COMPLETE OPERA
HOUSE REPAIRS
RAISING OF STAGE LOFT AND
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ADD
MUCH TO THE HOUSE.

Manager J. c. Yates, of the Grand
Opera House, has almost completed
the overhauling and renovating of the
opera house, and all will be ready in
plenty of time for the opening, which
takes place next Thursday night with
Hortense Nelson in Mrs Danes De-
tense. The work that has been most
beneficial to the house is the raising
of the gridiron or stage loft, which
provides ample space for the flying of
any scenery any of the large plays on
the road may have. This loft has
been raised ten feet and the old
groves and points have been removed
and all scenery will in the future be
lashed, just the same as the large
theatres in the cities do This work
has been under the supervision of Ed
Hendley, who is an expert in this line
of business, having spent many years
of his life with the foremost theatres
in the large cities.
The stage is in first class shape and
will anywhere form forth to a third
more room than heretofore. Another
that has been made is
the installation of steam radiators on
the stage and in all the dressing
rooms, and two down at the orchestra
pit All unnecessary doors and holes
nave been stopped which will cause
he house to be easily heated this
winter in any kind of weather. Some
ime this fall Mr.. Yates will have all
he house scenery repainted and
cleaned up. A new color electric 4
cheme has been installed, which will
'e used for the color effects in the
ifferent acts of dramas, etc.

II is TO be regretted that the Coun-
~ Court reconsidered and deferred
action on the resolution 20 fund the
eourt house debt By the Issuance OF
four per cent bonds. The issuance OF
these bonds would save the county
annually nor less than $4,000, a saw
Ing which together with the accrued
interest thereon. would itself, be sur
scient in the course Of a few years 10
retire a considerable portion of the
bonds. The court acted wisely IN
voting 70 avail itself Of the authority
granted BY special act Of the last Leg
islature and providing for the issu-
ance OF four per cent bonds due five,
ten. fifteen and twenty years after
date. These bonds could be aoated
now by the payment of a small com
mission. Money may be higher and
scarcer in January. hence the delay is
in any aspect Of the case unfortunate.
But the court should not stop with
the issuance and sale of the bonds.
II should provide a sinking fund Tor
the purpose OF paving the interest
and principal of the debt. This should
be kept as a sacred fund TO be used
for these purposes only so that the
bonds may be retired as they fall due.
Under the plan of the court about
$4,000 of the debt will be due in five
wears. When it does mature there
should be money on hand TO pay 1t.
The county should not have to resort
to another issue of bonds to meet the
bonds maturing.
While there is a good deal of force
in the argument made by the Justices
who would levy heavy tax to pay the
debt in a few years, we do not be
lieve that the people would approve
q radical raise in the tax rate for this
purpose when the money can be Cd
tanned at four per cent. Money is
worth more than four per cent to the
farmers and business men Of the
county and it would be hardship to
orce them to pay an extraordinarily ,
Ugh rate of taxes when the funds
Gould be obtained at that rate from
capitalists in the East But this does r
Tot effect the force of our contention :
hat the debt should be provided for 4
yhen due by an adequate levy. The +
ounty will be better off when it is h
rec from debt and that condition q
hould be realized without unneces- :,
arily burdening the tax payers Of this q
eneration. u

THE SCHOOL TAXES.

