It Don't Look Feasible.

The question which is receiving con-
siderable comment and study, relative
to the printing Of text books by con-
victs, is being generally reviewed by
the various papers throughout the
state, and many excellent reasons are
being put forth why it would not be a
pronounced success.
All convicts could prepare rock for
roads and it would be practicable, but
most Of them would be dead or their
terms of imprisonment would have ex-
pired before they could be taught the
art Of printing or making books.
1t seems to us that the school boards,
or better still, the state should adopt
uniform text books, and then ask for
bids for furnishing them to all the
schools in the state.
The prices of books are very high,
but the constant changing of books is
what costs. A book bought for mem
ber of the family is useless for the
younger brother or sister, and for the
reason that someone has changed the
book, and on the average there is lit
tie gained by the change.
Statistics show that there are fewer
printers confined within the prison
walls of today than of any other class
Of tradesmen, and in general way it
would seem almost inconsistent to ex-
pect this class of work to be turned out
by the convict in general. Printing is
not only trade, but an art, and can
not be done by men who are wholly ig
norant Of its many branches.
To become success in the art one
must have the natural, tendencies,
coupled with years Of practice and ex-

BANKS BECOMES
MIDLAND EDITOR
SUCCEEDS LATE DR.. WARNER
MOORE ON METHODIST
PUBLICATION.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 30
Manv friends of the Midland Metho-
dist in Nashville are interested in the
announcement that a Paducah, Kyv
minister, Rev. G. w. Banks, has been
made assistant editor of that publica-
ton. Rev. Banks is pastor OF the
Fountin-avenue Methodist Church OF
Paducah. AS assistant editor OF the
Midland Methodist he will succeed Dr.
Warner Moore, of Ripley, Tenn.
whose death occasioned sorrow sew
eral weeks ago.
1t is understood that Rev. Banks
duties as editor of the Midland VII
not interfere with his work as pastor
and that he will remain in Paducah
preparing his copy there and sending
il to Nashville. His selection is con
sidered a decided compliment, as sew
eral other ministers were considered
for the place. The Midland Methods
is the official organ of the Tennessee
and Holston Conferences. 1t has
wide circulation in the Memphis Con
ference, and will probably be made
the official organ of that Conference
next fall.

YOUNG LADIES
OPENED FIRE
BOLD BURGLAR TRIED TO ENTER
KELLEY HOME AND WAS PUT
TO FLIGHT.

Mrs. Ella Kelley and daughters
were badly frightened by a midnight
prowler Monday night at their home
on South High street, and two shots
were taken at the man, who from the
brief glance had at him, appeared to
be a negro. The young ladies had
been to the Opera House and we're
closing up the residence when a noise
was heard as If someone was moving
near the house or on one OF the porch
es. A pistol was secured and a man
was discovered standing near one OF
the porches. 1t is not thought that
either of the shots fired were effective.
The shooting attracted number OF
neighbors, who went to the Kelley
home and after a little succeeded In
quieting the fears of the ladies. The
officers were notified, but scured no
trace of the prowler.
