Nashville, Tenn, Jan. ~ "A sensa-
ton was sprung to-day in the Cooper
Carmack trial, while witnesses were be-
ing examined concerning the eompe-
tency of Juror Leigh, who is being
charged by the State with drunkenness
the day before he was accepted as iu-
ror
j H. Walden, who is employed by a
sister of Leigh, stated that he heard the
juror say, a few days before he was ac-
cepted on the jury, that Senator Car
mack should have been killed long ago,
at the same time applying epithets to
the murdered man.
Walden was followed on the stand by
B. F. Ellis, who lives near Leigh. Ellis
swore that Leigh had said to him that
he did not believe John Sharp had any
thing to do with the killing, and that
the Coopers were provoked to do what
they did

For An Income Tax

Senator Cummins of Iowa has
introduced an amendment to the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill pro-
viding for a graduated income
tax, which he believes will pro-
duce 10 million dollars revenue.
Mr.. CummlnS points out that
it differs in some important par
ticulars from either the law Of
1894 or the amendment offered b,
Sen. Bailey. 1t exempts incomes
below $1,000 and authorizes the
deduction of that amount iron
every dutiable income. The rats
provided for is as follows:
Upon incomes not exceeding
$4,000, 2 per cent; not exceeding
10000, 212 per cent; not exceed
ing $4,000, 3 per cent; not ex'
ceeding $4,000, 3 and One-hali

Why Is It?

A Stafford correspondent writes
the State Journal that bankers

bank law which provides that ev-
cry director OF state bank

banks stock, and argues that.
as lew OanH,.s nave any stock
to sell, that the LaIkeIs will test
the law in the coul.s." There are
few people outside the bankers
who will question the wisdom of
the law which requires that men
control ng the affairs of a bank
shall own stock in that institu-
ton. It should not be necessa-
| ny for bankers to sell stock to
bank directors The Latter should
by all means own at least $500
worth of the banks stock which
they are supposed to protect by
their advice and counsel.
The law was passed with a
view to doing away with dummy
boards of directors. The more a
director is interested financially
in a bank the more attention he
will give to the conduct of the af
fairs Of that bank. A bank adj
vertises the names of all the
prominent men in the county as
members of its board of direc-
tors. This inspires he con-
dence and gains the patronage Of
all the friends of these direc.
tors. This inspires the conf.

of our Ignorance. Let us consider the
Bible that God gave us and that lie sent
His disciples out to preach.
Men today tell us that Moses had old
documents from which he gathered his
data for the wonderful things he wrote
and preached. Perhaps he did. He tells
us of the beginning, of Adam and Eve-the
seed of the woman will bruise the SER
pent's head a prophesy Of something
that is to come. He tells us of multiplied
things which point to the fact that Jesus
Christ is to come.
IF only one of these %prophesies referred
To Jesus Christ, the doubters might have
some ground on which to stand, but when
one after another in an unbroken line
refer undeRiab.y to Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, there can no longer be any
doubt, The old prophets pictured the
scenes of the crucifixion. The first chap
ter of Genesis and the last chapter of
Revelation fit together and all the inter-
mediate chapters belong where they are
found. A freehand sketch of Jesus Christ
is pictured in the Old Testament. line
after line works out to show just what
was to come. Socrates stood on the cor
