A Jackson, KY, special says that
Bill Griffin, a negro, shot DR.. Strong,
another negro, and deliberately went
to sleep with the corpse for pillow.
Griffin was beating his wife and DR..
Strong answered her cries for help.
AS he entered the door Griffin shot
him with A. caliber revolver, the
bullet entering his forehead directly
between the eyes. When the Off
GERS reached the scene Griffin was
lying on the floor fast asleep, with
his head resting on the corpse of his
victim.

THE LADY OR The TIGER {?
WHICH SHALL IT BE 7--NOW FOR THE
RETIREMENT OF RURAL SCHOOLS.

Frank Stockton wrote story LADY
or Tiger" This story is often used as a
debate in societies of our female col
1eges. After reading the story the reader
is to decide which shall it be, "Lady OF
Tiger" The story is: That woman OF
royal blood loved a subject of her father
the lover entered the arena in fright
If lady came out the door the royal
woman's lover would marry another; il
the tiger came out her lover would be
eaten up by the tiger. Which came out9
is the question.
Now, we are called ON to decide which
shall come out the open door: Stand
skill, old-fashionei rural schools, or
modern rural schools. The county su-
perintendent of education is the most i'm.
portant factor in the development of our
schools. Shall we, as county, lag be.
hindp Is our county up-to-date2
The ideal county superintendent Of ed
ucatiOn is an educated man-man who is
ambitious-one who attends all State
teachers associations, superintendents'
associations, encourages county teachers
associations; one who gets the mothers
and trustees to oaud together for mutual
improvement to the schools; talks with
the boys about all progress; visits the
rural schools; encourages better houses
and farming, building up the country,
and is man filled with love for teach.
ing. He wants libraries in all the schools,
where parents and pupils can get good
books; he wants flowers planted around
school houses. He can see that "flow-
ers" teaches" boys to be better.
He "always accepts" invitations to
educational meetings when his expenses
are paid. He teaches the children to
love history and honor the deeds of great
men, and keep company with learned
men. He does not speak of noted men
and women of our State, who are labor
ing to build up the educational advant-
ages, as "aristocrats," and does not say,
as heard one superintendent of educa-
tion say, II don't want the teachers to
that is only place for 'aristccrats,' and
no place for n poor teacher"
Richland, Florence, Marion and other
counties have ideal county superintend-
ents of education.
You know which you want! Decide by
your vote. Shall we have the lady or
tigerp Tiger is a poor superintendent
of education; lady is good one. What
shall it be? Decide for your child's in
terest.
The time is at hand for an educational
revival. We do not need money alone
We need more interest in our schools.

EVIDENTLY MISiNFoRMED.

Editor Wissler of the Sun-Telegram,
gives the Democratic State Ticket the
hearty endorsement that BELTS a
Democratic newspaper, but when he
declares his belief that Tom Taggart
had no hand in the selection of the
candidates, he evidently is misinform-
ed Ii is a notorious fact that Tom
Taggart served his ultimatum to the
leaders before the convention which
was to the effect that the only way to
have a harmonious affair waseto make
1t Taggart convention. That it was
harmonious none will deny; that Tag
gartism predominated even Thomas
most bitter opponents are forced to adj
NIT. But this fact does not detract
from the Sun-Telegram's statement
that the ticket is an excellent one
and that the candidates selected are
mot office seekers of long standing"
for before the end of November rolls
around their period of candidacy will
have been ended and will be put into
the oblivion of the past by defeat that
promises to be as pronounced as that
which swallowed up Indiana Democra-
cy two years ago.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
It Undergoes Wonderful Changes
During It's Growth.

It Undergoes Wonderful Changes
During It's Growth.
The wonderful changes which the hui
man brain undergoes from the moment
when it first appears in the embryo un-
til it becomes the perfected laboratory
Of thought characteristic to the ma
tured human being has been commented
upon by several Of the leading writers
on biology. physiology, etc. During
these successive changes, or. rather,
transformations from the lower to the
higher sphere, the human brain not
only takes upon itself the general shape
and form of the brains of various rep
resentatives of the lower classes of ami
mails. but appears to have the same
structural constituents, at least to a
certain degree. Thus it has been found
that the original germ OF the brain as
1t appears in the human embryo has
the exact outlines of serpent's thought
factory. After that the changes which
take place while the brain is assuming
the various shapes which it must un.
dergo before it becomes perfect give 1t
a decided resemblance to the brains of
fishes, birds and mammiferous ami.
mails.
"Hein's Thoughts on the Structure
Of the Human Brain" and Wilson'S
Anatomy Of the Human Body" both
mention these queer transformations
as does also Hugh Miller in his famous
work, Testimony Of the Rocks" Mil.
Ter puts it in this way: 1T has long
been known that the human brain is
built up by n wonderful process, dur
ing which it assumes in succession the
form Of the brain of a serpent. a fish
bird. and lastly, before it assumes the
characteristic human form, it takes mp.
on itself the outline Of a mammiferous
Quadrupeds BRAIN" Hence the remark
made by scientific writers that man is
the sum total of all animals"

THE COOKBOOK.

Sausages should be served with apple
sauce or baked tomatoes. Either
makes them more easily digested.
To bake potatoes quickly boil them
In salted water for ten minutes, then
put in the oven. The boiling water
will heat them through so they cook in
a short time.
One of those escalloped dishes which
are such a boon to the housekeeper
with left overs on her hands is made
In layers of cooked hominy, tomato
sauce and parmesan cheese. Repeat
till the dish Is full, then cover with
buttered cracker crumbs and bake un-
til brown.
A French housewife does not add
flour to her gravy which she prepares
from the savory drippings of roast
meat The jellylike particles that
float in the beef drippings should not
be strained off with the rest of the
sediment. as they are both appetizing
and nutritious.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.

lola. June 90. T. Drennen has left
town, taking with him $500 which he
was to have deposited in the lola State
bank with which to meet some obliga-
tions and has left his wife to face cred
itors holding claims aggregating be-
tween S400 and $500 Drennen and his
wife ran a grocery Yesterday was pay
day and money came in in large
amounts. When they went home at
night Mr. and Mrs. Drennen took with
them $3.50 in paper money and checks
together with a bag containing $50 in
silver.
In the morning Mr.. Drennen got up
early as was his custom and left os-
tensibly to open UP the store. He took
with him the $3.50 in bank notes and
checks, saying he would deposit it at the
bank. He also obtained the bag of cur
rency saying he would need it for
change A little later Drennen's sixteen
year old son went down to the store
and found it had not been opened. He
went home and told his mother Mrs
Drennen reported her husbands disap-
pearance to OFFICER Garrett and at his
suggestion she went to the bank and
there learned that Drennen had not de-
posted the money. 1t is reported that
Drennen was seen to board the Santa
Fe plug going north
The money with which Drennen skip
ped out would have been sufficient to
have settled the bills held against him
by his creditors Mrs. Drennen has a
solution to the problem. She says there
is a woman in the case. More than that
she knows the woman, she says. She is
now watching to see If the woman, who
lives in East lola, also disappears.
