seHooL TROUBLES IN MANNINe.
Prof. W. A. stuekey Sustained by the
Beard of Trustees.

Slight reference was made to cir
cumstance last week concerning an
affair, the principals in which were
Mr.. j. H. Lesesne and Prof. W. A.
Stuckey, Principal OF the Graded
School. AS sequel to that trouble,
Miss Gee, one of the teachers in the
school has resigned and gone home.
Tuesday Miss Jesse Mclean sent a
note to the principal refusing to teach
under him longer, and yesterday MISS
Ida Scarborough quit. The other
teachers, Miss Riser and Prof.
Thomasson and the principal are the
only ones teaching, the children in
the other departments having been dis
missed until further notice. The
school is very much disorganized and
the entire community in state OF
disquietude and public sentiment very
much divided. After the unpleasant
episode the trustees of the school held
a meeting, and after having all the
facts of the trouble stated, two OF
the trustees voted to retain Prof.
stuckey which virtually sustained
him, and which is said to have. led to
this latter friction. Mr.. Joseph Sprott,
the third trustee voted to the contrary.
The matter seems to not have been
settled to the satisfaction Of the COM
munity and until settlement is had
in unison with public sentiment it
will not rest. We will not presume to
suggest publicly what our ideas are as
to a settlement. OF one thing we are
very desirous, and that is that the eff
cheney of the school be procured and
maintained. We are very much inter-
ested in the welfare of the school and
are anxious for the trustees to take
such steps as will harmonic things at
the earliest possible moment.
Since the above was set up, We have
learned that Misses Mclean and Scar
borough have consented to resume
their work and that Miss Gees posi-
tion has been temporarily filed, so that
all departments will go on for the pre-
sent. Parents are hereby notified and
asked to send their children back to
schooI.-Manning Farmer.

soon be ready for occupancy. Mr.. II.
Lee Thomas has moved into his new
residence on Lafayette street.
Il is reported that several business
changes will take here about Jan. lst.
The buying and shipping Of cotton
seed has been carried on here quite
extensively fer several seasons and this
fall has been no exception. At times
it has been rumored that an oil mil
would be organized here, but as yet
there have been no developments
along that line. There is no reason
why such an enterprise would not sue
ceed, and some Of our energetic busi,
ness men should take steps in that di.
rection. There is no need to ship such
large quantities of seed from here wher
they could be utilize at home and sup
port profitable industry in Mayes
vile. It is hoped an oil mill will be
in operation here by next season.

Notwithstanding the Treasurer and

and Auditor Woodhann, yet business

The Lee County matter will be
brought upin the Supreme Court next
Monday, December 8. Various are the
conjectures of the outcome, but the
strongest evidence, that Lee County
is all right, is that the names Of Lee

IT TROUBLES THE STOMACH.
The Trust Question Begins to Come Close Home to the Pockets
 of the People.

The trust question threatens to re solve itself into national stomach trouble. And if it does the popular view of it will he rapidly and radically changed.
 As to iren, steel. copper tin. wire, nails and hardware generally. the peo- Die may listen more or less patiently to the proposition that trusts are beautiful and benefcent agencies for lessening the cost of production. rais- ing wages and cheapening prices. But ro argument will avail to reconcile the mass of mankind to the disappearing beefsteak the vanishing lamb stew and the shrinking ration of pork says the New York World Owen Meredith shrewdly says of man that

T. is the anti-clmax of the 'fuA dinner pail" The Suhtleties of the economists will be swept away like e'h"ehS when people are forced to welgh them against a lean larGer and pinched bill of fare.

 -Proteetionists in this country who jubiiate over the proteetionist trend of the British budget ought not to forget that the new grain duties will hit the American farmer in the corn belt worse than a drought. And that can be nothing to be glad about. Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 -Unless we read the signs of the times altogether incorrectly all eff forts to make eanti-imperialism the par amount issue will fail, although it will he an important issue. On the tariff reform proposition all democrats can get together, no matter how widely they split in 1896. And when they get together on a sane platform they will be reenforced by thousands of repub- lieans who now see the error of their protection ways-Toledo Bee.
 A tariff for protection to infant industries" and to maintain Ameri- can wages" is one thing; tariff that breeds trusts and empowers them to take the American people by the throat and make them pay more for the prod ucts of their own soil and industry than foreigners 5000 miles away is quite another thing. The days of the tariff for trusts only are numbered. The people are ready to demand share in their own prosperity.-N. \. I. World.
 It is time that congress stripped the mask of ''benevOlent assimilation" from this administration. Let the peo- pie have all the facts so carefully con cealed and so unblushingly denied by the war department, Let them see what really has been done in their name in the torture of noncombatants. the murder of prisoners. the burning indiscriminately of all dwellings in villages where some few 'insurgents" have been found. It is bad story. but when the people find out how bad it is they will also find remedy.-Bos- ion Post.

4 RED LETTER DAY.
triumph of the Democrats Over Re- pubIIcnns in the Cuban
 Tarin Battle.

The democrats in the house ot rep resentatives have scored a signal vic tory over their opponents.
 Standing at last. with a few unim. portant exceptions. shoulder to sEoul- der. the democrats divided and disor- canized the republicans, broke the autocracy of the speaker and amended tte Cuban reciprocity measure with provision aboli>hing tie GiFerertial tariff on sugar.
 This is certainly more than the most optimistic Cemocrat dared hope to ac- complish two weeks age, and is only foretaste of what the minority may yet do if 1t shall continue to present the compact front which it maintained in the battle, says the Louisville Courier Journal.
 It had been feared that there would be serious division among the demo- crats themselves on the proposition to reduce the tariff in favor of Cuba; but On the final vote only ten stood against it. The result is brilliant victory for he united nartv. and whether CT not the bill as passed by the house gets through the senate. the party victory remains. and its inspiriting effect is bound to be lasting and great.
 The djfferential duty on sugar. as all who are posted in tariff Legislation un- derstand. is the difference between the duty en raw sugar and the higher duty en refined sugar. This is the duty which the sugar trust has always de handed and has always got. Tie dem- ocrats now. in passing through the house repeal of that differential rate, have struck the trust strong blow and have taken an important step to- ward making the sugar tariff more a tariff for revenue and less a tariff for protection, while they have forced the republicans 10 align thems elves openly in defense cf the trust. l. is from every standpoint the most telling tri- amph achieved by the democratic mi nerity in years.
 Mir. Payne. the leader of the ropub- fean majority, says that this amend ment to the reciprocity bill carries with Y repeal of the eountervailing duty as well as of the differential duty. If that is true, SC much the better. The countervailing duty is the extra duty which must be placed upon sugar on which the government of the producer pays an export bounty; in other words. ' IS the result ef that phase of pro- lection which refuse. 10 allow the American consumer to get the benefit of the generosity of a foreign sugar producers government in partially paying the American tariff tax. If Mr. Payne k right. the democrats did a big ger days work than they were aware of themselves.
 II is likely that the amended bill will have rough sailing in the senate. The sugar trust is very strong in that bcdy. but even though the measure be finally passed without the house amendment the tactical advantage which the house democrats have won cannot be dimin- ished. II was red-letter day for the democrats iB congress.
