PROGRESS SHOWN IN
ANNUAL REPORT MADE

THE AVERAGE ATTENDANCE AT
SCHOOLS THREE-FouRTHs
ENROLMENT.
TUITION COST VERY SMALL
Exceptionally Good Record Made by
Teachers for Attendance at Meet
ings of Association-Fifty-Eight
Libraries.

During the school year ending June
80 last, according to the annual report
of County Superintendent John P.
Graham made to the state department
of public instruction there were en-
rolled in the public schools of the
county S,976 pupils out of a total
scholastic population of 1869. The
average attendance for the term was
GALS, or approximately seventy-fve
per cent of the enrolment which is
considered splendid record. How
ever, it was not quite as good as it
would have been had not the county
board discontinued the services of the
attendance officer employed the year
before.
The average term for all of the
country schools was eight months and
that for the cities was nine months.
The pupils of the county were sent
to school during the past term at an
average cost per pupil per month for
tuition of only $1.49. In the cities the
rate was slightly higher and in the
country little less, this being the av-
erage for the entire county.
During the term the county super
intendent visited and inspected ITO
schools spending more than an hour
and half at each of the schools, and
some of them were visited more than
once. Of the white teachers of the
county all are members of the coun-
ty association and the attendance at
the meetings averaged 107 outof dua-c
the meetings averaged 107 out of
total of 1870 1t is doubtful if bet,
ter record has been made in any coun-
ty of the state.
There are fifty-eight school libra
ries in the county, having a total of
96OS volumes.

LEWISBURG, Tenn, Oct LIN his
speech here Friday Senator Luke Lea
again threw at the feet of ex-Gov. Pat
terson the challenge he issued to him
last Tuesday night at Chattanooga to
answer to the people of Tennessee
whether he was sorry for other things
he had done as governor in addition
to the record he had made on the H.
Quor question"
He again asked the ex-governor to
say wether or not he would add a
fourth instance to the three instances
the ex-governor had cited in his
speech of the consequences of men
doing as they please. Senator Lea
again asked the ex-governor whether
his confession and conversion had
made him sorry for his pardon of the
man who slew United States sena-
tor.
When candidate for the senate, .
declared Senator Lea, The said he ap-
proved of the pardon of the men who
slew a senator of Tennessee. His last
and every utterance on that subject
were OF defiance to the people of Ten
nessee in justifying that act. That
goes to his fitness to hold tse highest
Office of the people of the state and
1t is proper to make the inquiry. The
people are entitled to know where he
stands"
Senator Lea challenged the ex-gov-
ernor to say where he stood now in
this matter, and dared him to answer.
1T is a question between you and
your people, not between you and
me-" said Senator Lea.
Senator Lea challenged and dared
the ex-governor to produce a single
letter from any official of the Anti
Saloon League asking him to make
the race for the United States senate.

VANCE CONSIDERABLY SAYS
DEALER.

Charles A. Wright of the big mule
firm of Hayes and Wright, returned
this morning from a trip of several
days to Indiana and Kentucky where
he bought a number of mule colts.
Mr.. Wright is inclined to the opinion
that the mule market is on a decid-
ed up grade. The high price Of cot
ton, he says, has already had much
better prices for the long cared ami
mails than the farmers here have been
able to secure in long time 1t Is
his judgment that an investment in
mule now is likely to be a profitable
one.

 This was the gist of Manager Bres- nahan's diseussion on future prospects for the Chicago Cubs. He is dissatis- fed with the veterans, not only be- cause the majority of the players on the present Cub team are ..old fellows. .. but because he likes to build up a club to play. act and do according to the Roger Bresnahan rules of the national pastiIne.

All I want them to do is play according to the rules l Set down. Being youngsters. they will fish a reputation for themselves. and the result will be that they will fight. If they lose under these conditions then will be satisfied
 -T don't want to say anything detri- mental about the old timers on the present Cub team. Their past record shows that they can deliver, but they don't play my kind of baseball, and as every manager has a. different idea of how the game should be played the boys don't like to have me putting in on their pet schemes.

 For some reason or other handicap much in vogue between the leading many years they have been popular are few other branches of sport iE which handtcaps are not made the me- dium of equalization in skill. The end aimed at is close competition and when this obtains the interest of the fan is increased

 Now you'll presume that having won two bets and lost one that the boob came out ahead. Well. he didn't. He lost money on his three wagers be- cause St. Isidore paid only to to win and nothing for place. In other words. the boob put up SIS. won two out of three bets and lost a total of s10.
