We dol want to jest or call any
hard names in this canvass. The situa.
tion y too serious. To see great party
divided into pucrlle factions while the
common enemy Of all is united and
drawn up in battlc-line, is not pleasant,
and determinations would be sadly out
OF place. 1t was the spirit Of faction and
INSTRUMENTATION that caused mighty
Rome to fall, and other countries to-day
are mere dependencies because of inter.
nal strife. In Tennessee there is but
one hope, and that is TO stand by the
nominee of the Democratic party in con.
vention assembled in Nashville, June
Zoth. All opposition is surely in the
interest, intended or not, of the Republi.
can party. Russell, we are almost Ger.
tain, will not receive one dozen votes in
this county. The contest is between
Bate and Hawkins, and, really, if YOU
are not for Bate you must, it would ap.
pear, prefer Hawkins.

a copy Of the Memphis Herald, Of
date July 10th, has fallen into our
hands. 1t is Greenback papar, and
iioats the name of Hon. Jno. r Bens-
ley as its candidate for Governor. 1t
even asserts that its candidate will re-
celve over 100000 votes, and that the
race ls narrowed down to Beasley- or
Hawkins" We cannot suppress apleas.
ant smile at this assertion, but become
serious when We reflect that it is so easy
for man to believe that which he
wants to believe. And while We Won
der how any man, be he Greenbacker or
Bolter, can arrive at any such conclu-
sion, we say in all seriousness that if we
could only believe the race was between
Beasley and Hawkins, Mr.. Beasley's
name would appear in the biggest type
we could use in our paper as our choice
for Governor. We have known Mr..
Beasley for many years very intimately,
and are proud of him as citizen Of our
county. As a man he is above re-
proach. We believe he is even too OBJ
stinate in standing by what he conceires
to be right, because his obstinacy smacks
Of vanity as to his opinion. John Beas-
ley would, as a man of honor and good
sense, adorn the position for which his
small party has nominated him. But
he cannot be elected Then, why should
the Herald not advocate united sup
port of Gen. Bate? Mr.. Beasley will
make better race than many suppose,
but the Herald cannot, surely, believe
he will be elected. Perhaps the Herald
wants him to prepare the way for one to
come, as John the Evangelist did. The
last-namcd John, We are told, was i'm
mersed in caldron Of boiling oil, and
that in this terrible ordeal he was mirac-
ulously preserved, so that he sustained
not the slightest injury After this he
was banished to the isle of Patmos.
Now, we hope our friend, Mr. John r.
Beasley, will suffer as little MS his illus
trious namcsake and that he will not be
banished. 1t would be better, if he
wishes to defeat Hawkins, to join in for
Bate. lie is too honest and worthy Il
man to indirectly aid the unrelenting
enemy of Democracy.

THE COURSE OF STUDY

Is extensive, flexible and practical. Students
can pursue what they need, but must do
thoroughly what they attempt. Schools
should fit ior uscinlncss--lor citizenship. The
old plan-lreshman, Sophomore, Junior aud
Senior, with five or fix studies for slow and
quick in the same timc--docs not meet the
demand OF the times. Those schools that adj
here TO this plan cannot live. They may

learned that their Alma Mater lacks modern
ideas and does not meet modern necessities
Hence these representatives fail to send bach,
patronage, though the institution he begging

ncsses that the higher education Of the old
colleges is wholly disconnected from the work
OF life, and that the education received in
them is II total failure. They now see that
the "higher education without the fornda-

They have learned in the "dear school Of cx-

from their lips that they spent so much of life
in the dead past to the neglect OF the living
knowledge OF the present. Many sensible
men even doubt the practcablily OF sending
away to college, 80 many and so fatal have
been the mistakes OF these schools. Often do
We hear it said, "rhc colleges ruin more than
