awful jolt last week. To dispose Of
unfounded reports that permits were
being issued for home manufacture Of
wine and beer, II issued a statement in
which the following things were de-
clared Illegal:

A former member of the Legisla-
ture-yes, two of EN- and they both
live in Lexington-says that no Ian
guage can too strongly condemn the
grab of $4,000 each by the members
of the present General Asembly-and
what pity it is that the first woman
State Senator we ever had MRS. Wor-
ley, of East Tennessee) had no higher
conception of duty and respect for
the constitution that vote for the
grab. The same legislators not long
ago took great credit to themselves
for cutting out junketing committees
which might have cost the State some
$4,000 or $4,000 and then in def
ance of all law and all sense of COM
mon honesty voted themselves "bo-
nus" of $450.00 which would total
about 100000.
We are proud to state that our
Representative, Hon Jno. S. Fielder,
voted against the grab, but with real
regret we record the fact that Sem
ator Tillman voted for it. Each and
every member of the Legislature who
voted for the grab ought to be for
ever barred from holding office in
Tennessee and if the matter is put up
to Governor Taylor in the general APP
preparation bill he ought to veto it il

"A VERY POOR APOLOGY.

Excuses for the employment Of
revenue agents and back tax attor-
neys to graft upon the people seem to
have narrowed down to the plea that
If county officials collect delinquent
taxes they can't be reelected. Now,
what do you think about that? Is it
the purpose Of our laws to smooth the
pathway of officials who are salts
fled with their jobs to reelection? 1t
would seem so. Yet how many intel
ligent persons believe that the peo-
pie will not tolerate an official who
does what the law requires of him?
Older men can remember when the
trustee collected the taxes. And usu-
ally he wasn't very long about it.
When the time allotted for voluntary
payment elapsed, he sent the sheriff
and constables after what was left
outstanding, and they weren't long
about bringing it in. Still it wasn't
an unusual thing in those days for
trustee to be reelected. Those who
paid taxes willingly wanted others
made to pay, and those who had to
be made to pay were not regarded as
a powerful political force in the COM
munity.
The law, however, need not concern
itself on this point. 1t provides that
certain county officials collect reve-
nues. When candidate offers for
one of these places, the presumption
is that he knows its duties and will
discharge them. He should, in fact,
made to do so or be cast out of office.
Creation of two agencies to perform
the same duties, and allowing pre-
QUESTIONS to both, is nothing less than
invitation to grating without itself.
And the sequel proves that hint to
the wise political machinist has been
amply sufficient-O hattanooga

course would naturally be the conse-
auense unless conditions quickly
change and as to this we have abso-
lutely no assurance at the present
time. Last year the farmers were en-
couraged by the claims that the world
was facing a cotton famine, to buy
high priced fertilizers and try to pro-
duce a big cotton crop in the hope for
once in life they might realize some
thing for their efforts and toll. But
alas, he was only chasing a will O. the
wisp that soon led US to disappoint-
ment and financial ruin. Then in or
der to sound the eternal doom and

fair the ginners without remorse of
conscience skinned us alive with the
highest prices ever charged for gin
ming in this country since the days of
the Civil war, and some of us who
have had ten times more experience
in handling labor and machinery than
probably any ginner in the county
knows what it cost to gin a bale of
cotton, and it is worse than an out
rage that the farmer through a sys-
tenn of combinations and agreements
is forced to bear the entire burden
and to sustain all loss.
And now here we are with an entire
crop of cotton on our hands with no
market for it and cotton goods SELL

THE FERTILIZER QUESTION.

To the Editcr-We notice a number
of papers scattered throughout the
country that are supposed to be pub

seem to be over insistent that we con-

Now, we do not know whether these
papers own any stock in fertilizer or
not but to take the argument put up
by the Progressive Farmer as basis
it would appear that it was vitality
interested in the sale of fertilizer, and
it is worse than ridiculous for any,
body TO contend that we ought to 60
