SETTLED AT LAST.

At last L. HI. Bateman has sue
ceeded in pacifying some of the
authorities who have SO persistent
ly tried to prevent him from i'm
proving his lot near the Methodist
Church. A little more than. q year
age. Mr.. Bateman decided to erect
a dwelling on the lot in order to be
more convenient to his business.
After he had gone TO a great deal
of trouble and expense in grading
the lot and filing the innumerable
gullies, an effort was made to stop
him, and the matter was finally
taken TO court.
The bone of contention was the
closing of the road there. While
the city fathers had often refused
to repair. the road on the ground
that it was not a legal public road
and had never been opened for q
street, Mr.. Bateman. proposed to
change the road, gravel it and build
bridge at his. own expense. he
was granted permission to do this,
but before he had completed the
work a petition was circulated to
head him off again. Another de-
lay. It seems that no action was
taken on the petition, but after Mr..
Bateman had complied with a few
suggestions, of the street commit
tee the road has been accepted.
Public sentiment has been with
Mr.. Bateman from the first, for he
has been put to a great deal of
trouble and unnecessary expense,
but through, it all he asked for no
more than was his by right of pur-
chase.

SHOW DAY IN CAMDEN.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
While watching the people who came
to see the show last Friday, we could not
help thinking that the circus crowd is the
biggest part of the show and notthe least
entertaining.
1t is an interesting study to observe the
circus crowd, for it presents humanity in
nearly all its phases. The country dea-
con and the town dude, the rural lassie
and her town sister, the long, awkward
country youth, who walks all over your
feet or knocks YOU out of his way without
even seeing you or caring continental
darn, and the Smart A lex of the town who
puffs his vile cigarette smoke into your
Face and cracks his rubber neck, chest
nutty Jokes to the disgust of all but his
kind.
Then there is a sweet old couple, hand
in hand, thinking of nobody. intruding
upon nobody, just come to town to look
at the circus, laughing and nudging each
other and enjoying the occasion to their
hearts content, and more stylish pair,
who laugh and make jests at the expense
of the simple old country couple, bat envy
them who are halfcrazy and half-stary-
ed for one hour of just such companion
ship as this happy old country couple are
enjoying; who would give half their liv-
ing and all their fnery TO walk unobserv-
ed along some shady country lane, hand
in. hand, and love and be oved-for the
human heart, whether it beats beneath q
tpeasant' s'simple frock or the royal gown
of princess, Graves to be loved, and I'M
less it is, it becomes a sordid, selfish
thing and drives to utter nothingness.
They were all here Friday--these moth
ings, and the child of nature-and if the
laugh of one warmed the soul of the other
perhaps then the show did not come II
vain. OBSERVER.

A WILD ASS BRAY.

Nashville American.
So Grant Matthews has been
making one of his characteristic
speeches at Huntingdon. Up in
East Tennessee, where he is known
nobody attaches any Importance
to anything he says, but when he
seeks to infame negroes in West
Tennessee he is liable to get into
trouble. Matthews was, caught and
clothed in Jefferson County. tits
alleged that he, was named Allen
Thurman Grant Matthews, but
when he grew to be such a rantan-
kerousradical Republican he drop
ped the Thurman part of his name
and became Allen Grant Matthews,
then A. G.. Matthews, and when he
getaway from home the Hon. Grant
Matthews.
Through speaking at country
school-houses and at Republican
powwows in the coves he developed
gift of CAB which among the rural
andilliterate egardedasoratory.
He was never elected to any Office,
but was appointed to one or two
minor positions in Knoxville and
was finally unloaded, through the
Brownlow influence, on the Mem
phis postofice, where he now holds
job. Recently he was nominated
for Congress in the Tenth district
by the Republican managers who
know what an empty honor it is.
Among those who know him in
East Tennessee there will be much
amusement over the report that
"Hon." Grant Matthews is making
speeches in West Tennessee and
advising negroes and other Repub-
licans to get their guns and fight
before submitting to the infamous
outrages of the "vile and shiny
Democracy"
It would require an abnormal
imagination to sight Grant Mat
thewswading in gore. Grantnever
shot anything more ferocious than
a shoat. He might lead a charge
on a free lunch counter, but if the
gun-play he advises should ever
occur he would shoot for home and
crawl under the bed. We know
Mr.. Matthews. 1t would be i'm
possible.for him to be the leader of
or to influence white men who are
both respectable and intelligent.
But he is admirably qualified by
the possession of certain qualities
and the lack Of others to be q mis-
chievousleader ofignorantnegroes.

idea, If the recent turn of events is

of the fature. The mere prospect
Of o good school here has been the
means of inspiring renewed conf
aenee, and the town begins to show
new life. New improvements have
been made, others are under way,
and stillothers are contemplated

GHRoNIgLE understood the situa-
tion last year. We had the best
Interests of the town at heart as

citizens avoided the folly CT last

Each reader can draw his own con-
illusions. We can not recall the
