Bogus Marriage.

A young man by the name Of
Charley Barclay was arrested Tues
day in Hickman County and turned
over to the Fulton County authori-
ties on the charge of victimizing a
young lady of Hickman County in
bogus marriage. The young man
and the young woman are residents
of Hickman County, but the al
legged bogus marriage is said to
have occurred III Fulton perhaps a
year ago. The charge is that the
young couple eloped from their
home i'll Hickman County, went to
Fulton, stopped at a hotel, and
that Barclay went out into town to
get the marriage license, and that
he returned to the hotel claiming
that lie did so, and that he then
took the girl to an alleged minister
who performed the ceremony. AT
ter the ceremony they went to Mar
tin, Tenn, where they stopped at
hotel as man and wife for several
days. Afterwards they went to
some point on Reelfoot lake and
lived several weeks as married peo-
pie. They then returned to Martin
where it is charged that Barclay
informed her that the marriage was
bogus and abandoned her. Her
relatives then came to her rescue
and sought to have Barclay arrest
ed, but officers failed to find him
until this week. The young woman
is said to belong to a good family
and her friends claim that she is an
innocent, unsophisticated country
girl, and the feeling in her behalf
is said to be terribly wrought up in
some circles in Hickman County.
Barclay, we understand, claims that
the alleged bogus marriage is all
trumped up, and that he never at
tempted to in any way deceive the
young woman. The full facts will
be brought out at the next term of
the Fulton circuit court. Hickman

court did not think the evidence
sufficient to convict and turned him
loose. How will this case do to
balance the statement of the Hon.
Mr.. Plum mer? | think that Mr..
Plummer made these statements
for the sole purpose of inducing the
negroes to go 10 Africa, that he
might get the per centage of trans
portation, and not because he loves
the negro any better than other
white men.
A petition to the President of
the United States and Congress
was read before the convention by
Mr.. Plegger, of Georgia, asking
Congress to give the negroes five
hundred million dollars, with which
to leave this country for Africa.
w. ii. Young, Colored lawyer of
Nashville, objected to the petition
by saying that the negro had been
sending petitions to Republican
Presidents and Congress for TWEEN
ty-fve years, all of which had not
been noticed by them, and that he
now advised the negro to join the
Democrats and help them to defeat
every Republican now in office, He
said he thought the Republicans
had been given a fair trial and that
the negro should leave them and
hep the party that will help him.
Mr.. Plummer (the white Repub-
licam got very much stirred up
over Mr. Young's statement, and
lost all sympathy Tor the negro for
the treatment lie had just said the
negro was receiving at the hand of
the Southern white man and left
the convention.
No conventions nor sets of resO-
lutions will stop lynching. Lynch
ing will stop when the cause for
lynching is stopped-and not until
then, no matter as to what else may
be said or done. Then there is but
one remedy tor this 1ynching evil
the world over, and that is to stop
the cause. All maladies NAV be
checked by applying proper rene
dies. but the malady will be sure to
return again, when the cause shows
itself again.
The whole of the Negroes future
i'll this country, | think, may be
very appropriately put in the words
of Mr.. Washington, in his address
at the Atlanta Exposition, i'll which
he said: "If the negro of this coun-
try is thirsty, let him cast his buck
ct down right where he is"

A CURIOUS LEGAL POINT.


st. Paul, Mimi, July 5.-A curious
legal complication has arisen at the
state prison through the practice Of
assigning one or more convicts to
shave the officials and inmates of the
institution. The barber board law
requires that every barber must get
a state license and pass an examina-
ton as to his personal habits and
moral character, as well as to his
skill with the razor.
Naturally a convict could hardly
convince the examiners Of good
moral character. Attorney General
Douglas, to whom the legal question
has been submitted, says the prison
barber must have q license the same
as anyone else, and it looks as though
the prison would have to hire Q civil
ian barber. The question was
brought up by the BARRIERS Of Still
water. They referred the matter to
the state BARRIERS board and Secre-
tary Martin, Of that body, consulted
with Attorney General Douglas with
the result that the legal opinion
above quoted was ELECTED.

create for skilled workmen.
The company has taken the pre-
caution of doubling the guards at
the shop grounds in this city, and
the strikers have placed pickets TO
watch the movements of the com
pany and prevent, il possible, new
men going to work. The western
