I er1nessee State News
Federal Aid Demanded. /.

Il
In an address before the West
Tennessee Farmers Institute at
Jackson last week Col. IT. b. Kille-
brew said that while the United
States had become first in agricul-
ture, manufacture, railroads, educa-
tion, export and in nearly everything
else, it was last in good roads, al
though they were something that
everybody was interested in except
the inmates of lunatic asylums and
penitentiaries. He said his object
was not to tell how to build good
roads, but how to get money to build
them. He advocated national aid to
the States, counties and districts,
and brought to bear many statistics
showing the loss to farmers in the
cost of transporting their products
to market over the poor roads at
present existing. While vast strides
had been made in everything else,
sthe average country road was no bet
ter than it was 100 years ago, and in
no part Of the country are the roads
in winter worse than in West Ten
nessee. He attributed this to lack OF
concept on the part Of the people.
Hundreds of millions of money have
been appropriated to the improve
,nent of rivers and harbors which
could be more usefully expended in
the matter of good roads. .. a.s a.
So deep was the impression made
upon the delegates by the able adj
dress Of Col. Killebrew, that the fol-.
I'd lowing resolutions, offered by T. L.
Somerville were unanimously
adopted:
.sWhereas, The farmers Of the
! country paysthe majojrity Of taxes
to the support If the general gov
ernment, therefore be it
" "Resolved, /. That something is
due that class as well as to the own
sers Of steamboats, and steam vessels,
who enjoy the benefits of the i'm
provements of the rivers and har-
bors. os .aa 1' aSBF Rab aS
.99 That we demand Of our sen
ators and representatives in con-
gress that they support any bill
looking to an appropriation Of gov
ernment funds in aid'of the common
roads Of the country, believing as
we do that these initial sources Of
commerce need legislative aid as well
as that which passes over the great
rivers and through the harbors Of
the seaboards and lakes.
SO. That We emphasize The fact
that we do not wish the government
to build the highways of the coun-
\ TRY, ,sbut only to assist those counties
and districts which will undertake
to raise money for this purpose.
a. That we thoroughly appreciate
the kindlyofices Of the government
in providing rural free delivery, and
that assistance in keeping up the
routes for free delivery is, in our
Judgment, imperative and necessary.
"5. That the thanks Of the farmers
attending are hereby rendered to
Hon. j. B. Killebrew for his able
speech

Albany, Ca, April 20.-Meagre par
ticulars have reached here of a fatal
shooting ARRAY at Freeman's still, in
the extreme eastern part of Mitchell
county, when one officer was killed
and another wounded by an escaping
convict.
1t appears that several days ago a
desperate negro convict escaped from
a camp in the extreme eastern portion
of Mitchell county. He had gained a
good start before the escape was dis
covered, but two officers, Turner Cox
and Harmon West. started in pursuit.
They reached Baconton at 3 o'clock
this morning. The horse they were
driving having become exhausted, they
procured fresh one. They had learn
ed that the convict was stopping for
rest and sleep at Freeman's still, which
is nine miles from Baconton.
AS soon as they had procured a fresh
horse, Cox and West pressed on. They
reached Freeman's still at o'clock and
had no difficulty in locating the fugi-
tive, who,e they found, was in a little
cabin.
They Immediately undertook to eff
feet his capture, but the negro was
armed, his weapon being either a re-
volver or a rifle, and he shot West
dead in his tracks.
Another shot seriously wounded Cox.
The negro escaped. but large num-
Der of. men are after him. They have
procured dogs and hope to catch him.

FATAL FALL FROM A HORSE.
Hugh Nj. Radcliffe Killed at Fancy
Bluff Near brunswick.

Brunswick, Ga, April 2O.-A dis
tressing accident occurred at Fancy
Bluff shortly after o'clock Sunday
afternoon, in which Hugh NJ. Radcliffe,
a well known farmer, lost his life.
Those who have lived in the country
will appreciate the fact that the COWS
must be penned, whether on Sunday or
otherwise. This was the task Mr.
Radcliffe was performing, and after
the work had been completed, and
very near to the gate to his home, his
horse gave a sudden lurch forward
and fell, carrying with him his rider.
Members of the family saw the acct
dent and fastened to the scene, only
to find Mr.. Radcliffe unconscious. A
messenger was dispatched to Bruins
wick for DR.. r. E. l.. Burford and
shortly before 10 o'clock he arrived
and remained at the bedside of Mr..
Radcliffe all night Shortly after his
arrival he announced to members of
the family that the case was hopeless,
for the reason that in his fall the in
jured man fractured the nerves of his
spinal column.
DR.. Burford did all that was possible
for the sufferer and left him this
morning resting under an opiate. Be
for he reached the city, however, Mr..
Radcliffe died.
Mr.. Radcliffe was we'll known in
Glynn county, and especially in
Brunswick. He was about 81 years Of
age and was unmarried The funeral
will take place at Fancy Bluff to-mor-
row and will be attended by a number
of Brunswick people.

