It Runs Through the City of London
SO Feet Below the Pavement.
At the present time there is in London
only one electric underground road,
but this has been such conspicuous
authorized, two of which are being con-
structed. These railways will be tun-
neled on the "Greathead shield sys-
tenn" at an average depth of 60 feet be-
meath the pavement of London, and no
sign of their progress will be visible to
those who use the streets, excepting on
the sites of the proposed stations,
| where shops and houses are being de-
molished. The public attention just
now is directed principally to the Cen
trail London railway, which will run
from Shepard's Rush to Liverpool
street, distance of six and onefourth
miles. There will be Il stations along
the route, the trains stopping at each
station and running at intervals of two
and one-half minutes. The cost of con-
struction and equipment, which is cal
culated at $2,5OO,OOO per mile, aggre-
gates a total of $17,500,000. At some
points on this line the rail level will
be not less than IS feet beneath the sur
face, and five hydraulic lifts will con-
vey passengers to and from the trains.
Sideways will be constructed for foot
passengers to cross from one side of the
road to the other. The company ex-
poets to carry between 50,o0O,Ooo and
Go,ooO,OoO passengers in the year. The
boring of the two tunnels, which will
be circular and lined with iron, and II
feet inches in diameter, will be pro-
ceeded with from each station stimuli
taneously, so that the work will be
completed, it is expected, by December,

An African Salt Works.

Karembwe's is one of the salt-mak-
ing villages; a sandy clay is dug out of
the marshes, and placed in glass fun
nels; water poured on this dissolves the
salt; this solution trickles through the
green filter into trough, after which it
is boiled and strained, and a fine, large,
crystal salt is obtained. 1t is great
trade in this part of the world. All viii
lagos make salt, which is put up in
loads about five inches in diameter by
four feet long. All these people, the

TOLD BY YOUR TONGUE.

Doctors do not trust to the tongue
SO much as they used to, but the num-
Der of things they learn from it is sur
prising. The strawberry tongue"
which is a tongue covered with thin
fur through which lot of little red dots
are peeping, is an almost certain sign
of scarlet fever. When it is red, dry,
narrow and pointed probably you have
severe dyspepsia. If it is very pale you
have most likely lost blood or are suffer
ing from poverty of blood or some
wasting disease. If there is thin white
coating you have slight Indigestion or
are feverish. If the coating is yellow
probably your liver is out of order.
But smokers always have coated
tongue and people who keep their
mouths open great deal have yellowish
tongues caused by the dust of the at
mosphere. When person swallows an
acid poison the tongue shows what
kind of acid it was, carbolic acid
leaving it white, sulphuric acid black
ening it, nitric acid staining it yellow.
Caustic potash produces grayish stair,
and lunar caustic a pearl gray mark.
The tongue may be coated from severe
pain, worry, anger, fear or overwork,

AN InVen ton TIL 6 Promises tn BE of Great
Benefit to Farmers.
Judge j. D. Golf, of Sparta, Tenn, is
preparing to have the Staten Pea Har-
vester manufactured on an extensive
scale and is at present taking orders
from farmers to pick next years pea
crop. The harvester is a new invention,
recently patented by a resident of White
county, and it is a wonderful labor-sav-
ing machine. 1t promises to be of great
benefit to farmers of the south, as it
saves the cost of harvesting peas to a
minimum. The new harvester will pick,
shell, clean and sack bushel of peas in
two minutes, without breaking OF crack
ing the pea and free from trash as an
ordinary hand picker. 1t is very simple
in construction, the peas being picked
by two smooth bones operating in oppo-
tion to each other. Its capacity is from
twelve to eighteen acres per day, and it
can be operated by two horses and two
small boys.

UP GOES TAX RATE.
Large Appropriations viii Increase the
Rate About 1.SO.

