Knox county, Kv.> j near Leacher and Floyd, is be'ng scoured ! by officers of the law who s.:e on the J hunt for Frank Johnson and party, who j kilUd two men on Monday night. A love affair was the cause of the crime. Johnson, a reckless young man, fell in love with the daughter of James War wick^ well known citizen of this county. The latter objected to the joung man's attentions and so informed him, but Johnson did not s'op his visits. Finally the young people became en gaged. On Monday night Johnson went to the j home of his finance and knocked for ad mittance. He was met by the irate fath er, who shut the door in his face. John son became enraged and went to the homes of some of his com panions, where he related the circumstances. In a?short lime he returned, accompanied by half a dozen of them, all well armed. They approached the house and ordered the father out. He anticipated events and summoned his son and a laborer to his aid. A pitched battle ensued, dozens of shots being fired by both sides. When the smoke cleared away three meo, !War wick and his son Tim and on? Jessie of Johnson's gang, were found to be dead. Johnson fled with his comrades and they have not yet been beard from. It is thought they worked their way to We6t Virginia. Legate From the Pops. Baltimore, Md ? Monsignor Satolli, the Pope's legate to the World's Fair d die tion, accompanied by 3ev.

Monsignor deliv ered some verbal messages of extern sent by the Pope and other high digni taries of the Church to His Eminence of a particularly pleasing nature. Monsig nor Satolli also stated that he had in hto baggage some important messages from Cardinal Gibbons, presumably from the Pope. A banquet was given by His Eminence to Monsignor Satolli at uight, at which time the United Press dispatch from Home to the effect thit the Vatican hes doci ;ed to elevate Archbishop Vaughan and Monsignor Stoner to the cardinalate caused considerable comment. It led to a statement by a clergyman high in Church circles that tin report was no doubt true and would receive official confirmation in a few days. THE CONTRACT LIMIT. An Important Question As to Cotton Options. Galveston, Texas.? The Galveston Cotton Exchange adopted resolutions condemning the custom of the New Ytfik and New Orleans cotton exchanges in permitting inferior grades of cotton to be tendered in fulfilment of future contracts, thereby depressing the market. The Galveston Exchange asks other exchanges to join in the movement and induce the j New York and New Orleans exchanges to adopt low middling grade as the low- I est that can be offered in fulfilment of future contracts, urging that as the only objection to ths present system of option trading.

The inside of a tobacco warehouse on salesday presents some interesting, ns well as amusing, sights to the novice in the tobacco in dustry. To hear the everlasting voice of the auctioneer and the quick and snappish bids of the buyers induces one to come id the conclusion that cotton is no longer king in South Carolina. The buyer eagerly seeks the article and pays a good price tor it, instead of the article seeking the buyer and getting a small* sized nothing. Florence can boast of having the largest tobacco warehouse in South Car olina, which fact indicates that this in dustry is assuming size ki this - par icu lar section of the State. Fforence county. ..farmers have wisely come to the oonch?sion that tobacco at 24 cent* a pound beats cotton at 6 cents, and the consequence of tfi$s ' conclusion is tobacco has entirely super- ' ceded cotton. Other counties should imitate Florence in thjg^ particular line, and they will soon shake. off the shackles of poverty. ?* lousayyou will have to hire some experienced nun from North Carolina <t \ irgiuia to teach you the business.^ Hear what one say* who learned the bus in ss himst-lf, in answer t> the reporter's questions about learning the business: '\Do^3u mean to say that you had no* one fo instruct vou in the tobacco cul ture?" Well, sir, I used common sen6?, to gether with information gathered from books and papers devoted to the culture of tobacco. 1 w ''fell mo something about your farm." 'There is nothing1 jnuch to tell, but what there is, you arVv. welcome to/' it. ? Thro 3 yea!s ago I commenced to plant tobacco simply as an experiment. I did not have much faith in it as^ profitable crop in South Carolina. At the end of the first-^ear I came out so ^rell that I w?.s induced to try it on U' larger scale, ?and ti'e third year finds! me planting ouly ten acres of cotton, just for the sake of 'before the war.' The first crop brought me in about $150 per acre, and the second and the third, crops have netted me about a thousand dollars for every ten acFes; or, in other words, I clear one hundred dollars per acre.' " rVh ?t peculiarity does' the soil possess which makes it good for tobacco?" ? "Nothing, fir. Tobacco will gr$w just as well anywhere in South Caro lina Good cottuu land is good tobacco land?" J .. " kVell, you put too muclr-^xpensc in I bu Id ing your tobacco barn?" 