Huge Hog and Pumpkin
Story.

Some years ago, Mr. 5 4 Busby
brought a very Gue Berkshire hog into
the County, and as an evidence Of what
a fine county and fine stock combined
will produce, Mr. White, Of West Point
recently killed a 10 months old pig Of
this stock which weighed net 456
pounds.

but anybody who beats him in pro

year he gathered from 3 vines 80 pump
kins averaging 25pounds each in weight
or a total for only vines Of $50 pounds
Of pure 'pun in."
One Of the most startling things about
both these stories is that they are true,

To Teachers.

Petitions have been sent you from the
State Superintendent which should be
circulated and signed at once. If the
measure they ask for shall pass the legis.
lature, Lawrence County schools will
receive an additional fund of $4,000 pei
year from the State without any con.
siderable increase in the tax tate, This
is due to the feet that small counties gel
considerably more in the prorato of the
school funds by the State than they pay
in as State taxes.

In an article in Tuesdays Demo-
crat, superintendent Of County
Schools l.. b. White announces
himself as candidate for reelection
to his present office. The justice
of such an election on the part of
the County Court is evident to
all, Two years ago when Mr..
White took the Office the position
lacked power and the schools
lacked system. Through hard
work he has obtained both. He
has systematized the work until
the progress made is a wonder,
and while he has the work started
it is not on so firm foundation
as to warrant placing it in the
hands of another. At the end OF
another two years, if he is permit
ted to continue in ONCE for that
time, Mr.. White would have the
county school system in a condl-
ton that would be an honor to
both County and State, and if the
office is then passed on to another
there will be no retrogressiOn. =

Grandpa Lockwood says he
sees nothing about his handsome
new grandson that forebodes his

by the local democratic organ
Friday last. He insists the

scalp to heel-tap, has every indi-
cation of his becoming red-hot
republican, even before he reach
es his majority. Union.
When the paper with this
statement appeared, consterna-
tion reigned in our usually quite
little city. People were seen
hurrying to and fro with the
shadow of a vague fear on their
faces. Excited groups gathered
on the street corners anxiously
seeking to get reliable informa-
tion on the subject. 1t was not
until a Democrat reporter was
hastily but thoroughly vaccina-
ted in both feet and sent into the
infected district, that our people
could be induced to resume the
'even tenor of their way" know
ing that the whole horrible truth
would soon be known if skill,
courage, and ability could accom-
plish the feat. Careful inquiry
among those who had seen the
young gentleman, to whom the
above article ascribes so fright
full an affection, soon showed that
none of them had noticed any
symptoms whatever of Republi-
anism about him. He was said
to be a bright, laughing eyed,
open faced fellow, with unusual
intelligence for his years. There
was nothing furtive or sheepish
about his looks. He had not as
yet even developed an insatiate
appe tite for pie, /" that one un-
mist akable symptom of incurable
Republicanism It seemed
strange, therefore, that such a
report could have gotten out.
Further investigation showed
that on the day that "Grandpop'
saw him, the young man was
sick all the morning which was
what made him look that way.
When the intrepid reporter
brought this news to town the
collective bosom of the commune
ty heaved a sigh of intense re-
lief and business was once more
resumed.

SOUTHERN LITTER
ACY.

Without starting a family quar-
rel we wish to differ from the
Chief" in his position on litter
acy. 1t is true that negros grow
ing up prior to the passage of the
free school law, are illiterate, but
a careful study of present condi-
tions will confirm the statement
that larger per cent of negros
than whites are taking advantage
of the system. If you will take
the trouble to study the mountain
districts of the upper Cumber-
land and the factory districts of
the city you will see an impera
tive demand for drastic legisla-
ton. | have been informed by
one of the drafterS of the first

of this measure had no other idea
than that a compulsory section
would be enacted either in the
original measure or Immediately

illiteracy exists in East Tennes-
sees mountains, and in Middle
and West Tennessee's hills, val
leys and plains as we'll. 1t may
be appallingly great in East Ten
nessee although many of the
most accomplished minds with
which my life has brought me in
contact were native to that region
of poetry and sentiment. 1t may
be that factory cities are intellec-
tual brothels of ignorance, but
the contention / make is that
there are other mountains than
those of Tennessee, and that the
factory cities of the East so far
exceed those of the South as to
make comparison impossible. l
hold, and am sustained by reas-
ons, the soundness of which is
not questioned. that the white
people of the South, despite the
great odds placed upon them by
wars fearful devastation and its
resultant poverty, are not litter
ate ip any sense of the word, and
rank with the more favored sec
