THE ROAD SYSTEM.

| think we need few changes
in our road law. | will suggest a
few points. Please excuse this
abridged letter, and guess what |
mean. First a change as to feet
required. Give us more feet. We
want foundation. This should
be given by the land owner and
save trouble and expense to the
county. For instance; A and B
own land opposite. A sells TWEEN
ty feet to the county, no deed
needed, and his deed not changed.
Time passes, and fifty years later
the property changes hands and is
surveyed. What? A is giving all
the road and no one knows of the
sale trouble. Second, we want
water to be ditched into the farm
1t belongs to; no man should have
bank in the country, on the road
limit. We need one county super
visor on salary, his duty to let
contracts or hire teams and work
convicts on public highways or
thoroughfares.
| believe the county judge and
county superintendent of public
instruction should be added to
make a committee when he needs
assistance in this line. Have as
few salaried officers as possible.
| am sure the last two would like
to be honorary members OF this
road business. Please work by
taxation alone. This will excuse
man that is worked who has no
team to ru n the road. The man
who has several teams by the time
he is forty five years old is ex-
cused. Is it justice! We want a
contract system SO fixed as to pay
for work after it is done. Con-
tracts should begin April and ex-
tend one year.
Now, we want a reporting COM
mittee consisting of three mem
bers on each section of road that
was formerly worked by an over
seer. This committee will be in
stead of the district commission
ers; it will be large body and OF
course onerous, as their work will
be to send written report each
quarter through their chairman OF
work done by contractor. This
report should precede each quar-
terly payment of money to con
tractor, so the county supervisor
will have the work on paper done
lin the county by all contractors
much better than the district com
missioners can, as the committee
will be in touch with their work.
This same committee can look
after our public bridges at less ex-
pense than the old way. For bridge
work pay them. This will do
away with several small Offices, of
which each officer will be glad, as
the pay does not equal the time
required, besides the abuse he gets,

DISADVANTAGES OF
A -FOUR WIRE FENCE

Dear Editors: If not too badly
worried over the fence question:
please allow me space for expires

draw from the question contest, as
Ii has already been discussed suf-
ficiently.
In Obion county there is scarce
II 4 man, black or white, who is
not interested in the fence ques-
tion; II appeals to his interest eth
er directly Or indirectly. Before
and lust after the Tennessee Legls-
lature met, there was much talk
over the question. However, this

fence people, are stimulated over
their sure coming victory in the
Legislature. l, for one, am re-
ioicing with them, and why should
I notrejoices
With all the uncultiyatable land
{ around here, a four7wire fence
would certainly not be for the pub
liz good. Great numbers Of hogs
are raised with but little cost, thus
turning to account what would be
wasted if we had four wire fence
law. Without giving this due
consideration, some of my oppo-
nents may say that this pasturage
would not be lost. They may tell
YOU that every man can fence ms
nncultivatable land and gain the
profit himself; but since the no,
fence men claim the cost Of fenc-
INC SO great, how can they expect
more land to be fencedg Some
people would be foolish enough to
take advantage of the law; when
y this Is done every man in the com
munity is compelled to keep ms
hogs up. Hence all outside hog
pasturage is wasted. This is one
disadvantage Of four-wire fence.
All first class farmers know that
we have to do much pasturing to
oct the best results from our farms.
When wheat is thrashed there Is
always some wheat remaining IN
the field. This wheat anonly be
used to the best advantage by pas

in this wayswill 60 a long way OF
keeping good fence around th'
farm. I recently heard goot
farmer say that twenty dollars pei
wear would keep good fence
around two hundred acre farm
This is also my opinion; indeed
since q two hundred acre farm il
fenced, there is not an average @
twenty dollars paid out per yea
on fences. By feeding down whea
and other such wastage to hog
enough is gained to keep up
oood fence. With four wir'
fence such could not be turned t.

another disadvantage,

ONE REASON WHY.

Much is being said nowadays
apropos of the ineficiency of pub
lie schools. Honest teachers agree
that there is q large element OF in
efficiency in the administration as
it is.
But whose is the fault9
am not one of those who rev
erence anything only because it is
old, but it seems pertinent that
should remark, that there is at
least one old-time idea we'll worth
retaining as cardinal principle,
while the evolution of schools is
being worked out. Namely, the
old-time idea that there should be
an executive head to every institu-
ton, public or private, where
young America is concerned. High
ideals are all right. Make them
highest. Enthusiasm is good; moral
appeals are excellent; pleasant in
vironment is Indispensable; per-
sonaI magnetism, good judgments
tact, sympathy, morning prayers
are all strong factors in holding
boys and girls up to their duty
And yet without proper executive
teaching, they fail ingloriously.
If you are content to have boy
or girl accomplish only the com
monplace, mediocre work; if you
are willing for him to glide easily
along through the morning hours
of life, and slight the real gymnas-
tics afforded his intellect by an
exhaustive mastery of his course
of study, which would develop the
power of thought and intellect in
HIM; if you would encourage the
trait of dilatoriness, which breeds
weakness, sinking, and eventually
dishonesty and decay-then only
let him do as he pleases-he will
fail. Failures are very insiduous;
they fasten securely upon boy
before becoming at all apparent
There are those who think the
authority of a teacher should be
merely suggestive, and that he is
a pirate when he requires boy to
; meet his obligations to himself and
. fellows. And yet when this boy
assumes the dignity and duties OF
: citizenship he must of necessity
! meet his obligations. Cheerfully
if he will, but inevitable as the
/ hand of fate whether he will or
not.
$ It is misdirected kindness, nay,
, no kindness at all, to allow boy
: or. girl his own way. "A child
t left to himself bringeth his mother
I to shame."
f. Healthy young boys and girls
are the best and sweetest creatures
, out of heaven; and the most pre-
! cious. But none are SO good but
5 that they require the rod Of stern
$ effective reproof, nor SO precious
but they may die among the rub
o bish.
! For the most part boys and girl;

