list OF OEL|NQUENTS
IS LARGER THIS YEAR
Than FOR LAST March
CITY PROPERTY ON WHICH THE
TAXES HAVE NOT BEEN PAID
WILL BE ADVERTISED.
INCREASE BY SMALL Per Clint
state and County Taxes in Ninth Dis
trict Were one-Fifth Of the Entire
county-Property May Be Sold On'
less Collections Are Made.

Next month the list Of delinquent
tax payers in the city will be adyer'
tised. Contrary to the city and coun
ty taxes, the list OF delinquents in the
city are larger than they were last
year, by small percentage. The ex'
act figures cannot be ascertained un-
til the list is made out by Recorder
Erwin.
The tax payers all over the city
were unusually slow in coming for
ward with their tax money this year.
In the Ninth district alone nearly one,
fifth of the entire amount of delin-
quents have been put out for collec-
ton by Trustee McFall. Recorder En-
win aas also been waiting patiently
for the slow ones to come across,
but so far they have failed to do so.
The property will be sold for taxes
unless It should be paid within the
limited time.

EXPECT COFFEE TO
SELL HIGHER AFTER
FIRST OF NEXT April
BRAZILIAN PRODUCT is OFF IN
THE QUOTATIONS SINCE THE
LAST WEEK.
MAY CAUSE INTERFERENCE
Take Steps to Prevent Shipments
From That Country to the United
states-6oo,o 900 Bags UnsoId.

After the first of April, in the opin-
ion of wholesale coffee dealers, the
price of coffee will go forward con-
siderably. A few days ago the mar
ket felt severe slump, and since
then 1t has been off several points,
the largest slump being felt in the
January delivery. For the month of
January there is discrepancy of Sc
points since the last few weeks.
There are now 100000 bags Of cot
fee on the market for which no buyers
have appeared, and after this has
been disposed of 1t Is expected that
the rise will come. It is thought that
during the next month, and at the
most by the first of April that all this
will be bought up.
The government of Brazil, from
which country nearly all of the coffee
uesed In this country comes original.
ly, will likely take hand in the game
If the market continues depressed
through the summer. In this case
they will take steps to cut off the
supply from coming to the United
States until a better price is offered
by American dealers.
What effect this move, IL 1t should
be taken by the Brazilian government,
will have on the future markets is
a matter of conjecture with coffee
brokers. Some of them, however,
claim that although 1t may help the
business for short time, 1t will
eventually demoralize the market.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March "a
Testimony was taken yesterday by

fish and game from R. S. Hopkins, a
| Columbia attorney who represents
Frank Swansburg, William Barker
and John w. Jackson, who claim to
have a title to 1000 acres Of the Reel.
foot Lake property. The committee
also examined witnesses representing
the West Tennessee Land Co., who
have claims on $4,000 acres, and from
fishermen of that section.
Mr.. Hopkins In the main gave the
same testimony as he did at the re-
cent meeting Of the committee, when
he made speech before 1t. He fur
Their said If the State wished to buy
the property from his clients, that
they would accept the prevailing
price paid for land in that section, or
IL the State condemned the property
for it's own use, his clients would
not contest that decision.
The West Tennessee Land Co. offer'
ed proposition to the committee by
which the State could purchase the
entire property for $4,000. They
offered the State all their lake hold
ings, with sufficient land on the bank
for fishing purposes, for $4,000,
while they proposed to sell the rights
Of ingress and egress for $4,000.
Ex-Speaker Hillsman Taylor, In
speaking of the claim made to the
property by the clients of Mr.. Hop
kins, said that he did not think that
the claim would hold good, as the
West Tennessee Land Company could
show a clear title to the land.
| Other witnesses who testified were
fishermen in the lake, and tended to
show that ]. G. Burdick and dock
owners, as his sublesses, had the
right to purchase almost all the fish
caught in the lake.
