WOULD YOU CARE

II you were away from Nashville,
living in some distant city, cherishing
fond recollections of the happy days
spent in climbing Nashville's many
hills, visiting some of its beautiful
parks, enjoying the many entertain
ments, both religious and social, or if
you had recollections of school DAYS
that reminded you of the Dear, old
golden, rule days." would you care if
some one sent you copy of the Nash
vile Globe and told you that they had
complimented you with a subscription
for twelve months as a Christmas
present? We don't believe you would
No present from home would be more
appreciated. The Nashville Globe
contains full list Of the happenings
in religion, society, business, poll
tics, and news of interest in and about
this city each week, so if you have
a dear friend away from home, a
schoolmate that has finished his
schooldays, sweetheart or beau that
has lived in Nashville, father who is
away from home, or mother who is
thinking constantly of you, or per-
haps an affectionate brother who is
away making a livelihood for himself
and dear ones sending you something
nice continually, or say sister who
has been wooed and won and who has
been taken away by her husband to
live in another city, you should send
them the Nashville Globe. 1t is the
greatest secular race journal pub
lished in America. Mrs. Ida. Harlin
who is now living in st. Louis in writ
ing about the Nashville Globe said:
ut is one of the best papers published.
1t is far better than any in the great
city of st. Louis. I watch and wait
every Monday morning for the o.

out the State. Shelby County shows
the heaviest gain, of 1000; Davidson
gains a few hundreds, as does Hamil-
ton, while Knox loses.
The enumeration is entirely salts
factory, from the fact that, under the
present system of taking the school
census the laws are very strict. This
law went into effect last year. AS a
result the 1907 enumeration fell off
more than 1000. 1t has been charged
from time to time that in many coun-
ties there was padding" The great
difference in the enumeration of 1906
and 1907 aggravated this charge;
however, an investigation failed to
Substantial the charge.
Of the total scholastic population
the rural white population is 490,340;
the rural colored populatio mis- 1885,
43S, total of 613,-43S The white
urban population is 99,431; colored,
60171; total urban population, 1884,
COZ. The total white scholastic popu-
lation of the State is 5S9,771, while
the total colored population is 1S3,6O9.
The percentage of the colored popu-
lation is, therefore, %; the white per-
centage is n.
The total enrolment during the
year is shown to be 500, 410, an in
crease over last year of 1881 OF this
total the enumeration shows that
439,492 are in the rural schools, and
69,91S are in the urban schools. Thus,
SO per cent of the pupils of the State
who are going to school are enrolled
in the counry schools. This, too, in
spite of the condition that the aver
age term in the country is six
months, while that in the city is nine
months. In speaking of this Prof.
Jones emphasized that 1--WE are not
demanding better opportunities for
the ~ per cent, for the city system
of schools is none too good-in fact
it is no good enough; but we are
working t secure for the So per cent.

Population of Tennessee
Is Now 1880.

OF all the good things the people OF
Tennessee may we'll feel proud of in
the present administration of State
affairs, one of the most prominent in
the list is the rapid growth of the
public school system. This good con-
dition is revealed by the statistical
report now being prepared by State
Superintendent r. L. Jones, and
which will be submitted to the Gov
ernor in due time.
Among other interesting facts
shown by the report, the increase in
the scholastic population of the State
is probably the most important. The
increase this year was 6,755. The
total scholastic population of the
State for the year ending June 30,
1907, was 766,625; the total for the
year ending June &c. 1908, being the
present report, is 1880. This in
crease is generally distributed through

the little guests were called into the

beautifully decorated with ferns and
plants, where the table was laden with

a large cake on which were seven
candles, all of which were lighted.
The little guests were Misses Helen

opportunities far suparior to those
they are enjoying at present"
Another fact brought out by the
enumeration is the death blow to illit-
eracy. 1t is shown that the popula-
ton of pupils between the ages of 6
and Fl who can read and write has al
most doubled since last year. These
increases have been general through
out the State.

BOUGHT THE
WRONG LAND
THAT RECENT CASE
OF LAMB-DAVIS VS.. NORTHUP
EFT AL WAS UNNECESSARY.

It has come to light that the case
recently held in the superior court in
this district, in which the Lamb Davis
company brought condemnation pro-
ceedings against Northup and VAR
ney for right of way over their land
was absolutely unnecessary as far as
the parties to the case were concern
ed. Engineer Warren has Just re-
turned from Leavenworth, where he
made a survey of the land along the
right of way, and finds that the
ground in conflict was in reality
owned by H. T. Hansen. Conse-
Quently the award of the jury of $3.50
| to Northup and Varney was granted
under mistaken premises. Besides
the amount of money paid out for
what was supposed to be the right
Of way, the suit in the courts cost
good round sum.
The question now arises as to how
the matter will be settled between
the Lamb-Davis company and North
up and Varney, since it is learned
that the latter unintentionaily sold
land which they did not own
On the other hand, it is claimed
that they sold land under certain de-
scription, and that the purchase: did
his own surveying and should have
known what he was doing
Engineer Warren states that the
grading is being done in the valley
on the Hansen property which is in
reality about $50 feet from the
Northup lines.
The whole matter is regarded as
considerable of joke by everyone
who knows anything about she case,
excepting the parties interested.
The question is, Who is the Joke
on-Northup and Varney or the
the Lamb-Dayis Company?

