The Camp Hill Times declares that sstwenty thousand dollars worth of 1macEdamized roads would be worth far more to our county than a million dollar court house." and The Times is right. There is no denying that each county should have a thoroughly good rourt house, but the value of good roads can hardly be over-estimated. Talla- poosa as well as all other counties in Alabama would find that a reasonable amount of money annually spent in bettering the public highways would be a safe and profitable investment.

" Mrs. Woodbury claims that Sister Eddy referred in terms of disinheriitng sazcasfa to her as "Babylonish Wo- Sran.1 or a Baboonish womani or a Eeaneatish woman, or like terms of re- s.sroach. Mrs. Woodbury thinks that a
 heck for $150.00O is about the proper
 eparation for such wicked recklessness with the Kings English as above s,nted. Al Boston woman may be satis- Sied with S150,000 for an affront of this Sxind. but it would take a Beaumont rlsher to salve over the wounds of an Alabama woman in case of such rare &ad concentrated venom.

widely and shortening the term are the sure remedies? Above all, are we sure that the teacher whose services can be obtained for $10 a month Is more likely to train children to the capacity for good citizenship than the man or woman whose market value is twice or three times that amount? For here We come to the vital and terribly seri- ous feature of the whole situation. The public money which goes to pay a man or woman for teaching a poor school Is wasted-and worse! Such a school as is sometimes seen among the colored people-a school where conceit, superficiality, and pretence are the chief results of the training, Is not merely foolishness, it is a wrong. to the community. Such schools are taught by men or women whose ser vices elsewhere demand no high price, and the pay which the teacher of any such school has received under our present system has been more than he has earned. Is it such schools that We wish to perpetuate among our colored people, 1t is the only kind which it Is likely we can support out of their just" proportion of the school funds. Or is it that other school of which We have also seen examples- the school where the atmosphere is the atmosphere of order and industry where manners and morals, decency of language and behavior, self-control, cleanliness, honesty, are of at least as much importance as the acquisition of high-sounding vocabulary? There are such schools, taught by men and wo- men of the negro race. in this State today: and the teacher who succeeds in such work as that has gifts or train ing or character. emitting him or her to good pay, whether in trade, or in domestic service or in a school. It is not only unfair to ask such men and women to teach for si9 d month (and their pay could hardly average as much as that under the plains pro- posed) it is impossible to obtAin- for that amount the only kind of teaching which it is worth while to pay for at all. If any amendment to our consti- tuton reapportions the school fund so as to take from the negro children all hope of such teachers as this. 1t may almost be considered a redeeming feature of that amendment that t will also reduce the number of schools and shorten the term.
 And if such an amendment is ac- cepted in the supposed interest of our own children, we may confidently ex- pect the day to come when they will not thank us us for our action. The negro home can develop at best ,but

In the district court at Choteau last
Monday David P. Smith familiarly known
as Badly" Smith was acquitted of the
charge of murder in the second degree
for the shooting OF Philip Lucero which
occurred at Dupuyer last September.
The trial consumed just one day OF the
term, the jury retiring at quarter of six
taking about Ak hours for elaboration
As near as can be learned, a majority of
the jury were in favor OF acquittal OIL the
first ballot, but a few mad conscientious
scruples which however gave way to the
opinion of the majority. The facts of
the shooting are familiar to our readers
and the verdict gives general satisfaction
to those who were acquainted with the
circumstances. The jury was compose d

Ex.pREs1pENr HARRISON DEAD.

General Benjamin Harrison died at 4.45
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, without
regairing consciousness. His death was
quite and painless, there being gradual
sinking until came the end, which was
marked by single gasp for breath as life
departed from the body of the great
statesman.
The relatives, with a few exceptions,
and several Of his old and tried friends
were at the former Presidents bedside
when he passed away at his magnificent
home at Indianapolis.
The gradual failing Of the remarkable
strength shown by the patient became
more noticeable in the afternoon, and
few moments before the end there was ar
apparent break down on the part OF tht
sufferer, as he surrenderd to the disease
against which he had been 50 bravely
battling for 50 many hours.
The change was noticed by the physi
clans and the relatives and friends wh'
had retired from the sick room to th'
library below were quickly summoned
and reached the bedside of tile genera
before he passed away.

(Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr. }

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was
q synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say 1t is ''good" plaster does
not describe it it is the best possible plaster
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
pIasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received fifty. .1fcs highest Gtoards.
