But Branham & Hughes say, publicly

Think first of the money Webb Bros.

No moral question ought to be con-
sidered purely on business princi-
pies" A man-morally speaking-had
just a we'll sell whiskey, as to vote
for the sale of it. And he had Just as
well vote to sell it "a hours in the day,
as two hours in the day. When man
has an opportunity to vote to restrict
the liquor traffic, and instead votes
against the restriction, he becomes to
that extent particeps criminis to all
the evils of the liquor traffic. Every
man ought to vote his convictions; but
his convictions ought to be right. "a
man may believe lie and be damned. >
That quotation is from the Bible. 1t
is just as culpable in man to sell his
vote for trade" as it is for money
the principle is the same. 1t is just
as reprehensible In man to vote for
what he knows deep down in his heart
to be wrong, for business reasons
another name for gain-as it is to
sell his vote outright for fixed price
to be paid in cash in the coin of the
realm. There is no reason or logic in
the argument that the license to sell
whiskey should not be curtalled by
any limitation of hours The license
to sell is according to law; it is nc
infringement of any mans rights to
ask him to confine his conduct within
the limitations of the law. A vote for
the Nichols ticket is vote to uphold
the present law; to make the liquor
dealers obey the law. A vote for the
Yoest ticket is to make the law obey
the liquor dealers. The Nichols ticket
are in favor of regulating the liquor
traffic according to law. The Yoesi
ticket are in favor of amending the
law to suit the liquor dealers. That i,

Yoest ticket. and the evil results there
from. are not 10 be considered as being

The Yoest ticket are either ashamed
or afraid-Or for other reasons best
known to themselves-willn not declare
their position on the paramount issue of
this municipal campaign, the regulation
of the liquor traffic. So, while it is
generally understood that this ticket is
opposed to the $3.50 law, it is not
known, so far as the general public is
concerned, what they are for. But
one thing you may rest assured of.
The whiskey men know how that ticket
will vote on that question; otherwise
they would not be supporting them as
they are.
