Teacher and the School.

As is the teacher, SO is the
school.
This has justly become almost d
proverb.
Character is the vital issue in
the school. Every exercise shonid
be determined by that thought.
Character Is primary, knowledge
is secondary. 1t is the kind of
man or woman you place IN q
school that makes it good or bad.
Pedagogy is all right. Teachers
should be trained for their work.
There is right and wrong way
to teach, but the school invariably
reflects the teacher.
If school arrests development,
it is because the wrong teacher is
there. A pleasant school predi-
Gates a pleasant teacher; and a
troublesome school a worrying
teacher. A teacher may not be-
responsible for the outrageous con-
duct of some bad boy born entire
ly wrong, but for the atmosphere,
the spirit, the tone Of the school.
he is responsible, and if it is good
or bad, ii is as the teacher makes
it.
A good school stimulates devef
opment and leads the child to know
himself and love the right. Ii
builds character and awakens am
bltion. The teacher has the power
to make harmony or diseord in the
school. If possible the teacher
should be just the kind Of teacher
he would like to have were he a
pupil in the school. The COM
munity, the Board Of Education
are valuable aids, but they are
powerless to accomplish what the
teacher by the right spirit can
bring about.
The teacher makes the school,
be what the conditions may.

Charged With Serious ofense.

Huntingdon, Tenn, February O.
Constable C. A. Leach arrested
Martain Jones, well-known young
man of the Atwood section Of this
county, at that place Saturday, on
most serious charge, that of Grim
inal assault, which is made against
Jones by Miss Minnie Holt, of Jack
son. The assault is alleged to have
occurred several months ago. Jones
was keeping company with the
young lady, and they were in
Huntingdon just prior to the time
the crime is said to have been com
mitted. Jones accompanied the of
ficer to Milan, where he secured a
lawyer, and the party then pro-
ceeded to Jackson, where Jones was
held on a $4,000 bond. An effort
will be made to-day before Judge
Levi Wood to have the bond re-
duced. Jones counsel will intro
duce some sensational testimony in
his behalf.
The accused is a member of one
of the most prominent aud well-to-
do families in Carroll county, and
the affair has created qu1tea a sensa-
tion in Atwood, and in this city,
where he is well known.

Newspapers in the South.

Richmond is able to support one
modern, hrst-class paper, morning
and evening but no more. The ex.
pertinent has been tried, and those
who have put the matter to the test
are fully satisfied on that point. In
this respect Richmond is not unlike
other cities in the South of the same
class. Even Washington, d. c.,
has only one morning newspaper
An attempt was made several years
ago to establish another morning
paper in that city, but after a large
expenditure of money the paper
was retired. Atlanta has but one
morning newspaper. The same is
true Of Charleston Columbus, S. c.;
Savannah. Macon, Augusta, Ga;
Montgomery, Mobile, Birmingham,
Ala; Memphis and Nashville, Tenn.
These cities are better located in
one respect than Richmond, for
for they do not come into daily com
petition with the newspaper of the
Northern cities.
Richmond is to be c1assed with
Atlanta, Nashville, and Memphis.
In Atlanta The Constitution has
for many years occupied the NOR
ming fields without competition.
In Nashville a strong fight was
made against The American several
year ago, but after sinking a round
sum of money, the effort to run The
American out was abandoned, and
it now occupies the undisputed
morning field
In Memphis there were in the
morning field The Avalanche and
The Appeal. These were consoli-
dated, and The Commercial was
started up. This was finally taken
over by The Appeal-Avalanche and
The Commercial Appeal, represent
ing three daily papers, is now the
only morning paper in Memphis.

Arkansas Fish Law.

A wholesale fish and game dealer
of this city, in conversation with
the Nashville Banner correspond
ent, this morning stated that buffa-
10 fish would in very short while
be advanced two cents or more a
pound. When asked for the reason,
his reply was that the Kilgore fish
bill, which has just passed the Ar
kansas Legislature and become a
law, would be certain to bring the
increase in price, as Arkansas fur
nished more buffalo and catfish
than anyother FIVE states. The Kill
gore law, he says, which was osten-
sibly passed to protect the game
fish, would never have passed but
for the dense ignorance of the Ar
kansas legislature i'll regard to fish.
Buffalo eat the roe or span Of all
the game fish they can find, and in
this way millions of game fish are
annually destroyed. The buffalo and
and cat are the poor peoples
fish of the town and cities, and by
prohibiting the catching of them
the poor people are robbed of a
cheap, healthy article of food and
a foe to the game fish allowed to
increase.
The Arkansas fish law is looked
upon by the gentleman mentioned
above as passed by the suggestion of
that class of sportsmen who are able
to have interest in club houses and
pay in time and money spent in catch
ing their fish dollar pound.

RAILROAD WORLD.

A New York special to the Commercial
Appeal says George ]. Gould plans to
reach tidewater on the Atlantic coast at
a more southerly port than Baltimore,
as well as at thdt city The second tide
water point will probably be Brunswick,
Ga, and If present plans are carried out
the Gould system will be in Birmingham
almost as quickly as the Rock Island will
be through the purchase of the ST. Louis
and San Francisco.
The Gould plan for effecting a south
western consolidation, to be known as the
Greater Missouri Pacific System" In
cludes ports for exports on the Atlantic
coast as well as on the Gulf of Mexico.
Both the International and Great North
ern and the Texas and Pacific will afford
splendid southwestern connections for a
line in which the Goulds are interested.
This line Will within a short time carry
them from Shreveport, La, to Vicksburg
and ON to Meridian. Miss, long step
forward toward Birmingham.
Once into Vicksburg a line could be
very easily built at a distance of about
200 miles to Birmingham, or by absorbing
the alabama and Vicksburg the Gould
system would be brought to Meridian,
leaving a gap of only about co miles into
Birmingham.
Should the Rock Island and st. Louis
and San Francisco combination not make
a deal with the Central of Georgia,
which Mr.. Morgan controls, and the
Brunswick and Birmingham, which coulI
be extended to connect with the Georgia
Central and Americas, Mr.. Gould could
arrange either a traffic agreement with
the Brunswick and Birmingham, or ae-
tually absorb the property, bidding the
additional 200 miles which has been sur
veyed and located from Irwinvllle, Ca,
to Birmingham.
The New York Commercial says: Manu-
facturers admit that many railroads
which have anderestimated their steel
rail requirements for 1903 will be obliged
to go abroad for supplies. The steel rail
mills of this country already have more
untitled orders on heir books than they
can conveniently han die and it is because
of this they are turning new orders away.
representative of me of the largest
mills in the country TOT ay made the state
ment that the production OF steel rails
during the current year would be con-
sderably below early estimates, owing
to the inability of the railroads to handle
raw supplies consigned to them. lie said:
"A large percentage of the proceeds of
proposed bond issues by railroad COM
panies will go into steel rails and other
equipment. The stringent condition Of
the money market will result in the
shelving of a number of deals of this
character, but the railroads will go on
making their improvements, realizing
they will be able to realize on their new
securities later"
