REPORTS LACK UNIFORMITY.
The State Board of Equalization is in
Much Trouble.


NASHVILLE. Aug. l0-The State
board of equalization Is so badly
wool gathered over Its duties and
powers that 1t Is said Attorney
General Pickle will have to come to
the rescue. Tr' asu-er Craig lett the

reports sent in by the county boards
are lacking in uniformity. For in-
stance, Crockett county possibly
sent In every actual real estate
transfer, numbering 100 to 100, while
Shelby county sends In 25 or 30. In
many instances while the sale price
Is given, the assessed value Is not
given, rendering the statement alb
solutely yaluleess.
Then again, in many counties the
assessllIe mt in some civil districts Is
what 1t should be. while In other dis
tricts they are entirely inadequate.
This, Of course, could not be rsme-
died, as an increase In county af-
fects all property proportionately.
The statements so far received are
of such character the members of
the board feel they should not be re-
quired to act on them.
Then again, action must be had by
September 10, and to consider the
ass essments intelligently within
that time, even with all the facts be-
fore them, would require the state
offic ais to abandon every other duty

that he has recovered the full use Of

AN EPITAPH.

Here lies a poor woman who always was
busy;
She lived under pressure that rendered
her dizzy.
She belonged to ten clubs, and read
Browning by sight;
Shone at luncheons and teas, and would
vote if she might.
She served on school board with cour-
age and zeal;
She golfed and she kodaked, and rode on
awheel.
She read Tolstoi and Ibson, knew mi
crobes by name,
Approved of Desarte, and loved to
shoot game.
Her children went IL for the top educa-
ton;
Her husband went seward for nervous
prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an
hour free;
The shock was so great that she died
instantly. Pick Me Up.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
D. E. Vaughn of Franklin Tries to
Kill Himself.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 11,-Because he
couldn't be soldier, d. E. Vaughn, of
Franklin, Tenn, attempted suicide yes
terday morning by taking dose OF
laudanum.
Vaughn came to the city with letter
to Cap G. d. Clay, recruiting officer,
and made application to join Uncle

He failed to pass the physical ex-
animation and leaving the recruiting
Office he took the drug on the sidewalk.
He was soon in an unconscious condl-
ton and when found was hurriedly sent
to the hospital in the patrol wagon. His
condition was serious but after restora-
tives were applied he was reported sf
improving and will probably recover.

A HUMAN LIFE.

A ship that throbs along in dire distress
Till lost in oceans of forgetfulness.
A tangle of sweet flowers, whose petals
To ashes of unfulfillment in an urn.
A wisp of tangled threads, whose parted
ends
No deft hand joins, no endless effort
mends.
A play who tickle players merely greet
And go and leave the story incomplete.
A bud that opens brilliant at the dawn,
Filings sweet perfume moment and is
gone.
A breath between a cradle and a bier,
The blending of smile, a sob, tear.
A book whose pages turn with each
Till time has read the tale and cast
away.
A mask worn till passing play Is done,
To cloak a wrath and hide skeleton.
A lie, whose ghostly semblance is con-
cealed
Till in shroud its untruth lies re-
vealed
A thing that shapes the sod for a brief
day
And dies and leaves its faithful slave
mere cay.
A story that is told ere tits begun,
A song that only whispers anu Is done.
A thing that chains the lightnings and
that stirs
The deep-the elements its messengers.
Lord of the sea and sky, a ruler proud
That quakes at storms and trembles at
d cloud.
That comes and goes on wings unseen
germ
That grows to fill grave and feed a
worm.

Tribune.

Huntinu For Pearls.

Many persons are now searching for
pearls in Duck river and the various
other streams throughout the county.
A number of small pearls have been
found, but so far no valuable finds have
been reported. The mussels in the
river near Columbia are rather difficult
to secure this year, as the ones on the
shoals were nearly all removed by
last year.
