SCHOOL PROGRESS.

The progress made by Tennessee
along educational lines is strongly
brought out by State Superintendent
of Public Instruction r. L. Jones in an
address made before the Middle Ten
nessee Teachers Association. Prof.
Jones is thoroughly familiar with his
subject and because of his official po-
sition should speak authoritatively.
He is quoted as follows:
Another indication of progress is
increased appropriations for school
purposes. Until six years ago the
schools received only $150,0O0 per
year. This has grown to $685., 1000 last
year. A measure is now pending to
give rs per cent of the gross revenue
of the state to school purposes. This

SPRING CLEANING.

Spring cleaning editorials are crop
ping up in many papers. Each spring
the newspapers using this kind Of
matter become more numerous. This
is one phase Of the development OF
the sense of civic order and of city
beauty. Spring cleaning for city is
a good thing; 1t sets. the people to
thinking about the subject, and final
ly urges them to the practice. Spring
cleaning will eventually be followed
by summer autumn and winter clean
ing, and thus may be formed the habit
Of keeping the city clean at all times.
When a city once gets this habit dirt

The New York supreme court has
ordered the release OF officers OF the
Star Company, publishers Of the New
York American and Evening Journal,
charged with printing libel concern
ing John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The de-
cision is far reaching in its effect as
It sustains the contention that officers
of corporation cannot be held per
sonally responsibly for the publica-
ton of statements unless It is shown
that they had some connection with
the actual management OF the paper
at the time the Objectionable articles
appeared. This decision renders 1t
more difficult TO establish the guilt of
corporation officials, and may place
their subordinates in position to bear
the blame.

cHlvALRY OF MuRpERERs.

! Men who kill their fellow men
I from chivalrous motives are about as
different from one another as other
men who do not stain their hands and
their souls with blood for any reason.
Some take life in hot blood, some
after mature reflection; some give
their victims half chance, some none
at all But they are all alike In one
thing; their chivalry deserts them at
the court house. They kill to protect
woman's name and then to save
their own lives or to escape prison
drag that woman's name into the deep
est mire they can find, or allow their
lawyers to do so. Not long ago a
man killed a man somewhere on the
north Pacific coast and escaped the
gallows by saying he did Il to protect
the honor of his daughter. Not long
afterward that daughter killed her
fahter, saying that her honor was safe

CITY TURNS
HONEST PENNY

1t Is the concensus Of opinion that
Columbia. has some of the shrewdest
traders and best business men on the
present Board Of Mayor and Alder
men Of any town In the state, and they
naver lose an opportunity of turning
an honest dollar for the city. They
have made several advantageous
trades and the last one was a mule
trade. Some months since when
mules we're about as high as they
have been Chairman Chafiin OF
the Street Committee bought
pair of mules for the city with which
to haul crushed stone. Mr.. Chafin
bought the kind OF mules he would
have purchased for himself and bought
them worth the money. They cost
$3.50. Recently the city made a con
tract for crushed stone to be delivered
On the streets, so the mules were no
onger needed. They were sold with
nut difficulty to Charlie Morgan for
$500, profit Of $50.

THE ~ eovERNoR.

: Il is a dull day that does not have
its new candidate for governor. Al
ready the ever resourcefuI newspaper
man is bringing forward Well-knOWn
and prominent gentlemen who are be
ing urged by their friends" 10 get
into the game and who like Barkis
are ''WilIin." Much Of this early
notice can be classed in the personal
mention" column. as the purpose Of
il is either to feel the public pulse or
to tickle the vanity Of some coming
or going politician with a prediction
for a little notoriety 1t also fills
space, increases the Importance Of the
reporter who originated it, in the eyes
of the Office boy, and sets the public
to specializing.
But the next gubernatorial race is
not going to hinge on the personal
popularity of this candidate or that
It is going to be a duel between
giants and it will be the most desperate
struggle ever waged in Tennessee. The
fight will center around an issue, and
that issue will be the prohibition
question in some form. 1t may be
law enforcement, or it may be the re-
peal of the statewide laws. This |
will in part depend upon the clever
ness Of the liquor forces in making an
issue that is different from what 1t
seems. In the last campaign local op-
ton, properly cloaked, was put for
ward as the battle cry of the whiskey

indefensible. In the next campaign

mashed but not destroyed, and at the

In her own keeping until he chose to
besmirch it with unfounded calumny
A new form of the "unwritten law
has been invented by the lawyers de-
tending Fabian Bouvy at Plaquemine.
La, for the murder of Professor Fred
Van Ingen last October. Van Ingen
and a young girl had been engaged to
be married for three years. AS a re-
suit Of something that Van Ingen
said or did family council was called
and the marriage was FASTENED.
Bouvy, who seems to have been re-
garded as a friend of the family, was
present during part of the talk and
announced his intention to kill Van
Ingen. The girls relatives told him
the affair was not his business. The
marriage took place and the young
couple started to their home by rail-
road, accompanied by member Of
the family. Bouvy followed and took |
seat near the party. At station
he took advantage of the absence of
Van Ingen for moment to speak to
Mrs. Van Ingen. She complained to
her relatives that Bouvy was annoy
ing her This relative sought Bouvy
and said:
Sir, l do not know you, but If you
are a gentleman ,as 1 take you to be, ,
you will discontinue your attentions 8
to that lady. She is married and her t
marriage is recognized by her family"
BouEy wanted to argue the case but e
he relative refused to listen. Shortly b
afterwards Bouvy shot and killed Van n
ngen in a cowardly manner. His g
ide of the case has not been brought II
nut but question asked by his law h
er, Now, Mr.. Alexander, wasn't it T

Mrs. Van Ingen took the stand and Ia

The unprecedented activity shown b!

year.
Judge R C. Church, president OF
the Maury National Bank, was in
Nashville, and while there gave
out a statement and in the
statement what could be termed as a
prophecy in regard to. the conditions
in Maury county, among the farmers
and the financial institutions. The
statement follows:
"R. C. Church, President of the
Maury National Bank, at Columbia,
and one of the best known financiers
in Tennessee spent yesterday in
Nashville. Mr.. Church declares Maury
county to be in splendid condition e.
nancially, and is loud in his praise of
the farmers there. He says they are
in good shape, despite the bad spring, |
and will have no difficulty in meeting
the demands of the approaching fall
and winter. Mr. Church says the
banks of Maury county are in fine con-
1ition and are getting new business
every day. He also intimated thatthe
price of farms would greatly advance
md the demand would be greater than
he supply. Nashville Tennessean.
This prophecy is being fulfilled ev-
