The Winthrop Training School.

To the Editor of The Herald aid
News The following letter appeared
in the State, July "a:
Dear Sir:-In conducting the ex-
animation of applicants for scholarship
in the Winthrop Training School for
teachers to be held in your county, on
Thursday, July 2nd, you will please
conform to the instructions below.
Very Respectfully,
w. D. MAYFIELD,
State Supt. of Education"
This letter we suppose is to be sent to
the examining board yet to be ap-
pointed.
AS to what those instructions referred
to in the letter of Mr.. Mayfield are,
1 have no means of knowing. The
State further says, however, that the
qualifications OF applicants are different
from last year and are as follows:
"The successful applicant must be
eighteen years of age, of irreproachahle
moral character, in good health, with
no physical defects, habits or eccentri-
cities which would intefere with sue
ress in teaching, and must propose to
follow teaching as vocation"
We suppose that there will he no
change in anything else relating to the
examination. The applicants are usu-
ally examined in arithmetic, geogra-
ply, history of Z. S., reading, writing,
grammar and spelling.
The successful applicant will be en-
titled to the State appointment, equiva-
lent to $3.50 for session of nine
have received no notice from the
State superintendent in regard to the
examination, and consequently publish
the above without authority.
It is due the teachers, however, that
they should know when the eXamina-
ton takes place, so tnat they may have
the opportunity of appearing before
the examining board if they wish to do
so.
The notice should have been sent to
the examining board, whoever it may
be, at least two weeks ago that the
proper notice could have been given in
the county papers.
Respectfully,
ARTHUR kIBLER,
County School Commissioner.

ORIGIN OF TIE TROUBLE
Last week about 400 armed strikers
attacked the guards who had charge of
fifty felons at Briccville and liberated
them. Gov. Buchanan was Immediately
notified and responded by ordering two
companies from Chattanooga and one
from Knoxville TO the scene. OF the
fifty convicts taken from the guards at
Briceville, two escaped and the others
were brought TO Knoxville. When the
militia arrived they took the convicts

the log below, and in that which was
to be placed on top. So each corner

overlapping ends. The logs were
piled up, one above another. Just as

ers do not say that cabin is certain

that it Is ten logs high, or twelve logs
high, as the case may be. When the
structure is as high as the caves are in
tended to be, the top logs are bound
together, from side to side, with small
er logs fitted upon the upper logs of
each side and laid across as if thew

smaller logs laid across, endwise of
the cabin, and locked into the end of
each log in the gable until all are in
place. On these transverse logs. or
rafters, the roof is laid. Holes are cut
or sawed through the logs for the door
and windows, and the house begins to
look habitable.
The settlers on the Republican Fork
cut the holes for doors and windows
before they put on the roof and when
the layer of split shakes that made the
roof was in place, and the boys bound
ed inside to see how things looked,
they were greatly amused to notice
how light it was. The space between
the logs was almost wide enough to
crawl through, Oscar said But they
had studied log cabin building enough
to know that these wide cracks were TO
be "chinked" with thin strips of wood,
the refuse of shakes, driven in tightly,
and then daubed over with clay, a fine
bed of which was fortunately near at
hand. The provident Younkins had
laid away in his own cabin the sashes

these he had agreed to sell to the new
corners. Partly hewn logs for floor

back with them and warned the mob
that they would protect them at all
hazards. Gov. buchanan at once pro-
ceeded TO the seat OF trouble and OK
planned his position TO the rebellious
miners. He told them that il was
his sworn duty to uphold the law,
and II the convict lease system was
wrong he was not to blame, and that the
only recourse OF the men was through
the Legislature The miners announced
that their families were starving and
that they were compelled TO drive out
the convicts If it cost the life of every
man In the valley They made all sorts
of fun of the beardless youths, but de-
clared they would not harm the spider
legged, cigarctte.smoking dudes" as
they characterized the militia, but that
as soon as the militia were withdrawn
they would release every convict in the
region. Be- oming impatient, however,
at the delay in recalling the troops they
decided TO try TO overcome the soldiers
by force of numbers, and succeeded only
too well.
While there have been differences ex-
listing between the mine operators using
convict labor and the miners for years,
never did the people of Coal Creek and

be needed TO settle the differences be-
tween Fast Tennessee miners and con-
Wet operators But when it became evil
dent that another mine heretofore using
free labor was to be handled by the out
laws of the State there at once arose
mutterings of discomfort. Had the Ten
nessee Coal Mining Company not made
an effort TO put in convict labor instead
OF retaining the tree miners, it is
thought there would have been no call
for troops at the company's mines. The
people could have endured the convcts
they had had to fight against for years,
but when IL became apparent that more
free miners were to be displaced, and
work had to be sought elsewhere, a halt
was called Indignation reached fever

Building "a Log Cabin on the DesOIate

Log-cabin building was great fun to
the boys, although they did not find it
easy work. There was a certain nov
city about the raising of the structure

in learning the use of rude tools, that
lasted until the cabin was finished.
The maui and the wedges. the frow

all the other means and appliances of
the building were all new and strange
to these bright lads.
First, the size of the cabin, twelve
feet wide and twenty feet long, was
marked out on the site on which it was
to rise, aud four logs were laid to de-
