The Cedar Grove school is this year
under the charge of Mr.. Lewis M. Ma.
hafey, former pupil of ours. We found
this school much smaller in numbers
than ne had expected, though the pros
pect is good for full school. Still we
saw children in less than a mile of the
school house playing in the yards. This
ought not to be so. Here is a good
teacher, and the State is furnishing the
most Of the money to pay him, and yet
some of the people seem Indifferent.
ru.re "ere only eleven scholars present
the day We called out of forty or more in
the neighborhood. This house is too
small entirely, and Of this fact the pa.
irons themselves are convinced, as they
intend to build twenty foot addition to
it this winter. This is progress in the
right direction, but don't stop when you
get up shell but carry it forward until
you have it furnished and equipped.

Scaled Like a Serpent.

Policeman Edward Dawson of the
Fourth district on FRIDAY visited the
Geological Garden, not to see the ami.
mails, but to seek medical advice, says
the Philadelphia Press. On officer
.Dawson's hand, between the second and
third fingers, is little open wound no
larger than pinhead, that has remained

black snake in Australia. BE wanted 10

had any particular specific for the bite Of
snake, and remarkable story.
Dawson passed his boyhood in Berwick
township, Gibbs Land, Province of Vic
toria. When boy of fifteen years,
playing in the bush. be was bitten. BE
ran home and his mother sucked The
wound to extract the venom. His father,
who was high police official sent for Pro.
fessor Halford, of the Melbourne hospi.
tai, who injected ammonia into the lads
wrist, and no i'll effects Immediately fol-
lowed from the bite.
But for years Dawson has suffered from
most perplexing malady, which he can.
not but attribute 10 the snakes bite. AZ
soon as spring weather comes the palms
of his hands develop scaly eruption
which looks like the under part of 8
snakes body, and like trouble appears
in streaks on the legs below the knees
and on the feet. The very puncture ir
the wrist, where Professor HalfOrd in
jected the ammonia, always shows a darA
circle around it. The eruption is very
painful, and Policeman Dawson has diff
fculty in gripping his club when it il
necessary to have it ready in discharge o
his duty.

We spent a pleasant hour last week
with Profs. Kemp and Breazeale at the
Belton High School. These gentlemen
have we'll ordered school iu all respects,
and have added this year an additional at
traction in the shape of an Art Depart
ment, in charge of Miss Holloway. we
were shown some beautiful specimens of
work by her pupils, which, to our unprac.
ticed eye. did credit to berselfand her pu.
pills. This is we'll equipped school in its
teaching force, and it will be still better
when the new school building goes up.
And we heard a good many loud whis-
periDgs about that, snd come even whis.
pered about a graded school. That's
right, friends, move right along on that
line, and you will thus bring the cost of
tuition to the minimum, and attract pop
ulation and business 10 your town.

Sad Suicide.

CHARLOTTE, N. G., Nov. 25.-A mcst
remarkable case of suicide is reported
from Thomasville, small village on the
Richmond &. ..Danville Railroad, between
Lexington and High Point. 1t seems
that Miss Essie Westmorelond, q pretty
girl of sixteen summers became engaged
to young man of that place, but on
account of her youthfulness her parents
declined to consent to their marriage,
and forbid the young man to call on their
daughter. They kept close watch over
the girl and would not allow her to meet
the young man on any occasion. Miss
Essie thought such proceedings more
than she could stand, and asked her pa
rents when they would allow her to marry
She was told that under no consideration
would they ever give their consent until
she reached the age of twenty. To live
four more long years without husband
was thing the young girl did not care
to do, and how it could be done was a
question past her understanding or ways
of finding out.
A FATAL NOTE.
On last Friday afternoon Miss Essie's
lover sent her note asking il he could
accompany her to church on that night.
She was willing, but her mother sent the
young man word saying no. The girl
wept aloud and went out ofthe room
saying: "This will be the last of me |"
Her mother, however, took no notice Of
the remark thinking it would all soon
pass off. It was then dark and Miss
Essie, securing rope, went quietly into
the back yard and mounting the fence
by the side of a big cedar tree, she quick.
ly adjusted one end to limb and then
placing the other about her neck she
eased off and was suspended at the end
of the rope. Ofcourae her neck was not
broken, as there was no tall at all. The
deliberation of the act is shown in the
fact, that had she repented, she could
have saved herself By throwing her hands
up and catching the limb. But she made
no noise, although it is thought she did
not die sooner than twenty minutes after
swinging of. Her body was found before
it had become cold. 1t was instantly
taken down and all manner Of means
,sere resorted to bring life into it but it
was of no avail and she was buried at
Thomasyille yesterday.

