BOARD OF EDUCATION lNVESTI-
GATE CONDITION OF INSURANCE
ARE FORCED TO BORROW $4,000
And Other Loans Will be Necessary Before
the Annual Appropriation is Avail
able-Amount From the Special
High School Fund Reduced

The finance committee of the Board
of Education. together with the super
intendent and principals of the city
schools, held very important meeting
at the high school on Friday afternoon
to discuss the matter of insurance on
the different school buildings in the
city. At the meeting the Board made
some very rigid rules in regard to the
insurance on the buildings and it was
decided that no policies would be taken
out in any companies who could not
show a surplus of at least $400, 900. All
the companies now carrying insurance
on the city school buildings were given
searching investigation and two Of
them were found not to meet the
$500, 900 surplus limit.
The committee decided that as far as
possible the insurance should be divid-
ed among the agents representing the
companies who are able to fill the re-
quirements. The committee also de-
cided to recommend large amount of
new insurance to be placed on the
school furniture which heretofore has
been uninsured. The amount of in
surance now carried on educational
property in round numbers is $53, 500,
divided as follows:
Central building. -.-..----$ $50, 700
Frank building -.... 5000
Durkee building. -.-. 1000
Second ward building. $500
Deming building uncompleted. 5000
AS was expected the Board have al
ready been forced to borrow $4,000 to
pay the running expenses of the fiscal
year, and it is very probable that the
Board will be forced to seek loans for
at least So, 800 more before the recent
apportionment made by the Council is
available.
The City Treasurer today received
from the State Treasurer $248. 80 as the
apportionment for Kenosha from the
State special high school fund. The
superintendent states that this years
app0rtionment from this fund is over
twenty dollars lower than it was last
year, Notwithstanding the fact that the
number of students have been greatly
increased.
At the meeting of the Board on next
Tuesday evening "a very interesting
time is expected, as the new rules for
the city schools and a new course Of
study will be presented for the consid-
GRAFTON of the Board.

John Trotwood Moore of Columbia,
Tenn, eloquently addressed members
of Columbia Post, G.. A. r., Wednesday
night. 1t was one of the strongest
speeches heard in Chicago on time
honored theme in many month. Mr..
Moore is the son of COnfederateDf officer
and came north ut the invitation of Co.
lumbia Post. He reminded Columbia
Post that it was among theryery first
organizations in the north to propose
"that the blue and the gray should
march together on Memorial day and
drop their intertwined wreath on the
grave of common dead" He further
said it was due TO the same post that the
COnfedeTates who died in northern
prisons are remembered with the eheroes
in blue on May 30.
Among many other splendid things
said by the sOutherner was something
in reference to the present war. He
commented on the news which ema-
lted from Madrid to the effect that
he COnfederacy would rise again in the
event of war with Spain. He said:
"For once, gentlemen, the govern
ment of spain has inadvertently told
the truth and It is with the greatest
pride and delight that [ tell you to-
night the Southern Confederacy has
arisen again not as a Southern COnfed-
eracy, however, but as one, integral,
! loyal part of our common country; to-
| night the camp fires of $4,000 of her sons
guard the coast from Tampa to Chicka-
/ mauga, while ten times fifty thousand
only wait the Presidents call TO follow
/ the stars aud stripes, and by the grace
of God carry out against the yellow flag
of spain the awful mandates of His
eternal decree spoken long ago in a
cloud of fire: They that do not rule
/ in righteousness shall perish from the
earth.'p
Running through the entire oration
was the same spirit of a united nation
/ forgetting the differences of the past
and loval now to the same cause and
| the same flag. Members of -Colum bia
| Post were charmed with ME Moore's
address and did everything in their
power to show him hospitality.

DEMOCRATIC party. .u, ..s
The most remarkable feature of
the whole convention was the per-
feet harmony and fair spirit dealing
displayed ON every hand. While
there never met n delegation COM
posed of men of tirmer purpose, or
more devoted to their respective
friends, there was never convention
assembled which engendered less
of bitterness. lit was convention
whichrefects credit upon the grand
old Democratic party, and one
which instead of breaking party
ties, has bound together more close
ly the Democratic party in this ju-
dicial district For every man felt
and knew that the nominee had
been nominated fairly and honor
able, and each one went away de-
te"mined to show his loyalty by a
hearty support of the party's choice.
Such men as composed this con-
vention will always do credit to the
people who send them. No amount
of money could have bought them,
for they were unapproachable men
who guarded the trust imposed as
they guarded their personal honor.
Maury County feels proud of her
young son, and prOuder still that he
should receive the enthusiastic sup
port of such a body of men, and she
awaits with confidence his ascension
to the Bench, and predicts for him
brilliant record.

The First regiment of Tennessee
volunteers, recruited from the mid
die section Of the State, was ordered
last Friday to join the army which
is being sent to the Philippine
Islands. This order was quite un-
expected, but caused great rejoicing
among the boys, who were very much
elated over the idea of going to help
the gallant Dewey. Nevertheless,
it also occasioned sadness, for home
and loved ones must be parted with,
and that for journey of nearly TO-
600 miles acr 'ss mountains and
ocean, to a hostile land on the, other
side of the world. -.v
