HEAVY ACREAGE
OF WHEAT SOWN
WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE
BEEN VERY FAVORABLE FOR
PLANTING THE GRAIN.

With favorable weather conditions
from now until the harvest time the
1909 wheat crop of Maury county will
be one of the largest that it ever
grew The acreage this fall is larger
than that of last year and weather
conditions SO far have been excep-
tionally propitious for the planting
and growing of the grain. 1t is be-
lieved that on the whole the acreage
of the county is larger now than it
has been in many years and it is fully
up to if not above the average for
the several past years. Diversified
farming has become more extensive
in this county during the past few
years and the result has been dlmu-
milton in the wheat acreage from
what it was at one time, but next
years crop should be one of the best
in many years.
The fall has been an unusually open
one While the drouth hurt the pas
lures and was in other respects dis
astrous, it proved very helpful to the
wheat planters. The ground was dry
and an excellent opportunity was
given to the farmers to prepare 1t
well and to plant their wheat at the
right time Practically all Of the
wheat of the county has been sown
and the recent rains have come at
Just about the right time. If there
can only be few days now of good
weather the plants will take
good root and be ready for the cold
weather that is to come later on.

ORLEANS HOTEL.

! NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 24.-John S

find it convenient to come for him.
He has a brother, Jeff d. Hagler, liv-
ing in Vernon, Tex, who wired the
local police to look out for the de-
mcnted man.
Hagler ran amuck on the seventh

Burnette, evidently seeing that his re-
marks were OF no avail, pleaded with
the men that if they were determined
to lynch the negroes to at least wait
until night had fallen.
Taylor Hall, a brother of the wound
ed Deputy Sheriff, followed Mr.. Bur.
nette. He said in effect that a post
ponement of the lynching until tonight
would be satisfactory to him. The
mob, however, was very restless, and
it was soon seen that it would be i'm
possible to stem the tide of feeling.
As a last resort, S. ]. Caldwell,
toWnsman and Sheriff Haynes went
before Justice Lee Davis and explained
the situation and telling Of the
menacing attitude of the crowd, which
thronged the principal streets leading
to the Jail. Justice Davis at once
agreed to open his court at O'Clock,
summon jury of twelve men and al
low the negroes. after all evidence
that could be adduced was heard, to
be duly sentenced to death
Meanwhile Gov. Patterson was adj
vised by telephone of the situation
and ordered company of militia in
this city to proceed with all haste and
if possible secure the negroes and
conduct them to a place of safety.
The troops were started at once, but
failed to arrive in time to prevent the
lynching.
At the trial only the evidence Of
those who had seen the killing was
heard and in an incredibly short time
the case was given the jury, who in a
few minutes returned a verdict OF
guilty and fixing the penalty at death.
The sentence had barely been
passed on the three negroes when the
mob, with a whoop and a yell,
swarmed the court room, and, Selling
the prisoners, rushed them to a large
tree, near the edge of town and
hanged them, firing volley after vol
ley into the air as the bodies were
drawn up from the earth,

UNION CITY, Tenn, Nov. 24.-The
little town of Tiptonyille, bordering
on Reelfoot Lake, which has been the
scene of many stirring incidents the
past month, witnessed the lynching,
late this afternoon, of three negroes,
who were arrested this morning for
numbering Special Deputy Sheriff
Richard Burrus, and fatally wounding
John Hall, a Deputy Sheriff.
The negroes names are: Marshall
Stineback, Edward Stiueback, jim
Stineback.
These brothers created a disturb
ance at a religious meeting near Tip
tonville Saturday night, and when the
1 two officers attempted to arrest them
fight ensued in which the negroes
came out victorious and made their
escape.
1t was barely daylight Sunday morn.
ing before posse of citizens from
Tiptonyille and the surrounding coun-
try were in pursuit of the negroes,
but they successfully eluded the
white men until o'clock this morn
ing, when they were surrounded and
captured in little swamp near the
village of Ridgely.
The vicinity is known as the old
river bed cane brake, and it is diff
cult matter to trace man or beast
through its tangles. Once captured,
however, the negroes, covered by a
hundred guns, were quickly landed in
jail at Tiptonyille. The negroes,
when arrested, had two guns in their
possession, but had run out OF am
munition.
The news of the capture spread rap
idly to the surrounding territory, and
in addition to the severtl hundred
members of the posse, men began
arriving by every road, and soon the
jail was surrounded by a mob which
had no hesitancy in threatening a |
lynchlng quickly and surely.
In fact it was feared at noon that
the best efforts of the officers and
townspeople could not prevent the
lynching from taking place in broad
daylight.
One of the first citizens to mount
the steps of the jail and make an ap-
peal to the mob was j. T. Brunette, a
we'll known lawyer. Mr.. Brunette re-
called the recent night rider outrages
which had disgraced the vicinity. He
admonished his hearers to do nothing
desperate and let the law take its

