BIG MAJORITIES FOR FENCE.
NO STOCKLAW FOR THE TWELFTH
AND SIXTH DISTRICTS.
Ballots Piled Up Strong and High Against
1t. Stocklaw Advocates "NOt In It,"
Talk of County Election.

The elections on the fence question
in the Sixth and Twelfth districts
Thursday resulted disastrously to the
advocates of stocklaw.
They were simply mot in it, in
either district, and when the polls
closed their hopes were buried beneath
an avalanche of adverse ballots.
Great interest was manifested in the
elections by both sides, and full vote
was pOlled in each of the districts, In
the Sixth district fence had majority
OF lOl, the vote standing 169 for fence
to 6S for stOcklaw. In the Twelfth
district the majority for fence was r.
the vote being 156 to "a.
There are only two districts in the
county in which the stOcklaw is not in
operation, and the residents of these
who want to abolish the fence system
have about despaired of ever doing so
unless county election is held. There
was considerable talk after Thursdays
election of petitiOning the ordinary
for county election, but when it be-
came known that the law provides that
such an election can only be held on
the second Wednesday in July the
idea was abandoned for the present
because there was not sufficient time
in which to secure the necessary sig
natures and publish the required no.
tice.
1t is very probable, however, that a
general election will be held in the
county on this question in July of
next year.

Triton and Ty Ty.

Triton, GA, June 27.-Judge Griggs
spoke here today to a large and appreci-
ative audience. He strongly advocated
the free coinage of silver, regardless of
the wishes of other nations. His argu-
ments were incontroveytible and his ar
raignment of the goldbug element was
scorching and sarcastic in the extreme.
Much enthusiasm prevailed and the
applause was loud and long. Judge
Griggs is making a red-hot campaign.

Feed the Nerves

Upon pure, rich blood and you need
not fear nervous prostration. Nerves
are weak when they are improperly and
insuficiently nourished. Pure blood is
their proper food, and pure blood comes
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which is
thus the greatest and best nerve tonic.
1t also builds up the whole system.

PROF. FOSTER WONT COME.
THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT ASK
ED TO BE RELEASED.
The Board of Commissioners Accepted His
Resignation. The Reasons
He Gave.
He Gaye.

The public school faculty is with
out a head, and the board OF
school commissioners desire applicants
for that responsible position.
Professor S. B. Foster, the new su-
perintendent-elect, reached Dawson
Tuesday morning of last week and re-
manned until Wednesday. While here
he favorably impressed all who met
him.
Before leaving Dawson Profess
sor Foster wrote statement
to the board in which he
requested to be released from the posi-
sion to which he was recently elected,
giving two reasons for doing so. At
ter reciting that during the next ses-
sion there would be seventy or more
pupils in the high school, he said:
''With this number of pupils in the
high school department | think it
would be necessary for the superintend-
ent to spend part Of each day as pre-
siding teacher. AS | am gradually
working myself up to superintendent
in the proper sense OF the word, and as
| have for a number of years done no
presiding but simply class and super
yisory work, to undertake your work
here would be taking class of work
that / have laid aside with the inten-
ton of not resumlng again.
The other reason given by Profess
or Foster for not wishing to come to
Dawson was that the school building
is not a modern one. His resignation
was accepted, and he has been notified
to that effect by the secretary.
The board is now looking for another
superintendent, and the position VIII
not long remain vacant, The right
kind of a man can find pleasant po-
sition here with twO-stOry ten room
building and salary of 81 POO year
that is paid monthly with clock-like
regularity.
A TEACHER ELECTED.

Our Evening SCHOOLS.

With larger registration than
ever, and many evidences of earnest
ness and zeal on the part of those who
"seek to know" the evening schools
of Boston have every prospect of
season of great usefulness Here and
there among the attendants may be
found one who fails to appreciate the
meaning of the evening school, and
seeks merely to 'have good time.
These are simply the exceptions which
prove the rule. As whole the pupils,
young or old, manifest an interest in
their work, and desire to make the
best OF the opportunities offered them,
which are really inspiring to their in
structors.
The evening school for practical
education occupies field all its own,
and aecompllshes marked results for
good along the line of public educa-
ton. 1t enables multitude to make
amends, in large measure at least, for
lack of education in the past, for
which they are in no measure respon-
sible, yet which hinders their advance
ment in every way. Too small pro-
portion of the year is given to even
ing school work in Boston. 1t would
cost something to continue the course
for Il month or so later III the spring,
but no investments pay" better than
those devoted to the spread of useful
knowledge in community like ours.

with fraudulent use OF the United States
mails, is no stranger in Boston, Here
he played pool in the open game of a prUm-

collecting agency, here he hustled for news
for certain newspapers, and here he took
unto himself wife. All that was some
three or four years ago.
Now as to the otfenses against the postal
laws of which he is accused. The plan
which he is said to have pursued was to
convince persons that they were prospective
heirs to an estate valued at about : 500. 900
in Guatemala, and then induce them to send
him money to perform the necessary legal
steps in proving their title to the prUpertv.

The Ether Commcmoration.

The fiftieth anniversary OF the dis
covery of an@sthesia by the use of
ether, which is to be celebrated at the
Massachusetts, general hospital in this
city on October 16, will be a
remarkably interesting occasion.
The general public will have lit
tie opportunity to participate in 1t,
as the hal in which the exercises are
to be held is a small one There will be
a formidable gathering OF those ldentl-
fed with the surgical science OF the
country. Among the men who VIII read
papers are Drs. John Ashurst, Dr., OF
Philadelphia, Daniel w. Cheever and
John p. Reynolds of Boston, Charles
w. McBurney of New York, William H.
Welch of the Johns Hopkins faculty
and s. Weir Mitchell Of Philadelphia.
1t will be remembered, of course, that
the Massachusetts, general hospital
was the place in which the power Of
ether to extinguish suffering was
originally demonstrated. 1t is
understood that the honor of
this discovery is now generally
agreed among investigators of the sub
jeot to belong to DR.. W. II. G. Nor
ION. There was an effect at the time
Of the discovery to deprive him of
this fame, which was continued
for several years, and is not yet
fully ended in one quarter, but the
controversy is practically settled
now.

Interesting Parellel.

Without doubt the letter of mayor
Quincy of Boston to mayor Philemon
of Athens-the Athens in Greece, that
isis or will be most excellent letter,
both in respect to form and substance /;
for Josiah Quincy of Quincy is a
gentleman of fine literary talents, as
were his ancestors. Nevertheless, we
venture to predict that the latter will
not become so famous as isanother epis-
tie to Philemon; the one written some
IS centuries ago by distinguished
native of Tarsus, also highly educated
and student of Greek poetry, The
parallel is particularly interesting be-
cause the older epistle to Philemon
was all about the slavery question the
same sort Of question as that with
which so large part of the history OF
the democratic party, of which mayor
Quincy is 9 distinguished ornament,
has been connected.
