We are persuaded after having care
fully studied the matter from every
angle that it would have been better
not to have mentioned this point. Our
reason for this conclusion is that un-
less he (the writer is willing to lay
down his own prejudices in favor of
some other part of the county he
should have refrained from asking
that others make such a self-sacrifce.
There are always two sides to all
questions and unless we are willing to
allow others the same privileges that
we take for ourselves, especially when
we are asking others to help pay for
our privileges we should be more
guarded about giving our advice. We
would not for one moment censute
anyone for not being willing to be
burdened with an expense simply to
build up some part Of the community
in which they have absolutely no
interest. 1t will be our intention
later on to show that we are broad
minded enough to admit that the
people have more than passing in
terest in the school over which our
esteemed friend, prof. Simpson, pae-
sides, but for the present we would
like to call your attention to the many
advantages of county high schools
over one centrally located school.
Last year the county court levied
small tax to be used in four schools
in the county, namely: Selmer, STAN
tonville, Bethel Springs and Adams
vile. 1t also made provisions for the
division of the funds raised by the
tax levy. This division was very far
from satisfactory to three-fourtbs Of
the people of the county, yet we
undertook the establishing Of the
schools. They have been handicapped
only by the lack of funds. The teach
ers Of the three schools located in
towns other than Selmer, arose to the
occasion and battled through every
difficulty, and the people will bear me
out when | say that good results
were obtained. We know that quite
a number Of students we're enabled tx
attend these different schools ani
thereby derived the benefits there

County High Schools from An
other Viewpoint.

In the issue of June II. 1915. the
Independent had an article of much
interest to the people of McNairy
county on the benefits of county high
schools. We feel sure that the people
have read this article with much in
terest and that much good will come
of it. However, we desire to say
that there is another view point from
which to look at the question raised
in the article referred to, and We
shall ask the Editor for little space
in which to give our side of this i'm
portant question.
No one who has studied this matter
with the best interests of our boys
and girls at heart. will for moment
say that the high school is not needed.
All thinking men and women have
long since arrived at the conclusion
that education is absolutely necessary
to the advancement of our country,
our homes, our nation.
We agree with the first part of the
article mentioned, and let it be said
that we are not trying to grasp any
thing that belongs to any other part
of the county, but our entire aim is
to try to lay before the minds of our
people the Importance of giving the
greatest service to the greatest num-
Der of people at the least possible
expense.
What we consider as the greatest
hindrance to progress from an educa-
tional standpoint IS the unsatisfed
greed Of a few politicians who have
fed off the earnings Of the people for
quite awhile and who continue, in our
opinion, public menace 20 the well
fare Of the comfy as whole. Ma
real progress can ever be made until
our people take an interest in the
administration of their own affairs
and stop leaving it to certain charac.
ters who are seeking only their owr
welfare at public expense.
The writer of the article referred
to above dwelt at some length or
what he termed focal prejudices.'

Lilly Not Available.

The formal announcement OF At
torney General a. A. Lilly as q can
didate for governor, it is believed,
completes the list of candidates for
nomination for that Office on the Re-
publican ticket. The entries now
stand: Ira L. Robinson. ex-presi-
dent Of the supreme court of appeals:
John Sherman Darst, state auditor;
and A. A. Lilly. attorney general.
These being all the candidates who
are likely to enter this contest. 1t
now becomes the duty Of the voters
of the Republican party to consider
the qualifications Of each candidate
and ascertain which one Of them Is
most available at this time.
The Telegram has felt for several
months past that the three men
above named would be all the can
didates to enter the race and il is of
the opinion that the candidacy of
Judge Robinson appeals more strong
ly TO the voters OF the state than
that of any other man who has been
mentioned for the place. dis posi-
ton on the highest court of the state
prevented him from taking an active
pant liz

leaves him without the enmity OF any
faction OF the party, If there be any

Of broad vision, OF strong human
sympathies and safe man for the
business interests of the state, upon

inson is an excellent campaigner, a
man of unquestioned character and
integrity, and he stands high in his
church. in his party and in the esti-
nation of his fellowman.
The issues OF campaign make
certain men available at one time
and unavailable AT another. The
Telegram believes that the issues OF
this Campaign make Judge Robinson
the one man most available and the
candidate who can command the
greatest strength after he is nominate
ed. Mr.. Darst is a man of splendid
qualifications and he would make an
excellent governor, but for some rea-
son his candidacy has not aroused
the interest and enthusiasm that his

his party deserve. His reward for
