Tennessee now stands among the
first of the southern states in caridg
for the needy old Confederate soldier.
There are now nearly 5000 names on
the pension rolls with very few on the
waiting list. Thisis probably the high
water mork, and in few years the list
will begin to decrease. The liberality
of the state to its old soldiers and the
widows of old soldiers meets with the
hearty approval of taxpayers OF all
parties, and of nobody more emphat-
ically than the members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, Chattanooga

Governor Paterson Very Much Gratiied.

GOVerDOf PATERSON very Much TRAINED.
Gov. Patterson expressed himself
yesterday as being very much gratlfied
at the splendid condition of the state
finances as revealed by the statement
published exclusively in The Tennes
sean. "This showing is little less than
remarkable, said the governor, "and
should and no doubt will be a source of
gratidtation to every tax payer in the
state. 1t demonstrates that notwith-
standing large appropriations made by
the last legislature, the treasury will
be able to meet every obligation with
out any increase in the tax rate.
"I am confident from this showing
that we will not have any trouble about
deficit, but that there will always be
a substantial balance in the treasury
and the interest bearing obligations OF
the state due next October will be ia
ken up promptly The close collec
tons made by the county officials,
which the statement for May demon
strates, is abundant evidence of the
fact that our people are enjoying a full
measure of prosperity. - Nashville Ten

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-10-11

Such is the somewhat pretontious title
adopted by a new cult under the leader
ship of DIR. Asher Gluck, WHO has formed
the nucleus Of a colony ut Chicago, and
who recently has been seeking converts
at New Yerk and other points in the
East. DR.. Glndl claims that any man
and weman who will follow his regime
consistently for fifteen months may give
birth to a child having the power Of
speech, and who will attain full stature
and intelligence at the age Of 5 years.
The program includes vegetarianism, COM
munism in labor, all members of the
group receiving an equal share of the
total proceeds Of the colony's industry,
the absence of every form of sensual
pleasure and the wearing of linen clothes
from head to foot, even the shoes being
made Of this material, and the women at
tired in shirt, coat and trousers like the
men. The belief is that by these and 9TH
er methods of living the ordinary senses
may be developed to a much finer degree,
and that other senses, such as te4epathy
and clairvoyance, may be brought into
play. 1t is held that man has twelve
senses instead of Eve to be developed.
