CAREL ESSNESS SHOWN
EXAMINER sEDBERRY REPORTS
 ON THREE OFFICIALS.
Superintendents of Education of Mar shall, DeKalb and Cherokee Counties Criticised for Con-
 duct of Their ofices.

In report submitted to Governor Jelk
 yesterday. G. F. Sedberry, Assistan
 State Examiner of Public Accounts, sayi
 three County Superintendents of Educa
 ton in Alabama have been guilty ui "ap palling carelessness' in the conduct. o
 their offices.
 The superintendents on whom report,
 were filed are J. L. Barnard of Marshall
 County. T. J. Cook of DeKalb County
 and A. o. Williams of Cherokee County The complete report of Examiner Sed-
 berry Is as follows:
 Hon. W. D. Jelks, Governor of Ala bama, Montgomery:
 l Dear Sir-In obedience to instructions | received from the office of the Chief Ex- | ecutive, have examined the books, 'ac-
 counts and vouchers of J. L. Barnard, ] County Superintendent of Education of l Marshall County; of T. J. Cook, County Superintendent of Education of DeI<alb County, and of A. o. Williams. County Superintendent of Education of Cherokee County, from October l. 1901, and beg
 leave to submit the following report: T find that these Superintendents have accounted for all moneys which have come into their hands from the State. ale though in many instances they have shown appalling carelessness in keeping their accounts, and in requiring from teachers and trustees correct reports and vouchers
 The law regulating the payment of school money to teachers is so plain, and the instructions which have been sent out from the Department of Education are so explicit and urgent, that 1t would seem hardly possible for an intelligent officer, who desired to obey the law. to make mistakes or to fail to have his accounts at all times correctly balanced
 My examination of the accounts of the County superintendents above referren to shows, however that their principal idea seems to have been that the County had to its credit a certain amount of money, and their prime duty was to see that it was put into circulation through the me- dium of the teacher. They were exceed ingly careless in the matter of requiring reports to be made according to law In some instances, the reports were not sworn to. in some instances. the reports were not signed by the trustees. and when the signatures appeared. in many bases. one man signed them all; in some instances, school funds were paid on the simple order of the trustees, and in a majority of the cases there existed some irregularity in the voucher.
 "In order that the school money he properly disbursed it seems to me that
 these officers should be held to strict compliance with the latter of the law. Respectfully submitted, "G. F. Sedberry, Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts"

Cakewalk Genesis.

According to foreign journal the cake walk Is of French origin. Like football" 1t says, which is an old French game. the cakewalk was invented in France At first it was known by another name, and the story goes that in the seventeenth century 1t was imported to Louisiana by persons whom the Chief of Police had sent to the new colony, thinking it well to rid Paris of them. Captivated by the boisterous dance, the negroes quickly learned and appropriated it, and now, af- ter two centuries, they give it back to us with all its crudities removed and vari- ous new charms added to it."

THE FIRST HANGING.
Two Negroes Convicted of Murder in
 Crenshaw.

Luverne. Sept. 25.-(special)-The first verdict ever rendered by a jury of Cren- shaw County to hang was rendered to- night in the case of two negroes, Lon Shaw and Jim Chambers. Four negroes were being tried for the murder of Will son Champion. whose body was found in a stream in the northern part of the coun- ty some time in the early spring. Two Of the negroes were acquitted. The mur- dered negro was weighted with heavy rocks but the unweighted part of the negro foated and the buzzards attracted the attention of the neighboring people. The evidence was very strong. Ihere IS little probability of a new trial

Blind Tigers Have a Po,r Show in
 Florence.


