whatever superficial prejudice she
might have had concerning river-men.

his kind. He made choice Of the

telling himself. and then the expires.

for him-he'd get hold OF some land
and go to raising cotton; that Was the
way money was made.
Slow as The Naiad was. the days
passed much too swiftly for him.

toward the river.
"Yes-shan't you?" and she opened
her eyes questioningly.
NO" said Darlington with a shor,
laugh, drawing a chair near hers and
sitting down.
Betty, in surprise. gave him a quick
look, and then as quickly glanced

SUPERINTENDENT HARRIS.

In again electing Robert Lee Har-
ris superintendent Of the city schools,
the board OF education has reflected
he best sentiment of the community.
Mr.. Harris has made an exceptional
ly capable head Of the city school
system. Under his direction the
schools of Columbia have progressed
and improved until they are now rec
ognized az among the best in Tennes-
see Mr.. Harris is not only an in
structor but he is man of execu-
tive ability. He has high ideals and
makes an earnest effort to bring the
schools up to the standard required
by those ideals. A good disciplinar-
ian, a man of force and decision OF
character he compels the respect OF
even the most incorrigible in the
school. Columbia has good reason
to be proud OF its school system and
no small measure of credit for the
excellence Of the schools Is due to
the work Of the present superintend-
emit 1t is t. be hoped that his next
term will be as successful and as
profitable fol- the community school
interests as his past has been. He
ought to receive better salary than
he is getting and we trust that the
time is not fer distant when the con-
dition Of the city's exchequer will ad-
nit of the deserved increase Of COM
pensaIion.

JEWISH FARMERS.

The Jews have found that a good
way to get relief from congestion in
the cities is to turn their attention to
agriculture, and this is what they are
doing In systematic way.
Looking to this end they have es-
tablished the Jewish AgricultrialhE
tablished the Jewish Agricultural and
Industrial Aid Society, with Offices in
New York, whose province Is to en-
courage Jewish immigrants TO en-
gage in farming by seeking loans to
them on easy terms and by the dis
-semination of knowledge pertaining
to the agricultural industry.
The society has been engaged In a
campaign Of education by the publica-
ten Of The Jewish Farmer" the
sniy magazine In the world published
in the Yiddish language. In addition
to this the society provides instruc-
ton by lecture courses, and provides
free short course scholarships in ag-
ricultural colleges to daughters of
Jewish farmers
There Is also Connected with this so.
cIety a cooperative union providing
personal credit for small loans for
productive purposes.

fog twelve years, but not until recent.

AS an indication that the Jewish
farmers have been successful, and
frugal, they have paid 1886, repay

Loans, have been granted by this
society 70 1850 farmers in twenty
seven States, and the work is grow
ing so rapidly that it has been found
necessary to establish an agency in
the Middle West, with headquarters
at Chicago.
The work this organization has
been doing shows what may be ac-
complished Ly organized effort and
a determined purpose to better the
condition of q large number of peo-
pie. It is a valuable object lesson
in pointing way to take willing
hands from the crowded cities and
put them to cultivating the soil.
There are millions of acres of
idle land in this country could be
made to blossom as the rose, if the
worthy workers, who are living from
hand to mouth in the cities, were
given a helping hand, as the Jewish
farmers are helped by their agricul-
trral society Nashville Tennessean.

HARMONY FARCE ENDED.

F1AhMONV TAnSG GN6G1s
At last the harmony farce, the
abortive efforts to bring about re-
union of the irreconcilable elements
of the democratic party in the state,
has ended and for which all sincere
individuals WHO have all the time had
the courage to look the facts squarely
IN the face, should be duly thankful.
The farce has not been creditable to
the leaders who have engineered 1t.
Ine whole so-called harmony move
ment has been patiently a play Of the
politicians for selfish advantage.
There has mover been upon the part
of the regulars real, sincere, genu-
Inc desire for the rehabilitation Of the
democratic party in the State. And
too many propositions made by the
Independent committee have been
1aanifestly insincere but were born
entirely of desire to secure tacti-
cal advantage in the political game.
At this time harmony in Ternes-
see on state affairs Is not possible OF
cunsumatlon. The differences are rad
ical, they are fundamental and in
volve great questions of principle
therefore It is an idle waste of breath
to indulge in platitudes about the ne
cessity for party unity and the defeat
Of the Republicans. 1t all savors too
much of d hunger for the spoils OF
Office Men who differ radically and
fundamentally upon great questions of
principle will be slow to adjust their
differences where such an adjust
ment must necessarily involve sac
rifice. That fact should long ago
have been recognized by the politl-
clans of Tennessee.
There are more Independent voters
in Tennessee Low than ever before in
the history of the State. These men
are more concerned about the char
acter of government which they OBJ
tain than they are in the party labels
which their official servants may
wear. II they cannot get good, hon
est, capable government in one Earty
they are going to try another party.
That is plain, common sense view
Of the situation that all of the ap-
peals to party loyalty that the ma
chine made orators can devise can
not change. People are going to
vote less for others and oftener for
themselves. IE the future we shall
have better government as the re-
suit.
But there have been no radical diff
ferences among the democrats of
Tennessee upon national questions.
Both independents and regulars,
whatever their action may be touch
Ing state affairs, will support the
democratic nominees made at Balt1-
more in June 1t is therefore highly
important that there should be a
enforcement of state and national af
fairs in Tennessee this year. No
democrat, who Is really concerned
for the success of the national ticket,
could find any reasonable objection
to harmony agreement that would
guarantees united action on the ma
tional ticket There should Lave
been and there should be now an
agreement between the factions that |
would make the democratic national
TICKET safe in Tennessee.
