THE WEEKLY PRESS,

The editorial below is taker from
ehe Knoxville Tribune of the 18th.
We have eliminated the partisan part
of it.
The combined power of the count
ry press is great influence in behalf
of any cause it espouses, and it can
generally be depended upon to es-
pouse the cause of justice and right.
The country paper is close to the peo-
pie; it is familiar with their wants .and
needs, and it reflects their sentiments
and opinions. 1t can have no motives
or interests that are contrary to the
interests ofthe people, for what is to
its interests is to the interests and ad-
vantages of the people upon whom it
must depend for its support. The
country papers are great factor in
promoting and developing the materi-
al interests of the country, and have
done and are doing much in the great
and wonderful work OF advancement
that the country has made and is max
ing. Every good citizen should be a
a subscriber to his county paper, for
he will generally find it faithful friend
and an untiring worker in the interest
of his county.
We venture to say that there is not
legimate newspaper in the State that
received penny that it was not hon.
estly and honorably entitled to during
the entire campaign. The news pa

V6 THANKS.

In this world of ours, even in the
case of the most wretched, there
seems to bsssomething to be thankful
for when ne annual Thanksgiving
day comegb$kspd.
As soisS a3Shas said: "A1e We
poora We might DE beggars. Are
we beggars. We might be lepers.
Are we lepers? Our sickness Wight
be unto death. Is it unto death.
We have yet heaven beyond" All
have chance to be thankful We
can give thanks surely if we are in
health of body and mind. Even in
sickness there rs much reason and &C.
casion for grateful heart. Ii we are
in trouble it might be worse. If our
dearest and best friends have died and
left us alone there might be poorer
company than ourselves and those
friends are not here to suffer. Poor
indeed is the man or woman who can
not find something for which to be
thankful. We can give thanks that
we live in glorious, free America, the
land blessed above all Others in moral
educational and scientific matters.
Poor, sick and sad though we may be
yet living in this land of light and
beauty with the overuling hand Of
an allwise Providence pointing and
directing us to the right way we still
have abundant reason to give thanks.
If we have been inclined to grumble
and be discontinued with our lot let IL:
all give that up for one day and think
Gully of,
THE ia, ors every year made new!
The gifts with rain and sunshine sent!
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames eur discomfort"
If the above in the least, be true
then,
lie. us with gladstone mind,
Praise he Lord for he is kind"
If we do this we have the promise
that,
His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure"

STAND BY OUR CotORS.

We have no sympathy or use for
the weak tneed Republicans who
wish to abond their doctrine at the
first defeat. We believe in protection.
Our party is founded on that princi-
pal. If we honestly believe our doc
trine to be the best for til. country
this set back should make us work
more earnestly for its adoption. If
the Democrats stick to their platform
they will do more to demonstrate the
necessity of Republican protection
than our own party can do.
The people will need only one trial
of a revenue tariff and after that the
Republican melnenium will come for
a thousand years. Then will come
the Glands of sweet deliverance and
those palms of victory"
Let us still stand for our grand
American policy of Protection until
some other policy is demonstrated to
be better. They who falter because
of one defeat are towards and de-
serve not the respect of brave, free
born Americans. We have just met
our second Bull Run, "a was the
first, now as we look ahead we cannot

ROCK THROWING.

The TIMIs wished to be recorded
as in no way sympathising, or approx
ing Of the rock throwing at the Demo-
cratic rally Saturday night And in
saying this We are sure we are voiCing
the sentiments of the best Republi-
cans of the town. We are very sorry
anything OF the kind happened and
although We do not know who it was
that did the throwing, we do know
that it either was some thoughtless
boys or persons who did not think
much of their own or their towns
reputation. All of the better class of
Republicans that we have talked with
express themselves as sorry there,
was any disturbance, There is al
ways a certain element in all townsthat
cannot be controlled and it was this
crowd that caused the trouble.

THE A. B. c. OF ROAD MAKING

The ideal road is one whose sur
face is level, solid and smooth. The
nearer a road comes to this ideal the
better it is.
A road should be as near level as
possible, to advoid unnecessary lift'ag
of roads. An immense amount Of
work is done raising loads up steep
hillsides, only to run down the hill
again on the other side, and reach
their destination at near the same level
as the starting place. A power that
will draw 1000 lbs on a level dirt road
will draw only $40 lbs up an incline of
fifteen feet rise to every 100 # horiz-
ontal. Now suppose your wagon
weighs 1000 lbs, and the road to be
travelled has one or more hills where
the incline is fifteen feet to the humid
red and suppose your team can

RUBEN L. CAFES.

Blount County is proud of this
young man. He is scholarly, upright
and honorable. He is,a young Dem
ocrat, and although majority of
the citizens of the county do not agree
with him in that yet, he is respected
as young gentleman of integrity.
He made short clean, neat speech
at the Democratic rally, Saturday
night, which differed SO much from
the foul mouthed speech of the fellow
who proceeded him that the audience
could scarcely believe it was breathing
the same air. He spoke Of many of
his best friends as being honest Re
publicans and his kind and courteous
treatment by all of them wkile in this
county. His speech was manly and
such as a generous victor would make
over fallen foe. There was not any
calling of names and kicking tho
roughly beaten party. 1t tended to
restore that fellowship and good feel
ing which should always EXIST between
true Americans no. matter to which
party they belong. We predict that
this young man will some day stand
high in the counsels of his party and
we do not hesitate ito say his party
Will be the6etter for it.

should follow the example of the rail-
roads and pick the best routes for our

condition is wretched beyond descrip-
ton. Meetings are being held, the
cable informs us, in the agricultural
districts to denounce free trade, and
farmers are universally demanding a
tariff to protect their products.
The difference between the farmers
of Britain and America is simply that
the former have tried free trade and
know what it is, while the latter have
only heard it described by Democrat
ic orators. Wisdom will come in time
to them, as it has come TO British ag-
riculturists.-N. Y. Press.

day night, September ], at the State
Fair, as the horses come tearing down
the track and beneath the wire. under
the bright glare of the electric arc
lights. A good race under ordinary
conditions has an intense attraction
for every one, but the races to be held
on the evening OF the opening day Of
the West Virginia State Fair, on a
course brilliantly Illuminated bypow-
erful electric lamps, will be sight both
indescribably novel and wonderfully
fascinating.
The electric light races will be called
at n o'clock sharp. The track will be
illuminated by twenty lamps, each OF
1000 candle power, distributed at inter
walls around the circuit, while the home
stretch will be perfect blaze OF light
Thirty-fve hundred spectators can now
be seated in the grand stand, and thou
sands more can witness this pretty
sight from the quarter stretch.
These will be the first night races ever
held in this part Of the country, and to
insure their success the management
has had the electric apparatus thor
oughly tested, everything proving sat
isfactory beyond all expectation, as
the powerful rays emitted by the lamps
penetrated almost every part Of the
grounds, while the effect on the course
and quarter stretch was grand. The
light was SO strong that at every point
on the track the horses that sped
around, on the evening OF the test were
as easily distinguished as by the light
Of day, while the background Of gloom
lent additional beauty TO the scene.
The races will consist OF a free-for-all
pace, which will be very fast 2:40
trot and running race. The pace and
trot will be mile heats, best three in
five, and the running race will be half
milo heats, best two in three, thus
making an exciting programme for the
evening.
Owing to the unusual number of
special attractions during the week, the
electric light races will positively be
given only on the one night.
