ward dive from the dome of the tent, the Schumau performing horses three herds of trained elephants that are new to this country. and Capt. Rulings two troupes of trained seals and sea lions. There are many more big acts. Novelty and freshness are the keynote of the performance and .here are fifty clowns to keep the au- dience in constant merriment
 The great feature of the show Is of course the newly added spectacle, Joan of Arc, with a trainload G f special scenery. costumes and stage properties and a cast of LOO charac- ters. There Is also a ballet of 300 dancing girls, chorus of loo voices and an orchestra of l00 Soloists. This Is the greatest dramatic and spectac ular production ever presented in America, enacted on a specially built stage bigger than a hundred ordinary theatres. It is made portable so that 1t can be erected in the main tent each morning. This great entertain ment is given as an introductory to the regular circus performance and entails no extra charge Of admission
 Joan of Arc tells masterful story from French history in thrill ing and dramatic way and with the wonderful illusion of tons of special scenery and stage devices. In the great battle scene. the audience is held spellbound by the realism of the scene. while the enactment of the coronation of Charles VII is beyond question the most sumptunus and in spring stage picture ever seen.

 There was not many years ago in the state or Tennessee a certain cam. paign which involved the election of Judge,sa man so honest. so consis- tent. so straightforward that he com. manded the respect of the community In which he was a candidate. The committee in charge of his campaign had occasion to discuss financial ways and means. and incidentally suggested that the saloon men be asked to contribute. There was lit tie opposition To this until some one asked, "Will they contribute?" Ut Is not question of whether they wish to or not; they must.n replied the chairman
 During the discussion the candi- date had slipped from the room. He did not wish to hear what he knew would be necessary id order 10 secure his election.
 This man was honest, but lie was held silent by the environment of the game.
 Already the people of Maine and Arkansas are protesting against fraud. Yet fraud is always the cry of the defeated.

 The franchise was granted about seven years ago. An extension of one year was secured and the grading was actually begun about year ago 1 It is expected that the rails will be connected by Oct. and that the l gravelink and rounding up of the roadhed will be in process by Oct To-
 LAND Is ALREADY mGn.
 Already there are several appica- i tions for side tracks and spur tracks. Mill men are planning to locate on l the line and about eight stations have already been practically de- cided on.
 The bridge across St. Francis river is about complete. The work trains are using it now It is patterned after the famous elevator bridge at Kansas City, the first of it's kind ever constructed.
 R. NJ. Dozier, commercial agent for the Iron Mountain, said yesterday that the land in the territory tra- versed by the cutoff would sell for S50 and S75 an acre even now
 Russell Gardner owns several thou sand acres which he utilizes as a game preserve, The Mud Lake Hunt ing Club has several hundred acres which have doubled in value. A number of Memphians own large tracks in that territory and Memphis is especially interested in the deyel- opments of that section
 With small amount of drainage the land is capable of the highest state of cultivation. Most of this land lies in St. Francis county.

NEW YORK REPRESENTATIVE De
LlVERs POWERFUL SPEECH
FOR IN CONE TAX.
CRITIClSES SUPREME COURT
Democratic Leader Underwood Out
lines Bill in the House and Declares
Growth Of Socialism Due to AnnuI
ment of the Tax.

Washington. - Democratic Leader
Oscar W. Underwood, supporting the
proposed excise tax bill in the House,
charged that the Supreme Court by
it's annulment of the income tax In
1895 was responsible for the growth OF
Socialism in the United States.
The pending measures, which PROB
ably will soon pass the House, is ex-
pected to raise between $5O,OOO,OOO
and $50, 900, 600 a year in revenue Tor
the government. Multimillonaires An
drew Carnegie J. Pierpont Morgan and
John d. Rockefeller would be COM
PEELED to pay their full share OF tax
alton under its terms, the Democratic
leader declared.
A remarkable demonstration marx
ed the speech of Representative Lit
tleton OF New York. He cited court
records to prove the constitutionality
of the bill and urged its passage.
Il want to say that II we expect
10 tax the wealth OF this country as
we ought to tax it," he said. we must
not stand paralyzed before this nm
peding influence OF the court. we
cannot forecast the judgment OF the
courts, but we must not let that lm'
pede US
When the government had the
right to tax wealth" said Mr.. Un'
derwood, I'VE did not hear the So
clalistic cry OF those able TO bear the
burden OF taxation.
The spirit OF unrest came when
the Supreme Court abandoned Its pol
icy OF a hundred years and, five JUS
tices TO foIr, said in effect to Con
gress that great wealth was TO he *
emptcd from taxation
II do not want to be understood
as railing at the judiciary SAID MT
Littleton. Il do. however, want TO be
understood as criticizing the Supreme
Courts decision OF 1895 on the income
tax law which cut off at one stroke
three .fourths of the taxing power.

COSTS OF THE COMMISSIONS
one Spent $1,000 and Collected $500,
OoO-Others Collected Nothing
Spent $4,000 in One Year.

Columbia.-The Blease windingup
lispensary commission, which cost
the state of South Carolina approx.
mately $4,000 for one year, is to be
abolished within the next several
weeks as a result of the Crosse nres-
olution. Not one dollar turned into the
state treasury as a result OF the work
of The Blease commission.
The Ansel winding-up commission,
which was dismissed by Gov. Blease
on the grounds OF 'incompetency
worked foC four years at cost OF
$4,000 to the state and turned into
the state treasury about 100000.
1t is expected that the final meeting
of the Blease commission will be held
in Columbia in the near future. when
the final report will be made.
The members OF the Blease com
mission are James Stackhou5e, j. V.
Wallace. f. II. Dominick, Thos. F.
Rrantley and f. NJ. Thomson.
The members Of the Ansel commits
sion were DR.. W. ]. Murray, John
McSween, Avery Patton, j. Steele
Brice and A. ~ Wood.
Testimony was presented before the
legislature investigating committee
to the effect that settlement with
the Richland Distilling company had
been perfected for 100000 when the
present governor was elected. John
McSween, a member of the commits
sion, testifyiEg said that after the gov
ernor was elected that the offer oi
settlement for 100000 was never dis
cussed again by the representatives
of the Richland Distilling company.
The legislative investigating com
mittee has resumed its sessions here
1t is very probable that the members
of the Blease commission will be call
ed by the committee to tell OF the
work that was accomplished during
the one year of its existence.
