An HOnored Guest.

Hickman was honored on Monday of
this week by visit from Hon. Charles
Gibbs, formerly of Tennessee but now
a resident on the Pickett place, seven
miles southwest on the Dyersburg road.
Mr.. Gibbs is living retired life, happy
and contented. hale and hearty at the
ripe old age of II years In the present
day and generation the name OF Charles
Gibbs IS not much known, but there
was time in Tennessee when that
name was one the people loved to con-
jure with when it brought power and
honor to its friends and ignominy and
defeat to its enemies. In the late six
ties and early seventies the owner of
that name was one of the most prom =
nert figures in the political history of
the state. He was known throughout
its length and breadth as a man of most
wonderful resources. with an intimate
knowledge of all the great men of his
day, the polish of a thorough gentle
man. containing the blood OF the old
southern aristocracy, having a forceful
character, striking personality, a thor
ough knowledge OF the leading questions
of that time. and oratorical prowess

before the people. He was twice elected
secretary of state of Tennessee, and

Murder al Oakton.

James Edwards, aged 40 living at
Oakton. KY. eight miles north of Cayce,
was shot and Instantly killed by man
named White. last Saturday evening at
8 o'clock. Four shots were fired in all,
each one taking effect. The remains of
Edwards were taken To Mayfieid and
buried IN the Robbins Cemetery Sun
day. He was formerly a resident of
Fulton county, having worked in the
year l. OF as a farmer foI r NJ. Ballew,
near Alexander. Beside widow, the
deceased leaves four children to mourn
his untimely death.
1t seems that the trouble arose over
the driving of some stock by White
through Edwards yard. and that White
had been warned not TO do SO again.
The men met SATURDAY. evening and
Edwards accused White of again tres
passing on his property, which accuse
ton was denied by White. This led to
further accusations and deuials. finally
the lie was passed, and White deliber
ately shot Edwards through the heart
killing him instantly. After Edwards
fell White deliberately shot three more
bullets into his PROSTATE form. The
killing has created much excitement in
the vicinity of Oakton. where Ed
wards was well known, and much indig-
nation is felt towards White. who il
Is claimed was to blame for the whole
affair. He was Immediately arrested
and placed in Jail at Clinton.
White is practically stranger in the
neighborhood, he having lately arrived
from Breathitt county. aud nothing
much is known concerning him.
White has retained Bullock and
Smith OF Clinton to defend him. He
claims that he acted an self defense
Edwards, Re says. was advancing upon
him with his hand in his pocket when
he shot. Speaking of the affair, the
Clinton Gazette says:

Hon Robert ". Bonvouge. re- publican member of congress from Colorado, also states that it is joint statehood or no statehood, and voted for the bill because he saw any other kind was impossible.
 Denver, Col, Aug l, 1904. Hon B. $. Rodey, Albuquerque, N.
 NJ.
 My Dear Mr. Rodey-Your letter of July 2Sth was duly received.
 Personally I favor separate state hood for Arizona and New Mexico. and should have been very glad to have seen such a measure pass. I became convinced, however that the only statehood possible for for New Mexico and Arizona was joint statehood, and I became sat isfed also that such a measure would pass not only the house but also the senate. I therefore voted for the joint statehood bill, believ- ing that was the only measure on [ h e subject which could pass. Everyone familiar with legislative matters knows that large part of all legislation is the result Of conn promise. Even the constitution of the United States, as is we'll known was adopted through compromises effected between conflicting in- terests. The views Of senators on the question Of statehood for the territories are we'll understood and it is known that regardless of which political party may be suc- cessful in the campaign, the only bill which can pass the senate is a joint statehood bill

Joint Statehood.

The Citizen of Albuquerque pub lished two letters relating to the much mooted statehood question. The Citizen says:
 Hon. John A. Sterling, repuhli- can member of congress from the seventeenth Illinois district, and q member of the committee on terri. tories of the house of representa- tives, tells New Mexicans that 1t is joint statehood or no statehood.
 Bloomington, H., July 30, 1904. Hon. B. s. Rodey, Albuquerque,
 N. N.
 Dear Sir and Friend:-As a member of the committee on terri tories I took an active interest in the statehood bill and feel that l know something Of the sentiment of congress on the question of joint or separate statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. Sentiment is strong and firm against two states. In my judgment congress will never consent to any proposi- ton other than the union of these two territories into one state if ad- mitted. You are aware that some very strong men in the house were opposed to admission on any terms, but waived their conviction be- cause of the fact that the bill pro- vides for one instead of two states.
 It is a matter of population and the future possibilities of popula- ton. It is useless to point to other states small in population It has become apparent that the admission of some of the states was a mistake. The admission of Ne vada was unfair to all the other states To give to those few peo- pie all the power of 3 sovereign state in national governments un- reasonable and illogica. Congress will net repeat these mistakes lt vii segarc them as preceden5s e ] be shlaDec abheg thal followed