it was too late and would accord
freedom to inhabitants of our i'm
sular possessions. Summing up,
amid great laughter, Mr.. Mason
said, "The Statehood bill goes
floating out on the Panama canal.
The Aldrich bill is chief mourner.
The Philippine bill is one of the
victims of the slaughter. The pure
food bill and the pure drink bill,
in mourning and despair go down
to the gloom all marked for the
dead house because the Senate of
the United States is afraid to trust
its own majority to do business"
A vote most creditable to the
President, but chiefly remarkable
because it disclosed the nature of
bill which had passed both houses
of Congress, was received during
the closing hours of the session.
This bill restored to the rank Of
Captain of Infantry one Edward
Bailey and placed him on the re-
tired list where he would receive
the pay of a retired captain for
the rest of his days. Mr.. Roose-
velt's veto disclosed the fact that
Captain Bailey during his career
as an officer of the army had been
courtmartialed seven times. He
had been convicted of almost
every violation of the regulations
of which an officer could be guilty.
He had on one occasion been dis
missed from the service and his.
sentence commuted by executives
clemency. He had finally been.
convicted of drunkenness and
embezzlement and dismissed and
yet Congress voted to restore
him to full rank. The bill was in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Burnham of New Hampshire and
favorably reported by Senator
Scott of West Virginia, As Con
gress is in the habit of accepting
the verdict of it's committees with
out much investigation the re-
sponsibility rests chiefly on the
Senators named.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The Fifty seventh Congress ex
pired precisely at noon on the 4th
of March, after several night ses
sions and a vain attempt on the
part of the Republicans to enact
two important measures in the
hours Of the session. The
Aldrich currency bill, which was
and reported to the
Senate at the eleventh hour was
defeated by the Democrats because
they held that it had not been de-
bated sufficiently and the Philip
pine tariff bill met with the same
fate. The latter measure as it
passed the House would have, it is
admitted, accomplished some good
and have afforded needed relief to
the Filipinos, but as amended by
the Senate committee would have
failed of the purpose for which it
was intended. The House granted
a reduction of IS per cent from
the Dingley rates on all imports
from the Philippines, but the Re-.
publicans in the Senate protested
against so liberal a reduction and
amended the bill to provide for
but so per cent reduction on sugar
and tobacco and admit all other
goods free of duty. AS sugar and
tobacco arc however, the only pro-
ducts which the Philippines can
export to this country the empti-
ness of the amendment is apparent.
Throughout the latter part of
the short session there has been
the utmost bitterness and strong
partisan feeling between the two
parties in the Senate and House.
This was produced in the Senate
by the long fllibuster conducted
by a minority of the Republicans
against the Statehood bill and in
the House by the Democrats, be-
cause of the unwarranted unseat-
ing of Representative Butler OF
Missouri in favor of Mr. Wagner
of the same district. Mr.. Butler
was elected by $500 majority, but
because of certain election frauds
the Republican majority threw out
enough votes to seat the Repub-
lican aspirant for his seat. AT
times the feeling in the House ran
SO strong that it was only by the
exercise of extreme watchfulness
on the part of the cooler headed
members of both parties that per
sonal violence was avoided.
After long night sessions in botE
houses, Congress met for its las
session at 10 o'clock on the morn
ing Of the 4th. All the important
business had been conducted the
night before and the Senate wa'
treated to two scathing arraign
ments of the Republican party by
Republican Senators. Mr.. Hoal
of Massachusetts, took occasion tc
point out that the failure of the
Philippine tariff bill demonstrated
that this Government had erred IL
its attempt to leglslate for the Phil
ippine Islands, that neither House
nor Senate was large enough tc
rise above parClsan ana SELFISH pun
poses and legislate for another anc
alien people and that he hoped the
members of his party would Learn

CHINA AND THE POWERS.

China refuses to aecede to the de-

chu1a, but that is probably not es-
sentlal. Russia win remain all the
same, though not formally acknowl-
edged as the sovereign power there,
When the Chinese-Japanese war was
ended. Russia obtained concession to
build part of It's Siberian railroad across
Manchuria, which would mean the
shortening OF the distance about 500
miles other concessions were also
given, notably one for branch line to
Port Arthur.
When the Boxer troubles arose in
China, Russia found 1t necessary TO
send a number OF soldiers into Man
churia, to protect her interests. When
peace was made, Russia agreed TO
withdraw her forces, excepting the
guards necessary for the railroads. This
agreement has not been kept. On the
contrary, Russia's actions have
strengthened the suspicion that her In
tentions are TO make the occupancy per-
inanent.
Lately China has been urging Russia
to withdraw, and Russian demandswere

country over to its owners These de-
