tIese people don't know how to shoot
straight. When our boys did fire their
man usually came down, but the main
part of the battle was fought at what
is called the Military Institution.
Here is where all the Mexican sold

will never be known just how many
armed men with machine guns and
field pieces were In that building, but
l do know that if this trap they set
for us had worked there would have
been thousands of American sailors
killed, but thanks to our captain it
did not work. 1t was like this: We
were marching up some street in q
line of company front and were rre-
Iparipg to come into firing line so as
to aek this Military Institute, when
the Lieutenant saw everything was
very quiet, SO thinking they bad ran
away he did not form firing line but
commenced to march onto the build
Ing. This was just what the Mexi-
cans wanted lin to do. but old Cap
tain Anderson saw the move from
distance and thought something was
wrong, so taking signal boy be sig
nailed to the scout cruiser Chester, the
cruiser Paria and the San Francisco to
train their 5-inch guns on this build
ing and at signal from him to open
fire. While this was going on we
were still marching on into danger.
Just as we got within one hundred
yards it seemed as if that whole build
ing came to life. Windows few open.
machine guns appeared and it looked
as If we had walked into certain
death, but Capt. Anderson saw it, too,
and before they could fire on US the
Captain dropped his signal and it
seemed as If the whole harbur had
blown up, and every shell that was
fred from the ships found it's mark.
Oh. it was awful. Before the Mexi-
cans could get together again after the
ships deadly fire, we had formed our
firing line and was ready. The ships
together with us steadily poured cold
steel into them until what we're left
ran away or were taken prisoners.

MARION COUNTY SENDS
C0NTESTING DELEGATES

Jasper, May 16.-As the result of a
row in the democratic county conven-
tiou held here today, two sets of con-
testing delegates will knock for ad-
mission to the floor of the state
democratic conventions. One delega-
tion is uninstructed, and understood
to be as whole unfavorable to T. r.

Pre- ton. Avent and Burrow, About
200 democrats were present when the
convention was called to order at o.
clock. S. L. Havron was elected
chairman and L. R. Darr, secretary,
without opposition. Everything went
along smoothly until the committee
on delegation brought in report stat
ing that the delegation to the state
convention should go uninstructed.
Preston men in the convention allege
that over probable majority of 10 to

tain a motion to instruct for Preston,

Preston men then claimed to have be-
come convinced that Havron was a
Rye man, and after several denuncia-
tory speeches, the convention split.
The Havron faction chose an unin-

unfavorable to Preston, and did not
mention candidates for railroad COM

UNCLE TOMS LETTER

This morning in a conversation With
E. B. Finney, road commissioners of
the stu district of Grundy county, he
told me he would like very much to
set apart some day in the near future,
when he could meet the people from
Sequachee along the Jasper road and
work it, and put it in go6d fix for
travel Grhndy is working her part
and will soon have splendid road to
the Gizzard Bridge or county line.
From there to the top Of the mountain
is thinly settled section. Now, Mr..
Finney would like to overcome this
deficienty by volunteer labor from each
end of the road, and proposes to have
the ladies prepare good dinner for
the road workers at some central and
convenient place l, as your cores
pondent, guaranteed the help of the
News in the matter, as ! was sure the
paper would take pleasure in boosting
the matter. Please put MIR E. B.
Finney in communication with youi
commissioner at once, so they can CO.
operate.
A good road from Tracy City to. Sc
quacbee is something worthy of con
sideration and our people will help
build it, You have the proposition,
and we hope you all will consider
the matter Uncle Joe Sigler of the
4th district, will aid all he can. A
big dinner and road building from the
county line to the top of the mountain
is the idea.
came down town this morning,
May 1S, and heard two men complain
ing about Mr.. E. B. Finney, our road
commissioner and threatening to pre-
fer charges against him. Of course
pricked up my ears and wanted to
know what was the matter with E. B.
"Well," said one, she has cut off all
the graft there is in the road business
and is putting the money OH the
road. "Ah l see," said I. ''He is
making every dollar count and the
ROAD shows that he Isl Uncle Joe Sig
Ter is doing the the same on his Sec
tion. No graft and already the road
is being wonderfully improved, SO
much SO that it rather astonisbes the
grafters. Watch out. Uncle Joe. you
and Ed, you might get LETT ont next

WHERE THE OLD
STAGE COACH STOPPED

Tracy City, May 1S. The old North
cut Stable building at Tracy City was
torn down last week. OF recent years
it has been used as a blacksmith shop,
but at one time was used as stop
ping place for the old style stage
coaches, running between Tracy and
McMinnville A number of the old
residents remember this old stage
coach line which traversed the noun
tain towards Jasper, over the Higgin-
botham Turnpike and can tell of see-
ing the stages pass thrugh loaded with
soldiers returning from the Mexican
War, This is particularly of interest
just now when War is again eminent
between the two countries.

what about your boys and girls whS
can not afford to go away to schoolf
They need this higher school added
to your county's system, so as to, give
them a chance for free education.
How = High School Helps the Country
Schools.
Every county which has created
high schools testifies that they have
improved the rural schools for two
reasons. First, they train better coun.
try school teachers. The fault with
our country school teachers Is that
very few of them have an opportunity
for a good education such as a high
school gives. Where the high schools
are started, the country teachers at.
tend them in large numbers and be.
come much better trained for their
work. A stream can not rise above its
source, and school can not rise
above Its teacher. Therefore, let US
train that teacher. Our state normals
can not possibly do 1t all because we
must have 2,200 new teachers In Ten.
nessee every year, and the limit for
the three normals Is about 100 gradu.
ates apiece. In addition the state uni.
versity can furnish about 100 new
teachers annually. So that leaves US
1900 new teachers to be trained some.
where. Therefore, we must create
high schools in every county.
Secondly, the high schools help the
rural schools, because every time
high school is put into a county, at
tendance and interest in the lower
schools increase. When secondary
schools were first created in 1891.
many people claimed these would hurt
the primary schools. Instead the at
tendance,in the lower grades increas-
ed, because more pupils stayed in the
primary schools until they finished.
for they wanted to go on into the sec.
onuary school The same is true when
high schools are created II a pupil
sees only eight grades for him to take
and he is in the seventh grade, he oft.
en- will drop out because he feels that
he is nearly educated. However. If he
sees a high school of four more grades
on top of his elementary school OF
eight grades, he will usually stay. to
finish the eighth grade whether he
takes the high school course or not.
