GRADED SCHOOL.

Columbia ought to have a graded
public school. 1t would revive interest
n the growth and value of Columbiai
more than any other one thing that is
within the reach of her people. There
is scarcely a town in the state as large
as this but what has a graded public
school. A school of this kind would be
of great value to the town and dsswould
not cripple either one of the High
Schools. This is proposition that will
bear the closest investigation and we
trust that it may, in the near future,
come to the front.

no additions have been made to the
church, but all who have attended have
been benefited and revived.

JUDGE PEAKS DECISION.
MiscOnstrued by Newspapers and
the Public Generally.

The newspapers throughout Ken
lucky have had big head lines the last
few days in which it is made to appear
that Judge Peak had, at New Castle,
declared the County Unit Law uncon-
stitutional. In this they are all mis-
taken. The validity of the law was not
a question and the decision was as to
t& rights of ]. T. Scott, the plaintiff,
who had applied for license to sell
liquor in New Castle, VS.. the trustees
of that town. The question was one of
law as to whether or not they had a
right under the circumstances to refuse
Scott license. The question involved

SHEARING IN PROGRESS.
Warehouse Is Put in Shape to Receive
Wool,

Shearing is now in progress in va:-
ious parts of the county, and within
a few days the wool will begin to ar.
rive at the warehouse, which has been
placed in readiness to receive it. Bal.
ing will not begin, of course, until
considerably later, when enough wool
has accumulated to keep the crew
steadily employed.
The recently long spell of cold, rainy
weather did some damage to the
fiocks, but the losses of lambs were
really smaller than might have beel
expected. The fockmasters, without
exception, have been most successful
with lambing, and Benjamin Melon
aid, of Garneill, is one who has brok.
en- his past record. He has more
lambs by count than he has ewes, this
result being due to the number of
twin lambs born, and in two cases,
ewes had triplets. But in addition to
this, Mr.. Mcdonald had good, dry
sheds, and employed skillful men who
gave the bands the best of care and
attention, which counted for more than
anything else.

FROM FIRE
PLAN OF CHIEF BEBB MEETS
WITH APPROVAL OF
ALDERMEN.

For several months past Fire Chief
John G. Bebb has been urging upon
the city council the necessity of pro-
viding the fire department with a
team of horses to haul the hose cart
to fires, pointing out that it requires
much time for men to drag the cart
to certain parts of the city, while the
exertion takes all the life out of them.
He has also impressed the mayor and
aldermen with the Importance of MAX
ing quick runs, everything depending
upon the speed with which the water
is put on the flames in many instances
Chief Bebb's Plan.
Mr.. Bebb's plan, in brief, is to have
trained team of horses, with the pat
ent harness, and to employ one man,
who is to be at the hall all the time.
With this accomplished he would put
several cots in the hall, and arrange
it so that several members of the vol
unteer department would sleep there
taking turns. This would provide the de
partment with an ample force to man
the apparatus at all times, and would
greatly reduce the risk from fire. The
council is apparently in favor of such a
plan, and it has been referred to the
committee on fire department. 1t is ex
pected that this committee will very
soon put in report covering the whole
matter, and that the plan, with posi-
BILE notifications, but practically as
outlined by the chief, will be carried
out without delay.
