The school site controversy is being re-
newed again and will likely be factor in
the school meeting on Tuesday, March
20th
While we do not agree with our neighbor
OF the Constitution that the selection Of a
school site will be factor in the selection
Of school trustees on March 90 because
that is question on which the people can
haye their say in more direct way, we
will welcome any agitation that will bring
about general realization Of the need Of a
school house in place of the poor apology
noW used for one in Green's Block. At
times we are not sure that it would not be
a kindness to pupils to close up those
rooms, and if a private house cannot be Sc
cured turn those 100 children in the street
until place that can be kept clean, light,
sweet and wholesome is secured.
There are three classes of people who end
the selection of school site just holiday
oceupation-the person who has a site to
sell, the person who thinks any place good
enough anu Die pclSoD WIN uOH bStlCHC
in public schools anyway. But the mem
Ders of School Board who take pride in
their business and desire that when the new
school house is built and put into practical
use, those who pay for and use it will APP
prove their labor and time vindicate their
Judgment, the selection of school site
presents different aspect.
A year ago our people changed materially
the personnel of the Board Of Education on
this very issue, and the new members in
the interim have earnestly sought site that
should meet the needs and command gener-
al public approval, but so far as we observe
Woodbury's school needs are as far from
solution now as then. All Of which is
proof that The selection Of school site
is a serious problem. The facts are that
there are numerous sites, but too few Of
them appeal to the Judgment of the con
scientlous school trustees. While this il
true it is more than probable that The
people on special election for that purpose
will select the school site, as most men vii
agree that some other test should be ap
piled to candidates for Board of Education
honors than ability to select school sitl
that will please everybody and in the enc
please nobody.

The empire of the South is calling
for farmers and small merchants.
There is room on our beautiful lands
for many millions who may rear COM
Portable homes amid healthful and
wholesome surroundings. 1t is to the
millions yet to come that the South is
calling, and 1t is certain that il the
opportunities of this country were
only known by the struggling farmers
of the rocky and inhospitable East the
colonization would be even more rap
Id. In the development of the South
the railroads are doing wonderful
things for which they do not expect
any immediate returns. They are
carrying immigrants at cost, and it
will be years before many OF these
immigrants will become shippers
The North is alert to expanding bust
ness opportunities in this empire and
theoretically follows the food of emf
grafton with commercial missionaries
Our local men should do likewise.

the United States Congress with a
flourish Of trumpets and suppressed

appropriate two aud a half millions

CHAPTER XVIII.

IN a moment we were hurrying along
the street In the direction the nota-
ry had pointed out to us. Martigny
was already out of sight, and we
had need Of haste. My head was in a
whirl. So Frances Holiday was not
really the daughter Of the dead million
aire! The thought compelled a COM
plete readjustment Of my point Of
view.
We had reached the beach again. and
We turned along it in the direction Of
the cliffs Far ahead 1 saw a man hur-
rying in the same direction, I could
guess at what agony and danger to
himself. The path began to ascend.
and we painted up 1t to the grassy
down which seemed to stretch for
miles and miles to the northward.

Of a farmhouse.
We ran toward It, through a gate and
up the path to the door. 1t was closed,
but we heard from within a mans ex,
cited voice, a resonant voice which

voice came from the room at the right
1t was no time for hesitation. We
sprang to the door and entered.
Martigny was standing In the middle
OF the floor. fairly foaming at the
mouth. shrieking out commands and
1mprecations Mt two women who cow

He saw their startled eyes turn past
him to us and swung sharply round
For an instant he stood poised like O
serpent about to strike: then 1 saw his
eyes fix in frightful stare, his face
turned livid. and with a strangled cry
he fell back and down. Together We
lifted him to the low window seat, pur
suers and pursued alike, lOosened his
collar. chafed his hands. Lathed his
