agrees to settle the taxes annually

but goes along and pays little on
said property, also pays taxes, but
finally fails paying for his purchase.
The original owner says "well, my
friend, your time has expired and l
see you can't pay for this property.
Guess l will have to take it back"
'Oh, no sir, let me tell you I've paid
taxes on this property and 1 guess
when a person pays tax on thing
it is lawfully his"
According to II. z. WIS theory it
is his, but we are compelled to know
better. We are thankful to realize
that justice forbids a person doing
anything that is not justifiable.
He says elf one has erected a fish
pond on his own farm justice does
not object to his catching the fish
there with a net, but suppose
a stream containing fish flows
through my land to whom belongs
that part Of the stream embraced
within the boundary OF my land, |
and if own and pay taxes on it
haven't l as perfect right to seine |
the part enclosed in my boundary
as to seine my fish pend?' In re
ply to this proposition let us sup
pose a blacksmith has two sets of
tools. and he rents one set TO another
smith, but.still has to pay tax for both
sets and he becomes obsterperous
and claims because he has taxes to
pay for both sets that he has as
much right to use the rented set as
'he other. Justice forbids his do
ng so. So it is with streams that
low through farms. Justice OBJ

InoW that when a person constructs
fish pond he does it with energy
md skillful management and the
Weat OF his own brow, which gives
lim a better privilege to do as he
'leases with it than a mere creek
INNING through his farm. He ,
rected the pond himself, but the
reek he had nothing to do with,
or even its contents. That's the ,
ruit OF an indefinite being. We
idn't cause it to flow through our !:
arms, neither does the whole creek
elong to one man. A FRIEND.

Martin College changes hands at
the close of the present term. Prof.
Armstrong has secured a position
which promises to pay him better
than that of principal of this insti-
tuition. He sought in GA honorable
way and obtained q release from his
contract as such. The new man
agement will assume control next
month. 1t is an able one, but with
out the support of the people of
Pulaski and of Giles county no
management Of the school can sue
coed. Let US begin to think about
this matter now, before other plans
are perfected, and make arrange
ments to give TO this school next
term the patronage it deserves at
our hands. Pulaski cannot afford
to allow Martin College to fail, nor
can the people of the county afford
it. 1t has been the pride of our
people, and deservedly SO, as an in
stitution of learning and such it
should ever be. Let all those who
have daughters to educate rally to
the support of the new manage
ment and let the beginning of the
next term be the beginning of an
era in it's history nprecedented for
its prosperity. Our daughters must
be educated and unless an institu-
ton of this kind is properly sus-
tanned here we will have to send
them from home at an additional
cost. Every person in this commu-
nifty is interested directly or indi-
rectly in the upbuilding of Martin
College, and we bespeak that this
interest be made manifest next term
the time it will most need support.

Miss Sallie Shapard will resume
hef private school for children next
Septem Der, notice of which will be
given again hereafter. 1t is due
her to say that her connection with
Marion College has been entirely
satisfactory and PLEASANT to all con
cerned, but it was agreed at first
between Miss Shapard and the trus-
tees that change in the principal
ship of the college should leave her
perfectly free to take her school
back home. 1t may be proper to
add that though taught as a part of
and in connection with the college
her school has been taught in sep
arate building and as entirely and
distinctly under her supervision as
it ever was. She will be graJified
to have her friends and patrons not
forget her school during the discus
sions and changes and complica-
tions and confusion, which now
seem imminent and inevitable in
our community with reference to
schools, public and private. She !

Z Good School.

We learn that Miss Hood of the
College and Miss Susan L. Heron
Of Memphis, have leased Martin
Female College, Pulaski, Tenn, and
will open the school in September.
Miss Hood is recognized in Frank
lin as most careful and pains-tak-
ing teacher, and Miss Heron is we'll
and favorably known through her
successful work in the Mont Eagle
Summer schools. These ladies have
given much time and thought to the
study of ways and means of CON
Quoting schools, and being extreme
ly fortunate in the selection of their
faculty, it is fair to anticipate that
the people of Pulaski and vicinity
will have a good school. We are
told that it will be their aim to Sc
cure the great end Sc education
character building-by the wisest
and most natural methods. Art
will be taught as a means of mind
development, BEGINNING in primary
school and continuing until all the
pupils have fair command of that
natural means of expression. An
accomplished teacher viii preside
in the studio fer those who besire
to give special attention to the
subject.
The modern languages will be
taught conversationally to the whole
school.
The principles of vocal music,
etc., will also be
taught to the school as a whole.
Unexcelled opportunities will be
afforded to special students in vo-
cal music and languages.-Review

Tho Free School System.

The directors are proceeding as
vigorously as possible to put into
effect the new free school law in Pu-
laski. The first thing necessary to
this end is the collection of the
school tax. Mr.. Theo. Richardson
has been elected tax collector fer
this purpose and will begin at once
collecting privilege tax. The col
lection will be made as fast as cir
cumstances will permit, with view
to accommodating a sufficient fund
to begin operations.

sslf.Indulgenes Of the Law.

For the CITIZEN,
In the last issue of the CITIZEN
we had the pleasure of reading
piece entitled "The Cuff and Collar
Mans Law" by H. P. w. of Bethel
which indeed was interesting and
especially to these who think we
ought instead of gobbling up the
little fish let them gObble us up. He
or she appealed to our editor fer an
answer but If it won't intrade on
the meditation Of both II. p. w.
and our editor, l will give you a
few dots. In giving this subject
consideration, I ascertain that there
is properly no such law, for if you
apply only to those who wear cuffs
and collars you strike those who
don't fish much compared with the
patched breeches, ragged coat and
hoey- hat class. Besides if you
only include those that wear cuffs
and collars you make the law partial
only striking a fractional part of
the nation, so we need something
that covers the whole thing and
that is this. Self-Indulgence Of the
Law. That strikes us all, for we
are all more or less selfish whether
we wear cuffs and collars or not.
He says sit seems that this law is to
the interest of that GLASS of men
alone who are able to wear cuffs and
collars and spend a week at a time
with rod and tackle" Such men il
is true tackle great deal with the
big fish but GO to those streams
that are fished mostly and you will
see the very shabbiest men you car
start fooling with the rod and tack
lie and sometimes gobble up the bis
fish. The burden of his letter wa
to show that if a person is taxed
for his property he ought to have
right to do as he pleases with ii
but he failed to give substantial
evidence. For an illustration tax
