Exhausted Patience.

Dispatches from London represent
English patience as being almost
exhausted. A telegram of recent
date says:
Though little is openly said, it
may be regarded as a certainty that
another dynamite explosion pro-
duced by the party of assassination
will be the signal for an uprising Of
all classes of EnglIshmen, compared
to which the anti-CathOlic riots OF
Sir George Gordon's time would
seem as child's play. There are
MANY thousands of Irishmen in
England employed in all the great
industries, and the declaration Of
open hostility to that class would
be but too gladly received by a great
body of the natives, who, for pOliti-
cal, religious, race, and other rea-
sons, look with ill-concealed dislike
upon the unfortunate refugees who
have been compelled to abandon
their own country for that of their
oppressors. 1t is not too much to
say that the people of this island
stand upon a slumbering volcano
that may at any moment break
forth and deIuge the land with strife
and blood. The unwisdom which
seems part of the Irish character
is largely to blame for this; the
other reasons are stated above. 1t
will require GOODNESS and good judg-
ment on all sides to prevent the hOr-
rOrS limited at.

NORTH.

The cause of the notifying truths
Brought out in the above is readily
traceable to our inefficient public
school systems, and what is really
alarming is the slOwness and abso-
lutte reluctance shown in some Sec
tiOns OF the South to improve the
condition of things. The amount of
money spent for school purposes in
the South is as nothing compared to
that expended for the same purpose
in the North. The amount paid out
per capita for enrolled pupils in the
public schools of the South runs, in
the different States, from 81 to 50,
while in the North it goes from 80
to $l7.
We cannot expect immigration or
any substantial progress in the
South until this has been improved
and we therefore hail with pleasure
such advanced action as that taken
by the Upton county court, and
commend it asa worthy example to
be followed by all the other coun-
ties in the State.

The Railroad.

The railroad committee have been
very successful in their efforts this
week since our last report over
ST., 800 has been subscribed and the
good work goes bravely on. The
total amount now reaches SIS, $50
and Judge G. G.. Smith assures us
that every dollar of the sum sub
scribed is as good as gold. That
looks like business, and gives assur-
ance that the road will be built. The
citizens of GAINESVILLE have done
nobly in giving ready aid to this
enterprise, but there is more to be
done yet, and more money can be
raised in GAINESVILLE. While large
number of our citizens have enrolled
their names as public benefactors
by subscribing abundantly of their
means, there are some still tagging
who must yet become aiders of this
much needed enterprise.
We don't believe any GAINESVILLE
capitalist wishes to reap the benefits
of the railroad without contributing
to its building. Some gentlemen
are more deliberate about their
movements than others, and we
prophesy that before the books are
closed every manin GAINESVILLE who
hos cuffiaippt ,npaOS will no added
to the list of subscribers.

Curious Matrimonial Mixture.

One of those curious family COM
plications which are liable to arise
in any community has just been
brought to light in Michigan,
through the marriage of a widower
with three sons to widow with
three daughters. Were this mar
riage the only one that had taken
place between the members of those
now united families, the task of
pointing out the relationship ex-
listing between the different people
concerned would not be severe
one. But the three sons have had
the termerity to fall in love and
become matrimonially attached to
the three daughters. just what re-
latiOnship the boys and girls bear
to each other and to the old people,
and just what kinship the old peo-
pie have acquired for the younger
ones of the household, is something
that requires considerable thought.
The young men are certainly broth
ers-in-Iaw to themselves and the
girls are Just as certainly sisters-in-
law to each other. Each boy is a
sOn-in-laW to his own father, and
each girl is daughter-in-law to
her own mother. The old man has
become husband to the mother-in-
law of his own son, and naturally,
his wife being still in the flesh,
must be a bigamist. Ergo, the old
lady must bea bigamist, she being
the wife of her son-in-law's father.
Now, if the old lady should have a
child, what relation would he or
she bear TO the possible child of one
of the young couples? We pause
for reply.

"May i Kiss That Baby ?''
Youths Companion.

