New Laws.
To Public Interested In
Schools of Henderson
County.

The present Legislature has
passed several laws regarding
the schools Of the state, and max.
ing changes in the old system.
| take this means of letting the
general public know of the fea-
lures most vital to their inter
ests, SO that there will be no
misunderstanding, aud hence no
expense incurred without due
notice Of the changes in the law.
INCREASE OF THE STATE
APPROPRIATIONS FOR
SCHOOLS.
The first law desire to call
attention to is the one increas-
ing the appropriations from one-
fourth Of all the states income
to one.third of all of the
all of the states income for
school purposes. As | under
stand the bill most all Of this in
one way or another goes to the
common schools Of the state. ]
am informed that this will add
vu;te nice sum to the amount
our county gets from the state,
and for that reason we may ex.
pect q longer term.
UNIFORM EXAMINATION OF
TEE CHEERS.
The above titled Act provides
better teachers for the entire
state. 1t provided among other
things that a teacher must be at
least IS years of age; must not
use in any form intoxicants, OPT
ates, nor cigarettes, and if he
does he is barred from a license
to tesch in the schools, and must
satisfy the examiner that he
meets the requirements; must
not have any contagious or COM
disease, and may be
required to take examination be-
fore competent practicing ply
stefan by the county or city.
This act does away with the
old secondary schools, and estab.
fishes the system consisting of
Elementary and High Schools,
providing two grades for Ele-
mentary certificates.
The act provides for the ex.
animation Of all teachers after
July, 1914, by the State Super
intendent, making one standard
for all teachers. | know this
means much towards raising the
OF the teaching force
in the rural schools.
This law provides for a fine of
not less than 10000 for giving
assistance to applicants in get
ting information as to the ma
ture and scope of the examina-
ton by furnishing or procuring
the questions ETC., applicable to
officers and citizens alike. There
are many other provisions in this
bill affecting the teacher and SUI
individually as to
their duty which would not be

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. T. r. PECK

With the advent Of Dorsett- |
Niles Anti-Hcg Cholera Serum
about three years ago, the most
deadly Of all swine diseases was
rdoomed to ultimate eradication
from the American Continent.
1t is q well.known and fully es-
tablished fact that until then
the swine owners investments
in hogs was at all times jeopar
died by this disastrous disease.
Long ago oil well informed in
dividuals fully realized that ev-
medicinal treatment for hog chol-
era which has ever been propos-
ed was worse than worthless in
curing" this disease. The
swine owners pocketbooks were
continually being depleted and
tlattened by so-called Hog
Cholera Cures" Of all kinds and
descriptions which In reality
were nothing more or less than
fakes" and frauds" com
pounded for the purpose OF
wrenching hard earned dollars
from the honest though gullible,
hog owner.
The press agricultural press
in particular-carried in each
and al issues glaring advestise-
ments Of numerous so-called
cures for cholera" In spite Of
the large amount Of money spent
for these fake remedies Hog
Cholera continued to spread with
cyclone like rapidity. Since the
discovery Of the Dorsett-Niles
Anti Hog Cholera Serum and its
demonstrated and undispnted
efficiency, the fakes" have
shifted their advertisements
from medicines to so-called
impotent fake ''serums" and
'vaccines'' for which it behooves
the farmers Of Tennessee to be
on the constant lookout.
The Dorsett.Ni Serum when
properly made by reliable and
we'll trained men according to
the y. s. Government standards
and BY other definitely defined
technique of Drs. Dorsett and
Niles, when properly admins.
tered will undoubtedly protect
healthy hogs from cholera. How
ever the field for fraud and de-
ception is so inviting that the
''unscrupulous fakirs" have al
ready invaded it with their
worthless Juice" in the form of
vaccine or. serum" Look
out for them and refuse to allow
them to separate you from your
hard earned dollars. Remember
that the following sections of
the Agricultural Departments
! Rules and Regulations have for
their object the protection Of the
swine owners Of Tennessee from
just such fraudulent practices:

What Red
Cloud Needs

Under this title a writer In the last
issue Of the Chief submits n platform
OF twelve planks. These planks pres
ent twelve distinct subjects. each OF
which is worthy of general discussion
and thoughtful consideration. Six of
them relate TO the financial, and six to
the moral, condition Of the city The
writer advocates:
list. A discuntiuuancc OF nlght
watch at the expense oi IN" cIty.
Would IL be safe to let 1t he known
that during the four hours OF darkness
between the o'clock and u O'Clock
passenger trains, the city was un'
policcd, especially when the writer
also advocates that the electric lights
be extinguished during this periodY
The city is under some obligation to
protect the residences, as well as the
stores from burglaries aud arson. We
all sleep better because Of the sense of
security from the employment Of a
night watch. There is no reason why
the burden of paying his compensation
should fall on one part OF the com
munity, or depend upon the precarious
basis Of individual subscription.
2nd. Discontinuance of street
sprinkling at the expense OF the public.
The same general answer may be given
TO this suggestion. All the people iE
the city are annoyed by the dust that
accumulates in the centres of traffic.
1t is not the fault of the merchants
that the business centres need the
sprinkler. II should be the pride of
the city that there is traffic enough
centred about a few blocks to keep
down the grass and generate dust.
Every man, woman aud child in the
city Is benefited by the suppression Of
the dust on Webster Street and Fourth
Avenue, and the whole city should
provide for the cleanliness Of those
streets, precisely as all ::the occupants
Of an apartment house should help pay
the janitOr who cleans out the ashes
from the furnace room.
3rd. Discontinuance Of light service
after IL o'clock. This would practical.
ly end the use OF electric lights
While there Is not much current used
after II o'clock at night, there is not q
consumer, who has not taken into con
sideration the facility to use it, should
it be required, at any hour OF the
night If he is to keep lamps, oi
and matches in readiness for al
emergencies after II o'clock, he would
just MS soon be without the electri,
lights entirely. and depend wholly up
on the old methods of illumntiOn.
ith. Discontinuance of Dayligh

have been expended by the citizens In
the purchase OF motors, stoves. hat
irons, fans, vacuum cleaners aud other
electric apparatus, on the faith of TINS

power is installed in most of our
houses. If we are 10 be derived OF this,

require this water at prescnty III SO,
how otherwise shall it be obtained?
II is comparatively easy to elect men

people more for their money and en-
courage consumption. This has u
speciOus ring But what re.adjust-
ment is proposed3 Would the writer
reduce the minimum of one dollar?
Can book account be opened with q
Gus, omer, and collections be made with
profit with charges less than dollar
per term? Would he fix the rates
higher than they now are for those
who consume more? Can he guarantee
that those higher rates would be paid
