SECRETARY GEO. II. HINES OF
THE OREGON HISTORICAL So
cIETY, LOOKING UP PEOPLE
AND THINGS OF INTEREST.

Secretary Geo. H. Hines, Of the
Oregon Historical Society, Is down
from Portland, on one Of his semi -oc-
casional tours OF this historic old
county. shaking hands with the mem
bers Of the great society here, and dis
cussIng methods and means and pur-
poses incidental to the progress Of the
task they have undertaken for the
good Of posterity.
In the course Of conversation yes
terday morning with reporter OF the
Astorian, Mr.. Hines said, among 9TH
er pleasant and useful things, that
he had lately enjoyed a long talk
with Mr.. Azel H. Fish, OF Islip. New
York, a man devoted to the pursuit of
history, and a lecturer OF pronounced
ability and standing, who is touring
the coast at the present time on a
course OF lectures on historical topics.
and that In the interchange of views
between them, Mr.. Fish, who has been
lecturing upon the basis Of information
supplied from California sources, de-
clared that he would be compelled to
revise the entire text OF his lectures
On coast history. to conform to the
authentic and more comprehensive
data Of the Oregon Society and thus
give to his auditors and students Of
history more reliable expression Of
the great details, as he had gathered
them from the records Of the Oregon
Society, which he Joined In order TO
perfect his search into the realm Of
the past as 1t applied to Oregon. This
is an indication Of the excellence OF
the work done by Mr.. Hines and his
colleagues, and is creditable In the ex-
treme.
During the past few weeks AFR.
Hines has had the pleasure Of enter
tanning az guests at the society head
quarters at Portland, four professors
from the California universities at
Stanford and Berkeley, who have been
delving into the data maintained
there; and he says they were aston
ished and pleased at the volume and
correctness Of the records maintained
by the society.

THE BELLS OF ST. MIcHAEL,s

At St. Miehaels Church in Charleston.
S. c., are now hanging eight bells that
have an interesting history. Their first
use was tolling for the funeral of Mrs
Martha Grimke, September 22d. 1864.
When Charles Town was evacuated In
December, l7S2. Major Tmille OF the
Royal Artillery took the bells and car
cried them off as public property The
next year Sir Guy Carleton ordered them
restored Immediately They had. how
ever, been sold in England to former
Charleston merchant named Ryhiner.
who shipped theih back On their land
ing the overioyed citizens hurried them
to the church and rehung them.
In 1888 two OF the bells were found
to be cracked; they were sent to Eng
land, reoast and returned in August.
1899. In June, 1862, they were sent to
Columbia, s. c., and stored there. When
that city was burned by Sherman. the
bells were burned too In 1866 the frag-
ments were collected and sent to London.

at this time. The berry season is
coming on and it has been the custom
IN the past for many of the farmers to
secure ,colored help in the berry har-
vest 1t is to stop an influx of col
ored berry pickers from the Injected
districts that the attention of the
board is be ng directed now. F."
Dr. Lowber said while this MIGHT
appear TO be a hardship on some Of
the Delaware farmers, it would be a
great risk to allow the negroes to come
over from Maryland, and he expressed
the belief that the farmers could pet
sufficient help without resorting TO the
Maryland supply Negroes appear to
be more numerous in the MARYLAND
counties than in Delaware and for
years they have been coming over in
large numbers to work in this State
during the berry season. Should there
be no restriction now, when smallpox
IS prevalent in some localities Dr
bowber fears, the consequence would
be serious. He feels that it is far
better to take this precaution in ad- b
vance than to allow the disease to get
a foothold here.

MUST PAY SCHOOL TAX
or superintendent spaid win Take LeEa
Action

or Superintendent spaid viii Take Legal
Action.
County Superintendent OF Schools
Arthur II. Spaid threatens to take
legal action against district clerks
who fail Co collect the taxes. On ac-
count Of this neglect, he says, it is
impossible for the commissioners to
keep some of the schools open because
Of the need Of funds.
Superintendent Spaid has secured an
opinion from Attorney General Rich
ards TO the effect that school clerks
can be fined sl00 for failing 20 do their
duty.
Superintendent Spaid in speak ing of
this law said: " will have the opinion
Of Attorney General Richards printed
and copy will then be mailed TO the
commissioners Of every school district
IN the county. They will receive the
opinion before the annual school cleo
tions. Then the commissioners will
be able to understand that hereafter
the clerks must collect the taxes, pay
the teachers and keep the schools
open. In case a clerk fails TO collect
the taxes then the fine of 500 will
help to pay the salary Of the teacher.
The commissioners in charge of the
colored schools are also very negligent
and the taxes are allowed to remain
unpaid. Instead Of collecting the
taxes in the fall when every colored
man is expected to have some money
on hand the collectors allow the col
lection to remain until spring when
the men do not have a dollar. The
colored people are not taking advant-
age of the education offered to them.
1t is evident they are not the proper
parties to have the management of the
schools. At the next session Of the
Legislature there will be bill intro
duced to place the schools under other
management. "
