ImfTiisiiment for Debt Again
in this State.
ATT'Y GEN'S i??OJ$ION
ilia Decided that Every Piano and Organ
Mtsmgn Must have a License Fall
are to Pay Taxes Renders Liable
to Imprisonment.
Two very important decisions
mete rendered today by the
Attorney general. The first was in
irelatiou to section 26 of the revenue
owst, which provldos "Every person,
company or manufacturer, who shall
engage in the business of selling
pianos or organs by sample, list or
otherwise, in this state shall, before
celling or offering for sale any such
instrument, pay to the state treas
urer a tax of ten dollars on each
brand and obtain a license, which
shall operate one year from its date."
It is the opinion of the attorney
general that each salesman must
have a license with him in order that
lie shall have protection from indict
ment. The second opinion was in reply
to a letter from Col V S Lusk, in
which be writes: "My attention has
been recently called to sections 52
and 53 -of the Revenue Act of 1897
and the question asked, 'Does the
law apply to property and poll taxes
mentioned in schedule 'A?' " He
desired to know whether it was ap
plicable only to the collection of
license taxes mentioned in said
'schedule, or whether it referred to
all the taxes in section -'A. "
Section 52 requires the sheriff of
each county to report to the Judge
at each term of the criminal court
following the time when the license
tax and taxes provided for in
schedules A B and C of the act
should have been paid and make out
a delinquent list. This list shall
then be .submitted to the solicitor
that they may be prosecuted as pro
vided for in section 53.
Section 53 provides that such per
sons or corporations who are liable
to pay the license tax or taxes pro
vided for in schedules A B and C
and shall fail to pay the same as
provided by law shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and punished by a
fine not exceeding five hundred dol
lars or imprisoned not exceeding
six months.
The Attorney General says: "It is
my opinion that Sees. 53 and 52 of
the Revenue Act apply to all taxes
alike. At first I thought the pro
Visions unconstitutional as being in
contravention of the provision of the
constitution of the State which pro
vides that there shall be no impris
onment in this State for debt, but
after some consideration I have con
cluded that they are valid."
According to this decision it will
appear that a man can be imprisoned
for failure to pay his poll or property
tax.
A Gamin's Wit.
Two little boot blacks were seated
upon the curbing on Martin street
today as a drummer passed one
of the boys said : "1 can tell by the
way a man carries his satchel wheth
er he is coming to town or going
away." "How is that?" asked the
drummer. "Because when he is
coming he carries it that way and
when he is leaving he carries it in
that direction, " the gamin pointing
first east towards Fayetteville street
and then west towards the depot.
The drummer was caught so he gave
him a nickel and passed on laughing

FAIR AND WARMER
Predicted by the Weather Bureau for
Tomorrow.
The weather bureau predicts
showers today followed by fair
weather Tuesday and warmer.
The weather is generally cloudy
over the entire coutry , exceptFlorida
and Texas. The high area and "cool
wave" are central from the east
lake region to the middle Atlantic
"oast.
In the w'C' moderate storm is
now central over 5?utb Dakota,
which is causing southerly wiusin
the Ohio valley and westward and a
considerable rise in temperature.
Scattered showers have occurred,
chiefly in the west and on the At
lantic coast. The largest amount
was 0.94 inch at St Paul.
A Kate War Imminent.
The first serious disturbance of
railroad rates since agreements to
maintain them were declared illegal
by "the supreme court has resulted
from the division of summer travel
to the Tennessee Centennial.
Much southern busines which has
usually gone to Niagara, Thousand
Islands and other eastern resorts,
by way of Cincinnati has been di
verted to lines passing through
Nashville and giving stopovers for
the Tennessee Centennial.
Tbe Tenuessee Centennial added
to the usual attractions of tbe east
ern resorts, has proved a powerful
combination to draw business,
especially on rate basis of a cent a
mile
The result is that the resort busi
ness of the Queen and Crescent line
through Cincinnati has been seri
ously impaired, and after numerous
protests and other evidences of dis
satisfaction, Mr W C Rinearson,
general passenger agent of that line,
has made a cut xf $3 40 between
Chattanooga and Cincinnati in order
to regain the business which has
been directed to the lines going
through Nashville.
The Atlanta Journal gives further
particulars as follows
This was resented
Turk, general passenger agent of
the Southern railway, who threaten
ed to meet the cut on tickets to the
east via Nashville, This would be
hard move for Mr Rinearson to
meet, but it would have necessi
tated a reduction of all passenger
rates from the south as far as Pen-
sacola to the east.
This would have been a hardship
on other lines friendly to the south
ern and Mr Finley, the vice presi
dent of the Southern iu charge of
traffic, called a halt. The matter is
unsettled, however, and the differ
ences between the Queen and Cre
sent and the lines working through
Nashville are under consideration
by a meeting of the Southern Pas
senger association, which is in ses
sion at Nashville today. Chairman
Richardson, of the conference com
mittee and most of the general pas
senger agents are there. Mr Rine
arson, ot the Queen and Cresent, is
not a member of the as iociation, but
it is understood that he would meet
with them and try tt reach a better
understanding.
The roads of the association think
the Tennessee Centennial an enter
prise which they are bound to sus
tain, not only by rates, but by every
reasonable effort to increase its at
tendance. Mr. Rineason admits this, but says
they ought not to use the exposition
as a leverage against him on eastern
business by giving stopovers at
Nashville on through tickets to the
east.
Considerable feeling has arisen
from this conflict of interests, and
not long ago Mr. Rinearson, after
discussing the question warmly
at a meeting of the passenger
agents, rather abruptly left them.
It was soon afterwards that he an
nounced the cut reducing the rate
on return tickets between Chat
tanooga rnd Ciucinnati from $10.65
to $7.25 on through tickets. Return
tickets are sold from Chattanooga to
Niagara Falls for $14.25 or $7 from
Cincinnati. The return limit from
Chattanooga is seven days, tbe same
that is given on the tickets to the
Tennessee Centennial.
It the matter should fail of adjust
ment at the Nashville meeting and
the retaliatory cut should be made
by the Southern railway, a general
passenger rate war would be almost
inevitable.
The trustees for the institutions
for the deaf and dumb and the blind
will meet tonint. A carpenter, a
foreman of the shops and two ma'
trons will be elected. There are
about ten candidates forevery place.
