THE UNIVERSITY CLAIM

A telegram was yesterday received by
DR.. Humes, President of our East Tennes-
see University, from Senator Brownlow,
stating that the University claim had just
passed the Senate unanimously. The Bill
viii now go to the House, where Hon.
Horace Maynard will see that 1t receives
due attention. This claim passed the
Senate last session, but failed to reach the
House in time for consideration before adj
journment. Senator Brownlow has watch
ed the claim from the beginning of the
session, and to his influence and vigilance
is due the fact that it passed unanimously.
We know personally of the merits of
this claim, for we We're here in the
army at the time the damages were
committed, We trust, therefore, that the
House will give it the same consideration
and favorable action the Senate has Just
done. We know the reluctance with
which members pass special bills for re-
lief, but we know too that this case, lik e
many other claims pending from East
Tennessee, is just and ought to be paid.
The University here needs this aid. The
amount, if allowed, will go directly to-
wards the cause of education, towards in
directly paying this people for the great
hardships endured during the war. They
felt the strong arm of military power and
gave up without complaint their homes,

WE hear encouraging news from almost
every county concerning the crop pros
poets for the coming summer. The wheat,
oats, corn and fruit are all promising. Our
farmers begin more and more to realize
that upon them rests the prosperity and
growth of our section. They have it in
their power by proper effort to build us
up as section upon an enduring founda-
ton. If they will cultivate their acres
thoroughly, enrich their worn out lands,
clear their fields from stumps and under
growth, use every department of agricul
tural industry to the best advantage, we will
increase in wealth, otherwise, we will fall
back into the old ruts. a careless, slovenly
way of farming will pull down Il country
more surely and quickly than anything else.
Our farmers would do better to farm thor
oughly one hundred acres of land than to
cultivate indifferently two hundred acres,
The present season is a promising one and
we hope will be the beginning of new
era i'll the history of East Tennessee farm
ers. Let us not again find ourselves so
thoroughly drained of farm products as
we are now. Let our fruit crop, our stock,
our meadows, our dairy and our granaries
all contribute to swell our annual products.
We have relied on few leading articles
Of farm products long enough. Let lis
now use every resource our natural advan-
taVes afford.
