Pastor Sued AS A Jilt.

The summons served on Rev. John w.
Davis, pastor Of the Baptist Church at
Pedricktown, in the breach Of promise
suit brought By Miss Agnes Justice, Of
PENIS Grove, was returned last Friday
by the Sheriff. The clergyman has thir-
ty days to file his answer to the charge
Of Miss Justice.
The suit has been brought to correct
the. public statements made detrimental
to Miss Justice and to recover only the
expenses incurred in the suit and prep
aration for the wedding.
1t is said that friends of Davis admit
that he was engaged to wed Miss Justice,
but that last summer she objected to his
calling on the yonng women Of his con-
gregation, and that she became SO exact.
ing that Mr.. Davis felt compelled to
break the engagement.
Miss Justice says the s~saterent that
she was exacting toward the pastor wal
ridiculous. The 8 will probably be
tried at the next term Of the Salem Cir
cult Court.

All Will be Witnesses.

Marcus Hook is in danger of being de-
populated Of men when the United States
Circuit Court at the October term in
Philadelphia, calls up for consideration
the case against the Sun Oil Company.
The Sun Oil cases have a history of their
own, and it is not all written vet. The
company reines Texas oil at Marcus
Hook, and the people there do not like
the company or the smell OF the oil, nor
yet the smoke that, they say, comes
down like a pail and spoils everything Il
falls upon. 1t is said that every voter in
the Hook is summoned as a witness on
n side Of the other in the case. The
complainants are property owners, who
declare that their property has been
ruined, their health endangered, and
their lives made a burden by the works
Of the oil company. It is reported that
a good many Of the voters are regularly
employed by the company, and this
gives rise to some difference Of opinion
as to the mount of damage done wher
the matter is discussed on the stree,
corners down at the Hook.

Borough Council Dofngs.


A regular meeting of the Borough
Council was held Tuesday evening.
Councilmen Hunt, Jordan, Leap, Cook
and Hammitt we're present. Mayor El-
kinton presided.
A communication was received from
the Board OF Health stating that the
bridge on State Street had become a nuis-
ance and should be taken up because Of
the stagnate water and filth under it.
The Council ordered it taken up because
it served no purpose, as a drain as the
ditch on both sides was higher.
A second communication was received
from the Board of Health declaring the
filth in the ditch along John and Mary
Streets a nuisance and a menace to good
health and recommending that it be
cleared out and later that pipe be put in
and the ditch filed up to the street level
also that the ditch through w. A. Sacks
property be cleared out. On motion the
communication was referred back to the
Board of Health with a notification that
the RnronghG oa go
on private properly to make improve
ments.
Mr.. Hunt stated that Simpkins Broth
ers had dug a ditch along their property
below the station to drain back of their
boat house towards the street which goes
down to the sturgeon house. They wish
ed to have a ditch dug along this street
to continue their drain. The Council did
not think it advisable to add more ex
pense to the Borough.
Current bills were ordered paid.
On motion it was ordered that $3.50 be
borrowed in anticipations Of taxes.
Bids received for Dietz Street lamps.
Jas. Sweeten, Jr., offered to furnish them
for 1926. R. F. Willis for $3.45. On
motion the contract was given Mr.. Sweet

mittee appointed had met Solicitor Foge
and W. S. Morrison for consultation con.
eerning Borough Improvements. Mr..
Fogg said there was no obstacle to pre-.
vent Council from granting franchises te
corporations or individuals. The ques
ton of lighting the Borough with electric
power from the Powder Works wa dis
cussed but no definite information pro
cured. The committee reported 50 much
progress and was discontinued.

AN EDUCATIONAL CATECHISM.
A Number of Pertinent Questions
For the Fathers and Moth
ers of the south.

Is the child the supreme interest of
the state
Is the education of the child the
greatest investment IF the state?
Can there be any better test of true
citizenship than activity for public
education?
Should the payment of taxes for
schools be considered nor of a priv
ilege than a duty?
Is it a wrong to the clild to keep
him in a poor school nearby when he
might attend a good consolidated
school a mile or two away?
Can the problem of education in the
south be evolved without district tax
alton?
Should we expect an efficient sys-
ten of public school if we DO not
have ~non-partizan specialists as
school officials?
Can we employ suitable teachers on
poor salaries?
Is manual training in the schools a
necessity or a luxury?
Is the influence of attractive school
houses and grounds of decided edu-
cattve value?
Should we emphasize only those
studies hat contribute most to the
usefulness of the pupil in after life?
Can the south rise tc industrial
p1 ominence without industrial educa-
ten?
Would agricultural courses in the
public schools greatly Increase the
product of southern farms?
The Tupelo journal., 1903-01-16
The Proper Public Sentiment.

Our people must realize that, while
it is their duty to pay taxes for the
protection of life and property, it is
their still higher duty to pay taxes for
the education of their children. They
must believe that it is the ~inalienable
right of every child to demand and to
receive the benefits of an elementary
education at least, and hat the most
profitable investment of the body
polite, measured in dollars and cents,
is the tax fund invested in the brains
and capabilities of children. They
must feel deeply that conception of
truth and recognition of duty are
not alone tetaoinlaws, Mshrdulwyppp
must justify their faith,taxes must be
levied and collected, and wise, intel
ligent supervision of the public agen-
cies of education must be maintained.

William Birth, 95 years of age, deaf

EDUCATION !
RURAL SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Figures Showing What is Being
Done In Various States to Sup
port school Libraries.

Arizona gives $50 every year for
books for school libraries to every
district having one hundred children.
California has a district law n
makes annual contributions to the
libraries. Colorado gives one-tenth of
a mill school tax to its rural libra
ries. Illinois allows an amount not
to exceed two mills, Indiana one
fourth to one-third of a mill, Iowa
one mill. Kentucky two years ago
enacted a law allowing the commits
sioners to use a part of the school
fund for libraries, one TO be at the
commissioners office, and then as
much as $40 for each school district
if the people would raise $40. As a
result, in two years, every county has
a local library in the courthouse, and
there is a library for every 720 chill
dren in Kentucky, and one book for
every ten children. Maryland allows
the superintendent to give SO if the
community will raise $40. Massachu-
sets SIS if the district will raise SIS.
New Jersey appropriates $50 the first
year, and SIS each year thereafter.
Michigan has it in the constitution
that the legislature shall provide for
at least n library in every town
ship. Minnesota has a similar law.
Missouri passed in 1900 a law allowing
the commissioners to withhold five
cents for every child enrolled in
school, and appropriate that money
for a school library if the community
would raise an equal amount. Under
that law, last year, the commissioner
writes me, they spent $16,0000 for il
braries, and he say there never was
money spent that brought a richer re-
turn. Kansas, Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, the Dakotas, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania and Vermont have district laws.
Wisconsin sets aside for district Ii
braries ten cents for every child en-
rolled. North Carolina passed a law
year before last apprOpriating $4,000
from the state funds to be paid out
$40 to every school district that
would appropriate SO. Mr.. Joyner,
the state superintendent, told me a
few weeks ago that the $1,000 was
taken up in three months; that they
bought in North Carolina last year D.
400 books for their school libraries,
and he said: "We propose to keep
that up-$5,000 a year-until every
school and every boy and girl has
access to the best literature of the
world."-Joseph S. Stewart, in the
Alkahest.
