THE INnu >FRlM Il tGUE.

The second annual Convention of the
Tennessee Industrial League which
met at Nashville last Wednesday, drew
a very representative body to the Capt.
tai City, and the discussions were char
acteri2ed by earnestness and q desire
to accomplish something for the indus
trial interests of the State.
The tax commission presented q
brilliant and pointed report, of which
many recommendations were adopted
by the convention looking to the equali-
cation of taxes and to reaching all the
assessable property of the State, The
recommendations adopted were referr-
ed to the Legislature with a request for
consideration. In addition to the re-
port, w. B. Swaney, of Chattanooga,
read a paper on "How to Reduce Tax
alton in Tennessee, and James H.
Malone, of Memphis, read q paper on
"Ihe Tax IN Mortgages" which were
likewise referred to the Legislature.
The Good Roads Commission pre-
scented an admirable report, full OF
helpful suggestions, and this paper,
was referred to the law makers for con-
sideratiou. Col. J. B. Killebrew read
a valuable paper advocating a great an
nual fair in each division of the State,
the central state fair being held at
Nashville, and his paper was applaud
ed to the echo. 1t will be printed and
sent out over the state at an early day.
Papers were also prepared on "Good
Roads" by B. r. Strong, of Knoxville,
"The Foreign Trade in Tennessee To
bacco," by NJ. H. Clark, of GAINESVILLE,
and early Fruits and Vegetables, by
G. w. Rocks, of Somerville.
Among the resolutions adopted were
resolutions urging the manufacturers
of the state to have Tennessee we'll rep
resented at the Paris Exposition in
view of the present importance Of Ten.
nessee phosphates aud other products:
also a resolution asking the Legisla.
ture to enact a law similar to the Fire
Marshall law of Massachusetts for the
punishment Of incendiarism. This Law
in Massachusetts has reduced insur.
ance rates immensely.

celye subscriptions for newspapers and
other like service, on the side, and the
compensation received from the party
served is extra. They make daily de-
livery except Sundays and holidays.
