On High Schools.

Mr.. Jones, State Superintendent
of Public instruction, addressed the
citizens here Monday in the inter-
est OF county high schools. He re-
viewed the progress of public
schools in the State and urged the
system of high schools in Obion
County. The Superintendent made
an interesting address. The County
Court voted upon the adoption Of
these schools, but the motion was
lost by single vote. II was again
considered. but failed to pass. The
taxes of the county have been con-.
siderably increased this year and it
was deemed unwise to make an adj
ditional assessment for high schools
at this time.

IT IS ALL TALK

Some days ago Francis T. Leupp, United States Commissioner of Indian anairs, contributed a paper on current anairs to the newspapers under the heading, "our Attitude Towards the Indian" which closed with these re- marks: We want to make the way clear for the Indian, help him to as- sert his manhood. help him to become an American citizen. Many under es- innate the ability and power of devel- opment inherent in an Indian. All he needs Is a chance"
 Brave words--and only words. From the day the Puritans set foot in New England, or the Cavaliers in Virginia, or the naughty Dons in Florida the history of the white mans treatment of the Indian has been an almost con tinuous story of oppression, mistreat- ment and open robbery. The Puritans made treaties with them and violated them on the first opportunity. As one writer sarcastically observes: They prayed to God on Sunday and preyed on the Indians all the week." They coveted the Indians land and got it, If they could find no excuse for driv- ing the red man out they made one, for they must always have something to placate their conscience As long as there were any savage Indians fin New England they were the prey of savage white men.
 And the Cavaliers were little better. Because they were of different type of manhood from the early settlers of New England they made war more openly and with less hypocritical ex- cuses, but the result was about the same They killed or drove away the Indians and took their lands. and even made slaves of some of them.
 And for the whole of De soto's career from the time he landed with his fei' low adventurers in Florida until his body was sunk in the Mississippi hi' progress was marked by almost a con tinuous record of barbarity. robbery murder and spolation. Almost every mile of his march was marked by vio fence and cruelty of which any civil

Figuring.

If was expected that farm refuse of all kinds would be utilized in making the denatured product. But the Bureau Of Internal Revenue assumed that IT the farmers weren't closely watched they would all go into the business of using their stills to make moonshine whis- key An elaborate system of rules and inspection was devised to prevent the farmer from cheating the govern ment The result, as might have been foreseen was that the red tape effect ually prevented the farmers from prof itipg by the new law.
 The government has now decided tc try the experiment of assuming that the farmers are honest, until they are proved otherwise Already aplications for permits to erect farm stills have in- creased greatly in number. It is now practicable for farmer or numbs~ of neighboring farmers to set up stiI1 wherein all sorts of farm refuse may be turned into alcohol that wtu yield heat. light and power at small ex pense. And 1t isn't necessary to have a revenue officer on the job all the time either.

It Is in the country: there is no town here. But there are six country ho- tels in sight. There Is a range of mountains all around from one to five miles distant. The breezes from every direction are mountain breezes. The small valley and notches or gorges in the mountains are specked or dotted by little white houses and a red barn and small farms.

Between Cotton Years.
Charlotte Observer.

CnarlotLe observer
 From the Financial and Commercial Chronicles statement of the cotton crop for the year ending August 31, some decidedly interesting conclusion are to be drawn. The crop production for the growing season of 1906 is put al 1s.55U760 bales, against 11,Sl9,S6V in 1S05, and 13,556,S41 in 1904. Northern mills took 2,70S,662 bales and Southern mills took 2.487,0SS, or 5.195, 750 in all. against S,527.22S for export. Northern mills, after several yearst of very slow growth, qutckened their pace and in- creased their spindleage from 15,600,- coo to 16,200.000. Southern mills rose from 9,1S1,2 spindles to 9, 924,245. An unusual stock of cotton appears to have been carried over into the new crop year, this estimated amount standing at 1,355,s44 bales. This crcums tance as The Chronicle says, ''does not indicate dearth or famine; but any one will make a great mistake wno doesf not likewise consider that the continuing immense demand for cotton goods more than offsets it. Most interesting of all The Chronicles data are those which seem to show that Northern mills. on the whole have sbeen doing rather scarcity has handicapped Southern Hpinners to such an extent that no ball aflce of advantages on their side ia visible at present. The existence of this handicap is about the only bad feature of the whole cotton situation as presented by The Chronicle. Upon the whole, the showing affords highly gratifying prospects for both grower and mannfactursr.

''This is My 65th Birthday"
John H. Baakhead.

John Hollis Bankhead. recently chos- en by the State of Alabama to fill the seat in the United States senate made vacant by the death of Senator John T. Morgan, was born in what is now Lamar county, Alabama, September 13. 1S42. He was educated in the public schools of his native county and on the outbreak of the civil war he entered the Confederate army as a first lieu tenant. He served throughout the four years of the war, being wounded three times. He was three terms a member of the State Legislature and in 1887 was elected a Representative in Congress. where he continued to serve for twenty years. In April of last year he was defeated in the primaries by Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson. Five months later in the general state primaries he was elected to the sena- torial succession, B plan laid down by the State . Democratic executive com mittee. Although he was opposed by seven of the most popular men in the State, Colonel Bankhead received 4S,- 362 votes, over 12,000 more than his nearest competitor. Shortly before his retirement from Congress Colonel Bankhead was appointed by President Roosevelt as a member of the inland waterways commission.

ll.ed people shoula have boea ashamed

lized people should have boen ashamed forever.
 And this history has gone on all through the centuries, as Mir. Leupp is compelled to know. Our government has entered into solemn treaties vita the Indian tribes and nations and vio- lated them as deliberately and shame lessly as ever thief robbed hen roost It has obtained their lands by fraud, made war on them time and again without Justification, and has even obtained possession of their persons by the fouiest treachery. 1t has violated its obligation on more than one oc- casion and has at various times made war on them because they resented the encroachments and avarice of the whites.
 All this Mir. I.eupp knows, as it has been known to other Indian agents and officials who have preyed on the In- dian at every opportunity. Some of these agents and commissioners have not only winked at the rascalities practiced by unprincipled whites but have themselves benefited by the frauds and spoliations committed un- der their own noses. It is high time to talk about giving the Indian a chance, and it is also time to do some- thing besides talk. If the Indian had always been rightly treated much blood and treasure would have been saved and the record of the United States for fairness and justice would not have been plotted so frequently.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s, 1907.

Notwithstanding all the pyrotechnics induIged in by the agitators of the State. 1t fs gratifying to note that up to date. only one judge and two solici tors have given utterance to say ex- pressions indicative of resistance to the process of the Federal Court On sober, second thought, our people can always be relied upon to line them selves up on the side of law and order. It is well that 1t is so, as otherwise with the incendiary utterances that have been indulged in by some of the temporary leaders of the affairs of State. we would be in a bad way.
