The prospect of securing a diploma.
Mr. White added, ne believed would in

Referring 10 the subject, Course Of In

sition To radically change the system

Senator Glover Proposes Amendment
 to State Constitution.
 Jackson, Miss, Jan. 19.-Senator Clover today introduced into the Sem ate of Mississippi a concurrent reso- lution to amend the. constitution by providing that no children shall be ad- mitted to the pubic schools of the State where the parent is liable to poll tax for the current year and the same remains unpaid.
 The effect of this amendment if in serted into the constitution would be to bar nine-tenths of the negro chill dren from the schools unless the ne- groes should pay the poll tax with greater frequency than at present In a word it would accomplish, practical ly, Governor Vardaman's theory of the division of the school fund between the races.
 MT. Clover also proposed to make the school age from eight to eighteen years.

BODY THAT OF DARGAN.
Fully Identified and Reports Set a
 Rest.

Rest.
 Darlington, S. C., Jan. 19.-In the presence of half hundred citizens and representatives of the life insurance company interested, the grave of Rob- ert Keith Dargan was opened this morning. Physicians pronounced the body to be that of the late President of the Independent Oil Company and the Darlington Trust Company, whose sensational suicide by taking carbolic acid July II, 1905, created sensation at the time.
 The body was exhumed by permission of the father of the deceased, who, in letter. said that permission was given to set at rest the scandalous rumors that had consistently been heard to the effect that R. Keith Dargan was not dead, but had pretended suicide and escaped to Europe.
 Dargans death closely followed the failure of the oil company and trust company. both caused by speculations of the President. The body was badly decomposed, but the Identification was said to be complete.
