How 70 Build Town.

The Nashville American says /:
"The best way TO build up a
town is to stand by every man in
the place who does right. All
citizens are in a light sense,
partners, and should not be op-
ponents. No matter what your
calling, the more business your
rival is doing, the more you will
do. Legitimate aggressiveness
in business life means something
from slandering or otherwise at
tempting to pull down the other
fellow. Every business man
who treats his customers honest
ly and courteously will get his
share. Besides muds!inging is
sure to become eventually a
boomerang to business, and will
react to the detriment of the
slirger. The dog in the manger
deserves a dogs treatment, and
in the end he is bound to get it,"
In other words, organization
and a pull all together are what
counts in building a town as they
do in individual business. The
concern where there is not har-
mony of action among the part
ners will not prosper. The city
where there is a lack of orga-
nized effort, where individual
citizens abuse their town and ex-
alt others, creating the impress
sion that their own is a bad one,
will not progress. This esprit de
corps, this unanimity Of sent-
ment is necessary, and without it
no city will put forward its
shoots and grow as it should.
We have something solid to build
on in Nashville, and we can grow
and make it prosper year by year
if we only watch our opportuni-
ties and be ready to accept them
when they cOme.-Ex.

Hnmor No lar 10 Usefnlness.

The Atlanta Constitution con-
tains the following very comph-
mentary notiee of Hon. John M.
Allen; THE opponents of John
Allen, of Mississippi, are making
/. a serious mistake when they ar
que that humor is not a necessa-
ry equipment in a public career.
It is not humor that lessons the
influence of a public man; it is
wit, the irony and satire that
take no account of good nature.
Sunset Cox was a wit, pure and
simple, and he was a great fail
ure as a public man Lincoln,
on the other hand, was a humor-
list on the order of John Allen,
and he was a very great man in
all respects. Private John Allen
was one of the most influential
men in congress, and if he is
elected to the senate he will take
very high rank in that body.
His humor hurts nobody; it is
genial and soothing, and adds
distinctly to the pleasure of liv-
ing. One of the most remarka-
bic examples of it was his speech
in opposition to the report of the
committee unseating Congress-
man Carmack. in the contest
which Josiah Patterson insti-
tuted.
The contest was before a re-
publican committee, and John
Allen spoke to a republican house
that had every partisan excuse
for unseating Carmack. He be-
gan by putting everybody in
good humor, and then he gradu-
ally worked his audience up to
the point where they could not

Announcement has been made of
the Inauguration Of passenger SER

in close connection with the Mobile

passenger steamship "Silvia" and
the Steamships "Tyrian" and
"Wlddrington" are in service in
this line, and afford the best of &C
commodations. The Mobile &

tibuled Pullman Palace sleeping
cars with drawing room and buffet,
through between st. Louis, Mo-,
and Nc bile, Ala, connecting at the
docks OF the Mobile G Ohio r. R.

with the steamships for Havana
and other Cuban ports.
Mobile e Ohio agents are pre-
pared to sell through tickets to Gu

What me President costs.

1t costs the people of the Unit
ed States S114,S65 a year for a
chief executive, says the st,
Louis Post Dispatch. His salary
is $4,000 and found" The
presidents finding is rather
comprehensive, covering about
every possible requirement of a
family. His private secretary,
the clerks, book keepers, mes
sengers and steward and three
other servants cost S33, $50 a
year, which the president may
use according to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the
white house the sum of S16, 900
more to be used by the direction
of the president, is provided by
the nation, and is always ex-
pended. For fuel alone 5000 is
allowed, and for necessary re-
pairs to the greenhouse there is
81, 1000.
Altogether, the presidential
finding" annually amounts to
the snug sum of S64,865, nearly
sis, 900 a year more than his sal
airy. The two aggregate S114,-
S65. This is an imposing aggre-
gate, but it is small compared
with other presidents. The
president of the French republic
receives as salary $4,000 a
year, S32, 4sO for contingent pur-
poses, and a handsome house,
rent free. So we get our presi-
dent rather cheaply after all.

Proposition TO swap the Philippines
for the British West In1les.

A special from Washington
says:
"Public men here are discuss
ing with unabated interest the
proposition that the United
States and Great Britain enter
into an agreement by which the
United States shall turn the SOW
ereignty of the Philippines over
to Great Britain in return for the
British West Indies.
at is apparent that such an
exchange would be very popular
in the United States and the on
ly question in the minds of most
of the men with whom your cor
respondent has talked is whether
Great Britain could be induced
to part with her West Indies pos
sessions. 1t is suggested, how
ever, that the possession Of the
Philippines would give Great
Britain such an advantage in the
far east, where the rivalry be-
tween the European nations for
trade is 50 sharp, that she might
consider these islands much
more valuable than her West In
dian possessions can possibly be.
"It is believed that Great Brit
ain would insist on retaining
possession Of some of the strong
est intrinsic points in the West
Indies, but the United States
would be perfectly willing to
have her do so, while we could
retain a strong naval base in the
Philippines.

The Ohio Valleys committee consist
ed OF Messrs. Salisbury, Dittman and

made up OF Messrs. Cecil, Mcmillan and

ular order the question OF status was
after having retired short while made
Its report, which was adopted unani-
mously. 1t Is likely to be adopted next
sunday by the Ohio Valley assembly.
The report stipulates that the fra

to be levied on them by the body to

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Isaac Davis Estate Distributed to
His Daughter, Mrs, Mitchell.

For more than thirty years the estate
of the late Isaac Davis has been pend
ing in the courts of this county, but the
decision rendered yesterday by Judge
Johnson finally disposed of all ques-
tons as far as the Superior Court is
concerned.
The estate, which was appraised at
upward of 100000, was left to testa-
tors two children, Jerome C. Davis and
Mrs. E. S. Mitchell. The case has at
tracted considerable attention because
of the prominence of the parties inter-
ested Jerome C. Davis, long since de-
ceased, having at one time served as
a Trustee of this city.
Many years ago an amicable settle
ment was entered into between him ana
Mrs Mitchell, whereby they divided the
estate between themselves satisfac-
torily Mrs. Mitchell, however, never
secured a final decree of distribution
and discharge as administrative of the
estate of her father and several months
ago applied to the court for the same.
She was then met by the widow of
Jerome c. Davis, contesting her right TO
certain properties and claiming a large
portion OF the estate as tne Heir VI
Jerome G. Davis. The matter was
closely contested, and after several
hearings was submitted to Judge john
son for adjudication The result has
been to affirm the agreement entered
into between Jerome c. Davis and Mrs.
Mitchell, and distributing the property
in litigation to the latter.
j. F. Sheehan, Jr., Howe & Howe and
Devlin & Devlin were the attorneys
for Mrs. Mitchell.
