Educational Matters.

Superintendent Of public in,
struction Gillbreath has had pre-.
pared for distribution among the
proper officers copies of House bill
No. 126, which was passed Februa-
ry IL, '97, and approved February
Is, 1897. This bill is entitled San
act to amend an act to establish
and MAINTAIN a uniform system of
public schools, the same being
chapter 25 Of the acts passed March
6,1S73, approved March Is, 1873"
The bill is as follows:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the state of
Tennessee. That section 8, chapter
26, of the acts passed March Is,
1873, be, and the same is, so
amended as to read, after Article
VII. of section 10, as follows:
Provided futher, that in all cases
where the district directors of the
public schools issue warrants up
on the County Trustee for school
apparatus, maps, charts, globs,
school furniture and all other ex-
penditures Of the public school
funds except for teachers salaries,
the warrant so drawn by said d..
rectors shall be countersigned by
County Superintendent before the
same shall be paid by the County
Trustee.
From the above given section
it will seem that the county Sup
erintendents stand as q protection
to many boards of school directors.
1t is often the case that direct or s
acting in good faith, and as they
think for the best interest of their
districts are imposed upon. Such
has been the case in Hardin and
some of our sister counties, in the
matter of maps and charts. The
Superintendent under this new
law will surely post themselves and
let their buying be based on a
thorough knowledge of what they
ARE doing.

a. G. GUS THOMAS. YET in FLOWER LAND
Brief Sketch ofthe Noted Ninth
District Law BreaSer.

The prosecution of Guss Thorn
as in our Circuit Court has elecit-
ed more or less interest and COM
ment for the past year, and his
lawlessness in the ninth district OF
this county has been subject of
much concern for five or six years.
Gus Thomas was q years of
age last Monday, the day he was
arraigned in court charged with
the murder of John Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy was ambushed and
murdered at his woodpile, just
about daylight on the morning of
Dec. Is, 1895, and the grand jury
at the March term, 1896, thought
he was murdered by Gus and his
brother Dick Thomas and John
Bryson. But on account of the
absence of important witnesses
the State asked for and secured a
continuance of the case to the
next term of the Court. But Judge
Patterson's in commenting on the
failure of the State to have its
witnesses in attendance ordered
attachments to issue at once for
these witnesses with instructions
to have them put nnder good
and solvent bond or lodge them
in Jail until tho next term of the
court.
Gus is now under a sentence of
10 years for the murder of DR..
Martin at the Red Sulphur spring
on Dec. 81, 1894. Also one year
for resisting an officer ON Jan. 20
1896, when he was arrested.

ing bodies of water, and the entire
peninsula is considered peculiarly
advantageous from sanitary
point of view. The people seem
to be very courteous and social

This is a great fishing resort, and
the docks are filed with people;

Of fish are caught daily, and yet
the supply seems inexhaustable,

Special Staff Correspondent.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 26, '97.
Tampa is quite little city with
all the modern conveniences and
improvements. 1t claims popu.
la.ion OF 10000. The dwellings
are mostly farme, though many of
the business houses are imposing,
elegant structures. The court
house is a model in beauty and
convenience. The handsomest
school house is the Catholic Con-
vent, a three story brick, with
beautiful surroundings. The
streets are shaded with live oaks,
palmetto, palms and mulberry
trees; the long grey moss hanging
from many of them in profusion,
quaker-like in appearance. There
are representatives Of all nation
alities here, among them thous.
ands Of Cubans, who are pricipal-
ay located in the suburbs of the
city, where are numerous cigar
factories; cigar making being their
chief industry. Many of these
factories are now closed ON ac-
count of not being able to get to-
bacco from Cuba; hence, about
five thousand who were thrown
out of employment left here and
joined the army. A few days
since they celebrated the second
anniversary of the declaration of
war (which to me seemed q Singu-
lar idea). There was quite a dis.
play of bunting, evergreens, flags,
music and marching. Maceo's
picture is in CONSPICUOUS places
and garlanded with flowers and
evergreen. They had grand
ball and general Publications,
which lasted two nights. Their
flag is made of blne and white
stripes, with triangular shaped
field, with one blue star in the
center. These people we meet
on street cars and everywhere
men, women and children, jabber-
ing in their native tongue, like so
many parrots. Many beautiful
Ornge groves are here in the sub.
burbs, while nearly every one has
q few trees in their yards. Most
of the fruit has been gathered and
shipped, but occasionally rare
and pleasing sight greets us, that
of q tree with its wealth of green,
glistening foliage, bearing ripe and
green fruit, and blooms all at
the same time.
! We have visited the different
parks, celery gardens, and many
other places Of interest. Oul
stay here has been quite pleasant
but we go to st. Petersburg next