'No, sir. I built it with my own hand-, and at very little expense." ''In transplanting your crop, do you I have to wait for rainy weather?" "Not at all. Dry weather is just as sfood. Th: tobacco pi tut is almost as hard to kill as nut grass or wire grass I o'occo farms are becoming verv nu uierous in this scction, and we are get ting better prices here than the planters of Nonh Carolina and Virgiuia." The questions compounded by the re porter and answered by this planter show that the tobacco culture is a power in thii this section. A buyer of Virginia says:: "South Carolina tobacco is very fine" and de - mands the best prices, "it brings as bi"h as $2? per hundred ponnds. " The planters bring their tobacco to the Florence warehouse, where it is auctioned off in piles. Each pi"e is of a different grad$. The Florence ware hou-e, on: of the largest of any tobacco State, holds about seven hundred piles. Sales are made every day during the to bacco season. About eight thousand pounds of tobacco is sold at this ware house each day. If cotton rrauks would stop picking awhile and visit Florence or Darling ton aud see how much they are making out of the "uuiversal weed," in two years South Carolina would not produce enough cotton to stuff a pillow. Florence and Darlington, the pioneer couuties in tobacco culture, started on a snail scale, and gradually they have grown to be known as the tobacco coun ties of South Carolini. Why can't other c unties join thig small^aud? The Florence tobacco factory stnds out a* good stuff as does the factories of Virginia aud'North Carolina, thus show ; ing thit we can produce first-class raw material and first-class manufactured stuff. Let 1 8t*3 be the tobacco vear and mark the downfall of His Majesty Kine Cotton. t . p. \vy, aa. UNLOADED PISTOL IN YADKIN. A Young Lady Snaps It at Her Sweet heart and He is Not Expect-ed to Live.

A BAD RECORD. ! benjajhn Harrison's administratioi UNDEB INDICTMENT ? EXTRAVA ?ANCE, CORRUPTION AND UTTE' Disregard op solemn pledges.* The issued -this campaign is* the Ra paolicaa record of the last four years. It is a very bad record. It is a record of wrong-doing, of unfair favoritism in legislation aad of scandalous misconduct in administration ; a record of reckless squandering; of the debauchment of the -public service; of corruption in office and in getting office, and of shameful malpractices in the attempt to retain power regardless of the popular will. The Administration and the Fifty-first Congress cumo Into power by plain pur chase. The Republican. Party in 1888 secured its triumph by selling legislation short. , Abandoning all that it had piofessel and all that its leaders, living aad deal, had taught concerning the limitations of Tight in tarif! legislation, it framed a* platform in C ilia ago in which it o tiered to monopolists stfo^ tariff, rates as they should desir? for theif'e&richment at the expense of the people, in return for con tributions to the campaign fund. The -offer wis acaepted. Tae money )$ras paid, and with it the notorious em bezzler and corruptionist, Matthew Quay, with his lieutenant, Dudley, was j set to buy the election. When the funds ran low John Wanamaker purchased an option on a Cabinet office by securing an additional contribution of $400,000 from the buj^rs of legislation upon a ipiargin. j When the Congress thus elected came Itogether the Republican majority was too-* narrow and uncertain to do the work it bad promised. It could not deliver the legislative goods it "had sold to mon opolists without resort to further un fairness and wroggt It proceeded to un ' seat members dfthe minority whom the people had elected and to seat Republic cans whom the people had refused to elect, and not a man in all t!ie majority t was brave or honest enough to raise a-* yoice in protest. When the time came for debate the majority decided not to permit debate, lest the truth be made plain to the peo ple. * The rules of the House were revolu tionized. A dictator of peculiarly arbi trary will was placed in the chair who suppressed discussion, overrode all con siderations of fairness, changed the House from a deliberative body into a mere machine for recording /his deter mination, and thus enacted the measures of monopoly which the party had been pa; \ in advaifbe to pass. . In I >vo short years this Congress sqUan ? 