poets for success were never
better and the country was
never more anXious-earuestly
anxious for a revision of the
ruinous tariff schedules that are
daily reaching down into and
robbing the masses of the PEG.
pie of this country.
The Atlanta Constitution, one
of the strongest newspapers in
the south at one time rather
lukewarm on the tariff queS
ton, in recent editorial com.
mented as follows:
when the tariff schedule has
been diverted from encourage.

ais, it is time to have 4 revision

party to tree itself from the

suggest that the party is more

School closing is drawing near, and
pupils are making ready for a trying or

The pupils of the 1st and End grades
are preparing for cantata; also the pu-
pills of the other grades.
Four members of the Board of Educa-
tion visited our school recently and ex.
pressed themselves as being much
pleased with the work, generally.
Asa general thing, our pupils drop
out of school quite early; we rather
compliment the 7th grade of the present
term, as there is enrolled twenty two
pupils. We trust they may continue
until they have completed che whole
course; by so doing they will have laid a
foundation for good industrial educa-
ton

A WISE DECISION.
Or. J. D. Barbee Will Not Stand for
Reelection.
Continued Agitation Disturbs the
Peace of the Church Which
Love Better Than
My Own Life"

The Christian Advocate of this week
contains a card from DR.. J. d. Barbee,
the senior Book Agent of the Methodist
states to the church at large that he will
not be a candidate for re election before
the next General Conference, which
meets in May, 1902, at Dallas, Texas.
DR.. Barbee was first elected to this
office in the summer of 1887, to fill out
the unexpired term of DR.. j. B. Nc
Ferrin, who had just died. At that
time he was the pastor of McKendree
church, and was closing a successful
quadrennium in that pastorate. He
was reelected at the General Confer
ence which met in st Louis in 1890.
This was repeated in 1894 at Memphis,
and again 10 1898 at Baltimore. Since
his induction into Office the Publishing
House has, urder his wise, long and
faithful management of its affairs in

Its net earnings has paid to the superan-
nuated preachers and widows and
