vANCE'S COMPOSITION.

The Statesville Mascot publishes an
alleged school boy composition written
by the late Senator Vance. While its
authenticity can not be vouched for, it
sounds genuine. 1t reads:
"You told me to tell what knoyed
about toads. Well toads is like frogs,
but more dignity, when it comes to
think of it frogs is wetter. The warts
which toads is hated for can't be cured
for they is cronick, but if couldn't
get we'll I'd stay in the house. My
grandfather knew q toad that some
lady had trained till it was like folks,
when its master whistled it would
comefor flies. They cetches them with
their tong which is some like litenin
only litenin HASN'T got no gum in it..
The fly will be standing a rubin its
hind legs together and thinkin what a
fine fat fiji it is and the toad a sittin
some distance away like it was asleep.
While you see this fiji as plain as you
ever see anything all at once it amt
there. Then the toad looks up at you
sohm out of his eyes like he said what
became of that fiji? but you know he et
it. That is what know about toads.

Vertr9es and d. B. Puryear, represen-
tatives from Sumner County and one of
the chief opponents of the bill on the
floor of the lower house, will be the at
torneys making the contest of the valid
ity of the laws. The constitutionality
of the laws themselves and of the man.
ner in which the election and primary
commissioners were elected at the joint
convention of the general assembly,
will be contested
Just what the style of the bill will
be is not known, nor any of the partic-
ulars of the case. When the new state
board of election commissioners, COM
posed of Tigrett, Young and Maynard,
meets here Monday, IT is expected by
some that some attempt will be made
to secure the registration books in this
or some other county. If such move
were made, it would be resisted, and an
injunction process would follow. 1t is
feared by local school authorities that
the $780, 900 high school bond election
of June 10, will be the subject of the
contest, as this will probably be the
first election held in the state. An at
tempt will be made to have both sets of
county commissioners call the election
and appoint the officers.

he had in the purpose of the organiza-
ton whose guest he was tonight and
declared that every moral, intelligent
man should be for peace and for all
honorable means toward attaining that
end
Ambassador Bryce argued for a bet
ter public opinion among all civilized
countries, one that would look with
horror on war and all that was implied.
Each country wishes TO learn more
about the other, he said, and not ap-
proach each other with suspicion.
Touching on the questions of arma-
ment, he ventured the suggestion that
country like the United States ought
to consider what way it is possible for
their suspension in all parts of the
world. He referred TO the efforts OF
the United States and Mexico to keep
peace in Central America, stating that
they had been offering the service to
the world.
Speaker Cannon said he believed the
budgets of the nations of the earth are
now and will more and more become
SO burdensome that for the common
protection of civilization the world
would substantially disarm.
Associate Justice Brewer declared
himself to be in favor of peace and arbi-
ton and not in peace and ironclads'
He inveighed against the keeping OF q
large army and navy, saying we dc
not need it and that had we kept them
on the basis existing before the Spanish
war, the country now would be free
| fro debt.

THlRTY-TWO
COUNTIES OR
ONE THIRD OF THE STATE
Now Have Compulsory School At
tendance Laws-Wisely
Administered.

Thirty-two counties of Tennessee now
have compulsory education and, be it
said TO the credit of East Tennessee
that it stood for compulsory education
in the legislature and more counties
are enlisted in the roll of honor from
East Tennessee than from any other
section of the state.
Prof. p. p. Claxton has observed the
legislation concerning education closer
than any other person and on this SUBJ
ject furnishes the following state
ment:--
"rhs fact that the general assembly
of Tennessee just adjourned enacted
compulsory attendance laws applicable
TO one-third of the state marks the be-
ginning of the end of illiteracy in Tel.-
nessee. Already three counties in the
state had such laws. Special acts were
passed for about ten more, and in the
last days of the session, the Chestnut
BILL which had failed to pass for the
entire state, was rewritten so as to ap-
ply to about twenty counties. With
this restricted application, the bill pas
sed without objection. This, together
with the fact that it was discovered
when too late for amendment that at
least half dozen other counties, most
ly in Middle and West Tennessee,
might have been included in the bill
by the unanimous consent of their re-
presentatives' in both houses, shows
how rapidly the sentiment for conf
pulsory attendance has grown and in
dicates very plainly that, if the laws
are wisely administered in the counties
to which they apply, it will be easy to
extend them to the whole state when
the next general assembly meets.
"The counties now having compul-
sorry attendance laws, either as result
of special acts or the application of the
Chestnut bill, are as follows: Ander-
son, Blount, Carter, Campbell, Clai-
borne, Clay, Cooke, Cumberland, Fen
tress, Grundy, Granger, Hamblen,
Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, John
son, Knox, London, Marion, Monroe,
Morgan, Macon, Pickett, Roane, Scott,
Sewer, Trousdale, Unicoi, Union, Van
Duran, Observation-Disclosures coun-
ties, one-third of the state.
"In the twenty counties including in
the Chestnut bill as it finally passed,
parents and guardians responsible for
children between the ages of eight and
fourteen years will be required to send
them to school eighty days consecu.
lively each year. But children may
be excused if they have completed the
courses given in the primary schools ol
the state or are taught in these branches
in private school or by a competent
person at home. They may also beck
cused for sickness or because of extreme
poverty of the parents or unusual baC
weather.
"The penalty prescribed for violation
of the law is, for the first offense, s.
for each day the child is absent and
