The rearing of the horses caused the young men to drop their shot guns and use their pistols McNeill had two pistols and one of these was jolted out of his pocket. the negro Ed Glover, getting 1t before he made his escape Old man Prlmus Glover empted his pistol at young McNeill, but did not hit him.
 Mother at His Side.
 Word of the shooting and the wcunding of Fred Hollis reached Consul and Thomaston in a short while. The dying man was carried into a negro's house about two hundred yards from the scene of the shooting and Dr. Frazier was sent for. Upon his arrival 1t was seen that medical skill would be unavailns. Mrs. Hollis, mother of the young man, reached his side about twenty minutes be. fore the end came and the scene as the mother bent over her only boy, making agonizng appeals for him to speak to her, was hearterenderingly sad.
 Sheriff on the Scene.
 Sheriff Grant of Marengo county was In Consul at the time of the shooting, having come to look for q negro woman charged with killing her husband. He went immediately to the scene and found Primus Glover sitting on the steps of his house. He put him under arrest and deputizing F. c. Coates to assist him left immediately with the prisoner for Union town, knowing that when the first sharp grief over the death of the young man was spent the anger of his friends would be turned to vengeance.
 The negro was carried to the home of Mir Val Taylor at Ellawhite cotton mills, where it was intended to keep him until the passenger train came along en route to Selma. Word of the presence of the negro at Ellawhite soon spread over Uniontown, where Young Hollis was we'll known, and a mob was forming to take the negro away from the officers when MT Coates took the negro to Tayloe's station. a distance of five miles. At Fay loes the train was taken for Selma. At the depot here some twenty or thirty citizens gathered, but when 1t was known that the negro was not the one that did the shooting no demonstration was made.
 Search for Negro.
 That the end of the affair has not come is the information received in Selma to- day. Last nightLt crowd of whites wis., ited the home ase the father-in-law of Glover and wee rope around his neck endeaVored to ,d information as to the whereabouts of young Hollis slayer. IL was ascertained later that the father-in- law of Glover had aided in the latter's escape and that he had ridden away on a mule belonging to negro friend It is not impossible that another visit will be paid to these negroes teddy.
 Dogs were put on Glovers trail a few hours after his departure and he was tracked quite a distance, where it Is thought he rode off on q mule. All day yesterday posses were out looking for the negro and all night they continued the search. Glover Is armed with his own pistol and the pistol dropped by young McNeill and will not be taken without a struggle, as he knows the fate in store for him.

Special pains and much space have
been devoted by the newspapers to
the teachers institute this week,

haustive. In appreciation of this
as, we'll as to aid the teachers, it is
hoped the institute may find 1t con-
venient to change the order of bust
ness tomorrow so as to adopt the
resolutions in time for publication
in the afternoon issue of the papers.
The resolu tions are partly for the
purpose of directing the teachers ir
their actions and every one of them
should have copy of them They
can and will have such copy, If the
institute enables the newspapers to
publish them before the teachers
dispense and leave the city for their
homes. Such change in the program
will oblige the newspapers ard pro
vide the teachers with an opportun-
fly to obtain copy of the resolu-
tions. -

support of the resolution and stated
that all teachers should sound each
aspiring candidate of the dominant
parties and if found that they do not
favor proper school legislation to
cat him out and tell him he can not
go to Charleston this term. He al
so made reference to the new teach
ers contract drawn up for the pur-
pose of preventing teachers from
taking undue advantage of trustees.
This contract is. unlike the old, just
as binding on the part of the teach
er as the trustee and teacher fall
ing to comply with all the require
ments forfeits the value of one
month of school and must before he
can contract for a school testify that
he has not agreed to teach any other
school. This clause was placed in
the contract to prevent teachers from
contracting for two schools and fail
to finish both. The contract also

Whereas, as, the increase of teach

That Sec. Root and Earl
Gray Of Canada
May Strajghten Out All Our
Existing Controversies.
Thought That Meeting at Ottawa
May Bring That Result.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Associated
Press learns that the exchange Of GER
tain definite proposals between the
United States and Great Britain for the
purpose of clearing up the outstanding
differences between the United States
and Canada have reached rather
advanced stage, so that Well-lnformeh
circles not only hope, but believe that
the approaching meeting between Sec
Root and Earl Grey, governor general
of Canada, at Ottawa, viii result in
reaching some if not al of tho long
pending controversies.
Although the visit is officially de-
scribed as private, no secret is made
in governmental quarters that it is 4
real political move as the visit follows
the exchanges which have been going
on between Washington. London and
Ottawa, in which Sec. Root first fOrrlu-
lated Il detailed plan of adjustment.
which upon its receipt here, was for
warded To Ottawa, the lHtteI's reply
having only recently been received.
A high colonial official said 10 The
Associated Press today:
I'VE know now that both siIes de-
sire to clear the slate IT, use Mr.. Root $
own phrase in one Of his communica-
tons and we have reason to believe
tina this will at least be partially ac-
ccmplished before the assembling Of
the Colonial conference in April Mr..
Roots plan for settling the questions
between the United States and Great
Britain was brought to England by Sir
Mortimer Durand last May, since
l11e Inst 10,
towards a final adjustment.
after Mr.. Roots plan had been re-
ferred by the foreign office to the COL
onial Office. the whole question was
submitted to Canada, as it was felt
that the latter must indicate the lines
of acceptance or dissent. The imperial
government would certainly suggest
but not seek to lay down the law to the
Lahrier government, which WAS con-
sidered to be best able to judge. In due
course Canadas reply WIS received,
disclosing n real desire to reach an
agreement as wished for by See. Root
but Canada wants not so much none
tary compensation for waving any in
tcrest. as Il national quid pro quo for
anything she may have to give IN.
"Ehc questions to he settled include
pelaBic sealing, the lake fisheries. the
Canadian sea fisheries. the diversion of
waterpower from the St. Lawrence and
the diversion from the boundary rivers.
1T is pointed out that these and 9TH
err questions are not of first class i'm
portancc, but they may become so at
any moment and reasonable prudence
requires their adjustment. The matters
to he discussed also include a number
OF individual claims which the cxncu-
tive branch approves but which Con-
gress left unpaid. Regarding the most
important question. the one relative to
pelagic sealing, the proposal of the
United states to an arrangement by
which Canada shall have a share in
