Last of the Old Tennessee Charcoal
Iron Furnaces Passes.

Tennessee very early in its history
produced considerable iron by the
most primitive methods. Outcroppings
of ore deposits which have had much
to do with the industrial development
of the Cumberland region were dis
covered even before Tennessee was
admitted into the Union, and SUI
perior quality of iron, and remark
able quantity of it for the time, was
produced in small charcoal furnaces
from brown hematites found in the
central part of the State.
The oldest of these Tennessee char
coal iron works, the Cumberland fur
mace, dates back to 1893. Here, ac-
cording to history and tradition, were
cast the cannon balls which helped
General JACKSON to win the victory
of New Orleans.
These old style charcoal furnaces
practically all passed out of use years
ago. Even the famous old Cumber-
furnace with modern equipment and
methods. A good example of the char
coal furnace, the Dover furnace, was
in operation a short time ago. Com
pared with the Cumberland, the Dover
was youthful institution, being only
ninety-two years old. But it was
never modernized; just as 1t stood in
1928 it is to-day, an old style, hillside,
stone stack, cold blast, charcoal iron
furnace. 1t has an open top and
front, and It's Stag, of the consistency
of warm molasses candy, was dragged
out of Its mouth with hook and
chain by big windlass wheel turned
by negro hand power.
The swan song of this last sur
vivor of Tennessee's many charcoal
iron furnaces appeared In n recent
number Of the GAINESVILLE Leaf Chron-
icle. The author signes the initials
&c. NJ" which we may say with
out betraying any condolences stand
for GRAHAM MACFARLANE, Sr., who
was the operator of the furnace. In
the days before the civil war the prop
erty. he says, was a principally of
, 10000 acres Of land with 400 slaves
digging ore. making charcoal and rails
ing on its broad acres grain and meat
for man and beast-truly n self-con-
tanned community and n self-sustained
institution. ats owner was a feudal
baron. benevolent autocrat, but none
the less nm autocrat."
Then he writes what the owners Of
most great iron works are unable TO
say Of their property:
I'm my time the boundaries of the
estate are much narrowed. but even
now the owner can stand on the hill
| back Of the furnace and. looking at
the horizon on all sides. can feel that
everything in sight Is his that
GoMPERs and TRoTzKY can't come
there because he says MOI"
There we're I'm the last few years
some concessions made.t to modern in
novations in that an ore washer and
jigs were introduced into the works
and that an analysis Of raw material
took the place Of the old style guess
work. But the charcoal was cooled
on open hearths in the woods and
hauled TO the furnace by mule teams.
All the operations were shrouded
in "the mystery so dear to the old
fashioned foundry man" The night
cast was pulled off with due theatric
effect, "the keepers and all the other

A Living Basis for the Farmer.

When a farmer all through 1920
raised his crops on the basis of in
ordinately high labor costs, costs OF
supplies, costs of bank loans, costs Of
everything, and then at market time
near the end of the year wheat went
under S1.50 a bushel, corn under 20
cents a bushel and cotton under. III
cents a pound, there is no argument
as to whether he can sell his product
at profit. He can't. His case is no
different from that of the man who
bought his Liberty bond at par but
must let 1t go, If he has to sell, for
What it will fetch in the open market.
But the story does not end here, and
it cannot end here.
If it is clear that the farmer can
not sell his crop for more than some
body will pay for it, no matter what
It cost him to raise it, it is just as
clear that the farmer isn't going to
go on raising bumper crops at heavy
loss. The cheapest way out for him,
If production costs will not come
down, will be to quit or to limit his
crop for the next year so that the
price will again 90 sky high. Then
will the consuming public be sore
afflicted
But the best way of all for the pro-
ducing farmer, for his labor, for those
who sell him his supplies and for the
public which consumes his products
is for the country to get back on
normal basis. Then the farmer Gan
get back on normal basis where
wheat, corn and cotton can be raised
Mt such costs that they can sell as
low as they sold last week, even
lower, and yet cash him in profit.
When the American farmer cannot
raise his crops on living basis no
body else in this country is going to
do his work or business for very long
on living basis.

An Englishwoman Asks Fair Play.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Is New
York to be run by the Irish? Is their
flag to be unfurled and allowed to fly
unmolested. while ours of the British
Empire is subjected to indignity? If the
English flag is suppressed, then, too, the
Irish emblem must come down.
There are English people and English
sympathizers in this country who are all
loyal Americans and good citizens, more
SO than half of these so-called Irish
Americans whose main effort seems to
be to incite rioting and trouble. Are the
latter jealous of the prosperity and peace
of this land of the free and are they try
ing to instil in it's people their ideal of
Irish happiness, that is, fighting and
sedition?

The state Commission on Prisons
has received a report condemning the
Tombs as a place of detention for girl
truants, two of whom were recently
sentenced to imprisonment in this
historic pile 1t is only fair to re-
member that the Warden of the
Tombs did not lock these prisoners up
with other offenders, but kept them
in the prison office and that they
were in the institution for only a few
hours. The Tombs is no place for
truants. even if imprisonment is the
proper penalty for truancy, but these
girls were carefully protected from
evil influences while in the prison.

