THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH
AND STATE MAY CAUSE
UNTOLD TROUBLE.

Paris. Dec. 1.-The law for the
separation OF church and state be-
comes effective today. As tho Pope
has forbidden Catholics to conform
to tho law allowing religious socie-
ties TO bo formed to tako over church
property means that ownership pas
sea to tho states.
The churches throughout Francee
stand on n verge OF eviction. seri-
ous times are anticipated IL tho gov
ernment moves to evict the priests
from the churches. schools and mon
asteries. Troops will probably be re-
quired TO enforce tho law.
The cabinet today is quoted an
saying to proceed Immediately to
liquidato tho property I'm churches
and rectories. This shows tho gov
ornment is determined to uphold the
law vigorously.
In the next few days IL is feared
may SEQ religious outbreak with
bloodshed. as tho Catholics seem do
termined to resist the law.

THE OLDEST CITY
IN AMERICA

DR.. Alexander Craig, of Tucos, Ari-
zona. alleges that that city is older
than st. Augustine, Florida, by thir-
teen years. He says:
There can be no doubt that Tue
son enjoys the distinction OF being
the oldest city in the United States.
When that intrepid Spaniard Melen-
dez discovered the coast OF Florida,
planted the standard OF OF his count
ry and founded the city or st. Angus
tine, In the year OF our Lord 1866.
Tucson was a struggling and grow
Ing pueblo and had been for thirteen
years This is not according TO our
text books on geography. but Il Ia
just as much fact for all OF that,
and the proof OF 1t may be found in n
stained and timeworn document OF
vellum, signed by their Catholic Ma
jestics Ferdinand and Isabella, and
countersigned by the Viceroy OF Mex
leo and General Coronado. who I'm
the early part OF 1862 raised the flag
of Spain over the little Indian village
.ofTuscon and laid the cornerstone OF
the first mission with his own hands.
This important paper was lost TO the
public until about twelve years ago
when It was discovered by a mere ac-
cident, among the archives of the an
cient Church OF San Xavier, nine
miles south OF Tucson. Az n matter
of precaution Il was forwarded TO the
library OF Washington, ID. c., where
1t now lies. This discovery gives the
residents OF Tucson the right to claim
that their city is tho oldest In the
United States. LOS Angeles Times.

tended from Seneca to Walhalla, thereby
affording to our town the same benefits
already accorded to other places along

county seat, and as it is matter of only
twenty minutes run, it does seem that we
should be favored in this respect. If for
no other considerations. the summer
travel demands it. Let every man, who

TEACHERS FOR THE GRADED SCHOOLS.

The trustees of Walhalla School Dis
trict, No. 28, advertise this week for ap-
plicatiOns from teachers for tue Graded
Schools of Walhalla-one Superintendent
and four teachers for tie Walhalla
school, one teacher for the Millvilic
school and one for tho colored school.
The trustees stato that none but first
grade teachers need apply. Applications
will be received until Thursday, April
26th.
The school has doGe excellent work
during the past terms, and the teachers
have been faithful and painstaking 1t
is to be hoped that the election of teach
ers for the coming term will result in
bringing together faculty of equal
ability.
Thus early in the season, before the
teachers are elected or known, we urge
upon our people the importance of stand
ing squarely for tho best interests of the
school, and to try to hold up the hands
of those in authority. Wranglng and
quibblng are always detrimental to a
school, and any complaint should go to
the seat of authority-the Board of Trus-
&ees-and not be handed around promis-
cuously, where each report or complaint
grows as it travels. Let every citizen
bear in mind that when he Injuries the
schools he Injuries himself and his chill
dren.

1t is claimed by some that the election

claimed that G.. II. ID. Burns was "un-

ply with the terms of the salary bill of
Che recent General Assembly. South
Carolina once had number of "consti-
Gutional" laws; she has yet for that mat
tor, but they are the ones that have not
been tampered with by bunglers. The
school law has been "monkeyed" with,
and is in worse fix than the one Clerk
Burns had knocked into cooked hat.
