INSANE MANS DEED.
Chops Boys Head off and Wounds
Man and Woman.

Knoxville, Tenn, June ia special
from johnson City tells of horrible
tragedy at Cutlaure, Tenn. Alfred d.
Baker and son Levi, Of Cole. Va, we're
on their way to North Carolina and
stopped with relatives near Pond Noun
tain. While they slept an insane man
named Crick Davis, armed with an axe,
com pletely severed the sons head from
his body at the first stroke, ana then
turned his attention to his father. Ugly
gashes were inflicted in each of his
shoulders.
Mrs. Baker, awakened by the shouts
of the fiend, left the house as quickly
as she could but was overtaken by the
insane man and chopped in fiendish
style.
When posse of neighbors had been
informed Of the tragedy, they weat to
the scene, finding Davis sitting in the
house near his victims, chuckling
with the mirth and innocence OF q
child. His deplorable condition was all
that saved him from being lynched.
He was bound, thrown into wagon
and uaken to jail. After giving the
particulars of the tragedy to the posse,
Afford Barker died. The scene OF the
tragedy is close to White Top Mountain,
Va, Just across the line In Tennessee.

WHEAT WILL BE IN DEMAND

"The first of the great crops OF the
American FARMS" says the Courier
Journal. sis now IN the process OF be-
ing garnered. The harvesting of wheat
is we'll under way in Texas, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and Kentucky, and is moving
rapidly north through all the States OF
the wheat belt. The hum of the reaper,
genuine paean of prosperity, is heard
over millions of acres, whose yellowed
product far surpasses in richness the
gold mines of the world. So far as cur
rent reports 60, the yield will probably
be u record breaker, and as it comes at
a time when Europe, Australia and
South Africa must buy, a good price is
assured. In consequence the markets
OF the world are likely to draw upon the
granaries of America for all the winter
and spring wheat that it can supply.
.Stocks' were the smallest on June l,
for many years. and since then they
have gone down still further, while
European crops have changed for the
worse.
1.-THE notable thing about the stats
tics is that they show the smallest stocks
for the past three years."

Brain Comparison.

IA mans BRAIN, remarked hi
statistician, lis heavier than
woman's, bnt it does not follow that
a man is tine smarter. Brain-mattel
Is not so much question OF quantity
as quality. Quality, however, 10 NOT &c
be despised, as witness Webster ana
Gunner, both naturalists. Some inter
esting brain statistics were some time
ago complied by the Medical World.
The average weight of the male brain
n az 1-2 ounces; Of the female, AZ
ounces-a difference of over f1ve
ounces Woman's brain has higher
specific gravity. The man mas q
larger brain in proportion tc statue
but woman brain is larger In proper
ton to the weight. The difference
between the weight of brain IN man
and woman increases with CIVILIZATION
and is most marked in the Caucasian
races. The greatest sexual dl1erence
as regards brain weight Is FOUND al
birth. when the female brain weighs
BAT ounces and the male BIB, OF
about one sixth more. while tne
weight of the male child Is one-nf'
teenth more than that of the female.
The female brain begins to lose welgh'
after 80, that of a man not till ten OF
fifteen years later. The loss In woman
Is very slight, however. and she keeps
up high brain weight much later man
man, so that In old age the difference
in brain weight is reduced to it's mini
mum, or little over three ounces;
When a brain falls to weight OF ~ TX
ounces in man or 81 1-2 ounces In
woman, id1ocy exists.

THE RACE QUESTION.

indiana! You have heard of the
State? 1t is not Of the South. don't
you know! It never seeded. 1t fought
for the Union and to free the colored
brother, and the older it grows the more
pronounced it's republican proclivities.
And in the following special from
Evansville, the good people Of Indiana,
by example, give the South the follow :
ing s.tip" as to mode and manner OF
settling the race question. Towit:
Evansville, Ind, June ia negro
who had been placed in charge Of a
transfer car on the Evansville street car
line at Howell, railroad station several
miles below here, was forced to leave
his position this afternoon by several
citizens of the town, who waited on him
and asked him o give way to a white
man. The negro was in charge OF the
car, but did not collect the fares. The
town is greatly opposed to negroes liv-
ing there, aid there have been several
attempts to rid the place OF the race.
The affair has caused considerable ex-
citement. 1t is understood the negro
will be asked to stay out OF the town.
Howell is a town Of 1000 people and the
shops OF the Louisville and Nashville
railroad are located there. =
The negroes were found in the rail
road yards at Howell late tonight by a
a posse of citizens and after being given
a severe beating we're forced to leave
town at the points of revolvers. They
were badly bruised and could hardly
walk.

OF 1t, after all. There Is yet another
point OF view our society friend has

AFTER AZ YEARS
Giles County Murderer, 90 Years Old,
ConIesses.

