RUINED BY A BOYCOTT. A Tennessee Farmer's Patriotism Costs Him Dearly. Knoxviile, Tenn., March 1.—(Special.)—The people of Anderson county date everything now from the "war," by which they mean the miners' rebellion. From that epoch, John Longmire, who was before police court today, dated his troubles. When war was brewing, he was waited upon by a committee of miners and asked to join them. He was then a prosperous farmer and worth $6,000. He sold his produce largely to miners. He refused, saying: "You may kill me and carry my dead body home to my wife, but I will not rebel against state laws". Then Longmire was a hero. After the miners had been suppressed they ostracised him, boycotted him and made life a menace by perpetual threats. As a consequence of the boycott, he is ruined and driven to drink. He was arrested here last night while drunk, and a huge pistol was found on his person. Today, in the police court, all the facts came out, and his fine was remitted.