Rate About 1.SO.
The Legislature has had under consid-
Grafton the general appropriation bill,
and to meet the increased appropriations
the state tax rate will have to be materi-
ally raised. The bill carries the follow
ing appropriations:
"For the executive department for
1897 and 1898, the sum of $52, 800.
"For the judicial department $79,250,
showing an increase of $13,50O on ac-
count of the supreme court.
"For the legislative department $67,-
600, an increase of $500 over the last ap-
preparation.
For public institutions, 81, 456, PA. IA,
an increase of $512,500 over last year;
$500, 1000 of the increase goes to the pub
lie schools and s67,5OO to the insane asy-
lum.
"For the payment of the recognized
valid debt of the state, $448, $3.50, de-
crease of $2o,455
''For miscellaneous purposes, S734,-
O5O."
The total appropriation CARED by the
bill in round numbers is $2,80O,000 OF
that amount about 50, 100000 must be
raised by special or general taxation.
That means an increase of the tax rate
to about $3.50. The present rate is 4.56,
making the proposed rate for next year
1 so higher than this year.

SEVERE ON BUTLER.
Mr.. Watson Analvzesl Him From scien-
tiho and Disinterested Standpoint"

! Mr., watson AnalYzesl Him From q Scien
tifio and Disinterested Standpoint"
! 1t is quite evident that there is no
chance for a reconciliation between Tom
Watson and Marion Batter, and the diff.
ferences of these two individual popu-
lists means that the populist party is di-
vided into factions with little chance of
harmony being restored.
Tom Watson does not attempt to dis
guse this fact when he says, oyer his
own signature, in the current issue of
The Peoples Party Paper, that cit is all
well enough to talk about the propriety
of the populist factions coming together
again, and of letting bygones be by
cones, but the spirit of distrust, when
once aroused, is more restless than Ban
quo's ghost, and will not down.
In plain United States Watson SAYS of
Fuller:
"As long as Marion Butler is chair
man Of the national committee 1T will be
utterly impossible to get the real popu-
lists to take any interest in campaign
work. They have tested said Butler,
and they want no more of him. They
know him to be selfish, nnprincipled
trickster, and nothing he can now do
Will ever cause them to forget what a
liar and traitor he was during the cam
paign of 1896. To ask these men to
come together, and to act with Butler
and the Butterflies, is mere waste of
breath. They will never do So"
Watson declares that Butler "sold
OUT the populist party, and says once is
enough.
Judged from the Butler standpoint"
says Watson, ''popullsm is mere article
of political merchandise. He himself is
not populist in principle"
Watson claims that he feels no person
al animosity towards Butler. He asserts
that he is simply "analyizing him from
scientific and dsinterested stand
point" Watson says Butler has for him
the interest which Il naturalist takes in a
rare bug-n0thlng more.
And then he proceeds to analyze him
in the following artistic style:
"When the constitutional coward runs
away from the battlefield all generous
men feel profound sympathy for the
victim of natural defect of character.
God made him that way and he cannot
help it. In the same spirit of liberality
and equity we Judge Marion Butler.
Nature made him what he is. and he can
not help it. To be f Ky, double-faced,
false of tongue and treacherous at Rheart
is natural to him; and when he betrays
those who trust him, and deceives those
who are silly enough to take him at his
word, he has no more sinned against his
nature than does our friend, the Will
liam-goat, when it fights with horns
rather than with mouth or feet"

LIQUOR IN RUSSIA.
How the Cars Government Deals with
the Tranfc.