Lynnvllle. Tenn, June 17.-After
being snrOuded in mystery for almost
half a century, till the barest facts
were Known only TO tine Oldest inhao-
itants. the killing of William Cannon
has been cleared mp. In the statement
made upon his deathbed, now two
months ago. John Evans. an aged and
respected cItIzen, confessed that he 1t
was who fired the fatal bullet. The
statement was carefully guarded by
those few who knew it and even now
only the interest details are known.
ABOUT fortytwo years ago William
Cannon was shot from ambush by an
unknown party. He and his wife had
disagreed, and he mad threatened to
leave her, and while in an alteration
over the possession of their children
at his front gate, he was instantly
killed by rifle shot. NO positive
clue was ever gained as TO the identity
of the murderer. Suspicion pointed
to a man IN the neighborhood, but
upon investigation no evidence SUI
ficient for arrest was produced. How
ever, the man moved to a distant
State, where he has since resided.
Time rolled on. and the murder was
forgotten except by the Oldest inhaDi-
tants
About two months ago John Evans,
a prominent citizen of this community,
when dying in his ninety year
confessed to having committed the
deed. He and Cannon were brothers
in law, and his plea In justification was
that he could not longer stand Can
mons i'll treatment of his wife.
Evans was an upright. honorable
man, led an exemplary life and not
the faIntest suspicion was ever at
tached to his name in connection with
the murder. A more honored man
never lived in this section.
Both men were members OF large ana
well -to-uo families In this county,
and owing to this TACT. as little pub
licity as possible has been given to MI
Evans dying confession.

DORSEY AND FRANK BlRDSALL
Alleged Slayers of Kelly, Released or
Bond.

Yazoo City, Miss. June 10 W.
Gibbs Dorsey and Frank r. Birdsall.
the former charged with the MUIR
der OF Circuit Clerk I. A. Kelley, and
the latter as accessory to the crime,
have Deeu admitted to bail in the sum
Of 81, 500 each. An effort was made to
have Mr.. Birdssll's bond placed at
$500, inasmuch as he, was not shown
to have killed anyone.
Public sentiment in Yazo0 County
has undergone wonderful change
since the trial began, and the same
people who on the night after the de-
plorable tragedy wanted to lynch the
prisoners, are now agreed that there
are two sides TO the affair, and many
of those who were only few days
ago hitter against Dorsey and BirdsaN
are freely expressing sympathy for
the prisoners.
The fact that three Others have
been implicated in the tragedy, max
ing five on the Kelly side Of the con.
trOversy, with testimony undisputed
that still others were firing from the
courthouse yard and in the direction
OF the two Dorseys and Editor Bird
sail, together with strong indications
that conspiracy had been formed by
the Kelleys to Kill the Dorseys; ano
the complete annihilstlon of the first
reports to the effect that Biidsall was
behind a tree or post, while the Dor.
seys were the aggressors, has exactly
reversed the case, and what was In the
beginning the prosecution has become
the defense.
There is no doubt in the min0s %
those who have heard all of the evil

A pREsrpENr1AL POSSIBILITY.

a FHE5lDE0A AAL EOooAoA--AA -
The Hon. Joseph W. Folk. Of ST.
Louis. the great prosecutor Of boOdlers.
IL looming up as a strong presidential
possibility. Henry watterson has
given him a long and strong editorial
endorsement. Mr.. Bryan IN the Com
moner. says that mo name in MIS-
souri, is more honored." and the
Nashville News says. mr. Cleveland
has spoken favorably of Mr.. Folk. "
If Bryan and Cleveland can agree
upon a man; and Watterson, who is
against them both can agree with
them upon the same man, 1t looks like
the balance of us should be satisfied.
By birth Mr.. Folk Is a Southern
man: his residence is In the MIDDLE
west; his record is without blemish,
ana is in healthy, good CONDITION for
the running. Why not put him up
and make the paramount issue Law
Endorsement The platform would
give strength to the man. and the man
would gIve strength TO the platform
and really what the country needs
worse than new laws. or anything
elsa, is an honest, earnest. Impartial
enforcement of the laws that we
have.
The great curse OF the age. in our
humble opinion. is the sham life OF
the people Society processes to high
standard of morals and yet Society
admits to its most exclusive circles
men ana women whose moral charac-
rers confessedly are as black as Erebus.
What Society needs Is enforcement OF
Its laws, by the old time ostracism OF
those who violate them.
The Church processes certain vows
and rules and regulations. And yet
so lightly do large class of Its mem
bers regard their VOWS, and so ma
grantly do they violate them, that
church membership STANDS for nothing
absolutely nothing. What the Church
needs is not new members, 80 much as
1t is to get rid OF its dead timer. by
proper enforcement of its laws.
The Government-State. Federal and
Municipal--has become cumbersome
and corrupt. not because of mans
lack of wisdom or power to govern
not because the finite mind cannot
understand and grapple the great ques-
tion of government; not because law
makers do not know the need OF the
people. or cannot find the remedy not
because OF bad laws-though there are
many nor yet the lack of good laws.
But what paralyzes every effort to
make this a government of and for
and by the people, IS non enforcement
OF the Law.
What Humanity, in It's broad sense,
this wide world over, needs today,
IS real life, and the wholesome enforce
ment Of the laws OF Society, Church
and State. 80
