Downey and Its Vicinity.

A reporter of the HERALD yes-
terday visited Downey, and was
courteously invited by Mr.. Lowe,
of that place, to accept a seat in
his buggy for q drive to Norwalk.
During the drive be learned from
MIR. Lowe that many of the farm.
ers in his section are making
preparations to irrigate their
lands, owing to the absence Of
rain. A large tract of we'll watered
c,uutry,lying between the Old and
New rivers, was noticed, and
waller in abundA nee can be thrown
on this land. A great deal Of poor
land lies between Norwalk and
Downey and, In most instan ces, 1t
Is only ft for pasture. Arriving
1T Norwalk he accepted an invita-
tion to partake of u glass of st.
Louis soda water, at the store cf
the Messrs. 6peyer & Sw'gsrt. and
noticed that this firm Carried
quite q large stock and appeared to
be doing u good business.
After refreshing himself with
the sparkling drink above referred
to, he started for Dowuey via Full
ton Wells, ut which latter place he
tasted Of the m sdlcinal waters for
which that resort IL famous. Not
caring for an overdose of this salu.
tary beverage, he simply tasted
and lett.
Several large corn fields may be
seen between these wells and
Downey, aud the reporter learned
that about 10000 centals OF coru
were raised i'll Downey aud vicin.
ity last year.
Upon his return to Downey he
visited the castor oil works, which
were in operation. This Industry
works day and night and turns out
about 100 gallons in the twenty
four hours. The beans are first
canned, then pressed, after which
the OIL is placed in q boiler and
clari fed.
Two thousand five hundred GEN.
| tails of the castor beans We're raised
at Downey this year.
Mr.. Lowe Informed US that be
bad paid $40 900 for hogs this year
and $l4. 900 for walnuts, which
facts show quite an industry in
this direct on.
Apples, also, are quite plentiful
and of q very good quality.

PAPERS throughout the North
and in all parts of the country are
teeming with reports of the grand
success of the South's grand indus
trial exposition at Atlanta. Visi-
tors from all parts of the country
are daily focking in and it bids
fair to surpass even the most san
guine hopes of its most ardent pro-
jectors. This is theIast month of this
superb displayo of southern enterprise
and pluck and every man throughout
the broad land who rejoices at this
unmistakable evidence of a New
South and the welcome dawn of a
new era of material prosperity and
development, ought to visit Allan
ia before the exposition closes.

IT may not be too late YET. Will
not the World turn from the error

They will lead you to destruction
Like whited sepulchures, they NAV
be fair without, but within they are
filled with political corruption.
They laugh in their sleeves and
say, Lets capture the World, it's
young and ambitious and easily Sc
duced and we want its energy and
influence to break down the 1908
settlement, and then when that is
done, it will either have gone too
deep in the mire TO withdraw its
support from US, or will have died

sizes or to an early grave. tTurn

Recent letters to friends and rela-
tives in this city from Mr.. Ossian
Young, an account of whose difficult
ty at Lake city, Col, with a man
named Bennett, was given in the
Chronicle some weeks ago, and
which resulted fatally to Ben
nett, he having died on the night
of the 18th of Nov, four days after
he was shot, state that his prelimi-
nary trial came off on the 18th, and
he was admitted to bail in the sum
of four thousand dollars to await his
trial at the next term of the Crimi-
nal court. 1t gives his many friends
here great pleasure to hear that he
had no difficulty in giving the re-
quired bond, eight of the very best
citizens of Lake City having volun-
teered to go on it. Co.'s. Gerry and
Stirman, two of the foremost law
yers at the Lake City bar, landing
in fact at the very head and front
of their profession in the State,
have taken his case in charge and
will see that he gets justice at the
hands of the law. His friends here
are glad to hear that he has been so
fortunate as to secure the services
of so able counsel and feel that his
rights will be well protected. We |
feel confident that Ossian will come |
through the unpleasant ordeal vim
1icated.

AN UNJUST COMPLAINT

The Nashville Banner in a very
pertinent and sensible article on the
equalization of taxation" very cor
rectly calls the attention of the peo-
pie to the very unjust discrimina-
ton in the assessment of lands in
West Tennessee for taxation. and
in this shows how unfounded and
unreasonable is the whining COM
plant of these West Tennesseeans
against what they are pleased to
term the 1908 coupon infamy and
80 years debt-bondage' which
would wiring a burdensome taxa
ton from the property holders.
The Banner states the fact that
while the assessed value of the land
in East Tennessee has been increas-
ed about four millions of dollars
and that in Middle Tennessee
seven millions, West Tennessee
has added to her landed value
only about one million. Every rea-
man can see the Injustice
of so great and unfair dIscrimina-
ton in favor of West Tennessee.
and that the inevitable result is
that of a much greater amount of
taxes falling to the share of East
and Middle Tennessee. "The lands
in West Tennessee rated, before the
war, as high, ii not higher, than in
either of the other grand divisions,
and while we have all perhaps fall
en- OFF, there is no business and good
why West Tennessee should
profit by a lower depreciation than
he Others" And yet she does it,
md is to-day paying lower tax in
to the true value of her |
axable property than any other |
portion of the State. This, howey-
II, seems to have no influence with
hese low-taxers and would be re-
They howl and howl
bout the burdens of taxation, and
would not be content if one-half of
heir lawful taxes were left uncol-
ected. They want to live under a
government without paying their
hare of the necessary expenses of
hat government. Those of them
7ho are engaged in this unhallowed
citation are unfair and unpatriotic
nd basely engaged in a despicable
cheme to dishonOr the fair name of

HE DIAGNOSES THEM.

