The Chattanooga Press requests an
explanation of that S5O7, ISl.OO decrease
In the valuation Of this county This
is a task which We reluctantly face. We
would great deal rather chronicle the
advent OF new industry, or the com
mencement of some enterprise which
would increase the value of property
and mako tho county of more import
ance TO the eyes Of the world. Perhaps
1t is tho result of tho decadence of the
boom or rather at this late period of the
interpretation of boom, or. perhaps,
the starvation crops in this county and
valley for the last two years have had
something to do wi th it, and hence the
people were unwilling to pay their for
mer imposts on property that did not af-
ford them living. Or, perhaps the
value Of the property was too high any
way, and therefore the equalization
board kindly decreased the valuation.
The latter, however, would be some
thing distinctly out of ordinary. Hav-
ing suggested these points for the Press
We would advise a Sherlock Holmes
system of research, since the aforesaid
journal is delving into matters pertain
ing to the Wiley, and then give its
readers the benefit of the investigation
But We warn the Press before hand thai
the trail is diiiult and arduous, and
perhaps it should reserve its fire for the
mayoralty race in its own city, which
promises to be thrilling, exciting and
sensational.

There is much discussion going on in
the press of the state concerning the ct
hciency and nOn-etfiC! ency of the Adams
law. OF the other towns of Tennessee
we know nothing, but of South Pitts
burg we are compelled TO say that while
We have no open saloons (but plenty of
blind tigers) that the rank and file of
the thirsty ones have all they can fun
mel down and plenty TO spare. The ev-
ening train from Chattanooga deposits
here daily from five to thirty kegs Of
beer, not to speak of the Jugs and bot
ties of whiskey, all Of which are main
ly bought in Chattanooga, This town
is thus deprived of the revenue that
would accrue from license had we the
saloon. The result is no electric lights,
no streets and no public improvement
OF any description. The DRINKS and
drunkards are still here.-S0mh Pits
burg Hustler.
Truly sad condition of affairs, but
where's your Recorder? Let him fol-
low the example of the Tullahoma Of
fetal. And if the temperance people
have been in force enough to down the
whiskey element let them dive into
their pockets and pay for having things
as they want them as the inebriate
does. TO depend en- the saloon to furn-
ish electric lights and street mainte-
nance is not in the right spirit, and is
to enjoy them at the expense OF injured
women and children. At any rate un-
der the present law it costs the South
Pittsburgian more to get drunk now,
and If the Recorder got in his work
properly it would cost them great deal
more.

later another, but neither resulted III
any evidence against him. On August
IS. he was arrested and brought before
Judge Peabody. He now had two in
dictments against him, one from the
February term, on which six months
sentence was hanging over him, and
the other for selling liquor between
the time of the first indictment and the
first of July following. The search and
seizure warrants were also filed
against him. He had been committed
to six months at hard labor in Jail,
which sentence he was now serving, on
the second Indictment and the other
sentence was still suspended over him
The elder Reid was a man over 60
years of age, and had been engaged in
the liquor business since 1895. He had
however, always run a respectable and
orderly place and was a man of goo(
standing in the business circles OF
Bangor. More than 40 years ago, he
had enlisted in the service of his
country, and while serving in Louis
lana, contracted malarial fever and
other diseases, the poison of which
still infected his veins, and he was
now receiving a pension from the
United States on this ground. He was
an aged man and continually in i'll
health. Letters from DrS. WOOdcock
and Robinson of Bangor, were read,
corroborating these statements, and
adding that imprisonment was ex-
tremely prejudicial to his health.
Attorney Reid stated that he had
petitions signed by many of the lead
in ritizanc Of NanOnr inc]u1ino
eX-maycrs, and a number of the high
est G.. a. r. officials, which he would
file for the inspection of the Governor
and Council. He cited instances to
prove that had his fathers case been
properly presented, public opinion
would have stayed his sentence. He
read extracts from the Bangor papers
showing two instances in which SEN
tence had been suspended in similar
cases. One man was allowed 10 pay
a fine instead of going to Jail, on ac-.
count of a bronchial trouble. Another
man was accorded the same clemency
on account of Illness being an old SOL
der. and doubt about his being in
charge of the shop on the day when
the seizure was made. All these facts
existed at the time of the trial. but
were not properly presented. What
was justice then, would appear to be
justice now. He was content to rest
his case with the judgement and elem
ency of the Governor and Council.
In reply as to whether his fathers
place was still being run. Mr. Reid.
Jr., SAID that it was being run as Il
restaurant by an elder brother.
The DptitiOn was t2 blpd for tho eve
cutive session. which was Immediately
called. Nothing was given out about
the executive session. except that the
petitioners, Reid and Withee. were
granted leave to withdraw. The next

How to Measure a River.

Anybody col measure approx
mately the breadth of a river with
out a surveyors compass or any me-
chanical means whatever. The man
who desires to make the experiment
should place himself at the edge of
the stream, then stand perfectly
still, face the opposite bank and
lower the brim of his har until it
just cuts the opposite bank. Then
let him put both hands under his
chin to steady his head and turn
slowly round until the hat brim
cuts some point on the level ground
behind him. Mark the spot where
the hat brim cut7 the ground, then
pace off the distance, and it will be
found about the breadth of the river.
