" The Colossal Man."


Last Thursday evening found an appro-
| ciativo audience assembled at Pitchford's
Hall to hear what Supt. Hughes had
| designated to tho members of the Teach
crs' Institute "a colossal lecture" DR.,
J George Il. McNoill traced an analogy
throughout between tho history of edu-
cation and man, in his lecture, "The
Colossal Man,
First he took his hearers back to China,
whore educational history dated farthcst
into the past. Here tho fundamental
| characteristic of education was obedi-
ence. But simple obedience, with no
training in solf-roianco, ancomplshes
nothing. Yot baby.
Tho star Of history moves westward.
Tho boy is several years old, and India
is reached. Iforo tho predominant idea
is separation or caste.
At the age OF nino years boy is usually
more ambitious physically than montally

tho development of muscle was given

Now tho boy is fourteen years old and
has developed wonderful faculty for

getting of gain was paramount.

enters into the lifo of n boy at seventeen

Thoro education consisted of instruction
in but ono book, "Tho Book of tho

tho conquering of death.
A love for tho beautiful comes at twonty
or twenty-ono. Classic Greece serves as
an illustration of this class.
To tho man with a family growing
about him Rome is likoncd. Horo it is
sought to extond power. 1t reached its
ideal and foil.
The brotherhood of man, the spirit of
true citizenship, is realized only in the
English-American idea of education.
In conclusion, DR.. McNeill urged that
toachors study thoir own methods in

has presented q perfect type of oduca.

Good Work OF the Board of Health.

1t is fact worthy of noto that tho
healthfulness Of Walhalla has been mate
rally promoted by tho efficient work of
tho Board of Health. Somc years ago it
was not infrequently the case that there
woro cases of typhoid fever, and sickness
of various kinds from local causes, in
town, pretty much through the ontire
summer. Since tho organization Of tho
Board of Honlth it has boon tho excep-
tion rather than tho rule that wo no. of
sickness of this nature. Last year and
this Wrihalla has been exceptionally free
from fevers. So far as wo can remember
not single case of fovcr has boon inside
tho town limits last summer or thus far
this year. This great change is due, wo
think, to tho vigilance of the Board of
Health. Thoy have done woll, deserve
credit for thoir excellent services, and
should have the full and hearty su uppOrt

" The Great Teacher


Those who were sofortunate as to hear
DR.. McNeill's lecture on "The Colossal
Man" were not surprised at tho excel
lenoe of tho one deliv ,red by him at the
Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon.
This lecture on "Tho Great Teacher' was
intended principally for Sunday school
teachors, but was applicable as well to
other teachers. 49,, .. -.
The great number of times Christ is
referred to in tho Bible as teacher OF
teaching was noted. Emphasis was put
upon the fact that Christ spont thirty
years in preparation for his work, show
ing that tie offico of teaohor should not
DO entered upon in thoughtloss manner
and without preparation. ~.
Christ's text book was model--tho
Bible. Ho was an impartial teachor. He
mado uso, in his teaching, of objects
familiar to his pupils, the twelve disoi-
pies. He taught by example, and not by
precept sololy.
To students of tho Bible tho lecture
indeed furnished much food for thought.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Democrats of Tazewell begin to re-
alize that they made political mistake in
nominating as their candidate for the
House Of Delegates man who is for the
gold standard and protective tariff.
We know positively that Mr.. Joseph S.
Moss is for sound money and protection.
Did the Democrats know this when they
offered him nomination? If so what
could have been their purpose? So far
Nlr. Moss has not accepted the nomina-
ton, and we have no idea he will.
A telegram from Webster, Iowa, of the
9Th inst, said that Mr.. Bryan was, there a
very sick man, complaining with his throat
and lungs. His friends are afraid he will
have to temporarily abandon his campaign
work. There is no doubt that if he con-
tinues to talk as much as he has been do
ing for some months past he will talk him
self to death, both politically and phys
ically.
Never before have the railroads and the
manufacturers ofthis country enjoyed such
general prosperity, and the indications are
that the country is entering up on an era
of continued expansion and industrial
prosperity.
The advance in the price of raw cotton
will be worth $1GO, 100000 to the planters
of the South. Will these planters continue
to be misled by the foolish theories of
Southern Democratic leaders?

BOTH SHOT TO KILL.
Terrible Street Duel Between New
Orleans Editors.

New Orleans, October l0.-There was q
terrible street duel in front of the News
paper Row on Camp street this afternoon
in which Dominick c. O'Maley, proprietor
of the Evening Items and we'll known
promoter ofsport, and G. Harrison Parker,
State Tax collector, chairman of the State
Campaign Committee and editor-in-chiel
of the Delta, the anti-lottery organ, during
its existence, were both seriously if not
fatatally wounded.
The trouble is said to have originated
over cartoon in the Item last Sunday,
representing Colonel Parker as little dog
being led by string by Governor Foster
and labeled "Me Too"
About three o'clock this afternoon
O'Malley came out of his Office accompan-
led by Parson Davies, and walked only 8
few yards, when Parker, who was crossing
the street conversing with some friend,
turned and saw him. He started toward
O'Malley and the men seemed to know
that trouble was expected and began ex-
changing 45-caliDre bullets, each firing
until his pistol was empty.
BY the time the duel was over, the men
were only about thirty feet apart, and each
walked away 10 get attention. Parker re-
ceived ball in the side which is danger
Gus wound and one in the shoulder.
O'Malley was seriously wounded in the
groin and also received bullet In the leg
A news boy fully hundred feet away was
shot in the head by. one of O'Malley's
bullets. The boy will recover.
Both men are resting easy tonight.
O'Malley has been in several shooting
afrays, and Parker wounded Mayor E. a.

North TazeWell.

We have recently heard complaints
from the busine men OF North Tazewell
in re- ference to the persistent carelessness
of persons in speaking and even writing of
that town as "Kelly" The town as in
corporated has always been North Taze,
well, though up to the first of last July the
post-office was ''Kelly." Upon the petit
ton of the citizens the Post-office Depart
ment changed the name IF the Office to
"North Tazewell' on the first of July.
So that, now the town and post-office have
the same name. To give either misnomer
tends to confu.e the ublic mind and in
that way infiict an il jury upon the business
men of the town. For that reason persons
should be particular about the name they
use, especially when writing about the
town. Remember the name of the town
and post III ce is North Tazeweli.
