Cotton Farmers.

1t has been u number of years
since the farmers here about have
been in as prosperous condition
as that in which they find them
selves today. The hi G h Q l
prices they have received
for their cotton and for all their
marketable stuff has contributed
in very large measure to the
prosperity which they are enjoy
ing. Aside from this, the crosstie
and lumber interest in this Coun.
ty the past year has contributed
as much as any thing else to the
general prosperity of our people
When it was evident to the minds
of the farmers that crops were
cut chort, owing TO the drouth
hundreds of them with theil
wagons and teams went to the
woods, aud began cutting cross
ties. The close competition in
buying, and ready demand for ties
afforded them good price for
them delivered at the different
landings on the Tennessee River
For several weeks this kept NJ
when crop gathering time rolled
around, then the lumber interest
was lost sight of, and the advanc
ing prices in cotton caused a rush
of the producers to their fields
and no time was sp AIRED by then
in getting the feecy staple t
market, receiving the top prices
for same.

Presidents Salary.

Many of our readers know what
the salary of the President of the
United States is, but perhaps few
are aware how he draws it. The
fact of the matter is he gets his
pay in much the same way as any
salaried employe. On the first
day of each month warrant, so
called, for 81, 1866 is drawn up
by a subordinate in the Treasury
Department and signed by the
Treasurer of the Uuited States.
This is sent to the President a t
the executive mansion, who de.
posts it to his bank account, as
he would any check.
AS the PRESIDENTS salary is $50
600 a year, and as twelve times
$4,166.66 is only S49,999.92, the
warrant for the month of Dccem.
Der must necessarily call fol
$4,166.74.

The Coming Census

There is the best of reason for
the strong desire which finds ex-
preston in many quarters that the
coming census of the United
States should be accurate, impair
tial aud as complete in detail as
possible. The mere fact that it
will fix the status of the Nation at
the end of a century gives it Pc
culiar interest. Nor is its com.
pleteness desired mainly as a sat
ijfaction of curiosity or National
pride. The Nation is reaching,
md in various great industries
successfully has reached, the
point at which it is necessary to
govern expansion or restriction of
development with the aid of def
mite knowledge as TO the growth
OF the country and its require.
ments.
Students are well aware that
there has been available for ten
years past less accurate informa-
ton on points of much Importance
than is desirable. Owing to
causes which it would not now be
useful to discuss, the census of
1890 was in some respects defec-
tive. It was not in New York
alone that deficiencies in the law
aud its administration worked
mischief. This census of 1890
followed another, in which there
were undoubtedly errors in some
Southern States. A thoroughly
accurate census, if it could be
hid, would probably bring t o
Americans some surprises, and
not all of them gratifying as the
assurance that the population has
been for ten years and is now
rather larger than has been sup
posed.
The next ought to be as perfe CT
a census as the Nation can pro.
cure.

Presidents Message.

President McKinley's message
to Congress, submitted Tuesday
of last week, was lengthy doc.
ument.
After referring to the death of
Vice President Hobart, the Presi.
dent congratulated the congress
on the increasing prosperity of
country. Figures are given show
ing the great increase of ex-
ports since 1870, as contrasted
with the loss of 20 per cent capita
of imports during the same
period.
The available cash balance in
the treasury on December l,
1899, was s27S,OO4, S37,72, Of
which s239,745,9O5,36, was in
gold coin and bullion.
Maintenance Of gold standard
is strongly recommended, and in
order to preserve the party
between two metals (gOld and
silver authority is asked for the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell
United States bonds, and take
other measures necessary to that
end.
Suggestion 10 made of a trust
fund Of gold for redemption of
greenback, the same not to be
paid out again except for gold.
A forcible plea is made for
subsidies in aid Of the merchant
marine.
Regarding trusts and combiE.
atoms in restraint of trade, the
President is outspOken in his
assertion that the power Of Con-
gress should be invoked in con.
troll and regulation of these or.
CARNATIONS, saying whatever
power Congress has should be
promptly ascertained and assert.
ed.
The vast Importance of the
Nicaragua Canal is adverted to
and history Of the work of the
commission given.
Attention is called to the great
advantage of trade with China.
Complimentary notice is taken
of the Paris Exposition, and adj
vantages of American partici.
patton pointed out.
Legislation is suggested con-
eerning The ynching Of Italians in
louisiana, and h e necessity
pn.nicd out for enlarged federal
Jurisdiction in matters Of this
sort.
Recommendations are made
for the early formulation of stable
systems government for Hawaii
Porto Rico and Alaska. Rela-
tons with Cuba are dwelt on
with the reiteration that our
pledge shall he fulfilled.
An important section OF the
message deals with the rebellion
il the Philippine Islands. Posi-
tive claim is made 10 the legiti
macy of the American title to the
islands. A history is given o,
the revolt, showing it to be cause
less, and the determination ex.
pressed to suppress it.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.
President Alderman's Ringing
Letter.

TIC the Editor: regard the ap-
preparation of one hundred thou
sand dollars to the public shoots
as a just and notable piece of
legislation. It means much more
than the prolongaiisn of The
schools for a few days. 1t means
the end of al! strife as to the
principle Of popular education.
1t means victory fer those who
have fought this battle for fifteen
years, and for those greater ones
like Caldwell, Murphey and
Wiley. sons of the University,
who began the battle three
generations ago.
The State has pledged itself to
spend it's treasure for citizenship
in the higher and lower schools
and to jim them together in
closer and more helpful union,
Soon we will see the primary and
secondary schools more sanely
articulated and the whole sweep,
ing grandly into the colleges and
the University.
The great law Of educational
impulse from above downward
has again been verified. Ia State
and church the pleaders and
workers from above have
wrought this result after weary
years AID step by step. Soon the
babble about higher and lower
education will cease. The gaps
will disappear. The parts vii
merge into one great effective
instrument for social uplifting
and the children Of the State,
high and low. rich and poor, vii
climb the ladder which the State
has stretched from the gutter tC
the University, And tbs State
will feel the impetus in increased
character, manhood, power ano
skill.
