We must not reduce the number of
school months. And to drop one of
the teachers means to turn out of
school twenty-three pupils who have
reached the ninth and tenth grades,
unless these pupils simply return to
grind away on the "readin', ritin' and
'rithmetic" of the past year. Two
teachers cannot conduct a school of
ten grades. The branches now
taught, which would have to be
eliminated n algebra, physiology,
English analysis, physical geography,
bookkeeping, civil government,
geometry, physics, literature and
pedagogy.
This would remove from school
the upper grades, which are the
back bone of the institution. II
would take out the children of Rich.

MONETARY CONFERENCE.

1t seems to be decided that Presi-
dent Mckinley will remove Comp
%troller Eckles before his term of
office expires, only that he may ap-
point him as special commissioner to
the foreign powers, which Office was
created by the monetary conference
act which became a law during the
closing hours of Cleveland's admin
istration. As the law authorizes the
appointment of zone or more com
missioners," it is not believed that
the president will appoint more than
one, and Eckles will be the ne.
There may be wisdom in this ap-
pointment; for Mr.. Eckles certainly
enjoys higher respect and confidence
among gold using countries than any
out spoken bimetallist in America on
which account he may be able to
command influence not otherwise
able to be reached. On the other
hand it seems but natural that a
president, pledged both by platform
u%tterances and by verbal promise to
exercise his utmost endeavor to &C
complish international free coinage,
would appoint bimetallists upon a
commission whose duties are so ardu-
Gus and whose efforts are confronted
by such weight of opposition. II
seems to us that Mr.. Mckinley has
not done his utmost to promote the
cause of free coinage until he has
appointed a free coinage mar on the
commission. If he sincerely wishes
to effect b%imetallism, and he assures
us that he does, why does he not ap.
point a bimetallist to engineer the
work? If he meant tie promote the
interest of tariff reform, would he
%intrust the leadership of the move.

look upon MI. Eckles as prince o.

that others, just as guilty, could not

VALDOSTA LOCALS.


Valdosta, Ga, April 2O.-The Jail author
tiles are very much worried at present by
a crazy negro boy, who was found roam
ing about the woods near here three weeks
ago. The boy appeared to be an epileptic
ana it was thought that some attention
might bring him to his senses. He was
tried for lunacy and the jury agreed that
he should be sent to the lunatic asylum.
The asylum authorities were written
about the case, but they could not take
him without knowing something of his
past history and without being sure that
he was one of this states unfortunates
The local authorities could not say wheth-
er he was Georgia lunatic or not, nor
could they give any information about
him. In this manner the negro was
thrown back upon the hands of the Off
Gals here. The negro refuses to talk,
and eats very little. The jailer and those
about the prison are afraid that the negro
is afflicted with some disease and they
are getting very much alarmed about him.
The ladies of the Memorial Association
are arranging for a big celebration next
Monday. The memorial address is 10

brownsville, and a large crowd is ex-
pected to take part in the ceremony. Val

have ever been seen in this city before,
and that fact will add largely to the
character of the celebration.

Gals here some trouble Wilkerson claims
to be a faith cure doctor, and he alleges
that he has cured many people of dread
full diseases. He came here from Florida
and carried with him business cards,
showing his business to be that of heal
ing the sick. At Naylor, near here. he
stayed some time and boarded at a negro
house. He called on some ladies in that
section in professional way and was so
offensive to them that he was arrested
and brought here His cards were used
in evidence against him, being written in
a way that might have meant several
things. The court held that the construc-
ton was not clear enough to convict him
of malpractice, and as the ladies did not
wish to come in court, the doctor was re-
leased.
Sheriff Harrell has received information
from Green Cove Springs Fla, that Jim
Williams, a negro murderer of this coun-
ty, had been arrested there. Williams is
wanted for killing a negro at Lake Park
several weeks ago. Sheriff HarreH went
to Lake Park yesterday and deputized an
officer of that place to so after Williams
The Lake Park officer knew the negro and
could easily identify him.

The certificate holders of the First Ma

second dividend of per cent had been de-
clared. This makes a total Of Is per cent
since the failure three years ago, and
while the dividend seems small, it will be

something like $13, 0O0 as the bank had on
deposit at the time Of its failure some $780,

The Ocala Bicycle Club, numbering
about seventy-five members, will give an

fractions will be a bicycle race for a hand

distance for the former will be eight miles,
while the latter will be limited to two
The object of the entertainment is to raise
funds with which to complete the race
track, or bicycle path, to Silver Springs
a distance of five miles, and which is al
ready completed about two-thrds of the
distance.
This was trial day in Judge Hills court,
county judge, and the case on the docket
was one of considerable interest. Several
years ago Mr.. Sgd Perry purchased, at
tax sales, a house and lot in the eastern
part of Ocala, belonging to Messrs. Wiley
& Stafford, who, at the time, were absent
from the city, and the time allowed them
by law to redeem this property expired.
Mr.. Perry took possession of same, but
Messrs. Wiley and Stafford returned, and
at the point of shotgun compelled Mr..
Perry to vacate, which he did and sought
justice in the county court. The case was
well fought, but after hearing the facts
from both sides, the jury was out only
few moments ere they returned verdict
in favor of Mr.. Perry.
