The Fourth in BrOOkSyille.

From the Bro5ksv.ue Progress;
The morning Of the fourth dawn
ed upon our little city like the ope-
ming OF a rose bud. The sun came
on in an its splendor and majestic
beauty as it did one hundred and
tweuty-,hree years ago. when our
fore-fsthers severed the chain of
bondage and English oppression
aud gave to tie world a free COVER
meut. a free country and made us a
rae people. Ii was in commem-
GRAFTON Of this glorious day, the
birthday Of our freedom and ourin-
dependence that our people with
true patriotism and bountiful liber-
ality made the fourth of July 1899
a day long to be remembered by the
large concours Of brave men,
beautiful women and lovely children
who were prese and day which
BIooksviIle can 1r years to come
recall with feeling Of qualification
ana pride Never has the birthday
of our nations ft9edom been more
ittingly, more appropriately OF
more successfully observed in the
history of our town than on the
present occasion. The oratory
which fell from the patriotic lips of
a dozen speakers filed the hearts
of a thousand people with enthus.
iasm and caused every individual
to be proud that he or she was an
American citizen.
At 10 o'clock the speaking began
and notwithstanding the assembled
multitude were engaged in CONVEX
sstion and laughter, yet every
speaker was treated with the great
est aspect and listened to with in
terest and marked attention. This
was evidenced by the quletude which
prevailed during the speeches and the
loud applause when the glorious
fourth was alluded to. We would
like to mention each orator in detail
and give our readers a resume #
their eloquence and patriotic wor
but space forbids.

THURSDAY, APRIL 6. 1899
SENATOR ELDRIDGE,S FIND.

With an iteration that is monOto-
nous, our esteemed Tennessee con-
temporaries are telling their readers
that "the work of the educational !
committee will turn $4,000 into the
State treasury" From reading this
stately abstraction, one might infer
chat during the recess the education
al committee had been delivering
lectures at 10, 20 and 80 cents ad-
mission, or that 1t had been working
a gold NINE in the Klondyke, or had
been rObbing a bank at Kalamazoo,
tor the State. A reading of the
news from Nashville with more than
casual interest, has failed, we must
confess, to reveal any work done by
the educational committee for hire
Senator Eldmdge does not hire 'out."
The only money that can go into the
state treasury is money that has been
wrongfulIy, if not criminally with
held from the State treasury. Sen
ator Eldridge has discovered crook
edness in the management of the
Peabody Normal School in Nash
vile The officers of the institution
have confessed the crookedness and
disgorged something over $4,000.
They say it was can overdraft."
Splendid euphemism? Enormous
efforts have been made to hush the
matter up and smooth matters over,
because an ugly scandal attaches to
these high and mighty men but it is
not likely that the dlScoverer and de-
veloper of the immortal Tibbs is like
ly to remain silent. Where the
other $4,000 and odd is to come from
Is not known, but Senator Eldrldge
is a ready reckoner at figures and
doubtless knows whereof he speaks
If $4,000 is to be recovered and
turned into the State treasury, there
should also be guilty officials turned
out of office and prosecuted to the
limit of the law, no matter what their
social standing or family connect
ions, The youth of the land must
not be taught crooked bookkeeping
by example or otherwise, Senator
Eldridge will drsappoint his many
friends if he does not ignore Gin,
Huence" and resent "pressure" anc
bring to book the guilty, no matter
whom they may be.-Commercia
Appeal.

The New Road.

The work ON The mountain
road for the past week has had
good results and the work is now
laid out to the Golden Stairs and
the end Of the present week will
see it extended to the top of the
mountain,
The rock bars which seemed ais
most Impossible have been blasted
through and the heaviest work
has been disposed of easier than
was expected but of course was ex-
pensive. After this week with
with good luck the final grading
should be begun and then the
road can be used for light travel
But for vehicles and teams good
deal has to be done yet.
The Owen coal entry is on the
line Of road and we hope an eff n
will be made to make it available
We have always thought the entry
was driven too high.
