AGAINST CONTESTS.

It was announced the other day that
: the School Board in Sampson county,
headed by Prof. Street Brewer, would
test The provisions of the new school
law appointing a County Board of d.
rectorS
Such course as this is not approved
by State Superintendent Mebane, who
yesterday wrote to Prof. Brewer touch
ing his proposed contest as follows:
MY advice TO you is to recognize the
County Board of Directors and try to
carry into effect the law as enacted by
the recent Legislature. You are re-
sponsible for the result of this Legisla-
ture, whether it be good or bad. They
were representatives of the people and
as an officer all we have to do is try
TO put into operation the laws, and do
the best we can for the school, under
the laws. If the courts of the State
stop me then of course l shall stop.
Otherwise l shall try to carry out the
laws enacted by the last General AS
sembly. and ask the cooperation of all
the friends of public education to aid
in this great work"
EX-TREASURER BYARS SUICIDES.
A special from Shelby says:
"EX-County Treasurer J. B. Byare
committed suicide at his home this af-
ternoon three miles from here. He
placed the muZZle of n 32-calibre rifle
TO his forehead and fired, the ball en-
tering the forehead and coming out at
the back of his head.
MIR. Byars was the Fusion candidate
for treasurer last fall. and his defeat
affected him deeply. He was sick prior
to the election, and had a spell of i'll
ness Just after it. His mind has never
been perfectly clear since. He served
the county for four years as treasurer,
and made good officer. Mr.. Byars
was well-to-do farmer. and his tragic
death Will be generally regretted"

A STRANGE ERROR.
The new revenue act is found to
have strange error regarding dispen-
saries. 1t puts them on the same foot
Ing as drug-stores which sell LIQUOR
iHiS means tnat the diSpenSarieS must
pay each $50 tax each six months then
a graduated license tax (of $500 year
in places with over 5000 populat tom
and lastly, a graduated tax on pur-
chases, thus making three different
taxes. 1t is not known that an effort
Will be made TO collect all these taxes
but If it is made the dispensaries will
no doubt take the case into the courts.

REVIEW OF DREYPUS CASE
What HarDerS Weekly'S London Cor
respondent Has to Say.
Belief 10 Guilt Or Innocence Of Dreyfus Has
Passed Into Domain Of Religlon-Soms
Historical References.

Arnold White, Harpers Week
ly's London correspondent, writ
ing under date of July l gives the
following interesting review Of
France and the Dreyfus case:
1 have spent the past week in
Paris studying the Dreyfus ques
ton. There is much more than
meets the eye; much more than
is published in the newspapers,
whose violent calumnies recall
Eebert's Pere Duchesne of 1892.
The French Prime Minister is
publicly denounced as a robber,
the War Minister branded as a
murderer, the Minister of Com
merce held up as traitor. prey-
fus himself is bat a cheval de
batsille-one symptom of the rev
dictionary fever which periodi-
cally inAsmes the blood of French
men.
Over three hundred disappoint-
ed reporters of the French and
English press waited at Brest for
the returned prisoner. When
Marc hand landed at Toulou far
less public interest was displayed
in him than 10 the prisoner OF
DEVILS Island, whom M, Lebon
bound in chains. Dreyfus has
already upset two ministers.
The present French ministry il
a committee of public safety.
In the interests of elementary
civilization, that beau sabreur the
Marquis de Galiffst sits at the
council table, as Minister of War
with Millerand, the socialist
whose com munistic friends be
shot down Wholesale in the inter.
ests Of order twenty mine years
ago.
Belief in the guilt or inn ocencf
of Dreyfus has passed into thu
domain of religion. Among the
Catholics, to question his treach
cry is regarded as tsutamont t.
infidelity or disobediencs to tn,
Church. On the other side, tn,
jews, the intellectuals, and tn,
Professionals acclaim Dreyfus as
hero; almost as a Messiah. It i

Neither scquittsl at Rennes nor ,

Of conservative influences in
France especially in rural
France anything may happen
Civil government is in a parlous
condition. Disillusion is univer-
cal; distru-t prevails as to the sin
cerity aad good faith for every
prominent man.
No one seems to believe in
anybody or anything : unless
gu persiition is belief, and black
superstitions are not confined to
clerical circles. A high y placed
functionary and large land own
er informed me, with evident sin
cerity, that General de Galliffet
had only taken office because the
state OF his finances placed him at
the disposal Of the "ayndicate"-
that imaginary syndicate.
The Injustice and cruelty of
public opinion recall the days Of
the Terror. A Christian lady at
Rennes, well-to-do and a Protest
ant, who inscribes in her hall the
words of the Master, "Little
children, love one another" in
obedience to this command wrote
to Madame Dreyfus as perfect
stranger, Offering her the use Of
her house, since neither hotel nor
lodging dares to shelter the wife
of the returned prisoner. When
Madame Dreyfus accepted the
hospitality of Madame GODDARD
the torrent of scurrilities and
fssehood of the anti. Drey fusard
press surpassed itself.
1t is like Whit from
the internal regions to see
large masses Of educated French
men treat the brave act of q good
woman as national treachery and
sordid villauy. For the nation
that claims to be in the van OF thu
worlds progress : according to
Victor Hugo, "Ths Christ of Ma
tons" - is there any other cure
than another whit OF grape
shot ?"
In August, 1915, two month";
after the battle of Waterloo, tn,
Duke of Wellington, writing t
Lord Castlereaeh, expressed thu
opinion "that the French Revolu
ton aud the Treaty of Paris hac
left France in too great strength
for the rest of Europe, and il the
policy OF the united powers o
Europe was to weaken France
that they should do so in reality
but that if peace and tranquilit!
J for a few years was their object
they should refrain from taking
those measures" which, in tn
, Dukes opiaion, "would alone en-
. sure permanent security TO
) peace" The Duke of Wellington
: presciencs is shown in the state o
\ France today. Her leaders are no
, men to be safely intrusted will
power, while nothing but her i'm
potence against the military prep
arstions of Germany aud the nav
/ al strength of England prevent
, an explosion.

the locking up for desertion is a

He Leadeth Them Out.

A day of summer beauty,
The earth with sunshine bright,
Sv Get flowers, glad insects humming,
Joy in the golden light.
Yet on my heart shadow.
gathering cloud of fear
When came this precious promise
From Unseen Presence near:
"He leadeth them out"
Going before, He leadeth
Unto fair pasture green:
BY sweet, still waters flowing.
Meath soft, blue skies serene.
Out of earth's strife and tempest
Into hallowed calm.
When His own peace is lowering
And all the air is balm,
"He leadeth them out"
Oh. living hand, still leading
Through all the unknown way.
Where darkness falls around me.
Dimming hopes cheering ray:
How dear, amid the darkness,
The prison hours of fear.
To know that Thou art with me
The Shepherds voice to hear,
He leadeth them out"
Out of all sorrow leadeth.
BY tender. nail-pierced hand.
Giving me strength for weakness
In this oft-weary land.
Out of myself and evil.
Into a larger place,
To dwell with Him forever.
In glory see His face.
He leadeth me out"
