The City Board of Equalization, as
we understand it, has found that the
Third ward has been appraised higher
than the other five wards OF the city
and they propose to raise the others to
correspond with the Third. Is this
wise? In view OF the fact that the
country districts are low, and some oil
them lower than ten years ago, and
that the city pays nearly one-third of
the entire taxes of the county, why
should the Board of Equalization raise
the valuation? Would it not be more
in accord with justice and equity to re-
duce the city valuation to correspond
with the reduction IN the country dis
tricts? D. j. II.

Press Comments on the Congressional
Situation.

1.-THE Congressional Committee OF
this district met az Dickson last FRI
day and confirmed the nomination
of the recent primary, announcing
Hon. l. p. Padgett the choice OF a
ma jority ot the democratic voters ~
the 7th Congressional District. 1t
now becomes the duty of every true
democrat to support him, even
though he was Lot your choice. The
Democrat does not believe in doing
so in half hearted way. Mr.. Pad
gett's character aud record IL not
one that the most exacting demo-
cat should be ashamed Of His lie
has been marvelously consis emit
his character and work without
stain. Then why should any dem"
crat who has the interest of his par-
ty at heart refuse to give him their
support Had either of the other gu
tlemeu been nominated we certai :
ly would have avowed our intention,
as soon as that nomination was con
firmed by the organic ttion of the
party, of giving him our cordial sup
port. We asserted during the con-
test for the nomination that we were
pleased that the democrats of this
district had three such excellent
gentlemen from which TO select
their candidate for Congress Mr..
Padgett was not our choice-But he
is now. The voice of the party does
not have to be thundered in our ear.
We believe In living up to its prefer
encts and IN standing by its stand
ard bearers until the polls are closed.
There j. no paper or individual in
this district that has been more
loyal to their preference, until the
party spoke, than we. We do not
hesitate to say, even now, that the
privilege of supporting w. J. Whit
.thorne as the nominee of the party
would have been one Of the greatest
pleasures of our lives-but the
privilege OF supporting the regular
nominee of the party, as against any
other candidate, is duty that we as
democrats owe the party. In Mr.
Boyd's candidacy for the nonina.
ton Of the Att"rney-General, the
Democrat was his friend and sup
porter, ard had he received the
nomination in this instance, vs.
should not have jumped the fence
