DID tho ancient Jews Play Bailg


Herod the Great was the first Jewish
king who imported into his realm
Roman modes Of society life." His
theaters and arenas, after the Roman
style, were not to the national taste in
amusements, despite the fact that the
former were, SO to say, silently patron
lied by the Talmud in the saying, 'Let
us be grateful to the Romans for their
establishment of theaters, as they keep
the public from mischief, which Satan
finds for idle folks" The arenas were
not patronized ON account of the in
human performances given there. The
favorite Jewish national game at that
time was the kadur, or ball.
Whether it was played as sort of
lawn tennis or as national baseball is
not recorded. That the game was not
allowed by some rabbis to be played on
the Sabbath is q proof that the game re-
quired skill and labor. That the game
was patronized by the Talmud we infer
from its not being included among those
against which the Talmud opened a
crusade, condemning them as gambling
games. Boston Transcript.

announcement of Moore's arrest was made,
it having been discovered that he had q
wife living at the time he married Mrs.

TOLL ROADS.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee
said that Mr.. Rainey had forfeited
his right to charge toll over the Mt.
Pleasant pike, because of the bad
repair of The bridges and the road
bed. We supposed at the time, and
we are still OF that way OF thinking,
that the Supreme Court meant to say,
in substance, because of the bad
condition of this road, people who
travel it shall not be required to pay
toll"
If that was what the Supreme
Court meant, we do not understand
by what right, either in law or equity,
the people whc travel that road are
required to pay toll now. The road
as h whole, has not been improved;
the bridges have not Leen built; the
grades have not been lowered. If it
was wrong in Mr.. Rainey to take
toll over this rOad-and the Supreme
Court says it was-we cannot under
stand how it can be right for toll
money to be extOrted, simply upon
the change of ownership.
But to waive this question and
raise another. If the people are to
be required to pay toll before there
is really any toll road in existence,
in order to build road over which
legal toll may be collected, then why
not let the toll go that way and the
work OF the county prisoners go
somewhere else.
For instance, the people OF Will
liam sport have been wanting a toll
road for quite a while. They pay
taxes to feed these prisoners and to
pay their guards. Is it right that
they should pay these taxes to SUP
port hands who are building toll
roads for the county? Is it right for
the people north, south, or east of
Columbia, to pay taxes to build a
toll road to Mt. Pleasant?
II they were building free county
road, it would be quite different. For
when they had finished a road to Mt.
Pleasant, over which the people of
that favored community might
travel free, the county prisoners
could BE moved else where and build
a free turnpike road to some other
neighborhood. Aud we doubt not
here are county roads needing the
services of these county hands very
much worse than does the old Mt.
Pleasant turnpike.
To use the county hands and charge
toll, both at the same time, over a
road the Supreme Court has said the
people might use free, it seems to us
is piling it OIL rather thick.

YES, the HERALD, by its candor
and outspoken policy, does attract
the "fire of the enemy" and some
times gets so far into the thick OF
the fight that its more timid friends
refuse TO follow. At these times we
are more or less lonesome. But con-
ISOLATION comes by and by, and the
reward is all the sweeter for the dam
gers and troubles and waiting 1t
was the HERALD that organized the
Democratic party and brought about
the nominating system. 1t was the
HERALD that espOused the cause OF
Democracy at time when a secret
political society was supposed to have
the county in q swing. The HER
AID was doing this when some 9TH
ers whose names we need not men
ton were cOquetting very danger
Ously with the aforesaid secret pO-
IiticaI society. 1t was the HERALD
that first espoused Judge Turney's
cause in Maury County, and now
that Turney and Trrney Democracy
is on the top wave, the HERALD feels
entitled to a luxurious swim. There
will be other battles TO be fought
for Democracy and the HERALD will
endeavor to still attract the fire of
the enemy" Now is the time to sub
scribe.

WHEN man persistently follows
his own course, knowing that he is
wrong, he gets madden as things get
harder on him and goes on from bad
to worse, until, like a refractory,
angry child, he butts his head
against the back door from sheer
cussedness. Gov. Buchanan has
gone all the course but the last,
and if he comes out as an indie
pendent he will have accom- Plished
it all and have sore head the rest
of his life.
THE Courier-Journal says, regard
ing the Alabama election: "At this
writing it is not possible TO give
Jones' majority, but it is sufficiently
large for all practical purposes and to
show how utterly prepOsterous are
the claims put forward in behalf OF
the Third party movement. Kolb is
defeated, and his political career is
ended. A blow has been struck al
the Third party or the Adullimites,
from which it cannot recover.
A Kentucky legislator was accused
OF offering another bribe of $4,000.
In referring to the matter he said "it
placed him in an embarrassing posi-
ton" 1t is difficult to see how q
man who could offer a bride could be
embarrassed by the assertion unless
he failed to deliver the goods.
