TEACHERS NORMAL
CLASS MEETINGS.
School Topics Discussed mt Chatham
Academy Inv Tenchera

School Topics Discussed mt Chatham
Academy by Teachers.
The regular session of the Teachers
Normal Class was held yesterday aft
ernoon at Chatham Academy. The
class met in two divisions. one COM
posed of the principals of the schools
and the others of the teachers. The
most important matter before the prin-
cipals was the discussion of topics re-
lating to school discipline and manage
ment.
Special cases are brought up and the
views of all asked upon the best
method of treating with them. 1t was
expected that the question of how to
deal with truants would be brought up
at this session, but owing to the time
given to other matters, it was post
poned until the next session of the
class.
The teachers of the different grades
met in another room with Supt. Otis
Ashmore. Similar questions were
brought up for discussion as in the
principals meeting. Discussions con-
corning the best methods of teaching
certain subjects were also taken up and
many interesting points were brought
out by the differnt members of the
class.
Miss Sara Charlton, directress of
physical training, was present at the
meeting and gave second lecture to
the teachers on the new department in
the schools. Notes were taken on the
lecture by all the teachers. After the
lecture a specimen lesson was taught
by Miss Charlton.

OUT AGAIN
what POwerfuI Food Can DO.

1t is evidently a scientific and power
full food that can take confirmed inva-
lids out OF bed and make them well
again.
After doctoring two years for ter
rible stomach trouble l concluded that
is was incurable," says a young wom-
an of Fillmore, III. II was confined to
my rooms all the time and expected to
be an invalid the rest of my life, having
given up all hope of ever being we'll
again and yet l recovered entirely ami
quickly by eating a few sroonfuls of
Grape Nuts food every meal in place
of the improper food that had ruined
my stomach.
IAN aunt recommended this food to
me so highly finally decided that to
be honest to myself l should give 1t a
fair trial and the result has certainly
been marvellous. At the time / began
eating Grape-Nuts / weighed los poundf
hut now weigh 159, a gain of "a
pounds. My strength and activity are
wonderful and l have truly found the
yyay to get well and keep well.
"As a strength giver for both mind
and body the action of the delicious
food Grape Nuts is so quirk and GER
tain that 1t seems like miracle" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Geek,
Mich.
There 10 no miracle about 1t.
There's reason.

PROSPERITY IN FLORIDA
Is Evinced by the Large Tax Re-
Observation-Disclosures News.

Is Evinced by the Large Tax Re-
Observation-Disclosures News.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct 2S.-Few states
in the South show more marked evil
dences Of prosperity than Florida. This
prosperity is evident not only in the
increased population and number Of
new corporations and other enterprises
being organized every day. but in the
largely increased property valuation in
practically every county in the state.
Controller Groom has received the
assessment rolls for the year 1903 from
thirty out of the forty-five counties.
The thirty counties heard from show
a total valuation of 1921, 598. For the
year 1902 the assessed valuation in
these counties was $76,276,71S. This
shows an increase of $6,9S4, $50.
The prosperity in the counties yet to
report has been as great, proportion
ately, as in those already heard from.
The State Normal and Industrial
School for negro students now has an
enrolment of 176. against los for Oct. l
last year. The dormitories are all
crowded and additional buildings will
be absolutely necessary to accommo-
date the rapidly increasing attendance.
An agitation in favor Of wet and
dry election in Leon county has been
started. There are now six saloons in

MANY ALIENS CAME.
Great Proportion of the New Popu-

Great Proportion of the New Popu-
latiOn Arrived in Storage.
Washington. Oct. 23.-The annual re-
port of Commissioner General Frank
P. Sargent of the Bureau of Immi-
grafton shows a large increase of
steerage immigration over that of the
preceding year, the aggregate for the
fiscal year of 1903 being S57,046, an
excess over that of last year of 20S,-
1903, or 32 per cent.
The statistics show an increase in
immigration from all foreign sources,
suggesting as the chief cause of the
influx of aliens into the United States
during the year the inducements Of
fered to settlers here rather than any
special causes of discomfort in their
own countries.
OF the total Storage immigration
there came from Europe 14,507, from
Asia 20, 966 and from all other sources
1858. IF to these figures are added
those representing the total arrivals
of alien cabin passengers, 64,269, the
result will show that the total immi-
grafton of aliens to the United States
during the year aggregated 921,31 or
105.043 more than the greatest num-
Der heretofore reported for any one
year.

