Our Sentiments.

The following paragraph from the
Chattanooga Gazette expresses our
sentiments relative to an important
matter:
"We notice that q movement has
been made in our Legislature to dis.
pense with the advertising of Lands
by Sheriffs in the newspapers. The
law as it now stands, restricts the
printing fee rs or 80 per cent. less
than the rates for other advertising,
and we hoped if the law was discuss.
ed at all in the Legislature, that the
restriction would be taken off, and
the printers allowed to charge their
regular rates. But it seems that a
portion of the members Of that body
think that advertising is useless, and
the contemplate fee allowed is onor-
Gus on the people What folIyl
What lttlencss Of soul is here mani
tested The PREss in Tennessee is
more sighted, worse treated by the
Legislature than in any other State in
the southwest; and it does more to
aid incompetent men--mere asses
in securing their election. 1t is sell
dom that a man of enlarged views,
and liberal mind is found medding
with such small affairs, or if they
devote any time to such things, it is
only to throw their weight against
them. But let them repeal the law
for advertising lands-printers can
live without such government mites
but those engaged in Withholding
them should be spotted.

Rcjerted.

We sec from the Legislative reports
in the Nashville papers, that the bill
to repeal the law requiring notices o.
land sales 10 be advertised, has been
rejected.
This is what we expected; aye, we
did expect little better. We thought
that honorable body would pass law
requiring u deal more of advertising
than is now done, and that they
would not restrict publishers in their
charges--saying that they must charge
so much and no more.
But who was the member that in.
troduced the bill we have noticed as
being rejected? We might find out
by referring to the records, and we
believe we will. We would like for
him to pass through number of our
counties, and read some of the notices
stuck up on the court house doors,
and at public by-ways, and tell u.s.
upon his honor as u gentleman, whcth.
er or not he would have his name at.

Plain Truth.--Some one who under.

Of "young gentlemen and ladies" of the

only to mental weakness and fashiona.

"a young gentlcman-a smooth faced

tobacco. swears gsnteely, coaxes embroy

this is the fashionable education of ths
day. The fathers and mothers Of these
fools were once poor. Good fortune hal

Ideas of Woman.

A recent work, published at Brus-
sells, contains among other interesting
matter, a collection of aphorisms by
various authors, mostly French, of
which we append a few. We give
the names of the authors in italics:
Chamyort.--ln the choice of a lover
a womna considers more how he ap-
pears in the eyes of other women than
in her own. Love is more pleasing
than matrimony, just as romance is
more pleasing than history.
Bonguert-lf we speak i'll of the
sex generally, they will all rise against
US; if we do the same of any indi-
vidual woman, they will agree with
us.
Charles Lemeslc. - Most Of their
faults women owe to us, whilst we
are indebted to them for most Of our
better qualities.
Daniel !Nterne.-Most women are
endowed with such naturally endear-
ing charms, that even their very pre-
sence is generally beneficial.
lMadame de Siacl.-Loyc, in q Wo-
mans life, is a history in a mans.
an episode.
Catnlina.-Only he who has moth
ing to hope from q woman is truly
sincere in her praise.
Diderot.-Therc exists among wo-
men secret tie, like that among
priests Of the same faith. They hate
each other. yet protect each others
interest.
S'ahl.-No woman, even the most
intellectual, believes herself decidedly
homely. This self-deception is nat
ural, for there are some most charm
lug women without a particle of
beauty.
Octoue FemlliU.-Providencc has so
ordained it, that only two women
have true interest in the happiness
of man--his own mother and the
mother of his children. Besides these
two legitimate kinds of love, there is
nothing between the two creatures
except vain excitement, painful and
idle delusion.
Alphonse Karc.--Say of a woman
that she is wicked, obstinate, frivolous,
but add that she is beautiful, and be
assured that she will ever think kind
ly of you. Say that she is good, kind,
virtuous, sensible, but very homely,
and she will never forgive you in her
life.
Madame dc Maintenon.-In every
thing that women write there will be
thousands of faults against grammer,
but also to certainty always charm
never to be found in the letters of
men.
Duclos.-Great and rare heart Of
ferings are found almost exclusively
among women nearly all the hap
piness and most blessed moments in
love are of their creating, and so also
in friendship, especially when it fol-
lows love.
Madapk Fee.--A woman frequent
ly resists the love she tells, but cannot
resist the love she inspires.
J. J. Rousseau.--Men can better
philosophize on the human heart, but
| ,rar,o,, m, rood ~ haitian
Michelet.-It is universal rule,
which. as far as know, has no ex-
ception, that great men always re-
semble their mothers, who impress
their mental and physical mark upon
their sons.
Home Journal.-Women wear theil
hoops SO large nowadays that we are
unable to get close enough to them tt
| form an idea. Fact!

