Judge DeArmond must have hit some sledge hammer blows in his Clinton speech last week, open- ing his campaign in this district. At least we are lead to this conclu- sion from the way the Clinton Re- publican is cutting up and saying mean things about him. All who know Judge DeArmond, are aware that he never makes a statement in a speech he cannot substantiate and the truth is what hurts.

But this is an unreasonable assumption, for while officials who reside at points contigu- ous to the trusts might be influenced to be lenient with them, those widely separated could entertain no such feeling of friendship and the com- plaint of any citizen to any official thus situated would be certain to produce results. 3 * And section seventy-six provides that “any property owned under any contract or by any combination, or pursuant to any conspiracy (and being the subject there- of) mentioned in section 73 of this act, and being in the course of trans- portation from one state to another, or to or from a territory, or |the Dis- triet of Columbia, shall be forfeited tothe United States, and may be seized and condemned by like pro- ceedings as thost provided by law for the forfeiture, seizure, and con- demnation of property imported into the United States contrary to law.” Under the caption “The Protection Bogie Man” the Times shows that there has been no in the price of sugar, ss claimed by the protectionists there would be on putting a duty on that urticle, nor will there be, except us the supply and demand of trade encourages: advance There has been no advance inthe price of sugar, even to the extent of the new tariff law went into effect,” said Mr. J. N. Nave of the MeCord- Nave Mercantile company to a re- reiailers have made the trifling ad- vance during the canning and fruit preserving season this year that they made last year and make every year. It is the logical consequence of an extraordinary de- mand. But the tariff legislation had nothing to do with it, direct or re- mote. There has been no increase to wholesale purchasers, whetherthe demand is for English, Scotch, Ger- man or domestic product.

Bro. Atkeson appeurs to be in the position of the dog in a close corner, where he sees he can not escape and is visciously snapping at every thing that comes in his reach. | Bro. Wade is right. Never in the | history of Bates county politics was the party more united or was there less internal friction than at present, and Bro. Wade is entitled to his full share of credit for that consumma- tion. “The clouds that lowered up- on our house in the deep bosom of ocean buried.” Atkeson can not re- vive them by his childish charges and silly prattle. Bro. Atkeson seems to be getting venomous. Last week he referred to us iu the complimentary and endearing terms as the “splenic, hair-brained editor.” Now if this kind of a campaign furnishes our bewhiskered friend any amusement, we want him to continue on that line, for the amusement is all he will get out of it, and it doesn’t hurt us. There are all kinds of rumors of withdrawals, trades and combina- tions. We don't kaow, of course, what will be done, but we advise the boys to make their notes and | mortgage conditional on election. Pleasant Hill Gazette. | _ Mr. DeArmond, our candidate for Congress, opened his canvass by a | rousing speech at Clinton last Sat- urday. We notice that the Kansas City Journal’s report says that his speech was principally an apology; but we do not find anything of that sort in the speech itself. The “gen- | tlemen from Missouri” have nothing to apologize for their constitu ents and our representative least of jall. He has attended to his duties CONSPIRACY EXPOSED. Near Memphis Laid Bare. Memphis, Tenn., Sept 9.—'Ihe whole plot of the lynching of the six alleged negro incendiaries near Mill- ington, Teun., on the night of Au gust 31 bas been laid bare and before many hours elapse, every man im- plicated in the conspiracy will be in jail. Robert McGarver, aon of sher- iff McGarver, of Shelby county, is the man who exposed the conspira- tors. He was invited before the grand jury and told the whole story. Young McGarver first refused to give testimony, but when given the alternative of going to jail for con- tempt of court or revealing the plot he chose the latter. In his testimony before the grand jury McGarver was invited to parti- cipate in the massacre of the negroes H. N. Smith, one of the men now in the county jail under indictment for murder in the first degree for com- plicity in the lynching, Smith gave McGarver the name of the men who composed the mob and told how the negroes would be arrested by Detective W. S. Richard- son, placed in a wagon and driven to Big Creek swamp where the mob would be waiting. When the invitation to assist in the assassination was made to young MeGarver it was represented that his father knew of it and that Judge Cooper was not in the dark. These representations were untrue, and were made by Smith with the inten- McGarver in the affair through his son sothat his hands would be tied if an investigation should be inati- tuted by the authorities. Young McGarver declined to join the mob but the lynching came off in due time.
