POETRY.
The Good Man.
BY SIR HENRY wATToN.-About 1925.


How happy is he born and taught,
That serveth not another's will;
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill!
Whose passions not his masters are,
Whose soul is still prepared for death,
United unto the worldly care
Of public tame, or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth raise,
Or vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise;
Nor rules OF state, but rules of good;
Who hath his life from rumors freed,
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither fatterers feed,
Nor ruin make oppressors great;
Who God doth late and early pray,
More Of his grace than gifts to LEND;
And entertains the harmless day
With a religious book or friend.
This man is freed from servile bands,
OF hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord Of himself though not Of lands;
And having nothing, yet hath all.

SHALL THE OFFICE SEEK THE
MAN OR THE MAN THE OFFICE?

EDITORS CHRONICLE:-As election
days will soon roll around, | must say
what | have to say upon this subject
before candidates begin to advertise
themselves for hire" for fear that
some might construe this short article
as personal. It is often the case that
persons out of employment advertise
through the columns Of the press for
situation. This think is right and
proper, and the best way to find a sit
uation, ard most generally when one
cannot be found in this way, there is
none to be had But when large
banking or manufacturing concern, or
other concern of much importance. de-
sire a man to take entire charge of
some important branch Of their bust
ness, for instance their financial de-
partment, or the general management
of their affairs, do they confne their
selections to those who are advertls-
ing for situations, or do they look
around a little and try to fad one
thatthey think might suit them betterf
Most generally they call a meeting OF
their board of directors, consider
the matter, and finally conclude TO
offer the position to some one VINO
never permits himself to get cut OF
employment, and therefore has no
need to advertise for situation. If
thew find one, however, in the adyer-
tised list to suit them. they may take
him. but they do not by any means,
copfnc themselves to that list. Now,

! say, let the people of Tennessee do
likewise. When the proper time
comes, let the directors. Che peoplel
be called together to consider the mat
ter and select their candidates from
among the people, and pick those who
will suit the position they want them
for best. regardless of the adpertised
list, fayoritism; or anything else. In
this wy good men might be selected
for Office, and if there ever was time
that good officers were needed in our
county. State, and National Govern
ment, it Is now. Indeed, good men
are needed for Office at all times, and
for all Offices. and very many who an
nounce themselves as candidates for
responsible positions are unfit for any
Office. Our county and State affairs
should certainly be considered as i'm
portant as those of an ordinary manu-
featuring, or banking concern, and yet
there are numbers of men elected to
responsible Offices in Tennessee that
could not begin to get position in a
first class bank or mandatory. This
is all entirely wrong, and the fault
and the remedy both lie with the peo-
pie themselves. just in proportion
as bank or mandatory will prosper
with good management, or fall t.
pieces with bad, SO will our State and
county, prosper or go to ruin. In or,
der to have good management in any
and all departments, there must b.
good men to manage, and in order tt
make sure Of getting such, let the Of
flee seek The man, and not the man III,

BELIEVING that most of the muir
ders committed in the South, are un-
premeditated, those at least which re-
suit from sudden conflicts, and believ-
ing that the latter would not have oc-
cured but for the criminal practice of
carrying concealed weapons, it is the
duty of every law biding citizen to
take decided stand in favor of any
measure that will put stop to that
nefariOus practice. The present law
against it could do much towards ac-
complishing that object were it rigidly
enforced, but, like the dog law, it is
not popular and is, therefore, only a
partial success. There is, in our OPP
inion "a peculiar fitness in the legislation
which draws revenue from the vicious
to educate the young, therefore we en-
dorse the suggestion of the CONNER
cial and Law Reporter, that all who
desire to carry concealed weapons shall
pay license tax of three, or FIVE dol
lars annually, and give bonds, of two
or three hundred dollars, that they
will make no illegal use ofthe weapons
they are licensed to carry. To make
the law more effective, it should be
further enacted that all who do not
apply for license and still carry con-
cealed weapons, shall be punished by
forfeiture of the murderous instru-
ments, and fine aud Imprisonment, to
the extent defined by the act. This.
it seems to US, would effectually break
up the dangerous practice, or contrib
ute handsome sum to the Treasury,
or better still, to the school fund. If
to this be added tax on liquor con-
sumed, and the continuance and en-
forcement of the dog tax, three grave
evils will be made tributary to the
finance of the State, and to the morals
of its people.