Marshal Elliott ran for reinforce

WITH INClTING ANARCHY
A Speaker Was Charged and Taken
From a Hall.

New York, Oct. 23.-Armed with a
warrant sworn out by Secretary Cor
telvou of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, four immigration lnspec-
tors. with several secret service de-
tectives and a number of policemen,
went to Murray Hill Lyceum tonight
and arrested John Turner, an English
man, on a charge of melting and pro-
noting anarchy. in violation OF the
alien labor laws.
Turner had just finished a lecture
on Trade Unionism of the General
Strike" and the hall, which was
crowded, was in an uproar When the
arrest was made, but the police were
too numerous for the crowd 10 40 more
than shout their disapproVal.
Turner was put aboard a revenue
cutter and taken to Ellis Island, where
he was locked up.
immigration Commissioner Williams
has had a warrant for Turner's arrest
for the past five weeks. The federal
officials allege that he had been going
from city to city, preaching anarchy,
and though trailed by a number OF
Secret Service detectives, he was not
apprehended until tonight.
Emma Goldman sat on the platform
with Turner and denounced his ar
rest. but urged the crowd to leave the
hall without making a demonstration
The police confiscated a lot of an
archistic circulars and cards which had
been distributed announcing that John
Turner, chief organizer of the National
Shop Assistants (RetaiD Clerks Union

Council would deliver q series of lee

PYTHlAN MEMORIAL
MAY BE ARRANGED.
Lodge Secret Gives Added Impetus
to the Movement.

Lodge Secret Gives Added Impetus
to the Movement.
Added impetus has been given to
the movement to arrange a memorial
for the Knights of Pythias in Savan-
nah who have died within the last
year or two. The subject was discussed
some months ago, but was dropped
owing to the fact that there was lit
tie activity in any line among Pythians
during the summer months.
The last edition of the Lodge Sc
cret, the organ of Georgia Pythianism.
contains short statement on the mat
ter and regards the memorial as a prob
ability of the near future. The notice
in the Lodge Secret has revived the dis
cussion of the matter among the MEM
bers of the Savannah lodges and those
who have been approached on the sub
Ject were all heartily in favor of hold
ing public memorial.
The subject has been informally dis
cussed by members of the different
lodges and will be brought before each
body at its next meeting. If it is de-
cided to hold the service all the lodges
will combine in paying honor to the
dead of the order A large hall will
be secured and speakers of note will
be engaged to deliver the eulogies.
The ritual exercises Of the knights
of Pythias is one of the most beauti-
full of any of the secret orders. 1t is
made up of symbolic forms, beauti-
fully woven together in a symmetri-
cal whole. At appropriate points OPP
portunity is given for pronouncing a
eulogy, after which the regular clos
ing exercises are carried out.
A prominent member of one of the
Savannah lodges in speaking of the
matter to a Morning News representa-
tive yesterday, said: 1T is a matter
which should be looked upon as a duty
by every Pythian. The fraternal side
of the order is it's greatest strength
1t is only right that the living broth
ers should pay their tribute of honor
and respect to the dead.
THE losses among the Pythians have
not been many. but some of the de-
ceased held high offices in the local
lodges and some were state officials.
Nearly every other order in the city
has paid some token of respect to the
memory of it's dead. and 1 hope that
every lodge of Pythians in the city
will, at its next meeting, vote to do
the same l will see that the matter
is brought up in my lodge and will
ask the members of other lodges to
bring the subject before their bodies"