Whatever is worth doing at all Is
worth doing well. Schools should be
efficient and thoroughly capable OF
serving the purpose for which they
are designed. Poor schools are
detriment to any community. The
South's lack of public school IA
cilities has been the chief reason why
il has not attracted the immigration
that has gone to the North and North
west. Good schools are a splendid
advertisement. But we cannot have
good schools unless we are willing to
pay for them.
1t takes money TO employ first class
teachers. to provide comfortable and
commodious buildings and to meet
the other necessary expenses OF
first rate school system. That is the
chief drawback with out educational
system in Tennessee. The people
have been too niggardly in voting APP
preparations to maintain the schools.
Because of the inefficient teachers
who have been employed and the
short terms much of the money that
has been raised has been actually
wasted.
Just the other day we heard large
tax payer remark that while he paid
a hundred dollars a year school tax
he was obliged to send his children to
a private school because the public
schools in his section of the county
were so inefficient that he could not
afford to patronize them. This tax
payer would rather pay 5000 a year
and have good schools. There are
many who entertain the same senti- {
ment.
1t is ridiculous to talk about run t
ming a first class school for an ade- '
quate term on an average tuition cost c
of less than SIS for the term and that
is all that the State of Tennessee is S
spending at this time. Many States 5
in the North and West spend from g
six to eight times as much. The tax
rate in this county is ridiculously
small. 1t ought to be increased. 1t
will soon be time to levy the taxes
for next year and the friends of educa-
ton should bestir themselves and 7
bring whatever influence that have u
% bear upon the members of the u
County Court to secure an increase in 81
he levy, 1o
Members of the County Court know IL
hat this county is not paying it's q
eachers adequate salaries. That is st
by the fact that they are 81
onstantly appearing before the Coun- u
Y Court of Education with requests "
or an increase in salaries of certain VI
eachers. The County Board would
lady pay better salaries but it is 'e
elpless. 1t cannot spend more than
he school revenues. The Board, is -
re believe, progressive and intelli- w.
ent, but it is badly hampered for
lck of funds. These the County -
curt alone can supply.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Press dispatches from Knoxville
last Monday morning told of the
brutal and wanton murder of three
iaw-abiding citizens in front of q
church The killing occurred in
Campbell county, in which is located
saloon-cursed Lafollette. The muir
derers had been to a liquor dive and
tanked up on mean whiskey. They
had no grievance, real or fancied,
against the men who they shot down
in cold blood and without a moments
warning. They were sacrificed to the
wanton within of murderous minds.
The only reason that can be as
signed for the dastardly deed was the
luminosity which the drunken murder
ars felt toward the good citizens who
had voted to close the saloons. One
Of the slain was the pastor of the
church who had just concluded his
morning service. He had given Of
Tense because as true servant in
the Masters vineyard, he had warned
the people against the evils of the
saloon and the curse of the drink de-
mon. But no sermon that he ever
preached was so awful a warning of
the dangers that Turk in the poisoned
liquor as this terrible tragedy on that
quiet and beautiful Sabbath morn.
Here is an abject lesson of the ter
rible consequences of drink. 1t not
only deprived these men of their
reason, but it has sunk them to the
very lowest depths of depravity and
Il they do not end their early careers
upon the gallows it will be because
Justice has been outraged That
which will make demons of human
beings destroy their sense of right
and send them forth as cowardly
,ssassins should never be tolerated il
| Christian community. Can any de-
ender of the infamous traffic stand a.
I were in the presence of this terrible
ragedy and plead for its perpetual
ion, even though he cloak and veil
lis appeal with vaporings about per
onal liberty and the sacred princi-
lie of local self government
What cared these drink-crazed 6
emons about personal liberty? They
estroyed three human lives; they VIC
ated the highest law Of God or man?
cd Almighty and He alone can give
fe. 1t is his most precious gift. il
hese slain men had the right to live n
ntil God should call them to the b
Their and better shore. Theirs was h
higher right and a greater privilege a
ian that which any purveyor of soul o.
drink should ever have. II
ow idle it is to talk of personal lib
'ty" and local self-government" OF

All patriotic citizens should rejoice
in the signs of improvement in the
public schools of the county. They
are being better attended this session
than ever before and the people are
showing more lively interest in the
educational institutions of the county
than they have ever manifested. But
good schools cannot be maintained
without money. The tax levy in
Maury county is ridiculously small.
It is not half the average for the
State. This county should have long
er terms, better paid teachers and
better school houses. These cannot
be obtained with the present tax rate
1t is the duty of the County Court to
make a levy that will provide the
means to educate every child in the
county.

For the first time in several months
the records of the transatlantic
steamship lines show that there are
more incoming than outgoing passen-
gers. This year has been remarkable
for the heavy decrease in immigration
to this country and during the greater
part of the year more people left our
shores than came to it, The business
depression has been responsible for
the changed condition. In stopping
the enormous influx OF foreigners to
these shores the financial depression
has not been altogether an unmixed
evil
