weak colleges be suppressed, and the little
strength they possess be added to institu-
tions Of some standing and efficiency.
What we want in this country is be,ter.and
smaller primary schools. In this city and
State more than oue.hnlf the children leave
school before they are fourteen. The pri-
mary school is the only chance for the edu-
cation of this great mass, and yet our
energies and means have been spent in
efforts to maintain schools and colleges.
We want colleges and universities, few in
number rich in the learning Of their Pro
fessors and the character of their students.
But as to the rudiments Of knowledge,
they should be as common, SIS free. and as
inviting as air and water \ university
can hardly be too large; a primary school
can hardly be too small.
This is most important question
and we cordially endorse what the
AmericaH says on the subject One
live institution, well endowed, prop
erly conducted and well patronized is
worth all the "one-horse" institutions
in christendom. In fact there are q
great many institutions of learning
in the land that are dubbed colleges,
which are an actual curse. Young
men Of bright and vigorous intellects
are induced to enter these halls,
where they waste their time for few
years, arc made to believe they have
Il thorough education when they have
only smattering of what they should
have.
As the Americw aptly says. let us
have colleges few in number, rich in
the learning of their Professors and
the character Of their students"
rather than a multiplicity with these
essentials wanting.

To the Editors of the Chronicle:
On yesterday ] attended "a Sunday
School Picnic at Pleasant Hill in the
10Th District, and | must say, in sin
certify, that it was in every respect a
success, Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather.
The morning hours Were c,u-u med
in examining classes, after yff.r,..r dim
ner was announced, and the assembly,
which was by 10 means small one.
went to the grove near the church.
where they found very long table
loaded with everything that was good:
and right well did your correspondent
enjoy this part Of tie programme.
The young ladies around Pleasant
Hill-to say nothing of their beauty
"are at home" when it comes to get
ting up "A good picnic dinner. The
people did II ample justice, and yet
there was plenty and TO spare
After dinner, prizes We're presented
to Misses Nancy i. Baker, L0uiza Par
sons, --- Rule, and Mr.. Albert Rose.
for their fidelity aud punctuslity dur
ing the school.
The highest number OF verses i'm the
Testament committed 10 memory by
any member Of the school, was 1919.
Addresses were delivered by W. G.
Mcpherson, W. G. Murphey, and Rev.
Z. NJ. Atchley. The addresses were
excellent, and very attentively listen
ed To by the people whose demeanOr
during The whole day speaks well for
the neighh0rhood.
During the exercises Mr.. Jas. Par
sons, who is the teacher of the public
school at that place, and also Super
intendent Of the Sunday school, led
the choir in some beautiful vocal
music.
The people Of the county are alive
on the subject of Sunday schools, and
are getting them established in nearly
every district in the county.
The sabbath school convention for
the county will meet in Sevierville on
the 18th and Goth of this month Ev-
cry school in the county is requested
and expected TO send delegates.
Mrs. Barbary Shuts, of the LIST dis
trlct, died last week, aged ninety-nine
years and six months. She had not
walked a step for over sixteen years.
A post office has been established at

our currency. In its issue of the
4th, The Age says that the bonds of
the United States were issued with
the understanding that they were to
be paid in greenbacks. This is a
very wild statement, and one that can
not be proved. The only bonds is.
sued by the Government, principal
andintercst payable in currency, were
. the seyen-thirty bonds, and they were
issued and sold with express notice
upon their face that the principal and
interest were to be paid in paper. These
bonds have long since been funded.
The bonds sold by the Government
during the war were principal and in
terest to be paid in money! Green.
backs are mere promises to pay
money. Ifa private citizen eXccu-
ted his bond for $1,000, payable in
money ten years after date. and at
maturity offered to pay it in a new
note for money. would that be con-
sidered a payment? The United
States, previous to the war, paid its
obligations in gold and silver-the
money Of the world. When it offered
its bonds for sale to men of every ma
ton, Of course it was understood they
were payable in money that was recog-
nized the world over as moueY-as
something Of intrinsic value. The
contemporaneous legislation of
Congress and action OF Secre-
tary Chase all proved that
the bonds were payable in money
gold. One Of the principal issues of
the Presidential election of 1868, was
the one we are discussing. The Pen

could pay our national debt in paper

TIE SUCCESS of the fast mail train
from New York to the West, inau.
gurated by Postmaster.G General Jewell
and his efficient aid. Col. Geo. S.
Bangs, gives the lie direct to the
Charge Of Democratic journals relative
to what they term the inefliciencv of
the public service Of to-day. 1t is
one Of the grandest achievements of
the public service in the wonderful
history Of this great country. The
mail service Of the country has never
been under honcster or more efficient
management than at the present day.
1t is constantly being extended and
improved, and at no time in the his
tory Of the nation has there been so
many people supplied with mail facil-
tiles rs now. 1t is so in Tennessee
and it is 50 in every State in the
Union whether North or South. What
is true Of the mail service is also true
OF every other branch Of the public
service. tits not perfect in any Of its
branches, but is being constantly i'm
proved in all Of them.
The charges so often repeated in
Democratic journals, is only the wall
Of the outs Their motives are
based on an inordinate desire 70 get
their hands into the public crib, and
nothing more. Beyond this they have
no other motive. TO accomplish this
they will resort to falsehood and all
kinds Of deception. Thousands of
them are hanging on to the ragged
edge" Of despair, and unless relieved
by some kind Of an Office will 90
down with sorrow to their gloomy
graves. A majority of those who
have most to say on this subject are 50
dishonest, politically, that no sensible
man will trust them personally.
Many of them are broken down
lawyers, preachers, physicians, whose
lives have been a miserable failure.
and they are willing to do or say any.
thing, however contemplate or how
ever false, in order to bring themselves
into notice.
Our neighbors, the Press 0,d Her.
oH, became intensely excited a few
weeks ago, because we intimiated
that they would change their base be-
fore this time next year, and be ram
pant partisans Of a hard money De.
mocracy. But they may make up
their minds to it. If hard money
Democrat receives the party nomina-
ton, as now appears likely, their 10y
atty may be put to test, but they