DIR. BUTLER ASSAILS

of Columbia, Makes World

HIGH IDEALS LOSE GROUND
University, States Annual Re-
port, in Best ConditioD Ever,
but Needs $30,000,000.

Or, Nicholas Murray Butler. president
of Columbia University interpolated in
his annual report of the affairs of the
university, which was made public yes
terday description and a condemnation
of what he terms the new paganism,"
after nearly two thousand years of
Christianity much of the world resem-
bles the Athens of st. Paurs time.
Ancient Athens" says DR.. Butler,
was wholly given to idolatry, but in
the modern case there are as many idols
as there are idol worshippers, and every
such worshipper finds his idol in the
looking glass. Man has tended. during
the last two or three centuries during
which the world has been in state of
intellectual upheaval, to become an ex-
IRENE egotist, feeling superior to all that
has gone before. and without faith iii
anything that hes beyond.
1.-THE time has come once again to re-
peat and to expound in thunderous tones
the noble sermon of st. Paul on Mars
Hill, and to declare to these modern
idolators: Whom. therefore, we igno-
rantly worship, Him I declare unto
you"
DR.. Butler believes that there can be
40 cure for the worlds ills and no
abatement of the worlds discomfort I'M
til faith and the rule of everlasting prin-
ciple are again restored and made SUI
preme in the life of men and nations.

Many Teachers Not Teachers.


Teachers in all institutions are too
often not teachers, he says. but propa-
gandists for some doctrine of their own
liking. Continuing he says
For quarter century American edu-
cational practice has been steadily losing
its hold upon guiding principle and has,
therefore, increasingly come to float and
drift about upon the>tide of mere opinion,
without standards. without purpose and
without insight. The little red school
house of the generation that followed
the civil war, with its wretchedly poor
equipment but with an earnest and de-
voted teacher who laid stress upon char
acter building and upon the fundament-
ais Of intellectual training, did more for
the American people than does many q
costly and well equipped educational
palace II is as dscouraging as 1t is
startling to find Henry James. so lately
as 1913. describing the college town
which he knew best as utterly arid and
vacuous.'
This decline In educational power is
primarily the result of widely influ-
entail and wholly false philosophy OF
education which has operated to destroy
the excellence of the American school
and college, as these existed a generation
ago, without putting anything in its
place."
DR.. Butler criticises the theory that
children must not be guided or disci-
plined by their elders, but that they
must be permitted to give full and free
expression TO their own individuality
(which can Of course only mean their
own utter emptiness"
Such a theory would sentence the
world to remain forever In the imma-
= - tt1v,
would be helped to stand on the Shout
ders of it's predecessors.
life would then be merely an ever
lasting beginning, devoid of accomplish
ment and without other aim than the
multiplication of nervous reactions to
various accidental and rapidly succeed
ing stimuli" he remarks.
DR.. Butler does not feature politics In
his report, but has something to say
about II.
"The demagogue, the persistent and
plausible self-seeker. and those who pos
sess or can command the large sums OF
money needed to advertise themselves,
occupy the largest place In the public
eye and actually come to think OF them
selves and be thought of as representa-
tive Americans" he says. 1T is not
surprising that at least three-fourths OF
the best ability end best character in
the United States remains in hiding"
DR.. Butler states that the university
was In a more satisfactory condition AT
June 30, 1920 the end of the year on
which he reports. than ever before in Its
history. The corporation Is without
floating debt and is accommodating al
100000 annually reserve fund to
liquidate at maturity the bonded In
debtedness on its site. Nevertheless
sac, 900 600 is needed for buildings and
for other purposes Salary increases
amounting to approximately half mill

Must Destroy Man Made Gods.

These millions of man made gods,
he says, these myriads of personal
idols, must be broken up and destroyed,
and the heart and mind of man brought
back to a comprehension of the real
meaning of faith and it's place in life.
This cannot be done by exhortation or
by preaching alone. 1t must be done
also by teaching; careful, systematic,
rational teaching. that will show In a
simple language which the uninstructed
can understand what are the essentials
of permanent and lofty morality, of a
stable and just social order, and of a
secure and sublime religious faith"
DR.. Butler expresses the opinion that
education has been gradually losing it's
high standards during the last twenty
five years. He discusses briefly public
criticism of present day education. say
ing that scholarship In this country is
not popular and that the ruling passion
is not to know or understand, but to ger
ahead TO overturn something, to apply
in ways that viii bring material advan-
tage some bit OF information or some
acquired skill.
This. he says, has caused colleges and
schools to take their minds off their true
business of preparing youth to live in
order to prepare youth to make living.
He recommends that the elementary
school be brought back to its own proper
business of better education, rescuing
IL from faddists and enthusiasts of every
type
