PRELIMINARY HEARING OF
 TEACHERS AGAIN PASSED


 The preliminary trials of twelve ne- gro men and women who were arrest ed few weeks ago for the alleged using of teachers examination ques- tions and answers before oficially dis tribtued were called yesterday at noon by Justices of the Peace Michael Screws and were again continued for week on the motion of Assistant At torney General Martin.
 The common belief is that the grand jury now in session is making an in- vestigation of the alleged misdemaan- orsor wiu do so and that those pris- oners capable of getting ball have made bond. thus probably dispensing with the need of preliminary examina- tion. The bonds were dxed at $500.
 The State Department of Education is hard at work trying to ferret out the principals in the leakage of ques- tions, the most widespread that is re- ported in. the history of the teachers license system, It Is the desire of the State authorities to not disclose their line of evidence against the alleged vie oIators until the regular trial as 1t may interfere with their plans to appre. hend the party or parties who are guilty of the original larceny of the questions.

OPENING GUNS
 ON TUESDAY Candidates for Congress
 on Array. CHINA GROVE TO BE SCENE Will Be Bigger Event Than Votes
 in Precinct. Stump wn Be of Large Dimensions and All Candidates win Have
 Each other wish Lances Tightly Gripped.

Candidates for Congressional honors are sharpening their weapons to do combat at China Grove on July 2S.
 China Grove by name sounds like a peaceable sort of place. It is located In Pike county just a few miles from Troy and is more famous for its barbe- cues than for the number of votes cast in that beat. But still in China Grove will the first blood of the campaign in the Second Congressional District of Alabama to chose a successor for the late Hon. A. A. Wiley. be spilled
 Where there are things to eat and especially a barbecue. the voters will be- and the candidates for Congress recognize this. And where voters are. candidates will congregate.
 And so 1t Is that at China Grove in the County of Pike next Tuesday. the candidates will don their armor. lower their visors. grip their lances and pre- ering which will land them either in Washington or temporarily on the list of down and outs.
 The affair at China Grove. which promises to make political history in this district, was started with inno- cent enough intentions. It was plan ned as a neighborhood barbecue, but a candidate was invited to speak. Now 1t seems that all candidates have been invited and are anxious to speak and although the affair is not announced in black type as a Gigantic Joint Meeting of Men, Who Will Make or Mar the Annals of Alabama, still 1t has all the ear marks ~f joint debate and that's what the candidates are looking for.
 They will all be on the scene. So- licitor Hugh Dent of Montgomery, who wants to sit in the House of Rep resentatives. will be hand. Pike county is the bailiwick Df Hon. Will Hodge Sanford and he will certainly be there. Tom Hall and Solicitor c. R. Brick en will be on hand. Captain o. c. Wiley, candidate for the short term, will be present. and it is altogether likely that more than one near candi- date will witness the hostilities. r Anyhow, China Grove will awaken and there will be oratory as we'll an eating.

INSTITUTES
 FOR TEACHERS Arrangements Made in
 Nine Districts. EXPERT TEACHERS IN CHARGE Department Officer Makes An
 nouncement. unususl Importance i. Attached to the 1asslsutes of 1908. Because of
 New Book Aaep-

with the passing of last week, the State Department of Education was in- formed that the dates and places of eight congressional teachers institutes had been settled upon and that in the majority of the districts the conductors and assistants of the institutes had been chosen. The institutes will be held variousiy from Monday, July 2T. 10 September 1z.
 Unusual importance is attached to these educational assemblies provided for the summer of 1908. If this were not the year for the initiation of the numerous new text books into the Ala- bama pablic school system the insti- 4utes would still be of intense interest to the teachers of the seperal distrlcts as well as to the patrons.
 But with the sudden introduction of the books which are to be taught to the xhonsands of school children beginning the next scholastic year. the coming together of teachers of whatever grade to discuss methods of instruction and gain advantage by exchange of views, will be drawing card to teachers who otherwise might be content to remain apathetic for the remainder of the summer As 1t Is. there will be many e teacher only too glad to so to the re- motesf point in his or her district to hear the lectures of trained teachers on every phase of public instruction. Tho only cost to them will be the price Of their board for the period of the session and the railroad fare.
 The institutes are required under the law to be held for two weeks each summer. The State Superintendent of Education has, under this authority. appointed competent and we'll known educators within the States confines for the lectures in each district For the purpose of defraying the expenses in part the State has appropriated the sum Of s1. 200 annually for the nine dis kri1tR
 To arouse local enthusiasm on the subject Of the institutes State Super antendent Gunnels several weeks ago made the open proposition that any town or city of reasonable access and conwenience in each district which would pledge first as much as $100 to supplement the States appropriation, would win the institute. In many in- stances more than $100 was raised for the prize and in every district but one the proposition is reported as having been met.
 The names Of the institute conduc- tors and their assistants which have been appointed by the Department. to-
