WASHINGTON COLLEGE.

o for ye olden lays, when Webster's
spelling book was used and examina-
ton days were not known. The dark
cloud is rising, but we think we can all
weather the storm. Thanksgiving Day
dawned upon some clouded faces, for
1t had been raining during the night,
and it seemed that the sports of the
day must be abandoned. However,
the elements favored us at last, and we
had a fine day. A good thanksgiving
sermon was delivered by Pres. Cooter,
after which dinner in abundance WAS
spread in the college chapel. and the
one who could leave that table without
being thankful must live that way at
home all the time. In the afternoon
Our Boys"were again arrayed against
the Embreville boys for a gameOf base
ball which resulted in quite a victory
for the college club. Nextin order WAS
the tennis tournament, which had been
begun in the forenoon. Night came
before all the players who were listed
could exhibit their skill. The cham
pions of the court, so far as the game
progressed, were Miss Nora Cloyd and
E. II. Broyles. At Z O'Clock was the
joint societies entertainment, which
was pronounced creditable to the socie-
ties and the institution. After the ex-
ercises were over, Pres. COoter IN
nounced that the young folks could
sp, nd an hour or so in a social way,
and his kindness was shown to be APP
preciated in a truly thankful way. w.
E. May and sister, Miss Minnie, of
Jonesboro, spent Thanksgiving with
us. Miss Minnie seemed to be quite an
attraction to our boys, and one of them
remarked that he did hope that Will
would bring her back next time he
comes" Miss Bert Remine, of Lime
stone, has been visiting here for sever
al days. Prof. Ayres and wife have
recently moved to the college. Mrs.
Ayres is quite an acceptable addition to
our little village. Miss Lyons, of Knox
vile, who has been visiting her cousin,
Miss May Dobson, has returned home.

PRINCETON.

Last Thursday the Princeton school
gave an Entertainment in honor of the
day, Thanksgiving The exercises was
just splendid. The pieces recited by
the students were fine selections and
we'll recited. Prof. Church, of Union,
and a part of his school, were present
and took part in the exercises. After
the program of the school some very
appropriate speeches were made by Mr..
Hannah, Prof. Hudson, of the johnson
City graded school, Prof. Crouch, of
Union, Weldon Devsult and others.
Prof. Hudson spoke with regard to our

Col. G. G. SPEARS contemplates be-
ing a candidate for the State Senate
from the district composed of Sullivan
Hawkins and Hamblen counties. He
thinks he can get the Republican nomi-
nation, and is willing to run the risk of
being sacrificed at the polls. -Bristol
Courier.
There will be no sacrifice at the polls
in 1894. If Mr.. Spears is the Repub1i-
can nominee in that district he will be
its next Senator by such a majority as
will convince Democrats that the Nc
Kinlev bill still lives, moves and has
the same effect in Sullivan it had in

IT is we'll known that J%onesboro has
a large number of people who depend
wholly on theirlabor, to support them :
selves and families. 1t is true Of all
other towns and localities. 1t is also
well known that the panic not only eff
fected business, but has virtually de-
prived labor in this town, of employ
ment for some months past. We are
now entering the chilly blasts of win
ter, and find these people without work
and the means to secure the comforts
and necessaries of life. There has
been no reports of actual want or suf-
fering yet, but the conditions are such
that we are likely to be confronted with
both. In view of the surroundings
some steps ought to be taken to meet
the emergency when help is needed.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN'S message to the
General Assembly of South Carolina, is
& remarkable State document. If moth
ing else, he is uncommolly plain spoken.
There is no ~concealment, nc mincing of
words, mol delicate innuendo. In speak
ing of the attitude of the Federal Judi
ciary toward railroad taxes and receiv-
erships in South Carolina, he calls it an
"unholy alliance, judiciary tyranny
and a monstrous %tyrannical stretch of
authority" He is mad all over. In a
sarcastic way he says: But Alexan-
der Hamilton and John Marshall are
old fogies not to be mentioned in the
same breath with Judge Simonton and
Golf; and the Supreme Court, saturated
with the idea of its own dignity" etc.
Whence and wherefore this Guberna-
torial ebullitionY Only this: The United
States Courts have decided against the
State in suits pending against railroads
for unpaid taxes, the railroads making
their returns in their own way and dis
regarding the values fixed by the State
Board of Railroad Equalization.
Then the Governor had some misun.
derstanding with an officer of the Uni
ted States Court, and in his message
alludes to the language of this officer.
In terse and forcible English, but which
is neither smooth nor elegant, he says:
Is this the Language of a servant or of
a masterp II am not afraid" 81
shall f~ight"-'I." Who is l? The
humble receiver and servant of Judge
Simonton! Bah! The p%retense makes
me sick, and that aSoutb Carolinian,
who has been honored with the Federal
judicial ermine, should appear in SO
degrading an attitude. = Cincinnati
