The hearing of the Two women and

cover the continually increasing
expenditures on the army, is
contemplating the establishment
of government monopolies in the
sale Of cigarettes, matches and
alcohol, The Lokal Anzeiger
says that the government origi-
nally intended to rely on other
sources Of revenue for this pur-
p ,se, but opposition from several
of the federated states was en-
countertd.

Bad Business.

Asaresult Of investigations
begun few weeks ago BY Coun-
ty Superintendent W. A. Malone
it has developed that five or six
of Madison cornty's handsom e
new high schools, built during
the past few years at costs rang
ing from $3.50 to $4,000, aud
two new colored schools, have
been erected on land owned by
private individuals.
The investigation discloses the
startling fact that between $25,
600 and $4,000 Of the county
funds had been expended in the
erection of buildings on sites for
which deeds had hot been Sd
cured. It was ascertained that
in reality, private individuals
owned the two larges high schools
in the county and several of the
smaller ones, though tho hand
some structure had been erected
with county money.
After working quietly for sew
eral days, Superintendent Ma
lone yesterday had persuaded all
but three of the owners OF the
high school sites to deed the
properties to the county board
Of education. Negotiations are
underway for the transfer OF the
the three remaining sites. Jack

Work of Mob.
Negro rlurderer at Union
City Caught and Lynch
ed by Mob Said to Con-

John Grinston, "a, negro impli
Gated in the killing early today
of Samuel Mcclure, Union CITY
citizen, was dragged from his
home by a mob of 700 people
shortly after the noon hour ant
hanged over a telephone cable In
front of the county jsil.
In a statement to the mob
shortly before the moose was ap
piled to his neck, Grinston de.
|clared that another negro named
Red" Taylor, and who was with
him when the attempt was made
to rob the Mcclure home, actual,
ly did the shooting. The mot
made no comment, but coolly
and quietly proceeded to hang
him.
Mcclure, awakened from his
sleep by the noise Of the intru.
ders, attempted to resist them.
In the gun fight that ensued Nc
Olure's tongue was ahot out. He
died at IL O'Clock.
A posse composed Of citizens
and officers aroused by the snoot-
Ing chased the negroes across
swamps and canebreaks at the
edge of the city, aud then LOST
them. In their haste to get
way the negroes dropped a shot
gun they carried, which bore the
name of Grinston's brother. A
call at the negro's home elected
the information that John Grin.
ston had borrowed the gun and
had appeared at the house to
change his clothing.
Bloodhounds were hastily Sc
cured from Hickman, KY, and a
search for the suspect was be
gun. Grinston was found hiding
in the loft Of his home. He was
dragged out and taken down
town. Twenty minutes later his
dead body swung from a tele.
phone cable. No effort was
made by the officers to stay the
lynching.
Late this afternoon it was
learned that Taylor, seriously
shot by Mcclure, was in hiding
near Hickman. A posse imme-
diately set out for that city and
and it is feared that another
lynching will follow if the negro
is apprehended.

Senator Lea's
Paper
Places Responsibility for
Legislative Situation on
Governor Hooper.

4
The Nashville Tennessean aud
American Of last Saturday con-
tanned the following editorial:
The passage Of the amendment
to the election law in the house
Friday bv a vote Of 80 to AZ is
clearly indicative of what may
be expected to be done.
The cause of this is not hard
to- find. 1t is traceable to one
source and only one, and that
source is Governor Hooper's ar
bitrary policy in breaking faith
with the combined strength
which organized the Fifty-elghth
general assembly, and which had
the power, il maintained, to do
much in the way Of enrcting pro-
gressive laws, and to prevent
the impairment Of the election
or temperance laws.
This paper has fought day in
and dav out for law enforcement
and for the preservation, main
tenance and perpetuation of the
present election and temperance
laws. We have been for these
laws and the vital principle of
law enforcement throughout the
long struggle for better condi-
tions in Tennessee, and we stand
as firmly and resolutely for these
things now as the most jealous
Of their advocates and champi( :
but taking a practical view o.
the situation we cordially com
mend the agreement to allow the
law indicated to remain unim-
paired and undisturbed, to the
end that other important legis-
lation might be enacted, and
that ultimately the temperance
laws might become effective
throughout the state through the
operation of q law like the Webb
law and lEneed be to be further
strengthened by legislation in
future legislatures.
A careful count Of noses after
the November election showed
that the republicans aud the in,
dependent democrats constituted
helpless, impotent and hope.
less minority. Without addi-
tional strength it was obvious
the combined strength of the
Independents and the republi-
cans would remain q minority

