TAX RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE
FOR NOVEMBER

cEPTIoNALLY HEAVY.
HARD TINES NOT IN EVIDENCE
Expected That There Will Be
Big Rush To Pay After
Monday.

That there is plenty of money in
! this county and hard times are more
| fictitious or Imaginative than real
among the folks of the country, Is dem
onstrated by the heavy tax collections
during the past two months as com
pared with the corresponding months
OF The previous year. Ii had been
expected that as one of the first re-
suits of the financial depression tax
collections would show a falling off,
but such has not been the case in
Maury county AS rule when money
is tight and times are hard the peo-
pie delay as long as possible The set
Element of their obligations, and that
due the tax gatherer is usually the
very last one to meet. But the tax
papers in this county have paid nearly
$1,000 more to the state and county
during the months of November and
December than they did during the
same months of 1906 The collections
for the last two months were $14,
997.35, as compared with $8,377.S5 In
1906. The heavy increase was made
in November when the collections
were $S,40S, as compared with ST.
568.61 for the corresponding month of
the previous year.
There was a. slight decrease in the
amount collected during December, |
when $6,589.35 was received For the
same month Of 1906, $6.S0934 was col |
lected. 1t is expected that beginning |
next Monday there will be a big rush
to get to the tax collector as the large
majority of people wait until after the
first of the year to pay taxes.

The funeral of James Mcclure, who
died suddenly at Chattanooga two

It was solemn, impressive and beau

conducted by Rev A. e. Clement and
were attended by many OF the old
Confederate soldiers who were com

the end OF that contest
Mr.. Mcclure enlisted In the Con-

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHT

1t is a hard thing to overdo, We
grant you, but, In one sense
there was too much prosperity in
1907. Everything was too high; ev
erybody had more work than they
could do; everybody was making bic
wages or big profits; everybody was
reaching out after investments; ev-
erybody was living high and spending
money, freely, extravagantly.
Now there must be halt; and a
balancing ups a cleaning up and catch
ing up. Investors will be called upon
TO pay for their purchases; their
stocks and bonds and phosphate
lands; and to meet these liabilities
business men will look to their re-
sources casefully and thoughtfnlly;
and resource every man has, or
should have, in his. business and his
family, is ECONOMY.
We do got look for any panic in
1908. The danger from that we think
is over. And it were well, we think,
that ii came when it did For if the
country had run another twelve
months at the break-neck, extrava-
CANT, reckless speed it was going, the
damage would have been far greater,
But though the panic is over, and the
danger of another one recurring Is
not now imminent, still there will be
close times all this year, and every
prudent man will begin at once to ad-
just his affairs to the times.
The volume of business the country
over will be less, and the volume of
expenses must be correspondingly
less. BY economy, by reducing the
cost of living and the cost Of doing
business, the net profits may be
made to approximate the same as
heretofore. But that can be done in
40 other way in 1908, than by re-
and reform in expenses,
and economy all along the Iines in
business, in personal indulgences. in
expenses.

THIS INSTITUTION is IN A FLOUR
ISHiNG CONDITION DESPITE
THE PANIC.

The regular semi-annuaT statement
of the Bank of Culleoka for the six
months ending Dec. 81, which appears
in this issue of The Herald. is one of
the best ever issued by that thriving
financial institution. The deposits do
not show any evidence of lack of
confidence on the part of its patrons
and it's resources fully warrant the
confidence which is reposed in the
bank. The bank has cash in vaults
and in other banks over $4,000, which
is more than half of the individual
deposits.

Judge Gordon did not mince words
in discussing the bill He did not

being wholly untrue, but he declared
that the course OF the owner of the
turnpike was responsible for the feel

With respect to the charge that Judge
Gordon had been a party to the open

the Judge said:

THE DIFFERENCE.

There Is marked contrast between
the condition OF the treasury of Ten.
nessee at this time and twelve months
ago During this month the State
must meet obligations amounting to
more than $SOO,O00 The balance in
the treasury at the close of business
Tuesday was a fraction over $500, 900.
Therefore in order TO meet the
months expenses it will require every
dollar of the balance and an additional
100000 OF the revenue to be col
lected during January. This Is the
result of twelve months of the most
profligate and extravagant admins
tration in the history of the State, not
even excepting the Brownlow regime.
Now witness the contrast. Twelve
months ago the balance in the treas
ury was so large that after antici-
pating and charging off every dollar
of the January obligations there re.

Recent bank statements, and the
this issue, will be of general interest
and will give courage and hope and
inspiration to the people of this coun-
ty, for the year 1908. When a scare
is over it is over; and the scare. so
far as our Maury county banks are
concerned, is certainly over. They
have stood like walls of Gibralta, and
without tremor or shaking, and come
out of the furry with more money in
hand than they started with or than
the law requires, or than they need.
And really there was not so much
scare as we thought We had sup
posed, with the general public, that
hundreds of people were drawing their
weekly allowances" and that the
cash reserve was going down. down
but as the Phoenix statement shows,
only IS of all their hundreds of stock

business necessities, and these few,

JUSTICE WEARS
DlRECTOIRE
SHEATH GOWN CREDITED TO
PARIS ONLY THE GARB OF
OUR OWN STATUE OF JUS
TiCE THAT ADORNS COURT.
HOUSE..

Theh claim has been made that
the idea of the directoire skirt orig
mated in Paris. And in the Juror
created by the holder element of
females who have shocked various
cities by appearing in the combina-
ton everyone overlooked the fact
that we have known and seen the
directoire skirt until it is so com
mon as to have been entirely for
gotten.
If anyone will take the trouble
of glancing twice at any ordinary
statue of Justice which adofns
most courthouses he will see that
the skirt is. of the directoire pat
tern, exactly like the much dis
cussed French garment.
While Spokane women were
buzzing so much about it the news
gradually travelled to the smaller
towns of the state But it didn't
cause the ladies of Dayton, Wash,
any excitement. Down there they
have a courthouse that is the
pride of Columbia county and a
bronze image OF Justice STANDS
upon it clothed in the directoire
skirt unashamed. The average
statue of Justice is usually set upon
so high an elevation that per-
son cannot detect the pattern OF
garb. In Dayton the statue stands
upon the second story, and of
course quite naturally everyone has
had a good view of lie and its direc-
toire skirt, or sheath gown. But
possibly a statue displaying a bit
of-er-limb isn't such matter OF
vital interest after all.
