ARREST AND BLEEDING As

-H.r - BEFORE, r --..

We confess to a feeling of disap-
pointment, by reason OF the announce
ment that We have to make to, our
readers upon the issue recently de-
cided by the. Supreme Court at
Nashville. On last Saturday . de-
cision was rendered by that tribun-
al in the case known as the 1908
c-se. Three OF the Judge, Messrs.
McFarland, Turney and Freeman
holding the Act of the last General
ASS mbly on the subject, unconsti-
tutional. Judges Deaderick and
Ew ng dissenting. f" 1 n
This has certainly been q, sur
prize to most Tennesseans. Every
body accepted the advancing OF the
cause onithe docket as at least an
indication that the court would hold
the lsw to be constitutional. 1t did
rot, necessarily, amount to any ex
preston OF an opinion one way or
another, but it was certainly so ac-
copied, and so looked upon. Hence
the surprise. - 600 g.
We are not jurist enough to pass
upon great constitutional ques-
lions. We have not seen the Opin-
ion. ne are for both reasons not
prepared to say whether the rea-
sous which actuated the court, are
good and sufficient or moi. And if
we should say, our opinion would be
spoken of doubtless openly, like the
opinion Of the court will be-in
whisper. 1t would be said we were
infaehced by popular clamor. We
are able, however, 10 do what their
honors could not dove can. .shirk

the 50-4.lo When we could not get
this, we favored CO.,, or even co.'s.
We did not favor the 100 3, only as
it might prove solution, and fin
atty to the perplexiDg question. Es-
pecially we're we opposed to the
COUSIN feature. But the LegisIa-
ture passed the Act. III it could
have been executed, it would have
ended the trouble. It would have
left Tennessee as free 70 ride upon |
the wave Of prosperity as her sisters.
1t would have left parties in Ten

YELTTERA0y IN PREMIERSHIP.


According to the census of 1870,
the State of Tennessee was the Sc
cond State in the Union in point of
illiteraey, our old mother, North
Carolina, alone standing in advance
of us in that particular. The last
census, 1880, will show that We have
moved forward little, four other
States, Alabama Georgia, Virginia
and North Carolina, each showing a
larger illiterate population than
Tennessee. But while this is SO, we
have little upon which to congratu-
late ourselves. Our. advance is on
ly relative one. While other States
have fallen behind us, we have not
advanced. In 1870 there were
900, 549, persons in Tennessee, more
than ten years, of age, who could
not read. Inbl870 there were 364,-
l679 persons i'm this State who could
not write In 1880 there were
40, 722. SO we cannot derive much
consolation from the. fact that we
stand number five. in the list of
States, in the point of illiteracy now,
instead Of number two in 1870.

TIE RACE STRIFE.

Serious trouble has recently occurred
between the faculty aud The students Of
Maryyille College, Blount county The
Kingston Cyclone thus abreviates the
particulars; The young white men at
tending that College have always kept
up and controlled two literary societies

the furniture, fuel and all other neccs-
sary equipments, out of their own peck
cts, and having exclusive control of
ty is attended by some of the best young
men at College, and was organized up
on the social equality" plan for the
especial benefit of negroes, while there
is special ordinance in the "Constitu-
tion and Bylaws" Of the Animi Cul-
tus, denying admission to colored stu
dents. Last week two ''gem'en oh col
or" visited the latter and demanded
seats and membership, which being
promptly but politely refused, they APP
pealed to the Faculty, who undertook
to force their admission and the ''boys"
revolted. If the Faculty further in
sists upon such intimate associations
with the negroes the Animi Cultus soci
ETY. will be abandoned entirely, the
furniture probably sold and all its
members leave the COLLEGE. in disgust.
How any man of President Bartlett
reputed brains and supposed refinement
can conscientiously insist upon such a
proposition, when all the finer impulses
of Nature itself revolt and recoil at the
idea, passes comprehension. The man
who attempts to pave his way to heaven
with bIocked-out sermons on Negro
Equality" and will not admit to his
own parlor, in company with his own
wife or daughter, the poor colored man,
for whom be manifests such Christian
sympathy, is a hypocrite in practice
and in principle as well.-Since the
above was in type, Maryville. CORES
pendent of the Knoxville 1755agaae says
that twenty-three white students were
expelled from college because Of their
refusal. to admit the negro into their
social circles. When the Faculty
tried to take charge of the Animi
Cultus Society the spunky and unyield-
ing members of the same, in accordance
with the advice of a lawyer, carried
their furniture away from the college
and placed it in the hands of trustee,
which resulted in their expulsion.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette 3
Ihave been a reader and a dear lover
OF THE GAZETTE for years, and never
before attempted to write line for its
columns, although l have seen many
things that did not meet my approba-
ton, yet was unwilling to put up my
Judgment against the better informed
judgement of so-called statesmen. 1t
pains my heart to have to speak against
a majority of an intelligent nation, But
look for moment over our land and see
the destruction being done by the hands
of the Almighty God, And no wonder
For did he not say, in numbering tones,
on Mount Sinai, that "thou shalt have
no other gods before me.'h' Oh, are. men
not making gods. and idols of men to-
day /? Are they not bidding for thous,
sands of dollars to mark the last earthly
resting place of a man More, L dare
say, than they would give to the Savior
of their souls. I believe IL right to do
nate reasonable sum sacred to the dead
statesman. But in my belief, I tell you,
God will not bear with a people who
persist in extortioning in the means he
has given them in that way. Are there
not hundreds of orphans all over our
land, who cannot be taught In the house
of God and at Sabbath Schools for want
of.the clothing society demands. Would
it aot be more 10 the honor of God to
look after these. things 2 Near my home
lies sleeping the remains OF two men
who once graeed the halls of Congress,
They have no monument over their
resting place, save the rude stones, as
they we're formed by Gods own hands.

worth than ell the marble slabs that

A Hint.

When Lydia Newman's old Quaker
uncle saw that she had fastened her pref
ty little Newport ties with poppy-red
ribbons he frowned and told her it was
not seemly. But Lydia laughed. Il
don't care for them myself she said,
"but | want my little boy to remember
that his mother wore red bows on her
Shoes
The reason was worse than the Of
tense, the old Friend retorted, and so
Lydia received a lecture, but she kept
the ribbons And who does not remem-
Der the pretty things that "Mother"
wore! Her dainty laces, the pale lilac
dresses, the scent of violets, tho rose
tucked under the lace on her breast,
seem half divine when they become but
memories to us. Mother" is ''mother,"
be she gentle or rough but what diff
fereut ideal we have when we recall
how proud we were when we brought
our friends home from school and rather
surprised them with her graceful, pref
ty ways. Her hair was SO soft, her eyes
so tender; she talked so well and knew
how to make boy feel at home. 1t
was not necessary to make excuses for
her and say she was so busy. The boys
themselves praised her, and we felt sor-
ry for them because we knew they must
feel how much sweeter and prettier she
was than theirs could be.
1t is wise for mother to take time to
dress and be fair in her children's eyes;
TO read for their sake. To learn to talk
well and to live in to-day. The circle
the mother draws around her is more
wholesome for the child than the one he
has to make for himself, and she is re-
sponsibe for his social surroundings. 1t
is not easy to be the childs most inter
esting companion and to make home his
strongest magnet, but the mothers who
have done this have been the mothers
of good men.
