NESSEE.

During the last two weeks the
Rev. Preston Taylor, pastor of Lea
Avenue Christian Church, senior
member of the firm of Taylor & Co.,
proprietor of Greenwood Park and
Cemetery will be touring the eastern
section of the state in the interest of
Warner Institute, an educational in
stitution located at Jonesboro, Tenn.
The tour will begin at Bristol and
gradually work it's way westward.
Warner Institute is under the princi-
palship of Prof. Jas. e. Baker. The
financial solicitor, Mr.. w. P. Martin,
accompanied Rev. Taylor on the trip.
The tour has the unqualified endorse
ment of the trustee board, consisting
OF the following: Messrs. Adam j.
Hill, Louis NJ Walker, of Jonesboro;
H N. Evans, Samuel Campbell, Knox
vile; w. G.. Evans, Johnson City;
James ~ Ervine, Johnson City;
James e. Baker and w. P. Martin,
Jonesboro.
Word has been sent out that spe-
cial preparation for this trip has been
made, and as a result it will be one
round of enthusiasm from which
much is expected. No greater ova-
ton has been given a Nashville man
than is in store for Rev. Preston Tay-
lor. The dates and places are as
follows:
April End and 3rd, Jonesboro.
April 4th and 5th, Bristol.
April 9Th and 7th, Johnson City.
April Sth, Rogersville.
April 9th, 10th and 18th, Knoxville.

taneous rallies at Lea Avenue and
Gay Street Churches, April 17th).
April oath, Franklin.

1t will be seen that Nashville is in
cluded in this itinerary and that Mid
die Tennessee is called upon to do
for this school. The effort
being put forth, aside from the spir-
itual, will be to raise $1,000. No
doubt this will be gratifed.

900, which will be distrlbut-
ed in the same manner as the
$4,000 appropriated for the
same purpose last year.
Several counties adopted new
systems OF government, some OF
them following the same gener'
al idea as that contained in our
new system.
The general act for the pro-
lection of fish, which was in
charge of Senator Bass, is the
most important measure affect
ing the game of the State that
became law. This act will be
published in full, as it is OF
general interest and its terms
ought to be known by all,
Along the same line was the
bill creating the Office of chief
game commissioner whose dutyit
will be to have charge OF tl1
enforcement of the fish al
game laws OF the State.
A measure providing for nine
pounds of begging to the bale
instead of six went through and
will 90 on the statute books
Hereafter all seed brought in
to the State for agricultural
purposes will be inspected
The object is to secure good
seed and prevent the intro
duction of seed and plant dis
eases.
A measure which will, if en-
forced, prevent many accidents,
is the one making it a mis-
demeanor to point a pistol or
gun at another. Another salu-
tary law is the one making it
CRIME to fire a gun or pisto

comes from whatsoever source
derived and without regards
to any census or enumeration.
The railroad mileage bill was
knocked stiff at the last mo-
ment, and rates and inter-
changeable mileage books re-
main unchanged.
Hereafter the cancellation OF
chattel mortgages and real es,
tate mortgages and judgments
must be entered on the margin
of the indexes Of such papers.
This is Il matter of considerable
importance to all who have to
do with such liens.
A matter of special interest
to Williamsburg county is the
act which will become law in
a day or so, providing for a
special constable for the county
whose special duty it will be
TO enforce the laws prohibiting
the sale of liquors. This con-
stable is to be appointed by
the Governor upon the recon-
mendation of the delegation.
The salary is 100000, payable
monthly, and $300.00 annually
for expenses. The act further
declares that the office shall
cease in case the fines col
lected through the office fail to
equal the salary and expenses.
Attention has already been
called to the act relating to the
winding up of the dispensary
affairs in certain counties, in
Guiding Williamsburg, and the
general features have been

AFTERMATH OF The
GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
ADJOURNMENT SUNDAY MORNING
RAINLY LOCAL BILLS PASSED-S0ME
MEASURES OF SPECIAL INTEREST.

The Capitol, Colum 5la, teoru-
sfy 21:-The General Assembly,
having solemnly declared by
Joint resolution adopted by
both houses that adjournment
would be had on Friday, the
-lSth, at noon, actually did ad-
iourn Sunday morning about s
o'clock, after an all night
session, and the tired and
sleepy Legislators went away,
some to their trains, most to
bed, and there is no questioning
that some at least, were tired,
dead tired and sleepy, too.
During this last week two
sessions were held every day
by both houses and three by
the Senate nearly every day.
This meant work from ten
in the morning till eleven and
twelve and even later at night,
with intermissions for dinner
and supper. Add to this the
fact that the bulk Of all the
work was done by a handful
in each house, and you may veil
believe that this handful were
completely tagged out.
There is one thing for which
we all should be thankful, and
that is, the State is now safe
for at least until the next AS
sembly meets. Nothing very
harmful was done, and the op-
portunity to do further harm is
over. In the opinion of many

this was one of the best ses-
sions in many years, and that
doing nothing is what made it
the best. This is the same
thing as saying that negative
legislation is the best legis-
lation.
The acts of great general
importance could be counted
upon ones fingers and even the
most prominent of these few,
cannot be classed as towering
legislation. So conservative were
the lawmakers that their pro-
ceedings, which heretofore grac'
ed the front pages of the lead
ing State papers, have received
inconspicuous places elsewhere
and the acts and doings have
been told in much reduced
space.
The creation OF the commits
sion to enlarge the Hospital for
the Insane was one of the most
important laws enacted. This
commission, made up OF the
superintendent of the asylum,
the chairman of the State Board
Of Health and three others to be
appointed by the Governor, is
empowered tc buy land for en-
larging the hospital and erect
buildings necessary to relieve
the overcrowded condition now
existing, and for said purposes
may borrow and expend one
hundred thousand dollars.
The resolution to amend the
constitution Of the United States

and fifteen in the Senate

States follow suit, Congress will

enough to convict for these two
offenses, crime, will receive a
black eye in the State. But
alas, we have all along had
laws whose enforcement would
have cut short our long criminal
list, but the men called upon to
render verdlcts have shame
fully failed in their duty.
Disorderly conduct on a train
was made a misdemeanor and
a scale of punishment provided
therefor.
The entire list of acts ratified
fills more than nine columns OF
the News i Courier. Yet with
the exception OF a very few,

of Statewide application, and
