/, Is noticeable that interviews with
nearly u hundred Congressman have
shown that among the number hardly
any are in favor OF aboilshing the tax on
whiskry. II is possible that the selec-
ton Of subjects for the interviews from
among the men favoring other rcduc-
tions has something Ia do with this
ungnimi,y; bu, II Is, on the other hand
iI'lisuulablc that lhe lax Is one which
no rGrty can afford Ia oppose.
The tax on whiskey is at once the
easiest paid and the iairest In principle
that is TO be found In our tax lists. No
man who drinks whiskcy feels the tax.

of the tax is that IL is levied upon an

The Commercial Club

A.
! A called meeting of the club was
held in its rooms Tuesday night for
the transaction of special business.
As the club had not hitherto had an
opportunity to express an opinion
regarding the Nealo railroad propo.
siuon, the matter was brought up
and after discussion the following
resolution was adopted:
4 RESOLVED, unanimously by the
club, that we endorse the proposition
of Mr.. Neale to build railroad
through this county, and that this
club believes it to be greatly to the
advantage of this city and county to
support said proposition.
More members were present than
at any previous meeting, which evil
denc6d aietronger interest. 1t Is just
beginning to be realized that the
club was organized for a purpose, and
those who have already enrolled as
members, are determined that it shall
accomplish its mission, and be Of
vast benefit to the city, county and
state. The citizens should encour-
age the club in every possible way,
and those who are filled with spirit
of enterprise should join and lend
their aid aud influence.

complete fools in the county, and thai
theyeould be easily bought. lIesays :
"Nou must remember one thing, a
vote fGvoring its submission is not
vote fayoring the tax" (meaning a
submission of the Neal railroad prop
osition,) as ii every blockhead that
has sense enough to read ne wspaper
does not know that Then no says,
"Of course YOU have tho legal right to
refuse this permission, but you have
no moral right to do so.' We take
the position, and we believe every
honorable man in the county will
agree with us, that sour Magistrates"
not only have both the legal and
moral right to refuse to submit the
proposition, but 1t is their legal aud
moral duty 10 do SO, if in their wis
dom they think it is to the best inter-
est of the county. lie seems to insin.

for Magistrates it believes them to
be honorable, high-tOned men," but
seems to think they are not so honor
able aud high-toned that they do not
need watching to keep them from be-
ing bought, and the New Era will
watch them, and when the time comes
let the world know how they vote, as
if he expected they would cast their
votes in secret and be ash tmed or
afraid to let the world know how
they voted. Now, we believe sll OF
"Our Magistrates" are honorable
hi gh-toped gentlemen, aud that it
wilgnet require the vigilant eye ofthe
New Era 10 watch over them TO keep |
them from being bought. Aud, fur
thermore, We believe they have TOO
much honor to be bulldozed, by any
thing the New Era might say, into
voting for anything contrary to their

they are called upon they will vote
for what they think to be for the best

from there he goes to the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary atLou-

or more taking theological course,
after which he will enter upon min
isteral work.
Mr.. Rust has q fine mind, is
a man of deep thought aud is fluent

church. He'was born at Bethel Fs-'
male College in the same room in
which his child was born, and has
been raised in HopkiHsVille. lie is
the first man born here that the Bap--
