Havana, December 81, p. m.-Efigies

crowds, while small professions march

MAJOR HARRISON SURPRISED FEM
Havana, December 2l.--It now appears
| that the raising Of the Stars and Stripes
over Fort Atares yesterday by Major Rus-
sell B. Harrison, was surprise to both
the United States and the Spanish mill
tary commissioners. The American COM
missioners had agreed that no American
flags should be raised until January 1.
EaMajor Harrison did not know this, and
when told to occupy the fort with a de-
tachment of the First North Carolina
regiment, he promptly raised the flag.
Nevertheless it has not been ordered
down.
Major General William Ludlow, mill
tary governor of the city of Havana, ar
rived from the United States today and
had long conference with Gen. Greene.
The United States and Spanish mill

While it may not have possessed the
value as contribution to pedagogics OF
some of the other addresses of the day, it
is probable that the speech made by
Uncle Solon Chase. the sage of Chase's
Mills will linger in the minds OF the
teachers after many of the other things in
the programme have been forgotten.
Uncle Solon made his speech at the after
noon session, his subject being the schools
of 1875. Hon. James W. Bradbury, who
was to have spoken on the schools OF 1920,
was unable to be present owing to illness.
The schools of today were discussed by

JOHN AND THE FARMER.

The present State administration has
sought strenuously to have itself consld-
cred the particular guardian of the
farmer. 1t has given it to be understood
that every man in office quit the joys of
private life with a heavy reluctance and
only because his soul was shot through
with a keen desire to forward bucolic
interests.
Among the martyrs to the good of the
farmer was John r. Smith. He was
made superintendent of the penitentiary
or chief supervisor Of conyicts, as you
will. But Mr.. Smith had brought with
him certain maXims as to dividends that
had impressed him in private life. AT
ter due trial it was found that he was
not fit~tO supervise convicts. lie was
too unreasonable. 1t was becoming
too difficult to distinguish between
guardian and ward.
A new berth must be found for John
r. Smith. ''Smith is a ,
