Newlaod'filackbnrn Discussion.
Landmark.
Tbe Democrats who heard
the discussion at Tnylorsville
Saturday are well satisfied
with Mr. ;Newland'a effort.
-They say he handled Black
burn well, and had the best
.of it." The Republicans also
. profess to be., satisfied. ; A
prominent member of the
. party, however, expressed
-the opinion that neither ot
tbo candidates covered them
nelves with glory, which h e-
quivalent to saying that he
didn't thinj? much of Black-
- burn's performance and of
. f ourse couldn't be expected
to praise the other man.
- Other Republicans said New
land surprised them. Tbey
, expected to find awcnk man
and , were.; evidently disap
pointed. The appointment was Black
burn's. He invited Newland
.to meet him and then didn't
. treat hi guest. fair in a divis
- Ion of time He had also put
out the word to the revenue
officers and postmasters in
all the regions round about
and they were there in great
... numbers to cheer him, It is
doubtful if Blackburn export
. id Newland to go to the ap
pointment, but the latter is
anxious for a joint discussion
. and responded promptly. He
wante to continue the joint
discusion now but Blackburn
will not agree to further join t
discussion until after Oct. 1.
He wants to pick both the
time and place of the discu
eion, and it is evident that he
wants to do everything pos
sible to avoid a joint cam
paign while pretendiug that
ha wants one. ';..
There is little to be gained
however, in a joint discus
wen with Blackburn. He can
not or at least does not on
gogein an intelligent discus
sion of the issues. He makes
a ra m b 1 i n g, disconnected
speech, full of all sorts of reck
less assertions, without any
argument or any appeal to
leason. About tbe only ad
vantage a Democrat can
have in tjeing with him is to
check his reckless assertions.
Tbo outlook for the Demo
crats jn the district is very
, encouraging and with proper
. itwiiv. vucin in nine ii anv
..doubt of Mr Newland'a elec
tion. ' '''.
Constancy is a mnch ioiita
ted jewel. '
The total amount of prop
erty "that was listed for tax
esin W'dtnugacoantyinl903
was f 1,743.222, and for the
year 1904 $l,7524ip,;show.
ing an increase of only $9,
188 in the county. The total
tax for.l903 was $15,435 -48,
rind for the year 1904, ail
specia 1 1 n xes incl uded ,' is oh
ly $17,351.58. Last year our
taxes stood at the constitu
tional limit, G6 rents on the
hundred dollar valuation and
the poll as a consequence was
$2. This year our tax is on
ly incrpaaed for all purposes,
the new court house included,
8J rents on the hundred nud
25 cents on the poll. Now, in
our.opiuion. if all the proper
ty in the county waslistedat
its value, we would huve, all
the cash needed to pay off
our court house bonds from
year to year, but such is not
the case, hence the necessity
for a special tax. For the ben
eflt of those who have been,
are still, so grieved because
we art to bnye adpeentcourt
house, we would, say that
the building can be paid for
without raising tbe tax one
cent above what it isWbis
year. Let every dollar beati-,
Its proportionate part of tax
es, and natnugu win soon

and steel bridges, so much
needed in some parts of the
county, will be built and the
cry of high taxes will be
heard, no. more in. the land,
