SCHOOL BOARD.
SUPERINTENDENT SMITHS SEVERE
DISCRIMINATION.
He Gould Not Furnish Information De-
sired by the Mayor Six Months
Salary Due the Teachers.

A meeting of the city school board
was held yesterday afternoon in the
office of the superintendent of schools,
with representatives of the Express
and Light present.
Mayor Callaghan began without
much ceremony, to make inquiries of
the superintendent as to the condition
of the schools and the finances sup
porting them. He asked how much
money had been received from the
state school fund and If it had been
received. Also the collections from
the city taxes and the expenditures.
The superintendent stated that the
state owed the city 81, 412 for the
scholastic year. and none of this had
been paid the treasurer to his knowl-
edge This was 81 per capita on the
census of 11,S53.
He could not tell how much had
been collected from city taxes. The
rate of taxation by the city was 20
cents per 500 and from the state Is
cents per 500.
The mayor stated that he would
see that the city received the state ap-
portionment.
Regarding the amount due on city
taxes to the school fund it was fig
ured that the city should receive from
SEQ, 900 to S65, 900 on the assessed val
uatiOn but it was thought $4,000
would be a reasonable estimate of
the actual collections.
Neither the superintendent or audi
tor could tell how much money had
been collected for the schools. No re-
cords or minutes had been kept and
the mayor declared that he had hoped
to obtain full information of the
schools department, but was diSap-
pointed. He would obtain the inform
alton sooner or later, he declared.
The board then retired upon a de-
sultOry conversation regarding the
schools and school finances, etc, when
it developed that there were now 116
teachers in the schools and none had
been paid their salaries since last
August, 612 months. Neither had the
ianitOrs. The total pay roll of the
schools footed up the sum of $7.711.49
per month. The teachers have been
borrowing money on their vouchers
at the rate of 10 per cent interest.
The total expenditures or receipts of
the school department had not been
kept in the minutes and estimates
only had been made by which the bud
get was allowed. The budget show
ed the amount of $5S,999.34 of the ifs
cal year past, of which about $4,000
had been already collected.
There were $92,412 due the schools
from the state and city.
The mayor stated that he would go
to Austin and see why the states pOr-
ton was not paid over.
He also asked the board to visit
the schools frequently and become
fully acquainted with the workings Of
this department To this each men,
Der gladly assented.

A POLE CAT SCARE.

Between 3 and o'clock this morn
ing a pole cat made its appearance on
Alamo plaza. Officer Evans was sum-
moned, but he rufused to shoot the
cat, as he did not care to arouse the
neighbOrhood at that hour. Someone
wanted to hit the cat with a club,
but the officer told them to let the cat
go unmolested unless they wanted
something to regret for. They left
the cat alone and she finally diSap-
peared, leaving no trace of her pres
ence.

CAUGHT AN OLD OFFENDER.
A Thief Who Is Thought to Have
Been Very Active Is Captured.

Abbeville, Ga, Sept 3O.-Mr. c. F. Ham
ilton, assistant marshal Of Rochelle, ar
rested, on Tuesday night, Bob Hall, ne
gro thief, who is an old and willy criminal,
and lodged him in Jail here yesterday.
The arrest was made in consequence of
the suspicious conduct of the prisoner.
On being searched a BARRIERS clippers
and a bunch of keys, tweuty-nine in num-
Der, were found on his person. The keys
were of various kinds and sizes,
including ordinary room and store keys.
The officer. after the arrest, located his
lodging place at a negro house on the
outskirts of Rochelle, where he found an
assortment of stolen goods, including a
pistol a Remington rifle recently stolen
from James Smith the town butcher, eight
pairs of trousers, six coats and other
garments.
Hall is an ex-convict, having recently
been released from a four years term at
Gress convict camp. Numerous thefts,
that have recently occurred in Wilcox
county, are supposed to have been COM
mitted by him.
w. A. Nasworthy, who left an infant in
a basket near a turpentne still in this
county several weeks ago, an account of
which appeared in the Morning News at
the time of the occurrence, has been in
dicted by the grand jury for the offense,
and has been released on bond

it has reached the bottom figures, and
that the price will soon advance.

INTERVIEW WITH LOFTIN.
The HOgansviIIe POstofRce Official
Talks of the Shooting.

