The News is non-political, advoca-
ting the intelligent use of the ballot
instead of blind partizanism, but this
week its attention is called to q @ittle
partizanism ON the democratic side OF
the scale, which is peculiarly exasper-
ating as the democratic party of Ten
nessee is supposed to be sans peur ct
sans reproache. The point at issue is
the position assumed, so we hear, by
one ex- senator, sometimes mentioned
as dad -lam-it" Beene, that Sequa-
chez is republican stronghold and
therefore by not holding registration
republican voters will disfranchize
themselves by neglecting to go TO JAS
per to register. Now, as we have said
before, the News is non.poli tical and
advocates no party in preference to an
other, but at the same time we do not
abandon, in not advocating party,
the right to criticise chickanery or
trick politics of any kind or on any
side, and hence we emphatically advise
every republican in Sequachee, or in
the voting precinct of the 7th district,
to get on his horse, mare, mule, bug
gy, velocipede, bicycle balloon or No.
IFS, and go down to the city of Jasper
this week and REGISTER. 1t is nat
ural to suppose our democratic friends
will do so, too. We shall do so, in
order to enable us to cast our votes in
the coming elections next year for any
man we want, republican, democrat,
populite, socialist or ''prohib, In col
or varying from dark maroon to pea
green.
We hope our republican friends will
take this gentle hint and do 40, Just
to show Mr.. Beene that voting is
a business with them.
As far as Sequachee is concerned it
is only the first step to deprive us of a
voting precinct, as we suppose no sep
arate books will be kept at Jasper for
recording Sequachee voters. Our
town, however, Is 80 fast losing its
prestige as being some punkins, that
the abandonment of 1t as voting pre-
cinct would hardly be called an "as.
tonisher." Hard knocks seem to be
the heritage of this place Of fond illus,
ions, lapsing over the interval Of sew
enteen years. Pretty good wait, is it
notS And now, forsooth, they dom t

Sequachians generally condemn the
boarding up of the Blowing Spring
Cave for the purpose Of keeping a few
melons cool. The site Of the Blowing
Spring was laid off as public park,
for the enjoyment Of the citizens Of
the town, and we very much doubt if
it is included in the acreage assessed
against the owners Of Sequachee. If
not, they have no legal right to board
it up in this arbitrary manner. The
Blowing Spring as retreat for cool
ness and pleasure has been greatly en-
ioyed by our people, and outsiders
have resorted to it in great numbers.
In fact it is the only attractive place
for summer resort in the section, and
instead of discouraging people from
coming to it, every effort should be
made to make it more attractive.
From an artistic standpoint the rough
boards across the front are not enhanc-
ing to the natural beauty of the place,
and the spirit shown that the party
authorizing this action can do any,
thing he pleases, regardless of the
former privileges of the citizens is
not an enthusiastic subject of public
comment. However in few wears
from now the personal of the town will
again be changed. The parties now in
power will still be here, we suppose,
and the people who are anxiously a.
waiting the development of the town
will be driven elsewhere. IL is the
history of the place in the past, and
no doubt it will continue so. If ever
a town wanted TO grow it is Seaua-
chee, but sit hasn't yet, and we
don't know when it will.
The State is going after the owners
of coal lands, who, with constantly
appreciating value in such property,
have escaped with light tax. Too many
companies have been holding vast
areas of such land for years in an un-
developed state, Just because the tax
on 1t was very meager. An interesting
point in taxation might be- raised To-
cally 1t seems that Sequachee was
once plotted ont in city style, and the
plan placed ON record After the Sc
quachee Valley Coal q Iron Company
owning it was wrecked and the stock
holders left with nothing but vague
reminders of the greatness that had
been, the land was thrown into acre
age. Thus the question comes up
Does the acreage consist Of lots only :
If so what about the streets as laid
out! If they are not included in the
acreage they are not taxed, and if they
are not taxed the Sequschee concern
now operating is getting the use of
acres and acres of land rent free and
tax free. See the point ;

never was blessed with more motley
set They were of all sizes lengths and
previous condition of servitude. They
descended from the heavyweight Of the
sherff's office to the lightweight that
presdes over the clerks office; from the
SIX foot three of the auditors office to
the average citizen connected with the
treasurer's office. They might have been
taken for troupe of Don Quixotes and
Sancho Panzas.
Well, the crowd followed this gang to
the ball grounds, which they filled fully
600 strong, and hoOted and yelled them
selves hoarse. OF the game we will
simply state that it stood at the end of
the seventh inning - to 10 in favor of
the court house team. The printers are
a liberal class of men. They care nothing
for trifing matter like a baseball
game. 1t was understood beforehand
that they would play up to a certain
point and then let the court house aggre-
CATION take the hOnOrs. This they did
They had the fun, and the honor in such
a game, under such an umpire, with such
a scorer Gall connected with the court
house), is an unknown quantity and ia
hardly worth taking into account
The gate receipts amounted to $1O9.
This money goes to the band and they
netted at least 800. The money is to
be put to good purpose. Our citizens
enjoyed a sideshow, while the money
taken in will remain at home. There
have been many ball games in Colfax but
none ever quite equaled the one of last
Friday.

Fined and Jailed.

