Elsie. When it is considered that
this is an isolated case, and that jeal-
ousy is really at the bottom of it,
there is no need for excitement or
alarm. The death of the Sigel girl
was nothing but an ugly and vicious
crime. 1t was of the kind that occurs
frequently in all parts of the nation
And in this case it appears that the
girl at least was in part to
blame. There is no occasion for
attacking the Chinese as a whole, or
for attacking missionary work when
conducted properly and in the right
spirit. This deed was not so startling
as many that occur in the Southland,
yet who is there so fool hardy as to
raise hue and cry against the entire
negro race, or against all attempts at
heir elevation. Punish the individ-
lal, let the race take care of itself.

FREE FOR ALL.

If the opinion is held, either in Mt.
Pleasant or elsewhere, that Columbia
Is seeking an appropriation from the
county court, commensurate with the
benefit to be derived from locating
the Normal school in Maury county,
purely from selfish motives, we wish
to dispel this error by inviting every
town in the county TO compete for the
big institution 1t is evident that 9TH
er Middle Tennessee counties are 60
ing to take advantage Of the un-
parallelled opportunity presented them
by issuing the full 100000 in bonds
that the Legislature authorized. In
order that these counties should have
no advantage over Maury this county
should meet this appropriation with
one of equal size. That being done
then let the fight for location be
waged between Mt. Pleasant,
Columbia, Spring Hill, Culleoka
or any place that cares TO bid. Let
each Of these cities make an offer,
experimenting the county appropria,
ton, and then let the locating board
determine which offer is most advan-
tageous If the school goes TO Mt !
Pleasant Columbia will certainly be
benefited, just as Mt. Pleasant will
be benefited if the school comes to
Columbia There should be no jeal-
ousy between neighboring towns of
the good county of Maury. There
should be no desire on the part of the
town to accept the benefits of the
school at the expense of the other.
Let every town get in the game, and
then if Columbia does not carry her
end of the pole the school should not
come here.

THAT MEMPHIS BLUFF.

II the seven hundred saloons of
Memphis open up for business on July
l, as a newspaper report predicts,
then the officials Of Shelby
should proceed TO crowd the county
jail by placing about one thousand
law-defying citizens behind the bars
But ii is likely that the fancy of the
correspondent is responsible for the
number of doors that will swing wide
on the morning after Memphis has
been aptly termed the Bluff" city,
and it is inferred that the title means
something more than il would at first
glance suggest. River bluffs are not
the only kind known to the West Ten.

ular with the gambler and "fcur.

young man he had shown promise

accomplished much. Gentle and kind
to a degree rarely found in a man he

had discharged that duty we'll in the

NORRIS VS.. ALDRIcH.

An interesting side light on the Sen
ates action in increasing the tariff
on print paper from two to four dol
lars per ton is the letter which John
Norris, representing the newspaper
publishers. has written to Senator AL
drich, Republican boss and next friend
to any trust worthy of the name. Mr..
Norris calls the Senator's hand on
grave errors of facts" However, it
is hardly likely that the majority lead
err cares much for errors of facts so
long as he gets schedules that are
pleasing to himself and his clients.
Challenging the statement that
there have been no advances in the
price of paper, Mr.. Norris confidently
asserts that the actual advance in pa
per during the year 1908 aggregated
100000. He also called Mr.. Aldrich
down on his assertion that the mini.
mum cost of producing paper is
$3.50 per ton by sighting him to the
Hudson River Mill which is produc.
ing paper at $3.50 per ton, a differ
ence of $3.50 per ton.
1t is quite evident that either Mr..
Norris or Mr. Aldrich is badly mixed
when it comes to facts. Taking into
the splendid fealty
shown by Mr.. Aldrich to the paper
and other trusts. and giving him cred
t for being very staunch spporter
# all that is inimicable to the inter. 4
,sts of the people, it is doing him no ,
Injustice TO suggest that he is in the |
wrong and that Mr.. Norris is in the {
light. In view OF the report OF the I

MONEY IN SIGHT.

Attorney General Gates, in an opin'
Ion handed down Thursday, held that
the first apportiOnment Of funds set
apart BY the General educational bill
for school purposes shall be made on
July !. Of this year. The opinion was
rendered at the request Of the treas
urer and comptroller, there being a
difference Of opinion as TO the proper
construction Of the law.
The practical effect Of this construe-
tion Of the law is to make the school
money Immediately available. This,
of course, applies to that portion of
the state funds set apart for the con.
struction and maintenance Of the Nor.
NAL Schools, and the opinion is there
fore Of special interest to Maury
county. II removes all doubt as to
the exact provisions of the General
Educational bill.
The first years normal school ap,
preparation will be used for the pur-
pose of equipping the building. This
will amount to about $4,000 for each
of the three white schools, and will
be fully adequate All that remains
for Maury county to do is to go to
work and secure the school. The
money is ready and waiting, both for
its maintenance and equipment.

