SCHOOL REPORTS.
State Superintendent Remind County
 Examiners of What is Needed.


 The following important circular letter is being sent by. the depart ment of education to all the county examiners of the state:
 As the time approaches for5the di- rectors to make their reports, this office would respectfully sugges t that each examiner, through his county papers and by such other means as he may see fit, urge upon them the necessity of making their reports promptly, and the impor- lance of filling all blanks found in the report. If any directors fail to aminer has any data upon which to estimate the various items not re- ported, he should not fail to insert his estimates Tn the report to this office, as this is the only means by which his county ean make the prop CT showing in the biennial report
 Let me call your attention especial ly to the item Number days taught during year" The following rules should govern i'll reporting this item:
 1. One room with one teacher is the unit.
 2. One room, one teacher, one continuous session of say 200 days. is reported, "one school, 200 days"
 3. One room, whether with the same teacher or not, with two ses- sions of, say 60 and 100 days each. is reported, "one school, 160 days
 I. More than one teacher in the same school is reported the same as different schools. For instance. one school, five teachers, l60 days, is re- ported, five schools, 800 days" It Is only in this way that the correct average can be obtained.
 Hoping that these suggestions may prove of value, and result in Q better showing for our public schools

PROBABLY STILL IN PEKIS.

LONDON. Aug. 21.-Diyers para gra phs as to the movements of the Chinese imperial family continue to be received at treaty ports, and thence faithfully transmitted to Eu- ropean capitals. Those ting the court as having left Pekin are of exclusive Chinese origin. According to them their maiesties are well on their way to Sian Flu. about 300 miles inland. Fighting was going on at Pekin Saturday, according to one report, but according to dis- patch received by the admiralty from Rear Admiral Bruce the allies entered the sacred city of Pekin Fri day. Ii the Ghinese government is at Sian Flu there is Bo means of get tlng ar them, according to military man, without d prolonged camgaign and with an army as large as Lord Roberts to secure d base of commu- nications.
 Advices from provincial capitals show that the attitude of tLe south ern mandarins has been friendly since the allies reached PekiD. Some of the magistrates hay been issuing procla nations commanding the Chi. nese to attend to business, to avoid sedition, and acknowledging that the invasion of the foreigners is jus tified.

THROW TIE HOOKS
Into the Old Phone Company, Says
 a Citizen.

From what Graphic reporter can learn, the Southwess Tele. phone Go. will lose large number of subscribers on September 1st, owing to the recent announcement made by that company to increase the business phone rate one dollar. Only employees of t6at office are aware of the very large namoer of phones that have been ordered out since that announcement was made.
 s'Itis unjust" remarked a prom nent business man today "The new phone is a home enterprise and should be given the exclusive pat ronage of the city. It gives the best service and is not apt to increase it's rate, for 1t has an agreement in it's charter that 90 such move would be taken in that direction. The old phone company is Q concern that could give the people here the use of their instruments free for term of years, and never feel the effects of the lost revenue. h ny opinion, it is trying to impose on our peo- pie, and I am in favor of throwing the hooks into them while they are on their high horse. The company is one of the wealthiest concerns in tbe United States, and one dollar less or one dollar more will make DO difference with them. However, the public should be given the bene fit of the doubt. The local manager is going to be surprised when he sees the great numoe of phones ordered out by the first of next month, for there is movement OF foot and well under way that will hurt.

He came here to attend the funeral of his father, who had been laid to rest two hours before his arrival.

 Mrs. Oscar L. Brewster, the only daughter of the deceased, could not reach here in time for the funeral. She is spending the summer in the country about thirty-fve miles from Enreka Springs, and it would have taken almost two days to notify her and make the trip to Eureka for q train.

WHEAT IN ARKANSAS.
Conductor Baldwin, of the Iron Moun-
 tain believes in It's Future.

Conductor Warren Baldwin, who has been a proficient ticket puncher for the Iron Mountain road for many years, is one of the most enthusias- tlc admirers of pretty farm in sthe country. At Duncan, station F miles above Pine Bluff, Mr. Bald win has one of the finest farms to be found anywhere. Everything on it is modern and up to date and one of the principal products is wheat. Wednesday,, in aoont one hour and 20 minutes, MT. Baldwin thrashed 50 bushels of wheat with only the aid of small machine. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects of Arkansas being great wheat state and believes that it can be made the greatest wheat producing country in the world. On this farm he has vegetables, corn, cotton and every thing which the soil will produce successfully. He has some of the finest stock ever brought to this sfstiou of Arkansas and is very proud of them. Besides being a successful plan ter. working during his leisure moments. Mr. Baldwin is looking to the future of the Iron Mountain road as well. He is al ways ready to boost the Iron Noun tain and never fails to put in good word for it's excellent service. He is valuable conductor and is well thought of by the travelling frater- nity. His popularity is doubtless due to his clever way of treating people, always pleasant and accom- : modating.
