during April.
Teachers are in attendance from
Car,oli, Washington, Benton and
Madison counties.
Teachers may enter at any time
and attend for the full term, or any
fractional part of the term.
The teachers in attendance are
we'll pleased with the instructions.
The greatest good feeling prevails
and the works moves along gradn-
ally. State Supt. Shinn says five
hundred teachers are showing their
appreciation of special training for
their work.
1t will be the old story verified,
the fittest will survive. Teachers
who donot realize that it is neccessa-
ry to take professional training viii
wake up some day to find their oc-
cupation gone.
Teachers of the Eastern District
of Carroll we look for you before
the term closes. Come if you can
only stay one month.
Very Trul y,
c.. S. BARNETT,
Pricipal fifth Congressional Dis
trict Normal.
The work of the State District
Normal is progressing with accu-
racy and clearness.
We have fair enrolment already
and expect to have one hundred in
attendance before long,as new ones
are joining US every week.
Those who are in attendance are
aware of the valuable instructions
they are daily receiving from our
efficient instructors, and show by
their close application that they in
tend to make the most of this gold
en- oppo, tunity.
The oldest teacher among us is
seventy-two years of age and has
taught forty-two years. He very
often gives us bright ideas from his
wide experience as a teacher. He
knows about the "blue back spell
Ter" and the old log-cabin school
house.
We have about twice as many
young ladies in the Normal as young
gentlemen. We have the honor of
two pairs of twins-four blushing
young ladies. Two of them are ex-
perienced teachers, the other two
preparing to teach. l think the
teachers OF the district do not know
what they are missing by not at
tending this Normal.
Each instructor is very competent
in his line of work, and, with Prot.
Barnett as .Supt., also instructor,
the State District Normal will
certainly be power for good.

late by simply scratching on ono
side. Yet if we scratch on either
side of a large rock the sound is
conveyed tc the other. The wave
theory teaches that if the great or
gan-pipe, which produces sixteen
vibrations second or the lowest
note, should be sounded in connect
ion with a mass of iron, the tone
thus produced would travel through
the mass in vertable waves. Sound
travels through air 60 , Fahrenheit
l ,l2O feet second, and seventeen
times faster through iron, it must,
therefore have velocity of 1000
a second in iron. Dividing the dis
tance a sound travels in one second
by the number of vibrations we
find the wave-length to be 1,190
feet from crest to crest. The law
which governs all waves shows that
with wave of this length the
depth of furrow should be over one
hundred feet. In this wave-theory'
is demonstrated to be false, because
it is impossible to see any wave in
a mass of iron, when sound is pass
ing through it, even with a very
powerful microscope
Another supposition which ISIS
part of the wave theory and upon
which it's strongest advocates place
considerable stress is, that these
condensations produce heat and the
rarefactions cold, but there is sur
plus of heat produced sufficient to
add one-sixth to the velocity of
sound, Hence, if a locust should
be seated on a mass of iron while
singing it would very soon bring
that body to white heat; because
when iron is heated it cannot be-
cooled Immediately, and as rare
faction follows instantly after a con-
densation will not have had time
to subside before the next conden-
sations comes. If there is any truth
in the theory every succeeding
wave could not keep from raising
the tempature of the iron. But it
has been ascertained that not the
slightest heat is produced by the
transmission of sound through iron,
or any other solid, no matter how
intense or how long the sound may
be continued. If sound having
an actual wave-length OF l 100 feet,
and a depth of amplitude so small
that the most powerful magaitying
glass fails to reveal it, then how
much does the sound lack of
straigt course? If a line were
drawn l, 100 feet so nearly straight
that a magnitying glass could show
no deviation, who would hesitate to
pronounce it a straight line? We
believe, therefore, that we are justi-
fed in asserting that sound follows
a direct path when passing through
any substance. The corpusculAr
theory claims that sound radiates
from the sounding body in straight
lines, and these primary systems
of corpuscles radiate secondary sys
TENS in straight lines and so ON, per
meating all parts Of the conducting
medium.
Contrary to the general idea it
has boen proved that fog-horns
and steam sirenes are often heard
farther against the gale than with
it. This being the fact we natural
ly come to the conclusion that
sound is carried by some other sub
stance than air waves, and, also.
that is corpuscles, for neither Of
these can travel against = gale.

