AIMED AT LIFE OF PRESIDENT
GOMEZ-MANY ARRESTS AND
~ HASTY VANISHINGS.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Aug. a.
Rumors are in circulation in Venezue-
la that the government has discovered
that there was a plot to kill Vincente
Gomez, the President of the Repub-
lie, and the Governor of Caracas on
July 26. Arrests and flights from
Venezuela of prominent Venezuelans
give some credibiltity to the rumors.
President Gomez imprisoned Gen.
Zailo Vidal, "El Caribe," President Of
the State of Bermudez, and for long
time an exile in New York.
Gen. Tello Mendoza has continued
his fight to New York, sailing from
here July 81 aboard the steamship
Caracas. He made his escape from

Workings Of the County Assessment
Act Of 1907.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 3.-AccOrd-
ing to figures now being compiled by
the comptroller OF the State, the In
crease in the 1910 tax aggregate will
be surprising. With five counties
missing the increase already totals
S42,936,555. When Clay, Grundy, Mon
roe, Sequatchie and Washington are
heard from, the figures may reach
$50,000,O0O. The grand total assess
ment is more than $5OO,OOO,O 900. Shell
by county heads the list. Davidson
comes second though it shows the
greatest increase in the State. Next
In line are Hamilton and Knox.
This unusual showing is due largely
to the tax assessors law advocated by
Comptroller Dibrell and passed by the
legislature of 1907. That law provid-
ed for a county assessor in every
county in the State. Heretofore the
large counties already had assessors
but the small counties only had dis
trict assessors. Comptroller Dibrell
was of the opinion that the law would
apply admirably to all counties.
1t was the opinion that the proper
ty Of the State was not being assess
ed at its real valuation. This district
assessors lived among their neigh
bors and usually turned in valuations
according to the wishes of the neigh |
Dor. So the office of county asses |
sor was created. This is the first gen.
eral assessment under the law.
And its satisfactory workings are
clearly evident" says the Comptroller.
The tax aggregate for 1909 was
$438, 639,676. The estimate aggre-
gate for 1910 is 1901, 576,2S1. This in
crease menas an increase of $150,O0O
In taxes to the state. Davidson coun-
ty leads in increases. The 1909 valu-
alton Of all property was $69,173,5SO,
For 1910 it is $76,915,SOO, the differ
ence in favor of this year is $7,742,220
for this county.

The finale to scheme that had

was played Monday afternoon at Pat

five Of the county candidates conclud-
ed an agreement for requesting watch
ers at the polls in the election Of next
Thursday.
Under the law the county chair
men Of the respective parties are per-
mitted to certify one watcher for the

county candidates jointly are permit
ted to certify watcher. 1t will thus
be sen that chairman Derryberry, OF

and Chairman Smiser, of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee and the
joint county candidates are each au.
thorized to certify q watcher at the
polls.
No action has been taken by either
Chairmen Smiser or Derryberry to
certify watchers, and it remained for
the county candidates to start the ball
rolling. A local attorney supplied the
material, and the rest prov

them up. ]. Trim Mcknight and w.

the wheat generally is making a much
better yield than had been expected.
