An ENEMY.

Note the official who publicly, privately
and officially seizes every opportunity to
reduce the meagre stipend allowed for the
support of teachers. He rouses in oppo-
sition every manly feeling and every
sentiment of justice in the teachers heart.
He drives out of the profession every
year more 90 than can be
spared. lie dcters good men from Ell
tering. He inspires thoughts of dcsertion,
which cause immense actual and conse
quential damage. His Influence is only
for mischief and Generalization. lie is,
to all intents and purposes, an encmy to
the public school system Of America

Many such men are now in office, and
moro are trimming their sails for politi-
cal voyage.

1T SHOULD EA DONE.

Mr.. Darseya Republican Senator from
Arkansas, lays before Congress a joint
resolution Of the Arkansas Legislature
asking a donation of public lands for
educational purposes. We think hat Con-
gress should grant this request at once, as
the South needs educational facilities far
more than she does canals. railroads, or
any other improvements whatever. We
have argued in TIE News that Congress
should, in justice to both black and white
aid in the establishment Of common
schools in the Southern States.
Mr.. Forney, democrat, of Alabama,
has also asked the House for land in that
State to aid in establishing free schools.
Land could DO given for no better purpose
The South must begin to educate her poo
pie before she ever can begin a peruanen:
prosperity. This is no p%artizan question
but one in which all true citizens have an
equal interest. -DanUiNc Neus.

PUBLIC ROADS.

The condition of our public roads is
such as to make On unfavorable impress
sion upon those who visit this section of
the State for the purpose of securing
homes. Our people seem to care but
little about the matter. We have had
occasion recently Of witnessing the effect
Of our xretched road system upon stran>
gers. Intact, we have no system, for
every man who feels disposed can do just
about as he pleascs with the public road
he can work it or not, he can change it or
not. This is not always the case; but
we mean to say that the public roads are
shamcfully neglected. The prospect for
immigration to Tennessee is encourage
ing but our public roads make n bad i'm
preston upon strangers and tend to keep
them away.

History OF THE UNITED STATES, BY
Johu Clark Ridpath, A. M. Jones
Brothers g. Co., Cincinnati. 479 pages
Price $1,75.
The author Of this work has evidently
given the subject Of history careful study.
His work bears the marks of original
researh. Most of our school books have
been written in great haste, but in this
work We do not see any evidence Of haste,
We should not be surprised to see Rid
paths History take the front rank among
school histories. It deserves that place
in our judgment. The author divides
his work into four periods: Period Of
voyage and discovery, colonial period,
revolutionary period and national period.
The style of the author and the make up
Of the book are excellent.

COMMON SCHOOLS,


SUIT. Edward Wise, Of Washington
Ind, spent several days in our town. Our
people were much pleased with him. He
thinks o~fcoming to our town and engaging
in q school enterprise. We are glad to
know this. There is o grand opening for
q Normal School in East Tenn. AS a
business enterprise such a school would,
in proper hands, become a good invests
ment, We are pleased With the idea
Next week We will give some detail of
the plan proposed to be carried out.
We learn from Prof. Wise that several
parties are coming with him, provided
proper inducements are found. We want
live, active business men in our town and
county. Give all such a warm reception,
we say.
Prof. Wise left on Monday morning
for his home in Indiana. He seemed
well pleased and proposes to return.

We had a meeting of the County Court
on the FIRST Monday of the present month,
and, if it were lawful to bet, l would
wager o chicken that it was never equaled
in the history of our county. 1t was by
no means credible, but rather otherwise.
The Court is composed of very respectable
gentlemen, but some of them allowed
themselves to become frenzied with ex-
citement over the Chairman's race. A
very bitter feeling prevailed. In the
future it would be we'll for the character
of oar Court and the County, that those
who acted so indiscreetly, would deport
themselves with more dignity and high.

their enthusiasm to becloud their better
judgment, and dethrone their reason.
The position they occupy requires that
they should be calm and considerate in
their deliberations, and their cause an
exemplary one before the public.

uRINGS.o

"Times," the Washington County cor
respondent Of the Knoxville Chronicle,
is out in an article III last Saturdays
issue in which be blazes away at the
"rings" in this county, passes judgment
against the securities of the Revenue
Collector, reads the pedigee of a certain
tribe" dominates and elects a President,
Governor, member to Congress and fills
the county Offices with honest men re-
CARELESS Of their former associations"
W. do not know who the gentleman is
that writes so glibly for the Chronicle
but no doubt he belongs to some one of
the different "rings' in this county. And
while he says some good and patriotic
things, we have no hesitancy in saying that
he is badly mistaken in somo ofthe facts p
set forth in his article.
As to "rings' We have plenty Of them,
eYen more than Times" mentions. We
have the big Republican ring, and small
Republican ring. We also have a big
Democratic ring and q small Democratic
ring. Thetwe small rings remind us
Of horse.aies in Summer time, whip them
away from the horses head aud they will
light just anywhere they can get blood.
So it is with the small rings" If they
can't get q share Of the spoils in their own
party, they will go''with the opposition.
The fact is blood" is what they are after
and they will go where they can get the
best and richest. There are men in all
four Of these rings who want to control
the county affairs. We cannot agree
with Times" Chat all "ringsters' are
dishonest. There arc men in these foe.
tiona that are honest and wpnld conduct
the public business honestly. Therefore
we can only say TO Times if his ring
has met With reverscs, to ''lay low and
keep quiet" and by acting prudently he
may succeed in the next election.

the supreme Court and reversed on the
ground that the jury was Incompetent by
reason Of having formed an opinion from