Ernest G. Potter appeared before
Judge Chadwick Saturday, pleaded guilty
to the charge of carrying a concealed
weapon and was fined $75 and ordered
confined in the county jail for Is days.
He is the young man who asked Miss
Minerva Taylor to 60 riding with him
a week ago last Saturday, and upon her
refusal opened the lapel of his coat, show
ing a six-shOoter and broadly intimat.
ing that he might use it il she did not
comply with his wishes. Owing to there
being no witnesses present but Miss
Taylor no other charge could be placed
than carrying concealed weapon, al
though a threat was implied if not
directly made, and it would seem that he
is getting off easy. Perhaps he will con-
clude to behave himself.

Colfax Closes Shop and Enjoys the
tun--A Baseball Game With
Pyrotechnics Thrown IN.
The umpire He did his best let
us forgive what is left of him

The baseball game last Friday between
the printers and the court house team
drew forth a big crowd 1t was iolly,
good natured gathering, on fun intent
and right royalty did they enjoy all the
events. We make use OF the word
events" advisedly. While it was ad-
vertised abroad as common, every day
game OF baseball, it was that and much
more, for the two teams rigged up in
qualntest fashion, scarcely any two men
appearing alike, and paraded the streets
OF Colfax in fashion that put to blush
the circus parade witnessed last week.
Not only clowns but the baby elephant
was in the parade.
The COlfax Band entered with en-
thusiasm into the scheme and headed
the procession dressed in hayseed cos
tunes. Mayor Pattison led the band.
On his back he carried a label printed in
large letters, "This is the umpire" His
head was decked with an old white
beaver hat, relic of the Cleveland cam
paigns of other days. He carried long
barreled Kentucky rife and brace of
pistols, reminder that his authority
was supreme. Policeman Eiklor had an
imprOvised corporation, false beard
and wig, and made a ponderous and fe-
rocious looking policeman as he dubbed
the country iakes into line. The print
ers headed their team with a banner
labeled "pennant," which in reality was
an old print-shop towel, covered with
ink and in the usual condition such
articles are found where movable types
are used. Then followed a gang of
brake beamers and box car rusters that
were certainly the envy of their tribe.
They appeared to be harmless, however,
and in the subsequent events of the game
they did not belle their looks. The
court house team brought up the rear.
1t was motley crew. Old Jack Falstaff

same in regard to us. After consulting
with the officers, all OF whom urged me
to the step as the only means in their
opinion OF securing the safety of the
command, | concluded to abandon
everything that might impede our march.
Accordingly we set out about 10 O'Clock
in good order, leaving the disabled
animals and such as were not in condi-
ton to travel so far, and with deep pain
| have to add, the two howitzers.
The necessity of this last measure will
give you, as we'll as many words, the
conception Of the strait to which we be-
lleVed ourselves to be reduced. Not an
officer OF the command doubted that we
would be overwhelmed with the first rush
Of the enemy upon our position in the
morning; to retreat further by day, with
our wounded men and property, was out
OF the question; to retreat slowly by
night equally so, as we could not then be
IN condition to fight all next day. 1t
was therefore necessary to relieve our
selves OF all membranes and to fiy. We
had no horse able to carry the guns over
80 miles without resting, and if the
enemy would attack us en- route. es,
from their ferOcity, we certainly expected
they would, not a soldier could be spared
from any other duty than skirmishing.
For these reasons, which | own can
didly seemed to be more cogent at the
time than they do now, | resolved to
bury the hOwitzers. What distresses me
is that no attempt was made to bring
them off and all | can add that if this
was an error Of Judgment it was com
mitted after the calmest discussion OF
the matter, in which believe every off
Ger agreed with me-
Colonel Steptoe had five officers and
152 soldiers in his command, six sol,
diers and two officers being killed.
Nearly 100 Indians were left dead or
wounded on the field. We should look
forward to the erection OF this monu-
ment with feelings OF pride, and let it be
so high that it can be seen as a beacon
light from all the surrounding eminences.

ONE YEAR IN THE PEN.
Q. G. BiffIe Pleaded Guilty Monday
Afternoon to Forgery.

0. Q. Bittie is a young man only "a
years OF age who pleaded guilty in the
superior court Monday afternoon to
forgery and was sentenced by Judge
Chadwick to one year in the pen. The
Offense took place last Saturday at
ROsalia. What makes the matter worse
he has young wife. The Bitiies arrived
from Arkansas about two months ago
and the young man has been working
since that time for j. L. Worthington, a
well to do farmer living near Rosalia. 1t
appears that he and his wife desired to
return to Arkansas and not having
the expediency OF issuing two checks of
$50 each in favor of j. w Shrieve, signed
by Mr.. WOrthington and indorsed by
Shrieve. Shrieve, it appears, worked at
the Worthington farm with him. There
are two banks at ROsalia and Biffie made
the checks out on the Bank of ROsalia,
MIR. Worthington doing business at the
other bank. He presented one check at
the bank, payment on which was refused.
He then tore it up and presented the
other, which was his undoing and led to
his arrest. He was brought here Satur-
day and locked in Jail, his wife coming
with him. At first he claimed that he
bought the checks of Shrieve, paying 500
for them. When asked why Shrieve
didn't go to the bank and draw the full
amount himself, as check by Worth
ington is considered good, be replied that
Shrieve wanted the money then and the
bank was closed. He finally acknOwl-
edged his shortcomings and pleaded
guilty as above stated.
Biffis does not appear to be over
bright, hence the bungling manner in
which the business was done. He bas
written to his father in Arkansas to
assist him, but it is hard to see what the
elder Biffi can do.
