In conclu sion the commission says: "Policy should, in our judgment, prompt the government as a creditor to make such provisions as to time and date of payment of the principal and the rate of interest to be paid as may be within the ability of the company to meet, and! just and equitable under all circumstances." The gentle men who compose this commission are all of high standing and familiar with the work. They know the conditions existing, and what they have to say should be given due weight and consid eration. - 1 . Mr. Robert Griffin, of England, is en deavorins to alarm the people of this country about their silver policy. Mr Griffin shows that he knows about as much of the inhabitants of this country as he does of the Cannibal Islands. He says that the issue of $60,000,000 silver is sure to produce a panic t nd even sets the time as next Februarv. Mr. Griffin is not aware of the fact that the government is not issuing any silver money but is buy ing .54,000,000 ounces of silver and pay ing for it in legal tender notes, which are as good as English guineas or bank of England notes. There will be no panic here. The panic may be in England and the balance of Europe.

The feast was given to Mr.; ,i. Sloat Fassett, himself a millionaire many times over, and the republican candidate for governor. A in-pflt mnnv distinguished renublicans &i.v J 0 --t were present. As usual Mr. Chauncey M. Depew presided at the dinner. Mr Chauncey M. Depew is the head of ihe greatest railroad corporation in the world and it is very fit for him to preside over such a feast. Speeches were made, one of them being a denial upon the part of Mr. Depew of the charge that he accused Mr. Fassett and sbme of his fellow repub licans of causing the World's Fair to go o Chicago instead of New York. Mr. Depew' s words stand against him in this matter and are known to the public. His denial will amount to nothing. The Piqua tin fraud j has been fully exposed. Major McKinley with a great blowing of trumpets was! - announced as having dipped some tin j plates himself. I& dipped some steel plates in a little ead and tin, the whole amount of tin on the place beinf 10.0 pounds of California pif tin. A democrat near the worKS, which are advertised to. furnish Ameri can tin, to test its capacity gave an order for tin enough to cover his barn and the company was not able to fill the order. George Gould, the son of Jay, has been speculating in Missouri Pacific stocks and it was necessary to relieve him in some method or he was a heavy loser. As a result, the board of directors, entirely under the cdntrol of Jay Gould, met and passed by the usual dividends? The stock fell twelve cents and George Gould saved his money while a number of other peo- nle.were ruined in the transaction. But The Picnic at Turkey Creek Camp Ground a Grand Affair. The citizens of the townships, Leices ter, Sandy Mush and French Broad and Little Sandy Mush in Madison coun- y, began to gather at old Turkey Creek camp ground early Friday morning, Sep tember 25th, and by 10 o'clock there was at the least calculation 2,500 people on the erounds. A few minutes after 10 he band arrived on the campus and gfeeted the crowd, which by this time was near 3,000 people, with that . soul stirring air Dixie. All gathered under the great arbor which had been previously fitted w ith a stage and handsomely decorated by Mrs. Terrell and her committee of ladies; and conspicuous was the motto, "Welcome All," which, when seen, reminded al present that they were not only in the Old North State, but in "Buncombe Hail." No speakers yet, 15 minutes lonsrer. no speaker: what s the matter? The crowd begins to be a little restless The band givs u? more music; but be fore the air is finished two gentlemen were seen coming in a carriage. One was readily recognized by the wave of his hand, it was General, no, Uncle Bob Vance, and the other wTas Dr. Abernathy The General and Dr. alighted from their carriage and were escorted to the stand. When they to6k their seats upon the stage all seemed well with the immense crowd. The Hon. B. G. Gudger, in his pleas ant .way, made a short speech of welcome in which he explained the object of the meeting. : Then Gen. R. B. Vance was intro duced by the chairman of the committee on arrangements, the Hon. D. A. Black well. It is needless to say that he made a good speech, and to the point; he makes no other kind. The general said that he did not feel like speaking when he began, but no one believed it at the end of one hour and fifteen minutes; and the result of the subscription in the after noon proved that his speech was a suc cess. ' The chairman called out the names of the committee on the arrangement .of dinner, and while that was being placed upon the tables the crowd was entertained by a speech from Mr. John W. Starnes; full of fun, some pathos, and to the point. We will not try to describe the dinner farther than to quote the general. After his having partaken to the fill and re turning to the stand, he wiped his great big mouth and said that it was "the big gest and best dinner he ever saw set in the woods." The afternoon exercises consisted of the taking of a subscription for the pur pose of building a suitable house for a school of high grade, upon the camp around propertv. and the neat little" sum of $3,150 was subscribed. Dr. Abernethy made a short talk which was enjoyed by all. The band discoursed some stirring music and the crowd broke away with thp inner man full of ffood things, and their hearts full of love for their fellow man; and we think all were glad that we were there. One Present. A Fight and a Lynching. Last Thursday evening a fight occurred between Fred Tyler, "hostler" at the railroad depot, and Ilezekiah Rankin, a colored employe of the railroad in shift ing cars at the depot. The result of the fight was that Tyler struck Hankin with a piece of coal; Ran kin left, but returned with a pistol, and, whether there was any colloquy or not, shot Tyler, the wound causing death The Hoof-Beats of Time.

Thursday night, soon after the shoot ing, a crowd of Tyler's friends arrested Rankin The next morning he was found hanging to a limb, dead, his hands tied behind him, presenting a most hor rible appearance. Dr. McBrayer, coroner, with a jury composed of Messrs. R.M. Deaver, W. J. Woilej, J. W. Farrell, D. C. Clapp and M. P Triplett, held an inquest and 1 rendered the following verdict, after hearing al; the evidence to be obtained: "We the undersigned jurors, find that Hezeki.h Rankin came to his death by strand lation on the nierht of September 24th, 1.01, at the hands of parties un known to us, and that W. II. Mayo, Lum Bolch, Erwin Allison and Tom McCoy are accessories before the fact." Virgil Friday, Maria Friday, W. V. Lowe, Calvin McCorkle, Wm. Morgan, Brooks Moore, Wordy Allison, Thos. McCoy, Alphonso Bailey and Jake Burk hart were witnesses before the coroner's iurv. The evidence was conflicting. Upon the finding of the jury, Mayo, Al ison, Bolch and McCoy were arrested and taken before Esq. A. T. Summey for a preliminary examination. They waived examination and were bailed in the sum of $300 each, for appearance at the next term of the criminal court. With the court we leave the case. sidewalks.
