Bob TaylOr's Dream Of the Future.

Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor, talking to
a Chattanooga Times man, said:
"Whsn a mere bpv on the farm
on the banks of tile Watauga river,
/ used to steal an hour occasionally
to sit under the sycamore trees aud
dream of the future. / thought
that if could get off of the farm
and III the city and be lawyer
my cup of happiness would be full.
went TO the city, learned a few
legal phrases, and my ambitions
were to GO into politics. NY people
sent me to congress, where l sat for
two years with the great men of
the country. My dream was then
to be governor of Tennessee, the
greatest state IN the Union, and
thought my happiness would be
complete. For two terms the PEG.
pie of Tennessee honOred me with
the position of Chief Executive.
My ambitions have all been reallz-
ed have mingled with the great
and rich men Of the country, and
have been on a high pinnacle in
politics; but / say to you that after
n careful review of the past, l sigh
to rest me under the shadows of
the old sycamore trees OH the Wa
tauga, and live again the life of a
farmer boy. There alone is perfect
peace, joy and cOntentment. /
have no political ambitious 10 salts
fy-my greatest desire is to get on
good farm with my wife and chill
dren and there pass the closing
years of my life.

A QUESTION to be determined by
the newly elected members of the
lower house of the next general as
sembly is, who will they select as
their presiding officer? For that
position there are now ,twO candi
dates, Ralph DAVIS, of Shelby
County, and John "A. Upton, OF
Upton County. Both of these
gentlemen are no doubt capable
of filling the position to which they
aspire. But the BULLETIN does
not admit that the qualifications of
those mentioned transcends that of
all other members elected to the
4Sth general assembly. Hardeman
County, for the secCn q time will be
represented in the lower house by
bon. James w. Jones, who is not
a candidate for any position; but in
past events it has OccuIre that
those in search of positions of honor
and trust were thrust aside, and
others selected on account of their
acknowledged ability. Therefore.
it is probable that the representa-
tive from Hardeman will be chosen
as the presiding officer The en-
viable record made by Hon. A. j.
Coates evinces the ,acr that he
is competent to fill with
credit the most responsible position
within the gift Of the members Of
the senate, and if he is not selected
as speaker, he will no doubt be APP
pointed chairman of some of the
most important committees.

Druggists Indicted for Selling Alcohol
without License.


without License.
Every jackson druggist, except r. r.
Ledbetter, was indicted last week by
the grand jury for selling alcoho. with
out paying the Required license.
The first of these cases, that of the
State VS.. Byron Lemly, came up for
trial IN the Circuit Court yesterday
After the testimony of State witness
to the purchase of alcohol for medici-
nal purposes, and of the druggists
clerk that it was sold for that purpose,
both sides closed and very exhaus-
tive argument of the instructions for
both State and defense was made by
Judge Calhoon, and Messrs Williamson,
Johnston and Green for the defense,
and District Attorney Hudson for the
State. Judge Chrisman then took the
matter under advisement and court
took recess until o'clock p. m, when
Judge Chrisman decided that the
whole question must be decided by sec
ton 100 of the code of 1880, which as
amended reads:
Merchants and others carrying on
business or trade who may sell or give
away liquors either vinuous or spir-
itous at their places of business in less
quantities than one gallon for any pur-
pose whatsoever, shall be subject to
pay the regular retail tax fixed by the
county or corporate authorities of the
place where such business is conducted,
and it shall be the duty of the sheriff
to assess and collect such tax wherever
he is informed that such sales or gifts
have been made, and such persons
on conviction shall be fined not ex-
ceeding $1,000" The district attorney
then read the peremptory instructions
of the court the defense saying moth
ing, and the case went to the jury with,
out argument. After few minutes
federation the jury came into court
with the verdict "We, the jury, find
the defendant guilty as charged"
1t is understood that after sentence
