There fore, I Feel that I am not itt any way transgressing the hounds ol' propriety in criticising; thc present most unfair and iucilicicut system ol' selection ol' school t'tistrcs. " The trustees have in their hunda practically thc whole man agement ol' titi' achoo!. They choose the teacher or teachers, anti in general form the governing budy. The trus tees, th- ifl'ore, ought to ho elected by the taxpayers who support tho school. They ouirht to he thoroughly represen tative men who shall represent tho whole community, and not any mere set or rael ?on or portion ot' it. And tin' only way in which such tl board ot' trus tees can bo obtained is through elec tion, ami not by appointment ot' the Cou u ly Superintendent ol' Kducntinu. How ran tiny one now understand the needs ol' every community in the Coun ty? lt is impossible I'm any County Superintendent io know just who to appoint in every school district. He is. then lore, very api io br inttiicuced in his appoint meiits hy personal feel in gs, or where ho is unacquainted, hy sug gestion i ro n particular individu?is. H tim trust?es were elected, a re spectable hoard would bo much more apt to br obtained, ami consequently the t rue interest ol' thc school would be considered moir carefully ?iud oflieienl ly. Alni, moreover, thal greatest of all dangers to the public school-that fac tor which is one of Hie greatest, ?d'all harriers und preventives in the way of a Round and cllicient system of public school ethical ion-denominational self seeking; would be held in check. The question nf denomination ought never tobe suffered jo enter into considera tion in conm dion with.a public school. What wc want is a goml, competent, i Undent, represen I a ti ve board of trus tees who shall, each nutt all. take per sonal interest in thc school, ?iud who shall always be candid to realize '.lie ir.spousibilitirsolVtheir position? and in general io do all in their power lo ad vance l hr ra use ol' sou nd education.

Ashley ha? deceived the people Hie worst of any man that hus ever been elected to tho House of Representa tives from Anderson County. We have heard Josh Ashley say time nf ter time that thc dispensary law waa the best solution of tho liquor ques tion, and then seeing that ho was losing friends in the dispensary ranks, he lakes u]> prohibition and runs all over Anderson County telling lies about the management of the Start; dispensary. Wt; have, always thought, until the 1 ist campaign that Josh AsTdey was un honest, tnt!bini legislator, 'but. not being satisfied with lying about the manag? mont of tho dispensary, he goes to telling ihr people that he has not drank ? ny liquor in such and such n lune, anti ail this time ho is begging om- ni' Hu- members of the State Hoard ol Control for sample bottles ol'liquor. ls mu this deceiving the noonie? Please tell us. ..Tyro."
