THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
Enthusiasm Along the Line
From TaylOrsviIle to Sneed-
ViIIe-McKinney Leads
the Van.
From the Rogersville Spectator

Last week we published COM
muAication from IA "Ex- Federal
Soldier" we know to be a
reliable gentleman-reIative to the
standing Of Judge Mckinney with
the voters of Hancock county, and
giving some of the reasons therefor.
In this issue will be fou I'd a letter
from Taylorsville, the other end of
the circuit, in regard 10 the feeling
of that section. From one end eff
the line to the other; from CORES
pondents aud exchanges, come up
the most cheering. reports OF his
great popularity with the masses.
The people are moving, and public
opinion all over the circuit is rapidly
concentrating. As the election APP
breaches the real sentiment of the
voters is being developed, and what
was to some exteat CO lecture a few
mOnths ago. is now a. certainty.
MCKINNEY IS THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
Appreciation of his official conduct
has given place to enthusiasm for
his reelection, and the most graft
flying feature about the matter is,
that the movement originated in the
hearts of the honest, substantial peo-
pie of the circuit, and is being push
ed forward free from demagogueism
or tie influence of rings. cliques, or
bull doing of any kind. This is
just what is needed in all elections,
the people are the source of power
and should act for themselves. Let
the good work go on until "well
done thou good and faithful servant"
in the shape of the ballots of the
voters, shall reward Judge McKin-
ney for-the past, and re-eIect him to
The position which he has so honora-
bly, filed.

THE EDUCATIONAL ca USE

When people are pressed with
financial troubles it may SQUAD
strange to say anything about sub
ject that will require money but as
there are some things which cannot
be run without money, it will be we'll
to discuss the most efficient and
economical mode of efFecting that
which will do good to all.
The public school system has be-
come an American idea and is now
incorporated in the organic law OF
every State in the United States.
1t is a cheap mode of reaching the
masses, and. in fact, is the only
mode. Many phases Of our system
Of public schools are Objectionable /;
but it will de no good at this time
to oppose it as a system, as it is
firmly fixed. The question is, how
can public schools in Tennessee do
the most good.
We must have qualified profession
al teachers before good can be done,
and the schools must continue at
least five months in the year. In
order to have competent teachers,
we require active, intelligent county
superintendent men who know
how to teach and know how 10 i'm
part love for the work to others.
They must also be paid enough to
justify competent men to take hold
of the work. In every county in the
State such men can be procured, and
when the members of the county
courts realize the Importance of Sc
Letting such men and pay them
sufficient salaries to induce them to
give their time TO the work, they
will do work that will add much
to the prosperity of their respective
counties. Just here let it be under
SJOOu bHdb We uO uOb sAfOI GAlIdNSh- !
giant salaries, but such as will justi-
fly competent men to accept the posi-
ton and work it up.
The first Monday in April the tax
will be assessed for current ex-
penses. Wherever it is absolutely
necessary to curtail assessments for
other purposes let it be done, but
the school tax should stand. A one
mill tax with the State tax, the
tax, and the interest from
he school fund, will. in most coun.
lies, be sufficient to give five months
schools.
We hope to refer to this subject
again, and speak of the necessity of
rained teachers; the efficiency of
'ema!e teachers and other matters
hat effect this vital interest of our

private relations lie has won the
heart Of friends and commanded fhe
esteem of the opposite party.

discourses in this way:
ANY attempt to be-little or un-
derrafe Judge Mckinney will be
unavaiIing, because he is liked and
respected BY alleIasses. His admin
istration of the law has been charac-
terized by quiet and unassnming
dignity, aud is peculiarly free of the
unnecessary harshness and viger
that have made many a Judge an
object Of hate and contempt.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually q
burden instead of pleasant existence
of enjoy ment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for this,
if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie IF Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory
sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi-

The storehouse on the corner Of
Main street belonging 20 Maj. A. j..
Mouutcastle, in Rogersville, was set
on fire between twelve and one
o'clock on Wednesday night of last
week. This building is empty and
has been unoccupied for some time.
An armfull OF dry pine had been
split up fine, covered with kerosiue
oil aud stuck through a crack at the
door and a match applied. 1t so
happened that John NJ. Netherland.
ESQ had that day been over to the
Junction on business. and it being
light, pleasant night he concluded
to ride home, reaching the village a
little before one o'clock. The blaze
was just beginning to take hold of
the wall and door when he discover
ed it. He raised the alarm, burst
the door open and went to work

William White heard the cry offire.
sprang from his bed and reached
the place with a bucket OF water
just in time to extiAguish the fire
and save the building. and in saving
that house the principal part of the
town was doubtless saved.
This incendiaryism in Rogers
vile is getting to be very serious
matter. II has been going on all
winter. Already a good deal of
property has been destroyed; our
citizens have been kept restless and
uneasy. This last attempt is the
most serious of any. 1t was at
locality where the flames in all
probability would have spread to
other large and valuable business
houses and private dwellings and
would have laid the greater part Of
the teWl in ruins. The time has
come now for this burning business
to stop. Who it is doing the devil
,ish work, or what motive is at the
bottom Of it, we have no idea, and
advance nothing. But that there is
q secret enemy in our midst bent on
serious mischief, we have no doubt.
The business men and property
holders Of the town ought forthwith
to take some energetic and determ-
ined steps TO avert the danger. and
ifpossibIe to arrest and punish the
criminal. Next week or tomorrow
may be too late. That we are in
imminent danger OF being burnt out
OF house and home on any night
Is known and felt by all.

Why A ScHooLMAsrER WENT ABROAD

"A Virginia City man who formerly

has been telling Dan. De Quille why he

old ranchman, gave one Of the boys some
extra lessons in geography. The old man
overheard him telling the boy that the

second separation took place l went with
