and fined Charlie Herrell, a ne
gro but lately arrived in the city
from Birmingham, S25 for carry
ing concealed weapons. Harrell
met trouble Saturday night by
endeavoring TO arouse in the
breast Of Mr., S. 3. Street a re
spect for coons in his class. =
Mr.. Street promptly knocked
him down, but before further
/ punishment could be admins
tered. Herrel made his escape.
After hot chase for two blocks
he was finally captured. HereIl
attempted to ward off his pur-
suers by displaying a pistol but
was prevented from making
trouble by bystander. The
negro was taken ia charge by
officers ana lodged in jail for
safe keeping until his trial yes
terday. 1t is a matter of regret
that the negro had money enough
to pay his fine as hands on the
County Farm are becoming
scarce.

night last week. The animal was
taken by a strange negro who
was seen lettering around the
neighborhood. and after a long
and circuitous route, the negro
arrived IN Tuscaloosa where he
offered the horse. bride and
the saddle for the sum of $500.
It was such great bargain that
the sheriff decided to take it in,
and he took the negro with it.

"Homer Davenport, the famous car

phasized with rapid drawing, keeping
his audience in a continual bubble of

his wonderful ability and charm as a

lection of odds and ends that have, IN
some instances, been used in school
by the parents of those now using them,
over thirty years ago, while the latest
books in use aremore than fifteen years
behind the times. County Commission
or Putney says it would be impossible
for a pupil depending on the use of
these books to pass an eighth grade ex-
animation. Still, strange as II may
seem, there are people to be found who
oppose any change of books and "can't
see why one book isn't az good as an
other" and say "books that were good
enough for them are good enough for
the children of today" and these clogs
on the wheels of educational progress
are hindering our young people who
are bright enough to wish TO make the
most of their time In school, keeping
from them the means they are entitled
to in common schools. to prepare them
for entering high school anywhere.
These mems minds must have been
asleep, that they are unaware of any
educational progress having been made
in the last twenty five years.
