which county should furnish the

LINCOLN VS.. GILES.
Lincoln County Seizes the Seuatorship in
the Face Of the Proof.

CITIZEN readers were informed
last week of the failure of the two
committees from Giles and Lincoln
which met at Columbia week be-
fore last to agree rs to which coun-
ty has the right to furnish the SEN
ator this year. Giles claims it un-
der an agreement made between the
chairmen of the two county commit
tees at Nashville in June, 1884.
Lincoln denies the agreement and
claims it by rotation.
Last. Saturday Mr.. Laps. D. Nc
Cord went to Fayetteville to pre-.
sent the claims of Giles before the
Lincoln county committee and sub
mitted to them the testimony OF
five out Of seven of the men who
made the agreement-Mr. Grove
the then chairman of the Giles
county committee, and Messrs. r
P. Yancy, j. L. Pearcy and Laps
D. McCord, the three men appoint
ed by our chairman to arrange tn
matter, and Col. Holman, one O
Lincoln's men. We append thei

Mothers.

There are upon the skin of every hu-
man being, child and adult alike, 1900
900 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, is eX-
PEELED more than one-quarter of the
nourishment taken into the system.
The Importance Of keeping open these
perspiration valves upon child's body,
is second only to thBt of promptly d.
costing the food eaten. 1t was to open
the pores of the skin and to assimilate
the food that DR.. Pitcher formulated
Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation.
fesers and eruptions which are SO con-
slant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise prin-
c:pally from these two causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating
the stomachs and bowels ard keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Casto-
ria acquired its world wide reputation
With plenty Of water for the body,
pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
assimilate the food, there need be no
unaccounted for sickness among chill
dren. Castoria is vegetable prescrip-
ton without morphine or other narcotic
property. Thirty years extensive use
has given it history -yer attained by
another medicine.

Primaries for Senstor

The Giles county executive COM
mittee should order primary cleo
ton to be held for the U. S. senator
ship on the November election day.
1t should be held in a sepe,ate box
and be declared to be instructions
to our representatives and senators.
We not only settle vexing ques-
zion fairly, but by holding it ON cleo
ton day We get out more democrats
to the polls to vote the regular tick.
ct. There are men who will not 20
to the polls unless this is done.
Many are very greatly interested in
the senatorship and we thus decoy
them to the polls. Lincoln will
probably do this and Giles ought to
do it so as to instruct the senator
for the two counties. We urge the
committee to make the necessary
call. Certainly no man can object
to fair expression Of the democrat
ic voice.

The s enatorship.

To the Democratic Executive Conn.,
wittee of Giles County:-We your
committee appointed to confer with
the Lincoln county committee up
on the joint senatorship beg leave
to report that we went to consider
able trouble TO get up the facts in
the case and went to Columbia to
meet them, and failing there to eff
feet any compromise, we agreed to
to take it before the Lincoln county
committee at Fayetteville, which we
did. The facts in our opinion es-
tablish the right of Giles to name
the senator; notwithstanding this
we made several overtures of COM
promise. all of which were rejected
by the Lincoln county committee
We refer the committee to the let
tiers and statements 10 The CITIZEN
of Aug. %, and to the statements
in The CITIZEN of Aug. Is for a
minute account Of this transaction,
We endeavored to be conciliatory
and fair and to avoid harsh expires
sions and rupture. Lincoln coun.
ty had but one position throughout
viz, that she ought to have and in
tended to have the senator this
time and her executive committee
finally passed the resolution pub
lished elsewhere in this paper as in.
dicative of her determination. We
therefore respectfully refer the
matter back to the executive COM
mittee that appointed US with this
report of our action that you may
or may not act in the premises 81

MR.. YANCEY's LETTER.

GEN. LAPS. D. McCoRD: Yours
of the 18th inst. received this morn
ing. In reply will state that my
understanding of the matter referred
to by you is this: That four years
ago at Nashville when the demo-
cratic convention met in June to Sc
lect delegate to the national con-
vention and to nominate candi-
date for governor, that Capt. Grove
said to me he wanted me as one of
three to meet like number from
Lincoln to make some arrangement
by which Lincoln and Giles might
agree with regard to the state sena.
torshlp for the future; that it was
agreed that after that term Lincoln
was to have the senator and then
Giles was to have him for two terms
in succession; but then the question
was raised as to whether we had the
right or power to bind our county
OF not, and my understanding is
that we agreed that we did not, and
that it was further agreed that at.
ter we returned home the subject
should be brought o:the attention
ofeour people and thatlit would be
proper for committee to be ap-
pointed by the two counties re.
spectively which should settle the
matter. l don't think that this
was ever done.
Yours truly,

The Assessment Law.