and be powerleJs to do anything

ahd be powerle,s to do anything
but fortunately there were a
number of important matters
which were Of common interest
to the Shelby county delegation,
the republicans and the indie
pendent democrats, aud there
fore a triple alliance was made.
The result of that alliance was
that Patterson was defeated for
the United States senate, Dibrell
was defeated for comptroller,
and the independents and the
republicans were awarded what
they asked for in the election of
officers.
| Conscious of the fortune that
had come their way in having
their forces strengthened by af-
filiation from the Shelby county
delegation The friends Of these
laws felt that it would be a vic.
tory to preserve the temperance
and election laws. They felt
'
that they had won a signal victo.
ry III all agreement to not only
preserve these laws but to do
many other things that were OF
common interest to the three ell.
ements constituting the alliance
and they were going right on in
a forward movement that prom
ised much good for the state,
and all was well until Governor
Hooper broke faith, destroying
the alliance and dissipating the
united forces, thus by his arbi
trary and unwise course, convert
ing a dominant ard controlling
majority into helpless minority.
The responsibility for the sit.
uation that now confronts the
Legislature rests on Governor
Hooper alone.
The probability of the repeal
of the election and temperance
laws was caused by Governor
Hooper when he attempted IL
perform the impossible feat OF
passing his law enforcement bills
for this act on his part estranged
the Shelby county delegation
ard drove them into the other
camp, leaving the republicans
and the independents powerless
TO protect themselves or the laws
they are pledged to defend and
preserve.
This action on the part Of Gov.
ernor Hooper will probably lose
to the people Of the state the
fruits Of a long and hard battle

Storm No. 2.
Greater In Loss Of Life
and Property than that
of Mar ch | 5 S weeps
Over the Country from
Texas to Pennsylvania.

y
Texas to Pennsylvania
] A storm having the character
istics Of both the tornado or hur
ricane and the cyclone, leavin,
Ia fearful trail Of death and de-
vaatation in ito path even great
er than that attending the SINH
lar visitation Of the 18th inst,
swept over the United States
from Texas to Pennsylvania, il
the main, on the night Of Thurs
day and the morning Of Friday
Of last week. The storm seemed
to have had its origin in the
western part Of the Gulf Of Mex,
leo and sweeping over Texas
Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Missouri. Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio and New York,
leaving more or less Z trail OF
death in each state and a prop.
erty loss that was early estimat.
ed to reach into the millions OF
dollars.
In our own state, the loss OF
property was greater than IN the
storm of the 18th, but The loss OF
life less. The town of Murfrees.
boro, Rutherford county, alone.
sustained Q loss estimated at
$500, 900 and one person was kill.
ed. Trenton, Gibson county,
suffered q property loss Of $l5,.
900 to $4,000 aud there was
much other damage in Gibson
county. Other Tennessee towns
and sections, including the city
of Memphis, did not escape.
The town of Lower Peachtree,
Alabama, mourns the death OF
eighteen persons and at no other
point was the death toll SO
heavy. The whole loss of hu-
man life is estimated to reach in
the hundreds with many more
injured in ad lition to being left
homeless.
This storm in Lexington and
throughout Henderson county
seemed to be one Of great vio-
lence but fortunately did no es.
pecial damage in addition to the
one which had preceded it just
one week. The heavy wind
which shook the strongest hous-
es to their very foundations, was
accompanied by . downpour Of
rain the like Of which many say
has never before fallen in this
section. The excessively hard
rain fell without slackening for
some forty minutes or more and
the damage to lands which had
been plowed for the spring plant
ing can hardly be estimated
Thursday night Of last week was
one of terror to our people who
feared a repetition Of the cyclone
of the 18th inst. Many in Lex.
ington did not retire until near.
ly 3 o'clock In the morning of
Friday, The people Of Lexlng'
ton who had spent their lives
without knowledge of the actual
terror Of disastrous storm now
know the feeling and many
day and night will pass before it
leaves them, If ever.
