Georgia senatorship.

The succession OF Senator CoIqultt
has assumed well defined character.
Colouitt's physical disability puts him
ont of the race. Gov Northen is a
candidate, Major Baker, speaker OF
the house another, and will stand ON
free silver. II is also announced that
Hoke Smith will enter the race.
Smith and Cleveland are said not to
agree on the Hawaiian and other
questions and the former does not
care to be lougor hampered in his am
billions. Smith, however does not
want to be handicapped as a mere
administration candidate, but by re-
signing on some opportune occasion,
under show of independence from the
administration, while still retaining
its support, he will widen the con
stituency, to which he can appeal
This is the way in when his position

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used, The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
atiye; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
cning them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is mar
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only, whose name is printed On every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Fig
and being well informed, yon will no
accept any substitute if offered.

THE INCOME TAX.
Main Features of the Measure Which
Will be Presented to
Congress.

According TO advices from Wash
lngton, on the subject, it has been de-
tinitely ascertained that the income
tax system, to be reported 20 congress
by the Ways and Means committee,
will be confined to a tax on the net
increase of all corporations and tax
ON SUGGESTIONS and legacieC.
Messrs. Bryan, McMillin, Whiting
and others made a strong fight for a
plan broad enough to include all in
comes Of individuals in excess of So
600 per annum, but they were forced
to acquiescence in the will of the mai
ority and abandoned tie income tax
in favor of the one applying only to
corporations and SUGGESTIONS. The
committee in its report to the House
will state that the greatest money
earning powers of the country are
corporations, while the risk of indiyi-
dual stockholders is less than the risk
in any private business. Corporations
derive special advantages from legisla-
ton, one of which is that, event of
commercial disaster the stockholder is
only liable to the extent of the full
value of the stock subscribed, and to
offset these special advantages they
should bear a generous burden of the
expenses of the government. The tax
on corporations, therefore, will not be
a graduated one, but will apply to all
net earnings Of whatever aggregate.
But the gross amount Of SUGGESTIONS
and legacies will be taxed. Success
sions and legacies in this connection,
of course, apply only to personally
and moneys. The Democrats of the
committee have also decided to in
crease the rates on cigarettes an i'm
pose a tax on playing cards. The in
ternal revenue tax on whisky
is still an open question, the commit
tee maintaining studious reticence on
the subject for fear of the manipula-
tions on the stock exchange.

A,BEAUTIFUL GIFT.

Through the efforts of the Episco-
pal ladies beautiful "Christmas gift
will find its way into some Texarkana
home, and there brighten the family
circle by making glad the heart OF a
favorite child. At the same time a
great and good cause will be served,
by raising funds with which to build
and furnish house Of religious wor-
ship. This dual object will be accom-
plisbed through the medium of a
"Doll House," which to the eyes of the
juvenile world will appear a veritable
Lilputiau palace" or "Fairy castle" OF
enchantment, to be voted to the most
popular little maid IN the city.
The "doll house will from this date,
be on exhibition at Schicker' Funi-
ture store, where the voting contest
will be carried on and recorded from
day to day, until the 10 of December,
when the same will be finally decided
and properly awarded at the Episco-
pal Ladies Bazaar.
The votes are sold on demand at
1 0 cents each aud recorded when de-
posted. A resume of the vote will
appear in this paper from time to
time. The contest will be a spirited
one and more than one of our petite
bellies will compete for the prize.

as Murchison was admirable in that
line, and had fund of anecdotes and
no one could tell them better But he
soon proceeded to tell one of the dull

possible. Everybody looked disap-
pointed. The judge, leaning over,
said in an uumistakable tone of dis
appointment: "Mr. Murchison, l don't

THE REVENUE BILL.
Disappointment in Store for All Who
Expected an Increase in the
Whiskey and Tobacco Tax.

