Promotion Deserved by a Number Of
S Teachers.

Superlntendent-eie Hotchliss and
the members of the Teachers Com
mittee Of the Board of Education are
besleged daily by an army OF appli-
cants for the prlncipalshlp Of the High
school.
The race for the position has attract
ed more candidates than did the con.
test over the superintcndency. The lat
ter position being Que of the best cdu-
cational jobs In the state, it was
sought after only by the foremost edu-
Gators. The Importance and responsi.
bility Of the position seemed to over
awe the vast number of ''lesser lights
and they shrank from making a con-
test.
With the principalship it Is different.
The job is the second best in Akron.
and every crossroads teacher has
lined UP for the place. Following a
line Of logic, perfectly clear to them
selves, each one has deduced the fact,
that he is the best qualified teacher for
the place.
If every candidate for the position
were ,,catalogued there would be no
less than an even hundred all
willing to be struck by prin-
cipalship lightning. At the Of

Among the number are some
good men with unquestioned pedigrees
as teachers and having years Of ex.
perience. Others point to q number OF
village high schools, over which they
have presided with unusual success.
This motley array of talent has caus
ed the committee much time and worry

asked the reporter.
"Not by any MEANS" replied the
mitteeman. "Some of the Local
candidates stand an excellent show
| We hope to settle the matter and elect
somebody next Tuesday night"
There seems to be II growing sentl
ment throughout the city In favor of n
local man for the vacant principalship
That promotion is due some of the
home teachers is the prevailing opin
ion. IL Is claimed that they are su
perior to a large majority of the can
didates In experience and scholarship
and their acquaintance with the en-
tire local situation would render them
valuable to the new administration.
II seems to be the general belief the
the Board will increase the salary OF
the principal. The salary heretofore
has boen $1,000 per year. The saving
made In the superintendent salary
may be added TO the high schoo. prIn

Voters In Annexed Territory
Will Vote In Akron
And Their Votes Will Be Counted
With the City Vote.

The Board of City Commissioners
will within a few days begin the work
of rearranglng Akron into voting pre-
cints. 1t Is estimated unofficially that
nine new precincts will be created, and
all precincts must be arranged in good
season for the registration of voters, in
tho early part of October.
A member of the Board remarked to
n Democrat reporter today that the
work of re-arranging the precinct sys-
TEN of this city would require but lit
tie time, as nearly all of the new ward
lines are straight. This speaks we'll
for for the work of the Redistricting
committee of the City Council.
1t will be necessary to provide a
number of new booths. for the addi-
tional precincts, appoint regis
trars and election officers, procure
books and everything necessary to a
preccint.
City solicitor Esgate said to a Demo-
crnt reporter today that all voters
within the territories annexed to this
city will vote In Akron this fall. and
that their votes would bc counted
with the city vote. The citizens Of the
new territory are now entitled to the
rights and privileges Of this city, and
are under Its Jurisdiction.
Providing that there We're opposition
TO the manner In which this city has
been redistricted," continued Mr.. Es-
gate, "It Is now too late to make any
changes. Akron has eight wards, and
the only thing necessary to complete
the new arrangement is the creating OF
new precinct system"

COMPETITION IN MILLING.
The Savannah Rice Mil Company
Enters the Field.

There Will be competition in the rice
milling business in Savannah this fall.
The Savannah Rice Mil Company. which
was incorporated with an authorized cap
ital stock of $4,000 some time ago, is
converting the old Haywood-Gage Ice
Company buildings. Nos. 20s 10 20 Bay
street, west. ITO rice mill.
The officers of the company are T. NJ.
Cunningham, president; Jonas Mendel,
vice president; John screven, Jr., man
ager: directors, T. VI. Cunningham, Jo-
mas Mendel. Herman Myers. F. S. Lath-
rop John r. Young. NJ. W. Dixon, Iss-
dore Silverberg, and A. R. F'awcett.
The buildings are very well suited for
the business having a front of about 100
feet on Bay and River streets, with four
to five stories above River street. The
buildings are among the oldest IN the city
with very heavy walls, and are divided
into three separate buildings which have
all been thrown into one. The first floor
below Bay street is being divided into
two floors for storage purposes, and this,
with the other compartment of the build
ings, will afford ample storage room. The
company also controls 104 feet Of wharf
and an elevator will be erected there for
rect 10 the compartments. The central
location of the buildings is also an advan-
tage.
Ten years ago Savannah had three rice
mills. With the destruction Of the Lower
Rice MIL and the Savannah Steam Rice
Mil by fire, only one mill was left. the
Planters Rice Mill In ordinary years
this mill has been sufficient to handle the
business, but with good crop years and
some increase in the acreage the mill has
had all 1t could handle and some rice
has been sent out OF this territory 10
Charleston.
Mr.. John Screven is the promoter and
organizer of the new company. He has
been working it up for the last two years
and in doing so has visited rice mills and
manufacturers of milling machinery from
New York to Texas.
The machinery Of the new mill is the
very best that can be obtained" said Mr.
Screven yesterday, being ordered from
different manufacturers throughout the
country. AS each part is constructed for
its especial purpose, it can be very easily
put together with very little work here.
The machinery is arriving and is being
put in place and the mill Will be in read
mess for operation by Sept. Is. Besides
all the latest machinery, the mill will
have the advantage of the old secret pro
cesses which were used TO such advantage
al the old Lower Rice Mill.
There is ample business for two mills
said Mr.. Screven. The rice crop In this
territory is about $4,000 bushels, of which
about 10000 are shipped elsewhere to be
milled. The new mill will keep this rice
at home, and will in this way be a bene-
fit to the Savannah rice market and the
Savannah planters"

REVERSED THE RECORDER.
without Jurisdictfon to Fine for
Selling LIQUOR on Sunday.

without Jurisdiction to Fine for
Selling Liquor on Sunday.
Judge Falligant rendered his decision in
the certiorari case of j. N. Anderson
against the Mayor and Aldermen of the
city of Savannah in the Superior Court
yesterday morning. The case Is one in
which tho plaintiff in certiorari was fined
500 in the Police Court for selling liquor
on Sunday. from which sentence he APP
pealed to the Superior Court.
Under the ruling of the Superior Court
in Kassen's case Judge Falligant held
that the fine inflicted upon Anderson by
the Recorder was not authorized by the
Jurisdiction of the court. The certiorari
is therefore sustained and the judgment
of the Recorder reversed.
Despite the decision Anderson will not
get back. just yet, at any rate, the fine
of 800 which was assessed against him
in the Police Court. City Attorney S. B.
Adams does not agree with Judge Falli-
giant that the decision in Kassels case
controls that in Andersons case, and he
will advise the city not to repay the
amount of the fine. Anderson will have
TO enforce repayment il he desires it by
action at law.
