Hugh Suttles and Edward Green Suttles were walking across trestle about ten feet high and which was a quarter of a mile from the lake. While on the trestle Southern Railway train came along.

 soon these descendants of Ham were to all outward appearance, racking their brain over the questions given out by Su-
 perintendent Espy.
 Yesterday morning the Superintendent, while passing among the busy applicants, spied some questions on grammar lying upon one neGro's desk. and not having given out the questions on this branch he knew something was wrong. Upon investigation he found that this would be educator had the questions and an-
 swers, with the answers written out on
 legal cap paper ready to be turned over, in his pockets. Soon there was stir
 among the guilty parties and upon a
 search the Superintendent found ten of
 the applicants with the questions and an sWers hidden ab put their person or in the tablets they were using.
 He immediately demanded of them to
 know where they sec'.red their cherished
 treasures and gained the information that the questions and answers were secured
 from the Rev. L. G. Brooking. colored
 divine of the A. M. F.. Church at this place who also teaches country school.
 Upon the payment of $25 he furnished
 these papers to ten who were applying for third grade license.
 Professor Gspy put the following ne- groes out of the room and took all their papers from them: s. G. Urquhart, L. E. Cotton Wm. Craddock. w. H. Lewis,
 Mary Harris, Lila Belle Chisolm, Kate
 Lee. Connie Gibson. Willie B. Connolly
 and one other not known to correspon- dent.
 Some of the negroes say that Brooking secured the papers from man by the pane of Hall living in Montgomery. but they do not know whether he Is white | man or a negro. Brooking has not vet put in his appearance although Superin- | tendent Espy has sent for him. None of the white applicants were implicated | in the affair.