3ere.l an enormous surplus, reduced the ! treasury to the sorest straits, laid heavy , bur Jens upon the people and upon in 3u;try and made a determined, though fort'in itely a fruitless, effort to rob the several States of the right of free elec tions in order to secure for the Republi can Party a longer lease of power. It Knight to buy votes for the future by pension legislation of the most reckless j mi unjust character, whose shadow j bangs like a pall over the finances of the | country and must embarrass its prosper ity for a generation to come. The Administration thus elected de- | ? livered to Wanamaker the Cabinet office ; I he had bought, put Tanner into the Pen ! sion Office, with his exultant exelama- I | tion, "God help the surplus!" not upon ! h.s lips, aud when his scandalous mis conduct made his removal a necessity, pit Rium there instead, to work still larger mischief in less vociferous fash : ion, and to fill the office with specula ! tion3, peculations and sc tndals so shame i ful that even the Heed Congress could 1 not be dragooned into palliating then. i Aud, in spite of further and more fla- I grant exposure, Raum is in office still! The Administration c.vne into power i protesting most solemnly its purpose to ! enforce the Civil Service law in letter | and spirit, and to extend its scope and . | influence. It straightway set Clarkson ; j at work to behead' postmasters ak a rate ! ! wholly unprecedented. Th*. President ' openly farmel out the Federal offices as j I spoils to such bosses as Quiy and Piatt, ! and quartered hi3 owu relatives and ! i partners and chums upon the public ser i vice. When the Civil Service Commis I sion discovered the mo3t flagrant ani j shameless abuses in Baltimore and urged I the removal of numbers of persons by : name for proved misconduct amounting 1 to criminality ? misconduct perpetrated { in the name and on behalf of the Ad j ministration ? the whole matter was I jauntily put aside by Wanamaker, aad ' the President in no way interfered to re 1 deem his pledge* or to tree himself from ! the shame of it all. Dudiep was one of the agents in the purchase of Mr. Harrison's election, aud he was found vut. Mr. Harrison has i since refused to hold intim\te personal relations with the "Blocks of Five'1 statesman, but through his Attorney General and former law partner he has j interfered with the administration of ! justice in Dudley's case, l^s caused a ; judge upon the bench to shield a id pro tect fpime, and has since regarded that corrMMhjgneaa by elevatitigAm to a higher judicial posi tion. And within the?e later months the country has seen the President or_M 7,e the Civil Service into a po'.iticVt ma chine, an 1 with dt co;n.)d his 0 >v a ^ ' uomiiia'.ion for a second ; From the very beginning Mr. IT ; r i rison has ined the apooiatin.: po*\er :i \ I means of recurin^ t seond term for I ? j himself. > He resorte 1 at the outset to a ' device justlv denounced by the eider President of his name as wroDi I dangerous. He muzzled the pre>c of his own party so far as criticism of his ! administration was concerne 1. He mile ' . sure of tlje support' of^ ti/o prominent ! Republican newspapers for a'! his j j ambitions by putting t h&r editors under J ! obligations to hiinsstf for high office, j j carrying with it) pecuniary rewards, | | ooliticial advantages or social distiac- ] 1 t:on, according fo^fte kno^n need and desire of cicb of Lis henedciaries. In certam directions lie filled tl?e foreign s&i?:ee 7?th incapable tuea to oblige unworthy interests. He sent M'zner to Central America, and kept i Jim mere long a iter t he country hud given expression to. its disgust *ad witij $ae coquet of an To Wanamaker he has added Elkins as a Cabinet officer ? Elk ins, a political adventurer and speculator, who had giown rich out of politics without, hav ing "won respect enough anywhere to make his name suggestive even of possU bilities in connection with honorable of fice. He made Porter tho Superinten dent of the Census knowing him to be an already discredited manipulator of statistics, a foreign adventurer destitute of convictions and in search of a market for his peculiar abilities, a man at that very time conducting business as a vul var wine tout in combination with poli tics and ready to placan his advertise ments in the Executive Mansion itself. He permitted this man to falsify the cen sus of great States by way of robbing them of their just representation and thus increasing, the chances of fiat party's Buccesa \fx> whose service ho had hired himself. >/. J It is a sad and shameful story of pledges broken; of fiscal legislation bar tered for campaign funds; of e'ections secured by the purchase ot voter* ; of high office made the subject of vcigar traffic; of the/public service, including tho most honorable places, prostituted to the promotion of the President's personal ambitions ; of a court converted into a sanctuary for the protection of