AT meeting held in the court
house last Saturday, for the purpose
of expressing opposition to the
stock law law or no-fence law for
Henderson county, the following
resolutions were offered and adopt
ed:
Gentlemen and Fellow.citizens:
After awakening from a state Of
lethargy. we find ourselves con-
fronted, and brought face to face
with. the greatest crisis in the his
tory of the nation; and we have
come to realize that slowly and
gradually or, we might more prop
erly state it, that we are rapidly
drifting into an absolute and des-
potic monarchy and almost the last
vestige Of our constitutional rights
and privileges have been taken
from us, without our will or con-
sent, by a faction greatly in the
minority. We we're once a free
and contented people, enjoying the
right Of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, which was left to the
American people asa legacy by the
heroes of 1776. But the ruthless
hands of frenzied fanaticism has
succeeded in battling down the tenn.
pie Of American Liberty and sub
stituted therefor despotism, tyran-
ny and bossism which has reached
q point beyond endurance and it is
imperative that we take quick and
concerted action to resent such out
rageous insults and fragrant viola
tions Of justice, or else it will fall to
the lot Of our posterity to pay the
debt Of such idiotic folly with car
mage and bloodshed.
The latest demonstration Of To-
cal tyranny has been manifested
recently in our own county when
certain individuals, who were lead
ers of the no-fence faction and
who, it seems, were devoid Of any
consideration for the rights Of 9TH
ers, did concur with the Represent
ative to call a convention on March
~, in such manner that they
could defeat the majority and thus
force upon the people a law that
they have four times, by large ma.
jorities. rejected at the polls.
And now, in view of the fac,

110,000,00O Thus the tiller Of the
soil and the taxpayer possess on
the average about one-third Of an
acre; the Russian nobleman, who
does not pay taxes, possesses on an
average some 1913.
To put the case in another form:
From every 824 loaves Of bread
produced by the Russian agricul-
turist, the noble landowner takes
away some 1923 loaves for himself,
leaving one loaf for the producer,
from which the latter has yet to de-
vote part to satisfy the state or
autocratic tax collector.
Nobody knows the amount of the
cars enormous income. The ex-
penditure Of some of it is traceable
to certain public works whose bud
gets are matters of public record,
and a large part is known to be
absorbed by the family and their
dependents, who number about s.
900, and are entirely apart from the
noble class, which has no Romanoff
affiliations The czar had an an
nual income Of $12.5OOO00. Be-
sides this enormous revenue he de-
rives yet another annual income
from his private estates and mines,
the latter being worked by COM
mon and political convicts.
According to the Almanach Ha-
chette, the czar enjoys an annual
income Of $42,5O0,OOO, or $87 per
minute.
All this Is in addition to the in
come from the Romanoff property
Of 88O,938,O27 acres, 32000,0OO
acres Of which are at present pro-
ductive. This yields an annual in
come of $1O,OO0,OOO. This sum goes
for the support of the grand dukes
and duchesses. who number forty
six, many Of whom draw yet other
incomes from private sources. or
from various posts occupied in the
army and navyi or in the general
administration of the bureaurocra-
cy.
The Russian autocracy has been.
therefore, not only political form
Of government, but a tremendous
paying business for the autocrat
himself and all his relations, near
and remote.

New York, March 22--Nicholas

Is believed a large part Of this will
be seized by the Russian people to
finance the war.
Nicholas Romanoffs wealth is
largely invested in foreign bonds
and stocks. His American holdings

resources are his private property.
Into the czar's private treasury, ac-
cording to the Russian law, one
third Of Russia's gold and silver
output is annually contributed.

LAST UNITS OF AMERICAN
EXPEDITION NOISULY GREETED

French Seaport July 2 Delayed)
The last units of the American ex-
peditionary forces, comprising vessels
loaded with supplies and horses, ar
rived here today amid the screeching
of whistles and moaning of sirens
Their coming, one week after the first
troops landed, was greeted almost as
warmly as the arrival of the troops
themselves, because it meant com
plete success of the undertaking.
Many of the American soldiers
crowded down to the wharf to greet
the last ships of the expedition, and
the American vessels in the harbor
which had made up previous contin-
gents of the force joined in the well
come. The late arrival of the sup
ply ships was due not only to later
departure from America, but to the
fact that the vessels were slower than
those which had come before. The
delay caused little anxiety, although
it worked temporary inconvenience to
the troops who had been waiting for
materials to work with.
The arrival OF the supplies makes
an early getaway for permanent
training camps possible for the troops
with need to wait only enough for
their horses to ''get the kinks out of
their legs" as one officer expressed
1t today. One battalion leaves today
for Paris to parade on the Fourth of
July, and leave the day following for
their permanent training camp to be
located behind the front Somewhere
in France"
The departure of these troops will
be the forerunner of general exodus

San Francisco, Cal, July g. Much

during the last week by the state
to show that Mrs. Rena Mooney on

alleged conspiracy against the gov
eminent, was ruled out today by Su-
perior Judge Emmett Seawell.
The alleged unlawful operations of
Thomas j. Mooney, husband of Mrs.
Mooney, and Warren X. Billings, ex-
tending from 1913 to within forty
days of the bomb explosion, were not
matters for the jury's consideration,
said Judge Seawell. Mooney and
Billings are under sentence of death
and life imprisonment respectively,
for one of the bomb murders.
During the last week state witnesses
testified that Billings and Mooney
had been charged with unlawful pos
session of high explosives at various
times. Testimony relating to the dy-
namiting of electric power towers

Mooney and Mrs. Mooney were alleg-
ed to have taken in attempting to in
cite a street car strike here in June,
1916, was admitted by Judge Seawell,
who held that it had been offered on
the theory that the Mooney, through
the strike, were attempting to bring
on a revolution.
Copies of The Blast, an alleged an
archistic publication, and letters ad-
dressed to and written by Thomas J..
Mooney, also were admitted in evi-
dence, Judge Seawell declaring they
were offered to show the existence of