To soldier far away from home
there is no more touching sigh
than that of a baby in its mothers
arms. While on their way to Get
tysburg our troops were marching
by night through a village over
whose gateways hung lighted lam
lerns, while young girls shed tears
as they watched the brothers OF
other women march on to possible
death. A scene of the march is thus
described by the author of BULLET
and She'll"
Stopping for a moment at the
gate of dwelling, | noticed a
young mother leaning over it with
chubby child in her arms. Above
the woman's head swung a couple
of stable lanterns, their light falling
upon her face. The child was crow
ing with delight at the strange pag-
cant, as it watched the armed host
past on: Il beg your pardon,
ma'am," said Jim Manners, one of
my men, as he dropped the butt of
his musket on the ground and peer
ed wistfully into the faces of the
mother and child. 81 beg pardon,
but may kiss that baby of yours I?
I've got one at home, at least he
was when 1 last saw him, two years
ago. The mother, a sympathetic
tear rolling down her cheek, silent
Iy held out the child. Jim pressed
his unshaven face to its innocent,
smiling lip for a moment, and
then walked on, saying: God bless
you, ma'aIn, for that !" Poor Jim
Manners! He never saw his boy
again in life. A bullet laid him
low the next day, as we made our
first charge.

luninf pfcfffra.

Capt. Ben. F. Egan passed up the
river Sunday a passenger on the
Cherry. The Captain was for many
years well-known river man on
the Cumberland, and there are
many people along its banks who
entertain pleasant recollections of
him and the boats he commanded.
Old-t time steamboating, when the
river traffic was in its prime, is the
captains favorite subject and no one
is better versed than he on that in
terestIng subject. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Paducah Journal
which tells ofan interesting relic of
those days he has in his possession.
Capt. Ben. F. Egan, the ancient
mariner of the wild Suwannee,
whose uncle, S. M. Barner, (now
planted in the old graveyard hill
up at the mouth ofSmithland, who
owned and commanded the Rife
man, the first steamboat that landed
at Nashville, and was the Captain
of the POcdhO1ltdS mentioned below,
has in his procession an old-time
picture, OF which he gives the fol-
lowing historical account: In 1928
the city of New Orleans chartered
the steamer POcGhOEt0s to conve y
Gen. Jackson from and to Nashville
to the Sth of January Celebration at
the Battle Ground. This time-stain-
ed Autograph represents the boat
nearing the Crescent City, escorted
by forty-seven vessles crowded with
people dressed in gala costume. A
grand and imposing sight witnessed
fifty-five years agone. On that trip,
prominently conspicuous among
Old Hickory's invited guests, were
Judge Overton, father of John
Oyerton, owner of the Maxwell
house in Nashville; Major Donel-
son. once candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States r. E.
w. Earl, the celebrated portrait
painter Gen. Sam Houston, Gov
ernor of the State of Tennessee, and
his aids, Gems. Smith and Dunlap.
p. SO. M. Blackum will fall
heir to that picture. See if he don't.

OrqIn OF the Stars and Stripes.

The New York Life Insurance
Company has placed US under obi
cations for a very handsome and
ornamental chart, which show the
genealOgy of George Washington
and at the same time the origin of
the stars and stripes in the national
flag. Accompanying the chart is a
well written essay on the same sub
ject, prepared by Mr.. Edward w.
Tuffiey, of Northampton, England.
1t is probably not known to a great
many of our readers that the stars
and stripes constituted the arms of
the Washington family two centu-
ries before they became the national
emblems of the U. S., yet this is an
interesting fact. The device is en-
graved on the tomb of Lawrence
Washington in Althorp parish
church yard, at Brington, England,
who was lineal ancestor of the
fret president, and died in 1922. 1t
Is on the memorial brass plate of the
Washingtons in the quaint old
church at the same place and is
found again atSolgrave, the country
seat of the Washingtons in the days
of Henry VIII. The arms as shown
on the chart represent shield with
three stars and three red stripes and
the crest is raven with wings open
issuing out of a ducal coronet. 1t is
probable that this raven suggested
the spread eagle on American coins.

