The State Of Franklin.
August 10. 1901.

As noted in our news columns, Fri
day was the anniversary Of the attempt
on the part Of the inhabitants Of the
territory, now the great State Of Ten
nessee, to assume the position of soy
ereign State, a separate and organized
existence. In view of this fact brief
outline of the history OF the estate of
Franklin" will not be out Of place, and
possibly be interesting reading to q
great many people.
The State of Franklin had an exist
ence OF three years, one month and
seventeen days, to be precise, or from
the 14th day Of December, 1884, to the
LIST day of February, 1888. The first
convention to consider the matter Of
Withdrawing from the State of North
Carolina, met at Jonesboro on the 2Srd
day of August, 1884, just III years
ago yesterday. This convention was
composed Of delegates from the count
les of Washington, Greene and Sulli-
van, the other county, Davidson then,
with the counties named. composing
the territory now Tennessee, for some
reason not being represented. Forty
three delegates were present, and John
Sewer was chosen president, and Lam
don Carter secretary, BY vote OF 20
to 10 it was decided to Gull a conven-
ton to consist OF five delegates from
each of the four counties TO meet at
Jonesboro on the 10th of the following
November for the purpose Of forming
a separate State. The convention did
not meet at the time set, but ON the
14th OF the December following. Al
this convention a constitution was
formed andIthe new state named Frank
lin, in honor Of Benjamin Franklin, Of
Pennsylvania.
The legislature provided for by this
convention met early in the next year,
| 1888, at JOnesbor0, and elected John
Sewer Governor of the State. Landon
Garter was elected speaker Of the sen
ate and Thomas Talbot clerk. VIM.
Gage and Thos. Chapman were elected
Ispeaker and clerk respectively Of the
house of commons, as the lower house
of the legislature was called. David
Campbell was elected Judge of The su.
perior court, and Joshua Gist and John
Anderson assistant judges, Landon
Garter was elected secretary and VIM
Gage, treasurer OF the state; Stockley
Donaldson was elected surveyor gen
eral, very important Office at thai
time, and Daniel Kennedy and VIM

This session of the legislature passed
an act erecting Spencer county, aud
from TIE portion taken of erecting the
counties of Caswoll and Sewer. Cas-
well county is now the county Of JEFF
ferson, Wayne county was erected
out Of part Of Washington, and in-
oluded what is now Carter and John
son counties.
On November l4th, 1886, the conven-
ton again met, this time at Greene
vile, and finally adopted the constitu.
tion which had been prepared the year
before at Jonesboro. The capitol Il
the estate was transferred to GreeneYille
which might be said to be the only one
since Jonesboro, the birthplace of the
State, had never been fixed upon as the
capitol.
During the year 1886 sad state Of
affairs existed in the infant state.
North Carolina had never relinquished
her claims to the settlements, and
some of the counties still gave n par
tial adhesion to the power of the moth
er State. Washington county elected
John Upton, bitter foe of Gov. Sc
vier, to the senate of North Carolina,
and James Stuart and Richnrd White
to the lower house of the Legislature.
Double courts were elected and taxes
levied by both the State of North Caro-
linr and of Franklin, the citizens pay
ing neither. William Cooke was sent
on mission of Cancellation by the
State of Franklin to the State of North
Carolina, but was not received by the
latter.
In September, 1881, the last session
of tho legislature of the State of Frank
lin was held at Greeneville. John
Menifee was speaker of the house and
Charles Robinson speaker of the senate.
David Campbell and Landon Carter
were chosen by the legislature of the
State to appear before the legislature
of North Carolina to attempt the set
Element Of differences between the two
States. The result was that acts OF
amnesty and pardon were passed by
the North Carolina legislature, par
doning all those persons connected
with the government of the State Of
Franklin.
Pursuant to the settlement the
counties proceeded to elect officers I'M.

court of Washington county by the

On February LIST, 1888, the State Of
Franklin ceased to exist. In the same
year the county Of tTennesaee, from

tension to resources, education, tho ju-
dietary, the steps taken for a new civil

contasns an unconscious arraignment
of the high tariff policy Of the United

present system does not favor good
commercial facilities on account Of I'M
favorable duties on tobacco and sugar.
They keep the prices up in this country
and if they are persisted in regard to

Cuba VIII be slow II at all, as the change
conditions in commercial relations
since the time of the Spanish war make
her now market her principal products

have lower duties ''if she is TO live and

best arguments that low tariff can have,
and they are particularly forcible when
they concern the vital welfare of ar