 Florence, Sept 25.-(Special. .)-The en- tire criminal docket for the September term of the Circuit Court for Lauder dale County was disposed of in three days and the juries discharged by Judge Almon. Solicitor W. H. Sawtelle made splendid record. securing twenty-two convictions out of total of twenty four cases. The docket was an unusually light one snd there were only two sen- tenced to the penitentiary. Judge Almon Is determined to break up the illegal traf- fic in whiskey and with that end in view made good his promise, given at the last term of court, to give such offenders the limit of the law. Will Crunk, Charles Estelle and John L. Mitchell, who were convicted on this charge, were fined and sentenced to the coal mines. Mitchell ap- pealed to the Supreme Court. Mitchell informed against Crump and testified against him at the March term of court an at this term was caught in the tolls himself. Judge Almon will take up the civil docket next Monday.

 Marion, Sept. 25.-(Special) )-Miss Har- rell, daughter of MT. Thomas Harrell of Walthalls Beat, and a sister of Prof E. E. Harrell of Scotts, was seriously scalded about the body and arms by the upsetting of kettle of water while preparing breakfast Thursday morning.
 The Legislature has repealed the muni- cipal law allowing the city to levy a spe- cial or privilege tax. A petition was sent up signed by men who pay two-thrds of this tax. asking that the law be allowed to stand, but from some cause our rep resentatives saw proper to turn 1t down. This repeal will reduce the city revenue about $1 800 per year. It was through this law the city was enabled to protect her bonded waterworks indebtedness when bankruptcy was threatened, and the cool CT and calmer thinkers fear a similar repetition unless the State municipal law now pending offers some avenue of relief in case of an emergency.
 A letter has been received from Con- gressman Underwood stating that he had received and endorsed four petitions for free rural mail delivery routes in Perry, and the same had been forwarded to the Nashville office, with the request that an inspector be sent out to investigate them as soon as possible. Perry hopes to se' cure five routes which will cover about three-fourths of the county, all that can be covered until the public roads are put in better condition.
 At a special meeting of the Commercial and Industrial Association held yester- day near $1,200 was raised to improve the public road leading from Marion to the Burroughs Ferry bridge on the Cahaba River. This road touches the best trade that reaches Marion, and it is thought with a good highway over 2.5O0 bales oi cotton can be diverted here that now seeks other markets.

The Everlasting Arms.

One of the sweetest passages IN the
Bible is this one: underneath are the
everlasting arms" 1t Is not often
preached from, perhaps because 1t Is
felt to be so much richer and more
touching than anything we ministers
can say about it. But what a vivid
idea it gives Of the divine support! The
first idea Of infancy is Of resting in
arms which maternal love never allows
to get weary Sick room experiences
confirm the impression when we have
seen a feeble mother or sister lifted
from the bed of pain by the stronger
ones Of the household. In the case or
our Heavenly Father the arms are felt
but not seen. The invisible secret sup
port comes to the soul in It's hours OF
weakness or trouble, for God knoweth
our feebleness. He remembereth that
we are but dust.-T. L. Cuyler, d. d.

There is a voice, unheard by the nat

the deaf can hear and which the
strongest of men cannot destroy. 1t is

HIGHWAY DRAGGING
THE KING PLAN FOR IMPROVING
DIRT ROADS.

HOW the "OEk anu
Has Been Accomplished by This
Method-Dragged Roads Always In
Good Condition.
In an article in recent number OF
the Municipal Journal and Engineer ID.
W. King of Maitland, Mo-, gives some
new facts Of interest about his method
of improving dirt roads by the use OF a
road drag. Mr.. King says:
THE use of the split log drag is no
longer an experiment in Missouri and
adjoining states. l began dragging in
1896 and have dragged regularly ever
since. | dragged a half mile stretch OF
road for four years before any of my
neighbors began, but after they started
they came with rush. Now the coun-
" has a standing offer to furnish the
material 20 any farmer who will make
and use drag. To show the simple
ity of this drag fifteen were made last
spring at one crossroads blacksmith
shop in one week. The Missouri state
board Of agriculture has made road
dragging a feature Of its farmers in
stitutes the past year and with fine re-
suits. A postmaster reported 100 miles
of road dragged within a week after
