The spirit OF purely Chinese art IN

for the tombs OF the present dynasty.

The same admiration for the employ.

In the case or the bridges over the riv.

In almost all cases where the build.

weight OF the blocks employed has
placed strain upon the supports which
the architects skill was not competen,

OF time the melancholy spectacle Is
seen OF slabs fallen from their places

In malaria, for it exerts true curative
influence on the disease, driving it en-

the Board of Examiners will pre-
pare the question, (the same ques-
ton being used for all applicants
both white and colored) and the
examinations will be held at the
same time all over the state and
will be conducted by the county
superintendent and assistants, who
will forward Immediately the
papers to the Board of Examiners
to be graded. This Board will ex-
anime them by subjects SO that
each applicants papers will be
graded in part by each of the five
members. In order that they may
be graded absolutely upon their
merits, each applicant will sign his
papers by number and his name
land number will be filed under
seal with the county superintend-
ent and kept by him until after
the papers have been graded by
the Board and the successful num-
bers announced to him. In this
way there will be absolutely no
chance for partiality and the grad
ing must be uniform. Each county
superintendent will be required to
hle report of the applicants gem
eral character and professional
ability and the Board will be guided
by this report in issuing the higher
grades of certificates.
All teachers whose certificates
have expired or will expire with
this year will be required to take
the examination which will be held
on the LIST, 2nd and Bird of March,
further notice of which will be
given by the division superintend-
ents. The same exemption which
has heretofore applied to those
who attend one of the State Sum-
mer Normal Schools for the full
term of four weeks will still obtain.
and those who notify the Board of
their intention TO attend one of the
Normals will be excused.
\ Special Reading Course is be-
ing arranged so that those teachers
who obtain certificates higher than
Third Grade may have them ex-
tended by giving proof of success
full work.
Provision is also made for issuing
certificates of varying grades to
graduates of our Normal schools
and of High Schools whose stand
ard Is approved by the Board of
Examiners.
1t is hoped that the Board of
Examiners, although the task of
grading nearly 1000 sets of papers
will be very arduous one, will be
able to complete this work by the
first of June so that teachers will
receive their certificates in ample
time for them to contract for their
schools early in the summer and
thus avoid a great deal of the
annoyance which has occurred in
the past.
1t will also enable school boards
to supply their schools earlier
which is very desirable.
All inquiries about the examina-
tons should be addressed to the
Examiner for the Circuit in which
the applicant resides.

panies.
We want TO place this matter
before our Delegate and Senator
and to that end urge every holder
a fire insurance policy, in any com
pany to write either to the COURIER
or to your Senator and Delegate,
urging immediate action.
If the letters are sent to us we
will gladly publish them, forward
ing the original to Senator Fulton
at Richmond.
Here is an illustration of the
methods of the Southeastern Tariff
Association, which CONTROLS every
company doing business in this
section of Virginia $50 far as we
con ascertain except the Loudoun
Mutual Company, of Waterford,
Va:
The owner of the COURIER car
ries apolicy of 81, 800 in one of the
companies controlled by the South
eastern Tariff Association; the rate
last year on that 81, 500 policy was
S22. so; this year the rate has been
jumped to $50, which is exactly :
per cent interest on S1.50O.
At the same time the owner car
rieS a policy of $4,000 in the
Loudoun Mutual Company. Last
year the rate was SIS. This year
the rate remains at SIS.
In other words, it costs $50 to
carry 81 500 policy in any com
pany in the Southeastern Tariff
Association, while a company not
in that Association issues a policy
for $4,000 at SIS, a difference of
$500 increase in policy value and a
decrease of S12 in cost.
OF all the reforms which are
needed, none should receive quicker
attention than this robbery in fire
insurance rates.
This article is not intended in
any way as an advertisement of
the Loudoun Company, but is
merely to show what the South
eastern Tariff Association is taking
from the people of Virginia with
out adequate return.
The owner of the COURIER is be-
ing robbed of the difference be-
tween the rate of the Loudoun
Company and the rate of the com
panies in the Southern Tariff As
sociation. YOU are being robbed,
also.
Even the local agents of the
companies claim that the rates are
exhorbitant, and one agent ex-
pressed wish to this editor last
Thursday that the Legislature
would do something to relieve the
policyhOlders from these charges.
Send your complaints to the
COURIER. Tell US what you paid
last year, and what YOU pay this
year. We will publish the letters,
and then forward the originals TO
Senator Fulton. Perhaps he can
do something TO help us.

There is only one way to cure deaf

Unprecedented Wet Season
Unfavorable For Farmers.

1t is generally conceded that the
months of August and September of
this year have never been equaled
for rains. Rain fell in torrents part
of the time and nearly every day
showers fell. This was hard on the
farmers in many ways. aud it has
been said that farmers were never
so far behind in their work as at
this time. But little ground was
fallowed because it was too wet, the
worms were eating the tobacco.
grass and weeds were taking every
field of corn, the hay crop has been
ruined to considerable extent, and
nearly everybody is behind time cut
ting corn.
