Indianapolis, Aug. 31.-The 'get
busy sign is out at republican state
/ Headquarters, and before ten days
shall have rolled by something def
mite will be known as to the nature
of the dose of stump speaking that
| Indiana is to have for the campaign.
| Inquiries are still pouring in for Taft.
| 1t looks as though he is to be a NIGH
| ty popular card and it is already GER
tain that he will be unable to fill a
4 fiftieth part of the dates that are ask
ed from all over the state. The speak
ers' bureau is awaiting his final ans
wer as to the exact time that the
nominee will be able to give to Indi-
ana. and when this answer is forth
coming the assignments will be quick
| ly made. 1t is said that he will make
several speeches in the state, and the
| bureau has picked upon a few cities
THAT are to be favored. but nothing
is being said about this, nor will any
/ thing be given out until Taft is ready.
! AS stated before, Richmond is in the
list of cities that are to be favored.
| Overstreet has Horse Shoes.
| A number of politicians were talk
ing the, other day about lucky men in
the game. One of them remarked
that Jesse Overstreet, congressman
from the seventh district, has them
all beaten when 1t comes to luck. Four
years ago there was strong opposition
TO him.. and there were many who de-
olared that he could never carry the
district. But he got in behI the
Roosevelt procession and went
Through with flying colors. This year
there is again strong opposition to
him in some directions and he also
has the Marion county scandals load
ito carry. So heavy Is the latter that
1Eany wagers have been made that
lhe republicans will not carry the
county, and the betting has been at
even money, too. But Overstreet is
the lucky one. The democrats, with
chance to win by putting forward a
strong man, got into the entangle-
ments OF the machine and the nomin-
alton of young Bernard Corbaly. was
the result. Corbaly has practically
nothing to recommend him, and the
democratic leaders are admitting that
his selection was big mistake. But
1t will make the sailing easy for Ov-
erstreet, and there are few acquainted
with the situation who do not frankly
concede-he they democrats or repub-
licans-that Overstreet will carry the
district. There was a strong under
current for the nomination of Judge
James Gavin, who would have put up
a strong fight, but the machine would
have none of him. Judge Gavin made
no effort for the honor. but he was
available and would have taken the
nomination If given to him. But the
machine turned to Corbaly and now
Overstreet is just laughing. Yes, he
Is the lucky one, and no mistake.

The meeting was called to order by

the teachers was delivered by Mr.. r.
5. Harbour, prominent citizen OF
South Boston. and responded toby the,
Rev. Mr.. Williams, of the Methodist
Church.
Superintendent w. II. Barksdale de-
livered an address in which he re-
viewed briefly the work being done in
the county and the needs for Improving

speech was a plea to the teachers to
take more interest in their work and
thus help to create public sentiment
among the patrons for better sch FOOLS.
Next came the reports from the del

The keynote to the whole meeting
was that in order to improve school