the IE8IRCs
Apropos of liquor legislation in this
state it is of interest to study the adjust.
ment of the liquor traffic in Russia. The
question has been carefully studied the
last few years. The czar's government has
felt it duty to protect its ,itizens from
those agencies which are supposed to
promote the drinking habit. To this
end the Russian government has not
hesitated to undertake the control of the
manufacture and sale of all alcoholic
beverages. Wine and beer it does not
touch, but all forms of spirits must be
distilled and rectified under its superyis-
ion, and sold through its established
agencies.
The Russian government has set about
this business with full appreciation of
the magnitude of the problem 1T has at
tackled. If the business yields as much
as the existing duties, say $3.50, 100000 a
year, the experiment will be deemed a
success, but it is not expected that the
government monopoly will be unive rsal
throughout the empire in less than ten
or fifteen years. The Immediate pur-
pose is, first, to provide a guarantee
that only pure spirits are sold, and, next,
that they are sold under conditions least
calculated to promote drunkenness. 1t
is proposed 10 discourage the country
drinking shop by providing that spirits
shall be sold there only at the price at
which they are purchased from the gov
eminent depot, and to reduce to mini
mum in the towns, TIE place where the
sale of drink by the glass is the chief
business. Russia consumes annually
3,250,000 hectoiitres of alcohol, or about
100000 gallons. This is rather less
than the average consumption of the
United States. 1t is calculated that the
consumption may decrease 90 per cent.
without affecting the amount of revenue
which the system is calculated to pro-
duce.
The price'at which liquor shall be sold
is fixed by the imperial council, with
the approval of the emperor, and varies
some what for various provinces. At the
place where it is exposed for sale it can
be had only in closed bottles and TASKS
bearing the wax seal of the state, and a
ticket indicating the quantity, the de
gree of strength and price. The liquor
cannot be consumed at the place where
it is purchased. The "dispensary'' sys
tenn, with limitations, is, in short, the
Russian plan, and it will be interesting
to see whether it decreases drunkenness
only at the cost of increasing corrup
| ton.

SAM JONES HAS Assay.
HE is OPPOSED TO THE PRESENT
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.
Says the State Has No Right to Impose
Tax on One Man for the Ben.
eft of Another.

Rev. Sam Jones has opinions entirely
his own and expresses them in a uniona
manner when occasion requires it. He
mas this to say about taxation for educa4
ton, which was published in the Allan
ia Journal:
much was said few years ago about
the billion dollar congress and the ex-
travagance of our national legislation.
How long will it be at the present lick
we are hitting before we shall have a
! billion dollar appropriation by many of
the legislatures of the states and the
municipalities here and there piling up
the money appropriations to this. that
and the other? Extravaganza will
swamp anyEnation, any corporation, any
individual. ] see where the legislature
of Georgia yesterday set aside $675, 900
for various purposes; the state school
appropriation about million and half
and the state schools are clamo,ing
for larger appropriations. The fact of
the business is the whole country seems
to be looking for the state or the nation
to do something for everything that
comes along. 1t is we'll enough now
and then to stop and think seriously
about these things.
at is "a very easy matter to create
debts and spend money. 1t is quite a
different thing to meet these DE- BITS when
they fall due. If ever there was a tax
ridden people it is the American people
today. Every man is hustling to pay
taxes, and the treasures of state, nation
and municipality are depleted. Will the
thing go on until every man shall have
an appropriation for his special benefit?
The preachers, will they get bounty on
their-convertsP The farmers, will tkey
get bounty on their cotton? The negroes
on their dogs, 'pOssums, with an occa-
sional watermelon thrown in? Thi S is
serious question? The state has no
more right, when you come down to the
principles of right, to tax Tom Smith to
pay John Browns boys tuition at a
state college and graduate him than il
is Tom Smiths business to move John
Browns kids over to his house and feed,
clothe and spank them and put them to
bed. affirm it as fact in perfect har-
mony with honesty and the wisest prin-
Piles that when you les up on any mans
responsibility to feed, clothe and house
his own kids you are cutting the stick
from under the independence of that
family and making genuine manhoC an
impossibility. Root, hog or DIE ought
to be proclaimed from the housetops
and hills. 1t is shame to tax the poor,
hard-run farmers, whose boys only go to
school in the country log cabin churches
four or five months in the year, to grad
uate young bucks from college.
"Free pensions, free silver, free board
ing houses, free clothing store and free
sleeping houses seem to be the order OF
things. Pile up your appropriations,
gentlemen of the legislature, and let the
toiling thousands sweat and dig and
dwelve and pay them. 1t is fun for the
boys, but death to the frogs"
