As President Roosevelt lftn
died a flame of indignation
In the breast; of ever trae A
roerican citizen by dining
Booker VV98hiogton, to bas
Prof. Basaett.ot Trinity Col-
lege, inflnlted the manhood
. and womanhood of the Son th
bj an article published in the
South Atlantic Quarterly on
the negro question. Referring
to the article in question, the
(JoldBUora Argus says in part
"Shades of the great white
m& nhood of the South he
- roes of the sixties and of Re-
constrnction times states
men of the past and . present
and hopes of the' future, de
fend us from the too much
teaching, of learning or what,
that bas produced this man
Bassett, who from the chair
of history in a great . South
ern college give utterance
tlTough his quarterly publi
cation to the world at large
that not only is a negro as
good. as a white man, but
that no white man has been
- born in the South in a hun
dred years, with t he excep
tion of General Robert E.
Je to equal Booker Wash
ington." It says farther and
we believe truly:
"Trinitv College is a great
institution, and is well known
the Argus is and bas always
' been a friend to Trinity; and
.. as a friend of that college, we
do not hesitate to say that
its.. trustees sbonld meet at
once and expel from the fac
ulty this man Basnet; for no
? self-ieepectini? white man
..would allow his son to remain
a (.Trinity with Basset in the
iacnlty, and unless be is re
.'.moved Trinity College will
pass with him into oblivion."
There were elections held
on Tuenday in ieven stilen.
Full State tickets will he vo
ted for in Maryland, Rhode
Island, MasHuchusetts, Ken
tncky, Ohio and Iowa, while
elections for minor St ate offi
res and important city elec
tions were. held m other. . It
was our hope that we might
have been able to give some
-result, but the prognostica
tions by the State press are,
of conrse, qnite unreliable.
The election in Ohio and the
City of New York, have been
watched with great interest.
The republicans "laim Ohio,
and we take it that they haye
carried everything in sight
there. It is claimed that Mc
Clellan ts elected mayor of
Greater New York. We hope
to give the results of the va
rious elections in our nrxt in
sue.

Please allow me to state
that a teachers' meeting will
t ff .t in
ne neid at. uetni u e a v e r
Da mi Township next Friday.
Also on Saturday following
tbe teachers of Mt-at Camp
will meet at School House,
known as tbe Allen Green
House.
All teachers in these town-
thips will be expected to at
fend.
On Nov. 25th at tbs Thorn
as IlousJ in Northfork Town
ship the last -meeting of the
kind will be .held. : I regret to
say that many teachers have
considered there meeting as a
secondory matter.. I want to
advise all who have not .at
tended these meetings to be
present at one of the above
named dates, those that fail
to do ho will be expected to
fill a written excuse for not
doing so. The school law is
mandatory about these meet
fngs and the Co. Sopt bas no
right to excuse teachers for
nonnttedance.
We are still : collecting for
the'TrainingSchool building.
As. soon as the funds are
available we will .have the
shingles floor and ceilingcut.
It will take a considerable
sum to buy tbe d-'ors, win-,
dove etc. We hope sincerely
that every man that has not
done so will, help this enter
prise

The following from ElUa

too late for our ieeoe of last
week, but as the young, man
has so many relatives in the
county who are interested. -in
the result of the trial, we pub
lish it, even if it is a bit old:
'The State of Tenn. vs. . Wal
ter' Church, in a charge of
murder, was called Thursday
morning. The trial consumed
Thursday and Friday, and
was given to the jury late
Fiiday evening. This case
has been pending in the cir
cuit court for above a year,
and has been watched with
much interest, by people all
over the county." ,
!'Jt requited onlv about an
hour to select tbe jury which
was done before the first ve
nire ofjorty-two men was ex
ha 08 ted. The. jury remained
out over.nigbtaind. returned
the yerdict of, not guilty next
morning when tbe court ie
sumed action there was quite
commotion in the court
room when tbe verdict was
rendered, and utmost the
whole town coiigraula ted tbe
defendant."