VI tAC
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3O.-J. H. Loftin, the
Hogansville negro postmaster who was
mysteriously shot last week, was in At
lanta to-day. He said he was here on
personal business and did not come to
see the authorities in reference to the
recent attempt on his life.
In speaking of the recent shooting, he
said that it was his postoffice enemies,
and not the negroes, whom he is said to
have prosecuted for the killing of his
nephew, who waylaid him. "In the first
place." said Loftin, 'I had very little to
do with that prosecution, and was so
much in the back ground all the time
that no one could have any hard feel
ings against me for any action that was
taken. The murdered man was not my
brother, as was reported, but my nephew,
and 1 never went before any officer or
jury to have a thing done in the matter.
1T was your postoffices enemies, then,
who shot your" was asked.
II have no other enemies in Hogans-
vile, or anywhere in Georgia." he re-
piled; land there is no one who could
have any reason for shooting at me but
those enemies"
What viii you do in the matter?'' he
was asked
Il won't do anything" he replied; that
all remains with the higher authorities,
and l will abide by whatever action they
take in the matter. I suppose they will
use every effort to detect and punish the
criminals, and l do not feel called upon
to do anything at ALL"
HAS the feeling changed any since you
were shot?"
Il have not noticed any change; things
are just about the same. The people have
some sort of a way of mailing their let
ters on the train, and l handle very few
of them"
Loftin says that his arm is getting bet
ter every day, and that he goes on with
his work just the same as ever, and is
not afraid of any more attacks He will
continue in the postofiice, even if the boy
colt is so strong against him that he has
nothing to do, and says that he does not
care what the Hogansville people do.

his proposition in this regard by special
series of experiment. He found that the
yellow fever germs could not be induced
TO multiply on gelatine like other mi-
crobes. But, when a few spores OF any
mold were put With them on the gela-
tine, the icteroid bacilll would begin to
develop almost Immediately. As soon as
"a little patch Of growing mold was
formed, colonies of the bacilli would APP
pear all around It, and in proportion to
the increase of the fungus, the groups of
yellow fever germs became more numer-
GUS Finally. regular constellation of
germ colonies surrounded the patch OF
mold. If. on the other hand, the mold was
entirely removed, the colonies of yellow
fever bacilli soon disappeared. In this
simple manner was proved the relation
existing between the germ of the disease
and the mold on whose presence IL de-
ponds for its own survival.
1t Is a very, curious fact that DIR. George
Sternberg, now surgeon general Of the
United States army, discovered the true
germ of yellow fever nearly a decade ago.
1T has been bred at the Army Medical Mu-
scum in Washington, at the John Hop
kins University in Baltimore and in lab
oratories elsewhere during eight years
past being considered interesting by rea-
son of the serious symptoms which 1t in
duced in guinea pigs, rats and other an
imais inoculated with 1t. But nobody Sc
riously suspected that 1t was the specific
microbe of yelolw fever. DIR. Sternberg,
In his original report on the subject, said
that 1t was the only microbe among
number obtained by him from yellow fe-
yer patients that deserved to be consider
ed suspicious. He named 1t Bacillus X.
Recently he has made experiments with
II upon various animals, producing all the
symptoms of yellow fever, and incident
ally confirming the truth of SanareLfs
discovery.
Sanarellfs experiments with animals
have been very elaborate. He found that
the best way TO get the germs in guam
tity was to place a fragment of liver taxi
en- from a newly-deceased patient in an
Incubator at a moderately high tempera-
ture for twelve hours, the condition thus
obtained favorlng the multiplication of the
microbes. Cultures Of them killed white
mice in five days and guinea pigs in eight
day. Rabbits died In four or five days.
Horses proved very sensitive to
the poison, the rule seeming to
be that the sensitiveness increased as
the animals assembled in the scale which
eliminates in man. Monkeys, for exam
pie, were exceedingly sensitive. Among
mammals only cats were able to resist
the poison. Birds were not affected by

those of human beings These symptoms
are very complicated, the most notable be-
ing fatty degeneration of the liver and
kidneys and hemorrhage through the lin
ing of the stomach and intestines. due to
the breaking down of the walls of the
blood vessels. The effect is a good deal
like that of poisoning with cyanide of POI
tassium.
The germ of yellow fever is a little rod
with rounded ends. Sanareln believes
that it is taken into the human system
either by air that is breathed or water
that Is drunk. If the ling membranes of
the body are in healthy condition, it
can not get through them and produce in
lection. But any disturbance of diges-
ton, as by abuse of alcohiIic and iced
drinks--above all in persons newly arrived
In countries where the disease exists
gives opportunity for the entrance
of the microbe. The newly arrived
In tropical countries are subject
to slight catarTh of the liver, which NAV
facilitate the entrance of the germ. One odd
circumstance about yellow fever is that
the patient is very apt to die not Of the
disease itself. but from blood poisoning
caused by septic microbes which make
their way into the blood and tissues

Work on the Government Dock in
New York Is Greatly Delayed.
Washington, Sept. S0.-The navy depart
ment officials are embarrassed by the
rough handling of the schooner Paul,
which was carrying large cargo Of lum-
Der for the reconstruction of the New York
dry dock No. 8.
The schooner was caught in the recent
West India cyclone off the New Jersey
coast and blown clear down to Florida
where she lay dismasted and helpless AS
the work on the dock is regarded as an
emergency undertaking, and there is no
telling how long it might take to get the
load delivered at New York in the usual
course, the department will probably send
out the big tug Nina from Norfolk TO take
the schooner in tow and bring her TO New
York
This lumber is wanted for the Golfer
dam, which is being built at the entrance
of the dock, and is special dimension
stuff which cannot be procured in the mar
ket readily.