TIE coHpLfiEr rs JUST.

The English people have express
ed some indignation than the Uni
ted States government should allow
explosives to be manufactured in
this country and exported to Eng
land to be used there for criminal
purposes. The complaint is just and
should receive official attention on
this side of the Atlantic. Our sym
pathy for Ireland in her political
sufferiIgs should not lead us into
becoming loGrticeps c1'imainis to a
diabolical scheme that has whole
sale murder, assassination and the
destruction of property as its end.
When matters reach this crisis our
sympathy goes over to the other
side, but leaving out all sentimental
considerations, it is disgraceful that
our country should be made the
workshop of the dynamite fiends.
No law-abiding, conservative peo-
pie can look with favor on such out
rageous practices as are now being
resorted to by the Irish insurrection-
lists in England. AS government
we have nothing to do with the
political disentions of another coun-
try and as a people our sympathy
may be with oppressed Ireland, but
when it comes to a silent acquies-
cence in communistic practices, and
quietly allowing our soil to be made
the mandatory of nurderous devil
ces, the aspect changes.
Our duty in the premises can be
more readily comprehended by a
change in situations. Socialistic
ideas and tendencies have gained
considerable ground in America
within the last decade by the heavy
foreign immigration that has poured
in upon us. We have a dangerous
class well as the countries of En-
rope. The signs of sedition are not
lacking even in the land OF the free,
and there is no telling when these
radical thinkers will seek to over
throw our institutions. Suppose
such thing was to be attempted,
and all of our government officials
and public buildings scattered over
the country should be threatened
with death and destruction by the
secret assassin and the groveling
incendiary; and suppose, at the
same time, that England should be
the arsenal from which these hid
den fiends should draw the imple-
ments for their work, wouldn't we
set up a howl of Indignation OF
course we would and be justified in
doing so.
In our opinion the United States
government should not only prohib-
it the expectation of internal ma
chimes and such like explosives but
ferret out and punish their manu-
facture wherever made for criminal
purposes.

Ben Butler and the Devil.

The Cincinnati News calls the
Massachusetts clergy's attention to
the fact that Ben Butler occupies
the same relation to political affairs
that the devil occupies as to the
moral condition of the world. The
News further says: HE" the devil
not Butler, sis sort of circuitor, a
restless spirit whose business it is to
keep things stirred up and in a
wholesome condition of agitation.
While, for obvious reasons, he is
never honored or credited with
good, there is a prevalent philoso-
ply which holds the world the
better off for the presence of the
devil, and Massachusetts may owe
much to the presence of Butler, al
though his cockeye may never be
preserved in marble upon Boston
Commons.

The Bra Banner.

The Nashville Banner made a
very handsome appearance in its
"big issue" of last Tuesday. The
paper, usually folio, swelled to
sixteen pages and possessed quite a
metropolitan aspect. The numerous
advertisements that adorned this
mammoth sheet and the general
air of business displayed, does much
credit to the enterprise of our Nash
vile contemporary. The Banner
is beyond all cavil one one of the
best papers in the State, and that
fact must be admitted by those who
have disagreed with it in political
sentiment. Its fearless, impolitic
and dignified tone commands re-
spect and marks its superiority over
the party serving organs that are
so common in this day and genera
ton.

ONE of the new laws in Tennessee
makes it a felony to dispose of per-
sonal property that is under mort
gage or deed of trust. When the
amount of property so disposed OF
exceeds $50 in value, the punish
ment is imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for not less than one nor
more than five years. If the value
of the property is less than $50, the
court or jury shall have power to
commute the punishment to i'm
pTisonment in the county Jail for
any period less than one year in
their discretion.

PU6LIc SCHOOLS.