Kansas City, April 20.-United States
| Senator William j. Stone, addressing
the annualsconvention of the Missouri
! Democratic Press Association, to-day
| made an elaborate explanation of his
connection with baking powder legisla-
ton and enforcement of the state pure
! food laws, and bitterly denounced the
daily newspapers of the state, which
he declared had bounded him outrag
eously.
William ]. Bryan had been announc-
ed as the principal speaker of the aft
ernoon. He was received enthusiastic
ally and spoke as a country editor to
country editors. He said that through
out the country he found deep and
growing dissatisfaction among the Re
| publican voters with the policy of the
national administration, and eXhorted
! his hearers>not to make the Democratic
party so much like the Republican par
| ty that it would be easy for Republic
cans to get into it, but to keep it diff
| ferent so that in time of stress the
people would turn to the Democracy
for deliverance. Praising the state
of Missouri for its prosecution of the
packing houses, he said:
THE federal government seems to be
afraid to enforce the criminal law and
prefers the use of injunctions." Mr..
| Bryan spoke with earneStness of
| the hostility of most of the large daily
| papers to the Democratic party and
said that some of the professed Demo-
cratic papers of the East did more
harm in four years of apologizing for

He closed with a reference to the
| Missouri Legislature scandals and
! called for the punishment of every
| offending official.
| Congressman-el c. NJ. Hitchcock
of Omaha spoke briefly, and then SEN
ator Stone was introduced and at once
| took up the bribery investigation. The
| Senator who labored under intense eX-
| element protested against the perses
| cution to which he had been subjected
| by the "scavengers of the press" who
had used assassins' methods. He said:
Before God | fear them not l
| laugh in their faces and spit upon
| them!"
Senator Stone said that he had no
part in the passage of the anti-alum
law of 1899 and did not know for near
| ly a year that II had been enacted.
AS a private attorney he had assisted
in the enforcement of the state pure
food laws, and in 1901, when 1t was
proposed to repeal the anti-alum law,
he wrote an argument against repeal,
but he did not visit Jefferson City.
II swear to you / never spoke nor
wrote to any member of either house
of the Legislature concerning this mat
ter, but what l have told you," he

Senator Stone said he hoped every
guilty man would be uncovered.
In closing his address, Senator Stone

compress receipts, or what the
outcome will be a matter of guesswork.
How the bills of lading were
realized upon, whether the cotton was
sold or the bills hypothetical in bank
or held, are also questions yet
to be solved. The railroad
is alleged not to have received the cot
ton for which the bills of lading were
issued, and it's object is now to as
certain the reason IL there was failure
to deliver.
The compress receipts on which it
is alleged the bills of lading were is
sued by the Central were from the
compress company at Birmingham, of
which the active member of the ship
ping firm was president
WAS the compress company under
bond?" President Egan was asked.
Eyes, it was under a bond of &c.,
000," he replied.
If the reports that bills of lading for
900 bales have been issued upon ir-
regular receipts is true the railroad
will not be unidentified by this bond,
for the probable value of this amount
of cotton would be around 100000
A Savannah exporter is reported to
have shipped so bales of cotton from
Birmingham to a domestic mill, which
turned out 100 pounds short to the
bale. or a loss of 5000 pounds. Other
mills are looking into their recent re-
cepts to ascertain If there are any
shortages in weight, and if so, the ex-
porters handling the business will
probably soon be advised.
Considerable cotton from Birming
ham is afioat and the shortage IN
weight, if any, cannot be learned until
the controllers get hold of it on the
other side.
The sales of the Birmingham cotton
were made locally by several brokers,
and some of the cotton is reported TO
have been bought direct by the ex-
porters themselves. The next few days
promises to bring fuller developments,
and enable all interested to know
where they stand.

CENTRAL RAILROAD LOOKING
UP BIRMINGHAM COTTON.
May Be Heavy Loser In Short Weight Ship
mentS

The Central of Georgia Railway and
several large cotton mills in the South
may be heavy losers by the short
weight cotton shipped out of Birming-
ham. What at first was pre-
sumed to be an ordinary short
age in shipments appears now to be
larger than the first disclosures indi-
Gated.
When it was discovered that the Cen
trail was a probable loser further steps
were taken to investigate fully all its
transactions in connection with the
Birmingham parties against whom al
legations in connection with the short
age are made.
President John M. Egan of the Cen
trail, when asked about the reports
current on the Cotton Exchange. and
whether the railroad was loser. said
that so far nothing tangible has devel-
oped. and he could give no informa-
ton.
Claim Agent J. F. Gray of the Cen
trail has gone to Birmingham to inves-
tigate the alleged fraudulent opera
tions. He is acting on the advice of
the railways counsel here and at Bir-
mingham.
With the exporters and mills the
loss was in receiving short weight
bales, whereas the Central, according
to the runors, got no bales at ALL"
1t is alleged that on compress receipts,
the regularity of which are now the
subject of investigation, bills of lad
ing wsre issued by the railroad for
something like 600 bales of cotton,
which it is said have not been re-
ceived. Whether these were 900 imag-
inary bales, whether they are in the
present investigation to be accounted
