UNDER the laws of this State no prop
erty of any description is exempt from
execution for taxes. The poor mans
bed may be sold from under him, or the
last pound of bacon in his smoke-house
may be taken from a hungry family.
Theoretically, the large property-holder
is also liable to be sold out, but some
how people will not bid at such sales
when made or the law is defective, for we
seldom or never hear of any one being
dispossessed of real estate for taxes.
An ejectment from the premises Hnder
State tax title, we venture to say, is
unknown in the history Of the State. A
correspondent Of the Union and Ameri-
can proposes as method to meet the
difficulty, that the land be leased, after
being advertised for thirty days, to the
parties who will take it Cor the shortest
term of years, and pay tie taxes due
thereon. This is Objectionable in several
respects, but the subject will bear dis
cussion, and one suggestion often brings
out another and better one. What
ever is done on the subject should be
done las soon as practicable, that the
people may know what to expect.

The distribution of Rabbits soap
progresses successfully. We are re-
quested to warn dealers and consumers
against an inundation of limitations.
Wherever Rabbits soap has been intro
duced by gratuitous distribution scores
Of limitations have invariably followed
in its wake. These are put up in red
papers and cushion shaped cakes to re-
semble the genuine as closely as posi-
bic. They are always Of greatly inferior
quality and sold at under prices. Many
people buy them, deceived by red wrap
pers into thinking they have the real
Babbitt soap. A word to the wise is
sufficient. Be clean and you'll be hap
py. To be clean and happy use only

A dozen such years as we have had with
out schools insures a grown up generation
of ignorant citizens who have neither
knowledge nor any desire for it. These
figures may seem dry and uninteresting,
but they tell fearful tale of ignorance
and superstition, which is invariably at
tended by corresponding degree OF
crime and degradation. Thus far we
have alluded mostly to adults who can
not now be educated. They are, many
of them, married and raising up large
families of children who will grow up as
uncultivated and narrow minded as their
parents, unless there is speedy interpo-
sition by the State in their behalf But
there is hope for the children; they may
be moulded into virtuous, intelligent
citizens. OF the 1873, s55 illiterate minors
in the State, 3S,S7S are whites, and 81
632 colored between the ages Of ten
and fifteen years; total, 7O,5l0; while
1851 are whites and 1874 colored
between the ages of fifteen and twenty
one years; total, 6s,4i5. Other Stats
tics might be added, but these are enough
to show that an alarming state of ig-
norance exists. An untutored genera
ion has grown up since the war began,
aud will soon be succeeded by another,
while our public instructors and law
makers hesitate how to act, and the few
who are able to educate their children at
private schools look on with Indifference,
glad no doubt that they are not taxed
two mills on the dollar to support public
schools six months in the year. The
more affluent citizen who objects to such
a system forgets that the security of his
property and the safety of his house
hold depends upon the virtue and in
telligence Of the poorest people around
him; and how can they be elevated
so rapidly and surely as by the
free and liberal education of their nu-
merous children2 Nothing except relig-
ious views so effectually dissipate the
prejudices of the poor against the rich
as the diffusion of knowledge. which
teaches the different members of society
their relationship to each other and to
the body polite. The records of all
States and countries goes to prove that
illiteracy and crime are twin sisters that
go hand in hand. II Tennessee waits TO

establish public school system, it will
never be done, at least not in the nine.
teenth century. We must make some
sacrifice for so important a cause, and
that at once, or we sink still deeper in
the mire of ignorance, crime and de-
graduation. A good school system in
operation would bring sufficient capital
aud productive skill and labor TO our
State to pay for the investment in fer
years. But so long as Tennessee is the

ILLIrrRAcY IN TENNESSEE.

The census Of 1910 furnished only the
number OF white persons over twenty
years Of age unable to read and write,
making no further distinction. The
census of 1850 and 1850 were an i'm
movement in that the nativity, race and
sex of the free illiterate over twenty
wears of age were reported, but no sta
tisties appeared concerning the minor
ponulation. But the census of 1870
shows its superiority in this respect as
set forth in the report OF the Commits
sioner of Education. The number of
illiterate persons reported includes all
over ten years Of age, giving age. race,
sex and color, who cannot write. From
advance sheets Of the ninth census 1t
appears that Tennessee, with total pop
ulation an precise numbers Of ,25S. 52O
has of native.born illiterates over ten
wears of age 562, 955; of foreign-born
illiterates, l742; total, 364,694. That is
to say, over one.third OF the popuia-
ton of Tennessee is reported illiterate-
Separating the white and colored races,
we find that of these illiterates ten years
old and over, l7s,727 are white and 1885,
94l colored and 20 Chinese aud Indians.
Next let us, emitting Chinese and Indi-
ans, classify these illiterates according
to sex and regardless Of color-we find
that 1863, 1876 are males and 2el,64S fe-
males; next to classify these illiterates
according to age and without reference
to sex or color, and the result is as fol-
