Party and Reform,

There is a vast difference between
the man who advocates party for the
sake of reform and the one who ad
vocates reforms for the sake of party.
The one will say. give me anything
labeled reform to get my party sue
cess and the other will say. give me
any party to secure this reform. The
true cause of reform is heavily loaded
with men who neither understand or
care for the reforms that are popular.
but are doing the most agitating in
favor of them job. Their ignorant
and erroneous support of measures
they do not understand is often strong
evidence against the cause.

The Irvine Trust.

For two or three years there has
been practical binding Irvine trust.
At present the trust appears to be per-
fected and in position to grind the
grain grower beneath its hard heel to
its hearts content. There is a law
against trusts. but the conspirator
against the public whose business is
that OF scientific plumber is cunning
enough to avoid the law in many
cases and when that is not true the
executors of the law are so easy
going or faithless that the people are
at the mercy of these combines. It
is difficult to determine upon i'm
mediate measures Of protection To
advocate the abandonment of the use
of Irvine is folly, for the people will
not follow the advice. We tried that
plan. one year and about all that was
accomplished was to inconvenience
the comparatively few who agreed not
to use twine. If all grain growers
would agree not to use it. they could
break the Irvine trust in one year.
The matter is simply. part of the
great work Of reform which is going
on. We must elect men to make our
laws who will enact sufficiently strin-
gent legislation to break up these
combinations and sufficiently compre-
hensive legislation that will make
evasion on the part of the plotters for
gain practically impossible. We send
men who pick our pockets to the PEN
itentiary if we can catch them. But
the trusts rob us. and we know it. and
we can lay our hands instantly upon
the robber. but he never gets within
sight of the yawning door of state 8
prison. This must all be changed
and there is none to change it but the
masses. Farmer Voice.

AN IMPORTANT SURJEcr.
National Ownership and Operation Of
Railways.

N2t1OHaA OWnerShlp and Operation OF
Railways.
The discussion over the proposition
for national ownership and operation
OF railways 10 causing the farmers to
begin studying questions which the
mining. railway and civil engineers
have had to study for many years in
regard to the cost of construction and
operation of railways and steamships
The cost OF moving a ton of freight
mile on the back of a man varies,
says the Toiler at various places be-
cause at some places men receive
more wages than at others. and for
other reasons
A man would have to make many
trips before he could move a ton OF
two thousand pounds. One man
would carry more. than another man
at each trip. Half the time of a man
would be lost who went loaded in one
direction and returned in the opposite
direction without load. Thus. to
move one hundred tons one mile, or
one ton one hundred miles bv differ
ent means of transportation. the cost
may be roughly compared as follows:

The Peoples Party papers are not
alone in accusing the great dailies with
being the biggest liars let lose. Here is
what the veteran journalist Noah
Brooks. said about them few years
ago Gully Forum. 1889 and it is just
as true of them, to-day as it was then:
The most obvious faults of the
daily newspaper OF the present day
are its inaccuracy and its partisan
unfairness. From these failings the
magazine is at least toleraoly exempt
The daily newspaper has become so
untrustworthy with it's looseness of
statement its disregard of truth. and
its often willful perversion of facts
that fair minded men sometimes say
that they find more satisfaction in
reading the journals of the party to
which they are opposed than. in those
OF their own political faith. No man
can be certain that he has found. the
truth anywhere in the newspapers un-
til it has been affirmed by majority
OF them all II the monthly maya
zine ever becomes a daily newspaper.
let us hope that its first and last pur-
pose in life will be to tell the whole
truth accurately. In the feverish race
to distance all contemporaries, the
daily metropolitan journals too often
throw decency and discretion.
to the winds. Things have finally
come to such a pass that none of these
will believe the others. They are all
busy in the discrediting of each
others news denying the accuracy of
each others reports. and undertaking
the enterprise of every one but one.
their own journal. In such state Of
things. what can be expected of the
general public. looking on at the jeal-
Gus contention from the outside? Is
not the impartial observer tempted to
say. as he often does: Gentlemen. you
tell the truth about each other?'"

Drowned in the HOlstOn.

George Hamilton was drowned in the
Holston River last Thursday. The re-
cent rains had SO swollen that stream
that it was IL feet above its usual
height. Hamilton, with some other
men, were coming down the river Just
above Yonkle's Ferry. A large wire
cable crosses the river at the ferry, by
means of which the ferry boat is
worked. The water was only within a
few feet of the cable. The men in
charge of the ferry cried to the
boatmen to steer to the shore, and the
cable would be cut. They saw that to
attempt to go under the wire would re-
suit in sweeping the boatmen into the
surging waters. The boatmen needed
not the warning, however, but went on,
thinking to cut the wire with an axe.
When the boat struck the wire it caught
for a minute ON the forward ore, then,
with added force, it slipped off and
swept over the deck, carrying with it
all the men on the boat except a negro,
who jumped over the wire. All the
men but Geo. Hamilton swan to the
shore. He could not swim and before
a boat could reach him he had sunk
beneath the angry waters for the last
time. His body was recovered some
distance below the ferry. He was bur-
led Sunday at his home in Sullivan
County.

COL. I. ii. REEVES
Resigns as President of the JOnesboro
School Board.

SCHOOL Board.
Col. T. H. Reeves, who has been
president of the board of directors of
the Jonesboro Graded School from its
inception, nearly ten years ago, to the
present time, has been compelled
through ill health to tender his resig-
nation, which has been reluctantly ac-
cepted by the commissioners of the
taxing district. TWAS mainly through
the efforts of Col. Reeves that the school
was first started, and to him is due in
large measure the success that has
crowned the enterprise. The reputa-
ton Of the Jonesboro school has been
that OF thoroughness, both in the
branches taught and in its discipline.
Scholars have come here to attend this
school from all over this county, and
even from other parts of the State, thus
showing the high estimation in which
it was held. The school at this time is
second to none III the State. 1t has a
full corps of competent and energetic
instructors, who, with Prof. Chas. Mason
at their head, keep the school in the
foremost rank. The school has never
deterioated, buthas grown in effective
ness from year to year. The young
and ladies hat have graduated
and left this school show in their intel
lectual development the wisdom of the
methods adopted and pursued by this
institution. 1t will be with sincere re-
greet that the people of this district
learn OF the resignation of Col. Reeves,
for they all recognize and feel the
great influence for good he has had on
our school. All the patrons of the
school join us in the hope that Col.
Reeves will soon be restored to perfect
health.
