TAXES AND COURT COST.

are entirely too high and one es-
pecially bad feature in Ten

sale of property for taxes.

man is unfortunate and is not
able to pay his taxes when they
b ,come due. Then percent is

otherwise would be which is hard
enough but it would not be half

but it does not. If not paid with
In a certain length of time it goes
into the Chancery Court and is
sold, adding big bill of costs,
which is often many times the
amount of the original tax.
This is not right and not neces-
sary. The law ought to be chang
ed. There are other methods
the same results could
be obtained with comparatively
small costs and it ought to be so
hey could be used.

LACK OF COURTESY.

| One of the glaring disgrace to GU
woven and girls is the careless, rud
way ia which SO many of our me,
aad especially our young men treat
| them.
There is often rudeness and dis.
gusting way about them that il
shameful.
We must treat the other sex with
different kind of manners to what
they are too often treated. and we
must have respect for them if we ex
pect others to respect them as we de-
mand but rare receive.
Our mothers, wives, sisters, daught.
ers, and sweethearts, should have a
feeling of love for them and method
of treatment shown to towards them
very different to that which is often
shown.
A go, we must remember that while
others we may meet are not of our
own family they are of some one else's
and that they should receive the
same treatment We want given our
own sister.
Our people kpo full well how to
reat lady as is evidenced by their
treatment of white ladies under most
circumstances, and it is enough to |
make the blood boil to witness the
Inference of treatment often seen.

THE TASK Is NOT AN IMPOsSI
BILE ONE.

Many good men and women are
nearly heartless to-day over the
great task before the race before
it attains to that which are among
the possibilities. The outlook is
gloomy enough viewed from one
stand point. But the darker the
shadow necessarily the stronger
the light, and viewed from an
other stand point it Is just as
bright as it is gloomy viewed
from the other.
No other people have ever
made such headway as ours in
the past twenty-five years, cir
cumstances being tho same. If
the ratio of progress is the same
for reasonable length of time,
compared to races, ours will be
one of wonders.
But, this is not going to be done,
necessarily can not be done, ex-
cept at the expense of the most
lncessant toll and by the full
obediance to the moral, spiritual
physical laws governing our being.
The future is full of promise or
full of peril just as we make.

MORE FOOLISHNEss.

The state legislature is again
fooling with the rail road bill.
Lhe more they tinker with it the
worse they will make it. 1t will
be to the interest of every rail
road in Tennessee to have mills
factories, furnaces etc. built along
their lines and if they are willing
to help a new enterprise let
them do so, and help build up
the interests of the state in so do-
ing, but it is to be hoped hat for
the sake ef partisan purposes GER
tain members of the Legislature
vii not be able to saddle a dan
gerous law upon the state.

tongues and heads of fools and
biggots goes to wagging.
If our people would resolve to
patronize no rail road except in
case of necessity, allowing such
dissemination as many roads in
the south encourage, then the
roads would see to it that better
Accommodations were furnished.
To many spend their time and
money going to picnics or on long
trips that need the money for
something else.
The rail roads and people are
to blame In this matter and when
the people correct the evil on their
part then the roads will have it
to do.
1t is not a matter of social life
half so much as it is business and

SATURDAY, FEB. 2s, 1891,
CoWARpIcE.

But few believe that the great
er part of the injustice done oul
race arises from moral cowardice
Nevertheless it is a fact.
If the better feelings of the old
slave holders or their children
prevailed to-day the amount OF
lawlessness and crime directed
against our race would be small
to what it now is. It is not of the
old aristocracy of the south that
he persecution is comiag but
from those who never owned
slaves, or if so of the brutal
masters.
There is a large class of whites
in the south who are afraid to
.tenter No world of competition
with the ex-slave. They never
haSaanything before the war and
in many cases were lower even
than the negro in the opinion of
the welthier classes. They re-
sorted to any kind of trickery to
gain a standing in the communi-
ty in which they lived and now
they resort to all the crimes they
consider necessary TO give them
the mastery, and while they are
doing this the better element is
silent.
A southern man can stand any
thing but being laughed at by his
own people or to be considered
antagonizing the publicsentiment
of the community. This causes
MIN to keep quiet and sss inJust-f
s,e perpetrated when he knows it
is wrong.
The lawless drunken sons of the
better classes and the lower the
other class relered to is the cause
of the larger part of the trouble
and if it was not for the dread Of
facing an isrue different from the
existing condition of things, there
would be a change in a very short
length of time. Why this charac. ,
tsristic exists is a puzzle to many ,
nd a curse to us.

There is curious legend connected
with the bells of Messingham church.
1t is said that long, long time ago a
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on a stile in the churchyard and saying,
"Come to church, Thompson, come to
church, Brown" and so on. Being very
much surprised, he asked whatit meant,
and was told that, having no bells, they
called folks to church in this way. The
traveller remarked that it was a pity so
fine church should be without bells,
and at the same time asked the men if
they could make three for the church,
promising to pay for them himself.
They undertook to do this. They were
respectively a tinker, carpenter and
shoemaker When next the traveller
passed that way he found the three men
ringing three bells, which said, cling,
tong, plutf," being made respectively of
tin, wood and leather!-London Tit-Bits.
