We're not caused by reform legislation,

by reckless operations in high finance,
by calamity, and by certain striking,

Clarksville


A correspondent in another column
tells something of the conditions Of
affairs in GAINESVILLE and Montgome-
~ county.
Formerly this delightful little city
was place to live in, city Of homes,
withal prosperous and energetic in
its industries. everybody satisfied
and everybody happy. Tobacco,
which has given GAINESVILLE both
money and reputation for nearly a
hundred years, was raised, bought
and sold equitably and everybody
got rich off it.
What black spirit has hung its
blacker pail over fair GAINESVILLE?
Is money, that root of all evil, the
cause Of this transformation?
What possesses these once reputa-
BILE and law-loving and abiding peo-
Pile?
The spirit Of intolerance seems to
have dominated a certain set, till
rule or ruin has become the slogan.
The law is disreg arded, human life
and property too frequently destroy
ed and life in that happy valley has
become burden and property valu-
less.
One-tenth of the men of GAINESVILLE
sleep nightly with an eye of expec-
fancy open to possible danger to life
and property or even to loved ones,
for there is no regard for age, con-
dition or sex. Tomorrow another
relief takes its place, and so for a
year and more has this unsettled
condition troubled and well nigh de-
stroyed that once happy community.
The officials fail in their duties,
the juries hesitate in theirs, and law
is only on the statute books and not
operative.
There is no republic, so far as
GAINESVILLE can enjoy. Anarchy rules,
the power of might in the night is
dictator, and the situation absolute
ly deplorable. Is there to be no end
by the laws demand and enforce
ment? Is there not one official in
Montgomery county ready to reach
out and save that fair county from
destruction? 1t is not too late. If
negotiations between factions fail,
the State should step in where the
county will not, and it is taken by
somebody.
This is not politics-it is people,
life, liberty, peace and contentment
that the laws of the land, both State
and National, guarantees to every
man who may take refuge in Ameri-
ca. How much more, then, should
the laws strong arm be put out to
protect those who themselves have
! bled for their country and whose
fathers and forefathers first settled
the country. Nashville American.
