Men Shy at Teachers

"The reason for these are three
fold. In the first place, men are
afraid of school teachers. Above
all things men hate to be bossed And
they look upon young women who
follow the vocation of school work
as not only bossers, but 'naggers,' In
a measure this is true. By their vo-
cations teachers are imperative
"The so-called master of the house
doesn't want a boss for wife. He
wants baby He doesn't even desire
the refinement and culture which a
school teacher might bring into his
home
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-12-22
Afraid of Mankind

In the second place, the school
maam is afraid of the man. Not
that she fears him as a superior be-
ing. Her estimation is exactly OPP
posite. The school teacher is of an
observing nature, and she is quick to
heed the failure of her professional
sister. She sees about her so many
examples of the failure Of the mar
riage experiment
The pedagogue is a gullible crea-
ture. She is constantly associated in
her work with the immature mind. A
smooth-tongued, sophisticated man
NAV enthral the woman whose asso-
ciates are the fresh, simple, youth
ful-minded school children. And
after the honeymoon comes misery.
IF a school teacher must earn her
own Livelihood after marriage-per-
baps earn as we'll the living Of the
drone who captiyated her-why, rea-
sons the school maam, should she
not be content with single bliss?

ditions Of the present monetary
and commercial disturbance
with the causes and condition of
those Of 1878 and 1893 demonis-
trate with absolute certainty
that we are nearing the end OIL
this depression.
There has been no recent re-
tirement on greenbacks as pro
ceeded 1873, nor demonetization
Of silver, which cut off the sup
ply of money when it was most
needed in that same era.
There has been no drain Of
gold from our land such as pre-
ceeded and followed in 1893, no
cIutching and boarding OF United
States Treasury notes, as in the
three years which followed. Up
on the contary, there are today
IN the United States nearly $l00-
O0O, 900 more in currency than
there we're two months ago, and
with the gold still to arrive from
abroad and the increase in our
bank circulation, which is being
made every day, and additional
800. 600, 900 will be doing duty
within the next sixty days.
Thanks to the promptness Of
the Treasury officials and the
ergency OF our financiers, mer
chants, and bankers the close
OF 1907 will witness as great an
increase of our money volume
in four months as came in three
years after the panics Of 1873
and 1898.
Money is death to the financial
panic, and the remedy is at hand
and being applied.
Europe gives us $75 900, 900 in
gold in thirty days time, and,
after giving us that great sum,
by January 1, 1908 we will have
more gold on hand than Europe
possessed July /, 1907. That
S75. 100000 only represents the
new gold that Africa has pro
duced in six months time, and
Europe has at her command as
an Increase of her July /, stock |
the production Of Australia and
India. Our own gold mines are
producing daily and their pro
duct is nearly three times the
amount it wasi in 1898. We keep |
all our new gold, we reinforce
it with the source of millions |
from abroad, and are ready to- |
back that all up with new bank
circulation to any extent requir-
ed.
The congress that convenes
will quickly respond to the call
of the President and the country.
The Post is willing to go on
record with the prediction that
by next April or May the pros
perity Of the country viii be in
full swing again, sustained by
ample supply Of money and un-
bounded confidence in the future. |

plucked from the nettle Danger

The Race

TT was lucky for us that the guard had met
i an automobile between the brigand's bar
ricade and Jerez, otherwise we should have
been at sea. The road member near Utrera had
seen only one car, and that might have been
the Kings; but now we had something to
hope for still; and Dick and l resolved to get
out of Jerez as soon as possible, provided we
could learn that the car we followed had gone
on. If we fingered, the civil guard might after
all think it his duty to have us detained, and
we did not wish to give him time to change his
mind.
Its pity, though" said Dick, with a
thirsty sigh. Il have always had a sneaking

Today when William D. Jelks re tires from the gubernatorial chair, al ter six years faithful service to the people of his State, aul when a host of other officials and employees of the State of Alabama will retire from the public service. there will be one retirement from public institution which will, perhaps attract little general attention. but which will bring joy and gladness to at least one heart.
 Will Bulger, a negro now in his early thlrties, has served the State as a con vict in many of the prisons and pen itentiaries of Alabama for nearly six teen years past for a murder which there is reason to believe he did not commit. His service, although he was under a life sentence. has aiwavs beer entirely satisfactory. and his prison record Is as clear as the GHY Tn the latter Lart If March. 1891 that he was first received by the convict depart ment. He has been a "trustY" for many years. and has never abused the liberty that was given him.

 The public printer is working out the details of an elaborate cost keeping system. which he Is about to install Tn the Government Printing Office, and the Mint Bureau has put new system in at the various hints. Attention IS called to the methods of appropriations for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which are made under three heads and for the Government Printing Office where a lump sum is given.
 The report expresses the opinion that appropriations made specifically for each of the main heads would be of material advantage over the present system m which case the bookkeeping would harmonize with the cost keeping sys- tenn.