hat full justice would be done the

ong growl of disapproval, and Mr.. /

Alleged frauds in the election at
Culleoka on Nov. are being investi.
gated by the Grand Jury. On Tues
day there were several witnesses
from the Culleoka section before the
Grand Jury in answer TO summons
and they were closely questioned as
to the charges of fraud that have been
made at that precinct Just what
was divulged before the inquisitorial
body by these witnesses cannot of
course be ascertained for the mem
bers of the jury would not discuss the
matter and the witnesses were adj
verse to doing so.
1t is known, however, that the wit.
nesses were asked as to certain irreg.
ularities in the election at Culleoka
about which there have been numer-
GUS charges and reports since the
election. Some of the witnesses 1t
is understood were asked specifically
as to the enforcement of The provis.
ions of the Dortch law with respect
to the marking of ballots. Interest.
ing developments are expected and
should indictments be found it would
not be surprising, though of course, it

FEWER MURDERS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 23.-Refer-
ring to the lynching of Capt. Quinten
Rankin by Reelfoot nightriders and
of the killing of Senator Carmack in
Nashville as examples of disregard Of
the law, Judge John E. Mccall in his
charge to the Federal grand jury in
the United States court here today
charges citizens of the state in gen
eral on what he character1zes as the
alarming conditions which now pre-
vail He also declared that the hope
Of escaping the law on part of the
criminals determined their acts. He
added:
q am inclined to think we find this
state Of affairs existing because our
citizenship has taken so little interest
in the enforcement of our criminal
laws"
Judge Mccall told of what he char
acteTized as the brutal murder of
Capt, Quinten Rankin, one of the lead
ing citizens of nearby county," then
he took up the shooting of Senatorra
he took up the shooting down of Sena-
tor Carmack. He said:
Within one month, upon the
streets of the capital of the state, in
open daylight, another of Tennessee's
most brilliant men was shot and left
to die in the gutter. Who among us
can believe that if the perpetrators
OF either of these two offenses had |
felt that the severe penalty of the law
as applied to the real facts in each
case would surely be visited upon
them by the court without delay, they
would have been committed"

might be that there has not been SUI
ficient proof TO justify a true bill. The
members OF the Grand Jury appear tC
be determined to go to the bottn-l
Of the matter and spare neither time
nor pains in all effort to ferret out
fraud if in fact there was fraud at the
election.
1t is known that on the day of the
November election there were repeat
ed charges to the effect that election
officers at Culleoka were not strictly
enforcing the law with respect to the
marking of ballots in that the ballots
of many voters were marked. 1t was
charged that several of the voters
whose ballots were marked for them
were not incapacitated by physical
disabilities SO as to come within the
provision of the law which allows bal
lots to be marked, by persons other
than the one casting the ballot.
Doubtless these reports were re-
sponsible for the action of the Grand
Jury in deciding to make an 1nvestiga-
ton Whether or not the election at
any other precinct is being inquired
into is not known, but so far there
have not been any open charges of
Irregularities or frauds save at the
Culleoka box.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
i'll mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
Its extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
LEGATIONS of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates.
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises to excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio is one of the most reliable
sources of information.
