THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH.

It is no use to hide the fact that the
hope Of the south lies in the white boy
who is determined to be useful and is
willing to work hard that he may be.
says the Tennessee Mountain Herald.
There are many who are studying
Latin and Greek and fitting to be
lawyers, doctors and ministers, but
there is no great demand for them.
There is a never ending demand for
young men who can do something and
superintend common labor while this
labor does what clear brains plan and
oversee. The day has passed when a
man with diploma from some small
college can win his way carte blanche.
1t has been found that there is culture
in gardening as well as in Greek; in a
lathe as well as in literature, in hands
ling plow. as well as in the handling
Of a pen.-Ex.

Senator Money had a bout with
a street-car conductor in Washing
ton last week in which he received
a blow on the head an cut his an
tagonist on the hand. The diff
fculty grew out of a dispute over
the car fare. Money left one car
and boarded another, but failed to
get transfer ticket, and refused to
pay fare again and the conductors
proceeded to put him off. As we
see it the conductor was only COM
