Mr. Newton White was ("lightlyinjured last week by an accidentwhich came near being quite seriousHe happened to be standing in hisbuggy when the borse starting sud-

denly, threw him out. He held the a

lines till he had been dragged aconsiderable distance and was pret-ty severely bruised. When finallyreleased, the horse dashed awaywith the empty buggy. He ran tillexhausted, without injury to him-

self or the vehicle, although theroad was very rough. Mr. Whitewas painlully bruised but no boneswere broken, and he will doubtlessbe all right in a day or two.

Prof. A. Sam Abernathy's deci-

sion to sever his connection withthe public school has created therumor in some quarters that somedisagreement among members ofthe faculty made his duties- - thereunpleasant. We can state author-itatively that the rumor is unfound-ed. Mr. Abernathy goes to Elktonbecause the demand for his servicesthere made it profitable for bim togo, and more over, promisos to ex-

tend bis field of usefulness. Inconnection with bis brother, Prof.Butler Abernathy, be proposes toopen a high school at Elkton, offer-

ing as nearly as possible tbe sameadvantages that made the Webbschool at Culleoka so popular. Theenterprise is backed by tbe moneyacd influence of a large number ofsubstantial citizens of Elkton andthe surrounding country. TheMessrs. Abetnathy are young menof energy and ability and with tbeadvantages of a bealtbv locality removed sufficiently from the distract-ing and demoralizing influence' oflarge towns with tbe influence of alarge mimber pf good citizens whoare interested iafue building up ofa good permanent school, tbeyought and doubtless will be emi-

nently succssful.

Death of an Old Citizen.Esq. J. Nelson Patteson, an aged

and highly respected citizen, diedyesterday afternoon about 5 o'clockHe has been ouite feeble a ionstime, and his death has been expected from day to day fur some-week- s.

He bore the burdens imposed uponhim with remarkable fortitude, andwhen old and feeble walked to biswork ontottering feet when a mai otordinary determination would havemven un the struale. and becomea belrjles3 invalid.

Forgery.Last Monday night about nine

o'clock a loving couple from Alaba-ma called on Rev. Jerome B. Anderson at bis residence and express-ed a desire o be married. Theywere surprised to learn that a license was necessary, but were fiaal- -

ly convinced that it was required.and they went away to get it.After half an hour they returnedand tbe would-- be bridegroom informed Mr.. Anderson that MrH.zell. the county court clerk, wasdetained at borne by sickness andbeing unable to go to his office to&sue the license had

receipt for the fee and promised toissue the license next morning. He

ok from his pocket the receipt (adirty bit of paper) and besoughtMr. Anderson to perform the ceremony on this evidence, inis wasvery naturally declined and the disappointed pair went their way unmarried. Where they went is s

matter of conjecture. They didnot return next day to get the muchneeded document. Mr. Kzell declares the lllegiable scrawl on thedirty paper a heartless forgery.

. Martin College Notes.The vocal class at Martin College

gave a pleasant parlor concert onthe evening of the lDth. MissesSmith, Duncan, Martin, Phillips,Bugg and Sinclair sang. MissesPrewitt, Bu nth and Wilkes playedAll acquitted themselves well,showing, thereby careful work onthe part of their instructress. MissMagruder. As far as voice material goes Misses Duncan and Martin have decidedly the advantage ofthe other students. Miss Duncan svoice is a strong mezzo and MissMartin can boast of some really-goo-

soprano tones. Little EiiaPhillips deserves special mentionon account of her youth. She innaturally musical, evincing a senseof rythm and an accuracy of earunusual in a. child. Mies Sinclairmaybe congratu'ated on possessingone requisite (at least) of a concertsinger, namely: A jgracefulj un-

conscious posture, and. a charming-ly pignant manner.

A badge of honor is to be givenweekly at Martion College to thatstudent of tbe musical departmentwho does the most faithful, intelli-gent and conscientious work. MissAda Cook wears the blue ribbonvery proudly this week.

Circuit Court.The first case called for trial was

Hardeman vs. tbe L & N. II. it.,a damage suit lor tbe killing of amare belpnging to plaintiff. Mr. J.Polk Abernathy representing Har-deman and tbe Hon. Noble Smith-so- n

the railroad. Judge Jones be-

ing interested in the result couldnot preside at the trial nor couldtbe firm of Jones, Son fc Ewing appear in the case. Tbe Hon. JohnC. Lester was selected to preside ascircuit judge. Thera will be foundelsewhere in tbU issue a referenceto his charge to the jury. Tbe.case went to tbe jury on luesdaymorning. After being out a shorttime tbey came In with a verdictfor the defendant.

Judge Jones then took the benchand called tbe docket lor motions..It is to be remarked tnat more orders for condemnation of land havebeen taken at this term than formany a term beietofore.

Tbe next case fried was HarrisSolinsky vs. Mason, Richardson &Co., a damage suit for maliciousprocecution and for the wrongfuleuisg out of an attachment. TbeHon, Noble Smithson represents the

laintff, while the Hon. John C.ester appears for tbe defendants.

