HF' NHWue HHs long ago laid down the doc
uine that every man at maturity has had in the course of his life
experiences out OF which at least one interesting and useful book
could be made. The only questions involved in the writing Of such
a book by any man are, first. whether he has sufficient Judgment 70
Know which of his experiences are Of real value; second, whether he
has the honesty to write the truth.
Nc ii can question that Robins career has been sufficiently in
tereshng to Justify a book. If he has had no share in the great issuos
of the nation, he has at least been close to the inside Of bicb
finance and if he has known no great men he has known several
big ones. His book, therefore, can be made quite instructive nro.
'ueo ne writes 1t with the two requisites of good judgment and
honesty of purpose. But those arc are qualities.

COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.
The Attendance in One County
Increased One Thousand.

State Superintendent of Educa-
tion Brister is much pleased with
the practical workings of the local
compulsory school law, and in the
instance of Smith County the at
tendance has increased 1000 over
last year, which is especially graf
flying. Other counties making
favorable reports are Anderson,
Carter, Greene, Johnson, Marion.
More than one-third the counties
of the State have the compulsory
law, aud this year Superintendent
Drist ermade an earnest effort to
have it enforced. In many cases
he has been backed up by Criminal
Judges, who have charged the jury
% investigate the laws's infringe
ent. The penalty for violation
T. Loo per day, but in the event of
q first offense the law may be sus-
pended.
The law was passed by the Gen
eral Assembly of 1909, and has not
been fairly tested until this year.
1t has proven such an inducement
for pupils to attend school and ac-
ouire the rudiments of an educa-
ton, that Superintendent Brister
hopes to have a Statewide compul-
sorry law acted upon favorably by
the next General Assembly.

one school year, then goes to an
other county, and a new set takes
its place. These libraries are sent
to a county free of charge. The
State Library furnishes the books,
the cases, and pays transportation.
Through the general education
bill of 1909 the State Library re-
ceives for travelling libraries for
county schools one-ffth of the one
per cent accruing for library pur.
poses from the 25 per cent of the
gross receipts of the State. This
is generous appropriation on the
part of the State.
Atpresent the State Library has
2,lO0 books in atiop, and is
making up new libraries which
will be in circulation in a months s
time, and will raise the total to
4,200 books. The Extension De-
partment has been in active opeT-
alton for two years.

We Have No Objection.

Prof. J. w. Brister, head of the
State educational department, has
assumed the role of a prophet, says
the Nashville Tennessean. Look
ing one decade into the future he
predicts that at the expiration of
that time the women of Tennessee
will be exercising the privileges
and rights of suffrage.
women will be voting in Ten
nessee in ten years." he said last
Thursday, and stuck to the mark
despite the looks of incredulity
that at once adorned the faces of
the feminine portion of his official
force.
Professor Brister is az advanced
thinker, and ADVOCATES woman's
suffrage. Now that California has
given the woman the ballot, and
Virginia threatens to, he believes
that Tennessee is but few years
out of line.

WIFE
TO CHINESE
Manila Times. September 8, 1911. j

During the trial of Ng Ki and
Leon Mercado in the Municipal
Court this morning for disturbing
the peace, it developed that Mer-
-cado had sold his eighteen year
old wife, Jauna, to the Chinese
three days ago for 100 pecos. The
proceedings in court were stopped
that the secret service might inves.
tigate the matter, which will be
aired incourt Wednesday morning.
Mercado and Ng Ki were arrest
ed by Policeman Lynch while the
two were fighting over the posses
sion of the woman in the China
mans house.
This morning Mercado COM
planned that he was justified
assaulting Ki because the later hu
failed to pay him for his wife, pur-
chased by Ki for 100 pecos, 80 Pc
cos of which was paid in advance,
He said the contract called for the
paymentof the original purchase
price within three days, and when
he went to collect, Ki remarked
that he would keep the 70 pecos,
also the woman. This resulted in
a melee while the woman looked
placidly on.

Yellow Root and Gingseng.

"Sepg" has long been one of the
most previous herbs grown in this
country, says the Gallatin Exami-
uer, but it appears it will have to
take the second place on the market
in a short time.
Yellow root, a common plant,
which grows abundantly in this
section, promises now to surpass
"seng" in price before next season.
When "seng" was being sold here
for SIS and Sc a pound, yellow root
was bringing Is and 20 cents
pound. Today it is worth $3.50 a
pound on the market with steady
upward tendency.
Fluid extract of yellow root is
selling for something like So a
pint, and will go higher. Yellow
root is an important ingredient in
proprietary medicine, and its
consumption for the last two or
three years has been SO great the
mark etsupply has been inadequate
to fill the demand.
We are informed that yellow
root grows abundantly in Benton
County. If true, this information
is worth something to those in a
position to gather it for market,
The older physicians of our county
used it (better known here perhaps
as "yellow per-coon root" as a
tonic. Indians used it as a dye.
Yellow root used to grow around
Camden. Its long roots and root
stock are bright yellow, as are its
leaves, bark and pith, and it is in
tensely bitter. 1t is gathered in
the month of September.

A Mile of Road Free.

