Our School System,

For years school officers have
been working in state conventions
and other ways for the graduation of
our public schools and extension of
curriculum. Since my induction
into the Office of County Superin-
tendent l have labored that we
might not have only uniformity of
text. books bnt also uniformity of
study in all our schools throughout
the county. The results of our la.
bors are two very important amend
ments to our school law.
Now, there shall be two classes
of public schools, designated by the
by the District Directors, as Prima-
I ry schools and Secondary schools.
Both classes shall be graded. The
Primary school shall contain Ave
grades and the Secondary school
contain eight grades. In the Pri-
mary school shall be taught orthog-
raphy, Reading, Writing, Arithme-
tic, Grammar, Geography, History
of Tennessee, and United States
History containing constitution of
the United States, vocal music, and
the art Of public speaking may be
taught therein. No other branch
es shall be introduced in the Pri.
mary school.
In Secondary schools shall be
taught in addition to the branches
named in the Primary schools-El-
ementary Principles of Agriculture,
Geology of Tennessee, Algebra,
Geometry, Philosophy, Book-keep-
ing, Physiology and Hygiene, Civil
Government and Rhetoric, or High
er English.
For grading the Primary and Sec
Ondary schools of Blount County,
the model prepared by the State
Superintendent, as agreed upon at
the Normal will be used with one
exception. In the Fifth Grade
Whites Complete Arithmetic will
be taught in its entirity, instead Of
to the completion of simple interest,

tendent, unless it be in schools
where the pupils have access to
Secondary instruction.
! In order to put our schools in sue.
cessful operation under the new
: arrangement, or law, it is necessary
that every teacher in the county
: have a copy of the State Superin'
tendents "Circular of instruction
, and Regulations" Directors and
Justices of the Peace should read
them. Copies can be procured by
calling upon me or Major Cunning
ham at his Office.

The Knoxville Journal says
"Mr. Henry L. McCorkle. graduate
of the University of Tennessee, class
of 'S9, is now full fedged United
States Army officer" Under new
law recently enacted by Congress,

is allowed to nominate two Of it's
best graduates each year to be en-
rolled in the United States Army
Register to be called for when want.
ed. McCorkle was one of the lucky
number at the University of Tenn
essee the first year after this law
went into effect. He was called UP
to Washington for examination re-
Gently with twenty-three other
young men from various colleges,
and was one of twelve to pass the
examinations, which lasted a whole
week, and received on the first day
of August, his commission as Sec.
ond Lieutenant in the Army.
Though there were number of ap-
plicants, he is the only student Sc
lected from the universities south
of the Ohio River. This speaks well
for him and for the University of
Tennessee. Mr.. McCorkle will be
Second Lieutenant in the Infan-

ment now stationed at Montana.
Lieutenant McCorkle was great
favorite among his associates, who
will congratulate him most heartily
upon his remarkable success.

EDITOR TINES
Icannot remember the day when,
nor the circumstances under which
my heart was made more sad than
on Saturday last, when Mr.. William
Headrick, accompanied by his aged
father, brother and other friends
was brought to this place enroute
to the asylum at Lyons View. His
mind seemed very badly confused
and from his talk was wandering
ever the fields of religion, politics,
laws and death; yet lie seemed to
be easily managed by those who
had him in charge. At about one
o'clock q hack drove up in front of
the Court House, when the son was
led out by the father, and other
friends, and entered the hack,
he looked at his father and said,
"yOu have been my friend in war
and in peace" The unbidden tears
were already stealing their way
down the fathers face; this last ex-
preston brought sobs of grief from
his heart. 1t was plain to be seen
that many hearts heaved a sigh, in
sympathy with the father, his un-
fortunate son, and sorrowing family,
Mr.. Headrick is the son.in-law of
Mr.. J. NJ. Williams, an esteemed
citizen of the 14th district, in this
county. He is the father of quite a
large family, with whom he has
ever lived as dutiful husband and
a kind father. He was one of our
best citizens; man of quiet and
even disposition; peaceable and
obliging among his neighbors. He
was an ex.federal soldier, belonged
to the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry, and
in his confusion of mind he would
speak of his old comrades very
kindly. h
Mr.. Headrick is now in the asy.
lum, and his father, his family and
relatives in earnestly desiring that
the means may be blessed, and thai
soon the great dispenser of all good
may restore him to his family in
his right mind. F. NJ. w.

The Sheriff Skips.

JACKSON, March 5.-The Governor to-
day received a telegram that w. J. Cow
art, Sheriff and Tax Collector of Marion
County, had absconded with the funds.
Investigation at the Auditors Office
shows that he has complied with the law
in making his monthly reports. The
time for making his February settle
ment has not expired, and it is estimated
that he is behind with the State be-
tween So, 900 and s., 900. His indebted
ness to the county will be much larger.
Legal steps will be taken to recover the
money and apprehend the fugitive.
Cowart is the sheriff charged with bribe-
taking in the matter of permitting the
Sullivan-Kilrain fight to come off in
Marion County. He was indicted, but
if ever tried escaped conviction. After
the charge he was reelected sheriff.
Cowart is about 3s years old, 5 feet 8
inches high, slender, weight 14O pounds,
has light hair and complexion, clean
shaved and is of quiet disposition.

The School Book Octopus.

JACKSON, March Am interesting
school book case was decided today by
the Supreme Court from Copiah County,
the case of Middleton VS.. Lomax. The
points in the case, briefly, were about
as follows: On October 6, the time fixed
by law for the selection of books, the
committee was unable to make any Sc
lection, the vote being tie. On Octo-
Der II the committee was reconvened, a
new member having been appointed. A
selection was made of books not pub
lished by the American Book Concern.
Middleton, citizen, thereupon, in the
interest of the American Book Concern,
enjoined the County Superintendent
from contracting for the books selected,
on the grounds that the new member
added to the committee was illegal be-
cause she was not a taxpayer of the dis
trict from which she was appointed.
The Supreme Court made the injunc-
tion perpetual, holding that no legal
selection had been made. This leaves
the county without any legal books, but
as the American Book Concern had got
ten their books into the schools the de.
cision is victory for it.

1t Very Much DEPENDS.

JACKSON, March 3.-In the case of the
State VS.. Hemingway and sureties, a
final decree will be rendered next week
for the sale of all the property owned
by Hemingway and conveyed to o. J.
Wait in trust to secure his sureties. Ii
is thought that the property all told,
including the Dakota wheat farms, will
realize some $4,000 above incum-
brances. The deposition of Britton and
Koontz will be taken this week by the
District Attorney to prove the amount
and date of loans made by their bank to
the Treasurer. On this evidence, it is
said, will depend the liability of the
sureties on the bond from 1882. Should
the State be able to hold the first set of
sureties she will get in all S16O, 200.
otherwise $4,000. ......-