We are very much of the opinion
of the doctor. We mean DIR. Sam'l
G. Armor, Dean OF the faculty of
the Long island College Hospital,
Brooklyn, n. Y, who remarked
the other day that "the world is
full of ilIy-balanced mental mon
strosities compounded of badly-ar-
ranged intellectual forces, feeble
moral faculties, and enormous self
conceit. Such people are a kind of
missing links between a low and
irresponsible animal type of brain
and the supreme ideal of perfect
humanity"
The doctor is undoubtedly correct.
but that he should have arrived at
such deplorable opinion of some of
his fellOw-beings is proof positiUe
that he has been reading some of
the low-tax reputation papers of
this State.

The Lost Jeanette.

Every year We read of ships thai
go out to sea never 10 return again
and we exclaim with Horace of ole
bound indeed with triple brass must
must be the heart of that timorous
sailor who first trusted his fraiI bark
to the tefnpestuouS waters. Over
two long years ago the brave ship
Jeanette left our shores bound on
an indefinable search for that mys-
FERROUS spot around which the re-
volving orb of earth turns its pom
derous bulk. She was to return in
two years. That time has passed
and as yet no tidings of the lost ship
have been heard. And now the
sad news is heard that Captains of
vessels recently arriving at San
Francisco from the Arctic ocean
express the unanimous opinion that
the missing steamer will never be
heard from. Can it be possible that
the bones of the gallant Captain
and timorous sailors of the advent
urous vessel are now lying bleached
and covered with eternal frost be-
side those Of the unfortunate Frank
lin? Where is the Jeanette? The
mystery of the thought is fascina-
ting.

THE little puny reputation re-
print sheets throughout the State
may fume and whine and howl and
cry "l0O-3 coupon infamy" and a.
that, but they can do no harm.
Their diatribes and anathemas
against the honest men of Tennes-
see fall still-born and pass away as
the idle whispering of the wind
which the people regard not. AS
long as such papers as the Ameri-
can, the Banner, the Murfreesboro
News, the Jackson Tribune and Sun
and others we could name, stand up
bravely and manly and fight the
good fight of honesty, of right and
of justice, the dearest interests of
noble old Tennessee are safe.

LET 1T BE SETTLED.

The Supreme Court meets at
Nashville on Monday. How much
unhappy wrangling and bitter strife
can De avoided, and how many in
Vulnerable blessings and untold adj
vantages will follow to tempest-toss-
ed and troubled, but still proud old
Tennessee, if this court will act. as
we conceive, clearly under the plain
and imperative law, and advance
the 1908 case on the docket and
settle it, either the one way or the
other, forever. This is what every
lover of his State ought to desire.
1t is what every man and citizen
who has perception and brains
enough TO take cool and careful
survey of the true situation most de-
voutly prays for. Who that is pat
riot enough to have the welfare
and prosperity of his native or adop-
ted state at heart but would rejoice
with exceeding great joy at the final
decision of this question, the agita-
tiOn Of which has worked great and
almost irrepairable injury to the
propesrity and material develop
ment of Tennessee. The voice of
one hundred and eighty thousand
men spoke in trumpet tones at the
ballot box at the last State election |
for its final and speedy settlement. |
Is this cry of the majority, this
mighty plea for peace and prosperi-
ty to go unheeded. Is the angry,
unwise action of a minority of her
citizens, led astray by set of dis
appointed and rabid repudiatiouist,
who hold self-aggrandizement and
the spoils of Office far above the
welfare of her people, to thwart the
wish Of the great majority, and dis
honor her fair name. God forbid.
Let the case be decided, all good
men say. Let it be decided by the
highest tribunal in the land and as
as possible. Whatever
that decision may be, all good men
and true will quietly acquiesce.
Any otiner aOurse is revolution and

THE REPUDIATsON Pow-wow

The scattered hosts Of Reputation
came together last Monday in
grand conclave at Winchester.
Savage, Wilson, Snodgrass and
Beasly were all there and the crowd
was complete. The mountain la
bored laboriously and brought forth
mouse. The grand pow-wow was
called together by the chiefs in or
der to indignate and give their tex
perience," and finally to unite all
the dissatisfied elements of the low
tax party first against 1908, and
then, through it, against 5O-4 or any
other settlement whatever except
reputation. OF course they were
all against 1908, but when it came
down to settling upon some other
basis, the warriors all seemed in
elined to rebel, and Confusion
worse confounded" reigned SUI
prene. They could not argue up
on any platform whatever. Some
wanted 90 4, Others 839, and Others
still (the majority it is safe to say)
did not want any settlement at all.
They boot at the idea OF 5O-4, and
say we will be dad blasted five have
any idea eff harmonizing with these
wolves i'm Sleeps clothing" aIet no
low-tax Democrat be led astray by
them They have deserted rotten
piratical ship 1908, seeing and
knowing that if they remain on
board that political death and des-
truction will be their portion. They
have taken up the 5O-4 and are
using it as decoy duck to divide
and defeat the low-tax Democracy"
The farcieal ending of this mass
meeting is the strongest proof pos
sible to all sensible and honest men
that these men do not want this
debt question settled at all. All
under Heaven they want to do now
is to break down the 1908, and then
they will show their true hand.
They are only unanimous in one
thing and that is for the spoils and
the offices. Their own unscrupu-
lous aims and personal advance
mtnt is all they desire, and hence
springs all their love for the "dear
people" In agitation, agitation
they see their only hope. They do |
not want it settled. The good citi- /!
zens of the State will not listen TO
these demagogues.
