TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


Nashville, Nov. 5.-The State board
examiners, which is composed Of Gov.
Turney, Secretary OF State Morgan and
Treasurer Craig, today returned to the
State board OF equalization the railroad
assessments with papers relating
thereto, with lengthy letter, part OF
which reads as follows:
We remand and recommit them with
out action either OF approval OF disap-
proyal thereon upon our part, to the end
that you may amend the said records,
supply certain defects therein, take adj
ditional evidence, and upon such amend
ments and corrections and evidence,
original and additional, reconsider these
assessments and reassess the said COM
Panies on their property.
Under the law the examiners super
wise the work OF equal GERS in assessing
railroads and telegraph companies.
From the instructions contained in
the letter it is easily seen that the
examiners action looks toward making
railroad assessments at the same per-
cehtage of valuation as property of in.
diViduals. This has never been done
before and viii largely Increase the
assessment on railroads.
The equalizers are instructed to re.
quire and demand of railroads that have
failed 10 file them, verified schedules.
They are to ascertain tho market value
Of their stocks and bonds, gross earn
ings, net earnings. market value of real
estate and determine the relative value
of the roads. They arc also to report
as to tho valuation of lands of indi-
yiduals, whether assessed at o fair
market value or at what per cent. OF it's
market value; the relative value of
telephone, telegraph and other corpora
tions.
All this is with a view of ascertaining
whether the taxation Of railroads as
compared with other property is rela-
lively unequal or uniform and just.
The board reduced the assessment on
the Western Union Telegraph Company
from $50 to $40 per mile. The other
telegraph company assessments were
approved.

HOT PRAIRIE Winds.
Critical Period for the Farmrrs' Crops In
the Western states.

Critical Period for the FarmerB' Crops IN
the Western states.
The corn on the prairies reaches that
most critical stage when the pollen in
the opening tassel is growing so rapid
ly that it's perfection needs all the
plant juices, SO that when 1t falls on
the ear it will grow vigorously down
the silken tubes to the young grains
In the cob, and set the ear full of kerr
nels. But the thirsty winds blow from
the west. drinking the moisture from
the upper leaves SO quickly that the
tassel, not being kept moist and cool,
is sun-Scalded, and its pollen killed be-
fore it is shed. Though every leaf may
be fresh and green the next day, the
farmer knows, from the white and
blasted tassels, that no corn will
set. and that the fattening hogs
and cattle must be sold. These ST.
moons of the great plains are liable to
occur every summer. During their
continuance the atmosphere is like
blast from hot furnace, the tremor
OF heat often being visible at short
distance. TO avoid heatstfol<e it is
often as necessary to get to the lee
ward of some shelter. as it Is to keep
from freezing during prairie blizzard.
Thermometers in the shade indicate
tempera lures from one. hundred de-
grees to one hundred and ten degrees,
and even higher.
The hot winds always wilt the prai
RE plants, and the intense blasts scald
and shrivel the tender leaves to a crisp
in few minutes when the soil is dry.
and always in a few hours, even when
the soil is very moist. Apples are said
to have been baked upon the trees, and
the leaves SO dry es to crumble at the
slightest touch. Wheat and other
small grain will be blasted from
the poisoning time until the
grain reaches the doughty stage,
and even then it may be
shrunken, though it can not be com
pletely destroyed. The grasses of pas
lures are burned brown as sun-cured
hay. If science is correct in it's belief
that the hot win Is are feature of the
climate of the eastern slope Of the
Rockies, they can not be expected &c
disappear or become less frequent.
That there are recurring cycles of drier
years, when these desert conditions
sweep eastward as far as the merid ian
of 100 degrees west longitude, has been
the bitter experience of the settlers, OF
the semi-arid portions of the great
plains. In those famine years the prai-
RE streams run dry, and the few long
mountain rivers are thinned to rivu-
lets. Irrigation is then practically inn
possible. Farm crops and town pas
lures fail. The rainmaker becomel
once more the medicine man of the Da.
kotas. Garden and Forest.

Chattanooga, Nov. 5.-The four
Seventh Day Adventists indicted in
Rhea County for working on Sunday
were pat on trial in the Circuit Court ct
Dayton today. One was indicted for
ceiling his house on Sunday, another
for sowing oats, another for chopping
wood and another for hauling wood. 1t
was proven that oil the accused were
good, industrious, iaw-abiding citizens;
they paid their debts and observed
Saturday as religious rest day, on
which they had services, Sabbath
school, etc. The accused refused to en-
ploy counsel or to make any defense,
holding that they We're being pefseA
cuted for Conscience sake. Exon
gresham Snodgrass and Judge Shop
perd, of this city, however, volunteered
for the defense, and assaulted the con-
stitutionality Of the State law as APP
piled to their case. Judge Parks
charged the jury that the offenses com
mitted were not proven to be such as
come under the law, and all were dis
charged. The result was hailed By the
Adventists at their little colony with
prayer and singing; as they seem to re-
gard this as an indication of better
pablo sentiment toward them. This
colony is composed of about 200 people,
who reside at Graysvillo, in Rhoa
County. At the last term of court nine Of
them were sentenced to the workhouse
for different periods, they in each case
refusing to appeal or to pay their fines.
1t is believed this will end the prosecu-
tiOns against them.
