THE Jones' Warren pension bill
before the general assembly has
merits over the Cox bill which APP
pea4s to every patriotic ConfeGer-
ate soldier in the State who feels
an interest in the matter of pen
sioning our deserving heroes. 1t
is but fair and patriotic to give
camps as we'll as bivouacs a voice
in the selection of the board Of
pension examiners, who control
the States munifcent aid to the
worthy and needy soldiers, and
this is the object Of the Jones'
Warren bill. We regret that there
should be any friction among the
Confederate soldiers of the State
in their organizations Of bivouacs
and camps, and trust all may yet
be harmonious. According to the
resolutions adopted at Chattanooga
few days ago by the N. B. Forest
camp, which endorsed the Jones'
Warren bill, "West Tennessee has
now no member on the board Of
pension examiners, and that, too,
while it has thirty-two camps as
against eight bivouacs. Is it just
or right that less than one-third of
the Confederate organizationsshall
alone control the appointment of
pension examiners, and that more
than two-thirds be excluded from
any participation in their selec-
tion?" This is a question that
should be settled fair and harmo-
niously.

FROM A DRY" TOWN.

we publish by request the fol-
lowing Itter from J. I. Burns of
the Moore & Burns Co. of McKen-
zie to J. w. Bateman. The letter
speaks for itself:
MCKENZIE, Tenn, Feb. %, 1903.
Mr.. J, ", Bateman,
Camden, Tenn.
My Dear Sir:
Replying to your favor, will say that
after being dry nearly four years the bus
mess men Eere with only one or two ex-
cepiions are all we'll pleased with the re-
suits from a business standpoint. The
property valuation has not diminished.
Rents on some business houses are lower
on account Of location and the building of
some new houses here some two or three
years ago.
Our business in 1902 was the largest
and the most prosperous since its organ
ization twenty years ago. We have had
no failures here that can think of within
the past four years. The schools are all
fuller than they have been for four years.
ADOuJ Ou6-lOuILu dS uuCl WulSkcy is
consumed now as was when we had So
looms, We have no trouble with "blind
tigers" now. A boot leger bobs up oc-
casionally, but they don't last long, and
do very little business.
That the lack of saloons ruins business
is an old mouldy stock argument-the
only one that the saloon people can think
of noW-and has long since been explod-
ed by the experience of towns in Tonnes
see and Kentucky who abolished the sa-
looms several years ago, notably Martin,
Milan, Lebanon and many other towns
in Tennessee as well as Kentucky.
am not prohibition crank" but a
Democrat, and have given you facts as
they are here.
Nearly every man who opposed the idea
Of doing away with the saloon here while
the fight was on-fearing that it would
hurt businessmen admit that they were
mistaken, and would not have them back
for any consideration. You may ask the
saloonists if they are industries that Gre
ate wealth, or anything else but drunk
ards. / trust you will be able to "knock
'em out" Very truly, etc,

EXTEND THE DORTCH raw.
The Lexington Progress wants
the Dortch election law extended
so as to include the entire State.
The Progress appeals to the gem
eral assembly in this way:
Gentlemen Of the legislature,
you have IL i'm your power to ex-
tend the operation of the Dortch
law to every civil district in the
State of Tennessee. Is there any
good reason whyyou will not dose?
"If it is q good law, ought it not
extend throughout the State, on
the principle that no thing good
should be withheld from the peo-
pie when it is within your power
to give it to them? If it is bad,
oughtitnot to be repealed and ap-
ply to no part of the State?
"The operation Of the law in this
county has proved beyond perad-
venture that it is the cleanest, best
law touching elections ever put on
our statute books, and that with it
honestly administered there is no
chance for fraud or for the spend
ing of money and our elections are
as quiet as a Sabbath day. There
are no rows, no disputes, no riots
and no trouble Of any kind except
the CRATER who is not able to work
the candidate for anything,
eve repeat it, why not extend
it to the whole State?" 4

THE bill introduced in the gem
eral assembly by Senator Graham
to tax female dogs by causing them
to be registered, should become a
law. We can endorse most any
kind of a measure that will curtail
the number of dogs in Tennessee,
and while Senator Graham's bill
does not entirely meet our idea Of
what is needed, still, in view of the
very high esteem in which the dog
is held in some parts of the State,
it is probably the best that can be
passed by the general assembly.
A few generations hence, perhaps,
a measure more in accord with
what is needed to stamp out the
worthless cur might become law.
Senator Graham's bill proposes to
appropriate the net proceeds of the
registration tax to the school fund
OF the districts from which the tax
is collected. This feature of the
bill should also meet with general
approval.

NO MONEY YET ON THE FiFAs.
And Probability Is None Will Ever Be
Paid.

Paid
Some weeks since, as told in the
Times-Recorder at the time, tax exc
cutloos were issued here against q
number of citizens in sums of 5000
each as retail liquor license, the infer
ence being that the defendants had
sold whIskey here during the era of
prohibition, and, therefore, should
pay the regular state tax of $500 for
each aud every year. There was an
ocean of whiskey sold here, ell right
enough, and in violation of law, and
some of the parties against whom the
tax executions are issued may or may
not, sub rosa, hRye sold dram or two,
but collecting license tax therefore is
altogether another question. Mr.. j..
B. Dunn, who as tax collector issued
the ffas in question, said yesterday
that they had not been paid and, as
many of the defendants had moved
away or had no visible property, there
was some doubt of getting the money.
Several of those who were mulchted n
the way of heavy fines imposed by the
court think that they have paid quite
enough for their little "indiscretion'
in selling booze on the dead q. t.
