Board of Public instruction
Must Negotiate Loan of
Several Thousand.
MEETING OF THE BOARD HELD
YESTERDAY, WHEN PAY ROLL
FOR PAST MONTH WAS SUB.
MiTTED-TEAcHERs ASK FOR
PAY DURING PERIOD SCHOOLS
WERE CLOSED ON ACCOUNT OF
STORM.

The regular monthly meeting of the
| County Board of Public Instruction
was held yesterday, Chairman Clubbs
presiding and Messrs. Blount and
Agerton being present.
The first business to come before
the meeting was the report of the
treasurer, which showed an overdraft
of $1,063.09. This was followed by
the pay roll of the superintendent for
salaries of teachers and other ex
penses, making a total of S7,319.6 so for
the past month. 1t was approved and
ordered paid when funds are in hand

count of the hurricane was received
IL was the sense of the board that
1t was not responsible for the series
OF teachers during this period. The
schools had been ordered to open or
a certain date, but owing to the fact
many OF the buildings were in an un
Mt condition as a result of this storm,
the commencement of the term was
! postponed for one week. Under these
conditions the board declined to grant
the request and appointed Judge
Blount committee or one to reply to
| the teachers.
The board has determined that the
teachers will lose no time on account
or the delay in opening, for while
the schools did not commence until
one week later than announced, they
Will be continued just one week longer
than if the commencement had oc
Cured upon the date first announced.
No Money in Treasury.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
board was compelled to negotiate a
loan of several thousand dollars last
month to pay the salaries of the teach
erS. there is no money in the treas
ury to meet the pay roll for Novem-
| Der, the tax collections being but a
very small amount. Consequently it
will be necessary to borrow more
money with which to meet the pay
rolls, not only for November, but also
for December, as there is little pros
pect of a sufficient amount being col
lected and placed to the credit Of the
board to meet the pay roll. Mr.. Ager-
ton was appointed committee to ne
gotiate for a loan of some $4,000
which, it is anticipated, will carry the
board through until the collections
from taxes are sufficient.
In this connection it was shown
that the city, with its system of tax
collections had received over $4,000
and that the amount placed to the
credit of the school board from coun-
ty collections was less than $500.
Christmas Holidays.
The board decided to have the
schools close for the Christmas holt
days on Friday, December 81, and re-
manned closed until Wednesday, jan
uary 2. thus giving the pupils and
teachers a lengthy holiday.
Geo. w. Milstead was appointed
supervisor of school No. Is at Mill

CONGREGATION
WAS LARGE
AT THE REVIVAL SERVICES AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH LAST
NIGHT.

The largest congregation to gather
at the First Baptist church since the
commencement Of the revival services
listened to the sermon last night of
Rev. DR.. Hamilton, and throughout
the powerful effort of that prominent
evangelist much interest was shown.
Rev. DR.. Hamilton had as his text:
Which is to Them a Token of Perdi-
tion," and he handled his subject in
a most mastery manner.
Splendid music was rendered by
the choir, led by Rev. DR.. Wakefield,
and the chorus which is being organ
lied by him is growing larger each
night.
At East End Church.
Rev. W. d. Wakeneld. who is so
delighting the congregations at the
revival at the First Baptist church,
will sing at the new East End Baptist
church Sunday morning and will
preach at IL a. m. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to all to attend.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
it will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress, or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the
cook! The disease dyspepsia indi-
Gates a bad stomach, that is weak
stomach, rather than bad cook, and
for a weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
gives the stomach vigor and tone,
cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes eating the pleasure it should
be.

COOL WEATHER
CAUSED
FIRES
Fire Department Had Three
Calls to Burning Build
ings Last Night.

The cool weather of yesterday and
last night had the usual effect of call
ing out the fire department to ex.
tinguish blazes, but in two of the four
instances where the services of fire,
men needed, the buildings were not
occupied as residences.
The first call for the firemen of the
day was to the home OF Geo. T. Nor
gan on East Gadsden street, where
the chimney was being burned out,
and some one turned in the fire alarm.
The second alarm was last night
about z o'clock when the department
responded to an alarm and extinguish-
ed blaze which had started in the
warehouse on Tarragona street Of the
Lewis Bear Co. Hay and cottonseed
meal sacks were burning and it re-
quired considerable work to extinguish
the flames.
While the firemen were at that
point an alarm summoned two of the
trucks to box No. Is, at the corner
of Baylen and Zarragossa streets,
where a roof was ablaze, but was ex-
tinguished before the men arrived.
Shortly before midnight the worst
blaze of the day occurred. 1t was the
store of C. NJ Wilson, corner of Bar
celona and Gregory streets, known as
the Gonzalez store, and but for the
fine work of the firemen other build
ings would have caught. The flames
seemed to burst out of a number of
points, being confined to the roof,
and for a short time it seemed that
the residence of Mrs. Coulson, ad-
joining would, ignite, but this was
prevented
The entire roof of the store was
burned, and the stock of goods great
ly damaged by water.

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany,
European authority on skin diseases,
says that dandruff is as contagious as
any other malevolent disease, and that
one common source of the spread of
dandruff is the use of the same hair
brush by different persons. The way
to avoid catching dandruff or any other
disease from another's brush, is to
insist on the use of Newbros Herpi-
eide. 1t not only kills the dandruff
germ, but it is also an antiseptic that
will prevent the catching of any dis
ease whatever through contagion of
