ANOTHER CHANCE 10 GO TO DALTON. 4

Memphis Editor Thirsting for Glory.
The Memphis appeal accused the deal
dnche of being "repudiation organ" be-
cause it opposed the funding BILL There
upon the avalanche reveals bit of his
tory which is rich. IfKellar doesn't get
an invitation to be "at the hotel. opposite
the. depot at Dalton, Georgia. = it will be
funny. The Aualanche charges the appeal
with having favored low taxes in 1872 in
order to depress the credit of the State so
that railroads wanting to cancel their debt
to the State could buy at low prices Ten
nessee bonds. It says:
Now, the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road Company is partly a State institution.
The people of Tennessee hold 81 SOC, 600 in
vested in that magnificent public work
and it has three directors in the board of
directors, who conduct its affairs. The AD-
peal, feeling that it could advocate low
taxes without reputation, made the rail-
road company pay for it's services, as will
appear more clearly from the following
statement and receipt "a fsaxasrr

and generalization Of the stock and damage. and
also relied upon tho provision Of its policy
