1 number of prominent {

A number of prominent gentle
men of Nashville filed an applica-
ton in the office of Secretary of
State during the past week for a
charter of the Nashville Home
stead Association" 1t is proposd
by this organization to secure
homes for all members who join
the association who are unable to
buy homes. In other words, land
will be purchased and small houses
built. The member purchasing a
home will be required to pay taxes
and insurance on the same and six
per cent. on the cost to the associa-
ton, and an amount of rental at a
less rate than usually charged until
the house shall have been paid for.
1t is very much on the order of the
building and lean associations, and
could be made very BENEFICIAL to the
poor man.

SCovILLE and Read, Guiteau's
attorneys, have entered a motion
for new trial and arrest of judg-
ment in the District court, and also
filed bin of exceptions preparatory
to an appeal to the court en- banc.
The motion for new trial contains
eleven counts, chief of which is the
want of Jurisdiction in the court
which tried him. The motion was
argued before Judge Cox on yester-
day. 1t is generally conceded that
no new trial will be granted, when
AN appeal will be taken to the court
en- banc, which consists of the five
Judges of the District sitting to-
gether as court of appeals.

Mr.. A. l.. Lands Jr., the talented
young editor and proprietor of the
Shelbyville Gazette, has sold his
paper to Messrs. Frost & Russell,
and retired from journalism We
regret to hear of his retiracy, for by
this the press loses one of its best
and truest members, and the great
cause of justice and right in Tennes-
see one of its ablest and most ear
nest advocates and defenders. The
Gazette has struck brave and MANLY
blows in behalf of the honor and
credit of the State while under the
control of Mr.. Lands and we trust
she will continue to do so under it's
new prOprietors.

HON. sP'l.. HAL ON TEsE STATE
DEBT.


On our first page to-day, we re-
produce the clear, mastery and TN
answerable argument of the Hon.
Spiral Hill, of Trenton, Tenn, de-
livered to the Supreme court at
Nashville last week in behalf of the
State in the celebrated 1908 injunc-
tion suit. We regret very much we
have not the speech in full, this be-
ing only a synopsis. We bespeak
for it, however, a careful and
thorough perusal at. the hands Of
every one of our readers, be he
State-credit or lOw-tax. 1t is a
fair, honest, and unprejudiced ex-
position of the law bearing upon
the questions raised in the case, and
is so clear, so simple and so true,
so free from the tricks and sophis-
try of the pleader and the partisan,
that no sensible man, unless he has
become blinded by passion and by
prejudice can read it and not be-
come convinced by the sOundness
of his argument and the admitted
truth of his facts, that its passage
was constitutional and valid, and
that if it is carried out it will re-
dOund net only to the honor, credit
and glory of Tennessee, but also to
her material growth, development
and prosperity. Let thoughtful
men, men of brains and intelligence,
read il and ponder over it and if
they do this, we cannot believe
they will ever again desire its re
opening and agitation, should the
Supreme court decide it constitu-
tiOnal and binding.

1t is reported that the new Board
of Mayor and Aldermen are going
to pass an ordinance requiring the
police to be uniformed. We think
this good move and hope they
will carry it out. There is not a
city in the land of the size and pre-
tentiOns of GAINESVILLE which does
not require its police officers to
wear some kind of uniform or en-
sigma in order that they may be
distinguished from private citizens.
There are many good reasons why
they should be required to be in
uniform. 1t cannot be denied but
that it will be greatly in their favor
in the discharge of their official du-
ties by being an open evidence Of
their power and authority to all
offenders against the law. Very Of
ten an officer is resisted in the dis
charge of his sworn duties by
stranger who does not know his
authority and has no other evidence
of it than the officers assertion,
whereas if he wore uniform and
badge the offenders could see at
once under what authority he acted
and would not resist. This is but
one OF many and good reasons why
our police should be uniformed and
we have no doubt but that such an
action on the part of the city au-
thorities will meet with the approx
al of the citizens Of the city. The
plan proposed is for the city to fur
nish the present officers their first
uniform and thereafter all other
uniforms will have to be bought by
the police themselves.

From a reading of the election of
city officers last Wednesday night,
it may be seen that all the old off,
GERS were reelected except Mr.. r.
N. Rhodes, city attorney, who was
succeeded by Mr. Jno. j. West.
Mr.. Rhodes was a candidate for re-
election and was defeated. Why,
we do not know, for certain it is
that his record as city attorney is
that OF an earnest, active, able at
torney, one who has brought his
acknowledged talents and capacity
to bear in the faithful discharge of
his duties in defending the city in
the courts, and in pushing her
rights in every other question. All
we have to say is that his record
and the works he leaves behind him
and, his known capacity is a fit an
swer to any insinuation that may
be implied from his defeat. He
did all that any man could do in
the position, and he "who can do
more is none;" and had that high
standard OF fitness and capacity,
which was laid down by certain
members of the Board as the reason
for their voting for the rest of the
old officers, been adhered to by
them, he would most assuredly
have been re elected lie was de-
feated for reasons which we can but
believe were personal.
OF his successor, Mr.. John j.
West, we know him to be Il good
lawyer and thoroughly competent
to discharge any of the duties
which may arise in his official Ca
pacity. AS ii public journalist and
a member of the Board of Alder
men, we shall uphold and support
him and have no fears that what
we have said in all sincerely OF his
predecessor will be taken by him
or his friends as any reflection
on his acknowledged ability and
capacity.

