FULL TERN FOR THE RURAL
SCHOOLS


In only Is counties in Tennessee
are rural schools now IN session. In
SO counties the rural schools are
closed and some Of them have not
been able to open this year for the
hack Of sufficient funds on which to
operate. The rural schools Of Tip
ton county will not close until their
regular terms are out and every
school IN the county can have an
eight-months' term, provided the at
tendance is kept up to the require
ments. In one-teaeher school the
average attendance must be at least
is in regular daily attendance.
There are As elementary schools
for white children in the county and
80 for negroes There are nine
schools in the county that teach high
school subjects The school system
Of Upton county is good and every
child in the county has the opportun-
ity Of receiving at least an elemen.
tary education.
The county made great step for
ward when it provided for eight
months sessions in the rural schools
In many Of the counties Of the state
the fact that the payment Of state
and county taxes was put off for go
days has closed the schools. Other
counties make provisions only for
four and six months schools. 1t
should be a source Of pride to the
citizens Of the county that we have
eight months school term and we
are indeed fortunate this year that
the delay in the collection Of taxes
has not made It necessary to crosse
the schools before the end of the
term.

PRESIDENT WILSON TO
RIDE WITH HARDING

Definite arrangements were made
Monday whereby President Wilson
and President Elect Harding will ride
together to the capitol tomorrow,
the former to sign bills passed at the
last minute by congress, and the
latter to bake the oath of office as
president of the United States. The
arrangements as agreed upon Mon
day by Joseph P. Tumulty, secre-
tary to President Wilson, and the
congressional inaugural committee,
are that Mr.. Harding will 20 to the
capitol with Mr.. Wilson at such time
as the latter considers his atten-
dance necessary. This will depend
on the legislative situation tomorrow
morning.
Secretary Tumultv told the joint
congressional committee that Presi-
dent Wilson was very DESTROYS of
accompanying Mr.. Harding To the
capitol.
Whether Mr.. Wilson will view the
inauguration ceremonies Of the vice.
president in the senate chamber or
Of Mr.. Harding on the east portico
Of the capitol. was not discussed at
Mondays conference. This question,
it is understood. win be left to the
decision Of Mr.. Wilson.

KELLEY-sHAW VERDICT


Notwithstanding the apparent
"air Of sympathy" which was evident
in the trial Of Shaw and Kelley, the
Shelby county criminals, we feel that
the jury rendered a fair and i'm
partial verdict and considering all
the circumstances surrounding the
case, are especially to be COM
mended.
The two men in question were par
Elephants in a capital crime and while
there may have been some doubt as
to whether the killing Of the jailer
had been contemplated, still the pair
were engaged in an unlawful act
and the keeper Of the prison was
performing his sworn duty as an
officer Of the law. Reeves stood
between them and liberty and they
did not hesitate to take his life.
It was argued in extenuation Of
the crime that they were driven to
attempt the escape because Of the
cruel and inAuman treatment to
which they had been subjected, but
which they had been subjected, but
little faith is placed in these state
ments since the trial.
Society must be protected against
miscreants Of this class and we con-
graduate both the court and the
jury for their action in the matter.

Officials state that everyone has
had time to come in and pay their
automobile tax and that they are
going to require a display of the
