A QUESTION OF COLOR.
Vexing Problem Will Probably be
Settled.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Nov. 20.-The
trial of the mandamus case, which
Robert Gilliland had instituted to
compel the Buncombe county board of
education to admit his six children to
the public schools of the county, was
opened here today. The children had
been dismissed from a county school
on the allegation that they had negro
blood in their veins. The case has at
tracted a great deall of attention in
this and other southern states and 1t
promises to be highly sensational. Gill
liland claims that mis- ancestry can
be traced for a hundred years. Should
the suit be decided in favor of Gill
liland. the result will affect about five
hundred persons living in Buncombe,
Madison and Henderson counties.

He lodged the heavy toe of Jonass
boot and fastened down the grayeled
walk to his buggy at the gate.
Jonas went back to the kitchen and
cleared ug the breakfast dishes. Then
he sat own with his pipe to think It

Jonas nature was se1f-contained,
and he did not show his emotions. Yet,
as he wandered about the house,
thinking Of Eliza, he came very near to
tears. Ii was all so lonesome and for

there-but he put the thought reso-
lutely away. Bully was not there:
Billy was but memory, and Ann
Eliza was dead, and home was home
mo longer. Jonas was up long before
dawn the next morning. AS Squire
Barlow had predicted, he cooked bis
last breakfast, and by sun-up he was
ready to depart He stepped out Of
the ward without look back. The

Jonas was cooking a bit Of bacon
on the little stove when the door open
ed and a rasping voice spoke famil-
iarly: Coin to sell out | see, Jonas,
eh?'
Jonas looked up in evident displeas-
IRE. He was a slender old man-per-
haps seventy years Of age. His hair
was thin and white, and his beard and
moustache grew long and straggly,
showing the pink skin beneath, for
Jonas was in prime health as a result
Of his regular, active farm life. Now
his cheeks were pinker with irritation.
Squire Barlow was not a welcome Wis
ftor. Jonas's glance encountered
another old man--as advanced in years
as himself, but not as well preserved.
He was short and stout, with black,
beady eyes deep-set In yellowish,
Ieathery face. He looked the mean,
hardhsted man he was known to be;
and as Jonas was not pleased with the
interruption he turned again to the
stove, giving curt assent to the
Suuire's inquiry:

meanin' of red flags jes' as well as

Jonas continued his preparations TOT