RWTT
Full Report of the Yearly Bust
ness

On last Wednesday morning at
10 O'Clock the retiring Board of
Mayor and Aldermen met in the
City Hall 70 receive the yearly re-
ports of the committees and the city
officers. We publish below the re-
ports-in full and ask for them a
careful perusal by the citizens and
taxpayers of the city. The reports
show for themselves and give evil
dence of the earnest good work that
has been done by Mayor Crusnan
and his associates.
The next thing in order was the
swearing in of the new Mayor and
board by the retiring Mayor. After
the oaths were administered ex-
Mayor Crusman in few appropri-
ate and feeling remarks dismissed
his associates of the old board and
welcomed the incoming administra-
ton, assuring them of the hearty
goodwill of the outgoing officers
and of the belief of their successful
administration of the city's affairs.

THE effort of Mr.. Orth, of IDsli-
ana, aided by u number of Dem
Ocratic members, to pass law
whereby the House might select
its own committees, was defeated
in Congress last week. We hope
this movement will not be aban-
doned by its friends. We think it
a very judicious and wise reform
and should be pushed. The House
of Representatives should make its
own committees and have some say
in the legislation of the country.
1t is now practically under the con
troll of single man.

THE Dresden Democrat has
changed hands, and is now under

Dewey, who launches out in bold,
brilliant manner to uphold the
credit and good name of his State.
He starts out by saying that the
"Democrat will endeavor to be a
true exponent of State credit DEM
Ocracy." His first editorial on this
question shows that he understands
the subject and the salient points
therein made, cannot be answered
by the ''agitatOrs." We wish the
Democrat all success and shake

THE NASHVILLE World, persistent
in its demagogic course, is now
basely trying to mislead the people
by falsely stating that the compen-
sation allowed the funding board
for refunding the bonds of the State,
is to come out of the taxpayers.
The World knows well enough that
the bond holders themselves will
have to pay these fees. However,
we can hardly expect anything
better from a ten cent sheet, which
ekes out a scanty existence by pam
dering to those who wish to rise to
power by the ruin of their State.

THE report which has been wide
ly circulated that the railroad
bridge over the Tennessee river at
Danville had been washed away
is without foundation. We are re-
liably informed that no part of it
has either been washed away or
damaged to any serious extent.
The water was over it a few inches
and a great deal of drift-wOod lodged
against it, but workmen were con-
tinuously at work cutting and re-
moving this so that it did cOmpar-
atively no harm. The Tennessee is
reported as falling.

Anniversary Meeting OF the
CIarkSyiIle RibIe SOcietV.


The meeting was held at the
Methodist church and was called to
order by the President, Hon. d. n.
Kennedy, and the Secretary being
absent, Nj. w. J. Ely acted as Sec
rotary pro tenn. After reading a
newspaper report of the last annual
reunion at the Baptist church, this
city, the President read the various
reports, and an election OF officers
for the ensuing year took place.
AtthesuggestiOn of Rev DR.. Savage,
Agent for kentucky and Tennessee,
the last years officers were re-elect-
ed viz: Hon. d. n. Kennedy,
President; Mr.. r. f. McCullOch,
Secretary, and Mr.. Polk @. John
son, Treasurer.
After Introductory remarks by
the President, he introduced Rev.
DIR. Savage, a native born Kentuck-
ian, and an orator of unusual abil-
ity. He stated that our society was
organized in 1887, and had been
felt effectively in Houston, Stewart,
and Robertson, as well as our own
county. Rev. Mr.. Kay would be
recollected as giving faithful SER
vice and surrendering his life to his
zeal in the good cause SO closely
allied to the missionary sphere.
There is not a year Of the existence
of the organization that we may
not be proud of, so much so, that
the parent society has taken note of
it. GAINESVILLE is fully alive to her
duty as a Christian community.
The anecdote of the young Japanee,
who went half around the globe
with an American atlas, on one
page of which these words were
printed, sin the beginning God
created the world" and was trained
at Dartmouth for missionary work,
and is now President of a theolog-
ical seminary and college in Japan,
is entirely authentic, as is that of
the heather, who had never come
in contact with missionaries, but
learned Christ from a Bible Society
bible, was baptized or effused by
shower. The story of the marked
bible brought tears to many eyes;
and the touching and forcible re-
marks of the Rev. Divine opened
the pockets of our people to the eX-
tent of one hundred and seven
dollars for the diffusion of the Cos
pei among the heather.
The bible is translated and pub
lished in eighty different languages,
by the American Bible Society,
also in raised characters for the
blind. The various societies have
three hundred and thirty-tour ver-
sions of the scriptures in circulation.
These same elaborate publications
are published at the extraordinarily
cheap rate of twenty-five cents for
bibles and five cents for testaments.
After singing the missionary
hymn and the long metre doxolOgy,
the meeting was dismissed by Rev.
Mr.. Goodpasture.

THE bill for the congressional
apportionment of the different
States, as reported by the census
committee of the House, puts the
number of Representatives at $40.
Tennessee still retains her ten Con-
gressmeE. 1t was thought by some
that under the new apportionment
she would lose one member. The
increase in Representatives gives
the Republicans decided advan-
tage. It is stated that the bill will
be opposed by the Democrats and a
few Republicans and there is some
doubt of its passage.

order of the State Board of Health
for the information of the people.

ses of such measures shall constitute
county charge, and the court may
