sentiment than the adoption anG

But after all, it is to the parents
of our boys we must look for help
IN disabusing their minds of the
prejudice they have againt trade
learning. To them must the vast
industries of the country look for a
home supply of skilled workmen in
the future, and the sooner they sue

sooner will their.boys realize the fact

They need have no fear that
their being a skilled mechanic will
Interfere with chances in the future
with their ambitions and their
hopes of public preferment. Ener-
gy and enterprise, honesty and
intelligence will readily surmount
all obstacles in their desire for
fame, as illustrated in the person of
Franklin, the printer, who became
the philosopher and diplomat of his
age; of Morse, who harnessed the
lightning drawn by Franklin from
the clouds and put girdle around
the world; of Henry Wilson the
shoemaker who became vice-presi-
dent, and Andrew johnson, the
tailor, who became president of the
United States. They must be
taught, too, that there is no posi-
tion in life--in this great republic
for which they are not more di-
rectly in the line of promotion as
an intelligent mechanic than they
would be as high school graduate
The fact is we have too much
high school and too little industrial
teaching-too much theory and too
little practice, and but far the form
er.when the great majority of our
boys have acquired the rudiments
of a common school education,
they would naturally turn their at
tention to something more practical
than the sedentary pursuits for
which it fits them. The abolition |
of the high school, therefore,
would practically amount to com
pulsory trade-learning and conse-
quently an increase of intelligent |

never more seriously felt than now.

How to Foretell Weather.

The Farmers Club of the Ameri-
can Institute has issued the follow
ing rules for foretelling the wealth
er. If the farmers and others, whose
business is out of doors, and de-
pends on the weather, will closely
study the following rules, they will
be able to guess the weather more
accurately than Virgins or Vennor
1. When the temperature falls
suddenly there is a storm forming
south of you.
2. When the temperature rises
suddenly there is a storm forming
north of you.
8. The winds always blow from
a region of fair weather towards a
region where a storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move
from a region where a storm is in
progress to region of fair weather.
5. Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather to q
region where a storm is forming.
6. Where cirrus clouds are NOV
ing rapidly from the north or north
east there will be rain inside of
twenty four hours, no matter how
cold it is.
Z. When cirrus clouds are NOV
ing rapidly from the south or south
east there will be cold rain storm
on the morrow, if it be in the sum
mer, and if it be in the winter there
will be a snow storm.
8. The wind always blows in a
circle around storm, and when it
blows from the north, the heaviest
rain is east of you, if it blows
from the south, the heaviest rain is
west of you; if it blows east, the
heaviest rain is south; if it blows
from the west, the heaviest rain is
north of you.
9. The wind never blows unless
rain or snow is falling within 1,00C
miles of you.
10. Whenever heave whity frost
occurs, a storm is forming within
1000 miles of you.
All who see this in this paper,
cut it out and study it and be

In the senate last Tuesday the
Mormon bill was being considered,
when Senator Brown of Georgia de
livered a prepared speech on his
amendment, making adultery the sole
cause for divorce in the district of
Columbia, and territories Of the
United States. The speech was
somewhat remarkable in differing
from pupular opinions in regard to
Mormanism Mr.. Brown recognized
polygamy as an immoral and VI
cious, but said an immense amount
of cant and hypocricy was brought
to It's consideration. People abhOr-
red it in Utah, but winked at it in
other sections under different
names. He contrasted Massachu-
setts with Utah, in regard to mo
nogamy, properly so-called. The
Mormons, he said, supported their
wives and offprings; the libertines
of New England denied all respon-
sibility for the results Of their vice
and immortality. A nation of Nor
mons was impossible, but the hosts
of ibertines were springing up eve
rywhere. Prostitution was ram
pant and crime and foeticide alarm
ingly on the increase. He was ready
to sanction all constitutional legis
lation for the suppression of polyg
amy, and to suppress illegal divorce
prostitution and foeticide in New
England and elsewhere, but he was
not willing to violate the oath he
had taken to support the constitu
ton to crafty New England sen
timent, or suppress any sect or de
nomination, however unpopular
He could see no difference between
the polygamist of Utah and al
adulterer of New England; and il
was unjust to pass laws to punish
one and let the other go scot free.

A Dream Of an African Empire

Ns L OlODe NNoBIO OIgaH-I
Tropical Africa contains what
the world wants. 1t is a country of
exhaustless resources. This will
lead to humane intercourse with
foreign lands, the introduction of
improved agricultural and manu-
featuring implements, steam en-
gines, railroads, printing presses,
machines, ''and the thousand pro-
cesses and appliances by which the
comfort, progress and usefulness of
mankind are secured" Growth
and development will come from
within, not from without. The
spirit of modern progress will be
Africanized. People of the same
blood, dwelling together on the
same soil, having the same aims,
aspirations, and interests, will unite
and move on in the same liaes. A
great mind will be the product of
the changes and growths that are
even now taking place in tropical
africa. Influences will go out of
Liberia and Sierra Leone that will
give shape to such a political posi-
bility as the African Empire. Per
haps the great African general and
statesmen may come out of one OF
the other of these two countries.
Many a man has been laughed at
as ga dreamer" whose dreams have
come to pass in living realities.
Truly has it been said, "The evolu-
tions of fact are sometimes stranger
than the romances of fiction" The
bible contains the prophecy, "Ethi-
opia shall suddenly stretch forth
her hand unto God" We believe
that this prophecy shall he fulfilled
Influences will work as leaven in 9
lump until an African Empire shall
suddenly arise among the Ethio
plans, and men will cry, GA natior
is born in a day."

Capt. Eolt's Death.
NASH. TEX. Nav 25th

NASH, EA., May ZOGn OF.
Mr.. Editor:-It is with profound
grief that I write to inform your
people of the death of Captain E.
W. Holt, who recently died at this
place.
Capt. E. W. Holt was born in
Giles county, Tenn, about the year
1928. He was educated at the old
Cumberland University. When he
left college he chose teaching as a
profession. About thirty years ago
he was married to Miss Eliza Wat
son. Capt. Holt led a company
through the late civil war and was
regarded as one of the bravest and
most chivalrous officers of the COM
mand in which he belonged. Since
the war he has taught school in
Giles and adjoining counties until
threelyears ago, at the request oft he
Giles countians who have emigrated
to aTexas, he came here to teach
school for them.
Capt. Holt has always stood in
the front rank of his profession,
and since he has been here he still
sustained his reputation. When he
came here he found the people in a
deplorable condition in regard to
schools. By almost superhuman
efforts he has built up a good
school for them. He was univer-
sally admired by all with whom he
met. BY his scholars and the pa
irons of the schools he was loved.
He had been unwell previous to his
sickness, but was still faithfully la
boring at his post, until sthe 9Th OF
this month he was unable to get to
the school room. He requested the
writer, a pupil of the school, to take
charge of it and finish the present
term, saying that he would never
more be able to teach school. Il
was soon ascertained that he was
stricken with typhoid fever. HI
continued to grow worse and on the
10th his case became alarming
His wife,who was in Tennessee, was
telegraphed to and her presence re
quested at his bedside. The best
medical aid in the county was
called in, but to no avail. He lin
gered, most of the time in an uncon
scious state until just at
o'clock, p. NJ, Tuesday, May goth

were inferred at Glenwood on tn,
