CASH SYSTEM WANTED.

Editor News: I wish to say a few
words why men can't be kept here.
The reason is too much credit, and
consequently too high prices. Oil is
too high, powder is too high and the
houses are bad, and the miners hands
are tied. The men run accounts and
when they are due it is handed over to
the bookkeeper of the company and Of
course, he has to hold the mans time
back, and almost invariably he gets
nothing on pay day. The store keeper
gets everything by charging high pric-
es. This is the whole trouble We
have a good bank, good weigher, and
good boss driver and two good men
to pull the coal to the TOP, but under
present system, these merchants charge
till they get all the poor man has earn
cd, who gets disheartened and works
to no advantage. The company should
look into this if they wish to hold
their men and secure lower prices for
them, or refuse to pay store accounts
which take all man earns.

School Figures.

The figures for enumeration of school
children of Tennessee have been made
public, and show a decrease of II, 000
in the state. Some counties increased
wonderfully, however, Shelby taking
the lead with 20, 656 an increase of
nearly 5000.
The figures for Marion county show
that in 1906 the number of children
was 6, 594, but in 1907 decrease of %
was shown. Under the Chestnut law
enacted by the recent legislature, ev-
cry school child will be given 40 cents
public school money this year, which
for this county Will amount to 81, e
539. 80
The figures for Bledsoe are: 1906
,, $40; 1901, 2,212, a decrease Of 12S.
AupOrtiCnment, 81, 54S 40
Seuuatchie comfy shows an increase
of ll9, I ,234 last year and I, 1873 this
year. The aprortionment will be

Grundy comfy also increases %. the
figures being ;, l01 in 1906 and 3, l32
this year. AppOrtionment So 1872. 40.
The new law required that every
nerson taking enumeration of school
children should visit every home in
the school districts of the county, and
the falling off is laid to this as there
was no chance for padding. Sixty.
eight of the ninety six counties of the
state fell off in number of school child.

Correcting a Correction.

Regarding the correction issued
in the Statesman Democrat that there
was no alteration at the ball game,
Sheriff Houts, who told us of the
young mans peculiar conduct, inform
ed us Sunday, on being asked for fur
ther information, that two words more
from the young man would have
meant arrest. AS to an alteration be-
tween players, we never said there
was any, and we regret that the score,
8 to 3, was not correct. We asked a
spectator after the game what the score
was, and was told 8 to ?, the latter
figure being changed to three, as the
Whitwell players claimed three runs
were made. Our personal score sheet
was not kept in a condition to CLEAN
information necessary and we never
caught sight of the Jasper score card,
which we would have been glad to
have done to secure a correct report.
The News is not backward in acknowl-
edging a defeat to the base ball team
as it is so common this year that 1T is
not remarkable, but perhaps in few
years this town can afford to have a
first class ball team, and not a scrub
gang fighting against sure defeat in an
attempt to have something doing in
the old town.

Sequachee has a good active deputy
sheriff in the person Of G. G. Houts,
who is very vigilant in holding down
disorder, yet trying to do so in a kind
ly, pleasant manner. Mr. Houts,
however, while giving parties who
break the law every chance to behave
better and stop their foolishness, may
adopt more extreme measures if he
wishes to, being sustained by the
charge of Judge McReynolds, who is
especially severe against drunkenness,
public rowdyism and pistol toting. So
young men, who desire to wear chips
OH their shoulders inspired by drink
or two of whiskey, should be careful,
lest it might turn into chain on their
feet. Mr.. Houts should be backed up
in his crusade against the offenders of
the public peace by all lawabiding peo-
Pile, who, no doubt, respect him for the
careful manner in which he is con-
Quoting his duties.
