A COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

Mr.. Editor;
AS the question of high school
for Benton County is being agitat-
ed by those who know the need Of
it, I wish to call attention to few
facts bearing on the subject.
Think a moment, and then see if
you can name one frst-class teach
er who completed his or her educa-
ton in Benton County. Not one.
This being a fact, have you ever
thought how much it must have
cost the parents Of our boys and
girls to send them to Kentucky,
Ohio, Nashville, Lebanon, Dick
son, Edgewood, Jackson, McKen-
zie and many other places where
good schools abound, thus depriv-
ing our county Of the money thus
expended?
For example, say Benton County
has sent one hundred and fifty of
her boys and girls away from home
one term each in the last ten years
at a cost of 5000. That would be
$4,000, a sum sufficient to build
and maintain a good high school
here in the county for the same
length Of time. Then with a high
school right here at home, fully one
thousand of our boys and girls
would receive a higher education
and others now coming on could
improve the opportunities afforded
them by such a school, and the
money thus expended would not be
sent abroad, but kept at home.
AS it is only one hundred and
fifty probably could go elsewhere
to complete their education, while
the poorer boys and girls of our
county, among whom will be found
some Of our best talent, are unable
to endow themselves for higher
and more creditable and useful SER
vice in life, and all because oul
county has been laggard in provid-
ing for the better education Of the
rising generations.
Another thought. five had the
high school, we would have oul
children at home or near home
where we could look after them and

NOW READY FOR WORK
AMALG AWAITED ASSOCIATION SET
TIES CREDENTIALS QUESTION.
Contested Seat Committee Reports a
compromise on the Delinquent
Assessment Cases.

WHEELING. w. Va, April 1s.-As pre-
dicted. a compromise has been effected IN
the ~Amalgamated Association regarding
the lodges which failed to pay the recent
strike assessments. This morning the con-
tested-seat committee reported to the con-
vention. The report is a very diplomatic
one. The main point of issue was the
lodges which declined TO pay the assess
ments, four in number, made after the
strike had been declared off. Their claim
was that the assessments were unconstitu-
tional. The lodges which did pay the as
sessments wanted the %delinquents sus-
pended, and the situation was intense.
The contested-seat committee realized that
the case required careful treatment, for
the delinquent lodges were so great in num-
Der that it would be decidedly unwise to
antagonize them. At the same time it was
necessary to uphold the national officers.
The report uphOlds the cOnstitutiOnality
of the assessments and the action of the
executive officers in making them is in
dOrSed. Particular reference, in a compli-
mentary vein, was made regarding PreSi-
dent Shaffer's action in originating the as
SesSmeats. The opposition to the assess
ments was treated equally kindly. The ex-
act nature of the report in respect to the re-
belliOus lodges is not disclosed, but ii is
known that some were exonerated and
given a clean bill and the difficulties with
the others were so adjusted as to give them
a reasonable time to pay up their delin-
linquencies, which they agreed 10 do. In
view of the existing conditions ii was not
considered wise TO censure delinquent
lodges and their course in refusing TO pay
was practically condoned. 1t took nearly
the entire session to explain the report
and the committees reasons for making IT.

IMPORTANT AGREEMENT BY ALLAN
TIC STEAMSHIP LINES.
Combination That VIII Operate in
Harmony with American Rail-
ways-The British Loan.

LONDON, April 19.-The Daily Telegraph
this morning announces that prolonged ne
gotiations have resulted in a new combi-
nation among the steamship lines, involv-
ing no change in officials and little change
in management. The lines involved are the
White Star. the Dominion. the Leyland.
the Atlantic Transport, the American and
the Red Star lines.
The Times says that Mr.. Pierre, OF Har-
Ian G. Wolff, and j. Z. Morgan have been
the principal agents in the affair. The
Times considers significant the statement
that the combination will work i'm unison
with the American railroads. This is looked
upon as a very important factor. The pa
per says it thinks that, as in the case Of
the American railroads, passenger interests
will not suffer, and, at any rate. passen-
gers will not be quite helpless as long as
the Cunard line maintains its attitude OF
splendid isolation.
