Forget Politics.

1t would be we'll now to lay poll
tics on the shelf for a time and talk
of the more serious things, If not
more useful and practical things, of
life-the development of the latent
riches of the State. Tennessee is a
land favored by nature far greater
than any Of the States OF New Eng
land; in the essential materials for
manufacture we have everything
heart could desire, but we are per-
hitting them to be idle, with the re-
suit that poverty reigns. We want
and must have before the State is
put upon level in prosperity with
many favored States-a greater di.
versity in agriculture and manufac-
ture. If we are to become independ.
ent financially, we must produce
our food and see the finished produc7
of our forests and mines.-Hickman

Goldsmith on Empire.

Oliver Goldsmith: Happy, very
happy, might they have been had
they known where to bound their
riches and their glory; had they
known that extending empire is
diminishing power; that countries
are ever strongest which are intern
ally powerful; that colonies, by
draining away the brave and enter
prising, leave the country in the
hands of the timid and avaricious;
that walls give little protection un-
less manned with resolution; that
too much commerce may injure a
nation as we'll as too little; and that
there is a wide difference between u
conquering and tiOurishing empire.

THE GOLDEN FLOWER.

Ere advent dawns with lessening DAYS,
While earth awaits the angels hymn
When bare as branching coral sways
In whistling winds each leatless limb,
When spring is but a spendthrift's
dream,
And summers wealth a wasted dow eH
Nor dews nor sunshine may redeem,
Then autumn coins his golden flow err
Soft was the violet's vernal hue,
Fresh was the roses morning red,
Full-orbed the stately dahlia grew
All gone! Their short-lived beauty
shed:
The shadows, frightening, stretch at
The fields are stripped, the groves are
dumb,
The frost-tiowers greet the lev moon
Still blooms the bright chrysanthe-
mum.
The stiffening turf is white with snow;
Undmmed its radiant disks are seen,
Where soon the hallowed morn will
show
The wreath and cross of Christmas
green,
AS if in autumn's dying days
1t heard the heavenly song afar,
The herald lamp of Bethlehem's star
Orphan of summer, kindly sent
To cheer the waning years decline
OF all that plying Heaven has lent,
No fairer pledge of hope than thine.
Yes June lies hid beneath the snow,
And winters unborn heir shall claim
In every seed that sleeps below
A spark that kindles into flame.
braves,
Last of the bright-robed flDwery train,
Soft signing DER their garden graves
Farewell farewellrwe meet again!
So may life's chill November bring
Hopes golden flower, the last of all,
Before we hear the angels sing
Where blossoms never fade and fall

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Modification of the Qualifications of
Jurors.
A couple of very interesting cases in
volving the qualifications of juror in
criminal cases have been passed upon
recently by the Supreme Court. In in
terrogating a talesman with respect to
his qualification, it is the rule to ask
whether or not he has formed an opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of the
defendent, but the examination has not
been inquiSitOrial as to the manner in
which he reached a conclusion or from
what source he obtained the facts upon
which he predicated an opinion. In a
case recently heard in Shelby County,
in which William A. Woods was on trial
for murder, the defendants counsel
challenged E. w. Epperson because he
stated that he formed a conclusion after
reading detailed newspaper article"
Judge Cooper was presiding and stated
that while Epperson was competent
juror, he would recognize the challenge
and allow another juror to be drawn.
The defense having exhausted its legal
number of challenges, nothing was left
but for them to accept EppersOn as a
juror, which was done. The defendant
was convicted and given fifteen wears
in the penitentiary and upon appeal the
defendants counsel insisted that they
were entitled to new trial for the rea-
son that one man had served on the jury
after having formed an opinion from
reading newspaper account of the
tragedy. The court took the case under
consideration and decided that a man
was not disqualified as juror who
reached conclusion after reading a
newspaper article, taking the same to
be true" The case is reported on page
1872 ct sequente of 18th Pickle.
The other case arose in Anderson
County, where Minor Leach was con
victed of the assassination of Genera
Manager Heck of the Royal Coal q Coke
| Company. A man had been summoned
as a juror and was being examined as t
his qualifications when he expressed
the opinion that "any person who laiC
in wait for and killed a man should b,
hanged" The defendants counsel Oh
iected, but the Supreme Court held hin
to be entirely competent as juror

Local NntiOn.

Many leading men are moving to
have the legislature pass bill to
give local option to Incorporated
towns. This step is now being con-
sidered in this and other towns.
They want petitions signed by thou

islature To grant this local option
right to Incorporated towns. This
is certainly the very essence of Dem
ocratic teaching to give the people
the right of local self government.