a scoun drel; of judicial subserviency rewarded with high judicial place; of debate sup pressed iu Congress; of a surplus squan* dered, and of the enormous increase of the people's tax burdens that the pro I ceeds might flow into the 'coffers of favored monopolists willing to share their spoil with the political organization that made its collection pcssible. It is a grievous indictment that is here made, but it is perfect^ true and it covers but a part of the truth. The specifications will come Hater in the course qf these letters. The facts will ba given upon which every accusation rests. "The whole recor^' will be laid bare? that record which the people by their votet^in November art to approve or condemn. And this is not a mere recalling of ,old errors, a recurrence to offenses re pented of. The courses that condemn this Administration have been ccntinuout. Raum is still at the head of the Pension Bureau, and that bureau is not reformed or purified. Marshall Aire^y still holds office in Baltimore, notwithstanding Commissioner Roosevelt's report as to his organization of the po3 toffies and Custom House /employes there into a band of political ruffians, his use of them to carry primaries in the Adminis trations interest by wholesale cheating and by actual physical violence, in which he personally participated. .Neither he nor Postmaster Johnson nor any of their subordinates have been removed, nWtfiJTT" their conduct was fully set forth and their removal strongly urged by Mr. Roosevelt, a Republican moinber of the Civil Service Commission ; though soma of them, accordiug to Mr. Roosevelt'* report, deliberately testified to - lies ; though many of them openly confessed to cheating; though all of them set at naught the law against political assess ments, and though they all professed with more or less of candor the creed of lying, cheating and ballot-box stuftiag which the testimony showed that they had practiced. These men who, as one of them put it in his testimony, believe "in/doing any thing to win," are still in office by grace of Mr. Wanaruaker's favdf aod Mr.\ Harrison's neglect of duty. "And they* -till constitute the Administration ma chine in Baltimore and Maryland politics. In brief, the Administration is what it has been. It profits still by the practices for which honest meu in both . parties have condemned it iu the past. It pro tects its scoundrels and its law- breakers. It keeps theui in office. It uses them in politics. It sanctions their creeds aud their performances. It seat them and such as them to Minneapolis to nominate Mr. Harrison lor a second term in spite of any desire the Republican Party might Give for some other candidate. It still looks to the monopolies it has fostered for the money with which to , carry the election. Iu their behalf it has not only made laws, but has neglected and refused to enforce such laws as there I are on the statute books adverse to them. I'he coal coo spiracy has been formed | during this Administration. Without Ic or hindrance it has levied a tr;bute upou [ the people iu face of tlie auti-Trust law. That law makes it the imperative duty j of the Attorney-General, through th> j District Attorneys, to brir!* criminal i prosecutions against all the conspirators; { but no District Attorney has moved, and j the Attorney-General weakly protest j that he has no information touching the j conspiracy. In the interest of good government it j is necessary to chastise official miscon duct by deleat. The men and the party now in power mast be sent into retire ment for the public good. Our public life is in need of disinfection. It is time to restore legislation to. its proper service of ali the people. The simple facts of these four years' ' history constitute the most conchisive reasons for refusing to intrust this Ad ministration or the pajty it represents! with a further 1(4*4 of pow^r.?

Couri er-J It Is a Stimulant. Mr. Mason, one of the Repubtieaifi stumpers, declares that ^the tariff U ttni a tax but a stimulant. " j.Jj A true word. '^1 P The tariff stimulates campaign cok* tributions from its bene!iciaries, the proj tected millionaires. The fat-friers know this. It stimulated Carnegie to buy pNtlO^f in Scotland and to set up as e monef! lord in England while reducing wages at home. v ^ 1 It stimulates- mauufacturers to shoddy ize their goods and raise their prices. > It stimulates the tariff and the usuril ' to collect the debts. of itrvictim*. It puts the stimulant of necessity upOl \ workingmen to secure the extra* cost of their necessaries due to exactions. Mr. Mason i^ only half right. The tarii! is both a taxjuid a stimulant. i . * Oil trow torUrw It will probably be a surprise to" to know that there is a company i purchases corn solely to extract the oi from it.