Some time since Mason, Richard-son fe Co. filed an attachment billin the chancery court, making Solinsky one of tbe defendants there-to. Tbey failed to sustain tbe alle-

gation in tbe bill for want, of suff-icient proof and it was dismissed.Solinsky then sued for damages. Thecase is on trial before the circuitjudge without a jury. Tbe proofwas heard luesday morning andWednesday morning. Circuit courtdid not sit Tuesday afternoon because .Judge Jones was sent for tosee Squire Patterson.

Solinsky vs. Mason, Richardson& C. will be argued this morningbefore Judge Jones.

Wednesday afternoon JudgeJonea and ajury beard Freemanvs. Glover, a replevin suit to recov-er two colts upon which Glover asconstable had levied. Freeman won.

SOCIALISM.

Labor Unions and Their Effects onBusiness of the Country.

the

In a recent bck published by MGrolund the bold step is taken thatthe governments of the world shouiown all tbe land, all the manufactaring establishments, all the i ailroads, all the telegraphs, ani infact, every industry of any kind andat the same time run all the mercantile and other business of tbeworld. This is socialism in a nutshell. The reasons tbey ofkr, o;their face are good, and are calcuiated to lead many astrav. For iastance thoy site the fact that sincethe. year 1845 manufactuerers andcapitalists generally hive bad anni:rease of over two hundred U-'- i'

cent, per annum on invested capital. Or in other words a hundreddollars invested now yields a profittwice as urge as it did m 18-io- ,

wtiue a laborer is not paul out alittle over one third more wagethan in 1843. They claim this istoo great a disparity, which is afact, but tbey will' not allsw reality

r any other property that increasesin value to form a pirl of the profits. They also sny in the UnitedStates that tba laws are so framedthat, the monied man has all the ad-vantages over tbe skilled mechanicand other industries, for the reasonthe capitalist tnves s iiis money inU. S. securities which are exemptfrom taxation while everything themechanic or farmer owns is taxedby state, county and municipal au-thorities. They claim this is money and here again they are rigut.Another reason tiiey urge is thathe various state governments areeasing convict labor to capitalists

and that said labor is being used indriving out honest, industrioumen and filling the pockets of theeasers with ill gotten gains and

here again they are rigat. b or nogreater outrage was ever committedthan working thieves and murderers against honest. men.

Many minor reasons might begiven; but will the remedy destroythe evils Any intelligent manknows that a healthy public sentiment is fast remedying some of theevils now spoken of and will in tbeend bring all things right in a quiet2onservative way. Tbe seed .6ownby Herr. Most and other agitatorshave done more to bring labor organizations in disrepute than almost anything else that has beendone or said. They have no respectfor private rights whatever, but ifthey can produce a storm and rideupon the waves tuev are happy, nomatter whom it hurts. The government running everything in thiscountry from a cobblers shop to thelargest manufacturing establish-ment and the largest railway is afallacy so patent that it needs butto be mentioned to be discardedWhat the government is runningnow has in too many instancesproved failures. The labor unionsare now in a position to do greatgooil if they will be conservative,but tbey will never accomplish anything by violence. And they arrogate to themselves to rule the entireabor of the country, having no re

spect for any one that does not belong to their organizations. Isthis right? I answer emphatically.No. Take tbe western strikes forcstance. Thousands of miles of

railroads are now standing still do-ing no trafic. Who are the injuredparties? Most assuredly men andinterests who have nothing to dowith railroads except to ship theirgoods and produce over them. Therailroads have their roads, theircurs, their engines ana uieir men torun tnem. lue snipper loads n isgoods no matter of what kind, thetrainman starts the train and the astrikers disable tbe engine and stopthe train, so the goods are not ship-ped. 'What is the result? Whythousands, and thousands of menare thrwwn out of employ moot andsuffering is the necessary following.Is there anything conservative inthis, is there anything in it to com-mend these strikers? There haverecently been some railroad bridgesburned in Texas, done by mcindia-r- y

strikers. Is this conservative?The railroad managers have . hadtheir say and the strikers have hadtheir say and the whole matter re- -

s.olves itself into this. The railroad A.says to the strikers, 'yoa have aright to quit and if you do notwant to work get out of the way andwe will put men in your place, botwe bad rather retain you, leavingyou free to belong t any organiza astion you choose. - I he strikersaaswered, "no we will not work andwe will not let any one else workand if you do no accede to our proposition we will stop every wheel inthe country and not a pound ofgoods shall be moved throughoutthis entire land. Js this conserya islive, is it right? No, no, it is wrong,very wrong, and if carried out willproduce untold suffering end mlse-ry- j

and the perpetrators of it willbe visited with the disrespect andpposition of every right thinking it

man ana woman in inis country.If the strikers have grievances'and tbe managers refuse to listento them public sentiment will forcethem into measures." "

