THAT TEN PER GENT.
President Cleveland Said to Favor the Re
peal of the Tax.

President Cleveland Said to Favor the Re
peal of the Tax
Washington, Sept. Mr. Cleveland
is announced in favor of state bank cur
rency. BE has discussed the matter
with a number of members of congress,
and has reached the conclusion that re-
peal of the 10 per cent tax ON the issue
of state banks will be satisfactory to all
sections of the country. He has many
letters from New York, Boston and
Chicago bankers advocating the plan.
All these letters state that provisions
must be made, however, for perfectly
sound and safe currency.
Secretary a lisle is now drafting a
bill with this end in view. 1t will pro-
vide for the rep cal OF the 10 percent tax
on state banks so as to enable them to
issue currency, and will also provide for
the reorganization of national banks as
state banks.
Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
realize that there is demand for larg-
er volume of currency Government
bonds are becoming scarce, and within a
few years a number of them will mature
and must be taken up. Therefore, in
stead of increasing under the present
law, the national bank currency must
decrease.

The HEADSMAN'S AXE
WAS SWUNG IN a LIVELY MANNER
MONDAY AFTERNOON
At a Meeting of the City COuncil--The
Heads of All but One of the Old Off
GERS Rolled Into the Basket,
and He Had a Narrow
Escape.


When Mayor Baldwin raped for order
in the council chamber Friday afternoon
there were present Aldermen Kendrick
Dean, Kagler Rainey Davis and Bishop
The meeting was held mainly for the
purpose of hearing the report of the city
tax assessors, but there was an under
current of feeling that foreboded a
lively session before it came 10 close
The assessors stated that they had a
few hours work to do upon their report,
and they were granted until O'Clock
Monday afternoon to finish up their
work.
The bills for August were read and or
dered paid, and then
THE MEETING TOOK On A LIVELY IN
ism TEREsT
upon a motion of Alderman KaIgler to
90 into the election of two night police
men to fill vacancies caused by the resig-
nations of Officers Colson and Jennings.
Inc mayor suggested that as no Off
ce IS with TIC exception of Chief Arnett,
had been elected since he and the three
new aldermen had been indicted into
Office a motion to go into the election of
officers would be proper.
Alderman Davis acted upon Mayor Bald
wins suggestion and amended Alderman
Kaigler's motion to that effect. Alderman
Kaigler strongly objected to the amend
ment on the ground that there were but
two vacancies.
Alderman Kendrick took the same po-
sition and said that no good was intend
ed by going into the wholesale election
of officers, as the only thing to be ac-
complished by it was the stirring up of
strife and renewing factional fight.
Aldermen Rainey considered that the
council was under contract with the
officers who were elected several months
ago for one year, and was opposed to the
amendment.
Mayor Baldwin and Alderman Davis
were of the opinion that the council who
served part of the year could not elect
officers for the present council. The
original motion was lost and the amend
ment was carried with the mayors vote,
Aldermen Bishop, Dean and Davis voting
for it, and Aldermen Kaigler, Kendrick
and Rainey against it.
At this juncture the following written
protest, signeo by Aldermen Kaigler and
Kendrick, was presented and at their re-
quest entered upon the minutes:
1--WE hereby enter our solemn protest
against the action of the new council in
electing new officers to fill the places of
deputy marshal, street overseer, scaven-
ger and lamplighter, as it is fragrant
violation of all law and precedent and is
unjust and illegal, as said officers were
legally elected for term of twelve
months, and should serve vhe time for
which they We're elected

MR.. JOHN L. PARROT.

One of Terrell County's Most Progressive
and Liberal Citizens.
In 1853, where n"w stands the flourish
ing town of Parrot, stood the old home
stead of the PARROT family, until recent
" landmark for all that section.
Forty years ago Mr.. John L. Parrott
identified himself with that section, and
ever since he has been a ruling factor in
the prosperity of the community.
He gave himself to the Confederate
cause as a private and came out as COM
missioned officer with scars upon his
body.
His liberality to the growing town
which now bears his name is kno Nn TO
his credit far and near. To the Colum-
bus Southern railroad he ga7e the righC
of way through his lands, besides sub
scribing 81, 900 in cash.
The churches of the town, five in num-
Der, have been enabled to build houses
of worship through his liberality in both
land and money. To the academy in
the place he has been a great friend,
giving largely to its supsort. Ten chill
dren attending it are Seueffciaries
of his, and he has obligated
himself to pay nearly one-third OF
the salaries of the different ministers.
Numerous houses have been erected by
him, and today his hand is open to give
the necessary means to build up his
town.
AS a beDefactor John T.. Parrot de-
serves and receives the appreciation OF
his people, and the naming of the town
| for him is deserved honor.

LEARNING THE STONE MAsoS's TRADE.
In the spring OF 1874 the youth was placed
with VIM. Ogle to learn the stone mason's trade.
His strength, however, was not equal to the de-
mands made upon it and he abandoned the ar
duous task Of masonry for the lighter and more
agreeable one Of saving, polishing and lettering
tombstones. The marble quarry, saw fixtures
and shop all belonged to his father and were
upon part of the home estate, but in Fred
erick county. the dividing line in the shape Of
a small stream running through the meadow
about thirty feet from shop and quarry. In
1s46 Rinehart left the little log shop, went to
Baltimore and engaged as apprentice with
Baughman 4 Bevan. stonecutters of that city.
Floating about the region of the home estate
there is piece of gossip referring to that quiet
tomb in Greenmount cemetery. 1t is said that
there is "a gal under the tomb" 1t is said
most assuredly that the gal died and the
artist carved a figure TO be placed above her and
that il was his last wish to be inferred in the
same grave. 1t is asked triumphautly. why
should he have carved the figure if there hadn't
been any gal?'
