DECISION AGAINST S. C.
Opinion of United states supreme
Court in Case Against the Atlantic
Coast Line.

Washington. January 15.-ln an
opinion by Justice White, the supreme
court of the United States today al
firmed the decision of he United
States circuit court for the district or
South Carolina in the case OF the
case of the state of South Carolina VS.
the Atlantic Coast Line. The case
was an appeal by the state from a
decision of the circuit court holding
the Cheraw and Darlington railroad
company, now owned by the Atlantic
Coast Line, to be exempt from state
taxation under it's charter. The suit
was instituted by the railroad COM
pany to secure an injunction against
the state authorities and the authori-
tieskof Chesterfield, Darlington and
Florence counties, prohibiting them
from taking steps looking to the col
lection of back taxes in those oun
ties for the past fifteen years. The
decision was against the state on the
ground that the charter was in the
nature of a contract.

NAUTRE Study OUTLINE
(By Mrs. F. l.. Stevens.)

The study of weather in elementary
schools has the advantage of having
material supplied, without effort or
expense, and at the same time lays
the foundation for geography work a
little later. In order to carry ou. this
work It is necessary that the pupils
make daily observations for themselves
and thai these be recorded neatly in
some systematic n SO that sum-
maries may be readily made and cor
rect differences drawn. Suggestions
for keeping a daily weather record
have been outlined in Teachers Bulle-
tin Ill
In what direction from the school
building does the sun rise above the
horizon at this season of the year.
Where On the horizon does it set? How
does this compare with the September
position? Observe accurately the two
points on the horizon where the sun
rises and sets. Fix these points With
respect to the observer by means of a
tree, post or some permanent mark
and keep it in mind for future obser-
vatiOn.
A shadow stick will be found exceed
ingly helpful in recording the changes
in the suns position with respect to
the earth. Procure a strip of board
two inches wide and two feet long. To
one enc nail a strip of the same width
and six inches long at right angles to
the board. Place the shorter board in
upright position so that its shadow
may be cast upon the longer board.
At noon each clear day measure the
length of the shadow cast by the up
right piece upon the long strip keep
ing the whole in a north and south
position. Does the shadow change
from day to day? What causes this
change in the shadow. Is it growing
longer or shorter?
How does the position of the sun
at noon compare with the September
position? Is the sun higher up in the
skies or nearer the horizon at this
season?
If you were to draw lines across the
sky, marking the apparent path of the
sun each day since September what
| would be the relation of these lines
to each other?
How does this shortening of suns
path in the sky affect day and night?
At what season of the year are the
days shortest? At what season are
| they longest? What is the location OF
the suns path when the days are
longer than the nights? When are
the days and nights equal?
The time of the year when the sun
is lowest in the sky is called the win
ter solstice. The time Of the year
when the sun is highest in the sky
| is called the summer solstice.
What time during the day are the
| suns rays hottest? What is the cool
est part of the day, morning or even
ing? Why? What is the warlnesl
| part of the day? Why? Why is 1t
| not warmest when the sun is directly
overhead or at noon?
Every school should be provided
with a good thermometer and an m
| teresting study may be made of the
| variation in temperature from hour to
| hour during the day Compare tenn
| perature of various localities by refer
| ence 20 weather maps. Directions for
| obtaining the daily weather maps are
| given in Teachers Bulletin V. Give
| two reasons why the weather grows
| warmer from March to June and cold
| er from August to December.

men, are in jail here on two serious
charges They are charged first with
breaking into the store of S. T. Nor
ton, merchant in this county.
The other chage was brought by
James Turner, whose 14-year-old
daughter, Lottie, the men are accused
of enticing away for immoral pur-
poses. The most unusual feature of
the case is that the whereabouts of
the girl has been unknown to her rel
atives since she disappeared, and thus
far they have been unable to find her.
The efforts to locate her will be con-
tinued.
Collins was arrested in Lewisburg
