Political circles have discussed little

If this View of the Akron speech of

decidedly sensational political activities

jackson Evening News. May 4th.l
The expected has happened.
Uncle Sam has taken cognizance
of the Franklin county white cap
per outrages.
Three hundred indictments
against citizens Of franklin coun-
ty were returned by the Federal
grand jury shortly before the
noon hour today.
This is the largest batch of true
bills ever reported in the South
ern district of Mississippi, and
the quickest piece of work ever
accomplished by grand jury in
this city.
The body has been in session
less than four days, yet during
this short period the members
were made intimately acquainted
with the white capper organiza-
tion in franklin county and all
its rarnifications. 1t was a thor
ough exposure, and the evidence
was so overwhelming that there
was no hesitancy in returning true
bills against the suspected par
ties.

It had been freely rumored
around the Federal building ever

that DR.. A. M. Newman, the well

and former president of the Far

County School Items.

With Fair River visited on the
evening Of May 1st, all schools Of
Beat 2 have been examined.
Some excellent work is being
done BY the schools in this part OF
the county; among these being
Heuck's Retreat, Centreville, and
Whites Line. But the two schools
in this district deserving special
mention are Clear Branch, Miss
Mattie Furr teacher, and Fair.
River. w. g. Williams principal,
Miss Lucia B. Moore and Miss
Mary A. Curran, assistants. The
work done by Miss Furr is char
acterized by her usual thorough
ness and painstaking attention to
duty. On approaching the school
building, judging from outside
appearances, q visitor would not
expect to find within the home Of
one Of the best conducted schools
in the county; but the writer
learned with pleasure that the pa
irons of the school contemplate
improving the building at a very
early date. In the school room
were evidences of neatness, order
and systematic work.
At Fair River one needs but to
be in the school room short
while to fully realize that this is.
the most prosperous session in the
history of the school. Mr.. w. g.
Williams, the able principal, ac-
|quired his literary and profess
sional education at the Peabody
School for Teachers, at Nashville.
All of his work is characterized
by science and system that makes
it possible to obtain none but the
best results. Miss Lucia b.
Moore, the first assistant, is an A.
B. graduate of Stanton College,
Natchez, the school presided over
by Ex-Supt. j. r. Preston.
While this is her first year in the
work, her scholarship, energy and
uniform good humor has over
come all obstacles. lii addition
to her work in the literary
branches, she has the class in ex-
preston, and with Miss Myrtice
Rollins as her representative, she
proposes to win for Fair River
and beat 2, in the gold medal con-
test on May 18th. The patrons
of her school learn with regret
that another engagement prevents
her retarn. Miss Mary A. Cur
ran has the Departmental music.
The large music class requires two
pianos for the work. Her untir-
ing energy and never failing In
terest as a teacher is displayed in
the work Of her performers. She
carries to the county contest as
the music representative Of beat
y, Miss tta Moore.

AT RUTH.

In company with a bright crowd
of young people from Brookha-
ven the writer had the pleasure of
attending the district contest at
the school of Miss Bennie A.
Dunn 10 beat 3. This was one Of
the best contests of the season,
there being more schools repre-
|sented than at any other in the
county. A pupil from Mr.. Ethan
Aliens school won the contest in
defamation, while Miss Maggie
Redding's school at Topisaw, won
in eIocution. There is no cues.
tion that, taken as a whole, the
schools OF this district are the
best in the county. None realize
this better than those of the visit
|Ors who examined the magnificent
Exhibit shown on this occasion.
From everyone came expressions
of admiration and appreciation of
the excellence of the work. Miss
Dunn deserves a great deal Of
credit for the skill she has shown,
not only in the management Of
her own school, but Of the entire
district. She has been llnan-
|imously elected as principal for
another term.

1--WE reached Eldon about 10 o'clock
and had to wait there some time for
our Centerville train. An agent of
some saloonkeeper or other parties
was among my men within few min
utes after our arrival, informing them
where they could get beer. Two Of the
men responded and went to the rear
of a closed saloon and bought two
bottles of beer Just as they turned
to leave the city marshal and night
watchman appeared and placed the
men under arrest for buying beer after
closing hours. They did not modest

pleaded guilty, etc, and the city Off
