KNOXVILLE CTenn.), May 22. - The
startling announcement is made by Col
onel Noble Smithson, Knoxville attor-
ney who has had much practice before
the Supreme Court, that the decision on
the income tax has also killed the inter-
nal revenue laws. In carefully pre-
pared opinion Colonel Smithson says:
"Justice Fuller in his opinion says the
Constitution divides federal taxation into
two classes: First. direct taxes; second,
imports and excises, and that the direct
taxes must be apportioned among the
several States in proportion to their rep
resentaIion in the House of Representa-
tives.
Apparently the logical result of this
opinion is that all federal taxes. except
duties on imports (that is to say, taxes
collected under the tariff laws must be
apportioned among the States according
to their representation in the House OF
Representatives.
''The Act of August 81, 1894 (Wi!son
bill, Section 4S, provides, there snail De
levied and collected on all distilled spirits.
etc, a tax of 81 0! on each PROOF gallon.
1.-The statutes of the u Unlted States levy
etc.
sit seems clear, according to this opin-
ion of the Chief Justice, that these are
direct taxes on personal property, ana.
not being apportioned among the severai
States according to representation. they
are unconstitutional and void.
''If this view be correct, the supreme
Court has not only wiped out the income
tax, but has practically repealed the IN
ternal revenue as it affects tobacco.
whisky. brandy, etc. If this construc-
ton of the opinion be correct all direct
taxes, including those on real and per-
sonal property, must be levied according
to representation, so that the rich people
of New York, Massachusetts and other
Eastern States will pay no more tax per
capita than the poorer people OF the
Western and Southern States.
''Of course, this is not to be thought OF.
Its results would be that practically all
the revenues to support the Government
must be raised by duties on imports, and,
instead of reducing the tariff, it will nee
essarily Increase it materially"

ST. LOUIS, May "a special to the
Post Dispatch from Eufalia, l. T., says:
The Greek Nation ia in a state of insurrec-
tion against the tribal heads Of the Gov
ernment. Armed bands are moving on
Okmulgee, the capital, from different
parts of the nation. Misappropriation by
the heads of the Government of the Creek
Nation of funds which were to have been
paid out on a per capita basis is the
alleged reason for this uprising. Espar-
heechee, who led the insurrection of 1883,
is said to be at the head of the present
trouble.
The council of the Creek Nation is in
session at Okmulgee, and the Insurgents
say they will see that the council investi-
gates the matter. 1t is said to be the in
tention to compel Chief l.. c. Petty man
to resign, and to set up Hotulke Amar-
theler, the second chief, in his stead.

This bodice is to be worn with Il black
crepon skirt, the material being of the
new grenadine type made over emerald

In the initial picture there is shown
another use of velvet that is commenda-

Leather-colored cloth gives the skirt,
which is trimmed about the bottom

A vest of this cloth appears in the

So generally are women agreed as to
the merits of this fashionable skirt
that it is being taken up by old and
young. Though it is as yet too early
to state that children cry for it, misses
revel in it, and their mothers adopt it
quite as freely. A model for an elder

front enlarged. Its ornamantation Is
a long end of the black satin belt fin

underneath the left side. which, to-
gether with the right is pleated to

Besides this there is a dress Of light

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Mohammcdan Tree Worship.

MOnammcOan Tree worship.
To certain degree the inhabitants
of all Mohammedan countries are wor-
shippers of the tree known as the date
palm. One of the prophets most SUI
preme and binding injunctions is
"Honor thy paternal aunt, the date
palm, for in paradise was it created,
and from the very heap Of dust out Of
which Adams body was formed"
The Mohammedans also have a ira
dition to the effect that when Adam
and Eve were driven from the garden
they were allowed to take with them
n date seed, and that from that single
seed sprang all the date trees now
known. BY some admirable provi-
dence the original date seed was plant
ed and the tree grew where the tenn
pie Of Mecca now stands, and from
It's trunk was hewn the cradle which
often lulled the infant Mohamet to
sleep. The Mohammedans declare
that all prayers are fulfilled which are
made with the knees pressing upon
palm wood, or with the same kind of
wood in the hand.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

having scored "a out of possible 60

are betting heavily on the result, stalk

His townspeople saw him confined to his

ness that he could not hold knife and

strength to such an extent that he is able

he can not only walk to Woodstock but
can walk across the mountains. He is
able to lift up ffty-two pound weight

what DIR. Williams Pink Pills have done
for others, but knows that they have .lone
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great re-
lief. He purchased another box and took
1t home with him. Mr.. McInturff is will
