The Importance of this simple statement
may be understood when the reader is re-
minded that for period of years the nihi-
lists of that unhappy country had been
making determined efforts to take the life
OF the emperor. Only three months before
II was announchd that the car. while out
hunting met with accident in which
he was seriously injured II is significant
that several persons who were near the
scene of the accident were Immediately
arrested. One was hanged and the others
transported to Siberia. Again there had
been an ..accidentar' explosion in the
winter palace while the car was attend
ing state dinner. Nothing ever came or
this incident. although 1t was proven later
that nihilsts had entered the palace dis
guised as plumbers.
Now however it was believed in high
official circles that the country was TO
enter upon an era OF internal peace. The
emperor issued manifesto or conclia-
ton Arrears OF taxes were reunited

HAYTIANS START
ANOTHER REVOLT
OUTBREAK IN NORTHERN PART,
BUT OBJECT OF RISING is
NOT CLEAR.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, Dec. o.
There has been a revolutionary out
break in several of the Northern
towns of the Republic, and it is feared
that the movement will spread. The
principal towns affected are Port De-
Paix, Hinche and Jean Babel Other
points of minor importance also re-
port outbreaks. Gen. Robillard has
left Plaisance for Gonaives for the
purpose Of suppressing the disorders.
1t is as yet impossible to give the
movement and definite object or aim,
or to determine in whose favor 1t is
being organized.
Gen, Belliard, who was Minister OF
War under President Hippoplyte, has
been made President of the committee
sent out from Port-au-Prince to en-
deayor to persuade the people of Cape
Haytien peacefully to accept the new
regime of Gen. Simon. Gen. Belliard
is very unpopular here, and his selec-
ton for this duty may bring about
serious trouble.
Gen. Cincinnatus Leconte, who Is
credited with aspirations to the Presi-
dency, was to have left here today for
Port-au-P Prince, but at the last moment
he decided not to 60 This Gen. Lee

rior under Nord Alevis and who was

FINE
EVER IMPOSED
THIRTY DAYS AND $3.50 SENTENCE
IMPOSED ON Joy RIDING"
CHAUFFEUR.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-One Of the
Joy riding chauffeurs-the bugbears
OF every man in New York who owns
an automobile and of all motor cycle
policemen-was given the heaviest
sentence in the court of special ses-
sions today that has ever been imposed
for speeding.
The chauffeur Is Felix Droit He
was employed by H. P. Wilson,
broker of No rs Broad street, and
thirty days in the Tombs with a fine
of $3.50 is his sentence. Justice Wyatt
presided, and unless Droit pays the
fine he must work it out at the rate
of dollar day
Droit is an old offender. He has
been convicted several times.
Droit was arrested August 20, when
his employer was in California. In
the early morning policemen Casey
and Rickett saw him hipping down
Broadway at forty miles an hour.
The case was the most hazardous
that ever has happened in the central
section of the city. On seventh ave
nue. three shots were fired at him, but
didn't stop him.

w. c. r. U. ISSUES APPEAL FOR
PRAYERS FOR STATEWIDE
PROHIBITION SUNDAY.

Next Sunday will be observed
throughout Tennessee by the temper
ance advocates and the churches are
urged to remember the occasion at
their morning services. The local
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm

urgently urged the churches of Column

the day. The ministers are requested
to remember the cause of Statewide

Petitions have been snt here by
Mrs. Selma Holman, President of the
State w. G. T. T., for the signature
of all who advocate the passage of
Statewide prohibition bill and they
are being circulated in the city and
county, but as yet there has been no
effort to obtain signatures,
but doubtless within the next two
or three days the matter will be ar
ranged and these petitions will be
placed in the hands of friends of the

TAXABLE WEALTH
OF THIS STATE
TENNESSEE RICHER THAN IT HAS
EVER BEEN m ITS
HISTORY.
YEARS INCREASE is SIS, 900 600
Assessment Now Exceeds One Half
of Billion Dollars-Some
Comparisons.

After several weeks of compilation
I the efficient force in the office of
Comptroller Frank Dibrell has prepar.
ed the total tax aggregate values OF
ali property in Tennessee for 1908,
showing that the State is now richer
than ever in it's history. This gain
has been a steady one, and is substan-
tial in so far as the increased value OF
farming lands, town lots and person
al property is concerned. An evidence
of this is the gain of almost $25,000,-
600 this year over 1907, which showed
almost like amount over the pre-
vious year. This does not include the
railroad, telegraph, street railway and
telephone property, which is assessed
by the Railroad Commission.
The total value of all taxable prop
erty in Tennessee, exclusive of the
railroad, street railway, telephone and
telegraph property, for 1908 is $444,-
1S6,729. The value of the railway and
telegraph property assessed by the
Railroad Commission is about $8S,
900, making a total value of all prop
erty in Tennessee of $532, 100000, in
round numbers. This is an increase
of some $25,OOO,OOO over the valuation
in 1907, and Is one of the most sub
stantial gains in the history Of the
State.
The State tax for 1908 on the real
and personal property is $1,554, 653.53,
gain over 1907 Of about $4,000. This
increase Is apportioend very generally
throughout the three grand divisions,
and while instances of decreases are
shown in the number OF acres of farm
lands, the total value of such property
shows a heavy increase. The total
value of all farm lands in Tennessee
in 1908 is $19O,2S8,847, and the total
number of acres in the State Is 25,-
573.047. The increase in the number
of town lots is more than 11,000.
The farm values are distributed to
the three grand divisions as follows:
East Tennessee, $52,639359; Middle
$SO,O21, 9O3; West Tennes-
see, S51,131,975. The total values of
all property is distributed to the
grand divisions thus: East Tennes-
see, $125,873,276 Middle Tennessee,
West Tennessee, $140,-
O5S,555. The State tax for 1908 is ap-
portioned as follows: East Tennes-
see, $440,556.45; Middle Tennessee,
1923, 1914; West Tennessee, $780,
20494.

ifthere isn't weakning of publicsentment against

ed by public sentiment. judges and officials may
strive to do their duty, but they will accomplish
little unless they are upheld by public sentiment.
The people must stand back of the law if they
would have peace, happiness and prosperity in
their respective communities. Public sentiment
in behalf of upholding thel law must be at low ebb

toward the creation of healthy public sentiment

The tuberculosis Red Gross Christmas Stamps
And Human Nature

The movement to raise fund for fighting the
great white plague by the sale Of trading stamps,
is the feature of the present holiday season.
The idea is a good one, but itappeals to cheap
trait in human nature.
Men who would not ordinarily contribute fifty
cents to fund to be devoted to the same work will
eagerly invest in dollars worth ofthe stamps and
thereby advertise their benevolence. Those who
are willing to let their eight so shne' will con-
tribute a liberal share to the very worthy fund
whereas they would not otherwise partici ,ate;
therefore we like thescheme and approve it arti-
