The Naturk Source Of Revenue.

In rude state of society where there
is no need for common expenditure,
there is no value attaching to land. The
only value which attaches there is to
things produced by labor. But rs civil
ization goes on, as a division of labor
takes place, as men come into centers,
SO do the common wants increase, and
SO does the necessity for public revenue
arise. And so on In that value which
attaches to land, not by reason of any
thing which the individual does, but by
reason Of the growth of the commu-

inquired Mr.. White in conclusion, lis it
not an admission that the present sys-
tenn is hindrance to production, and
that our proposed system would encour-
age manufactures to the same extent?
Do you wish to encourage or retard
the development of the various en-
terprises in which our citizens are en-
gaged?"
Mr.. White was followed by President
Harding, on behalf of the Federation of
Labor, which, after full discussion,
had asked for the SPECIAL committee,
not because it was prepared to accept
the single tax, but because it was ready
to receive light from any and every
source. II can not say that fully be-
ieve in single tax" said Mr.. Harding,
''but can say that 1 believe it would
be great Improvement upon the sys-
tenn now in vogue. No man will deny
that taxes now fall heaviest on those
least able to bear them, nor will any
one maintain that these taxes do not
hamper, discourage and retard industry.

vious and terrible evils, and am there

Mutual BENEFIT VS.. Northwestsrn.

My little card published in We'd

of Mr.. G. A. Gossett's policy seems
to have both ratified and nettled the
agents Of the Northwestern, as in
their reply they entirely misquote
me. / did not say that Mr.. Gossett g
first dividend would have been
$24.64, A per cent. l said II he had
been insured in the Mutual Benefit
at the same time and for the same
amount, that on May rs he would
have received not $12.O8, but $24.64 /;
l now say it again and mean what l
say. The Mutual Benefit pays div
idend on the first year of the life of a
policy, and for the past two years has
paid dividends of from % per cent.
on policies written in 1889 up to 66
per cent. on policies written in 1916.
The Northwestern does not pay any
dividend until the second year of the
life of policy, and in this way dur
ing the period in which the North
western paid one dividend the Mu
tual Benefit paid two. II the agents
of the Northwestern were half a.

BEN AND JOE.
The Man From Texas, and the
Tennessee Congressman.
They Arrive in olarksville on the Morn
ing Train And Are Net by
Friends at the Depot.
SPEAKING NEAR GREENWOOD.

The Elkton train brought to the
city this morning two distinguished
men. They were Ben Terrell, the
sub-Treasury apostle, OF Texas, and
Joseph e. Washington, congressman
from this district. They came for
the purpose of discussing the pOliti-
cal issues of the day.
When Ben Terrell made the ap.
Pointment to speak here today the
Alliance leaders gave 1t out that time
would be divided with any man who
was opposed to the measures that are
being advocated by Mr.. Terrell.
Joseph f. Washington was the man
selected to meet MIR. Terrell in joint
debate, but up to this morning it
looked like he would not be on hand,
he having been absent some time in
the East. A telegram was received
in this Office, however, from Mr..
Washington this morning, stating
that he would be on hand and would
meet the Texan in the grove near
Greenwood cemetery and cross
swords with him.
When the train rolled in this
morning both gentlemen were
aboard and large crowd was there
to meet them. They were taken In
hand by friends and were driven to
the city, and thence to the grove.
An unusually large crowd followed
them, and much interest was taken
in the political event of the season.
AT THE GROVE.
The crowd ct the grove has been
variOusly estimate d at from 400 to
600 people, nearly all of them from
the country. MIR. Terrell began
speaking shortly after arriving at the
stand and was followed this evening
by Mr.. Washington. A synopsis of
their speeches will be published to-
morrow.

DtARcf0asl MEETING.
The Free Bridge Petitions the Most tms
portant Subject.

The Commercial Club directors
meeting last night was attended by
F. p. Gracey, M. III. Clark, DIR. Mara
BILE, w. B. KincannOn, E. T. Peck,
M. Savage, DIR. N. l.. Carney, and b.
H. Owen.
The subject Of most importance up
for discussion was the free bridge pc
titions. When the Commercial Club
decided to take hold of the matter
they thought there were at least 500
voters in the city who would sign a
petition asking the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen to donate $500 to-
ward building a free bridge across
Red river near the mouth Of West
Fork.
1t will be remembered that petit
tons were circulated by wards and
that the work has been pushed for.
ward with considerable zeal for the
past two weeks. The result Of this
work has been very satisfactory
to the Commercial Club directors,
and the petitions in the aggregate 20
over their anticipations. The total
number OF voters who have signed
the petition is 568. This is within
105 OF the vote cast for mayor in the
last election. The petitions have all
been called in, and the chairmen of
the ward committees were, by reso-
luton last night, requested to be
present at the meeting Of the Board
OF Mayor and Aldermen next Thurs.
day night, when the matter will be
pressed before that body. Capt. F.
P. Gracey was instructed to deliver
the petitions to the respective alder
men and let them see how their con-
stituents stand on the matter. There
was also something said about hav-
ing the petitions published, but no
final action was taken.
Considerable time was taken up in
discussing the free bridge question
and all the advocates of the meas
ure seemed in good spirits over the
result.
There is no doubt that the people
OF GAINESVILLE and Montgomery
county have paid enough tribute to
turnpike companies. They prefer
taxes in different way if they have
to pay them at all.

in the Eleventh district, at noon yes
terday, aged 81 years. He was the
father of Mrs. Mary McReynolds and
Ralph w. Jett, of this city. For two
years his health had beeen failing.
Thinking a change would be beneti-
cial, he decided to spend awhile al
the old home place, where he had
lived so long and reared large fam
lily, but he continued TO grow more
feeble and was never able to return
to his home with his daughter in
this city. He was born and lived in
this county all his life. Mr.. Jett
was a successful farmer, indeed a
very practical man, honest and up
right in all his dealings. He had
been "a member of the Methodist
church from his youth, but on &C
count of feeble health and impaired
hearing had not been able to attend
church service for several years
He was twice married four children

nolds and Il. w. Jett, of this city,
Robert p. Jett, of Sango, and Ben F.
