ONE NEGRO KILLED
And Another Injured in Shooting
Scrape at Friersontown.

Friersontown. near Mt. Pleasant,
was the scene of two shooting scrapes
Sunday. resulting in the death OF
one negro and the wounding of another

over the telephone, it appears that

crap game, when two of them-Wel-
thon and Patterson by name-had a
falling out. Weithon. it is said. struck
Patterson over the head, whereupon
Patterson pulled his pistol and shot
him three times, killing him.
Sam Massey, the white man who was
charged with killing Constable Walter
Vaughan, but who was acquitted
several months ago after having been
tried twice, telephoned to Mt. Pleasant
to get authority to arrest Patterson.
The officer to whom he applied granted
him authority to make the arrest, and
Massey proceeded to a house where the
negro had taken refuge. The owner
Of the house-a negro whose name could
not be learned-refused Massey admit
lance, and during the controversy that
followed Massey drew his pistol and
shot the negro in the leg.
1t is understood that no warrants
lave been taken out for the arrest of
either Patterson or Massey.

They declined, and Prof. Bray on yes

some strong protests as to the action

After duly considering the matter

COL. BRYAN COMING.
Will Reach Here Tuesday Morning
Reception at the Bethel House.

A letter received from Col. W. J.
Bryan states that he will speak
at New Decatur, Ala, next Monday
evening, May 8, and will reach here
Tuesday on the early morning train,
about a. IN.
1t is somewhat of disappointment
that Col. Bryan will reach here at such
an unsea sonable hour. If he had come
from the North, on the 10 30 train,
he would have been met by large
committee of ladies from the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, in carriages,
and larger committee Of men on
horseback, from the ranks of the Maury
county "Old Guard of Democracy.
The early hour of his arrival will of
course prevent all that. The ladies are
however, for public re-
ception to be held in the parlors of the
Bethel House, from 10 to IL o'clock
Tuesday morning. Col Bryan's stay
will be very brief in Columbia, but
while here he will be made to feel a
most cordial welcome The pity is
that Columbia has not building large
enough to hold the crowd that Will
want to greet him.

Great Fortunes Piled

his first and second mates took the
other two to their wives in Brooklyn.
Had the machines been bought for
these three American homes instead
of for English homes, as the dealer sup
posed the price would have been $50
instead of $25
That IS to say, the dealer would have
stolen 1875 from his American customers.
To the extent that the tariff enables
the Trusts to charge higher prices at
home than they do abroad, the tariff
enables them to rob the American
people just as truly as the Food Trus
does by extorting high prices for food.
The American people stand these
tariff taxes-cOllected not for public use
b ut for private gain-because they are
so accustomed to them that they don't
know, or at least don't feel. that they
are being plundered.
To be charged more for a beefsteak
than it Is worth is the same thing as
to be charged more for suit of clothes
than it is worth, or hat, or pair of
shoes. or railroad ride, or house, or
sewing machine.
No matter what the thing is that
Trust monopolizes with the tariff
help, it steals your money by artificially
high prices exactly as the Food Trust
picks your pocket every time you go
to the butchers.
Out of the stealings which the tariff !
empowers the Trusts to collect great
fortunes have been piled up, and every
day other great fortunes are being &C.
cumulated.
These fortunes do not represent
honest business profits, but just plain
booty-the same kind of gains that the

in which the subject of temperance
was discussed generally, but especial
stress was laid upon the work that is
now before the Anti Saloon League,
in the way Of securing the election Of
men for the Legislature who will help
enact temperance laws.
Mr.. Provine sad the temperance
people in this locality were in
position to make themselves felt in
politics. The purpose of the Anti
Saloon League was not simply to
talk temperance, but to put men in
office whom we know will vote for
temperance laws. The men who
aspire to represent Maury county in
the next Legislature would be required
to say exactly how they stand on this
question The temperance element,
he said, was continually growing, and
the candidates of the whiskey people
were afraid to let it be known who
were running them. To call a man
"a whiskey candidate was now con-
sldered an insult.

- Most of sstnese thieving combines are
so fortun as to. be able to conceal
their thefts from the mass of their
victims.
The Food Trust can do that Hence
the outcry against it.
When a man is forced to pay more
for beefsteak than he has been used
to paying because the Food Trust con-
trolls the meat market he doesn't need
to be told by anybody that the Food
Trust is robbing him.
But tell the same man that the Steel
Trust Is robbing him, and you don't
convince and rouse him in the same
way. The process is more obscure.
The Steel Trust puts up the price of
steel rails and steel cars-the people
have to pay the higher railroad
charges when they buy the things
carried. 1t puts up the price of
structural steel and other building
materials-the people have to pay in
rent.
Many Trusts sell their goods in
foreign countries cheaper than they
do at home. We may be sure that
they don't sell anywhere at loss
Therefore every cent that the Ameri-
can pays for an American made article

article abroad, is stolen from him.