1T COSTS 70 COUNT.

The importance of the National Cen.
sus is shown by the recent appropria-
tion made by the House, when $10,-
100000 was set aside for the purpose
of counting the inhabitants of the
United States in the good year of
1910. This at first glance appears TO
be a rather huge sum of money to
exchange for the privilege of knowing
whether or not this nation has grown
into the hundred million class. But
it is not LIKELY to prove more than
is needed for the task. and it is GER
tain to be good investment. The
Census means something more than
ascertaining the population of the
United States, as the government sup
plements this work by collecting 4
tremendous amount of data of various
kinds, all of which can be applied to
practical purposes. But if all that
was accomplished was just the record
ing of the population Of the various
cities it would be worth while. Think
of the satisfaction that Atlanta would
derive from being put down as larger
than Birmingham. Or that Nashville
would get from being placed in the
Memphis class. Then there are the

Il WlIl * recalled ~ the thousands
Who followed closely the details u The
recent trial " the COOpers, over In
Nashville. for the murder Of Editor
Carmack. that one Of the three learned
counsel for the defense made a most
startling argument The learned coun-
sci was NJ Il. Meeks. and he pleaded
the application Of the unwriIten law

al the yigor at his command insisted
that the individual thus criticised or
abused had the right 10 become Judge,

be disturbed BY any written statute
after taking the life Of the editor. II
was the first time, so far as We know,
that this unwritten law was ever Sc
riously advocated in any court house
in this or any other land. For the
first time a lawyer thus boldly stood
before a court and proclaimed himself
in favor of the discharge of the as-
cused because OF an unwritten right
to pass sentence OF death and them
selves perform execution. 1t is but
fair TO the country to state that the
plea OF Gen. Meeks was derided and
condemned from one end of this land
to the other. 1t was by practically
unanimous concensus of opinion de-
creed to be barbarous, bloody and |
cruel. The daring proposition could
not be further urged by its authors f.,

of these, Judge Anderson, attempted
to withdraw it, or mitigate its effect
by a softened Interpretation. 1t shock

WANTED: TEACHERS.

"OkIahoma needs fourteen hundred
school teachers. They will receive
considerably better salaries thar
teachers receive in Tennessee. The
older states must educate them"
This statement was made in The
Herald Office by Mr.. Henry w Floyd
of Oklahoma, who has been spending
a few days in this county, visiting
relatives and friends. We take it for
granted that Mr.. Floyd was correct
in his statement.
! If Oklahoma needs fourteen hundred
teachers and in order to get them is
going to pay better salaries than Ten
nessee is paying is it not reasonable
to suppose that good per centage
of that number wiz be drawn from
the schools of this commonwealth?
Then how are the vacancies here TO
be filed?
In order to answer the latter Ques-
ton satisfactorily to the people of
Tennessee the last legislature author
lied the erection of three white nor
NAL schools in this state. The prime
purpose of these schools is 10 fit
teachers to fill the gaps that resigna-
lions. marriages and other causes
leave in our teaching staff.

of every Western state. There is de-
mand for good teachers far in excess
of the supply. Chancellor Porter in
a statement made before the Legisla-
ture, admitted that the majority of
the teachers educated at Peabody
were drafted to other states. The
demand from abroad is so great that
more teachers must be educated if
We wish to keep an adequate supply
at home. If the Normal school is
located in Maury county think of the

AnatoInik Shoes.

There will be a demonstration of Anatomik footwear at Mollan's shoe store, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of this week. At this time all persons troubled with flat foot, failing arches or having pains and aches in their feet and limbs which are some times believed to be caused by rheu- matiSm, are invited to attend this demonstration, conducted by Dr. French, representing the Anatomik Footwear Company. There are so many ailments arising from the inn proper fitting of feet during childhood that can be remedied by the proper kind of shoes worn, that were they enumerated here very few people would believe it. Such, however, is g. fact and there is a. shoe to relieve at least 90 per cent. of such troubles. These shoes are to be seen at w. K. Mollan's, 1926 Main street, he being the agent in this vicinity. Many people in Bridgeport are wearing them and can attest to their merits.
