The News is right-there is abso-

the part of the members of the board
10 answer these questions. There is
no reason why DR.. Stubs should put
off the matter until after the COM
mencement; and since he has an
nounced that he would not take the
few minutes necessary TO answer
them until that event was over. lest
ne forget, we desire to reprint the
questions previously asked. Never
theless, as we understand it, DR..
.tubDs IS not the whole board Of edu-
cation, and so far as the Silver State
is concerned, any other member is at
liberty to reply, and perhaps will do
Just as well. The questions were:
First: Where can the authority of
law for the sale of such bonds. be-
longing to the state school fund. be
found?
Second: What was the market
price of those bonds at the time the
swap was made?
Third. What was the market price
Of the Massachusetts three per cent
bonds when they were purchased?
Fourth: Did this state have all the
four per cent government bonds IN
existence at the time of the sale?
Fifth: Did Mr.. Kelley. representing
the Kansas City syndicate of capital

In answer to the roll call during

Over the river
We are impressed with the lines OF
an American poetess who wrote:
Over the river the beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed to the
further side;
But their voices are lost in the dash
ing tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny
gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens
own blue;
He crossed in the twilight, gray and
cold.
And the pale mist hid him from
mortal view.
We saw not the angels that met him
lneTes
The gate of the city We could not
see.
Over the river-over the river
My brother stands waiting to well
come me.
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another-the household pet,
Her brown curls wav'd in the gentle
glare;
Darling Minnie, / see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands.
And fearlessly entered the phantom
bark.
We felt it glide from the silver sands
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark.
We know she is safe on the further
side
Where all the ransomed angels be;
Over the river-the mystic river
My childhood's idol is waiting for
me.
For none return from those quiet
shores
Who cross with the boatman cold
and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars
And catch a gleam of the snowy
sail;
And 10! they have passed from our
yearning hearts.
They crossed the stream and are
gone for aye.
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates
of day.
We only know that their barks no
more
May sail with US DER life's stormy
sea.
Yet somewhere. | know. on the unseen

Commenting the idea advanced by the Pie-maker
of this paper the proposition of holding two con-
ventions next year, in April and the other i'm
August the Big Bend Empire discourses follows:-.
We believe that the Pie-maker's suggestion is a,
good one and that it would meet with the approval
of Republicans in all parts of the state There is but
bad feature about it, and that is that the second
convention will occur at time when the farming
communities are very busy, but this could not be
avoided without stated above holding the two con-
ventions early in June. While this would make it
more convenient for the farmers to attend both the
primaries and convention there many reasons
why the nominating convention should be held later
One of the most important is, that candidate nomi-
mated in June would wear themselves and everybody
else out before election day. besides being at an enor-
nous expense Furthermore, it has always been GUS
tomary heretofore to hold two conventions and we
see no good reason for changing at this time. We be-
leve there plenty Republicans willing to attend
one or the other convention and two conventions Will
give a greater number chance to be delegates Let
us have two conventions by all means.

The young law student from
Grundy county who reached the
highest mark ever made by any
student in the law department. OF
Cumberland University at Leba-
non. Mr.. Fults made 1880 points
being four more than the highest
mark ever made. After the
close Of the school in January
Mr.. Fults will take up the prac-
tice of his profession in Tracy
City. The Lebanon Cumberland
Weekly says:
Mr.. Fults, present Judge of the
Students Moot Court, and amember OF
the January graduating class, is probably
the most popular of the present law
students by reason OF his unfailing
courtesy and uniform consideration OF
the rights OF others. A resident from
his birth of Grundy county he was edu-
Gated in its public schools and at Shook
College and received his advanced educa-
tion at the University Of Tennessee.
After filling the position OF instructor
at Shook College for fifteen months Mr..
Fults was elected Superintendent OF the
Public Schools Of his county and which
position he now holds having been
honored by a unanimous reelection.
Whether as student, instructor, county
superintendent Of schools, law student
or Judge of moot court Mr.. Futs' work
has been eminently notable for its
conscientious performance. The present
law classes Of Old Cumberland will
always hold Mr.. Fults in the highest es-
lteem and he will carry with him wher

wishes for the highest success. Cumber-

one of the oldest and best known
citizens of our town, He having
been Unidentified with the people OF
this section since long before the
establishing of the town of Tracy

was spent here. Mr.. Wooten Wls
born in Warren county, May 1, 1889
and moved with his father TO this
section while quite a small boy, and
what is now the streets OF Tracy
City were his playground IN the
happy days OF childhood before the
whistle of steam engine or the rat
tie of bank-car was ever heard up
on the summit Of the Cumberlands.
There was an abundance OF wild
game here IN those days and MIR.
Wooten spent large portion Of his
early life hunting. 1t was he too,
who discovered coal at Tracy City
and it was the pleasure of the writer
Of this sketch to hold a conversation
with Mr.. Wooten only few years
ago in which we discussed the en-
vironments Of the pioneers OF this
section. In response to some In
terrogations Mr.. Wooten said: "les,
my father owned a good deal OF land
covering the present site OF Tracy
CITY and whet. / was boy We used
to kill deer almost anywhere around
these hills. About the first deer
that remember killing was right
over there pointing towards the
college, and / hung it upon tree
about where Mr.. Won Bergen's store
is now" (the building is now occu-
pied by L. Kobleniz.) Speaking ol
the discovery Of coal Mr.. Wooten
said: ssDo you see those railroad
