THn Benton County Sunday
School Association met here Sat
urday, and while the attendance
was not ms large as was expected,
there were many evidences that a
good beginning has been made.
As TO the attendance, The CHRoN-
IcLE will be frank in saying that
the convention followed the an-
nonncement so closely it was not
generally known and many Sunday
schoolsdidnot have an opportunity
to select delegates. tits gratifying
to know that a good beginning has
been made, however, for we heart
lily endorse every effort made along
this line. lie the Sunday school
superintendents and the Sunday
school workers will get together
there is plenty for them to do to
elevate and strengthen the ascot
alton and make its combined pow
er of great influence for good in
the county. There was such good
cheer and interest throughout the
convention here that it gave assur-
ance of an increased membership.
When christian people and Sunday
school workers get together there
is a brotherly feeling that asserts
itself, and every means should be
adopted to have every Sunday
school in the association. These
associations are educators and the
meansof becoming better acquaint.
ed with one another. Start out
with the determination to help the
newly elected officers to build up
and every Sunday school in the
county will join in and new ones
will be established. This is one Of
the objects of the association, ex.
tend the work.

RUSSELL SAGE says that J. P.
Morgan can settle the great coal
strike in one hour. This is attrib-
uting a great deal of power to one
man, and yet it is practically true.
Morgan is the financial king of the
United States, and without his ex-
tensive railroad and coal interests
he is enabled to dictate almost any
policy he desires. If he does pos
sess the power attributed to him,
Morgan is committing one of the
gravest sins and greatest crimes of
the age by not using his influence
in that direction. Man is more or
less inclined to Cypress, and Nor
gan is merely a foretaste of what
one-man power would mean in this
country.

WHAT a splendid opportunity
the thrifty farmer has to make
money in the present good prices
at which mules, horses, cattle and
hogs are selling. Benton County
is one of the best sections in Ten
nessee for raising live stock Of all
kinds, and especially mules and
hogs. THE CHRONICLE has often
urged our farmers to give more at
tention to stock raising as a means
of improvementin breeds, for stock
raising pays best where highly i'm
proved breeds are introduced. The
"scrub" animals can be improved
by crossing upon them thorough
breds of improved breeds, but the
progress is slow, and disappoint-
.ments are sure to follow your first
attempts along this line. A good
healthy hog, we'll fed, means profit
in the owners pocket. A good pas
ture insures this. The value Of a
good pasture for hogs can not be
overestimated. FURNISHES health
giving properties, giving succulent
forage, to secure which the hog
takesearly morningconstitutional
and is made healthy thereby. He
eats much Of the grass and less of
corn, and thereby is expense saved
his owner, and he lays on fat faster
than If on a full grain ration. Dis
ease does not bother the pasture
fed hog. 1t is SO Of all live stock.

Is TT HARMONY

In another column we print the
synopsis Of letter said TO have been
sent by J. Frank Alice, chairman Of
the Union Republican State Commit
tee. TO Philip O. Churchman, chairman
of the Republican State Committee. In
this letter certain propositions are
made. ostensbly in the interests of
united party.
This is not the time to comment on
die propositions of the letter, but we
presume that when II is received, it's
contents will be carefully considered,
and a reply forwarded in due time.
The Republicans of Delaware are get
ting tired of husks. and are ready TO
endorse any proposition for harmony
which offers the opportunity for an
honorable adjustment OF past difficult
ties. Yet we must not be too SAN
gulne in estimating the motives which
have led to this tender. nor OF the
feasibility of the plan proposed.
We have scarcely ceased laughing at
the bombastic letter OF Addicks when
we are confronted with a proposition
.purportlng to be in the interests of
harmony. II Addicks is the real au-
thor of the two documents which ap-
pears to be the only reasonable view,
we may ask the question: Which was
made in good faith?
1t will be remembered that in past
years there have been other PROPOSE
tions. each of which was so guarded
in its terms. that It was fair to con
clude that the object was the election
of Addicks. or course that will not
weigh heavily in considering the new
harmony tender, yet 1t will serve to
add caution in It's acceptance or re-
lection. All good Republicans desire a
united party. and all good Republicans
are willing to take the means to secure
IL. even at the expense of the aspira-
tions Of any individual Delaware has
two vacancies in the Senate, when
there have been a dozen Republicans
voted for in the last few years, any OF
whom would have served the State
with credit.and several of whom would
have brought MS honor Opposed 10
this array. there has been one man
inefficient and brazen. who had moi
one element of fitness. If the period
of midsummer madness is passed, then
all loyal Republicans will rejoice, but
they will continue to exercise all care
that any trap may be avoided. We be.
lieve that the Regular Republicans are
willing to make any sacrifice, save one
for party success, and we believe, too
that If all persons were animated b,
the same spirit. factional differences
would disappear in an hour.

Congressman Ball has worked with
almost unparalleled zeal i'm trying to get

efforts fail 10 bring the desired result
It will be no fault OF his. Some paper
in sonorous and insulting tones, has
asked that Dolaware's congressman
might make himself heard in the Hall
of Representatives at Washington. We
would suggest that there are other re-
uuirements for a congressman beside
the making OF flowery speeches and
ndulging in oratory upon matters that
are already taken care of, and that the
hard labor involved in such matters as
Congressman Ball has at present in
hand will not be lost sight of by the
voters of Delaware. The genial doctor
will no doubt make himself heard yet

There is something which bears in
vestigation in that Welsbach lighting
contract.
In the first place il purports to cover
a period OF ten years-an unreasonable
period.
1t purports to have been passed
about six months before it was to be-
come operative.
1t was signed by mayor a few
days before the expiration Of his term
Of Office. although it did not go into
effect till his successor was installed
The clerk says It was signed in blank
and that when delivered by him to the
mayor the term of years was blank,
and that there is no minute showing
that any particular length of time was
specified by the official act of the com
mission.
Later on. after the new mayor was
installed the same commission passed
a resolution giving the same company
a contract for ten years.
The mayor refused TO approve II.
Why was there an attempt to make
anothor contract If there was alread,
a valid agreement covering the saml
points?
And why was it passed in sucl
haste and with such secrecy in tn
first place?
