promises in time to be a library OF

deavors to instill into his pupils
fondness for reading, fully realiz
ing the fact that "We find nc
bright fountains playing, no oase'

sees that into this library there
creeps nothing that would be detri-
mental to the morals of the young,
whose tender, pliable minds he is
moulding for future usefulness.
1t is worth any ones while tc
visit this school and see with what
clock like regularity everything
moves; the only trouble is that
when the Superintendent gets on
the subject of teaching he is liable
to take one of your arms off and
unhinge the other, for he is moth
ing if not school man, and almost
his whole thought is of his work.
And parents should visit the school
oftener; it not only encourages the
teachers who are trying to educate
your children, but the latter, see
ing their fathers and mothers in
terested in their work, are actuated
to greater efforts.

UNION c1TY's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Union City has many things OF
which she is justly proud, but at
the head of the list are her public
schools-schools which no town in
Tennessee can equal, for neither in
Memphis nor Nashville can one Sc
cure as high an education as can
be obtained in Union City, which
Is the only town in the state, SO
far as the writer knows, whose
public school curriculum embraces
Surveying, French, German, Latin,
Greek, Spanish and Science. But
these college courses are taught in
our Training School, branch of
the public system presided over by
DR.. Calvin S. Brown, D. Sc, Phi.

scholarly educators in the South,
who claims not only the leading
college in this country as his alma
mater, but who had the advantage
of putting the finishing touch to
his education in some of the most
renowned schools of Europe. He
is assisted by a corps of instruct
ors, all graduates of the be st

But it is the public school prop
er of which the writer wishes to
speak-the school the success OF
which depends not only on the in
tellectual qualifications of it's in
structors, but whose learning must
be coupled with rare executive
ability and thorough knowledge
of child nature; for here the ten
der bud, just from its mothers
arms, is learned its A b Cs, and
taken tenderly and conscientiously,
step by step, through the different
grades until the eighth is reached,

some five hundred pupils, is pre-

He realizes that a strong brain

Profs. Darrah is assisted by nine

imbibed their superlor's spirit of

fogy methods have been relegated
to oblivion, and thorough sys-
tenn, beneficial to both teacher and
pupil, is observable in every de

Prof. Darrah and his assistants,
recognizing that even college ed

to learning, have, out of their own

lar" and should appreciate the
fact that his children can be placed
upon an intellectual plane which
will make them the equal in life's
battles with others.
Not every one appreciates learn
ing as he should. Some say,
"Look at So-and so: he accumu-
lated a fortune, and he hasn't
scarcely sense enough to find his
way to the woodpile." And if
wealth were all that education and
culture brought, it would not be
worth the while to acquire it. The
cultured, educated mind finds beau
ty and happiness in t.-ousand
things of which the ignorant mind
knows naught. Wordsworth aptly
illustrates this in the following
lines in ''Peter Bell"
"a primrose by the rivers brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more"
Wordsworth would have seen more
of God and have found greater en-
iovment in a jamestown weed than
"Peter Bell'' would in all Mrs.
Browns greenhouses.
! must not forget the colored
school, for it's principal, Prof. j..
E. Booker, is recognized as one of
the leading educators of his race in
the state, who during his five
years. residence here as principal
of the coIored school has won the
respect of both races. He has
three able assistants, and it is safe
to say that the colored children Of
this city have better opportunity
for an education than have those

is credit due for all this besides
the teachers? In a degree to every

an interest in the schools and help

of his time and money to them,
but who has not always received

schools stand at the head of the

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

1t will be remembered that early
in the campaign Senator Vest ex-
pressed the belief that it would be
better for the Democrats to let the
Republicans win this year, and the
same belief has been expressed by
many Republicans. With COM
Portable working majoritiesin in both
houses of Congress, there will be
no possibility of shifting the re-
sponsibility for failure to act oD to
the Democrats. The Republican
candidates and the members of the
Administration have made numer-
Gus pledges to the country, which
they now nave an opportunity of
fulfilling, and if they do not-aDd
it is safe to predict that they win
not-the reckoning in 1904 will be
appalling. The people have be-
lieved the statements of Republi-
oan campaign orators that the taI'-
if on trust-made goods would be-
revised by its friends;" that legis-
lation enabling the Federal Govern
ment to regulate the trusts wOaftR
be enacted, and that the financial
system of the country would be SD
corrected as to render unnecessary
the prostitution of the treasury
into a money lender every few
months. The people will now sit
in judgment, and the way of the
Republican leaders will not be am
easy one.
Considerable criticism of the
renovation of the White House,
which has been SO completely SUI
perintended by the President, is be-
ginning to be heard. The original
specifications provided for total
expense of $205,000 1t now APP
pears that an expense of $4,000
has been incurred. And the office
building of the President is not
freproof and is not even commo-
dious. 1t is unsightly, and SO lit
tie care was exercised in its super
vision that when practically com-
plete it was discovered that no
place had been left for a heating
plant. That has now been rem
edied, but in way that gives rise
to fear that the building may not
meet with the approval of the un--
derwriters. 1t was claimed that
the White House was to be "ren-
ovated," and that none of it's his
torical features would be inter-
fered with. AS matter of fact
one entire wall has been torn. out.
The staircase down which Press
idents and their parties have come
for many years on the occasion of
their state receptions, has been gg-
moved. A great window in the
west end has been converted into a
fireplace, and the exterior of the
building is to be materially chang=
ed. The renovation" which is
almost rebuilding, will last for
many months more, and when
completed will be on scale un-
dreamed of by the Congress which
made the first authorization. In
the oval library, where President
johnson first held his cabinet meet
ings, is tablet which incorrectly
states that Grant was the first to.
hold cabinet meetings there. The,
mosaic floor which President Har-
rison caused to be put in the 'front.'

spread eagle, has been removed
and replaced with white marble.

Tools Of Production.

The working man no longer owns the
tools with which he must work. The
owners of the tools are the masters OF
the slaves who are compelled to use the
tools. The whole battle is being fought
about the tools of production--I would
have you understand it's great impor-
lance in this struggle. There was a
time when the working man owned the
tools with which he worked. That tool
was long since touched by the wand OF
invention, and the machine is owned by
combination OF capitalists, The work
ing man in this process lost control OF
the tool with which he worked. He still
has the labor power: he cannot work
without his tools. and he is compelled to
apply to the owner OF his tools for per
mission to work-in other words, for per
mission to live. Not only this, this
machine has become 50 perfect that it
may be operated by the unskilled labor
OF a woman or the dcft fingers OF the
child, so that they have to produce
profit for their masters.
In this system ii is not question OF
male labor or fcualc labor Of white
labor or black lnl,or: it is a question %:
cheap labor. He who produces cheap
est controls the market. The entire
burden Of the profit falls upon the work
ing man. This is the tendency of today
in every deuartm,nt of actiyitN-Eu-

THE LYON CASE.
SUIT APPEALED AT MAYFIELD
FOR THE wOMAN'S
HOME THERE.

The remarkable and celebrated
Lyon q%uintettes" are again brought
to notice by a suit at Mayield sp-
pealed yesterday to the higher court.
1t is the case of NJ. L. Lyon and
others against Elizabeth Lyon, to sell
property on a debt.
When the Msyheld woman gave
birth to five children several years
ago, which Ease was known all over
the United States at the time, people
gave her money with which to pur-
chase a home. The home was bought
and creditors Of her husband, o. ID.
Lyon, swooped down and attempted to
sell it for his debts.
Jugde Robbins decided the case in
favor of the mother, and the PLAINTIFF
now taken it to the court of ap-
peals.

the total number OF plain drunks a
