by its provisions and the construc-
ton put upon it by the democratic
election officers under the partisan
judicial rulings, it is designedly
confusing.
Notwithstanding the fact
that the vast majority of the
tax for school purposes is
paid by the land owners of
this State, and comparative
ly few republicans are posses
sors of real estate, neverthe-
less, the platform opposes
the Dortch law because of It's
requiring the payment of the
poll tax before being permit
ted to vote. The principal
tax paid by the cOlOred race
is that known as the poll tax
all of which goes into the
school fund; but as shown by
the platform adopted, the re-
publican party would have
the law that has increased
the school fund repealed. In
opposing the educational fea'
ture, it is evident that il
would, if the opportunity was
presented, place a premium
upon ignorance in order to
advance and render more 70
seate its prospects of victory
at the polls. Indeed The
platform will fail to recon-
mend itself to those who OPP,
, pose retrogression anC
repeal Of a law that requires
the payment OF taxes before
the casting of a ballot.

IT is, really, charged that
fraud was committed in the
Eighth Congressional Dis
trict held for the purpose of
nominating a democratic con-
gresham. Of course, there
can be no grounds for such a
charge because in that con-
gressional district the awful
gold bugs are hopelessly in
the minority and the very idea
of silverites committing fraud
is too absurd to be worthy OF
consideration. In this con-
gressional district a primary
is opposed by the free and
unlimited silverites because
they do say that the awful
awful, gold bugs so far have
departed from the path Of rec
titude as to occasionally stuff
ballot boxes. Now to assert
that unfair acts have beer
committed where the silver
sentiment is in the ascen
dancy would have the ten
dency of proving that the Op
position to a primary in this
district should be based OF
other grounds than that The
commission Ofunfair acts by
the gold bugs, for it is unrea
sonable to suppose that the
silver bugs of the Eighth ar,
sinners above all others.

Teachers Association.

The teachers of Hardeman Coun-
ty met at Bolivar, Aug. 8th., to
elect officers and to plan system
of work for the ensuing year. Supt.
/. n. Roland, President of the AS
ISOLATION, was absent on account of
sickness. News reached the Acad-
envy at IL o'clock, that the presi-
dent, could not be at the meeting.
Prof. J. 7. Hill, who was
vice president, called the house to
order near one hour after the APP
pointed time. Prof. Hill was cho-
sen president. The bylaws of the
Association state that there shall be
four vice presidents selected from
different sections of the county.
w. G. Robinson, J. X. Mcdaniel,
Misses Ella Ferguson and Lizzie
Hundley were chosen vice presi-
dents, J. G. Watson was elected Sec
rotary. A committee to systematic
the work and to arrange program
for the next meeting was appointed
by the president. Miss Fannie Nor
ment, Profs. J. X. Mcdaniel and
J. &. Watson were appointed.
1t was decided by the committee
that the work of the Association
should be devoted to branches in
cluded in the free-school curriculum,
including both Primary and SecOn-
Diary branches.
Supt. 1. n. Roland, NJ. d. Am
mons, w. L. Robinson and A. S.
Davis were appointed as a commit
tee to revise the bylaws.
The work of the next meeting,
Aug. 90, 1896, is a study of U. S.
History in the morning session and
Geography for the evening session.
All who are members of the AS
ISOLATION are expected to come pre-
pared on these subjects. An in
structor will be selected after the
meeting has been called to order,
hence, the necessity of each member
being we'll prepared on each subject
is obvious.
The work of this Association can
be made interesting and profitable,
the teachers of the county will
only set forth the proper effort to
make such. The work of the As
ISOLATION will not be devoted to the
study of the particular branch I'M
der consideration, but portion of
the time will be given to a discus
sion of the manner in which the
subject should be presented to the
class. Teachers, if you have had good
success teaching U. s. History and
Geography, come to the meeting
on the goth, and give those who
find it difficult to keep an interest
the secret of your success.

comments upon the Dortch
law in the following language:
We denounce the democratic poll
tax law as inductive to fraud and
bribery, and corruption of the cleo
tive franchise. 1t enables corrupt
party heelers to commit great
frauds, and it Is especially obnox-
ious because it does not admit of
proof of payment of the poll tax re-
ceipt or affidavit of its loss, and be-
cause it excludes all record evidence
and all other and better proof of
the fact of payment, and, further,
the poll tax law is a bar to worthy,
honest and capable poor citizens as
piring to public Office, for the rea-
son that poll tax has to be paid
largely by the candidates.
We denounce the registration
laws because not applicable to the
entire State, and only applicable to
such localities as may suit the dem
ocratie party for its purposes.

Lee II. Casey, They moved to
Hardeman County, Tennessee, in
the year 1888, where they lived hap
PLY together and prospered in all
their undertakings until 1914, when
Mr.. Casey was called to go home.
She remained at home with her
children until all were married.
She then broke up and went to live
with them. Mrs. Casey has been
the mother of six children, sixteen
grand children and nineteen great
grand children. She was loved and
respected by all. Many tears were

Mrs. Casey was eighty-fve years
old and has been sufferer for many

s'Yielding to the suggestion of
many leading democrats throughout
the district who urge upon us that
October 2, the date heretofore Sc

date for congress, will be busily en-
gagged and unable TO devote the

nience Of the people of the district,
we, the executive committee of the
Tenth Congressional District OF
Tennessee, do hereby order that the
date for holding the primary be,
and is hereby changed from Octo
der 7 to September 8. Upon thor
ough investigation, we are fully
satisfied that this change is IN the

all voters will be better enabled tC
attend a primary on the date named
September 3.
ssBe it further ordered that the
congressional committee to be com
posed of five members-two mem

COP in his wisdom dispen-
sed to some of his creatures
such qualifications as to ena-
bic them to judge rightfully.
The ability of such persona
ges is invariably recognized.
But there is another class
that may be termed volunta-
ry judges. To that class the
Lord has seen best not to be-
stow intelligence sufficient to
enable them to "see them
selves as others see them. y
Indeed it is not for us to
know why the Creator gave
to one ten talents, to another
five and to another one; but
it seems that He has placed a
stamp upon the latter class
that may be read by all men,
and that is in their becoming
the self-constituted judges OF
others. But this world has
been created too long for the
inhabitants thereof to have
not discerned, ere this, that
the one talent self-cOnstitu'
ted judges of others are to be
pitied rather than condemn
ed. Such judges never win
fame, nor are their decisions
respected. Historical events
prove that merit is essential
to success, and without that
characteristic, failure is inevi-
table.

SENATOR Ben Tillman, of

reason not engaged in the
