BY Supt. III. r. FroSS.


Wanted, one first grade
teacher, salary $50 per
month; also three or four
second grades, salary $40
per month.
Wanted, an indefinite
number of schools for an
indefinite number of third
grade teachers. Any salary
will be accepted.
The above wants betray a
condition III Hand county
and it is this condition and no
theory Of the superintend-
ent's that confronts the
teachers of the county. All
the competition is in the
lower grade. AS in all
other professions, trades,
and callings there is plenty
OF room at the top But
those who reach the top, or
even approach it, must
climb and climbing is hard
work and requires pluck,
patience, and perseverance.
However, this same hard
work will develop these
very virtues and once they
are in the grasp of the indi-
vidual the highest rewards.
which effort can bring are
his. Labor is It's own re-
ward" not alone for the
pleasure which comes from
a knowledge of work well
done, but because of the
hardy virtues which it
stimulates and develops.
Our first teachers meet
ing of this season will be
held at the high school
building on the afternoon of
Oct. Z, beginning at 1:3O.
All teachers will of course
be present unless unavoida-
bly, detained at home, and
all others interested in the
cause of education are cor
daily invited to be present.

The Young Case.

In view,of the fiasco and
great expense in the case Of
the Youngs charged with
the murder of Todd in
which the warrant was is
sued and in fact the arrests
made without the sanction
or even the knowledge Of
the states attorney, it
would be we'll for our coun-
ty commissioners TO estab-
lish a rule by resolution to
the effect that in no case of
such Importance and gravi-
ty that no justices quarterly
report be accepted and costs
paid unless it was shown
that such warrant issued
and such arrest was made
after consultation with and
by the consent of the state S
attorney who might and
would as a lawyer have to
be convinced that sufficient
evidence was to be had or
forthcoming to warrant him
to go to trial thereon before
such warrant issued, in
stead of making the same a
dragnet to try and gather
evidence with, not to mem
tion fees.

THE Town Council of Milford

THE Town Council of Milford
was petitioned by people living
along North Front street to per-
NIT racing on the snow, but in view
of the fact that four hundred small
children pass up and over that
street four times a day, it was
deemed dangerous to relax the or
dinances regulating fast driving.
An accident to a child would mean
suit for damages, and the law hav-
ing been thrown down by the coun-
cilmeH themselves, the property
holders would be liable for heavy
damages. Frederick has found that
the free use of its streets has proved
a costly nuisance and nearly killed
one woman, aud Milford was COM
PEELED to put stop to it years ago.
There is no reason why racing on
the snow should be permitted in
the town limits, when racing on
the ground is punished.

THE Legislature has been wined
and dined by the city of Whining
ton, and it also made an inspection
of the handsome high school build
ing and other public places of that
city. This is preliminary to the
introduction of bills to be enacted
into laws for that city. It is proper
that all members shall know all
about the matters they are exPec-
ted to legislate for, and contact and
inspection will best fit the mind
for the purpose. What Whining
ton needs most of all is plenty of
business for her manufacturing es-
tablishments, and a new charter
that will give local self-government
without the intervention of COM
missions.

SENATOR ROSE would place a
ban upon football in all public ed
ucational institutions that receive
money from the public treasury,
and we are of the opinion that he
has the right idea; when we con-
slider the brutality of the game as
played in resent years. We had
rather our son would train for the
prize fighters ring than to engage
in the game of football; the dan
ger to life is less, and the individ-
nal has an even chance in the scrim-

FOR some reason the assessors
of Sussex county generally never
give the people public notice of
when the assessment list is hung
up, or when the day for hearing
and place for holding appeals will
be held; unless the slip stuck up in
cut of the way places can be
counted as a notice. The people
are entitled to have public notice
through the newspapers they read
when the assessments are made
and where they may see what val
ues they are charged with and when
the day for hearing appeals will be.
This should be impressed upon
them in their instructions by the
Levy Corut, and strictly enforced.
There has been much objection to
the assessments all over the county.
but the main cause has been that
the assessors have gone ahead in
way that leaves the people without
information. The assessor from
the First District is no better and
no worse than those from other
districts in this matter.

SENATOR CoNNoR has the right
idea about the liquor question, and
if the advocates of prohibition will
work earnestly for the enactment Of
a law that will make high license
operative, tax the distilleriesa as they
should be taxed and make the law
so that the place where a drunken
man purchased his last drink, shall
be responsible for all misdemean-
ors OF the individual while under
the influence of liquor; and, finally
compel the bars to close at nine
O'Clock and not open until six the
next morning. they will be sure of
working a reform in the liquor bus
mess. Prohibition does not pro-
hibit. but high license will make
the holder Of that license be careful
and live up to the law and see that
others do the same. It is by no
means certain that the prohibition
question will carry al the polls, as
the liquor men will fight the vote
with liberal sums of money ana
bring out every Indifferent voter to-
vote with them, but high license,
with restrictions that will restrict,
will go through without a hitch.

SHOESTRING WARDS
 MAY BE ABOLISHED
HUNTSVILLE WILL PROBABLY DO AWAY WITH NEGRO ALDERMEN WHO HAVE ALWAYS HAD SEAT IN COUNCIL.

