OBION REPUBLICANS
Manifestation Of Harmony Under
MARQUIS of Oueensbury Rules.

The Republicans of the Thirteenth
Civil District met at the courthouse last
Monday TO select delegates to the coun-
ty convention which held its meeting
on the Saturday following.
The delegation was to be named by
ballot, and box was provided for that
purpose. A tally sheet was kept and
the ballot proceeded, but when the votes
were counted the Evans faction had won
by plurality of one vote. Immediate
ly there was charge of fraud alleged
against the Evans men, and after q
wordy war well known Republican
warrior and an Evans sage laid down
formalities and undertook to establish
their rights through the pugilistic mill
Officer Pardue restored peace with his
persuader and the meeting was adjourn
ed in disorder.
On Saturday the county convention
was held, consisting OF separate meet
ings, one at l O'Clock by the Evans
wing in the lower courtroom and at the
same time in the courtroom upstairs by
the Brownlow wing.
In the Brownlow convention George
Adams was chairman and 7. ]. Lowell
secretary.
Proceedings were confined altogether
to the selection of delegates to the Con-
gressional convention which meets in
Union City June H.
G. M. Adams was elected a member
OF the Congressional Committee, and
on motion of G. T. Taylor, the following
delegates were unanimously elected to

opera house, saying that it was mani
festation of the peoples devotion to
the school. The leading thought in
tanned for the past three years would
receive the most careful attention.
In regard to the teachers Mr.. Mute
stated that he had been fortunate in
securing the services of Miss Mamie
H. Moore, graduate of Vanderbilt, tc.
take the place of Miss Keiser, who was
not an applicant this year, having con-
cluded to take vacation of one year
from school work. He had succeeded
also in retaining Miss Stroud Moore
and Miss Mary Moore. The excellent
work of both had been one of the
principal features of the school,
The record in the classical department
was much stronger than it was four
years ago. A feature of the school
now is the study of vocal music, for
which a special teacher has been added.
A special teacher to coach pupils be-
hind in their studies had also been
secured, very important part of the
work, and a department of domestic
science is now in contemplation, with a
teacher.
Mr. Mute said that he felt like taking
off his hat to the Board of Education
for having supplied all these advan-
tages without cent OF increased cost in
taxes.
He spoke of the new so, 900 school
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1910-06-03

the address was that no rival was rec
ognized Pupils were admitted to Van
derbilt and all the Southern uniyersi-
ties without examination. The Wander
bilt officials had voted to renew the
privilege for another term of three
years. The work done by this school
was good enough, so declare the Van
derbilt authorities, to admit the Union
City High School boys without examin-
alton. Cornell had also extended
the usual certificate OF scholarship. No
finer school of engineering in the
world than Cornell. Pupils must un-
derstand the theory of equations and
other scientific mathematics to enter,
and a special course had been intro
duced in our High School for this pur-
pose.
Supt. Mute made special reference to
the young men of the class. He stated
that Rex Naylor would be prepared to
enter Yale. Yale was interested in the
Union City High School to the extent
of offering scholarship, and it was
indeed an honor to be thus favored.
The commercial work is beginning to
be felt in the school. This year the
school graduated three from the COM
mercal department. OF these Vivian
Reynolds and Herbert Bondurant had
each been given important positions,
the former being elected to succeed
Prof. Masters at the head of the COM
mercial department. in the High school,
Mr.. Masters having accepted other
work in the schools of his home State
Mr.. Masters had in
dorsed his successor as being we'll pre-
pared for the position-as much as he
was when the department was estab-
lished
Mr.. Mute referred with great pleasure
to the fact that Vanderbilt students
from the High School are taking their
places in the world. He spoke OF
Morris Hawes, who is now principal of
the Marion (Ky.) High School. Why
should any one send their boys and
girls away from home for preparatory
The school had also grad
lated Fred. and Lee Clogs. These
young men had graduated in three
years at Vanderbilt, a very great COM
pliment to our school, when it is con
;idered that the course usually requires
iour years time. None of the High
School boys have ever failed at Wander
oilt. The Superintendent said that
he high standard of the school main

library to be donated by Mr.. Carnegie,
the construction of which would begin
soon, adding to the value OF the school
property and the equipment Of the
school.
He spoke Of the improvement in the
steam heating plant and the comfort of
the building. Mr. Mute added that he
wanted an athletic field and asked one
of our well-known citizens if he would
not be good enough to donate a lot
adjoining the school property. He
made several suggestions to the Board
of Education, one of which was that
the Superintendent should be elected
for term of three years.
Mr.. Mute again referred to the fact
that the graduates of the High School
were eligible of admission to all the
Southern universities and recognized in
many of them by certifcation. The
Superintendent did not value this so
much, for the reason that Southern
universities were largely Of the Fresh
water" variety.
Individualizing, Mr., Mute stated that
we would hear from Fulton Moffett as
an engineer and from Melvin Tisdale as
an architect, The latter had already
drawn plans for the new library build
ing. We would hear from Rex Naylor
in the political field or in other distin-
guished work.
Mr.. Mute then addressed himself to
the class, principally to the young men,
and the commencement closed with
the award of diplomas.

Addresses by the young men were
along the lines of practical and appli-

rather than declamatory, and by the
young ladies much the same in charac-
ter, with particular reference to the
sphere of woman. From the opening
offthe Sonata by Miss Aletha Bonner,
one Of the most accomplished and
gifted musicians Of all Mr.. 0wnby's
classes, to the closing address by Supt

Calls Attention to Mistake.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March. State
Superintendent of Public Schools
Gass calls attention to an error pre-
vailing in a good many quarters to
the effect that County School Super
intendents will be elected next April
in all the counties. Professor Class
says this is a mistake, The election
will occur In April, 1911.
Prior to the enactment Of this law
twenty counties had adopted supre-
vision and elected County Superin-
tendents. In counties which had moi
availed themselves Of the law the
new act conferred the power on the
County School C Commissioners. There
will be no general change this year,
but after April, 1911, every county
will elect a Superintendent.
