Democrats Farmesviile, La, special says:
News has just reached here that J. r.
Carroll, living near the town of Marion,
this parish, was shot and killed from am
bush near his home. The deceased was
on his return home from
Monroe, La, where he had
been on business. The murderer
was hidden in an old corn crib on the
farm of r. M. Alexander on the road
which Carroll had to pass on his way and
he received a full load of shot in his face,
and from which death resulted instantly
A small negro boy was with Carroll, but
at the time of the shooting was in the
wagon asleep. The coroner's jury is still
investigating the matter. A pocket knife
and riding whip were found in the crib
and the murderer was tracked for over
mile, when his track was lost The kill
ing is thought to be the outcome of the
Cox-Carroll trouble, by which two men
have already lost their lives and several
have been seriously wounded, and the
prosecution of which has cost the parish
already over $1,000 Great excitement
and indignation prevail in the Marion

A Death Probably From Malaria Gives
Rise to a Yellow Fever Rumor.
Jesup, Ca, Sept. 3O.-C. ]. Warren, a
young white man, died here this afternoon
about o'clock. A short while after his
death Hon. H. w. Whaley received a tele-
gram from Mayor McDonough of Savan-
nah reading as follows: "Charlie Warren
reported dead with yellow fever.
Wire full particulars" MIR. Whaley
turned the telegram over to Mayor
Steele with the request that he reply.
Mayor Steel replied that the death was
from malarial fever, which is
so declared by the attending physician,
DIR. EasOn, and also by Drs. Tuten and
Samuels, the latter the government Off
Ger stationed here. Mayor Steele also
wired that if the Savannah authorities
were not satisfied, to send yellow fever
The mayor and aldermen are endeavor-
ing to ascertain who reported the
case as yellow fever, and if he is
found out it will 90 hard with
him. They are also doing all in their power
to have an expert examine the body and say
what was the cause of death, and if not
by yellow fever, that all fears may be al
layed. If death was caused by yellow
fever, it is not the intention of the au-
thorities to suppress the fact, but on the
other hand6faesawould want the world to
know it. W.
There is no reason to suppose that the
deceased's death was caused by yellow
fever, as he had been in no infected dis
trict for the past three weeks. A tele-
gram has just been received at midnight
from Surgeon Murray at Brunswick, say
ing that he will come here. A special
train is being made up here to go for him.
He is expected to arrive about 4 a. m.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-The Tribune this
morning says: Sugar is scarce in Chi
cago, so scarce in fact, that famine
confronts the housewives of Chicago.
They are unable to get the requisite
amount for their daily needs from retail
grocers, and those dealers in town cannot
obtain enough sugar from the wholesale
dealers to supply even half the demands
of their customers. The wholesale deal
ers say the refneries are not turning out
more than enough sugar to supply half
the demand. Representatives of the su-
gar trust say the market is short over
j. .OO0, 900 barrels of sugar, and that no re-
lief can be looked for in the near future. :"

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 3O.-It is reported
here that ex-Congressman Thomas e.

TO make a cross roads canvass

There is another interesting political
report in circulation here this week-that
Hon. w. Y. Atkinson viii give way to
Steve Clay in the gubernatorial race. Mr..
Atkinson was in the city to-day, but has
nothing TO say about politics. Messrs.
Clay and Atkinson would draw largely on
the same element for strength, aud the
understanding is that they have come to
the conclusion that for both 70 remain ia
the race means that neither will get the
nomination, besides Mr.. Atkinson would
be bitterly opposed by the veterans, and
therefore, taking everything else into
consideration the report is that he viii
not be a candidate, but throw his support
70 Mr.. Clay, for which he Is 70 be Temem-
bered In the future.

SCHOOLS OF THE STATE.