Those who have counted so surely
on an internal revenue bill, to be re-
ported by the Democratic members Of
the Ways and Means Committee,
which would have the desired effect
of revolutionizing whiskey and to-
bacco may, and from present appear
auces will, yet meet with disappoint-
ment
The swhole question of internal
revenue has been discussed pro and
con by the committee and a wide
range of plans canvassed The ques-
ton has been found to be one of the
most difficult of all the committee has
been called upon to deal with, and it
is asserted by those in position to
know that there are members of the
committee who have changed their
views on material points since an ex-
change of opinions began, and since
the research and investigations have
been directed into the different chan
nels by fellow members and by out
siders. For instance, almost all the
members were favorable to a heavy
increase of tax upon whisSey aud
tobacco when they first met as a
committee, but it is now asserted the
views of many of them have under
gone such radical change upon this
question it is even doubtful whether
a majority can be found favorable to
any increase whatever upon the pres
ent rates upon these articles, and If
there should be any increase it would
be grudgingly given, and only be-
cause the reduction in duties proposed
by the tariff bill would render it
necessary to increase collection from
internal revenue resources. Members
of the committee also find reasons
of similar character for hesitating
over the change in the tobacco sche-
dule. 1t is asserted the influence of
Secretary Carlisle is being asserted
against any material increase in these
revenue rates for same reasons which
are liable to control members of the
committee. The great problem which
is now agitating the committee is that
of finding means for making good
the deficiency which will be OCCASION
ed by the tariff reduction. and some
members are said to have reached the
conclusion that, to do the best they
may, . there will be imperfections of
this character when the bill shall have
passed the house wlich will be left TO
the senate to deal with, and they
count upon many changes in the lat
ter body. It is even thus early hlnted
the senate committee on finance will
report substitute for the entire bill.

REV. JOSEPH JAM1soNs TRIAL

In a characteristic letter to mem
Der of the Southern Methodist church
of this city, Rev. Joseph Jamison am
nounces his defeat before the North
Texas Methodist conference, now in
session at Wichita Falls. The letter,
though brief, breathes forth in every
line spirit of religious zeal, unquench-
ed by the christian resignation with
which the minister meets the decree
issued against him. The charges
which have finally prevailed against
Mr. Jamison are purely impersonal
and were first filed three or four years
ago. His first trial was before the
Sherman conference, where only four
votes out Of over 800 were recorded
against him. A second trial was held
in this city, and again he was only de-
priyed of yindication and victory by
an Insignificant minority, 10 votes, we
believe, being the number recorded
against him. This time the commit
tee heard the charges, and evidence
supporting same, behind closed doors,
with the accused absent, and their
finding against him was ratified by a
majority vote of The conversion. This
result precludes all hope of Mr.. Jami-
sons return to his pastorate here, and,
unless he be re-installed or taken on
probation, sewers his ministerial con-
nection with the conference.
There is another element to the Rf-
fair which we have not space to enter
into at length-that of "holiness and
anti-holiness." The former sect do
not belong to the conference, and
knowing that Bro. Jamison was with
them, though not of them, have used
CNbII tuUtdNOI W llhuCO ulll W bpdoO
his conference struggle and come to
them in reality,
The charges which have brought
about this result were of domestic
nature and in no wise reflected upon
the character of the accused, either as
a man or a minister Of the gospel, both
of which are above reproach Thus
the matter stands, but if we
have read Alright the charac-
ter of the man the Rev.
Joseph Jamson will not permit it to
end here. lie is not the man to give
up a fight and especially if he is con-
vinced of the justice of his cause
Perhaps the conference battle on this
question will be fought with the open
doors and in the presence Of the de-
fendant, next time"

Too Little Attention

Contrasting the amount Of attention
paid by the masses Of American peo-
pie TO politics, with that paid to priv
ate affairs, Texas writer says; 1t has
long been the complaint OF statesmen
and standard writers on the science of
government that no class Of the
American people take sufficient inter-
est in politics to secure and maintain
honest and efficient administration of
public affairs. 1t is practically inn
possible to get one-fourth Of the
farmers and mechanics, bankers and
business men to attend the primaries,
and considerable portion of them
even remain away from the polls, not
only at national, but local elections.
A majority Of American cities are
dominated to-day by Hough' minori-
ties simply because the respectable
classes neglect their political duties.

The Government Bureau of Educa-

interesting information about the
country's public and semi-public Ii
brarles. A list Of such Libraries as
contain more than 1000 volumes is
given and comparisons made with
a similar report published for 1885.
From 1889 the number had grown
in 1891 to 1904, an increase in six
years of over 27 per cent. Remarka-
BILE as this increase is, The increase in
the number of volumes is still larger
SO per cent.
The total number of bound volumes
and pamphlets reported in this publi-
cation is 81, ,169, 1854, or nearly 100000
900 more than were contained in all
our libraries of over 800 Volumes in
1874. There are no earlier Govern
meut slatatististics to refer to, but, ac-
cording to the report Of private statie'
ticians and compilers, the Libraries OF
the country, exclusive Of the school
and private Libraries, numbered only
about 900 in 1856, and they contain
cd all together, not more than 2500,.
900 volumes.
There are larger libraries in Europe