What would seem a passing
thought of little Importance is
perhaps going to prove blessing
to the good roads movement ia
Humphreys County, says the
Waverly Democrat.
It developed in the free lecture
on the good roads train that if
properly gone after we are entitled
to one mile of strictly first -class
highway, constructed by the gov
ernment, free of cost to us. This
sounds almost too good to be true,
but it's true, nevertheless.
The first mile of good road con-
.structed in Madison County was
built by the government, at the
expense of the government, and
for the purpose of educating the
people of Madison County. They
accepted the cue, and now have
somewhere in the neighborhood
of a hundred miles of graded,
macadamized roads.
The thing for us to do is to go
after the proper parties and get
our mile of road, and it will be an
object lesson worth while.
We have been Illuminating where
such a mile is located, and no more
ideal place could be found than at
Paint Rock. There it will be nee
essary to make fills, culverts, dirt
excavation and rock excavation.
AS we understand it, the work is
done to educate the people in all
branches Of road building, and this
being so, we are sure better selec-
tion could not be made. Let us go
to work on this proposition. We
need the instruction, and if we 60
after it we will get it.
The argument of the Democrat
on behalf of good roads is sound
argument. Benton is in need of
such an object lesson, and we
would 1ika m hear Our citizens
make noise like going after that
mile of government-built road.

BULLETIN

Miss Mary Skefington, State
Librarian, has issued the follow
ing bulletin outlining the work of
the Extension Department:
This bulletin of information is
issued for the purpose of outlining
the scope of work of the Extension
Department of the State Library,
with reference to the extension
work for the county schools.
The State Library has twofold
object iu view in sending travelling
libraries to the county schools
first, to make of the boys and girls
of today the reading men and wom-
of tomorrow; second, to reach the
patrons through the pupils.
The books Of the libraries are
carried into the homes of the pu-
pills, and are read both by them
and by the, adult members of the
family. Thus a desire for perma-
nent libraries is aroused. The
Anderson County News of Novem-
ber, 1910, says that library of so
volumes in the Briceville School
was read by over three hundred
pupils and patrons i'll less than
months time.
The scheme by which these IL
braries are sperated is simple and
comprehensive. Onapplication of
the County Superintendent, the
State Library will send to each
county one or two sets of travelling
libraries for county schools,
There are six libraries in a set
and SO volumes in each library.
These libraries are made up of
primary, intermediate, grammar
and high school books. Then in
each library are a few additional
volumes on agriculture and related
subjects. Each library is packed
in neat oak case and marked

alphabet.
The County Superintendent cir
culates these libraries through his
county schools. The teacher in
charge of the school becomes IL
brarian, and .circulates the books
through the schools. The State
Library holds the County Super
intendent responsible for the cir
culation of the libraries, and the
County Superintendent holds the
teachers responsible for the circu-
lation of the books after the libra
ries reach the schools. One set of
Libraries remains in a county for

GOOD ROADS
MASS MEETING

To the citizens of Tennessee
am authorized by the officers and
committeeman 1.-TWO have not an
sweredD of the Memphis to Bristol
Highway Association to call
meeting in Nashville, Tenn, on
November IA, 1911, at IL o'clock,
noon, to convene at the State Cap
itol, for the purpose of organizing
the Tennessee Association for
Highway Improvement.
In order that it be regular in
every way and no cut and dried
affair of inviting a selected crowd,
it is requested of the citizens of
each county in the State to meet
in mass meeting at the court house
in each county at IL o'clock, noon,
November 6, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to attend the
meeting in Nashville. 1t is re-
quested that yon select one dele
gate for every 1000 or minority
portion thereof of the population
of your county based on the census
of 1910.
The purpose and intention of
organizing this State association
in part will be:
To organize the whole State for
the purpose of cooperating with
the American Association for
Highway Improvement.
To organize sentiment for better
roadsand better road law for the
State.
To encourage q systematic Or
ganization in every county and
civil district in the State 50 as to
secure medium for the distribu-
tion of good roads literature and
papers through the national and
State associations.
TO elect delegates to attend the
American Association for High
way Improvement, that meets in
Richmond, Va. November ! l, 1911.
To petition the next General
Assembly for authority, under the
statute, to charter the accociation.
In the press Of the State, about
two months ago, I stated that as
soon as the preliminary work of
surveying and constructing the
Memphis to Bristol Highway was
nearer completed and the work
under way, that the officers and
friends of this association would
call meeting of delegates from
every county in the State for the
purpose above named.
| am officially informed that the
survey is being made and the con-
struction is under way in several
counties and that the details are
being completed in other counties
for the final completion of this
highway. I presume, therefore,
that the new organization will not
interfere with the work, but will
lend it's encouragement to the
commission in charge of the con-
struction of the Memphis to Bris-
tol Highway.
1t is hoped the press, together
with every good roads enthusiast
in the State, will join heartily in
this movement, and that full DEL
egation will be on hand from every
county in the State.
Send me the name of the secre-
tary of the mass meeting of each
county in the State and | will
communicate with him about rail
road rates, arrangements, etc.
Respectfully,
GEORGE A. GoWAN,
