THE STATES CONDITION GOOD.

Gov. Benton McMillin went to
Memphis Monday to meet his
wife, who is returning home from
stay III Louisiana. To d News re.
porter in reply to questions regard
ing affairs of the State during his
administration, the governor made
the following interesting reply:
81 think the State of Tennessee
is in splendid condition.
eve have paid over 5000, 900 of
floating debt and 81, Ola, 800 OF bond
ed debt. This has been accom-
pl1shed since my inauguration, less
than three years and five months
ago.
"The legislature of 1899 passed
the sinking fund law, which pro-
vided that we should begin to pay
off the bonds of the State from jan
uary, 1900. These bonds have been
cancelled since that time. In addi-
ton to the sinking fund act, that
Legislature passed number of laws
which resulted in saving to the
State amounts as follows:
Judicial expenses, by red1strict-
ing the State, about $4,000 a year:
the coal oil inspection law, by turn
ing the extra fees into the treasury,
yielded approximately $4,000 a
year; the law reducing the cost of
keeping insane patients, $4,000 a
year; a law was passed putting a
tax of one-tenth of l per cent on
charters of interpretations, which
yields S35, 200 per annum; this in
cludes similar tax on consolida-
tions of corporations, and we are
clearing over 100000 year, on an
average, i'll the operations OF the
peniteutiary.
1T will be observed that from
these sources alone, without any
increase of property tax, we are
obtaining or saving at least one
fifth of 81, 100000 year, and 1t is
by these economies aud these means
that we have been able to make
such rapid strides in the payment
of our debt. The Importance OF
economy, even in small things, is
illustrated by the fact that if any
one of the bills | have mentioned
had failed, we would have had to
borrow money each January, where
as we have never had to borrow a
cent during my entire administra-
ton.
1T will also be gratifying to the
citizens of the State to know that
we have over 5000, 900 on hand, and
hence will not have to borrow for
next year.
The subject of constitutional re-
vision being brought up, the Gov
ernor said:
Il urged the Legislature at the
last session to make our laws of as
sessment and collection of revenue
as perfect and permanent as posi-,
BILE and urged the doing away with
the custom of framing entirely new
assessment and revenue laws by
every Legislature"

Letter From California

Letter from California.
Editors Commercial:
With your permission would like
a small space in your valuable pa
per.
We left Woodland Mills, Tenn,
for California January Is, arriving
at San Diego January 21. Our
journey aboard a tourist sleeper
over the Illinois Central and South
ern Pacific railroads was a very
pleasant one.
We find California to be wonder
fully attractive. 1t is a land of
sunshine, health, happiness and OPP
portunity. There are no marshes
or pools to breed mosquitoes and
produce malaria The diseases so
prevalent among children elsewhere
are comparatively unknown, and
those who have grown old and
rheumatic in other less favored
climes here regain their strength
and vigor. Consumptives find re-
lief here.
San Diego County has the most
equable temperature known. The
winds FROM the Colorado delta on
the east and the never failing sea
breezes flaming the western bound
airy of the county together with a
humidity that is never oppressive
combine to produce the most per-
feet climate that is found the world
over.
We have located on an olive and
bee ranch in Spring Valley, -
miles east of San Diego. This val
ley is in the citrus fruit belt. 1t
has many beautiful groves of or
anges, lemons, figs, olives, etc
This is pre-eminently a fruit sec,
ton. 1t is estimated that a cal
load of citrus fruit is shipped out
of Southern California every TWEEN,
ty minutes during the entire year,
fair proportion of which comes
from San Diego County. This
county takes high rank in honey
production. There are vast areas
covered with the wild sages, white
and black, that produce the cele-
brated honey that has made Cali
forn1a famous. The county's hon
ey crop for 1901 amounted to 100
car loads, having a value OF 81, 600
per car.
In conclusion will say to those
who contemplate moving to Cali
fornia, if you live in old Tennessee,
are in health with a few dollars in
your purse, you will do well to
study over the matter for about
ten years before you start; but if
you are a consumptlve, or having
any trouble at all with your lungs,
you should fly to the mountains of
Southern California place of
refuge.
Long live The Commercial; let il
come regular. We are glad when
the mail arrives that gives us The
Commercial.

Kisses FOR ROSEBERY

tility to the Former Premier.
London, Jan. 14.-That the Liberal
party is not at all enthusiastic over the
promised return of Lord Rosebery
was amply demonstrated at the meet
ing Of the London Liberal association
in ST. James hall. Great things were
expected from the meeting, as it was
known that the former leader of the
party would demonstrate his Intentions
ina letter. The letter was read, and
was received in an astonishing man
ner. 1t was cheered and jeeIed and
Kissed
And not only did the audience throw
cold water on the ROSebery declara-
ton, but Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, i'll a wildly cheered speech, said
he welcomed Lord Rosebery back to
the fold, but with reservations. In
fact, Sir Henry said in SO many words
that if Lord Rosebery returns in full
standing to the Liberal party he must
come in and subscribe most, heartily
to ali the policies that have been main
tanned and upheld by those who have
been faithful always.