of keeping them in repain is esti-
mated at ten. per cent annually of
the cost.
A correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer estimates that the yearly
fence tax of this country-a tax
levied by ourselves upon our
selves-amouts to more than the
total expenses of the Federal
Government! Why do we tax
ourselves in this outrageous
manner? To fence out lot OF
stock that is not worth fencing in;
for if they were worth fencing in
their owners would fence them in,
and would treat them as stock
ought to be treated.
Let any farmer sit down and
consider how scanty the living is
which stalk can pick up outside,
and how he has to feed tn EN- auy.
how, halfthe year, to keep them
alive. and how much the quality
of the stock kept on hand would
be improved by the fencing-in sys-
tenn. LIE, him figure up how much
the fence in his neigborhood cost
to build them, and the yearly IN
terest On that outlay, and the year
ly cost OF repairs. Then let him
estimate the value of the loose
stock that ranges around him, and
that he has gone to all this trouble
apd expense to fence out; and l
think he will find out that every
loose COW and hog costs the COM
muuity in which it ranges at le: st
ten times its value every year.
Is there amp reason why we
should continue to tax ourselves in
in this way, year after year? Is
there any sense in it? Are not
the tariff tax and the pention tax
and the state tax and the county
tax and the DEVILS tax heavy
enough, that we should thus volun-
tarily strap this monstrious addi-
ftional burden upon our ediotic
shoulders?
Another thing that should be
rememb bered is the fact that rail
timber is very scarce and growing
scarcer every year, and that rails
made of tim Der last but few years.
Other argument might be adduc-
ed, but it seems to me that no ar
guments are necessary to convince
any sensible man that it is easier
to fence around a COW than to fence
around farm. Is there not some
better way of doing than our pres
ent way? Let us all think about it
and talk about it and write about
it and agree about it, and see if we
cannot by some MEANS get rid OF
this dip Man of the Sea that has
been hanging around our necks SO
long. We have burdens enough
that we cannot shake off; but this
one we can shake off very easily, if
we try.
It seems to me that all that is
needed is law making the owners
of loose stock responsible for all
the damage they do, irrespective Of
fences. The enforcement of such
law would not be dificult,-in
fact, it is in force in several Of the
states, and ought to be in all COM
munities whero the farming inter-
est greatly predominates. Think
what an immense saving in money
and labor would follow tho remov-
al of tho fence tax! Let us hear
from you, brother farmers, upon
this important subject.

GIVE Us THE TRUTH.

The SouCh needs the truth told of
it; therefore it needs a truthful his
torian. Not one that is preiudiced,
but just the simple, godly truth.
While Southern writers are now
claiming the attention of the reading
world, cannot one be found who will
turn his literary ability into clean,
truthful history OF the South-One
that q Southern school-boy may read
and not have to wonder which is cor
rect, the historian or his father, or
who was right, the editor of that book
or his mother?
The good Lord has sent many kinds
of things into this world the wisdom
of which we cannot understand;
the idiot with his vacant mind, the
murderer with his malicious hip
pocket and the lecturing woman who
persists in being man but the thing
of all things most baneful and hurt
full, because most lasting as being the
fool-preserving fluid of fraud, is the

moral thought should be sent to the
penitentiary and branded as crimi-
nal, because he has caused vice to
grow where virtue might have
blossomed; and a historian who will
write book to be used as the weapon
of falsehood is a particeps criminis,
aud should be branded the chiefest OF
all criminals because he originated
the thought and invented the weapon
to do the deed.
Let us have the truth, whether it is
for or against us. The South has not
been a saint, neither has she been a
traitor

EVERY citizen of Columbia should
feel it his duty to help the city make
the best impression possible upon the
thousands of visitors who will be here
from the 12th to the 18th OF this
month. One most effective way to
do that is for everybody to have not
only their own premises in perfect
order, but where they own vacant
lots to have the weeds and grass cut
and the fences whitewashed. We
have had our day of depression, let's
all pull together now and enjoy to-
gether a day OF general prosperity.

OF our climate, the remarkable diver
sity of our crops, the wonderful fer
tiIity of our lands, the matchleSs
speed of our horses, the richness OF
our cows, the untold rivulets that
water our stock and drain our farms.
Enough, perhaps, has been said OF
THESE, but too much cannot be salu.
What would the cold, blizzard-blight-
ed Northwest give for cur climate?
What would the cotton-cursed South
give for the diversity of our crops?
What would portions of our own
State, even, give for the fertility OF
our soil? What would the sun-blis-
tered portion of Texas, where they
say rain has not fallen for three
years, give for the springs and brooks
and rivulets OF old Maury?
What could we sell these advant-
ages for, and what would we take for
them? They are like and second
only to the blessing piOus mothers
and christian fathers give to child
bood-blessings too often not appre-
ciated until they are gone. They are
like the comfort devoted and dutiful
children give to aged parents-a joy
that makes light the load OF life..
Aside from these natural adj
vantages, Columbia has what few
cities of it's size has, railroad out
let North, East, South and West.
We think little of that now that we
have it, but how we would miss it if
it was gone. What would we take for
it? How much would the loss OF it
depreciate the value of Maury County
lands?
There is still another advantage
G. plumbia has that little emphasis has
been put on, though it amounts to a
great deal. Have you ever thought
what a convenient town Columbia
is? Because OF our railroad con-
nectiOns and geographical position,
Columbia gets more conventions than
all the sister towns immediately
around us.
On August the Legislative con-
vention for the county proper and
the Senatorial convention for the
counties composing this Senatorial
district, meet in Columbia. On
August %, the Congressional con-
vention for the Congressional district
meets here, and the day following the
FlOaterial convention for this
Floaterial district convenes in this
city. The Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the Tennessee Conference is
in session here now, and these meet
ings of one kind and another are OF
such frequent occurrence that Co
lnmbia people forget their benefits.
Columbia can be twice as large as
it is il our people will only awake to
a realization of the possibilities be-
fore them, and with united enter
prise and energy meet the demands
of the big occasion just before

the Sun says of the party:
That the party is by it's nature and
