HOW WOULD SINGLE TAX EFFECT
THE FARMERS?

In my last article on the single tax, I
promised to write another showing the
effect the adoption of it would have
upon the farmer. Hence the following:
I believe that in order to make the
farmer prosper, you must make all other
productive industries prosper; and that
in order to do this, we must adopt gen.
sral laws, and not local and special. So
will in this article speak OF the general
prosperity that will come upon the
adoption Of Single tax, as we'll as to
the farmers specially.
Twill refrain from leading the reader
through a bewildering list OF statistics
and figures, Or as nearly SO as l can, for
whenever I try to talk to a man or read
an article from a writer upon a subject
snd he begins unloading whole avalanches
OF statistics and columns OF figures onto
me, / have long since learned to throw
up my hands at once. Not that this
may not be a good mode OF reasoning,
but the difficulty lies in proving the
statistics. Invite attention to the fol
H.H.n
lowing:
Suppose you want to buy a farm; the
one you pick on has improvements worth
81, 1000, the bare land is worth $4,000.
You pay $4,000 for it. Now, this 5000
you pay for the bare land is capitalized
rent. or rent paid in advance, and your
annual rent for this land is the average
rate OF interest, say seven per cent per
annum. on $4,000, which would be $3.50,
which you are deprived OF; that il, you
pay this for the privilege Of using land,
The free gift OF nature, for which you get
nothing in return and does not add a.

i came from the hand Of the Maker.

BACE FROM CHATTANOOGA.

The Central Represented Before tie
Interstate Commercs Commission.
Maj w. F. ShsIlman, traffic manager Of
the Central railroad, and A r Lswton, Jr
Esq, counsel fer the road. have returned
from Chattanooga, where they represented
the Central railroad before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at a session called
70 near the complaint Of the Chattanooga
board OF trade, representing the city, against
the southern railway and steamship lines
centerlng In or having connection with lines
ceneerlng IL Chattanooga, which CITY
charges that it is being Disseminated against
by the railroads. who are transporting
freight from the seaboard points
through Chattanooga TO Memphis
and Nashvile at less rate
than to Chattanooga, and that the
rates charged TO Chattanooga are unreason-
able.
The members of the commission we're
Judge W. r. Morrison. presiding, Gen. ".
l.. Bragg ami Gen. W. S. Veazev. The
commission sat Thursday and Friday.
Lengthy testimony was taken from both
sides, especially on the part of the city.
The reply of the railroads denies that
Chattanooga Is Disseminated against, or
that the rates charged to Chattanooga are
too high, or that the rates given TO the
law. 1t was not denied by the railroads that
freight was transported from eastern
points via the southern ports to Nashville
and Memphis at less rate than to Chatta-
nooga, but assert that the competition
with water freights compels them to make
certain rates TO Nashville and Memphis
which they could not afford to give TO
Chattanooga.
After hearing the testimony from both
sides the commission adjourned It's session
to allow written argument to be made by
the attorneys of both sides, which will be
considered by the commission.
MORNING NEWS reporter had talk
with Maj Shellman yesterday on the case.
Maj. Shellman said: The southern roads
have to compete with the eastern lines from
New York via Cincinnati to Nashville and
Memphis, which lines do not touch Chatta-
nooga at all, which compels the
southern roads to make the same
rates to Nashville and Memphis as the east
ern lines. The railroads think that the
circumstances and conditions are different
at Chattanooga from what they are at
Nashville and Memphis, and that this does
not come under the long and short haul
| clause, by reason of the difference of condi-
tIons existing at the different points named. p"

A Babes Two Funerals.
Frona the Globe. Democrat.

