sembly heard the complaints, saw

sembly heard the complaints, saw
the evil, appreciated the ine4uali-
ties oftaxation and sought to afford
relief by passing the present law.
1t may not do and is not perfect,
but let it be amended-not repealed
until full aad fair trial is given.
1t is a mistake to change our laws
so often. Let this be amended
when needed and thoroughly tested.
Laws have been unpopular at first,
but after being tried have become
corner-stones of the governmental
fabric. The four.mile was nearly
dead letter at first, but is now al
most as organic as the constitution.
The assessment law tried on it's
merits as shown by results COM
mends itself to voters and tax-pay-
ers. Already under 1t the taxable
property of the state is increased
between $50, ZOO. 600 and 100000,
900 most of which comes from per-
sonality. This is certainly a great
gain and will add to the treasures
of the state and counties an i'm
mense sum. This is:just so much
found for the ovsr-burdened lands.
If we are not well pleased with the
law in Giles We should, remember
that it may be benefit to the state
} at large. But is it not proving 9
, kenefit here in our own county
The aggregate is increased over
100000 and puts So, 200 in the gen
7 eral and county treasures. 1t may
have cost more, but il we put the
2 cost at ST., 200 and only 5000 under
J the old law we still have a cleal
gain of $1,000 Who is hurt
( by the new law? A few most ex
r cellent and clever gentlemen ar.
: deprived of the benefit of holding
r two offices-magistrate and asses
! sor-and are thus prevented from
picking up few honest pennies il
leisure times, but certainly thes
gentlemen are too patriotic to OPP
pose their interest to the genera
good. No one would accuse then
h OF such smallness surely.
: In agricultural counties like ours
the law, seeking as it does to re
: lieve lands and bring out persona
: property, ought to be popular. Ey
4 cry dollar of such property that i
4 brought to light will cut down tn
!. amount of taxes just that much.
Candidates and voters should pom
% der these matters carefully.

LINCoLN's CoUNTY's EVIDENCE.

AkNSOhN SOONl . 1fAOESSLs
She had none. One of her com
mittee did not say word. Anoth-
er one, Col. Hol nan, agreed with
Giles, and the third one. Mr.. Cald-
well, denied being present in 1884
At Columbia, as the reader re-
members, the Giles committee Of
Tered all kinds of compromise, and
each was rejected. The first moved
to refer 1t back to the people in pri-
maries and that the democrat get
ting the highest number of votes
be declared the nominee. They
then proposed to permit Lincoln to
furnish the candidates if they
would allow Giles to participate in
the primaries. Lincoln would lis
ten to no kind of compromise. AS a
last resort the Giles committee
agreed to refer it to the Lincoln
county committee, and two of their
men voted even against that.
1t was shown in argument that
during the ten years Giles and Lin
coin were foterially connected that
Lincoln had had the foatcr three
times out of five, and hence Giles
was asking nothing now she had
not conceded before. It was ar
gued that the action at Nashville
was regular and binding, being
done by the chairman of the two
county committees, and that it had
been actually ratified by Giles and
least acquiesced in by Lincoln; thai
whatever the usage is ordinarily
the specific contract superseded
usage in this case.
Every single man who remembers
being present, both In Giles and
Lincoln, gives positive evidence
of the contract, and yet Lincoln
without a syllable of proof outsid,
of the mere disclaimer of Mr.. Cald
well, last Saturday adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
That it is the opinion of this execu-
tive committee that Lincoln county il
entitled to the senator for the next tive
years and that no contract was evel
made varying the custom and usage o
two years alienation.
These are the facts. What i,
Giles going to do about it?

The Nashville Banner in an able
editorial defends Judge Peter Tur-
new against the attacks of the re-
publican press and some week
kneed democrats for his recent man
" utterances in defense OF southern
manhood. The Banner admires and
houors the frank manliness of Judge
Turney. The editor is entitled to
the thanks of the southern soldiers
for this defence. We regret we have
not the space to give the Banners
article entire. 1t winds up with this
paragraph:
But the southern people, the ex-
confederates, don't propose to teach
their children that their fathers
were criminals and traitors, and
that the honorable scars they bear
as mute testimonials TO their cour-
ace in battle are the badges of dis
grace. Not a bit of it. No brave
man expects them to so degrade
themselves.
