Normal Schools,

We at last have school law so
shaped that good will result. if the
system is engineered correctly. One
of the difficulties in the way is a
want of experienced, earnest teach
ers. This want cannot be supplied
Immediately under the most favor
able circumstances. Nothing short
Of one or two thoroughly organized
Normal Schools can give US trained
teachers. In our present financial
strait, it is impossible for our Legis-
lature to establish suclue schools.
But, as before intimated in your
paper, there is q hope that the mon
ey appropriated from the Peabody
Fund will be used for this purpose.
After a careful survey of the whole
field, I am satisfied that the money
used in Tennessee from that noble
benefaction, can be appropriated in
no other way, which will be so bene-
fetal to the whole people. In some
localities the money appropriated to
Peabody schools has done great
good; in other places it has benefit
ted the teachers alone. If the ag-
gregate could be concentrated in two
Normal Schools, the good effects
would be felt in every county, and
soon in almost every school district.
Will not those in Tennessee, inter-
ested in the cause of general educa-.
ton, who have the control of the
distribution of money from the Pea
body Fund. give this feature of the
subject careful Consideration?

East tennessee Farmers Convention.


The RuraJ Sun says: "We see
from the Knoxville Chronicle that
the wide awake farmers of East Ten
nessee will hold Farmers Conven-
ton in the city of Knoxville, on the
9th of May. A similar Convention
was held about the same time last
year. It was complete success in
every particular. From the man
ner in which the friends are taking
hold Of the matter, there is every
reason to believe that the present
Convention Will be largely attended.
and that the interest will be more
intense than last season.
eve are gratifed to chronicle this
marked evidence of the growing
condition of the agricultural interest
IN that delightful section of Ten
nessee. There seems to be more
life there than in any portion of the
State.
These conventions are exceeding
ly valuable, and ought to be more
generally encouraged. We see no
reason why there should not be a
State Convention. We merely make
the suggestion, hoping that our read
ers will consider the matter and give
rs their views. One thing is certain
ly obvious-we must 60 forward in
the grand work Of agricultural re-
form.
East Tennessee has set the re-
mainder of the State worthy ex-
ample with regard to this vital ques-
ton Without stopping to confer
with flesh and blood she has grasped
the undertaking with vigor, and has
shown that She was master of the
situation. That she will reap the
advantages Of this course-will adj
vance in material growth and pros
perity and become fruitful and pros
porous in all her industrial enter
prises, no one can doubt. Indeed,
we have reliable information from
that section Of the State that already
q wonderful impetus has been given
to all the departments of agrical-
ture, and that more elevated and
views are being acquired.
A much better system of farming is
being inaugurated, a higher apprecia.
ton Of improved stock realized, and
a holder purpose conceived to go
forward in building up that section"

A man may be regular attendant

the requirements of the law, yet if
he fail to support his local paper he
falls short of very essential duty
and is in danger of the Judgment.
Some people think that farming
cannot be made profitable in East
Tennessee. We have heard of one
family in the fertile Mouse Creek
Valley that has PANIED out $27, 900
at the business since the war.
A joint Committee on Bribery has
been raised in the Tennessee Legis-
lature, with power to send for per-
sons and papers. In view of the
recent experience in the business at
Washington, the job might very ap-
propriately have been RENTED.
Attention is directed to the adver-
tisement of the Kentucky Library
Lottery. 1t is solvent enterprise,
and promptly pays all the prizes
down in the schedule. A citizen of
this place drew seven hundred and
fifty dollars. Mind, we don't advise
any one to invest. But we would
rather spend FIVE or ten dollars in
that way than to spend it for whis-
ky-and we have tried them both
occasionally.

The Presidents inaugural.

Gen. Grant was inaugarated Pres
ident of the United States, at the
Capitol, on the 4th instant, with
great pomp and ceremony. His adj
dress upon the occasion was point
ed and promising one. He ap-
pears to be frank and candid in his
desires to see our country fully re-
stored to peace and prosperity, and
we trust that his views will be car
ried out; particularly in regard to
civil service reform. This is one
measure which the country's pros
perity demands, and until it is COM
pletely and fully enforced, we can
have no prosperity. Dishonest and
corrupt officials will ruin any coun-
try on earth. We wish President
Grant success in any effort he may
make, to rid the land of official cor
ruption and fraud.

requiring voters to pay poll tax at

TO be enlisted for taxation at least

The Danger Of Radical Ideas.

a government without restraint
is simply a despotism. To this the
present Government of the United
States is swiftly tending. One of
the prominent evidences of this fact
may be found in the reckless appro-
priations; the corruptions in Con
gress, growing out Of them; the
general Generalization and corrup-
ton SO apparent. All this comes
from a departure from the Constitu-
tion. Loose legislation, unauthoriz-
ed acts by Congress; money wrong
fully taken from the Treasury for
objects not authorized or justified by
the Constitution. beget corrupt prac-
tees and demoralize public officers.
This loose and corrupt legislation
also comes from tho idea of "a
strong central government" outside
of the Constitution leading to tyran-
nical acts over States and the people.

Prof, I'm r,e,,ing sheer.

At a recent meeting of the farmers
club, in Batavia, Genesee county, New
York, Mr. George Burt presented the
following definite statistics relative to
the cost and profit of feeding sheep for
market. He paid for 200 sheep for
fattening, 1915; for keeping two
months, $64 eight tons of hay, at $40
per ton, 1928; four loads of corn stalks,
SIG; 14S bushels of corn, 60 cents per
bushel, $SS 80; one barrel of salt, SO !;
interest on money invested, $50, rs:
total, 81, 225 IS. January 4th he sold
III sheep at cents per pound, $,522,-
40; % at 81 cents per pound; $171, 10;
one pelt ii 30; total, 81, 706 50 profit
on the 200 sheep, $47S A. Mr.. Burt
holds that sheep in winter should be
kept in small fiocks, less rather than
more than 65 in a flock, in'yards where
they can have free access at all times
to water; and they should be kept free
from all disturbing or exciting causes /;
thst open sheds ale better for them
than a close barn, and that it is best to
feed grain to them whole.
