BOSS BROWNLOW.
Efis Unfair Treatment of West

following review of how Boss
Brownlow has snubbed the faith

their political pie to his imported
relatives and tools. With apollo

may not be fit matter for Demo-
cratic columns, but by its repro
duction in The CHRONICLE Benton
County Republicanswill be shown
how and by whom the Federal pie
counter is manipulated in Ten
nessee:
"The events which have led to
SO disorganizing the forces of the
Republican party in the Eighth
district have already been pub
lished in extenso in the columns
OF the Commercial Appeal. The
resignation of A. A. Hornsby from
the chief deputyship of United
States Marshal Frank S. Elgin
was whispered over the hills-and
hollows of the old Eighth several
weeks in advance. of its actual oe-
currence. There was then rat
thing Of dry bones among the hun
CRY faithful, and a stampede of
party war horses in the direction
of. the we'll provendered stall
which was to be vacated. There
were half a score of faithful part
isans from the Eighth district,
not to mention those from the
Ninth and Tenth, who looked up
on their claims to the place as in
defeasible. They pointed to long
years of service in the party traces
when there was not even sugges-
tion of reward. They had whoop-
ed it up all along the line for the
good Of the party, and their throats
were dry with shouting. They
looked upon each other and smack
ed their lips. They could fairly
taste the feed that was coming.
"But then came a thunderbolt
out ofya clear sky. Boss Brown
low reached over their heads and
placed,a rank outsider in the COW
eted position. Their anger was
not lessened when it was learned
that this rank outsider was Boss
Brownlow's own son-in-law. And
it was famed to fury when they
learned that to make room for this
same son-in-law of this redou bta-
BILE boss there had been evident
and, manifest cOllusion all down
the line of his henchmen; that Mr..
Hornsby's resignation was to be
paid for by his appointment to the

that this son-in-law's sister was to

BARN BURNERS
And Robbers Captured by Off
GERS in Humphreys County.

The mystery which has caused
much suppressed excitement at
Sycamore Landing on Tennessee
River is about to be cleared up,
at least several arrests have been
made and others will follow.
Afew weeks ago The CHRONICLE
published an article taken from the
Clifton Mirror giving an account
of anonymous letters being sent to
Dennis Jones, member of the
firm of j. d. Jones & Co., at Syc-
amore Landing. The writer Of
these letters stated that unless Mr..
Jones deposited the sum of 81 800
in specie in bag at a designated
spot on a certain night he would
be assassinated.
These demands only served to
arousethe indignationof Mr.. Jones
and his friends, and every effort
was made to apprehend the per-
petrators of these dastardly and
cowardly threats. Mr.. Jones Sc
cured the services of G. s. d. Hawk
ins, a detective of Milan, and after
several weeks of patient efforts and
deligent work they have succeeded
in getting sufficient evidence to
warrant the arrest of several men
who may or may not be connected
with the efforts to secure money of
Mr.. Jones. Now we come to the
interesting part of the story, of
which this is sequel.
Early last spring the barn of
Clint Fowlkes ut Barkerville was
destroyedby fire, theorgin of which
was unknown. A few weeks later
the store of j. d. Jones & Co. at
SyeamoreLa Landingwas broken into
and robbed. In a short time the
store of M. r. Dean at Buffalo was
also broken into and robbed.
Determined efforts were made to
capture the barn burners and rob-
bers. County officers, assisted by
bloodhounds, spent sometime in
trying to locate the guilty parties,
but their efforts proved futile.
1t was about the first of j uly that
Dennis Jones received the anony-
nous letters stating that if he did
not leave large sum of money at
certain place in a given time he
would be assassinated.
In his efforts to capture the au-
thor of the threatening letters, Mr..
Jones left sack of rocks at the
place designated, and he and sew
eral of his friends, who. were we'll
armed, lay in wait near by, but the
"game" was suspicious and failed
to show up.
When Mr.. Hawkins, the detect
i've, went to Sycamore he lay in
waitnear the bag of rocks onenight
and overheard a conversation
which gave him clue. He had
himself arrested and placed in jail
at Waverly He was soon on good
terms with the prisoners confined
there, and in this way information
wassecured which was deemed suf-
ficient to warrant the arrest of j.
M. Owens, charged with burning
the barn of Clint Fowlkes; of
Dock and Elmer Stewart, charged
with robblng the store OF D.. ID.
Jones & Co., and of j. VI. and Bill
Owens, charged with robbing the
store of M. r. Dean.
The writer of the threatening
letters to Mr.. Jones is still at large,
but the officers have relaxed none
of their vigilance in an effort to
capture him. The above named
prisoners were captured by Sheriff
OBarr and placed in Jail at War
verify, failing to make bond, toawait
the action of circuit court.

through the death Of Judge Ham
mond, the hand of Boss Brownlow
moved in the dark again, and man
from the Eighth district was given
the high appointment. And they
recalled how gratefully each hun
cry partisan of the old Eighth
basked in the reflected rays shed
from the escutcheon of his favor
ed son.
THE LAST STRAW.
"And then expectation wasagape
in the Eighth. The clerk of the
United States District Court at
Memphis was a capable man, a
fine fellow, in every way fitted for
the position he held except-he
was a Democrat. Of course, the
newly appointed son of the Eighth
would replace him with one of the
hungry faithful from the Eighth
district. But alasl groan of an
guish arose out of the midst of
their self-congratulation; for the
son of the Eighth appointed the
$500 cashier of the Memphis
postofice to the coveted place
this man who had been sent down
from the mountains of East Ten
nessee by Boss Brownlow as the
pioneer of his colony of carpet
baggers in West Tennessee.
"And then, to think that when
q vacancy occurred in the Office of
the United States Marshal, him
self an Eighth district man and
virtually an appointee of Boss
Brownlow, he filled that vacancy,
or permitted it to be filled, with a
man from East Tennessee, to the
dishonor and despoiling of the
faithfulof the Eighth; and justto
think, further, that in order to
| create this vacancy in the mar
shal's Office the promise of ap-
pointment to the position of ref
cree in bankruptcy was made to
the retiring deputy by the boss's
appointee upon the bench-the
Old Guard in the Eighth groaned
and gritted its teeth in exaspera-
ton and disgust.
"And then the Old Guard awoke
to something else. The logical
Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Eighth district is the
brother of the boss's appointee
upon the Federal bench in Mem
phis. If anything lacked to rem
der the disgruntling Of the Old
Guard in the Eighth district COM
plete, this reflection supplied it.
"Throughout West Tennessee
the disaffection has spread. OF
what use is it, the faithful are ask
ing, that we stand the heat and
burden of the day? Towhat end
do we carry torches and holler?
Wherefore shall we continue to
shout and to laborin the trenches,
hoping against hope for reward,
when we see the reward snatched
from beneath our noses in the
hour of triumph and dished out to
the alien and the invader from the
distant district where the boss and
his henchmen and his relatives
abide?'
"And out Of this has come the
reinsurance of. the Democracy in
several quarters. 1t is apparent
that Mr.. Sims has a walk-over in
the Eighth. 1t is'likely also that
the Inevitable split in Republican
ranks will minimize the power of
any possible combination for the
distribution of patronage between
the Democratic machine and the
Boss, and evidence of which their
opponents claim to have discov-
cred in the Isbell. matter in this