COLUMBUS, IND, Nov. 10-Ole Of the
most profound sensations came to light here
this evening. Solomon Seal was married
to Amanda Wilmington 10 New Albany in
1885. By this marriage a baby was born
and lived to be year old. when it sckened
and died. The father and mother disagreed
as to the place of interment Of their child,
the mother wanting it inferred at a New
Albany cemetery, the father at the cenne-
terry in this city. The corpse was prepared
for burial at this place, aud the father took
last farewell look at the dead babe and
went from the room, when the mother went
to the coffin, took the body from it, and
concealed 1t in the residence. The funeral
proceeded, and the parents both attended
the interment of the empty casket 10 the
city cemetery here.
o. the following day the mother went to
New Albany. at which place the body of the
little babe was inferred, according to the
wish of the mother. The secret reached
the husband to-day by the presenting of a
second bill for funeral expenses. When
questioned regarding this, the wife and
mother broke down and admitted the above
facts to be true. The father is distrac led
aud has abau doned his home aud is wild
with grief.

ROMANCE AND REALITY.
Wonderful Matrimonial Record OF a
Tavern Keepers Daughter.


Tavern Keepers Daughter.
From the Pitfsbtr0 Dispatch
BRADFORD, Pa, Nov. 10.--Ten yeas ago
the little tavern at Emerson's Mills, in tho
Pine Run lumber region, was kept by a
noted character, Elias Benton. He had a
very pretty daughter named Betty. Her
mother was dead, and she looked after the
household affairs of the tavern. She was
10 years old, and Edward Shott. a bark
contractor, young and well-to-do, was in
love with her and wanted to marry her.
Betty wanted to marry young Shott, but
her father had other plans, and she was
compelled to obey him.
He chose for her husband a man three
times her age, who owned a large pine tract
III the neighborhood, a valuable property,
that Landlord Benton was anxious to pos
sess. He compelled his 10 year-old daugh-
ter to marry this man, Aulds by name. He
only lived six months, and left his young
widow the pine land, which her father sold
and appropriated the proceeds to his own
use. Young Shott had in the meantime
closed all his contracts and gone away.
One year after the death CT her husband
young Airs. Aulds married. to suit her
father, John Grover, a sawyer. He was
killed in his employers mills one month
later. The landlords daughter was now
twice q widow, although she was not yet Is
years old. Two months after her secoad
husbands death Edward Shott returned to
Emersoa's Mills, and on her 18th birthday
young Widow Grover, who had grown def
ant Of her father, married her old time love.
The couple lived happily for a year, and
one child was born. The child was not wv O
weeks old when the father was crushed to
death by falling tree in the woods
Widowed now for the third time, the
landlords daughter mourned he- third hus-
band sincerely for two years. Then her
father died. At the age of 2l she made
what was regarded as most fortunate mar
riage, her fourth husband being Elmer
James, a young Warren county lawyer.
James turned to drink, and she had no
difficulty in obtaining q divorce, which was
granted four months after she became Mrs.
James.
She remained a widow until she was %,
when she married George Rhone, a
widower of So He was a prominent man
in the locality. Before they were married
a year Rhone died with smallpox. His
young wife nursed him all through the
course of the dreadful disease, escaping
without taxing it herself. Rhone left his
widow $4,000 in cash. She was then not
yet "a years old. Not long after her last
husbands death she took her child and went
to Ohio, where she mad relatives living
This was one year ago. Last Tuesday she
wrote to friend in this city that she was
to be married the next day in Covington,

TIE THINGs WE EAT.
Sanitary Inspector Dssvsrgsrs Aftt
the Market Authorities gain.

