Road was Bailt to Deliver Coal
to Pacific Coast Points via
the Panama Canal.
BEGIN OPERATIONS JAN. +.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 29.-The Caroli-
ma, Clinchfield and Ohio railway, the
first modern high-class railway for coal
carrying ever built in the south, will
be completed between the Clinchfield
coal properties at st. Paul, Va, and
Marion, N. c., about the first day of
January, and regular freight and pas
senger service will then be inaugurated
between the Clinchfield district and the
Carolinas. 1t is officially announced
that this road is now completed be-
tween st. Paul and Marion with the ex-
ception of the steel bridge over the
Holston river at Kingsport, Tenn, and
work on this bridge is being hurried.
New engines, passenger coaches, steel
coal ears and other rolling stock have
been ordered, and a part of the equip
ment is soon to be delivered.
This road was constructed to get the
lowest percentage of grade possible, re-
gardless of the cost, and as a result
about $4,000, 600 have been spent in its
construction. Instead of winding
through the valleys, this road takes its
course on direct line across the coun.
try, in places following the tops Of the
mountains and passing over great ra.

hundred feet high. Mountains have
been tunneled in order to maintain the
percentage of grade, the longest tunnel
being nearly mile in length and pass
ing through a mountain of solid stone
near Clinchport, Va, No trestle work
can be found along this road, steel
bridges having been constructed over
all the larger stream, while the. smaller
ones are spanned by concrete arches.
II is easily the best road ever con-
structed in the south. Its Importance
is better understood when it is known
that it was constructed with view to
delivering coal for Pacific points thro'
the lsthmian canal, and when it is
stated that the promoters will lose no
time in extending it northward to the
great lakes, and providing connections
for Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities
in the west north.

BY A BAFD OF
ARMED MEN AT
sANM|LL NEAR SANBURG.
Over Fifty Shots Exchanged by
the Two Forces, One OF the
Soldiers Wounded.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 2S--A dis
patch from Union City, Tenn, to the
News-Scimitar late this afternoon con-
firms reports of an attack on detail of
militiamen by band of men, presunl-
ably night-riders, at the Gleason saw
mill near Samburg last night Ac-
cording to the dispatch, one of the 81 /
diers was wounded in the hand ard
about fifty shots were exchanged bI-
tween the military and the attacking
party.
The attack followed the firing on or
three men by soldiers who discovered
the men in the mill yard, and who,
when challenged, refused to halt. Spas
modic firing continued for several hours
and was followed at midnight by a
fusilade. When the fire was returned
by the soldiers the band, which was
composed Of about thirty men, disap-
peared. With the arrival of reinforce
ments from Camp Rankin search was
made, but none of the band could be
located. Later in the night the camp
was again aroused when man, who
was endeayoring to cross the military
lines was fired on by one Of the SEN
tries. The placing Of guards at the
Gleason mill was because of threats
that the mill would be burned if oper-
ations contiued.

be presented tomorrow. They were
not secured yesterday because of lack
of time.
One mans testimony before the
grand jury yesterday gave in detail the
death scene of Capt Quentin Rankin.
When he had been pulled up once by
the rope the night-riders let him down
and told him they would give him five
minutes in which to pray. He told
them he did not the five minutes pray.
er for himself, as he had been praying
for twenty years. When they again
made their generous offer he again de-
clined, but he said he would give that
five minutes to them, as they needed il
and>he did not.
They again pulled him up by the
rope and shot him.

THE CHRISTMAS
DINNER TABLE.

A simple arrangement for the table
is gained by using a thick holly wreath
tied on two sides with broad red ribbon
and placing in the center crystal can
delabra filled with tall candles.
Another plan is to have a centerpiece
of wedge-shaped boxes holding slices of
rich fruit cake or Christmas bonbons
with the points Of the boxes holding
rosebuds with candles. These boxes
may serve as souvenirs. A vase of
holly or mistletoe is placed in the cen
ter of the table. Little candles in star
holders can be arranged about the outer
edge of the boxes, which are tied with
red and green ribbons. The place cards
suitable for the season are laid in each
plate, while in the napkins are placed
crisp bread rolls.
For a family dinner, glass punch
bowl filled with polished fruit, may be
used for the center of the table, making
a mass of rich and glowing color. A
wreath of grapes and holly may be
placed about it and silver candlesticks
can hold the tall red candles, which
may have red shades, if one desires.
The place cards represent poinsettias.
On the napkins are placed Swedish
soup crisps, rolled into cornucopia
shape. Use the finest damask cloth
and the best china and glass.
A star of brown and green pine cones
makes another effective centerpiece,
each point ending in a fan made Of
green pine needles. At each intersec-
tiOn may be arranged small red elec-
tric-light bulb, the light being supplied
by battery hidden beneath the poin-
settia that is arranged in the center.
At each cover is placed sprig of holly.
Bonbons and menu carry out the
Christmas colors as far as practicable.

Felony to Threaten to Kill.

