Public School Notes.

Clarence Julian has returned from
his summer trip and entered the sophie
more class in the High School.
Clara McCarville of Willow Springs
who began in the Darlington High
School, is now with our Freshman class.
Supt. Loveland had business in Oar.
lington as evil service examiner within
the past week.
| Our boys lost their first game of ball
last Saturday to the Darlington High
School, but came home proud of having
won five runs off Wilson's pitching.
Considering the fact that Darlington
still has practically the same team it
had last year, while we have five en-
tirely new men, the score of to 6 was
very encouraging.
The novelty of the beginning of the
work with new teachers is beginning to
wear off and we are beginning to settle
down to business. A close observer
can begin to distinguish between those
who mean business and those who need
watching
Parents are urged to visit the school.
Everybody admits that there is great
benefit derived from these visits, but
good many seem to fear that they will
in some way disturb the school. Let
US get over this feeling and make
practice of running in whenever we
can.
Recent visitors were: Herman Parm-
ley, class of '03, Miss Ethel Cooking '06,
Orville Treweek '06, Ira Fitzsimmons

with the East Indies. and they put
up the price of pepper TO such Il point

GOVERNOR SENDS MESSAGE TO
STATE LEGISLATURE.
.FAyORs LOCAL OPTION
Urges Legislators to Adopt Laws Alb
solutely Prohibiting Race Track
Gambling and Suggests High u:
cense for Liquor Dealers.

Baton Rouge, La, May 18.-Race
track gambling to be suppressed abb
solutely, and local option combined
with high license, to regulate the
liquor traffic, were two Of the most
salient recommendations Of Governor
Snyder's inaugural message to the
legislature today. About. race track
gambling the message said:
sThe manner and methods Of con
Quoting the race tracks in New Or
leans and the fragrant gambling car
ried on at the tracks has deservedly
aroused the moral sense Of the people
against 1t. I will earnestly urge upon
the general assembly the enactment
Of lessislation prohibiting and penal
izing gambling on horse racing"
Discusses Liquor Traffic.
After noting local option as the
constitutional policy Of the state the
message says:
prohibition has worked well IN
those sections " the state where
popular sentiment is behind the law
and some Of the most prosperous
towns and villages are those where
prohibition has prevailed for a period
long enough to afford fair tests Of Its
merits. On the other hand, obstacles
in the way OF endorsing such q law II
portions Of the state where it is MOI
demanded by public sentiment are SC
great as to render the task prac
tically impossible.
"A higher license for the state AMI
a minimum license Of $500 for par
ishes and municipalities would appeal
to be not an unjust demand"
Condemnation was expressed OF tn
practices Of combining saloon and gro
Gerry licenses and Of issuing lquo
licenses to women. The suppression
was recommended of selling liquor Il
the same building to negroes ant
whites.