Weak Teaching Manifest in the High
Schools and in the Advanced Grammar
Grades.
The annual report of the state board
of education is out and is interesting.
The first italicized statement in
the report is that in. in too
all the schools of a town, children of
twelve do not know more than children
at eight can easily know"
1t then cites without name, one town
having six schools in which thirty-sev
children averaging more than 10 years
and having been more than six years at
school could not subtract from %,
from II, could not divide 81 by 9, 81 by
3, were lamentable failures in simple
multiplication, didn't capitalize their
sentences, nor their u.s." were not
acquainted except in rare instances,
period, the ap 'strophe and quotation
marks, couldn't spell busy, comb,
cents, eyes, collar, goes, to-day and like
small words, spelling correctly only 1872
out of $40.
This school is contrasted with another
in which the children are only eight
years old and have been studying only
two years. The precocious youngsters
proved themselves proficient in Platt's
United States history, Irving's sketch
book, Greek heroes, Longfellow, Haw-
readers III and ", Shaler's geology,
could multiply and divide even in frac-
tions, had fair knowledge of percent
age and could capitalize and punctuate
to perfection. The report attributes the
contrast to bad teaching in the first case
and good teaching in the second.
The report states that reading is gen
orally neglected, that few teachers
know how to teach penmanship, that in
general the school system of the
state does not supply any assurance that
The only conditions absolutely essential
are that the teachers shall be employed
and the school house kept open. 1t is
not even necessary that the studies pre-
scribed by the state shall be taught.
The report attributes all the trouble to
the few calls by the official school
visitors. 1t is also set forth that the
| high schools do not lend helping hand
to the elementary schools, that the high
schools do not aid the main body of the
youth in a town and "should prove
their right to exist by creating a de
mand for their special training and by
fitting youth for useful occupations
Notably is weak teaching manifest ir
the high school and in the advanced
grammar grades of the elementary
schools. Memory exercises can be giver
while the whole process of learning il
fatal to thinking"
The full sum of state money paid tt
the towns was $241, 1861. so. The amount
paid to teachers altogether in state anc
town moneys was 81, 1868, 432 81. Thu
receipts, compulsory and voluntary
were So, 009, 1888 38. The average schoo
attendance was 84,304, and each chile
| cost the state $2205.
Hygiene, physics and chemistry ar,
advocated as fit subjects for study il

DEATHS AT THE STATE PRISON.
The Mortality During the Few Past Years
Very High,

Very High.
George w. Beach, a prisoner at Weth-
ersfeld, sentenced for burglary, who had
nearly a year to serve, died yesterday
from consumption. The Hartford
papers say that Beach belonged in Wa
terburY and was well connected. Chief
of Police Egan said to day that he had
no knowledge of anyone by the name of
Beach sent to state prison from this
city.
The number of deaths at the state
prison for 1893 is now seven. The death
rate for the past fourteen years shows
some interesting facts, From 1879 to
1855, inclusive, the death rate per 1000
is as follows: 1879, %; 1880, 10; 1881,
Is; 1889, 10; 1888, Z; 1884, 13; 1885, 80
The average for the seven years was at
the rate of 16 per 1000.
From 1886 to 1892, inclusive. the
death rate per 1000 is as follows: 1885,
so; 1887, SO; 1888, 81; 1889, 40; 1890; 80;
1891, 81; 1899, Al. The average for the
past seven years is SO per 1000. The
death rate for the past seven years is
thus seen to be nearly $50 per cent
greater than for the preceding seven
years. These figures are based upon an
average number of 300 prisoners. The
past few years the number confined
there has averaged less instead of more
than that number.
The number of patients in the hospi-
tai now is seven and all are doing we'll
The only men now IN the west end are
the five insane men, who are receiving
regular rations. Comparatively few
men are now punished by sending them
to the west end. Occasionally one goes
there for more than twenty-four hours,
but the cases are very rare.
What effect the new order of things
has upon the discipline it may yet be
too early to judge. Thus far, however,
the effect, apparently, is not detrimental
to the good order of the prison. Last
night there were $50 prisoners within
the prison walls and as they came in
from work, at 6 o'clock, the order main
tanned was perfect. Not a word had to
be spoken and each man took his two
slices of bread and went to his cell with
out murmur. The cup of tea was
waiting for him at his cell door and
picking this up he shut himself in and
IN five minutes the prison was quiet as
at midnight. Every man was in his
cell and from that time till morning the
most perfect quiet prevails. The watch
men go about their beats noiselessly and
all conversation is carried on in a
whisper.
The report of the investigating COM
mittee will probably not be ready to
submit to the legislature till the last of
the week.
