and assessment bills which will be
considered by the legislature after the
recess, has big problem to solve, says
the Nashville Banner 1t is well
known fact that the passage of the
state wide prohibition laws will deprive
the state OF Tennessee of large amount
of revenue. The question before the
committee is therefore-how shall this
deficiency be supplied? AS previously
stated by the Banner, there is a dispo-
sition on the part of the committee to
increase certain privileges, including
the taxes of the Pullman Car Compa-
ny, telephone companies, and possibly
of some other corporations. 1t is like
ly, too, that the tax on soft drink stands
and other similar enterprises may be
increased. II is for the purpose of CIV
ing oil the business and manufacturing
interests Of the state an opportunity to
be heard before the committee that
public hearings have been arranged in
three divisions of the state, the COM
mittee being today in Knoxville for
this purpose.
Acting upon the request of Chairman
Fisher of the revenue and assessment
committee, figures have been prepared
in the office of the state comptroller
showing the estimated total receipts
and disbursements Of the state for the
years 1909 and 1910, the figures being
based on the statistics for recent years.
In this estimate the total receipts of
the state for 1909 are placed at So, $751;
100, while the disbursements for 1909
will, it is estimated, total $3,958, OOO
This will make an excess of disburse-
ments over the receipts of $500, 9OO
The estimate OF the receipts for 1910
gives $3,5l9,5OO as the total, and the
estimated expenditures for 1910 total
$3,5O9, 400, or an excess Of receipts over
disbursements of only $4,000. ~
Liquor Taxes.
1t must be remembered in this con-
nection that the retail liquor tax will
be paid during half the present year;
1909, and the manufacturers will be
taxed for the entire year, while there
will be no taxes from either retailers or
manufacturers during 1910. Next year,
however, there will be no legislative
expenses. The estimates given do not
include any additional appropriations
for public schools, but the 1909 estimate
does not include the $250,0OO for the
Peabody College for teachers. OF
course, none of the extraordinary ap.
preparations that may be made by the
present general assembly are included
in the estimate for this year.
In the probable extraordinary expen.
ditures that may be authorized by the
present legislature for this year, some
large items are figured by Chairman
Fisher. These include about S25, 600 fol-
the central hospital for the insane; per.
hsps $4,000 for equipping the indus
trial school with water and sewer sys
TEN; say $4,000 for the capitol and
some other items, including the sala
ries of few additional judges. Should

WORRIED TO DEATH.
Soldier Detailed to Help Wright and
Curtiss Commits Suicide.

New York, Oct. 1.-worried by the
responsibility of assisting the aero
nauts, Wilbur Wright and Glenn II.
Curtiss, in preparations for their aero
plane flights at Governors Island.
Quarternaster Sergeant James Caron
of company I, Twentieth-ninth infan-
try: committed suicide in his bunk OUT
side the redoubt of Fort Jay,
shooting himself through the head
with rifle.
Caron had been delegated to assist
Wright and Curtiss in the preparations
for their flight during the past few
days, and this seemed greatly to excite
him. During the later afternoon yes
terday when Wright was preparing to
fly he frequently turned to a soldier
near him and remarked:
''Why don't that fellow go up7 L
can't stand IT any longer"
After Wright had made his last flight
last evening and the crowd of visitors
had left the island, Caron went to his
bunk and as he was turning in said to
his roommate:
Harris, old boy, good bye"
Then Caron reached over to one side
and grabbed his rifle and before Harris
could prevent him placed 1t to his head
and fred. He died almost instantly.
He served four years in the Philip
pines and during his service had re-
ceiVed several medals for bravery.

Brand; the paint with the life in it; the paint
that's made of honest Lead and honest Zinc and
Pure Aged Linseed Oil; the paint that wears
and looks better than Lead.
Horse Shoe Brand Paint, all colors, always
gives clear, beautiful, living look to the fin
ished job. Never bleary, or muddy or gummy;
none of that dead, dull appearance
Then, too, it pays store where they are
able to advise you and help you get the good
out of paint. Ifyou read this ad you will know where
such is right in this very town.
