caused all the trouble, and can con-
slider himself a lucky negro to have
escaped the rope. He went to Hunt

whisky returned to Trezevant and
proceeded to make himself obnox-
ious. At 8 o'clock at night he went
to the home of W. L. Mccoy, a
prominent merchant, and demanded
admission. Mrs. Mccoy ordered the
negro away and he attempted to
break down the front door. Failing
in that, he went to a side window.
The screams of the women fright
ened him away and a crowd prompt
ly gathered. Bloodhounds were put
on the trail and after a short chase
Cunningham was captured. Many
in the crowd were for stringing him
up at once, but Mr.. Mccoy refused
to give the word, preferring that he
be dealt with by law. The negro
was arraigned before Magistrate o.
G. Sloan, bound over and is now in
carcerated in the Huntington jail.

The tariff is sacred 10 the trusts, because
the very existence Of the trusts as monopo-
lies depends upon the maintenance Of the
tariff. Evidently the Republican party Is
owned and controlled by these evil orgAni.
cations, and entirely hostile to the people In
consequence. The remedy for such cond-
tons Is plain indeed. The American people
must take the matter into their own hands
and, by substituting Democratic control for
Republican control 10 their Government,
make certain the securing of tariff reform

The moment this is done the people will
