Another Citizen Has Griev.
Rnces.

A few days ago mention was made Of
Cynthia street citizen who received q
notice to call at the Circuit Court Clerks
office and pay over a lot Of money 10 re-
deem his property, which had been sold
for unpaid toxes. The citizen was sur
prised as he believed he owed no taxes
and he was inclined to the belief that the
tax eaters were trying to play joke on
him,
Upon repairing to the Clerks Office Of
the Circuit Court he found there was nc
joke about it. He owed certain taxes and
a bill Of fees, or penalties, Of 81 75 which
sum proved to be the meat of the joke and
the toxeaters' perquisites.
Another citizen had like experience
in the same neighborhood, and he accost-
ed Representative Of this paper yester-
day with II say, that must have been

SIR
The gentleman exhibited his receipt for
taxes and also his notice from the County
Clerk saying "Your lot has been sold for
the liquidsting taxes Of 1889. You can
redeem the same in this Office without in
terest and penalties if paid before the lst
Of November next. After that date heavy
penalties will be added" Signed, Jos.
Uhl." The taxpayer was little sur
prised as he is prompt man in the settle
ment of all obligations, and he thought
when he paid Sl42. As on the 23d Of June
last by check on the Union and Planters
Badk he had settled all claims just and
unjust to date. Not, however wishing TO
leave hi property embarra ssed, should he
leave it to his widow and children some
day he at once repaired to tee
Clerks Office, and there found that bill
ofS27 so was charged up TO him on per-
sonality tax Of s per cent on the 500, also
81 for poll tax, which he had paid and had
a receipt for. He cannot understand how
it Is that the tax collectors and tax eaters
split up his account so as TO make two
bills, one to come in late and catch him
for the penalty ofs1.7j, with more to fol-
low after the end of next month unless
settled speedily. He paid the claim, first
requiring the 81 poll tax to be erased, and
the tax eater will not get him, but how
many Others are in like condition
there is no means of finding out. Doubt
less there will be fat picktngs for the tax
eaters after next month.

CHATTANOOGA had an election
Tuesday, the 9th, for Mayor, Alder.
man at Large and FIVE Aldermen-one
from each ward. The Times of We'd
nesday says:
The election yesterday passed off very
quietly. The vote was hght-much lighter
than expectcd-but the interest in the
contest has never been equaed in this
city, additional interestest being aroused
by The closeness of the Mayoralty con-
test. As will be seen by the table given
below Mr.. Hugh Whiteside was elected
Mayor, defeating M, Snyder by nine
votes.
The voters all bad 10 be
registered, and there may be defects
in the registration, and the Times
says: These numerous defects dis.
franohised at a low calculation no less
than 200 voters. Strange to say, they
were chiefly white, the colOred voters
having been registered with more sys-
tenn and exactness." The can
didates for Mayor were Hugh
Whiteside, Democrat, received 1894
votCsand Charles Snyder, Republican,
1915; Whitesides majority, nine votes.
j. w. Henderson, Republican, re-
ceived 1924 votes for Alderman at
Large; L. L. 7. Dickinson, 124l; Hen
derson's majority, 50. The FIVE
other Aldermen are all Republicans.
But there is a contest in the Fourth
ward, and if the vote is thrown out it
will admit the Democratic candidate
for Aldermen at Large and one other
Democratic alderman. This election
is an important step toward municipal
reform, and therefore is to be hailed
with pleasure. 1t illustrates the facts,
however, that are not so pleasant.
First, the people have not learned only
the Importance of Kicking aside polit.
ical machines and demanding the best
business talent in the administration
of local governments; and secondly,
the colored voter values the newly
acquired elective franchise much
higher than the white voter, who al
ways had the principle. Towns and
cities should be governed in an eco
Domical manner by more of executive
ability and honesty, rather than by a
party and the nominees of caucus,
Of all places we know Of, Chattanooga
most needs a business government;
but the Republican party is not willing
to give up, or even divide the power,
and seeks to cripple the place by a
political administration, elected by
ignorant classes aud by ward BUM

Lensthoning Out short Women

If the London World is to bo be
lieved, contrivance for adding from
2 to 81 inches to the height Of women
who have the courage TO undergo the
pain and trouble OF stretching process
lasting from to 6 weeks, has been put
in operation. The woman who is to
undergo the process is encased in a
very tight corset, and her feet are
placed in shoes weighted with 90
pounds Of lead each. She is then
placed in machine consisting Of a ring
which encirclcs her waist, and sus-
pended from the ceiling at such q
height as to prevent her feet from
touching the floor. The pressure Of
the corset forces the upper part Of the
body upward, aud the weight Of the
shoes stretches her from the waist
downward. II Is estimated that the
extreme length TO which the spine can
be stretched by the process thus de
scribed is two inches, and that the knee
and hip joints can DO stretched an
inch and ahalt more.
