Since France has placed a heavy duty

It is a beautiful way to retaliate, isn’t it ?
Col. £. B. C. pASii, the famous duelist
ami bloody shirt politician of Chenuv, S
■C., had the pleasure of reading notices of
his death in a great many papers, After
having known this notorious "‘fire eater
the scribe of this paper deems,it a matter
of very little importance to know whether
Cash is dead or alive.
If the Governor would offer a large re¬
ward for tlio safe-blowing burglars who
have caused so much trouble m Georgia
in the last year or two all their depreda¬
tions might be stopped. No less than
twenty-five safes in different parts of the
Slate have been blown by a regularly or¬
ganized gang of sharps.
The Fort Valley Mirror thinks Knox,

A Suggestion that the next Legislature
make seme appropriation needed in sus
taintng the volunteer soldiery of the State
has heeme so general that it has'grown
into a demand. The State can order out
the militia at any time and impose ardu¬
ous duties upou them; then why not assis
in sustaining the companies ?
A Celebrated divine, of New York
contends that the press is to blame for a
good deal of the crime of the day. This
is prenoste roits. Everybody knows that
t he dread of publicity keeps many a man
from doing things which he would do if ii
eve re not for the papers. Newspapers,
like policemen, protect our homes.
Since Congress wants to appropriate a
snug fortune for the purpose of erecting a
monument to the memory of Washington’s
mother, it seems in order now to advocate
the building of a few hundred tablets to
the memory of old Noab, of navigation
fame, or to Grand-daddy Adam or Grand,
mother Eve, recently of Eden, etc. Tin
republicans and other high protectionists
show consistency in all things.
The Journal may he looked upon hj
some unthoughtful person or incapable
udge as a very small affair, not capacita
■ted to give the news or contain the edito
ri 1 1 work that the public demands: but
we ask our renders to compare this paper
with others. The comparison will show
that although our articles are short, still
they contain the essence cf as much matter 1
as occupies ten times as .much space In
other papers.
Mr. Rreckenbige, of Kentucky-, has in¬
troduced a hill in Cuugress that if passed,
will put a check upon the wholesale rob¬
bery carried on by trusts. The bill pro¬
vides that in cases where a trust controls
Go per cent of any article imported or pro¬
duced in the United States, such article
shall he made free of duty. This is the
best, bill that can-be framed that will pro
tcet the people against trusts, and wr
belicve democrats and republicans alike,
will support it.
Mr. Randai.l’s tariff bill to reduce the
internal revenue *60,000,000 recites, or
course, liquors, w-iims, beer, etc., as the
principal articles ot commerce from which
the tax will be taken. If the farmers of
the country needed liquor worse than
clothing, farm implements and the like for
making a crop, wc would he in favor of!
Randall's bill, and so would the whole
country, but it is not cheap luxuries that
we want, but cheap necessities.
A machine has been invented which
will pick every particle of lint from cot¬
ton seed. The clean seed bring §20 a ton
in England, which about three times as
much as the oil trusts allow in this
country. From certain indications it
would seem that cotton s»ed will some dav
be worth as much as the lint. At any
rate this new machine will he a great
blessing to the farming interest, provided
enough machines of the kind will be kept
in use.

Editor Knoxville Journal :
Having attended one of the meetings
known as the Citizens Unite I am now
fully acquainted with its purposes and ob¬
ject of its organization. I, as I think ev
<e y fair thinking citizen of our county
(when rightly understood) will favor its
movements and wilt do all we can to
further and encourage the interest mani¬
fested in this union which is not confined
to the Knoxvilleites alone (as some seem to
think) bat to the citizens of Crawford at
large. There is an impression out that it
is for the upbuilding of Knoxville alone,
but 1 do not so unddrstand, it is for the
■mprovement of the public interest at large.
Xow, as there seems to bo a false impres¬
sion that the citizens of Knoxville will or
have mado application to the Commission¬
ers of Roads and Revenues to appropriate
1000 dollars of the public funds fur the
improvement of the road fiorn town to the
depot, in justice to them I will here cor¬
rect such an impression as I have the honor
to claim myself a member of that body,
and no such favors have ever been asked,
though I will here state that we have been
asked to consider the matter and help them
is the present condition of the road is a
grievous dread to those who have to pass
over that portion of tlie road, not fotheir
private or personal interest bnt for the
public travel. I will here say that for
this request to receive the attention of our
body it will, as all other appeals have to
be, presented by a petition. Then wc will
give it our earnest consideration, as we
have ever done for cur citizens and tax¬
payers.
It is cur duty to serve the people as
best we think their interest, not personal,
but for the good of all whom wo represent,
aud they are the people of Crawford at
large. We claim to act fearless of conse¬
quences, cither for reward or the hope
thereof. We, in the discharge of our duty,
hold that the tae tax payers have the right
to claim a voice in the distribution of their
funds. I hope there is no man or set
men in our couuty who are so unkind as
to ask favors where they are not' willing
to grant. We as the guardians (though
weak wc.be) desire to expend every dollar
of onr taxes in a way that every citizen
shall be beneficiaries.
Nowin conclusion I wish to say that I
not only am glad to see a -spirit of im¬
provement manifested, as regards this
road, but there is ample room for improve¬
ment of all the public reads in our county
and I earnestly wish to impress the great
necessity of widening the roads and put¬
ting in crossways and properly draining
such places as become-muddy and boggy
in wet weather. District road commis¬
sioners ami overseers of public roads wake
up, and h I'V have inviting roads aP. over
our county. Our sister counties have
them and why not we ? We are out of
debt and are going to have a new jail;
we have a good court boose, our taxes have
been reduced and will have to bo raised
but very little to build our jail as wo have
■nearly all of the last tax money on hand
raised by last assessment. Now, to the
d mbting mind (as there are always Th< Bi¬
ases) as to the public fund, our eyes are
always open to the legitimate expenditiues.
Respectfully, your humble servant,
F. Danielly, Go. Com.
