If you want to know whether,
the fever is in Memphis, you must
obtain the information from pri
vate and not from paper sources, i
In appointing Whitfield to the
snperintendeney of thet-iiueatioual
department of the state, Gov. Me
Laurin has demonstrated
once ;
moi'&how fortunate it is to be front i
Runkin county.

Tho. person who iss.oiudiscreot ;
its to mention yellow fever in ;
Memphis is promptly made to ;
wish that he had died of yellow (
fever in his early youth. They !
don't do a.thing to him.
If you would think and talk less I ;
of 16 to 1, the Cuban campaign
and MeLaurhiisimindclevote more ;
attention to homo, local interest,
you would be a better citizen and
a more desirable neighbor.
The 'hind sight is so much bet
tor than tho 'fore sight. Of course
you could have won this war with- !
out making any blunders. A pity
it is that you had remained not
only an inglorious but a mute
Cromwell. '

made to lynch of mob tho fiend, ;
though the enormity of the crime | ;r
is appreciated. A lynching would !
have ensued in this country.
May the day soon come when
American^ will, us Europeans,
respect the laws of the land.
The election returns of Arkan
sas show that a majority of the
counties voted for the retention
or return of whiskey. Legal pro
hibition does not prohibit. That
fact is being realized wherever
local option or other temperance
measures obtain except in South
Carolina. As yet the dispensa
tory law there has not been giv
en a thorough test,
fail in giving the desired relief,
then temperance movementsWill
have a dark future.
Tho Memphis papers publish
as a matter of news tho penalties
imposed for alleged infractions of
quarantine ordinances and then
gloat over the way that Memphis
is enforcing precautionary metis
