Gentleman
In discussing the bee proposition will
first say that it is an industry requiring
special attention and adaptability to the
business. have been engaged in the
bee business for 10 years and have
found it profitable. The honey production
is surer here than in the east. Our mild
winters and absence Of moisture make
it easier to keep bees through the winter.
In asking for an instance Of the profits
from stated amount. will say that a
good thrifty stand will make about SO
lbs. Of honey which sells at an average
price Of 10 cents per ID. Our alfalfa Is
an excellent feed for bees and we have
the Cleone or Rocky Mountain Bee
Plant, as an additional forage. have
an apiary OF 100 stands which has in
creased to 200 this season and will
yield at least $50 easeso honey: another
Of l25 stands has increased to 100 and
will yield at least 500 cases Of honey.
have all told about 500 stands located
in different places.
Chamber Of Commerce,
Gentlemen:
l have been engaged in the bee bnsi-
ness nearly all my life and in many sec
tons Of the country and find the work
in Colorado more pleasant and profitable
than in any other place have ever con-
Quoted the business.
business here or elsewhere that makes 4
success at it as the business requires
special work and attention. The excel
lent feed the bees have in our abundant
alfalfa crop makes this great honey
producing section. have l4oo stands
distributed throughout the country. As
an instance Of what my bees are doing
this season, will say that have 50
colonies in one place which have incrcas-
ed to LAC and have produced 2z5 cases
other 100 stand apiary increased to $50
stands and have taken l6o cases from
these and will take at leas. 100 more.

AETNA PROPERTY
CHANGES HANDS
NAPIER IRON WORKS co. CLOSES
AN IMPORTANT DEAL.-PHoS-
PLATE LANDS SOLD.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn. Feb. 13.-
That a revival of industrial activity
in Hickman county is near at hand is
indicated by happenings this week.
The old Aetna furnace property, COM
prising a large body of iron ore lands,
has been disposed of to the Napier
Iron Works Company by J. ]. Gray
of Nashville. 1t is stipulated in the
deed that the purchasers must pay to
Mr.. Gray the sum of 5000 monthly as
a royalty whether any mining is done
or not. The furnace will be rebuilt
and the manufacture of iron resumed
after lapse of nearly a dozen years.
Another straw that indicates that
the Industrial winds are blowing this
way is the deal, practically effected,
by which two tracts of splendid phos-
plate lands are to become the prop
erty of capitalists, DR.. A. H. Grigsby
negotiating the deal. The latter owns
the Stanfill place and holds an option
on the Phillips property Mining oper-
ations will begin in April. Other
mines which have been idle for months
are expected to resume in the spring
and the outlook is encouraging.

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1909-02-19

ing the close of the fiscal year 1895
the Legislature passed the act of 1893
which drove the liquor traffic from
towns of 1000 or less population.
Then four years later came the Adams
law that abolished the saloons in all
towns of less than 5000 population.
This was followed two years ago by
the Pendleton law under which sa-
looms have been driven from all but
four counties in -rennessee It is
therefore perfectly apparent that
property values and State revenues
have increased with every advance
step taken for temperance. In other
words the fewer saloons the larger
the revenues and the greater the gain
in property values
Official Report.
According to the report of Hon.
James A, Harris, Comptroller of the
Treasury submitted to the General
Assembly of 1899, the receipts of the
State for the fiscal year ending Dec
L9, 1898 less borrowed money were in
'ound numbers, S1,91800O. For the
wo years ending on that date, less
borrowed money, they were 1885,
100.
By the report of Hon. Frank Dibrell,
comptroller of the Treasury, submit
ed to the present General Assembly,
he receipts of the State for the fiscal
ear ending Dec. 49, last were $685.
Y. To state 1t differently the States
evenues for the fiscal year 1908 were
lore by nearly half million dol.
IRIS that they were for the two years
S97 and 1898 In other words during
ne past ten years, the year in which
he saloons were being abolished all
yer the State, the revenues increased
Y more than 100 per cent. Last 7
ears revenues exceeded those for il
S98, the last year in which the sa- il
ION was allowed in all Incorporated I
'wns by more than one and three p
learters of million of dollars.
Some one will answer that this In L
ease came as the result of increased o
xation. But the tax rate now is Just d
re cents on the 800 more than it \
as ten years ago. The increase was a
ade in 1899 and all of the added o
venues have been used to pay of a
e state debt. The rate in 1898 was Al
cents. Had 1t remained at that
It'll this time the States revenues Il
st year would have exceeded those W
ten years ago by one and a half b,
llions Of dollars. In other words pl

From all Of the facts above stated
it is the merest idle talk TO predict
disaster TO the State treasury by
reason of the saloon abolition. Not only
will there by no reduction IN revenues
but there will be an actual increase
this year ana it would not be at all
surprising if the revenues for the
years 1909 and 1910 the States BIZ
ennial period did not exceed by
handsome sum those for the proceed
ing biennial period Thus all talk of
rigid economy, reduced school terms
and added burdens for the tax payers
vanish into thin air.
AS a matter of fact and wholly CON
trary to the belief Of those who have
received their information from de-
tenders of the liquor traffic, the reve-
nue. from the saloons has played
comparatively unimportanr part in the
receipts OF the Tennessee treasury
L is a remarkable fact that the reve-
lues of the state have increased more
turing the past ten years than during
my ten years in its history It's prop
,rty values have grown az a more
apid rate during that time than dur
ng any other decade since it was a

Property Worth More.
In 1898 there were saloons in every
town in Tennessee. In
hat year two-thirds of the counties
ad saloons. In 1908, Just ten years
tier there were saloons in four of the
inety-six counties. And yet property
alues in Tennessee had increased
thin that period from 1906 ZOO, 900
!, s444000,00 This is a gain of
early fifty per cent in ten years.
In 1865 the property values of the
tate were $214,000,00O In other

Daily Herald Stan Correspondence.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb 13.-Al-
though the State will not receive any
revenue from the liquor traffic after
July l, 1909 the receipts OF the treas
ury for the fiscal year ending Dec. 10
next, will be equal TO those for the
fiscal year ending last December. This
statement will doubtless be promptly
challenged, but with those who are
familiar with the fiscal history of the
State and who know the sources and
amounts of its revenue it will be &C
Cepted. Much has been said both on
the floor of the Legislature and in the
public press as to the deficit that
would be caused by the abolition OF
the liquor traffic. Many of these
statements have been made for sinister
purposes, but in most instances they
have come from those who were mis-
Informed or who had not taken the
trouble to inform themselves.
For the fiscal year ending Dec. 10, !
1908 the total receipts of the State
treasury were $3,649,172. OF this sum
the liquor dealers contributed only |
$322,000. Thus only about nine per
cent of the total revenue of Tennessee
in the last fiscal year came from the
liquor traffic. The saloons will not,
under the Holiday Statewide meas
ure, close their doors until July l,
next. Half of the present fiscal year
will have passed at that time. Hence
the reduction in the revenues Of the
State by reason of the abolition of the
liquor traffic for the ensuing or cur
rent fiscal year would amount 10 not (
more than 100000. This is sum
less than five per cent of the aggre-
gate revenue of last year {
Now where will the $160, 900 lost !
during the current year by reason of /
the abolition of the liquor traffic come q
from without an increase in the bur
dens of taxation upon some other in o
dustry? This is a very natural in v
