HOLD-JP OF NEGRO
CARRIER A FAKE.
Looks Now as if Nothing of the Kind
Occurred In Sumner County,
Roure Has Been Discontinued,
However.

Gallatin, Tenn.. May S.-The people
of Gallatin are now trying to convince
themselves whether John AlgoOd, the
colored carrier, was really held up.
Public opinion IN about evenly
divided. No Government officials have
arrived yet, but it is more than likely
that they Will be here Saturday, as
Postmaster Swaney has been notified
to suspend the route until further
notice.
There were number of reputable
citizens in town to day who live on this
route. and some OF whom objected to
the negro They say they do not
believe that there was hold up on this
route. Two responsible men state
that four negro men were at work in
field not more than fifty yards from
the place described by Algood where
the alleged hold up TOOK place, at the
time he claims to have been stopped
by the masked men. These four
negroes say that nothing OF the kind
happened there. The people on the
route claim there was no occasion for
the hold up, as the parties who OBJ
jected to the negro had removed their
DOACS anu lCCCtNCu thCil huii III Nh"i
latin, as they had done before the
route was established.
Whether there was a hold up or no
the suspension of the route will be
great inconvenience to lot OF people,
especially those living adjacent to
Cairo and Bandy, the Bandy postoffice
hs wing been discontinued when the
route was started.
Some sensational developments are
expected within a Gay or two.
The fact has leaked out that Reuben
Brown, white man, had secured a
higher average IN the civil service
examination than Algood did, but the
negro was appointed nevertheless.
Postmaster Swaney, when asked by
The American correspondent why this
was done, could give no reason, declar'
ing that he had no idea why such a
course was taken. Brown Is perfectly
competent and stands all right in
every respect.

There are niue cities in the State
having over D. 900 inhabitants: Bristol,
Knoxville. La Toilette. Chattanooga,
Nashville, Columbia. GAINESVILLE.
Jackson and Memphis. This leaves
only 10 places in the State with
saloons, and IL counties out of SO.
BILLS THAT FAILED.
There were several other pills which
we hoped would pass. One was the
Mcfarland anti jug bill. This was
defeated in the Senate on the ground
that if liquor could not be shlppet
from one town in Tennessee to another
it would be shipped into Tennessee
from other States The Hepburn bill,
which it is expected will pass the next
Congress, will obviate this difficulty.
The no screen bill was amended in the
Senate so as to make it practically
non effective and was then allowed to
die In the House. The Cate (Of Cooke
forfeiture of license bill passed the
Senate unanimuosly, but for some
mysterious reason was defeated in the
House. The Tharp blind tiger bill
was passed in the Senate. but fail ed
in the House for want of constlt u
tlonal majority. 1t lacked only three
votes OF passage and would nave passed
but for the absence OF number or
members, some from sickness, some
from other causes. The Cooper Dill,
however, passed both houses and is
now law upon our statute DOCKS.
THIS bill makes the holding OF govern
ment revenue license prlma facie
evidence OF guilt of illicit liquor
selling IN any places where the liquor
traffic ia prohibited. This was very
important measure.

Purest Of Em0IIientS and

The Most Wonderful Curative

the most successful curative for tortur-

all other remedies fail. 1t Is especially
so ia the treatment ofinfants and chill

Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
