A bill is now before Congress provid-
ing for the repayment Of all taxes collec-
ted on raw cotton during the years 1865
6-7and s. Thepassage of the bill has been
urged by memorials and reports from
the South, and it will be remembered
that the Legislature OF Kentucky re-
qucsted It's representatives in both
houses If Congress to vote ;or it. 1t is
urged in support Of the bill that ever
the constitunonaIity Of the tax has been
doubted in the SUpreme Court of the
United States, and that in its operations
it has been unequal and unjust towards
the producer. The laws providing for
this tax have bson repealed and its in
Justice being now determined, it certain
~ seems most reasonable that the grow
ers OF cotton during the years covered
by the bill should not be made to suffer
from that injustice and inequality. Such
Il tax fell only upon tho producer and
therefore was ominently ~prejud.cial tc
the growing of the staple. No other
raw agricultural product has ever been
so taxed in this country even during
war; it is to be hoped, then, that the
manifest justice of the provisions Of the
bill in question will lead to its passage.
The bill provides for the appointment o
a commission who shall decide upon the
claims Of different applicants for return
Of taxes paid.-Kentuckian.

The Airline ROule-Comtemplated
Change in the Schedule.

Change in the Schedule.
The Press 1ad Herald, Of Sunday
morning, last, says, at q meeting Of
Railroad Superintendent, held at Rich
mond, Va, for the purpose of adopting
II new schedule between the cities Of
New Orleans and New York, by both
the seaboard and interior routes, the
last-named being via Montgomery, Ala,
Knoxville and Lynchburg-two Eche-
dulles were agreed upon, Il being a
ias, and the other u slow one. 1t has
not been positively determined as yet
which Of the two will be put into opera
ton on or about the first Of April, but
one OF tho other of them will certainly
take effect at that time. 1t is generally
conceded that it would be impractical
bic to put the fast schedule into opera
ton sooner than July or August, next,
and for this reason it is thought that
the slow schedule will be run from the
first of April until they are ready for the
faster one. The schedules OF which we
speak are those Of tho route by
way of this city. The time between New
Orleans and New York is now about Is
hours and 20 minutes. By the schedule
which will probably gointo effect on the
first of April, tho time will be reduced
three hours and a half, or the time be,
tween New York and New Orleans, viii
be but Is hours and so minutes. Ii
case the fast schedule is adopted, thu
time between the two cities will be 6.
hours and so minutes,
The time for leaving Nav Orleans OF
the above schedule is 5:45 p. III; arriVa
ut New York, 1920 p. m. The time b,
the fast schedule-leayes New Orle0n
$50 p, IN and arrive at New Yerk l:2I
a, H..
Enough is known, however, to c%Onyinc'
us of the fact that the slow schedule wi
be the first to go into operation. Thi
will not alter the running OF the da
trains, materially, as to time, but brin.
them to this city at about the same tim
as at present. The run of the nigh
trains will be SO changed as to brin
each of them to this city about fou
o'clock Il. m, at which point it is expeC
ted the eastern and western bound train
will pass each other,
The slow schedule will be nine houl
faster than by the Seaboard route, an
the fast schedule a little we fourteo
hours.

which were in the tree lie secured nine.
This, too, after the tree had fallen across
him, while ~eudeavurinS to get out of the
way OF its fall. This is n feat in which
we are safe in saying has never been
surpassed. OF course lie was aided by
his dogs, or there would have been fewer
animals killed, but even with the dogs
the fight is described as a desperate one,
