Blew Taps at Grants Burial.

The Fourth Cavalry Band at Fort
Riley claims the Oldest enlisted man
IN the United States Army. He is
Sergeant Hardy, trump2t7r, who has
been in the army thirty-six consecu-
tive years. That he is retained be-
vond the age limit fixed by law is due
to a special act Of Congress permits
ting him to remain in the army. Ser
gaalt Hardy was the trumpeter who
blew taps" at the burial of Presi
dent Grant
The Journal is reminded of another
man who has been in Uncle Sans
service far beyond the limit fixed by
law. In 1900 Gov. Stanley and the
party sent to meet the goth Kansas
at San Francisco were entertained on
the battlsship Iowa one day. The
party were on the top of the turret
with Captain Goodrich when a stoop-
sbouldered, slouchy-looking man
moved along the deck below, appar-
emily grumbling st all sailors and ma
rines who got in his way. His coat
sleeves were marked with gold braid
(ssrvice stripes) half way to the
shoulder. "Who is that?" asked one
of the party. why" said Captain
Goodrich, laughing, that is the real
commander of the ship. At any rate
7 believe that he considers me as
more or less superfuous figurehead."
And then the captain explained that
the old fellow was boatswain, the
hfghest non-commissioned officer in
the navy. "FIe is a type of the old
seaGog now almost extinct" contin-
uad the officer. HE has the same
relation to 8 ships crew that first
sergeant has TO a company in the
army. He was with Farragut at Mo
bile Bay. He IS retained in the navy
by reason Of his exceptional skill in
Gun practice and his ability to train
n sun crew. kansas City Journal.

is LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Aggregate Tax Returns of State This
Year Amount to $53o,734,947, an
Increase of $26,122,ooo
Over 1908.

Georgia's tax rate for the year 1904
has been fixed at $40 mills-S40O Oh
every $1,000 reduction Of 2-IO mill
from the rate last year and IL mill
from the rate in force at the Inaugural
ton of Governor Terrell.
The fixing of the tax rate is placed
by the law in the hands Of the COVER
nor, comptroller general and the state
treasurer. This board met Thursday
in the office of the governor in Atlanta,
deducted from the total appropriations
the amount to come from the rental
of the Western and Atlantic railroad
and from special taxes and then fig
ured the, proportion between the bal
ance of the appropriations and the to-
tai taxable property returned THIS
year. This proportion was the tax
rate-that is for every fl 900 of prop
erty $3.50 must be paid in order to
realize for the state an amount equal
to the appropriations after the revenue
from special sources had been deduct
ed
The aggregate expenditures of the
state will be about the same this year
as they were last yeaT-$4 021, 324-but
the aggregate taxable property has I'M
dergone a great increase. The aggre-
gate taxable property, according to
the 1903 returns was $504, ,947,
ha "a
turns amounted to $530,73
947, a gain Of $26122,OO0. This includes
the property or railroads and quasi
public corporations, as well as the
property of individuals and corpora
lions that do not make their returns
directly to the comptroller general
The board considered all these fig
ures and found by calculation that
rate of 4 $40 mills would bring to
the state in revenue the sum Of 81
157,551.S7, or a little more than the
amount needed to cover the Rppropria-
lions for the year. The remainder OF
the appropriations will be met and
paid with the funds arising out OF the
rental of 1.-The Western and Atlantic
railroad and special taxes.
According to law, however, specified
portions Of this rate are for specified
purposes, as follows: mills for the
general fund, 1 6,1O mills for the school
fund and 2-10 mills for the sinking
fund. Thus divided the rate will bring
to the three funds respectively the
sums of 81, 529,219, $849,183 and $106,
147.
The fixing of the rate was largely a
matter Of arithmetic, but the friends
of Governor Terrell feel gratifled that
in his term of Office the rate has been
brought down a half cent on 81, or so
cents on every $1,000.
The rate fixed applies only to the
taxes tQ.pe collected for the year 1904
and immediate notice will be given to
the tax collectors of every county in
the state.

PROSPECT NoNEToo CHEERFUL

Having recovered to an extent from
the stunning blow delivered them at
the ballot box last Tuesday he people,
AID particularly we of the South, can
look about and grasp the situation.
And that the prospect is about as dark
and forbidding as any ever confront
ing our section even the most OPP 1m1stic
must admit There is little lett save
honor in the wreck of the recent
carnage
It is the darkest period for the
South since the war of the sixties
There Is reason to suppose that
r 0osevelt's future course toward the
South will be calamity to the social
conditions in this part of the country.
The South had more to lose in this
election than any section of the United
Sta ee, ard it has lost it. That there
will be race troubles by the hundreds
there does not seem TO be the slightest
doubt.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that all his gre
tesque antics have been INDICATED by
he people, and if he does not pursue
an even more frantic C urse in the flu
ture the majority of people Will be
disappointed 1t is confidently be-
lieved that wi hin the next four years
the United States will be p unged into
serious international complications.
Serving as the successor of McKln~
ley, Mr. Roosevelt felt bound, in a
measure, to at least make something
like an attempt TO carry out the policies
of that great President. Even with
this almost sacred obligation on his
shoulders he shifted i, aud, in many
instances, did directly opposite to
what would have been the course of
Mckinley.
But even greater danger now threat
ems the entire South
The question of a reduction in the
representation of the South in Con-
gress and in the Z ectoral College wall
be of importance IN the coming session
of Congress. Crumpacker and his
crowd want an extra session at once
to consider 1T 1t will revive sectional
feeling and this Will be one of the
chief ills it will produce.
1t is not believed that the people
North will generally approve of it,
especially the people who are allied
with the South in business way.
The election of RoosveIt was not a
surprise. Practically every indication
pointed to it. The country, as a whole,
is prosperous, and the policy of ''let
we'll enough alone" appeals to the
pocketbook sense of the country when
times are good
