DEFENSE or THE BAD BOY.

Subject of Address BY Pref. Mynders
Thursday.
"It was sultry day of summer time
The sun poured down upon the rlpen-
ing grain
With qulvering heat, and the sus-
pended leaves
Hung motionless. And 1t seemed
As if the air had tainted and the pulse
Of nature had run down, and ceased
to beat -
These warm June days are the
dreaded days in the shcool room when
curly brown heads are laid sleepily
upon the desks, or are only awake for
new mischief. Idle, listless Johnnie
catches flies sweet-tempered Louise is
hot and snapplsh; conscientious
Emily little damp hands blur her
papers, and all the tired young brows
are wet with perspiration.
Grown folks are ''only children
grown TALL and we might find
Johnnies, Louises, and Emilies among
the teachers of our Institute this
week, were it not that the instructors
are so thoroughly alive to their work
and keep the audience on the quivive
for what is to come next. The blister
ing weather of yesterday afternoon has
made more than one teacher wish it
was the fad in Columbia for men to go
coatless when abroad. Let some one
start the fashion here. Belts have
already taken the place of the ug y
suspenders with the teachers who still
have their waists with them; and for
those who have not, some sort OF har-
ness will he invented as a trouser sup
port. Here to the coatless teacher,
and may he get all the comfort there
is in life for him who has to spend
hot. summer days in the school-room.
The hour of the afternoon meetings
has been changed from 3 80 to 3
o'clock.
Prof Mynder's address in defense
of the Bad Boy yesterday afternoon,
was splendid. He described the boy he
was to defend, and brought out MANY
fine points in his favor. Lazy, threat
ening. fault-finding teachers were
heavily scored for these faults, so often
found in the character of him Tor herr
who have the charge of unframed, en-
quiring children.
The information lesson on SOS
triches'' was replete with facts. Such
lessons are suggestive to teachers who
can often tide over tedious recitation
by recourse to these devices. The
large ostrich farms in California and
Jacksonville, Florida, were told
about; the training of the huge
birds to be rode and driven; the de-
scription and habits. and in truth.
many little facts, that even well-in-
formed people do not know.
Fridays Session.
The Institute opened this morning
with devotional exercises by Rev. J.
B. Green. Quite number of teachers
had arrived since yesterday, and the
outlook is bright for full attendance

The different lessons and lectures on
the programme for today, were bright
and interesting. giving the teachers

WALNUT STUMPS
In Big Demand and at High Prices
in Coffee.

Tullahoma, Tenn, June 17.-Old
walnut stumps are on boom through
out this region. Stumps that have. re-
manned unnoticed for years and were
regarded as worthless, are now eagerly
sought after at prices that seem almost
fabulous. An Indiana concern has
had men travelling over the country
buying every old walnut stump that
could be found. At first the prices
paid were small. but as the eyes Of the
stick timber folks began to open, the
prices went higher and higher, until
now it is out OF sight; and the funny
part about it is that the uglier, knot
tier and more unsightly the stump,
the more money it will bring The
stump OF a walnut tree that was cut
down several years ago, brought more
than the whole tree. 1t Is stated
that the stumps are made into We
neering material, and used in the
manufacture of high grade furniture.

A Splendid Parade.

The pupils of the town schools.
under the direction of the
teachers, made a splendid de-
monstratiOn last Thursday.
They paraded through the streets
of the town, singing appropriate
songs as they marched along.
They met on the courthouse
square and merely by their
presence made a most eloquent
appeal for the school tax. They
were addressed by Judge Julian
Mouton and Mayor Caffery who
made short impromptu talks,
dwelling upon the school tax
question which was then being
voted upon. The Gazette has no
doubt that this very commenda'
BILE interest in public education
shown by the teachers and pu-
pills on this occasion made several
votes for the tax.

When Prince Henry visited

School Board.

The School Board met Thurs
day in regular session. AS there
was no means Of ascertaining
what funds would be available,
the question of closing the
schools was not decided. The
schools will remain open so long
as there will be any money left,
and it is safe to say that the ses-
sion will not be less than eight
months. A committee was ap-
pointed to call on the City COun-
Gil next Monday with a view of
securing some financial assist
ance from that body. The Ca
zette believes that something
should be done to enable this
town to continue the local seS-

pOrtance that this gay king of

remaining feathers and his shat
tered frame to the elements.
When Lafayette won the Indus

rest was disturbed to greet the
dawn of new day, and this
morning he appears to celebrate
victory equally grand and
glorious.
AS will be seen by the figures
which are printed below there
was considerable opposition to
all four propositions submitted
to the taxpayers of the town.
It was evident on the day of the
election that the opponents OF
the tax had been actively and
Systematically at work as was
shown by the strength which
they unexpectedly developed.
The advocates of the plan made
no organized effort to bring out
the full strength of their side.
They relied too much on the in
trinsic merit of their cause.
which accounts for the small
numerical majority for the school.
In valuation, it will be noted. the
vote for the school is much
larger than that cast against 1T.
The results of this election
mean a great deal to this town
, Increased water and light facil-
tiles and a modern SchOOl-hOuSe

when he left here and to those
who were familiar with the ma
ture of the disease which had so
greatly impaired his once robust
constitution the sad intelligence
of his death was not unexpected.
Mr. LacOSte had been a sufferer
for quite Il long time. though
few persons were aware of his
condition. Being a man of stout
frame and accustomed to very
active life he fought manfully
against the inrOadS of an insl-
diOus disease. A few days be-
fore his death he was seen at his
place of business attending to
his daily work. His had been
very busy life, and it may be
truly said of him that he ceased
to work when the lengthening

the deceased obey the command

a good purpOSe-tO rear a large
family in the fear of God and the

LacOste was a big-hearted man
and his kindness was not re-

and during long and well-ived
life did much by word and act to
tighten the burdens of those who
seemed stricken by an adverse
fate Intimate business and So
cial relations during thirty years
with large number of people of
this town and parish served to
bring out the good qualities Of
of people who followed his re-
mains to the grave and paid to
his memory their last earthly
tribute spoke eloquently of the
esteem in which he was held in
this community. Mr.. LacOSte
came here when he was a small
boy. At an early age he learned
the blacksmith trade in his
fathers shop and followed this
line of work until about five years
ago when he engaged in mer-
) camille business, achieving 4
large measure of success. AT
the time of his death he was at
the head of one of the most pros
