THE ORDER MODIFIED.

The Charleston Mail has the Normal
School situation sized up after the
following fashion:
"1'he order Of the board OF regents,
making the Huntington and Fair.
mont schools the only graduating
normal institutions, has been modi
fed so that all of the schools are re.
stored TO their former equal stand.
ard. II is not likely, however, that
the regents will abandon the plan
to improve the Huntington and Fair.
mont schools, although this will not
be done at the expense Of the others.
"1'he modification Of this order, We
believe, wifi meet with general ap.
pmval throughout the State. The
fact was developed that the normals
have a host Of supporters In spite OF
the charge that they are not doing
the work for which they were Great,
led.

teachers and every facility should be
afforded them In the way OF training"

new senator from Arkansas, Jefferson
Davis, came last week. and the dig
nifty of the senate vas slightly de-
ranged before he got through. although
some of the sallies were irresistibly
funny. Seven long sessions had gone
by, and the giant Arkansan could and
would wait no longer on senatorial
tradition. Tradition be hanged! Re-
marking that he did not propose to re-
main in his seat in silence until his
hair had grown gray and his body bent
with age. he proceeded to tell the SEN
ate, the country and his constituents
what he thought Of the oil trust and a
few other things. He said the trusts
now control everything but acorns and
persimmons. speaking of race suicide.
he said he chad Roosevelt skinned a
block" as he had eight children, while
the president had only five at home.
jeff also said he was always for the
underdog in the fight. Referring to
the newspaper statement that he would
o be feeding from the hands of the
trust magnates. he swore that he would
never "eat from the hands of Man,
mon"