Eureka School is again In the hands
of Miss Zella Campbell, former teacher.
When we went in there the other day we
found the teacher with twenty pupils,
and benches and chairs to the front of
us, benches and chairs to the right of us,
and benches and chairs to the left of
US, and while they did not "volley and
thunder" at us, yet they greatly endan-
gered our shins and those of the pupils.
If we were the teacher at that school ne
would certainly pile up these benches
and chairs somewhere out of our way.
There is good building here, and they
have an experienced teacher at the helm,
but she hasn't any tools much to work
with, and of course cannot do AS good
work as she otherwise would. But she
is working hard all the same, and has
some good material to work on as we had

We spent pleasant hour last week at
the Baptist Female College in the rooms
presided over by Miss Maggie Evans and
Miss Lois Watson. These young ladies
gave US very cordial reception, and let
us witness some of the exercises of their
classes. In Miss Maggie's room We nit.
messed an admirable Chart drill by the
"wee ones." and also listened to song by
the same class. These little chaps could
all read we'll, much better, in fact, than
some of the older ones that ne have
heard try it. In Miss Lois room the
class was carried through an exercise in
writing letters, which did credit to them
selves and their teacher. We we're glad
to note this, for it is a matter in which
most children are deficient in our public
schools. We are glad to note the sue
cessful opening Of this institution, and
we propose, at future day, to call on
the other teachers and pay them our
respects, which lack of time prevented US
from doing that day.

Cocaine's Victim.
"Give me the sweet cocaine"

GlY6 Iu6 lEc SWEEP CUCalut.
These were the last words of DR.. ]. w.
Underhill minute before he died few
days ago. Miles Beatty, his faithful at
tendant, handed him the bottle. Tremb.
ling like an aspen ne convulsively grasp
ed it. but could not get the bottle to his
lips. His teeth were clinched together.
He hung on to his attendant as he leaned
back against several pillows. The at.
tendant put the bottle to his lips. The
dying man made desperate struggle to
force his tongue to the fascinating liquid,
but the angel of death stood over his
shoulder, and the teeth were as firmly
glued together as the sutures of a skull,
and the mouth would not open. a second
ofexhaustion now came over the dying
man, then spasm, and, grasping his
attendant by the neck, his heart stopped,
his pulse ceased, he fell back limp and
was dead.
Like all habitual cocaine fen9s, the
doctor was subject to horrible decisions.
He imagined thatsomebody, some enemy,
was continually pursuing him, trying to
kidnap him. Delirium tremens patients
frequently imagine they sec horrible
animals, gigantic monsters all mouth and
no body, of all colors, and with numer-
Gus legs and claws, but the doctor had
none of these. His ballucination was
always tho same. Some enemy was after
him.
The death certificate will read "death
from lockjaw," as that was the immedi.
ate cause of his death. A week ago
Monday, while ealing with q rusty silver
plated fork, he dropped it with sufficient
force to penetrate the exterior portion
of the left ankle. Only one prong pen;
etrated the flesh. No blood came from
the wound, which healed. Yet afterward
the limb became swollen, and symptoms
of blood poisoning set in.
A specialist in cocaine last year pre-.
dicted that his death would be sudden
one, probably from pneumonia or pleu'
risy, OF an accident, which person with
less impaired constitution would resist
and throw off. And so it was. The
slight wound from the fork which a man
in perfect health would have paid nc
attention to, in The doctors case, with
his constitution sapped by the use o.
cocaine: proved fatal.
The quantity Of cocaine he could take
! in day amounted to forty or fiffy grains
He wanted it every half hour or hour
He generally took it in three or fve,grair
doses. 1t produced sort of stupor, and
| twas no uncommon thing for the children
| of the house ia enter his room aud fine
him in doze, conscious, yet stupeGed.
He told curious tale about his becom
ing addicted to the habit. He was a
one time q director of the Cincinnati
Hospital, about the time the anmsthetit
quality of cocaine was discovered lii
1884 some leading physicians, he said
wished to Try the experiment on him
lie was hale and hearty, had no constitu
tional disease, no hereditary taint, ant

acter and will power. He tried it, ant
found it to be an octopus, out Of whos

escape.-Cs Cincinnati Enquirer.

Across the creek and almost ia sight,
stands Calhoua,s one of the educational
landmarks Of the County. More than
forty years ago this spot had already
become noted as one of the educational
centers of the County, and it was here
that several men who afterwards figured
prominently in the public affairs of the
County, first received an impetus forward
iu the development of their minds. No.
table among these was Senator Joseph
E. Brown, Of Georgia. This school is
again under charge Of tie same teacher
they had last year, Miss May Russell,
and while, of course, we must let others
speak, it is not out of place to say that
the fact that she has been chosen to pre-.
side over the school a second time, is
some evidence of the favor in which she
is held by her patrons. This school
house is good one, but it does need
something in the way of furniture, such
as seats and desks, that the children may
be more comfortable, and have better
facilities for writing, and that the teacher
may the better preserve order. The
difference in the order and in the pro.
gress of the pupil is very perceptible in
those school houses where they have
these,

Just beyond the shadow of Bolton the
Bleak Hill folks have caught the spirit
of the march of improvement, and have
erected commodious school building,
where ne found Miss Mamie Callahan,
with twenty.four pupils, hard at work.
There is quite a contrast in her present
comfortable quarters and the abandoned
house where we found her last winter.
This house is evidence of the hold Miss
Mamie has upon these people aud the
good work she is doing for their children.

on, friends, until you get your house