Ths very worst feature in thewhole matter is tbe innocent aremade to suffer for the guilty. Merchants, farmers and .manufacturerswho are not in the most lemote degree coimectca witn me striite aretbe worst hurt. For instance sev-

eral industries Layehad to suspend.Why? Could not ship their goods.Why? Strikers wvuld not let toetrain run. Now if all the laborersemployed were knigbts and all badstruck then the thing would be aif- -

ferent, but tbe fact is that not half Aof the employes have left their posts.Notably the engineers, those bravemen who nave given so much to tbecharacter of the American heroism,they have not quit and say thatthey have no grievancies to redress,and are still at their posts, but ifthey undertake to run a freighttrain tbey do it at tbe peril of theirlives. What have the farmers, mechanics, manufacturers, laborersand merchants of the west had to dowith this strike? Nothing mostremotely. Yet they are the greatest sufferers. Another bad featureis that these strikes bring the very aworst elements of society to thesurface, men who would not darecommit a depredation individually,under tbe cloak of the strike run pinot and do all manner of mischief.In trying to boycot a boardinghouse keeper in Ft. Worth . theyeven resorted to poisoning bis Itdrinking water, causing sickness

Fand perhaps death of some children. The Knights ot La bor as an Forganization did not do this, butthe state of affairs incident to thestrike permits it. XV i'A tbe worldhold the strikers guiltless of all the

injuries resulting from their conduct? Public opinion in free Araerica always settles down right lethurt whom it may, and until some- - I little budget of news after a silencething not yet known comes up weeks which was causedstrikers will be held responsible forithis trouble.

Tbey have no right in law ormorals to interfere with any manwho does not belong to their organizations, and a strong law should liepassed to protect men in their rightsto work for a living wherever theycan find employment and no sicklysentimentality sliould make us failto do right. Capital in the bandsof monopolists hus lorded it over thelaboring classes of this country fora long time, making the rich richer,and- - the poor poorer, but the timeis now at u&nn: if the conservativelaboring classes will do right wewill win, hut in the name of justicelet us show the world that we arentelligent thinking men and not a

mob of ignoramuses trying to rulethe country by prejudice on thebasis of. one narrow idea.

With the rail roads it is a caseof life or death. The strikersmake demands which if accededto will take tbe control of the prop

iTy out of the hands of the ownersand placa jt in tbe hands of the la-

borers who already get GO per cent.of the gross earnings of the roads.It is a notorious fact that rail roadspay belter prices than- - any otherorpotalions in the country. If the

business is good tbey are able topay dividends, if cripped by strikesor other ill luck, thev all navtheir men first, even if takes thelast dollar. This whole .matterpartakes of the rule or ruin policy

little too strong. Burning bridges, disabling engines, tearing uptracks and other incendiarism is noway to right a wrong, and the per-petrators thereof, no matter wheth-er they be high or low, will be vis-ited with the anathemas of everyhonest man in the country. I amnot claiming prophetic qualities,but if tins matter is not speedilystopped none can tell where it willend, and both sides should layaside red tape and come to terms.What we need as Brother Gardnersays is "more horse sense andless If all the la-

bor of the country is stopped bloodshed and anarchy wfll take theplace of good order, for when menare hungry and by force kept fromwork, they will become violent andunmanageable. Let our law makers cease acting the coward andrectify this great wrong before it istoo late. They . can rest assuredthat all good people will back thecnn all things when they are right.

Stop it, let him be to blame whomay.

If we will stick to what is rightwe will soon not have a convictworking at any mechanical busi-ness in the whole nation, and wewill have, a law that will compelmonopoly to surrender its dishon- -

csily gotten advantages and thehonest skilled mechanic or farmlaborer will stand up the eaual of

i -

any man in the nation, and meritalone will place him there. Whilewe claim our rights let us give toothers tbe same, and i ye up to thatgrand saying of Davy Crockett,!

To the Citizens of Giles County.Generally speaking, a man does

not announce to the voters that hewill not be a candidate for publicoillcc. The reverse is the ruleThat I take this method of 'tellingyou I shall not be a candidate torepresent you in the lower" bouse ofthe next legislature, is due to thetact that when 1 returned borne atier the adjournment of the extraessiOii of the general assem

bly, I did announce to many persons living in d liferent partsof the county, my candidacy for reelection. This intention .to standfor re election I have reconsideredand it is due both to vou and to meto make that fact public. The considcralions that move me are purely personal ones, because they haveregard solely tot'ie question "Whathall I eat and wherewithal 6hall

I b clothed?" In solvingthis question I must stick tomy law office and its books. Inother words I must needs followsomething more remunerative indollars and cents than are politicalhonors, though I regard the desireto serve ones people either in a pub-li- e

or in a private capacity as a lau- -

(able ambition. I have ever-been- .

4nd shall ever bt grateful to voubecause you elected me in May lastto represent you, and I am fullysensible of what would be the honor to sit in the next general assembly as one of the representatives ofa great, free, enligbted and sover .eign people.
