JUDGE SAYS ORCHARD
TOLD EXACT TRUTH

told all and withheld nothing, | can
the more readily fulfill the duty that
consider the law imposes upon me.
Affect of the verdicts.
In passing upon this question it is
immaterial that juries in the two cases
declared they were not satisfied of the
guilt of the defendants on trial. The
statutes of the state impose a bar to
conviction on the testimony of an ac-
complete alone, and in each case the
court instructed the jury that a verdict
Of not guilty did not mean that the
defendants were innocent, but rather
that their guilt had not been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt.
Not at Variance With Views,
Fol these reasons it is apparent
that the verdicts of the juries referred
to are not necessarily at variance with
the views expressed here. l am thor
oughly satisfied that, under the facts
in this case, the court has a plain duty,
and that authorities leave no alterna-
tive, that the defendant must be rec
commended to the clemency of the par
doning board.
Communication Recommended.
The recommendation of the court 70
the pardon board is that the sentence
about to be imposed be committed and
the death penalty RENTED"
May Yet Hear More Truth.
Another reason suggested for elem.
ency was that orchard had testified to
many other crimes, and he believed
that sooner or later some participants
in these crimes will yield to their con.
science and join Orchard in confirma-
ton of the disclosures made.
May is the Date.
Judge Wood then formally sentenc.
ed Orchard n fixed May Is as the
date of the execution.
Orchard Thanks Court.
Orchard thanked the court for his
kindly remarks in regard to him. He
repeated that he had told the whole
truth, and that no promise of immun-
ity had ever been made to him.
Orchard Almost Breaks Down.
Before he concluded tears were
streaming from his eyes and he all
but broke down as he thanked the
judge for his recommendation to the
board of pardons.

To Appoint Assessors.

The commissioner should have power
to appoint assessors for each county
and if it is not thought best TO give
the power of appointment of such as
SCISSORS to the commissioner, he shoul1
at least nave the power of removal, if
he proyes himself incompetent. The
commissioner, as well as the assessors,
vice rule so that a competent man
knows his position Is secure, if he per.
forms his duties in an acceptable man
ner. The compensation should be lib
eral so that a good officer would find
the pay attractive and thus obtain fol
the state and the several counties the
best ability possible. The question Of
cost should not enter into this, if the
service rendered gives the desired re.
suit.
Furniture, Watches and Jewelry.
In this connection would it not be a
wise provision to drop the items OF
household furniture and clocks.
watches and jewelry? Both serve a
useful purpose, but experience has
proven that a manifest injustice is be-
ing lone those who are honest enough
to give in an amoun IN account OF
those two items, when as a matter of
fact, the great majority neglect this
entirely. Most every item included IL
the above, lose in value when bought
for private use and their value cannot
be properly estimated, also, you must
make allowance for exemptions under
the law on this class, o On the whole,
| think it would be a better plan to
drop both items.

but after seventeen years, we find both
of the above named interests have de.
veloped, and, in addition thereto, we
have great coal mines, mineral mines,
farming by irrigation and dry farming,
and many other industries: all of which
tend to make complications. Our lands
are growing to great value as our SOIL
cation and dry farming under proper
cultivation. So that lands that were
only valuable for grazing are now one
~hundred-fold more valuable, If put
under the pillow or under a proper irri.
cation system. Such changed condi.
tons make change of taxing methods

State Commissioner of Taxes.
To suggest a remedy is indeed tle
problem. l believe that a state com.
missioner of taxes could be appointed
by authority of law, who could make
such rules and regulations that would
put into his hands all information nee
essary to give him full knowledge Of
all facts regarding the taxing of all
property within the STATE, and, if hs
finds hat there are any under or over
values in any county, he should have
the power to regulate such error. All
schedules should be prepared and sen
out by ucn officer and such schedules
should be full and complete as to de.
tail, and every article that can be tax
ed should be indicated on such sch9d
ule. The party or parties making re,
turn should be held strictly to account
for the truth of such statement. Lands
should be valued at their worth and
their producing power, as well as their
proximity to market should be consid-
cred.

One Of the most interesting women in the
South and one who has dom much reviving
handicraft in the Tennessee mountains is
Mrs. T. l. Bayne Of Russellville, Tenn. Mr..
and Mrs. Bayne went to Russellville about
six years ago expecting to remain only a
few months. Mrs. Bayne. who is a woman
Of rare taste, built herself an old fashioned
log cabin, vine covered, with rock chimneys,
wide open fireplaces. and rustic doors and
windows.
Mrs. Bayne has devoted herself to the
revival of the hand loom weaving and has
been the inspiration for artistic work for
the mountaineers for hundreds of miles
around. She learned the weaving herself
from an old mountain nanny and started
her blue pot from one in the neighbor-
hood which has been in use since 1877.
Mrs. Bayne has made q noveliand valuable
collection Of coverlet drafts. som of them
on the original paper. old and wrinkled,
sometimes on the backs of old letters over
100 years old, the oldest one of which bears
the quaint name of Young Lady's Per-
plexity.' Among the other unique designs
secured by Mrs. Bayne from the mountain
women are the following: Missouri Trou-
ble.' winding Blades" and Folding Win
dows,' Leaves and Roses" and Washing
tons Victory
All Mrs. Bayne's looms. bought in the
mountains. are from seventy-fve to a
hundred years old. hand made and fastened
together with pegs. the only iron being a
hand wrought racket on the cloth winding
beam. Mrs. Bayne buys her wool as it is
on the sleeps back. makes her own dyes
and weaves much Of her own cloth.

ago. Married at the age OF IL and burdened
with the care Of twelve children, she re-

OF Biltmore are three hundred of them.
Here was an opportunity for a woman
to bring out what was good in her sex.
and this Mrs. Vanderbilt has been doing
for the last ten years. At the school she
has founded in Biltmore village the girls
are learning n~eedlework and weaving,

Miss Cassie Rogan Of Russollville is reviving

in East Tennessee. She makes the colored
patterns herself, but has the quilting done
by mountain women. The designs are most
intricate and wonderful, and the colors OF
the old quilts have faded into fascinating
tones and tints that can never be repro

East Tennessee who possesses the requisite

The most popular color is blue, made
from indigo and prepared in the old fash

is yeast. The coloring matter is made
by a recipe known to only a few of the
older women: a part of the mixture is always
kept to be put in the next batch to be
made. Next in favor for tints is a most
artistic brown obtained from walnut. lilac
from chestnut. yellow from hickory. and
purple from sycamore. Several oaks,
