VERY UNSATISFACTORY.
Paralysis the Only Feature Of the Local oil
Market,


Yesterday brought to close what the record
shows to have been the dullest month ever ex.
perienced in the local oil trade, There were
few fluctuations and very limited demand
for the product. The outside interest disap.
peared altogether.
Yesterday the market opened at the lowest
figure OF the year and steadily weakened until
near the close. which was q small fraction bet
ter than the lowest quotation, but Ike under
the opening.
There wasconsiderable trading in the way of
switching the option, selling &c tober and buy
ing November. but there was a general disin-
clnation to assume obligations in the unsatis-
factory condition of the market. The opening
and highest was 7S5s, lowest n, closing 77s6

THE POLL TAX Law,

THE introduction of a bill requir-
, ing every man who votes to pay his
7 poll tax in advance of voting, was
W the occasion of an exhibition of i'll
feeling as well as of some bursts Of
elceuence on the part of some Dem
ocrats as well as of some Republi-
~ cans; for belt known that the De-
( mocracy have quite number Of
poor men who never pay poll tax.
Asa question Of right every man
ought to help support the State and
= county government, as every man
: demands protection and receives
1t, and being thus favored he ought
to be willing to assist in maintain
ing that government. While it is
and will be some trouble to take a
receipt. along to the polls, yet a rich
man has to do the same thing; so
,hs that all men who are subject to a
-poll tax are'paaced upon level.
The TIMES has no fault to find
with the principle, as it is now the
law of the State.

EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO.

The best education the negro can
get is an education which prepares
him for work which will prove re-
munerative to himself and beneficial
to the country. The great trouble
in the false conception he has of
shook learning" He imagines that
it is something which per Sc lifts
him above his fellows, and he pnr-
sues it with the idea that it will en-
title him to live like gentleman
without work. The kind of educa-
ton which teaches him that labor is
honorable and prepares him for it
by effective training is the best edu-
cation he can have. His usefulness
as factor in industrial development
is thereby increased. Nashville
American.
The TIMES is always pleased when
other papers take the right stand on
great question and while it agrees
in the sentiment advanced in the ex-
tract from a general article, it may
not agree with the paper in the rea-
son behind the one given. The
TINES not only endorses it SO far as
the colored people are concerned
hut believes it is the true doctrine
for all white men too. We believe
every county in the state ought to
have a chronological school, for both
sexes, so that each student when ed
ucated will be able to step out into a
practical business life. Nine tenths
of our advanced schools are founded
upon wrong principles. The teach
ers in all these schools refer their
tudents to the disreputable calling
of politicians instead Of honorable
labor, with its grand rewards.

A DRUNKARD'S PROMISE.

A few days ago a conversation
on the promises of a drunkard, was
held between three or four persons,
in our presence. 1t was stated that
the promises and resolutions of a
drunkard could not be depended up
on. The reasons offered was that
the will of the drinker was ruled by
his appetite, one that is overpower.

long experience, for sixty years, we
have never known a single instance
Of security from it. The promises
ola drunkard cannot and will moi
stand two whole hours under temp
tation. We have known him to g
voluntarily before magistrate an(
take an oath, that he would never
drink another drop Of liquor, and a
the first opportunity he was drunk
We have known drunkards to joil
church and profess religion and still
get drunk. Therefore the Bibl
says "cursed is he who putteth thu

their religious faith. 1t has often
seemed to me, and have often so
expressed it in the North, that no
part of our country can furnish rela.
lively so large a number of bright
naturally gifted youths as in Eat
Tennessee. Parents owe it to their
children to give them all the infor-
nation easily within their reach.
Every family should have at least
one good pap'r, giving the news in
their own county and state.
We have in the Maryville TIMES
one ofthe best family pa ers ever
saw. 1t is good reading for our
young people. Not only is it a pa
per free from Objectionable frivO-
lous trash, but it contains sound
moral and christian sentiments. l
wish every family in Blount county
would take this paper. One hen
will yield every owner, profit

chickens from one diligent prolific
hen, to the manor born, that, last
year, handed US from him one hun
dred chickens for market, and l
suppose the plucky old female is on
hand to do the same this year.
Such farmer as that can take a
paper and suppose he does. If he
does not, l hope his old faithful
fowl will protest and refuse to do
any thing more to meet his family
expenses, unless he will promise to
feed his children with some intel
lectual nutriment out of the Mary

WE like the push of the Nashville
American asa news gatherer, but
dislike its vindictive exhibitions
against all who do not see as it sees.
Nindictive personality is not the
way to discuss questions of public
policy. 1t wishes republicans to be
like little chickens, gathering under
the wings of mother hen for warmth,
and like lambs bleating for their
mother as they skip over the field,
while mother hen clucks with her
feathers standing up, and the old
sheep stamp and paws as the fear
less lambs jump and hop, so the Am
, erican flies into an inconsolable pas
sion when republicans name the
short comings of the democracy.