To THE CITIZEN.
1t is probable that during the leg
islative canvass now "ning ON
in this county the ass essment
law passed AZ the las. session
of the general assembly will be put
in issue by one or more of the can
didates and in this way be indi-
rectly voted upon at the prim aries.
This makes it desirable that the
people shall have all possible infor
nation upon the matter. By way of
contributing some little in this di-
rection, attention is called to q few
facts.
1t is we'll known that the real es-
tate Of Tennessee has for years
borne nine tenths of the burden of
taxation. The last report of the
comptroller shows for taxation
about $230,000,000. OF this only
$26,0O0,O0O are personal property
and for years the proportion of per-
sonal to real property has been
much smaller. This has-remem-
ber-been the case under former as
sessment laws. Why has it been
so? Simply because real estate
cannot be covered: up and personal
| property can. The man or woman
who owns small home was forced
to pay full share of the taxes,
while the man who owns notes.
stocks and money, could conceal or
fail to report them. The poor little
farm on which the widow ekes out
meager support must be taxed,
while notes: &c, bringing the owner
from six 70 twenty per cent, goes
scott tree. There are instances in
this county of men who always have
plenty Of money to loan or with
which to buy notes, yet who claim
that the $1,000 exemption COW
ers all they have. In another coun-
ty there is a case where less than
$4,000 of personal property were
reported in q civil district for tax
atiol, where in fact the live stock of
two farms we're held at half mil
lion-one horse alone costing $685.
900. An examination of the tax
books will show men, who sit 10
the "Amen corners" of churches,
and report no personally beyond
81 900 when it is well known they
have thousands. When we look at
the immense personal property of
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga,
KNOXVILLE and GAINESVILLE and the
other cities and towns. When we
look at the great number of corpo-
rations, railroads, manufactures
etc, in the state, even after exemp-
ing $1,000 to each taxpayer, it is
absurd to say the personal property
in the state is only $4,000, 900.
Every thinking man knows the
state is being deprived of revenue
and the real estate unfairly bur-
dened because the personal proper
ty docs not bear its share of taxes.
Now, it was to meet this evil that
the new lag was passed. The
evil had been q crying one for
years. The old laws did not fur
nish remedy. Something had to
be done. 4 change had to be made
or - IA wrong continued. Gov. Rob't
L. TAYLOR VINO VAS the unanimous
choice again of the delegates rom
Gips, saw the evil and earnestly
urged the general assembly to so
legislate as to bring the hidden per-
sonal wealth to the light, so as to
pay its fair share. The general as

the conference of the two commit
tees from Giles and LINCOLN at
Nashville in June, 1884. The com
mittees were appointed by the chair
men of the democratic committees
OF Giles and Lincoln and after con-
sulting it was agreed that as Giles
had just had the senator once, Lin
should have it once, and that after
that the rotation should be changed
to every four years instead OF two,
the reasons for it being as stated by
Col. ,Pearcy. Since that time
have repeatedly, in The CITIZEN,
mentioned the agreement and have
always considered it as agreed to
and ratified by the two counties un-
til now. L remember that when we
came back and reported our action,
DIR. Edmundson who then candi-
date, quit the race IN obedience to
it and that when Col. Kercheval
was nominated by Lincoln l urged
our people to carry out our con
tract, using the following language
in The CITIZEN of Oct. 80, 1884,:
Giles agreed to vote for Lin
coins man if Lincoln would vote fol
ours. They did it two years ago
Now they nominate Col. Kercheval

rember during the June, 1884, con-
vention OF being in q conference OF
the Giles and Lincoln county dele
cations as to the senatorial matter
of which you write, the details of
which have almost passed out of my
mind, hut | remember it was in the
house of representatives., on the
side west of the speakers chair.
The chairman of the two county
executive committees were present.
| can't remember whether was ap
pointed to confer ABOUT it or
whether l was simply called into
the conference. My recollection of
the conclusion or agreement ar
rived at was that the single term
alterations of the senator was
changed so as 10 allow each county
TO have the senator for two success
sive terms. ::As to when or which
county was to furnish the senator
first un6e r the new arrangement ]
have no recollection now of what
vas said, hbut somehow !
have been under the impression
that Giles would name the senator
for 1886 and 1888. am satisfied
that the democracy of Lincoln
sill act fairly in the matter aud
that they will readily copeede the
senator this term :" Giles if they sfs
of the agreement to which
your refer. 1t may be that the ex-
committee of this county is

GEN. LAPS. D. McCoRD: AS ]
will not be able to attend the
convention at Columbia, I de
sire to make statement of my
recollection of the conference OF
agreement between the delegates
from Lincoln and Giles counties ir
regark to the senatorial matter
which is as follows:
At the state convention, the dele
gates from Giles called upon thu
Lincoln county delegation and the
matter was discussed informally
when a committee from each coun
ty was selected, posed of Col
Holman, Judge Caldwell and one o.
two other gentlemen from Lincoln
and Gen. Laps. d. McCord, Hon
r. P. Yancey and myself from Giles
county. Our committee met ant
entered into an agreement tina
Giles was to have the field one tim,
and Lincoln one time, after which
they were to alternate every fou
years;i. e.: Giles was to have tn,
senator four years, and then Lin
coin was to have it four years; ane
recall that it was urged as a rea
son for giving each county foul
years, that the senator representing
onr district, would be more familiar
with the duties and more efficient
and furthermore he or his friend.
would feel that be ought to be en-
dorsed if he had served his constit
uents faithfully and efficiently.
am, very respectfully,
j. L. PEARCY.