Upton county has set an example
liz the matter of public education
that should be followed by every
other county in the State. We learn
from the COvingtOn Call that at the
recent session of the County Court
the justices of Upton county "be-
sides levying tax for school purpo-
ses OF twenty cents on the hundred
dollars, devoted from one-third to
one-half OF the privilege taxes to
schools, and placed one dollar addi-
tiOnal on polls for school purposes.
The whisky sellers and keepers of
billiard and pool tables, etc., also
pay for school purposes a privilege
tax equal to that paid the State"
This is emphatically a move in
the right direction and worthy. of
high commentator. The Call is
correct when it remarks that ga tax
for public schools, properly conduct
ed, is the best investment in the
world for public money" Had the
State recognized that fact long ago,
she would not now suffer the stig-
ma of having next to the most IL
literate white population in the
Union.
Nothing better accounts for the
superior wealth and advancement
OF the North over the South than
the attention given to public schools
in the former section and their cor
responding neglect in the latter. At
a very early period, a long time
antidatiDg the Revolution, Boston
had well regulated system OF pub
lie schools with compulsory attend.
ance laws. Other New England
towns, and finally the States, adopt
ed like institutions and their en-
igrants who settled the great
NOrth-West were brought up to re-
gard good public school system as
an indispensable institution for any
enlightened community. The effect
in inducing immigration and build
ing up the country was wonderful,
and the growth of the North was in
striking contrast to that of the
South where different sentiments
prevailed. The Virginia planter
who was able to send his sons to
Oxford and Cambridge and give his
daughters finished education
across the seas, didn't recognize
the necessity of public school sys-
tenn, as the poorer Puritans of Bos-
ton did. He thought public school
was an institution for paupers and
that his children would be disgraced
by attending one. That kind of an
idea got such a hold on the South
ern mind that it is only recently
that good citizens in this section
have begun to patronize public
schools. The consequence has been
that many people of the poorer
classes have grown up in absolute
illiteracy, and we are put to shame
with the figures that the late census
brought out. For the benefit of our
readers who may not have observed
the figures we quote below tabular
statement showing the per cent.
of illiteracy among the t0hites of the
South and those of the North:

Church Dedication.

The Louisville Christian Advo'
cate has long account of the dedi'
cation of the Second Presbyterian
Church at Covington, KY. on the
18th ult. Rev J. It. Plunket, who is
graduate of the University located
here, is the pastor. The following
is the description given of the
church by the Advocate:
The Second Church Covington
has been completed. The plan OF
the structure is admirable. The
end near the street is the Sunday
school room. Along the two sides
of this room are walks leading to
the vestibules, from which doors
open to both the Sunday school
room and the main auditorium.
This is just beyond and separated
from it by movable glass parti-
ton. The pulpit is at the farthest
end. The main room will seat five
or six hundred persons, but by re-
moving the glass doors, the other
room is added and the capacity is
increased to about seven hundred.
The room is octagonal; the ceiling is
concave, rejecting the voice advan-
tageously and giving excellent ac-
oustic properties. The building and
grounds cost $3S, 900. 1t was dedic-
ted March Is. The pastor Rev. J.
T. Plunket was assisted by Rev. w.
III. Felix ofthe Baptist church with
which they had been worshipping)
and Rev. J. w. Walden formerly
of Mobile) pastor of the First Pres
byterian church. The church is to
be congratulated on securing both
pastor and a sanctuary after such a
long deprivation.

Sergeant Mason Aq1in.

Some sentimental hoodlums at
the North are again petitioning for
the pardon of Sergeant Mason.
Mason's crime was almost rs bad
as Guiteau's, if not equally so. The
soldier who attempted to murder
the defenseless prisoner whom he
was detailed to guard is at heart a
cowardly assassin, and his crime
was not paliated by the character
of his intended victim. The Juror
raised at the North about "Bettie
and the baby" and all that, was
very disgusting bosh. Let Mason
serve out his eight years-he de-
serves more. This matter has so
far worked very satisfactorily-Gul-
teau was hung and Mason is in the
Penitentiary. Let the sentence of
the law be carried out.
