PHOIIIBTIOX IX TENNESSEE.
Stute Wide Law Has Not Impnired
The Credit of That State.
To the Editor of The Daily Item:
The inclosed article from a Ten?
nessee paper of March 16th seems to
throw some light on the prohibition
problem from the tax-payers stand?
point. So many of our wise political
economists say taxes will be increas?
ed If the dispensary revenue is lost,
that an article like the above is re?
freshing. How any one con figure a
profit out of a business that puts
hors de combat its chief patrons. and\
makes them burdens on society, is
more than I can understand. They
tell wonderful tales about the profits,
but do not say a word about the hun?
dred thousand and more hard earned
dollars that are annually sent out of
the county and State for whiskey.
But they never fail to harp on the
many dollars that they say will be
sent out for the jug trade, if we vote
out the dispensary. There can be no
question to any fair-minded man that
there will be less whiskey bought and
used under prohibition than under
the dispensary. To deny this is to
deny that the laws of trude are ap?
plicable to whiskey. Prohibitionists
do not expect nor hope to reform
men wholesale, nor to bring about
the mlllenlum by statutory enact?
ment; but we do contend that there
will be less money spent for liquor,
less men and women pauperized, and
made charges on the community;
that some men now unfit for produc?
tive labor will become producers of
wealth, and that all these things will
make us as a county richer in every
way than the few thousands of reve?
nue from the traffic. All this aside
from the moral and religious side of
the question.
On this part of the subject, I think
if the good woman who wrote the
very thoughtful article in your issue
of the 22nd Is true to the latter part
of her article she would vote, If she
could, and will use all her influence
against this business which bras
caused more sorrow and .crime, pau?
perism, imbecility and degeneracy i
than any other business that the!
world has ever known.

State's Credit la Still Gilt Edge.
Nashville, March 12.?The credit
of Tennessee has not been in any i
way impaired by the passage of the I
State-wide prohibition law was made
manifest yesterday when the funding
board purchased $62,000 of the
State's bonds at one cent on the dol?
lar more than has heretofore been
paid for them. The board has been
in the market for these for several
months but the prices asked were
considered too high, the lowest offer?
ed being at 97. The board had not
paid such a figure and naturally hes?
itated. Finally seeing that a better
price must be paid than has been
paid in the past the members decid?
ed to offer 96 3-4 and at that price
purchased the bonds. But that is one
cent on the dollar higher than the
last were purchased for. It shows
that Tennessee's credit is getting bet?
ter all the time and those who are
fortunate enough to hold the securi?
ties of the State are not going to part
with them unless they can obtain a
fine price therefor. Three per cent.
State bonds at 97 cents Is high water
mark for the securities of this and
coming just after the passage of the
State-wide prohibition bill is consid?
ered very significant.

THE FLOHEVCE POSTOFFICE.
Her, Joshua relieves He Will Rc
mmim hi Ofllce Another Year.
Washington, March 30.?Joshua
Wilson, Florence's colored postmas
j ter, came to Washington last week to
j find out what was going on, sniffed ?
I the air once or twice around the
I White House, :'ound that apparently
I he was good fc r another year in the
I office ancl quietly slipped back home.
Wilson's arriva in Washington was
not heralded, and it was only by
chance that a discovery of his pres?
ence was made. He found that the
I way things stand, with no agreement
as to his succe-sor and with the out?
look good for a fight in the senate
over that successor's confirmation, he
thought the best thing he could do
was to go hone and let things rock
along.
Indications strongly point to his re?
taining the offke for several months
unless some agreement can be reach?
ed and no flgh : made in the senate.
Wilson, after remaining here a day
or two and talcing in the situation,
vvent home, saying that everything
looked good to him and that as he
appeared to be on top he would re?
main so by sta;. ing out of the fight.
Howard CajHPfll, who is trying to
land the efflce, has filed with the1
president and v. ith the postofllos de?
partment papers showing that he has
been a citizen of Florence for the
last five years, that he is the owner
of considerable real estate in sur?
rounding count es, and that better
than all, he is engaged to one of the
bast young lad! M In Florence Coun?
ty. It is baltevi 1 these recommenda?
tions are sufficient to eventually pull
him through, but if he is named and
his confirmation is fought. Wilson
will for the time being be the victor
and that is all he is now wanting.

ordinary seems impossible.? Cardinal

DAXOER OF IflGHEll COFFEE.
Senate Finance Committee Bent otr
Defeating Alleged "Iiitere?ts."
.Washington, March 30.?Recogniz
w
ing that Brazil is powerless to aus?
pend her export tax on coffee, be?
cause for the next several years, at
least this tax is indissolubry linked?
with her foreign debt, the senate
committee on finance today decided!
to strike out of the Payne bill the*
countervailing duty proposed. Mem?
bers of the committee said today that;
if the' Payne provision is adopted, in
effect, it will place a duty on coffee*
imported from Brazil equal to tbm
export tax nssessed by that country*
and that the consumer would be
compelled to <pay the difference iu
cost.
Incidentally the the senate com?
mittee is seeking information about
the alleged American syndicate cred?
ited with having four million bass or
coffee in storage t<? he held for Bj c_m?
in price, which, it is believed, wo^rirtf
Inevitably follow the passage at *ber
Payne bill in L? piesent feror. A

A member of the committee asserted
that the committee is in the wsy of
procuring full'information as to th?
personnei of the syndicate, and un?
claimed that the movement ie ksHifjr
