ALBANY, March Ex-Governor Roose-
Welt has sent to the legislature mes
sage recommending the appointment OF
a Joint legislative committee to investi-
gate the subject Of taxing public fran
chses held by corporations and to re-
port to the next Legislature. The gov
ernor says in part:
Tax laws of this state are in an en-
ceedingly unsatisfactory condition anu
don't see how they can he put upon "A
lust and wise basis save after careful
investigation by legislative action. At
present the farmers. the market gar
deners and the mechanics ana trades
men having small holdings are paying
an improper and excessive proportion OF
the general taxes.
There is evident injustice IN the
light taxation of corporations. | have
not the slightest sympathy with the
outcry against corporations as such or
against prosperous men of business.
Most of the great material works by
which the entire country benefits have
been due to the action of individual
men or of aggregates Of men who
Made Money for Themvlves
by doing that which was in the interest
of the people as a whole. From an ar
NOR plant to n street railway no work
which is really beneficial to the public
can be performed to the best advantage
of the public save by men of such busl'
ness capacity and they will not 90 the
| work unless they themselves receive
ample reward for doing it. The efforts
to deprive them Of an ample reward
merely means that they will turn their
energies in some other direction and the
public will be just 50 much the loser:
Moreover, to tax corporations or men OF
me ans in such a way AS to drive them
out of the state works great damage 70
the state. But, while freely admit all
this, it yet remains true that corpora
ton which derives its powers from the
state should pay to the state Just pert
centage Of its earnings as return fo'
the privileges it enjoys

dom from aches and pains that fol-
low healthy organic functions.
Many years of suffering might be
avoided, weary months of lost time
put to good service, and thousands
of lives saved if persons who do not
sleep well and those with overtaxed
brains and nerves would take Paine's
celery compound. In the cure of
nervous diseases this remedy has
again and again demonstrated it's
power to combat these tenacious
ailments.
It is to general poor health hat
we are to look for the cause of head
aches, rheumatism and neuralgia,
and to overcome these troubles it is
the general health that must be
raised, Sick headaches that recur
so periodically with most women and
are SO grievous an affection should
be treated as due to lowered nervous
tone, and a thorough invigoration of
the body should be undertaken with
Paine's celery compound.
The best test of the wonderful
value of Paine's celery compound is
to use it. Any woman will soon be
convinced that it is the one remedy
that can make and keep her well and
healt hful and strong.

AN EVENING WITH KIPLING

-
Mrs. stetson's Lecture Last Night on this
Popular Prose Writer and Poet.
Daily Argus of Tuesday.
The lecture Of Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Stetson int be dining hall
of the Hotel Kennon last night, on
Kipling, must have been heard to
be fully appreciated; it cannot be
portrayed by the reporters pen,
and those whose good fortune it
was to be present will ever cherish
the remembrance of the occasion
as n of the pleasing reminiscent
ces of life.
Mrs. Stetson is a woman Of mar
velous Intellectually, depth of
thought and gift of language, and
a veritable genius in her capacity
for grasping the in~tricacies of ey-
cry phase of life and solving the
problems of existence upon a
broad basis of political ethics and
social progress.
Her lecture last night was not
confred to Kipling, although do
ing full justice to his great and
beautiful character and developing
new interest in his writings that
will abide with her hearers and
give added pleasure to their fu-
ture readings of his works. Her
lecture was more: it abounded in
solid, Interesting and useful infor-
nation, from which no one of her
audience could help receiving benz
eft, for it was admirable through
out, stimulating every mind, how
ever we'll stored, and directing il
into new channels of thought out
side of its own individual, or char
~acteristic ruts. 1t presented in
compact and pleasing form the
fruits of long and deep study and
research on the part of this gifted
woman.
At a time when there IS so much
that is false and subtly erroneous
in the philosophy, religion and
SO called science of the day, sc
many problems that confront the
immature and unframed thinker,
and war against the higher ethics
of living and the common broth
erhood of man, it is indeed a ben
ediction to fnd such master minds
in the w%atchtowers of thought stu
diously studying the trend of peo-
pies and speaking with ripe wis
dom to the necessities of the hour
for the right guidance of the
world.

Mrs. z Ophelia Crawford and
daughters, Misses Berta and

Princeton,
Mr. and Mrs. Rufin Bailey,
from near Selma, were visiting
Mrs. Bailey's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Isaac Smith, Saturday and
Sunday.
The continued wet weather is
very discouraging, especially to
some of us who have not seen our
garden peas since they were
planted.
The quarterly meeting of the
Primitive Baptist church con-
vened at Chapel, near here, Sat-
urday, embracing Sunday. A
Igood crowd was in attendance.
MI. Brown, from near Memorial
church. was at Mr.. Isaac Smiths
Saturday and Sunday attending
quarterly meeting at Chapel. He
was accompanied by Miss
Woodland.
There was a Sunday School
Convention held at the Baptist
church in Princeton last week
from Friday till Sunday. A large
crowd was present on Sunday,
and much enthusiasm manifested.
We have not seen farming
operations so backward as at
present, and from the way things
now look, it will be some time
before any corn is planted, and
many will have to plant, and then
break the ground afterwards.
Our friend, Mr.. A, L. Swinson,
leaves this week for Southern
Georgia, where he goes to accept
a remunerativa position as an ex-
pert apiarist, Our best wishes
attend him, and we wish him
much success,
One would judge from the
number of new tobacco barns in
this section that cotton would be
a secondary crop this year. We
learn there are eleven new barns
in this section now up and more
in contemplation. One consola-
ton, a fellow can "chaw hacker
and he can't cotton. We trust
both may be a good price, and
farmers may realize more for their
labors.
Some scoundrel went in our
neighbor Mr.. Bill Thompson's
smoke house last Sunday night,
and took a good part Of his bacon.
The first thing you know, some
one is going to smell powder.
This is too numerous to suit our
