/ the 1908 proposition finally passed
and became q law.
Now when we consider the fact
that the Legislature was sent to
Nashville Instructed by a majority
of more than one hundred and forty
thousand of the voters of the State
to settle, and sent there without
being instructed to settle upon any
particular figure, but simply to do
the best they could for the people Of
the State, and as our Representa-
tives have, in making the settlement
at 1908, presumably obtained the
best terms they could from the hold
ers of our bonds, what is the duty of
the taxpayers We think it clear
ly our duty to shoulder the burden
and go forward and pay the inter
est promptly. There are many ad-
vantages to be gained by this course
The stain Of Reputation is removed
entirely from us. We can invite
capitalists to come to Tennessee to
invest their money, assuring them
that we are debt-paying people
We can hold up our heads anywhere
in the world and say-proudly say
we are Tennesseans and are not
ashamed of our home.
The people of Tennessee are not
so poor or so hard run as they have
been accustomed to think, any way.
This is great and a prosperous
State. We can pay the interest
without seriously hurting anybody.
The County Courts in all the coun-
ties must look at home and cut down
local expenses. In this way almost
enough can be saved to meet the
excess in the State assessment, and
really the taxes will not be any
heavier on the people than they
have been for the last four years.
Hawkins county, for instance, is
now paying 80 cents on the 500
worth Of land and personal proper
ty. Eighty cents of this assessment
goes to pay county and other local
expenses and interest on county in,
debtedness. If the County Court
will so arrange matters as to reduce
this eighty cents down to sixty it
will nearly meet our share of the
interest on the State bonds and our
people will only pay as much tax in
1882 as they paid in 1880 and 1881.
A good name is worth as much to
a State as it is to an individual.
Tennessee has already suffered i'm
from the conduct Of pre-
vious Legislatures in not providing
means to pay the interest on our
bonds. Men with money have been
looking upon us with suspicion and
have given all our public enterprises
the cold shoulder. Thousands Of
men in all parts of the State have
been broken up and ruined for the
want Of a small amount of money,
which they could have readily OBJ
tanned if Tennessee had only retain
ed the good name which she once
enjoyed in the money markets of
the world
The debt has now been settled.
The law has been passed. 1t can
not be repealed. Let us all cheer
fully agree that it shall stand and
shall be executed faithfully, honest
Iy and fully. When the new bonds
are issued let the interest be met
and paid promptly and in little
while such a tide Of prosperity will
flow this way that our people will
not feel the burden.

Mrs. MARGARET RICE, the widow
of the late Orville Rice, Esq, of
Hawkins county, died last week in
the 74th year Of her age. Mrs.
Rice was & good woman. We knew
her when she was rich-when she
was the mistress of the finest and
most elegant mansion in East Ten
nessee; we knew her when wealth
was gone and she was living in COM
parative poverty, and she was al
ways, under all circumstances, the
same pure-minded, high-sOuled, no
BILE woman. Such women make
man think better of his race, and
teach us all that there is something
high and good in humanity.

A dispatch from Santa Fe, New
Mexico, says that on the 9Th three
Texas desperadoes, the leader of
whom was named Baker, rode into
a small town on the Denver & Rio
Grande Extension, and, with drawn
revolvers, robbed every store and
saloon in the town, making their
victims fall into line and follow
them. At the last place, kept by a
Frenchman, all were made to walk
up to the bar and drink at the Elk.

the scoundrels went through him
and started to leave. AS Baker
turned the Frenchman jumped on
him, wrested his revolver from his
hand and put five balls in him. The
other two ran to their horses and es-
capped, one with a bullet in him.
Baker was wanted for previous
crimes, there being a reward of 81,
500 for him.

THE Spectator and the Press an

THE Spectator and the Press and
Times are giving ROgersville very
bad name abroad. They say the
conduct here on public days is "out-
rageous," "scandalous," "disgrace-
full" &c. Hold up, boys. Don't let
the noisy conduct of a few tight
fellows throw you into such excite
ment All county towns have to
meet the same evil. We fear your
articles are calculated to do the
town more harm than good. Arrest
and punish those who violate public
morality, decency and law, and say
less about it in the papers. The
laws are ample to protect society.
Enforce them and all will be well.

ANY further AGITATION of the STATE

ANY further agitation of the State
debt question in Tennessee can have
only one result. That is to disrupt,
defeat and ruin the Democratic par
ty. The people have spoken and
said in unmistakable language that
they Will not repudiate. The fifty
thousand Savages can defeat the
Democratic party, but they cannot
drive the ninety thousand State
credit Democrats into their camp.
So Beasley & Company had as well

Mr. Strasburger is a jeweler of
New York city and is reported to
be enormously wealthy. He has a
daughter Rosa, aged eleven Let
tiers were sent to Mrs. Strasburger
threatening to abduct this child IN
less the writer was given 100000.
Threats, too, were made against the
life Of Mr.. Strasburger. The police
were informed. Many advertise
ments were inserted in the news
papers, and decoy letters sent to the
blackmailer Finally it was arrang-
ed that the little girls governess
should be in Madison avenue at a
certain time, drop an envelope at an
appointed spot, and pass on. She
did SO. A man rushed forward
picked up the envelope, and was
instantly seized by Detective Camp
bell. In the struggle the latter's
pistol went off, the ball entered the
mans left eye, and he died in two
minutes. No blanc is attached to
the officer. The dead mans name
proves to be Sagert, only twenty
four years of age, and a native of
Berlin. Some of his confederates
have been arrested, and the base
plot to eXtort money from the
jeweler was widespread. 1t seems
marvellous that such things can be
in this age in a city like New York.