THINGS WARM UP AT SPOKANE.
PO1NDEXTER DECLARES ROCK
WELL CUT RAILROAD VALUES.

The congressional campaign has
begun to warm up at Spokane.
Judge Poindexter and ]. D. Rockwell
are the two leading candidates fo'
congress from that section. Judge
Poindexter, at meeting in Spokane
Saturday night, discussed the issues
of the campaign. His speech is re-
ported in the Spokesman Review as
follows:
For the past three years the
members of the state tax commission
have been telling the people of the
state how they would increase the
taxation on railroad property when
they were given the power" said
Judge Miles Poindexter, candidate
for the Nlird congressional district
nomination, in addressing a public
meeting in Union Park last night.
And yet each year the state board of
equalization, of which the members
of the tax commission are also men,
bers, has annually lowered the as
SeSsment valuations of railroad prop
erty
The state board reduced railroad
values about two million dollars in
1905, redcued them again by about
three million dollars in 1906 and re-
duced them again by about six mil
lion dollars last year And this, too.
in spite of the fact that the tax COM
mission said in its report to the gov
ernor last year that public proper
critics throughout the state were
assessed at inadequately low valua-
tions while farm lands and other
property were assessed too high.
What shall we expect in the way of
increasing railroad taxation values
from a board which has uniformly
lowered such values in the past?"
Judge Poindexter's remarks, while
not so specifically stated, were aimed
at the record in public office of T. D.
Rockwell, a member of the tax COM
mission, who is a rival candidate for
the congressional nomination.
Says Tax Board Numbered.
This year, for the first time,'' con-
tinued Judge Poindexter, 1.-The tax
commission has been invested by the
legislature with the full power to

DAVID B. HILL
GETS CAUST|C
SAY w. j. BRYAN HAS KILLED
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
LEAVES FOR EUROPE.

| New York, June 11.-David B.
Hill. former United States senator
and for long time leader OF the
democratic party of this state, sailed
! today for Europe on the steamer
Baltic. Speaking of his retirement
from active politics, Mr.. Hill said.
There is no democratic party.
When l met the late Governor Alt
geld in little room up a backstairs
| in a small Chicago hotel shortly he
fore the first so-called Bryan conven-
tion l told him that the policies
which he Represented would drive the
democratic party to hell Then when
he begged for another try fou' ears
later, l said You are most there;
stop before you have absolutely
ruined the party but Bryan was
nominated as l saw the futility of D
minority report with only ten so.ea
to back me.
Il admit that the republican aarty
is badly jisorganized at the present
time. Both parties are disorglli ell.
There was an opportunity, but felr
that it has been overlooked
THE key of the political campaign
should be Taft, the candidate Of po-
lftfcal patronage, what else is he?
He is put before the people as 4 can,
didate by the power of political pat
:onage, nothing else
Now, both sides in the coming
political struggle will have 70 GO to
the masses for their votes They
must draw from the masses, and
what better man could stand against
the candidates representing the pow
er of patronage than John Johnson,
who spent his boyhood days in a
county poorhouse. Think of it.
Torchlight professions with banners
readingf, John Johnson, the poor
house candidate' And from what
have been able to learn, Mr.. johnson
is more than a moro ncur-to tho-p0o-
PIE candidate. He is a well-balanced
and able man.
THE democratic party never want
ed Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan wanted the
democratic party. He forced himself
on the party in 1896, anj again wha.
was left of the party in 1900. and
now now in 1908 he calls himself the
democratic party and says: i have
kept the faith. "

should be rigidly enforced. The
constant fire menace may thus be
in Il measure lessened.
Pool halls are to be taxed in the
future at the rate of five dollars

alleys will come across to the city
treasury to the tune of five dollars

will pay tax of five dollars each.

The trustees tackled the dog
question manfully. An ordinance
was passed that will tend to make
dog owning more of a luxury and
less of a mere idle pastime. All
the dogs of the town will be
licensed and tagged. The town
clerk will issue tags to dog owners
who comply with the terms of the
ordinance and pay the required
tax into the town treasury. The
marshall, after due notice of the
required license has been given,
will be instructed to deal red
handed death and destruction out
to all untagged dogs found loose

A chimney ordinance was passed.
In general, its terms provide that

The Philip Concrete Stone Com
pany has inaugurated an industry
here that promises to play no
small part in the future develop
ment of the town. They are at
the present time manufacturing a
block that will rank along with
the best building material Of that
kind, and with the improvement
that is bound to come with an in
creased output. we may hope to
have building block manufact-
ured here that will excel any con-
crete building material in the
state.
Deposits of fine sand have lately
been unearthed on the Fred Robin
son claim north Of town, and this
has helped to better the grade of
the product put out. The plant is
fully equipped for the manufacture
of the usual kinds of building
blocks, and new equipment will be
added as the business grows. The
concern also manufactures window
lodges, chimneys, and other con-
crete building material.
Just at present the company is
at work on the blocks for the new
Methodist church. Work on the
foundation of this building will be
commenced in day or so. and the
walls will likely be finished before
extreme cold weather sets in. This
building will be a handsome struct-

an opportunity to show just what
may be done with concrete blocks
for building material.