Felony to Threaten to Kill.
We ought to have law in our state
making it felony for any person to
wilfully and maliciously threaten to
take the life of any person, and the
punishment should be from one to five
years in the penitentiary, with the
right Of the jury trying the case to
commute the punishment to any period
in the county Jail less than twelve
months. Many of the murders COM
mitted in the state are directly tracea-
bic TO the threat of one person against
the life of another. While we have a
proceeding to bind a person. over to
keep the peace, it is not effective.
Whenever man threatens to kill an
other, and thus to take the law into
his own hands, he is an offender against
the peace and dignity Of the state, and
should be punished before he is allowed
to commit more serious crime.
Change OF Venue.
The state ought to have the right, as
well as the defendant, to change the
venue when it should appear to the
court that fair trial could not proba-
bly, be had in the county where the
crime was committed. Many of the
states already have this law. In coun-
ties where there is great deal Of law
lessness;- where men are banded togeth-
er in secret conspiracies, it is often
difficult to secure convictions, because
some Of the parties to the crime are
often selected as jurors. There are
many cases where the state ought tc
have the venue changed.
Appeals.
Under the law, any criminal has the
right to appeal to the supreme court
and the punishment can not be infiict
ed until the supreme court passes upor
the case. This is the cause Of very
great delays in the administration o
our criminal laws. Very frequently
the defendant prays an appeal wher
there is no error in the record, and tn,
case is delayed for nearly year. Th'
Virginia practice is, in my judgment
much better than ours. There the de
fendant must, before he can appeal
obtain copy of the record and presen
it to the supreme court If the judge
are of the opinion that there is probabl.
error, they grant writ of error; other
wise the appeal is refused, and tn,
judgment of the lower court goes int
effect. Our constitution guarantees t
every person charged with crime
speedy trial, and there is really littl
excuse for the interminable delays con
nected with our system Of administer
ing criminal laws. What we need i
: an aroused public sentiment, create
+ respect for law and for the courts, am
prompt and vigorous enforcement G
r the criminal laws.

authorizing justices of the peace to try
all misdemennor and petty larceny
cases and to impose the penalty with
the right of appeal in all cases to the
circuit court. The act was vetoed by
Gov. McMillin because Of some defect
in drafting it. This, in my judgment,
was a good law, and would have had
the effect of very greatly relieving the
circuit judges of many small misde-
meanor cases. In the cities the record
ers administer the law very effectively,
and there are comparatively very few
appeals from their judgments.
PistOl-Carrying.
1t has been suggested that more
drastic law should be passed to prevent
the carrying of pistol; that it should be
made felony to carry pistols in Ten
nessee. think this punishment is toe
severe, and if we had such law, il
would be difficult to secure convictions.
AS rule when the penalty is too Sc.
we're, it is difficult to get convictions. A
better law, in my Judgment, would bt
to make the same law we now have in
regard to carrying bowie-knife or Ar
kansas toothpick apply to carrying
pistols. That statute, section $3.50, pro
vides that the fine shall not be less
than $500, nor more than $500, and thai
the defendant shall be imprisoned ir
Jail not less than three months, mol
more than six months, and that the of
ficer arresting person guilty of such
offense shall be entitled to the sum o.
$50 to be taxed in the bill of costs. Thai
statute provides also that it shall be 6
felony for any person to maliciously
draw, or attempt to draw, from under
the clothes, or any place of conceal
ment about his person such weapon
for the purpose of intimidating anoth
er. Instead of making the imprison
ment as it is at present, within thu
discretion of the judge, the law should
provide that the imprisonment shall
be the penalty in every case, unless TO
some good reason the judge should sus
pend il.
l also think that the pistol should b.
confiscated to the state. 1t has Away
seemed wrong to have to give back th'
pistol to the offender.
In some way we should prevent. tn
circulation of newspapers, magazine
and periodicals containing advertise
ments for the sale of pistols. Will
nearly all of the northern periodical
condemn the practice of carrying pis
tolls in the south, they nearly all con
tain tiaring advertisements for the sal
of pistols.

BOSTON CAPITAL TO DEVELOP
LEASE ON CONSOLIDATED

across 450 feet, these veins will doubt
lcs1 be intercepted.
While the lease was granted to Mr..
Sprague, Boston capitalists have furn-
ished the money to prosecute the work.
They are represented on the ground by
Oswald Stein, who will have direct
management of the work. The syndi-
cate stands ready to furnish any
amount of capital to explore the ground,
and within "a hours after the lease was
signed, money was telegraphed to Gold
field and work begun. The 125-foot
shaft will he enlarged at once and sunk
to the 500-foot point without stopping
to prospect. A hoist will be on the
ground within week when two shifts
will be put to work.
The Boston syndicate is composed of
some Of the wealthiest capitalists Of
that city, among them director of the
Trinity Copper Mining company. 1t is
their first dip into GoldfeId, but they
are prepared to spend lot of money,
as an evidence of their faith in the
camp. Other local men interested in
the company are William NJ. Erb and
Maurice J. Fink.

RECTOR sTRIKE IMPROVES
NEWS FROM DIAMONDFIELD
RED MOUNTAIN SECTION

The Diamondfeld Red Mountain Min
ing company is working steadily with
two shifts on it's property. The shaft
has been completed to the 2O0-foot
level, and the company is now drifting
both north and south on the ledge.
Manager Codd reports that the values
received from the ledge are increasing.
The ore that is now being taken out
will average about $40 to $40 per ton.
This ore is being piled on the dumps:
and will be treated later when the com
pany gets it's mill installed, which 1T
expects to do some time this coming
year.
The Black Eagle Mining company,
which is also operating in the Red
Mountain section, has started sinking
the shaft on the Gold Quartz property.
A. A. Codd has charge of the develop,
ment work. The company is composed
of strong financial men in the east. The
property has elegant surface showings
and Manager Codd is confident that ne
can pick up the extension of the Nancy
Donaldson vein on this property.
