the discussion.
Next in order was Prof. N. L. Staple
ton and Miss Nellie Burge on How to
Question Pupils" Neither being present.
the teachers called on Professor Wright
to OK en- the discussion, wherewith he pre-
sented plans that received the hearty en-
dorsement of every teacher present. AT
this point Professor Wright had to meet
an engagement elsewhere, and Professor
]. D. McLendon of Sasser was called to
the chair.
Next on the programme was Prof. G.,
G. Patterson and Miss HELEN Giles on
"How to Secure Attention. All the
teachers joined in this discussion and
much enthusiasm arose before it ended
Professors Scarboro, Patterson, Mauk
and Barfield and Miss Parker were the
leading participants in the discussion
which was the most spirited feature OF

"Knots for Teachers to Unite" also re.
ceived the attention of the teachers, af-
ter which Professor Terrell and Miss
Parker were elected to help draft the
programme for the next meeting of the
association.
No other business being before tn:

The court opened at 9 a. M, and

arose over Il pig. Last November Il
Frcnchm2n named Levallcv, who
worked 70, Don Wheeler, bought,
or claims to have bought, il shoat
from Wheeler for S, agreeing to
pay for the same by chopping ten
cords of wood. Lcvailcy's father
went for the pig one day when
Wheeler was away and took it home
with him.
In January Lcvalley sold the pig
to Fred Levcen. In the meantime
Lcvalley chops seven cords of wood
and in April Wheeler secures a writ
of replcvin and takes the pig away
from Lcvccn.
Since April the pig has been
boarded out until the legal questions
of the case could be settled.
The case was argued long and
earnestly in the court and the jury
was out an hour and three quarters.
They finally agreed upon verdict
tor the defendant, Wheeler to pay
the costs of court and return the pig
to LcVcen,

Controversy over a Sharon Pond.

There Is Il controversy IN Sharon
over the control OF Standing pond.
The State claims control over all
waters covering an area of more
than 20 acres, and for several years
has been stocking Standing pond
with fry. Some OF the owners of
land along its shores have lately
posted notices claiming control OF
the pond, but Il recent survey shows
that the pond covers 80 acres.
There is some interest at present to
learn what whether the proposed
scheme of drawing down the water
SO us to reduce the area below 20
acres will be successful

1t is asserted by the tariff mongers
that the manufacturers of the United
States are extremely DESTROYS OF Il
restoration of duties OH the raw ma
terials OF thci, industries, says the
Philadelphia Record. II this be
true they have a remarkably strange
way of showing it. During the
month of April last the imports of
'articlcs in crude condition for do
mestic industry" amounted to the
value of $S3,34o,7oo, against $Ia,-
37S,64o in April, 1896. This enor-
nous increase in the importat'ons of
raw materials consisted almost en-
clusively of such as are threatened
with duties by the tariff bill. For
example, the imports of raw wool
during the month of April last
amounted to oS,547,736 pounds, of
the value of $I7,Ioo,37a, against
Is,o5o,o54 pounds, of the value of
ST., 5o4, aa6, in April, 1896. This
movement has its chief impulse in
the desire of manufacturers to secure
their wool before the Republicans in
congress strike it with prohibitory
duty.
