From The School Messenger.

From The School Messenger.
Certificates of award are to be given
only to pupils who are neither absent
nor tardy during the whole of each
school month. 1t is lot enough that
a pupil attends twenty days in success
sion without being absent or tardy: he
must commence at the beginning of
the month and attend the entire month
without being absent or tardy. This
will entitle him to one of the small
certificates of award.
In the early part of the present
school year it appeared that there
would be a superabundance rather
than a lack of teachers; nevertheless,
there has been quite a serious short
age of teachers in the county again
this year. This seems to be due to
the fact that many teachers make APP
plications for schools at the same
time to too many superintendent in
different parts of the country, thus
conveying the idea to the superinten-
! dents written to that there are more
teachers. th an schools, when the re-
verse of this is true. Each teacher
can teach but one school, but he car
make. a dozen applications for as
many schools.
The next school officers meeting for
this county will be held in Milbank.
on Saturday, December II, 1904. The
meeting will be in session from ]
O'Clock p. m. until 4 O'Clock. These
officers meetings are indispensable
to a proper understanding among
school officers, teachers and superin'
tendent, of their rights and duties,
and to enable them to work in har.
mony through the year for the best
interests of our schools. No schoo.
officer in the county can afford to be
absent from this meeting.

with the tenor of the news which was
generally favorable to values. The
voice of traffic officials both East and
West was practically in unison. the
steady expansion of traffic and the
promise of rather more business than
they will be able to attend to for the

Present car shortages are widely
complained of and the impression is
given that any further demand for
freight room will exceed present ca
pacity. The rising tendency of steel
products was still perceptible. The cf-

THE MlkADo AS HE IS.

From the New York Commercial.
 It is said that the Mll<ado bears but little resemblance to the portraits which are continually being published of him, and which have been doing service for fifteen or twenty years. He has become much more heavy faced and portly, and the appearance which he presents modht- ed on the old Japanese pony which he insists on riding is neither military nor yet impressive, sitting as he does all bundled up and with a pronounced stoop in an ill-dtting uniform, since his person Is so sacred that no tailor is ever allowed to measure him for his clothes. There is, indeed, nothing in his appearance of the trimness, the nattiness, and the elegance that distinguish the charming empress, who has a kind word for every one and has taken an active part in fostering the western civilization of Japan. She has no children, and the crown princes mother is one of the deputy wives or "megakes' of the emperor.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Fire Drills In Schools.

safhe fire drills which have been prae- tieed are of inestimable value, as evil denced by the rapidity and ease with which the Powell school was emptied yesterday" remarked one of the teach CTS
 When the alarm was given all or the six hundred or more children, ranging from the little tots to the members or the higher grades, marched out In perfect order and safety. The children by these drills, had been taught just what to do in an occurrence of this nature, and the result was there was no confusion, no disorder. and every child was safely out of the burning building, even before the fire department arrived
 'The perfect order which was maln- tained is manifest when you see the in- terior of the rooms; books are open on the desks, and papers and pencils In or der, a handkerchief, and here and there an apple-forbidden fruit-just as if the children had filed out for recess.
 Tt makes the heart sick to stop for moment and think what the result might have been, If stampede had occurred among the hundreds of children, some Of them having to come down from the third floor"

Counting Bales at inc Gins.

The price of cotton has risen to if teen cents because 0,218 ginneries re- ported the crop at 1O,205 ,O73 bales, as against 10,630, ,945 bales last year. This showing is accepted as vindication of the bulls, who have steadily insisted that the crop is a short one. If the census report had been issued on March 15, as planned, MT. Sully's firm would not have suspended, but would on the other nand kept control of the market.
 The census bureau has issued it's final report, and no figures can be ob- tained to snow that the present crop is equal to the needs of the world The crop is so small that production must be curtailed while the price is ad- yanced. The bulls were right. They knew the situation, and the bears did not.
 Counting round bales without reduc- t.-i. the crop of Alabama stands at 1,O23,959 bales. When all are reduced to 500-pound bales, this states crop Is found to be 9S6,221 bales, as against 956,215 bales grown in 1902. The diff ference is but 3O,0O0 bales, and no ob- server has estimated the current crop at so low figures. The final figures for Alabama go to show that we will do well if we grow this year million 500- pound bales.
 About May 1 the census office will publish statement showing by coun- ties the productions of the last five years. This statement will be inter- esting to local readers, but it will fur nish to the cototn exchanges no addi- tional information as to the size of the crop. Tho report just issued is the final count at the ginneries of the crop of 1903.

Ball PIayers' Salaries.

"The salaries of the New York and Pittsburg baseball players average s35O0 a year. said an enthusiast yesterday That is not a bad living for any man who Is moderate In his tastes and when one remembers that so many more fam files subsist on less than $3500 a year than do on s35O0 or over, it is easy to see that there Is money in baseball playing for the man who Is good at the game. The only trouble Is that few ball players save their money when they make it and when their palmy days are over many find themselves in hard luck. The average ball player is like a fish out of water when his usefulness on the diamond is ended He has spent his youth and young manhood in playing ball, so he does not know trade, he is handicapped by a lack of experience in nearly all lines of work that idle men usually pick up, and the result is that he does any thing that comes to hand. Often it is not very remuneratlve work either, but the former hero has the satisfaction of know ing that he was once great"