The University of the South.

A card appears in the Winches ter.
Home Journal, signed by about 400
citizens Of Franklin county, in whi ch
the charges in reference to milk sick
ness in the region Of Sewanee, is de-
MED. They assert that there has new
er been case of milk, sickness in the
neighborhood Of the place where the
university is to be located, and only
one case has occurred in all that coun-
try, for 20 years. They assert "on
their honors," that there is not in their
opinion place on the globe where
there is moro safety from disease of
any kind, than Rowc's Spring, the
place chosen for the location Of the
institution.
We find the above short paragraph
going the rounds Of the newspaper
press, and believing that it ought to
be read by everybody, we feel glad Of
it. We hope every paper in the whole
Union will cony it, in order that all
may see how our people regard the
location OF the University, and how
they regard the charges OF miIk-sicli
ness made against it BY set Of pref
udiccd persons who arc totally igno-
rant Of the advantages possessed at
Scwanee.
The people Of Franklin county did
mectin convention and publicly ex-
presses themselves as stated in the
paragraph above.
They felt that reports, or rather lies
had been manufactured and circula-
ted throughout the country to their
dctriment, and it behooved them, for
the cause of truth, to publicly speak
in favor of a location, with which they
were all acquainted, and in opposition
to report which they knew to be as
false as it was mean and ungenerous
in others to circulate it. And we sim
cerely believe that there is not a sim
gle citizcn--at least respectable one
lin Franklin county who could not
with a pure conscience and upright
head, lay his hand upon his heart and
avow his conviction that a better spot
or a more safe one from disease ofany
kind, cannot be found in the broad ex.
tent of our Union than Sewanee.
But the truth will become known
and have its salutary effect after the
contemplate falsehoods that have been
uttered concerning Sewanee have ex-
ploded and revealed the littleness OF
soul that characterized the men who
uttered them. We have the most su-
preme contempt of that man, or those
persons who would attempt to injure
the good prospects of an institution
merely through motives of envy and
selC.interest. But as we have before
said, small and debased must be the
heart of the man who can raise the
cry of milk-sick, sterility &C., when
he knows he raises a cry of falsehood

War with England,

We find the following condensed report
OF the remarks of Gov Hammond. We
are very much pleased with the spirit they
breathe. There is no calamity that could
pcfall the country more disastrous in its
consequences than war with England. 1t
would come with stunning effect upon the
interests OF the South. Directly and inn
mediately it would reduce the price of our
cotton, and injurc every interest but that
OF the manufacturers it would impoverish
the Southern planter, and enrich the Nor
thern manufacturer. Thus the consoquen-
ces would be an enormous national debt
heavy increase in the navy and army ex-
pondtures, most of which would continue
after the war as preparations for future
emergencies. Then the manufacturing in
tcrests that had sprung up during the war
would be clamorous for protection, MS thew
were at the close of the war of 1912. The
great system of protection, that has ever
since been an incumbus upon the agricul-
tural interests of the country, grew out of
that war.
MIR. Boycc In his report stated that the
total amount ofindircet tax (which the con-
sumers OF the country have had to pay for
the luxury of perssting in an industrial
blunder amounts toS1 900, 100000" This
costly "blunder" was the offspring of the
war OF 1872. Upwards of forty years ago
1T terminated, nor have we yet succeeded
III lberating ourselves of the evils that grew
out of it, Another war would probably
saddle us with burdens that we would not
get rid of for at least half a century -
There Is no step the States Rights men of
the country should view with more dclibe-
ration than that of WARRIOR war of ncccss
1ty consolidates the Federal Government.
we have already seen, even with thc-mere
prospect, disposition to increase the pow
er OF the Executive, and to greatly increase
our naval strength. The following is the
epitome OF Gov. Hammond's remarks:
Mr. Hammond disagreed with the Sen
ator from Georgia. He was not willing to
be smuggled into war by an amendment
to an amendment. If the British acts are
belligerent. let us throw with ali due sol
emnity the bloody spear. If we must have
war, let us declare war after diguifed CON
slderation. War with England would be
the most momentous event that has happen
ed In the past three centuries, perhaps in
all the past. Perhaps hostilitics with Eng
land are sooner or later inevitable, and when
1t comes he believes England will be rush
ing on her fate. Let us avail ourselves of
the chance afforded by these resolutions to
decide, until it be forced on us, an event
which, whenever it comes, will change the
face of human affairs"
