every direction of the state in
search of gubernatorial timber

Asheville, N. c., Feb. 19.-Dr. J. L.
NJ Curry, one of the most prominent
educators of the south, died here at
1890 o'clock today of Bright's disease
at the residence of his brother law,
Col. Connolly. DR.. Curry had been
critically ill for the past two weeks.
Mrs. Curry arrived from Philadelphia

her husband when his death occurred,
DIR. Curry was born in 1926, and was
a native of Georgia. He was gradual
ed from the University of Georgia in

In 1S47 he was elected to the state
legislature of Alabama, and returned
to three consecutive sessions. At the
end of his service he was elected to the
house of representatives of the Thirty
fifth and Thirty sixth sessions Of con
gress.
When Alabama seeded, DR.. Curry
resigned his seat in the national house
and was member of the First congress
of the southern confederacy, where b,
served with distinction.
DR.. Curry served in the Mexican wa
and was a lieutenant-colonel in tn,

Plots Have They Laid.

Office, money and power are the three
big words in the democratic dictionary
they symbolic all that the true dem
ocratic heart yearns for, and to the
aforesaid and the same, suggest all that
makes life worth living. The average
democrat, especially if he has once en-
joyed the sweets of Office, among which
he reckons money and power, would
rather be dog and bay the moon than
private citizen. This is peculiarly
of the democratic creed, although not q
part of the party's published confession
of faith, and therefore we do not I'M
charitably criticise any individual
member of the party for holding the
views of the organization to which they
owe allegiance. The sublime devotion
of the democratic party to the one sin
gle business of getting office and hold
ing it (say what you will of the modus
operandi) is to be admired just as We
admire in the abstract the pertinacity
of Shylock in demanding his pound Of
flesh. Let the longtime Office holder
of the democracy know that his official
end is at hand and the language of his
heart, if not of his lips, would be:
Iwould not live Away no-welcome the tomb
This love of Office, and the emolu.
ments thereto belonging, has, in the
days of auld long syne, nerved the par
ty of Jackson, Jefferson, Bob Toombs,
JEFF Davis and others to perform some
queer antics, and the show is not YET
over.

night will continue to succeed day, and

large the magisterial districts of the
various counties of East Tennessee as
to make the Dortch law applicable to
them all, and when that is done, all
that is necessary to a complete demo-
cratic victory, all over the districts
mentioned, is to touch the button and
start the democratic machine that will
have been already created to properly
electrocute the republican party, The

The Anti-SalOOn Fight,

The adjustment of the charters of
lockwood and Kingston will soon be
on in the legislature at Nashville. We
stand and always have stood for local
option. We always have and always
will favor a majority rule. We are OPP
posed to arbitrary legislation. Large
petitions are being pro and con. SEN
ator Cate and Representative Evans
both favor local option as set forth in
the republican platform and want the
voters of these two towns to settle this
matter by vote called for that purpose.
They both say this is fair and right
and this is now the growing sentiment
in the house of representatives, perhaps
not so much so in the senate. Senator
Gate says if the majority of the voters
of lockwood or any other town will
sign petition to abolish their charter
that they will certainly vote to abolish
it, and that having now the right to do
this, that there is really no occasion to
bother the legislature with the question.
We are still of the opinion that it is
not for the best interest Of lockwood
to abolish her charter; and we are broad
enough to allow our neighbors and fell
low townsmen the same right to their
opinions as we have to ours. This is a
free country, every man has q right to
express his opinion and to deposit his
ballot as he sees proper; and if a major
ity of the citizens aud voters of oul
town are for this measure then let the
ballot box show it. A majority should
never be afraid Of an election.
There are two petitions out-one ask
ing the legislature to abolish our char
ter outright, the other asking the legis
lature to allow the people to settle thu
question at the ballot box. Quite {
number of the signers asking for thu
ballot to settle it will DO doubt vote fol
the adjustment of the charter; bu
they want to be fair and they want i
settled in this way so the minority cal
never cast any reflections thereafter.
Can any fair-minded man say we ar,
wrong? Weare running public news
paper. We are supposed to represen
both sides of all public questions, boil
factions are our patrons, therefore i
becomes our duty, as we see it, to say
what we have. And we say farthe
that if this question, as a compromis,
of right, by allowing the people to vote
, that from the moment that is agreed to
that the Times will be absolutely neu
trail and will take up the fight of Meth
, er side.
We are now simply asking for a fair
free expression at the ballot box
where every man can deposit bis vot
with no one to intimidate him b.
threats of ostracism or boycott.
{ We have seen personal fights in thi
, town. No good comes of them. W
have seen good mems characters assail
ed in the most violent manner, and W
