There ought to be some way
to compel the idle negroes in
this town to go to work.
Farmers are complaining that
they are unable to find labOrerS
to work in their fields while
there are many negro loafers in
this town who have no visible
means of support. The oilers
should be made to quit town or
go to work. It may not be posi-
BILE to reach them all, but we be-
lieve some effort ON the part of
the municipal authorities will
lessen the number of these va
grants. Cane planters have
told US that though they find
many negroes in this town
without employment it is rare
thing to meet with one who is
willing to work They admit
that they don't work, but do not
hesitate to say that they don't
intend to work.

ll0TNEa EDUCATIONAL GOVERNOR
The Nominee In Tennessee
Declares for a Nine
Months School for
Every Child in
the State.
Southern Education Notes.

It is encouraging to the friends
of public education to read the
following from Hon. James B.
Frazier, the Democratic nominee
for governor of Tennessee:
The department of the State
government which comes closest
to the people is that of public
schools. need not tell you that
education is the great bulwark
and safeguard of a free people.
I need not tell you that educa-
ton and prosperity go hand in
hand. I need not tell you that
the richest and most valuable
asset of this great and rich
State is not it's mines and it's
factories, it's forests and it's
farms, but it is the 800, 900 boys
and girls of Tennessee who are
to make its future citizenship
and to build for it it's wealth and
it's power.
While we spent in Tennessee
last year $1,611,OOO on public
schools. we find that the average
number of days taught was only
ninety three, and that in many
of the counties of the State it
did not exceed seventy five days.
In our incorporated cities and
towns the State and county
funds can be supplemented by a
municipal tax and there, as a
rule, our public schools are well
equipped, well taught and of
sufficient length. The trouble is
with our country schools. The
great bulk of the population of
Tennessee live in the country.
They are the sturdy farmers,
who till the soil, produce the
wealth and pay literally their
taxes to the State I say that
their sons and daughters are en-
titled to have better schools and
longer school terms, that they
may be better equipped to meet
the responsibilities and fight the
great battles of life; and. if I am
elected your governor I shall
make supreme effort to bring
about this result, SO much
needed and so imperatively de-
manded. I want to live to see
the day when every boy and girl
in Tennessee, whether living in
country or city, whether the
child of poverty and toll, or the
child of wealth and luxury, shall
attend or have the opportunity
of attending a well taught school.
for at least nine months in every
year. And when this is done
you will see your penitentiary
problem simplified, your Grim
inal cost bills grow infinitely less,
and the productive energy and
wealth of this great State be
many times multiplied

MUCH DAMAGE DONE
City Will Lose By the Com
sioners' Latest Plan of
Insurance.

Fire broke out in Police Headquarters
at lao O'Clock this morning and caused
about 81, COO damage to the building before
the flames were subdued.
It is not known how the fire originated.
II started in a small closet off the room
occupied by Colonel Gilbert P. Robinson,
as Clerk of the Police Board on the top
floor. 1t badly damaged the Clerks office,
ate through into the Commissioner $
room, badly damaging the partition and
the ceiling. 1t also ate through the floor
ing and attacked Inspector Archibold's s
office on the second floor, and burned
away good portion of a partition be-
tween it and the corridor.
In their efforts to fight the fire the fire.
men were obliged to cut through and rip
up a considerable portion of the flooring
Of the third story. Some damage was
done by water. One of Police Captain
Cody's uniforms was somewhat damaged
The duplicate payroll of the department.
lay on the Clerks desk, but were only
smoked. The regular payroll was in the
Inspectors desk off to the end of the
room where the fire did not reach.
IT is believed that the fire had been
smouldering for several hours before it
vas discovered. Reporters and officers
on the second floor had remarked upor
the smell of smoke for some time. Later
on smoke was detected issuing from the
floor above and from partitions.
Sergeant Walsh, who is on night duty
at the desk Immediately sent in a still
alarm to fire headquarters. Mol Truck
was s,oon on the scene. Patrolman VOL
verton pulled box No IA ard Nos, l, 2,
and 4 engines came dashfng upon the
scene. The firemen made short shrift of
the fire.
Commissioners Ti.den and Mitchell,
Chief Murphy, Inspector Archibo'd and
Detective McNally reached the building
before the fire wac conquered
Chief Murphy in discussing the fire this
| morning said he thought mice must have
ignited matches. He said Colonel Robin
son had mousetrap In the closet ard
frequently caught two or three mice a
week
1t was the first time, he said, that a
| fire had occurred in any building oecupied
as police headquarters in this city, and.
| with the exception of a sight one in the
Second precinct station hous no one had
occurred in a police station.
The result of the fire, he said, justi-
fed the Police Commissioners in not car
rying heavy insurance on police build
| ings. The whole building is insured for
only s., 800 It is explained by the Conn
/ missioners that in a building where police
are constantly on guard it is impossible
for a fire to gain much headway before
fremen are on the spot to subdue the
| flames The damage to the building this
morning is over seventh less than the
amount for which the building is insured.
| All the city will recover on its loss on
! the plan upon which the Commissioners
effected the insurance is about $3.50 and
its net loss will be about $3.50.
Fireman w. Fl. Sweeney, Of Engine No.

glass while fighting fire last night. He
went to the City Hospital to have his
