GO0D ADDRESSES
MADE BY ms TRlIe 0R

Hail the Power Of Jesus, Name
followed by Lead Kindly Light
At the Conclusion of the last song
Supt. Ogden announced that me
stead Of there being six absentees m
the forenoon there was but one, as
the remaining five had rot been
given their number. This IS surely
good record.
State Supt. Thes. C. Miller was
introduced and talked on the de-
velopment on educational lines. The
speaker congratulated the institute
on the pleasantuess of the room and
its beautiful decorations and also
the good order that prevails here
all of which he found much better
than in any other institute he has
visited this year.
On the advancement OF education
he said that our educational adj
vancement is not keeping pace with
our material development. He said
we need more money for school pur-
poses; ned more money for teachers
etc. He hoped the general school
fund for next year would be a mil
lion dollars out side of the irreduci-
BILE school fund. He then spoke at
length of the proposed revision of
the school law and commission ap.
pointed for that purpose and said
he believed that they would do
much toward the upbuiIding of edu-
cation and that he hoped they would
make the county the minimum of
taxation-that such as Clarksburg
Huntington, etc, should assist. in
supporting the schools of the county
and that the minimum term for
1906 and 1907 would be six months
and 1908 and 1909 seven and eight
months, and hoped that consolida.
ton should be made for the trans
portation of pupils and said he be-
lieved that the centralized consoli-
dated schools would soon be estab-
ished, as we would not stay long
behind our neighbors.
Before the close of his remarks
Supt. Miller paid high tribute to
County Supt Ogden, declaring him
one of the very best in the State
one of five of the States best super
intendents.

WARRANT DISMISSED

Tuesday night in Squire Harry
Gordon's SQUIRT Seymour McClung
was tried on a warrant sworn out
by William Bell charging him with
felonious assault. Bell is the color
ed man who was struck on the head
with hammer some time ago while
working on the new school house in

Bell was the one that started the
trouble. After hearing part of the
evidence the attorney for Bell asked
that the warrant be dismissed as it
could not have been felony, as the
Indictment charged.
