Her husband, John b Erwin. lives four or five miles north of Jones' boro, and served as a special juror during the last term of court in this city, which adjourned ten days ago. He filed suit fer divorce from Nellie Erwin in the chaneery court here over year ago, but the suit was dismissed during va cation, on motion of plaintiff, Ap- Til 6, 1908.

c%ontemptuous Of The West.

theory that the territory embraced by
the thirteen original states is still the
real American republic and that the
great west, the northwest and south
west are still In a state of tutelage, al
most like the Philippines and Porto
Rico. This class of statesmen considers
the west too immature to have any pc
litical voice worthy serious considera

PUTS A ON FOOD
WHEREIN THE PAYNE BILL Is
WHOLLY BAD.
Adds to Already onerous Burden OF
the Poor-Better and More
Equitable Method Of Rails
ing Revenue.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Taft
said: In the making of a tarin bill
the prime motive is taxation, and the
securing thereby of revenue" The
governments needs are pressing.
Last year the deficit was $50, O00, 600.
This year it promises to reach $780,,
100000, and with the increase of about
$40,000,00O in appropriations next
year it may be even larger unless
congress adopt prompt measures to
.'aise more revenue.
According to the estimates of the
ways and means committee the Payne
bill now pending will produce a net
increase In customs receipts of SILL
666, 74S as compared with those col
lected under the Dingley law in a
favorable year. And to effect this in
adequate increase it is proposed to
levy new. taxes on the breakfast table.
Tea is to be heavily taxed. So is
cocoa. A r~etaliatory tax is to be i'm
posed on coffee from countries like
Brazil, Guatemala and Salvador, from
which we draw our largest supplies,
because they levy an export duty. At
the same time the reduction Of the
duty on sugar Is so slight that the
consume will derive no benefit from
it, yet this tax, as Wayne MacVeagh
says, is especially infamous, as 1t ex-
torts from the laboring man an actual
sum often in exces of the sum the
same tax EFFORTS from the richest
multimillionaire."
The tax on tea, cocoa and coffee is
not protective. They are necessaries
of life, and must be imported. The
tax on sugar, which is produced in
this country in quantities far below
the needs of domestic consumption,
is not to be reduced because influential
interests oppose a change to the ad,
vantage of the consumer. The cost Of
living is already oppressive, but in
these respects it is to be made higher
still. Staples like tea, coffee and
cocoa are to be taxed and a high duty
on sugar retained because certain priv

So far as the Payne bill taxes the

no opposition, moved to reconsider

house bill. The measure awaits the
signature of Gov. Hadley. Advocates
of pure milk favor the bill.