Huntsville, February s.-vThe fact that Huntsville has for many years past had two negro aldermen representing d popu- lous ward of the city Is not generally known outside of this city and is a sub jeet of comment to visitors. Years ago when the negro population was larger than the white and the number of voters in the two races proportioned about the same, the negroes could have at any time elected their own mayor and full board of aldermen. The negroes, a ma jority of them residing on the outskirts of the city, permitted the formation of shoestring ward extending almost around the entire town and containing three-fourths of the negro population.
 The politics of that ward has been under negro domination for at least 30 years and colored aldermen were in- variably elected. There will probably be a change in the next municipal election. the first in that ward since the adoption of the new Alabama constitution, and the white voters of the city have begun to demand that the shoestrng ward be re- arranged. The negro vote has ceased to be afactor in Alabama politics as we'll as in Huntsville politics and the neces- sity for the peculiar arrangement of the political divisions of Huntsville IS believed to have entirely passed away. It is not even believed that the negro voters have strength enough to elect their candidates if encouragement is made before the approaching election.

LITTLE GIRL BADLY
 BURNED AT CRATE
Daughter of pr. Mccrary at GuIn Was Playing With Dolls too Near
 the Fire.

Guin, February S.-(Special) )-Etma, and Mrs. w. J. McCrary of this city, was very seriously burned at the family residence here. The little one was play ing with her dolls in the room in front of an open fire place, and when she stepped up near the fire her clothing ignited and she was burned badly on the arms and body before her mother, who was near her, could extinguish the flames. Dr. Me Crary was not at home at the time of the accident, being away o-n a professional visit. The little one has suffered intense pain since the accident occurred. It is not thought the burns are fatal, however.
 This vicinity is being visited by the worst spell of weather that has been known here in years. There has been almost a steady downpour of rain, sleet or snow now for the past ten days. The roads are very near impossible and will be quite so If the weather keeps on at the present rate.
 Quite lively time is being had on ac- count of a proposed change in postmas- ters A. w. Anthony, the incumbent, is slated for removal by the department, but the citizens here have taken the mat ter up in Mir. Anthony's behalf, and every effort Is being made to have him retained

TREATIES ARE REPORTED.
Southern Senators at First Objected
 to the Measures.

Washington, February S.-The arbtra- tion treaties pending before the Senate have been favorably reported,
 The treaties are with Great Britain, Portugal France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain and Austria Hungary. They have been before the Senate throughout the entire session. Southern senators op- posed the treaties on the ground that it was believed they would permit the arbi- tration of claims held against southern states by reason of bonds issued after the civil war and Senator Bacon offered two amendments which had been adopted by the Senate to the Olney- -Pauncefote reciprocity treaty with Great Britain. These amendments provided that matters affecting the rights of any state should not be arbitrated, and that every ques- tion to be arbitrated should be first sub mitted to the Senate.
 Several members of the committee de- clared that if the amendments were adopted the treaties would not be ac- cepted by the foreign governments nego- tiating them with the United States. Sen ator Bacon agreed to withdraw the first amendment saying he believed the latter amendment gave to the southern states the protection demanded. Later he pro- posed that the treaties should be amend ed by providing that each claim to be arbitrated shall be made the subject of special treaty" instead of "by special agreement" as originally prescribed This would require the action of the Senate on every claim. In this form the treaties were reported.

WOOD SELLS HIS BUSINESS

Ensley, February s.-(SpeciaL)-Next Tuesday, February 14, a city election will be held in Ensley for the purpose of electing a mayor, board of aldermen. city clerk, city treasurer and tax collector and a chief of police. The election will be devoid of interest with the exception of the aldermanic contest in the Fourth ward between George ByTum and J. T. Culpepper.
 The candidates nominated in the pri- maries last December will be unopposed In the Fourth ward no nomination was made for one of the aldermen. In the first primary as neither Mir. Byrum or MT. Culpepper received a majority. They ran it off in the second primary which resulted in a tie vote.
 To save the expense of another primary the executive committee provided that My Byrum and MT. Culpepper should run it off in the general election.
 On next Thursday night February 16, the new aldermanic board will hold it's first meeting. After the organization the council will take up the election of off cers, there being a city attorney city physician, sanitary inspector, wardens, street superintendent and members of the police force to be elected

FINE FROM BASSO
 MUST BE REFUNDED
COURT OF CLAIMS HOLDS THAT UNITED STATEC HAD NO RIGHT TO ASSESS FINE FOR SNUG. CLING.

Washington, February S.-The United States court of claims has decided the Porto Rican customs case of Narcsso Basso against the United States, holding that the fine of $500 collected from Basso for smuggling goods into Porto Rico was illegally collected and must be refunded.
 In July, 1899. Basso was arraigned, tried and convicted of bringing goods into Porto Rico without payment of duty and fired S1500 and sentenced to one months Imprisonment. The fine was paid under protest and action was begun in the United States court of claims to recover the amount. The court, in effect, holds that the law under which Basso was con vscted was not intended for Porto Rico until May 1, 1900, nearly a year after the offense was alleged to have been committed and hence the Porto Rican court had not at that time any iursdic- tion of the case.

Head Had His Troubles.

Charles Head, the winner of the prize, said that his greatest difficulty was in getting the women ready in time. He had to travel over a wide section Of country in order to find forty-eight pas sengers. All of them were notified by telephone the evening before to be ready somewhere between 10 and Il o'clock the next morning.
 In every instance he had to walt from ten minutes to half an hour at the homes of his exhibits while they put on the fin- ishing touches. That was the worst fea- ture of the job, said MT. Head. Several times when the sled bounded over a rough place of road he would have to go back and kick them out of the snow. Nobody was hurt, however and the ladies en- joyed the fun immensely
