Good Will Hang Friday.

Peter Good, under sentence of
death at Luray for the murder of
his sweetheart, Fannie Stroop, will
pay the penalty of his life on Fri
day, March 22. On Saturday.
March 8, the Supreme Court of
Appeals refused writ of error.
and now Gov. Swanson has refused
to commute the death sentance.
This was the doomed mans last
hope.
The Governors refusal to COM
mute Goods sentence is given i'm
the following letter, addressed to
Mr.. Charles A. Harmer, of Har-
risonburg, Goods attorney:
After considering carefully the
petition for the Communication of the

The trial Judge and common
wealth : attorney both expressed
themselves strongly that this was
not case for exercise of executive
clemency- The jury passed upon
his guilt and expressed no desire
to change thicr conclusion. The
question of his guilt was a matter
To be determined by the court and

ly should be hanged if the death

Pay Of Public School Teachers.

The reputation of the people of
the United States at home and
abroad is that they esteem educa-
ton highly. But if we may Judge
by the wages paid to teachers,
this reputation is not deserved.
When the annual wage of the
public dugcather in the capital of
the United States is two or three
times as great as that of the aver
aye public school teacher we have
right TO assume that dogcatching
as profession is more highly es-
teemed there than teaching as a
profession. The Educational Re-
view has an article comparing the
earnings of public school teacher
with those of men engaged in
mechanical ond unskilled labor.
In 64 American cities the average
wage Of all school teachers, includ-
ing the superintendent, is $500 a
year, or 95 cents a working dav.
In the same cities bricklayers get
from So TO $3.50 day and hod-
carriers from $2 to 1925.
In Pennsylvania many of the
public school teachers receive l,.,s
than the pensions given to tie
paupers. In every city of the
United States except four, the Ed
ucatlonal Review declares, the
minimum salary paid to street
sweepers exceeds the minimum
salary paid to public school teach
ers. In Chicago the minimum pay
of ir"nmoulders is 5000 year and
the minimum pay of the molders
OF character is $3.50 a year. In
Seattle the ironmolder gets 81 $50
and the teacher $3.50. In Mary
land the Legislature had to impose
a penalty upon the counties i'm the
way of withholding state aid. in
order to raise the minimum salaries
of the teachers to the munificent
sum of $500 a year. One reason
why teachers are so poorly paid is
that most of them are women, and
have no votes and no unions with
which to protect themselves -

FLEET HlAWATHA.
A Cynieal Critics Cold Analysis OF
LonsfeIIoM's Dissertation.

A Cynical Critics Cold Analysis OF
LonsfeIlow's Description.
Determine how fast. asks Professor
Greenhill. Hiawatha can run from the
following data:
Strong OF arm was IIiawatha.
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bowstring
Ere the first % earth had fallen.
Swift OF foot was Hiawatha.
lie could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow feN behind him.
Neclecting the resistance Of the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow I second. the solution
is as follows:
The time Of flight OF the arrows shot
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot, being equal 10 the time mul.
tiplied into half the value OF the con.
slant of gravity. was 144 feet 4 second.
Now, in shooting an arrow from him
Htawatha. 10 obtain the fartheSt flight,
would let fly 1t an angle of forty-five
degrees. and by 4 simple trigonomet
rical calculation we therefore arrive al
the fact that the horizontal velocity Of
the arrow would be rather less than 145
feet second and would in fact be 10c
feet a second. or seventy miles an hour
Hiawatha would therefore have to rul
faster than this Could he do 1t on q
sprint?
Again having recourse TO calculation
we hnd that an arrow shot at IA fee;
a second would fly 216 yards. or near
ly a furlOng. Hiawatha would rur
that distance in about seven seconds
So that he would be able to give the
present holder OF the record some I4s
yards Start.-LondOn Post.

Hearst Must Be ReCkOned With.

The Lynchburg News discusses
William r. Hearst as force to be
reckoned with American politics,
and the News has the matter down
very correctly. 1t has been the
custom to disparage and sneer at
Hearst rs man of erratic purpose
and feeble intellect. relying on his
money to command the use of the
brains ofothers. But this is great
mistake. Petersburg Index-Ap-
peal.
Most decidedly, Hearst has
brain of his own, and he has en-
ergy, determination, and the talent
of leadership. In addition to these
he has a large followingin the United
States. Political parties have got
to reckon with him, whether they
would or not.-Richmond Times
Dispatch.
And just to think that short
While ago the Times-Dispatch
insisted that Hearst was a man of
neither brain nor ability. We are
pleased to note that the Times
Dispatch, along with many other
papers who have so bitterly assail-
ed Hearst, now admit that he is a
man of brain and ability and that
he must be reckoned with. We
knew it all the time, so it is not
news to us.

Mineral Expert Here.

Mr.. ). 5. Barnes, of UniontOwn,
Pa, an expert Inspector and sur
veyor of minerals, has been in
BerryvilIe for several days looking
into the possibilities of this section
As to mineral deposits.
Mr.. Barnes, who represents
some wealthy mineral men of
Pittsburg, stated, in conversation
with the COURIER man. that he
was very much encouraged and
pleased with the evidences of val
liable minerals which he had Oh
served here, and said that heavy
drill would arrive here this week.
with hich he will make borinrs
of several hundred feet in depth.
for the purpose of verifying his
opinions.
The boringS will be made on the
property near the Shenandoah.
now owned by Col. II. u. Chew
and other gentlemen, of Charles
Town, and probably on surround
ing properties.
Mr.. Barnes seemed very enthu-
siastic over the outlook for iron
ore, and insisted that this valley
should, on account of its bearing
strata, also contain coal.
During his investigation of the
land mentioned he came across iso-
lated pieces of very fine mica, and
some good specimens Of other
minerals including manganese.
The big drill which is expected
to reach here this week, will prob
ably be sunk to depth of 500 feet,
and all of the different layers of
stone in that depth will be ex-
amined from the borings of the
drill and an intelligent opinion
formed as to their value and extent.
