Of the capture Of the negroes in the
railroad camp in the following
language:
1--WE started from town at 1O:30
Sunday night and had no exciting in

three miles from the scene Of the
trouble and pitched camp. Here we
despatched Sid Anderson and Mr..
Taylor as runners to wake up Geo.
Fisher, Geo. Reilly and other noted
characters in the vicinity. We found
however, that these gentlemen knew
nothing about the trouble and then
we decided not to move on the enc

10 grow light, the body moved for

rounded the camp. The negroes were
scattred about the camp, getting ready
to go to work, and they began to run
in all directions. BY the time it wa'
broad daylight, we had a bunch o.
forty-one rounded up and not mor'
than three OF four escaped"

TALKS SCHOOL CONDITIONS
BUILDINGS ARE CROWDED


Il have heard much criticism in
regard to the conduct of the schools
and there is no doubt some cause for
it, but we are in the midst of term
and unless those inclined to criticism
can show us real betterment for pres
ent conditions, it will be best for
them to cease criticism and help sup
port the schools until such time as
they might possible be benefited by
changes. We have about half Of the
school term remaining and it is my
purpose to support rather than to em-
barrass the schools, even though
might find some particular points un-

DR.. Chas. P. Brown, who was elect
ed a member Of the school board at
the recent election, has been visiting
the teachers meetings and devoting
considerable attention to the cOndi-
ton Of the schools. nIt is my in
tention," said he, TO study the needs
Of the schools by personal observa-
ton, in order that I may be able to
Mct irtelligently upon the PROPOSE
tons that comc before me as a mem
Der of the BOARD"
When asked as to the results Of his
observations, DR.. Brown said: Il
have attended several conferences of
the teachers and superintendent at the
library and / find, in the main, thar
the teachers are ready with informa-
ton and most of them are much in
earnest. In a few instances, there is
q little tagging in enthusiasm.
zone Of the most important facts
that / learned is that the scurth anil
eighth grades will be too full for
good work after the mid-winter pro-
motions. II appears to me that the
North building is in better condition
than the Others. The enrolment in
the various rooms runs from "A to
80 pupils as a rule, in one room at
least II runs to so. After the pro-
motions the eighth grade viii have
rs pupils and the fourth grade about
20. Many of the children in the FRS
co and Henderson additions have been
working in the cotton feds during the
fall and the prospects are for an IN
creased enrolment from these dis
tricts, which will tax the North and
South buildings TO their utmost ca
pscity, in fact, they are already over
taxed for that matter. Considering
these things and the constant demand
for more houses In the city, the in
dications are for much heavier en-.
rollment next season, If the town con.
einues to grow az the present OF
past ratio.
"It is conceded that our present
high school quarters are utterly in
adequate. One Of the recitation room
Is always cold in severe weather, ans
two or more classes must recite il
the auditorium at the same time
which is semoralizing in its effect
In my opinion we must furnish diff
erent quarters next year.

nlrls Have More LIberty.

One idea in the mind Of girls OF to-
day is that parents should not inter,
fere with their goings and comings.
Why It has come about is somewhat
of a question, for there is really no
less obligation on the part of parents
to know q daughters associates and
the places she goes than there was on
mothers concerning themselves a gen
Grafton ago. A perfectly natural TACT
is that normal young people crave
amusement, and If this is not provided
at home it will assuredly be sought
elsewhere. This is true of the girl
who has nothing to do as we'll as for
her friend who has TO work all day,
and both will turn to recreation away
from home if none is to be found
there.-Chicago Daily News.

"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcoms to use this testimonial as
you see fit
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape.Nuts food, is that il
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach

contains the elements required fol
