SCHOOL TEACHERS
 ARE VERY SCARCE
QUALIFICATION IN LIMESTONE COUNTY ARE so RIGID THAT MANY SCHOOLS ARE VACANT. MANY GOOD OPENINGS.

Athens, March 3.-(Special,) ,)-There is fine opening in this county for young people or older ones who can teach. The state board of public schooi examiners have fixed the qualifications so high that it seems impossible for the people to supply teachers for the common schools. The county superintendent has just re- ceived official notice that the examination papers disclose that only eight out of a total of thirty passed the examination and would receive certificates in the January examinations.
 Not negro passed the examination, and a number who for years have been very successful teachers were applicants. It is claimed that from the way the matter is going in few years there will be no teachers among our people. The examina- tions sent out are said not to be a fair test of the ability of the applicants to teach the studies required to be taught in our public schools, but composed large ly of catch" questions. and one leading school man said that it would have been impossible for an average teachers to have passed for the lowest grade, and that the majority of questions were not such questions as tested the fitness of the ap-
 plicant at all for the work in the school room of the second and third grade public schools. There are many vacant schools in this county on account of the scarcity of teachers.

HEARST BOOM IS
 FROST AT SELMA
ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS GATHER AT COURT HOUSE TO PERFECT THE COUNTY ORGAN RATION IN DALLAS.

Selma, March 3-(Special)- )-The organi- zation of the Ftarst club in Stsaa to- night was anytit Eng but suspicious. De- spite the frequently published notice of the meeting and tse wide distribution of circulars, only about twenty-five citizens assembled in the court room at the court house and went through the form of per- fecting an organization.
 D. M Scott was made chairman and he stated that after consideration it had been decided not to put out a Hearst de- egation from Dallas county to the state convention. A resolution endorsing the Hon. H. S. D. Mallory as one of the del- egates at large brought forth the only debate, several of those present taking the position that MT. Mallory was not an avowed Hearst man and the Hearst club ought only to endorse a Hearst dele gate. Explanations were made and the resolution was passed. Committees on enrolment of members were appointed and an adjournment taken to next Wednesday night

COUNTY OFFICIALS INDICTED.
Sheriff Mayo of Calhoun Is Charged
 With Shortage.

Anniston, March g. = (Special)-The grand jury has returned true bills against Sheriff Mayo and the four commission CTS of the county. The charges against the sheriff is shortage and that against the commissioners Is allowing county prop erty to become delapidated. Circuit Judge John Pelham is the head of the court finding indictments. He has just returned from Ashland. Court has adjourned.
 He says the cause of the condition is that for the past five years grand juries have not been of the circuit but of the county and the officials have become very lax. On account of the improper condition of the jail, Judge Pelham ordered one prisoner released on his own recognizance and another removed to Talladega coun- ty jail. All officials were arrested but re- leased on bond. Impeachment proceedings may follow.
