The announcement, by his friends,
of L W Gilland. Esq, as a candidate
for Mayor of Kinjrstree arpears in
another column of this paper. Mr
Gilland has filled this office before in
a manner highly creditable to himself
and with satisfaction to the
citizens. In his candidacy The Record
feels safe in saying that this is
a case of the "office seeking the
man, and not the man seeking the
office."
Cotton took a lively spurt upward
Monday, and reached $27.50 for
spots. It strikes us that this is an
opportune time to turn loose any
cotton that is still being held by
farmers. Apparently there is a big
difference between 8 cent cotton and
27 cent cotton, but its not so great
after all to the fellow who has to
buy corn at $2.25 per bushel for his
s^ock and meat for his table at 25
cents the pound. The first and paramount
object of every farmer should
be to raise his own food-stuffs, so
that when he gets a check for his
cotton he won't have to spend it for
Western raised meat, corn and flour.

Never, perhaps, in the history of
American journalism }ias there been I
so great a demand upon country,
neswpapers for free space by really
big firms, chief among which is the .
Federal Government. Nearly every '
one of its executive departments has1
its quota?and if the average country
weekly attempted to publish one
third of the matter "released for
publication" by these departments
there'd be absolutely no space left
the publisher in which to air his
views editorially or to dispose of to,
his advertisers. We have always
felt that the government should
pay for advertising space at regular
space-rate. It would be nothing
more nor less than the fol
lowing of a business principle largely
adhered to by big corporations
all over the country, and as a matter
of fact the Federal Government
has no more right to expect free ad- J
ertising space at the hands of coun- j
try publishers than it has to expect
or ask free transportation of its
troops or supplies at the hands of
the railroad or steamship companies.
Space is the stock and trade of
the newspaper publisher?the sale
of advertising space provides his
bread and butter, and if he were
to give space, free, to one-third of
the "stuph" received from the various
departments of the government
he would have nothing to sell, and
in a little while would find himself
too poor and hungry to stand alone.
An annoying source among the
free space grafters is the weekly
"clifc sheet" sent out by the Nationa/
Liquor Dealers association's headquarters
in Cincinnati, Ohio.
There are many others, which are
gradually finding publicity through
the "Chamber of Horrors," a department
maintained in its weekly (
publication by the American Press!
Association.

, Lincoln and the Negro.
At Lincoln Memorial University.
Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, Dr
William Spencer Currell.president of
i the University of South Carolina,
delivered a few months ago an address
on "The Attitude of Lincoln Toward
the South," which one wishes might;
be in the hands of all the editors in j
the country.
While Dr Currell is unqualified in
| the stress that he places on the loss
! that the South suffered through Mr j
; Lincoln's death and enlarges upon j
j the liberality of his firm purpose to ;
; protect the Southern people from,
persecution subsequent to the war, |
he discusses with utmost frankness .
Mr Lincoln's polical pol cies and
upiti ?ns. He asserts that "when
Lincoln died the South lost her most
generous foe?nay, even more than j
that ?her best friend"?hut he
quotes with discrimination freely
from the records to show thai the
perfervid adulation that Northern
writers bestow upon Mr Lincoln as
the liberator of the slaves is without
any solid foundation in fact.
Indeed, our Northern friends have
fallen so completely under the spell
of the Lincoln tradition that they
have for the most part lost sight of
what the man was, what he said,
and what he did in his earthly career, j
The Lincoln legend of the twen- j
tieth century bears a dim and far-)
away relationship to the hardheaded
and great-hearted country lawyer
of Illinois who was born of the
plain people of Kentucky. As President
of the United States Mr Lincoln
deserves a place in history as
the central figure that worked for
and succeeded in perpetuating the
American Union in the day of its
extreme trial, but the shifting upon
him of a glory that he never sought
as a HI erator of negro slaves is
as unfair to his memory as it is
- n . r^v /"V. ... 11

did not shrink from saving, in kindly
terms but without compromise to
an audience of Northern sympathy
assembled at the institution beating
President Lincoln's name. Mr Lin-1
coin undoubtedly was opposed to the
institution of slavery, but he was
not less opposed to abolishing it by
force of arms in the States where
its existence was guaranteed by the
federal constitution and he was
more than willing to trust to time
ar.d events to remove it without the
accompaniment of violence. It was
his desire long after the War Between
the States had broken out
and while it was being bloodily
waged that the slave owner should
be paid for their property and in
his own conscience he justified emancipation
only as a measure of war
essential to the Union's preservation.
"He had scant sympathy," says Dr
Currell, "with the Abolitionists who
were exceedingly incensed with
him for his tentative and to them
criminally luKewarm attitude towards
the liberation of the blacks."
"In fact," he adds, "Wendell Phillips,
one of the leading Abolitionist
orators, styled Lincoln the 'slavehound
of Illinois.' "
These words quoted by Dr Currell
to his East Tennessee hearers from
Lincoln himself must yield little satisfaction
to the doctrinaires who at
this time have projected upon the
screen of history a Lincoln that never
lived in the flesh or the spirit: "I
have no purpose to introduce political
and social equality between the
white and black races. There is a
physical difference between the two,
which, in my judgment, would probably
forever forbid their living together
upon the footing of perfect
equality, auu luaamuiii as u uctuuirs
a necessity that there must be a difference,
I, as well as Judge Douglas,
am in favor of the race to which I
belong having the superior position."
In the Central Mississippi Valley 1
it may be that the memory of the
true Lincoln still abides and presides
and if it dots there can be no doutt i
that in all the years the master race
will assert itself. Mr Lincoln in his
boundless endowment of common
sense steered constantly away from
extremists of all sections and look- i
ing the facts of the race question
rather than of the slavery question
in the face, was only turned in part
from his opinion when in the clash
of war it was for a time obscured.
It can not be said that ever he abandoned
it and he repeatedly made
plain before his death his purpose to
treat the negro people in a manner
according with the convictions of
his lifetime. For a little while the
maddened partisanship of Thad Stevens,
Ben Wade and their coconspirators
set aside and checked the
Lincoln plan, but in a few years new
life was breathed into it by the
Southern people, of whom Lincoln
was one in blood, and even now as
the years pass it is receiving its destined
vindication.
These are some of the reflections
compelled by the candid discussion
of the subject by Dr Currell?
a discussion characterized in its
language by that clarity and sim-1
plicity that so greatly distinguish'
his scholarship.? The State, j l|
