Stole a School Warrant,

One evening last week stranger giving
his name as Dennis appeared at the house OF
a Mr. Radford. six miles from Cent1eVllie,
and asked if he could spend the night there.
Mr.. Radford asseuled, Dennis passed the
night in the house and after taking break
fast departed. The same morning be arTIV-
ed at Centreville and presented to D. W.
Slade, the county treasurer, school war

an hour or TIVE, the county trea>ureT's sns-
picions increased and he sent an inquiry
about the matter out to Radford, where il
was learned that If Dennis had warrant IN
his possession. he had stolen II from among
some papers that were in desk IN the room
where he slept the night before. A posse
Of men Immediately started after Dennis and
captured him on the Ironton road about half

ing a speech from Senator Byrns, and we
must say it-was the best Democratic speech
we ever listened to. He did not say a word
that would offend or hurt the feelings Of any
one, but spoke simple facts that ten-Fear-
old boy coutd easy understand In speaking
Of the tariff, he illustrated many different
industries in which the manufacturer was
benefited, and not the poor man. For in
stance, he said: suppose merchant here
would sell d coat; say the price of that coat
was s., with the tariff of, and a man would
stand at the store door, and say, as the man
started out with the coat, Here must have
81 out Of that coat for tariff or protection; >
don't you know that man would kick like
mule, But still he is paying that same tax,
indirectly, every day he lives. And who
gets this tax OF tariff: 1t goes direct to the
manufacturers pocket" And the silver
bill: he handled il with gloves off. showing
il was the Wall Street Capitalist at the bot
tom of it And as TO the Force Bill he show
ed that it would be the most outrageous
law ever perpetrated on the people. But
the Globe Democrat says il Is dead issue,
and we must not say any more about 1t, as
they found il would net work. / don't see
how any poor man that is working for his
daily bread can support this tariff law, for
he Is giving third Of his daily earnings
TO the manufacturers.
Senator Byrns will speak at Des Arc in the
near future, and all laboring men are invit-
ed, and We will guarantee that be Will not
say one word that will rumple or wound the
feelings of any man RaDublican or Demo-

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1890-07-25

The notion that literature cal be taken
up as Il branch of education and learned at
the proper time and when other studies
permit, is one of the most farcical in our
scheme of education. 1t il only matched
in absurdity by the other current idea that
literature is something separate and apart
from general knowledge.
Here is the whole body of accumulated
thought and experience of all the ages,
which indeed forms our present life and
explains it, existing partly in tradition
and training, but more largely in books;
and most teachers think, and most pupils
are led to believe, that the most important
former of the mind, maker of character
and guide to action can be acquired in a
certain number Of lessons out of a text
book
Because this is so young men and young
women come NJ to college almost abso-
lutely ignorant of the history of their race
and of the IDEAS tAat have made our civil
Ization. Some of them have never read a
book, except the text books on the special
ties in which they have prepared them
selves for examination.
We have G saying concerning people
whose minds appear to be made up of dry,
isolated facts, that they have no atmos-
phere. Well, literature il the at atmosphere.
In it VIC live and move and have our be-
ing, intellectually. The first lesson read
to or by the child should begin to put him
In relations with the world and the thought