Sanitary Inspector Dssvergers After
the Market Authorities again.
Inspector Desvergers OF the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report of in
spections Of food produce in the Savannah
market for the week ending last night, says
that dressed meats of all kinds averaged
good in quality, though affected somewhat
IN condition by the humidity and suitriness
of the weather
Poultry. both dressed and alive, and game
also averaged good; also oysters, clans and
shrlmps. Fish were inferior. Picked aud
corned meats, trlpe, pigs feet, sauSages and
meat buildings averaged good. Vegetables
were hardly fair. Fruit. such as apples,
oranges, bananas and grapes, was good and
plentiful.
The inspector reports the repairs and i'm =
proyement of the market house again
suspended, leaving the place but partially
improved in its sanitary conditions. His
observations as a sanitary inspector have
convinced him that municipal authorities
cannot be too particular as TO the sanitary
conditions of the places in which
the peoples food is exposed and handled.
and that 1t is therefore unfortunate that a
city which derives a net revenue from its
market of $12, 722 % as shown in the last
mayors report, cannot appropriate an
Improvements, and place its market house
IN a sanitary condition.
During the past week the cobble -stone
pavement around the market was reeking
with filth taken from foul coops, trans.
ferred. after long transportation, from the
cars to the market square. Filth enough is
brought to the market square in this man
nor to breed disease and infect the entire
neighborhood. The Inspector says that it is
almost impossible to cleanse the cobble-stone
pavement of the stuff emptied or busted out
of these GOODS into the innumerable cavities
and hollows
The Inspector says in his report that he
hopes, now that the Louisa King Ass cia-
ton VIII resume its humane work in SavaQ-
nah, he will be spared the pain of again
witnessing the cruel torturing OF creatures
which must yield their lives for mans sus-
tenance, during transportation, as narrated
in several of his former reports.

PASTORS AT OUTS.
The Guyton Religious Controversy
Breaks Out Again.

The Guyton Religious Controversy
Breaks Out Again.
The Lanier-Scarboro religious war at
Guyton has broken out again. This time il
appears to be three-cornerei fight. Par
son Lanier. some time since, received call
from citizens around Outland to preach for
them once a month.
Elder Cooper, of Scriven county, con-
ceived it TO be his duty to break up this
arrangement by writing two column doc
ument to the SyLudnid Telephone. advising
the psople not to attend this service that
Parson Lauier had been expelled from the
church at Guyton. aud did not possess the
prerogative to administer spiritual comfort
to his people. Parson Lanier replied to
Elder Cooper's document in pretty
severe terms, and at the same
time gave the Guyton religious court
which tried him few lively raps. This
seems to have trodden upon the toes of Rev.
j. A. Scarboro, who is the pastor of the
Baptist church at Guyton, and he, too, has
entered the fight with a vim likely to
produce serious results.
Parson Lanier makes the announcement
through his paper, the Chronicle, that
reply is now being prepared to Rev. Scar
boro, which will be forthcoming when he
looks little more after Elder Cooper
This three-cornered controversy between
we'll known Baptist divines promises to be
rich and racy. and will afford an immense
amount of amusement to the public.

BARREL THIEVES A. WORK.
The Small Boy Laying in His Stock
OF Christmas Bonfire Fuel.

LO SLAIAl 10y A6N Ink III his oIOCk
OF Christmas Bonfire Fuel.
The festive youth is already preparing for
Christmas bonfres, and barrels left on the
street after dark nowadays disappear as if
by magic Crowds OF small boys can be
seen gathering in the different squares any
night just after darkness sets in, and after
short discussion IN low and subdued tones,
they scatter in different directions with a
common purpose of stealing every barrel
or box they can lay their hands on.
They skulk through the lanes in the vi
cinity of the business houses, and when they
come across a barrel filed with trash they
do not hesitate TO dump its contents on the
ground and carry off the barrel to some
convenient yard, where they pile their goods
until Christmas, when they will be brought
forth to illuminate the city.
The youngsters keep so well posted upon
the movements of the police that they
know exactly at what moment the officers
get TO the different corners of their BEATS
They travel generally in pairs and when
a barrel or box is secured one takes hold Of
each end, and it is only a question of
few moments when the barrel or box is
resting quietly among others of its kind.
The barrel fiends will ask man for the
one generally in front of his door, and if
refused they take special pleasure IN hang
ing around until the place is closed for the
night, and then with chuckles of delight
pick the article UP and carry it away before
the owner has sometimes gone half block
While this petty thieving is a great
nuisance to business men, and housekeepers
as we'll, it is something which has existed
for time immemorial, and will probably
continue as long as there is small boy
living. They do not realize that they are
committing a grievous offense, but consider
il the hight of fun.
1t is useless to blame the authorities for
the continuance of the evil, as the young
sters keep SO we'll posted that it is almost
impossible to capture them.
