Editorial Correspondence.
NEAR SPRING HILL, June 10.

NEAR SPRING HILL, June 10.
As our visit draws to a close we be-
gin to turn our attention to McMinn-
vile, where we will soon 60 into sum-
mer quarters for the heated term.
We have spent few days here
where we have lived over again the
scenes of our early youth in the retire
ment Of country luxury and ease. We
always believed that invidious distinc-
tons and expressions of childish pref
erences for either town or country were
ill.advised and consequently unwise.
Both town and country have Their s ad:
and adapt himself to the other is lily
qualified for either. That there is a
difference in the manners, customs and
etiquette of country and town people
no one will deny, and taat there should
be is equally evident. Country people
have their peculiarities that are wise
and otherwise; and so haYe town peO-
pie. 1t is not the locality that makes
the difference in the merits or dement's
of the two classes, but they themselves
make it and should be willing to share
the consequences. With a single
structure on one of the weaknesses d
city folks we will close this part of oul
subject, and 1t is this: The listless
careless, yet impertinent practice O.
asking visitors in cities Where they are
stopping, or at aChat hotel they are put
ting up, is as rude and impolite as it il
useless and frivolous. 1t is senseless
inquisitiveness into private matters
with which none need concern them
selves, except the landlord and hi
guest.
Wheat harvesting has begun in this
favored region, and by aid of the i'm
proved methods will soon be completed
1t will require threshipg and measur
ing to settle the problem as to thu
yield.
All admit that it would be an excel
lent thing and a permanent improve
ment to the whole country to have jus
such roads as the new law prescribes
but there is a general opposition to al
effort to make them such.

Where the Responsibility Rests.

Every sober, thoughtful citizen must
see at a glance that the agitation of the
question of our State debt tends only
to widen the breach in the Democratic
party, and thereby increase the chances
for tho Republicans to retain control.
ling power in any plan ofrelief or final
adjustment of that question. 1t is
therefore the part of wisdom and pa
triotsm to abandon this useless agita-
ton, strive to heal the breach, unite
the Democracy, assume thegovernment
of the State and administer it in the
interest of the people whose right it is
to control the State by virtue of large
constitutional majority. The 1908
settlement is perhaps not the choice of
a single Democrat in the State, nor is
it the choice of the rank and file of
the Republicans, and was accepted by
those Democrats who voted for it only
as choice of evils. The evils thus
presented were, on the one hand, this
settlement at 1908, or no settlement,
continual agitation and final repudia.
ton on the other.
Those Democrats who refused al
compromises in the convention and ir
the Legislature drove the wedge thai
forced this alternative of evils and are
responsible for the result.

Democratic HarmOny--A Conservative
Letter.

The letter of Col W. j. Sykes to
A. NJ. Burney, editor of the McMinn-
vile Standard, is couched in a spirit of
Cancellation and respect for the opinions
of Others that can only result in the re-
union of the Democratic party if the
matter is viewed with the sagacious wis
dom it should be by the Democratic
party, and if the same spirit and desire
to ignore past differences that animates
the writer is caught up and made the
general key note Of preparations for
the next State canvass. The only hope
of uniting the Democracy Of Tennes-
see is by accepting the finality Of the
1908 settlement, and such we believe
is now the disposition of many of the
former supporters of Savage and Viii
son. In fact, it is either to do this or
have a Republican Legislature that will
sustain the settlement. The low tax
Democrats will make nothing by d.
viding the party, even on their favorite
hobby of Low taxes.@ lorrido'ca Ga

You can hear all kinds of stories in

near the Eureka Basin, a little hole

which is supposed by ten thousand SUI
perstitious invalids who congregate
around this supposed fountain of health
to gulp down its tasteless waters by the
pint, quart and gallon, you can hear tell

The STANDARD has opposed the
1908 from the beginning and did all
in its power to prevent its adoption.
1t has charity enough, however, to be-
lieve that State credit Democrats and
Wilson Democrats voted for it only as
a choice of evils, and not as choice
of settlements; for no other seemed
possible to that Legislature, divided

We have taken the trouble to ascer-
tain what the debt tax is on land in
Warren county. The average price
of lands in the county for the last as
sessment was S7.03. This requires IA
and one.ffth acres to amount to
500, on which the tax under the
1908 settlement is 20 cents, 1. e.,
t,uenty cents on every IA acres of land
which is less than l J cents per acre. Il
it for this that the Democratic party
must be divided, and the Republican

Does any man in his sober senses be-
lieve that Warren county can withhold
her State tax from the State treasury
and pay it out to judges, courts and
officers contrary to the constitution and
laws of the State? This is Mr.. Snod-
grass remedy for the evils of the 1908
settlement. We say it is simply i'm
practicable in law and politics. The
courts are bound to decide against it as
the constitution now stands, and an eff
fort to change the constitution for that
purpose will fail at the ballot box be-
cause the people do not propose to rev.
olutionize their State government when
the same end may be accomplished
in another and better way. The
majority of the people of the State
are pledged against such monstrou
measure.

A GHOST STORY.
A Foolish Woman, Believing Her
Dead Nephew Alive Attempts
20 Disinter Him,

Centralla. Pa, has had first class
sensation this week; and it is not done
yet. Last week an account was given
Of the killing of Patrick Lavelle by a
stroke Of lightning. He with several
others, was engaged in laying water
pipes through the town, and when the
storm came on took refuge under a
tree, with the fatal eject stated. He
was an UNMARRIED man and resided
With an aunt, who loved him dearly.
% Sunday his remains were laid at
rest at the Catholic cemetery here.
That night hig aunt dreamed that she
saw Patrick alive and we'll and nov
ing about.
Next morning she was so impressed
with her vision that she caused the
grave TO be opened, but, just before
the coffin could be opened, Father
D Brien, the parish priest, appeared
on the scene and put an end to the
proceedings, much against the wishes
Of the crowd, who cited cases nPpeooy-
cry frAm lightning strake. Admitting
this, Father Q'Brien said that, even
|if hGEslle had recovered from tho
stroke, the "a hours inteflnent would
have killed him, and he paremptorily
declined to permit them to 20 ahead
and ord9reA the closing Of the grave
agaia. In the meantime the report
gained ground that Lavelles body had
been taken to the church and that be
there recovered. There was a rush TO
the church but the crowd was turned
away, and, learning the truth, seemed
sadly disappointed.

rhe wheat CroD.

WASHINGTON, August minister
Foster writes to the Department Of
State, under date of July IS, 1881,
that the Russian wheat crop is likely
to be one Of theolargest ever raised in
the empire, and that the export prom
ises to be much greater than usual.
tits stated that in the districts tribu-
tary to the Port Of Odessa the yield is
likely to be so large that farmers think
they could dispense with harvests for
four years to come.
Advices from Taganrog and Csuca-
sus show promises of a crop equal TO
that of 1874 one Of the largest ever
known in Russia, and advicos from
Moscow affirm that it is thought the
harvest in Southern Russia will be
the largest they have had for twenty
years. The harvest in Central Rus
STA, while not 10 enormous, will yield
a splendid crop Of excellent quality.
In the southern provinces the grain
is already cut; further north it is still
subject to damage incident to bad
weather and insects. From Mos
cow, which is the great CONNER
cial center of Russia, it is reported
that all branches Of business are be-
ginning to revive and flourish, after a
long season of depression, solely on
account Of the prospects Of an abupd-
ant harvest. 1t will not be without
practical political influence also, for
much discomfort in the interior has
resulted from hard times and short
crops. ASSES
