Citizens Try To
Prevent Burning.

The terrible manner ia (which the
negro murderer, McIlhenny, met
his death recently at Estill Springs,
over in Middle Tennessee. was
sought to be prevented by citizens
there who did prevail on the mob
to take the negro to the edge ef
town instead Of burning him to
death on the main street. But moth
ing short of the life of the negro and
that taken by torture would satisfy
the infuriated mob when there was
no question of the fact that three
young white men, hardly more than
boys were shot down without warm
ing by the negro to whom they had
not said a word and whom they
did not know. Two boys lived long
enough to make that statement and
the negro stated before he was burn
ed to death that he had got" the
wrong boys--and he wished he
might live long enough to kill three
others who had run him one night
with rocks. While the provocation
was great and the life of the black
brute shoul have paid the forfeit. it
would have been much better had
his life been taken by the law. How
ever, we, at a distance cannot judge
the feelings Of white Southern
community, when two Of its
young men are murdered in cold
blood and without the slightest
cause by a brute in human form.

Exemption Boards
Must Cut Expenses.

Retrenchment of the strictest Or

suit of orders directed to them from
Provost Marshal-Gen Crowder.
These orders have just been receiv-
ed by Governor Rye and forwarded
to Maj. Rutledge Smith.
The latest orders from Gen. Crow
der greatly emphasize the necessity
in holding expenditures Of the vari-
GUS Offices to the minimum. 1t is
pointed out that during the month
Of February the country will begin
to feel the brunt of the financial
load, and consequently reductions
in every possible manner will be
necessary. The orders further di-
rect disbursing officers who have
not made estimates for the month
of February to do so at once.
The order emphatically directs
the various boards to cut the force
of clerical workers to one salaried
clerk. Officers of the various boards
are cautioned not to exceed the rate
Of 80 cents for the hourly pay Of
employees.
Officers of the boards are further
advised that a literal compliance
with all regulations Of the war de-

Mr.. J. S. Beasley, one 0f the most
prominent Republicans in Tennes-
see and former chairman of the
state executive committee, gave out
a statement to-day strongly urging
that no ticket for the appellate
courts be nominated by his party
this year. He gives a number OF
reasons that have led him to give
this advice to the members of his
party and suggests that the state
committee be called together at an
early date and the subject be dis
posed Of. His statement follows:
To the Republicans of the State:
Since the last meeting of the
state Republican executive commit
tee have been frequently consult
ed by prominent Republicans, here
and elsewhere, as to the advisability
of nominating a ticket for judges
Of the appellate courts, and by way
Of reply to these, as well as to give
public expression to my personal
convictions, ! desire to say that Il
-
am not inclined to look with favor
upon such action at this time for
several reasons.
In the first place. the country
is involved in a tremendous war.
and all parties are united on the
question paramount to the public
mind. For weeks the members Of
the bar Of every political faith have
slabored together harmoniously to
aid the government and those sub
ject to service in the classification
of the main force Of the nation, and

OF the present candidates for these
offices were considered worthy Of
our party's endorsement and sup
port eight years ago, and have fully |
sustained and discharged the trust
reposed in them to fairly and i'm.

without prejudice or political bias.
After eight years of service their
personal and official integrity is
without reproach or political criti-
cism and their efficiency is certain

Administrator CaSOn
After Flour Hogs.

James H. Cason, Food Admins
traitor for Henderson county, was
instructed last week to commence a
hunt for flour hogs in the county
those selfish citizens who are such
excellent providers that they have
laid in barrels of flour-if indeed,
we have any hogs of that kind. The
government is encouraging the null
tiplication of hogs in Henderson
county-but not those of the two
legged breed.
The man who will store up flour;
meat, money-anything when his
neighbor, who is entitled to be
classed as a better man, can not
procure a sufficiency for the actual
needs of his family, is the party the
food administrators will seek out,
and it is to be hoped that he will
discover and expose each and every
one of them-if we have any, which
we trust we have not. The town
buyer is allowed to purchase not
exceeding two sacks of flour, while
four sacks is the limit for those in
the rural districts-a and all must
purchase the prescribed proportion
of corn meal or other substitutes.
We have got to come to thence
we had just as well do it cheerfully
and patriotically.
Go after 'em, Jim.
