Col. John H. Savage.

1t is doubtful if any man
ever lived in the state who
was more intimately and in
diligently familiar with Ten
nessee affairs than John III.
Savage, none has more dis
tinctly and deeply made his
impress upon the legislation
of the State, none ever served
it with more answering de-
votion in peace and war. He
possesses even in his old age
as he has throughout his
long and extremely active
life the primal elements of a
heroic mould, perfect fear
lessness and absolute hon
esty of purpose. No man in
the State ever had 4 more
impressive and indomitable
courage of conviction. He
hewed to that line regardless
of the temptations ofambition
and scorning the tricks of
time-seTvers.
Col. Savage is one of the
oldest veterans of all Ten
nessee volunteers. He SER
we'd in the Texan war for in
dependence, the Mexican and
the Seminole Indian wars
and in the Civil war, in every
one of them noted among his
comrades for his courage and
his fortitude. His recollec-
ton of having been mustered
out of a company in Nashville
in 1886, sixty three years ago,
seems as vivid as is to most
of us the mastering out a few
days ago of the youngest
First Tennessee regiment.
He visited Nashville re-
Gently for a few days on bus
mess, and while stopping at
the Maxwell was cordially |
greeted by many friends, who
rejoiced to see the brave old
man and listen to his incisive
reflections about even the af-
fairs of the past, when his
famous grit cleaned in many
an encounter of brains and
courage with the best of
Tennesseans. John w. Nor

Tennessee Chickens.

More than twenty-five carloads
of chickens are shipped each week
from East Tennessee between Nor
ristown and Greeneville. The Knox
vile Sentinel writes that the ma
jority of the chickens are shipped
to New York and Washington in
what is known as chicken cars.
They are hauled to the shipping
point in a canvass-cOvered wagon
drawn by lean horse and driven by
leaner mOuntaineer who goes
from house to house through the
mountains and collects poultry and
eggs. The chickens are fastened
in coops built from the bottom to
the top of the car, leaving a space
in the middle, where the attendant,
a young mountain boy, sits. Each
car holds 5000 chickens, and the
chickens average two pounds each,
so that each car represents, accor-
ding to the prices paid for chickens,
from $1,000 to $4,000. The most
important centers for chicken-rais-
ers in East Tennessee outside of
Knoxville are Tazewell, Norris
town, Johnson City, Greeneville and
Rogersville. The interest in poultry
seems to be due to the
persistent campaign on the part
of the country newspapers. South

War Revenue Stamps.

Washington, D. c., Jan.
15.-Representatives Steele,
of Indiana, Payne, of New
York, Hull, Of Iowa, and
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
called together on the Presi-
dent this morning. They
went to the White House to
discuss in a general way the
question of framing certain
amendments to the war rev.
Ienue bill. 1t is not expected
that these will be many or
very important.
From all parts of the
country have come COM
plants to members of Con-
gress regarding the hardships
or incOnveniencies of the
stamp tax. AS a consequence
the administration members
of Congress feel that some
thing should be done to salts
fly their constituents and to
modify some Of the more i'm
pOrtant features of the law.
1t is well understood that
the revenues will stand some
slight reductions without en-
barrassing the government.
a few taxed articles, it is
said, could be Topped off to
please constituents without a
wholesale revision of the rev.
enue law.
The stamp on express re-
ceipts causes a good deal Of
trouble in various parts of
the country. Complaints res
it have been frequent
and bitter, and it is said by
House leaders that the in
come from this source might |
we'll be sacrificed to the pub
lie convenience.
The beer tax and the
stamps required on proprie-
tary articles have also been
the cause of much friction
among the people, who have
the tax to pay.
1t is believed by the House
leaders that they can hit upon
1 plan of introducing a few
amendments to the revenue
.aw which will not stir up too
much eXcitementin Congress,
md which will please the
people of the country by
tightening taxes. This plan
was presented to the Presi>
lent this morning by Rep
'esentative Steele and those
Who accompanied him.
