According to the Iron Age two of the largest spiral springs ever made in the United States were shipped recently from Pittsburg. The springs are 271s inches in diameter, and have a height of 34 inches. When closed solid they are 19 inches high. They are made of 11s inch steel, and the bars were 533 inches long. The springs are so elastic that they can be moved with the fin ger. while it requires a pressure of 5000 pounds to close them down. The rule among spring makers has heretofore been that the inside diameter of a spring must not be over 10 times the thickness of the bars without special appliances to keep the coils in position. These springs, however, are seventeen times the diameter Cf the bar.

The Largest State.

Some idea of the state ofTexas may be formed with the aid of a few statistics. Itsextreme length is 62O and its bredth 785 miles, comprising an area 265, 7sO square miles. It has 243 coun- ties 19, ,5OO,OOO acres of improv- ed farming land, and farm prop. erty of the value 1862, ,OOO,O 900. The number of it's farms is 352,- 100. Its population as shown by the last census was 3,O48,- 7l0, being in point of numbers the sixth state in the Union
 Those which exceed it are New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Mis- souri and Illinois, whose aggre- gate population is 23,656, ,769. Yet their total area is only 262.. O1O square miles. This is less by 3,770 square miles than Texas, which would not be capitalized were Connecticut and Rhode Is- land thrown in. If the popula- tion of Texas were as great to the square mile as New York, it would be 9,59S, ,22O, or nearly twice that of the five states men, tioned.-Ex.

Triumphs of Modern Sursery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scrap. ed and polished and put back, ,or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pires take the place of the diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressing are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries defore in- flammation sets in, which causes them to heal without matura- tion and in one-third the time re- quired by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antisepic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. Italso allays the pains and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time money, not to. mention the in- convenience and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by F. J. Wattron.

Manuel Lucero, the Costa Rican coal
passer who has been i'm jail ever since
last July awaiting trial in the u. 5.

was alleged that on leaving San Fran
cisco he had been told by ]. f. McIn-
tOsh, the first assistant engineer, to go
to work, upon which he had butted the
officer with his head and had after
wards struck him i'm the face. Having
entered a plea of not guilty the prison
err was held until the arrival of the

The Staff says taxes will be higher

statement is deliberately made in the
face of the fact that the valuation of the
9th district will show a net decrease over
1908, and the city levy will be reduced
% or so cents and the state and county
levy has been reduced IS cents, making
the total to be paid upon a decreased
valuation $3.50 or 1918 instead of
1885. This false statement is made
to defeat Henry Jackson for trustee
and to make it appear that the THE
COMET is responsible for the increase
on account of fees collected, when the
fact is the editor of THE COMET is
largely responsible for the state and
county levy being reduced.

son to answer such silly nonsense, but
quote from the revenue act of 1908
Sec. 81 says, the trustee shall adyer
tise the delinquent property, gives
form of notice, provides the number of
insertions and says the county shall
pay the fee therefor. The act no where
fixes the fee nor does it provide that
legal rates shall be charged. Section
81 says "the Trustee shall proceed to
sell the land of each delinquent tax
payer to pay the amount of taxes due
by him and all costs, interests, penal
ties and charges thereon" Is that
plain enough for this learned gentle
man who floated out of the Bristol
Courier Office on a tripod he couldn't
hold on the floor and made room for a
heavier editor? THE COMET waived
the assumption by the county of thu
fees and agreed to look to the land on,
ly, and for that reason received the sal,
notice. The Staff should get new lega

The Staff asks if Henry jackson
knows that Attorney General Gates has
held that the county, and not the wild
ow and orphan ETC., should bear the
expense Of the tax sale. We don't
know what Mr.. Jackson knows, but we
know that Mr.. Gates did not render
such an opinion. On June 18th at
Jackson, Tenn, Mr.. Gates wrote Comp
troller Dibrell chat it is the duty of the
several trustees of this state, after ad-
vertising as prescribed by act of 1903,
to sell on the first Monday in June.
This opinion was sought because the
act of 1901 provided that sales be made
in July and it was simply a question of
which act to follow. The Staff follows
this cold stab at the truth by asking
Mr.. Jackson to cite any law that ex-
empts the county from paying for this
work, We will not bother Mr.. Jack.
