county should be ascertained through
d complete audit" said Mr.. Otto, the
suits were brought by the prosecuting
attorney. and only one continuance
was granted al the request OF the
prosecution, that being because Of the
serious illness Of the prosecuting at

for trial it was continued at the re-
quest OF an attorney for the defense,
who stated that if it were not conunu-

weeks was then granted.

Henderson County Schools.

Why is it other counties can have
good schools and Henderson just
shut her eyes and goes to sleep?
| think she has slept long enough.
Let's wake her up. Of course she
will be a little sleepy but we can
battle her face with the enthusiasm
of the country teachers, the FOUL
tain of which is ever OVERLOOKING
and going to waste trying to do good
in a 0ne-room about A or 5 months
in the year with 2 months taught in
summer and the remainder in win
ter with a 2 months vacation be-
tween.
What is the matter? Can it be
that we do not love our children, or
can it be we do not think? Or is it
that we just don't know any better
way?
| think that we should pay enough
tax to have at least a seven months
school. W. can have that much
school without interfering with the
making or gathering the crop by
having two months in the summer
just as we have it now. Where is
there a man who would object to
such a tax? Wherever you find
him you will notice he is not edu-
Gated, does not seem to care much
for children and does not comply
with the charity spoken Of in the
Bible.
Some say all we need is a leader.
| do not know whether we have an
officer whose duty it is to see after
such things or not. But if we have
not, let's get a leader and shove
things along and get out of the old
rut where we have been so long.
I approve Of the work that is be-
ing done by our State Superinten-
dent and the other leaders Of educa-
ton in the state. But we, the peo-
pie of Henderson county are not
keeping in line.
VIZ have only A to 5 months
school each year and pay from $50
to $50 per month. The teachers Of
this county have to comply with as
great requirements as the teachers
at any other county in the state.
Although there are other counties
which have from eight to ten months
school and pay their teachers from
$50 to 500.
Some one please tell me what is
wrong and lets get to work and get
it right. Have longer schools and
better teachers and pay them for
their work.
Yours for better schools.

The State Democratic platform
with Gov. Tom C. Rye as a candi-
date for reelection, is all hat can
be wished by those who honestly
favor prohibition and law enforce
ment. The platform goes so far as
to specifically endorse the Custer
Law, the means by which our cities
have been getting rid Of official
crooks, and on that point it goes be-
yond the Republican platform which
might have also definitely
named the Custer Law-but did
not. The liquor crooks have tried
Tom Rye and failed to handle"
him-hence, hate him; but they are
in the fix of having not where to
lay their heads, es it were, because
John W. Overall, the only other can
didate they will have to vote for, is
likewise allied with the law enforce
ment element Of the people. If Jess
Littleton, the delectable mayor OF
the city Of Chattanooga, had made
a bolt, had himself declared the
third candidate for the Governor
ship, by the liquor crowd, with the
sacred principle Of local option as
a cloak, with the Chattanooga Times
to make the fight and the liquor as
sociations to furnish the sinews Of
war, the whole liquor crowd would
have been -happy-and it might
have been dangerous, exceedingly
dangerous. AS the contest for the
goyernorship now stands, Tom Rye
will be reelected by a rousing, old.
fashioned Democratic majority.

GsnsraI Manager Carson Relieved.

The public prints of last Sunday
contained a statement from Nash
vile, dated the 10th inst, that an
order had been issued on that date
relieving D. B. Carson Of the duties
of general MANAGER of that railway
system. There had been rumors
over in Chattanooga Of possible
changes in the official direction of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway, but the general pub
lie was not prepared for what did
come. The matter, however, is not
one that concerns the road and not
the general public.
President John Howe Peyton on
the day Of dismissal Of Mr.. Carson
declined to make any statement as
to why Mr.. Carson was relieved Of
his duties as general manager and
Mr.. Carson also refused to talk Of
the matter. For the present the du-
ties Of general manager will be vest
ed in President Peyton and Theo-
dore Spieden, jr., who has for some
months been filling the place of as
sistant to Mr.. Carson, will continue
in that capacity.

Road Working Day.

In Tennessee July 81, is road
working day and the suggestion has
been made that the people Of Lex
ington and vicinity join forces in
the construction of a selected mile
of road-say one mile Of the road
between Lexington and Hinson
Springs. Let some active good
roads man take the matter in hand
and secure the names of men who
will give their own work and the
use Of teams for the day designated.
The women too can join in the road
building by preparing and serving
dinner on that day. The project is
mighty well worth taking up and
pushing. .

low Prof. Guy Youngerman to 90
away without showing him in some
way how much his efforts, as instuc-
tor in our High School at Huntlant
during the past year, have been ap-
preciated. With fine enthusiasm he
has ably helped to make our school
for the past session the most sue
cessful in the history Of the school.
His work in the classroom was al
ways Of the highest order, inspiring
the students under him with an adj
miration of love for his work. The
school is very fortunate to be able
to secure him for another year.
