ELECTION IN coURTLAND.

Courtland, July 7.--(speciai. )---At an election held here yesterday to ascer- tain whether or not the municipality shall issue S5.o00. i've year bonds. to iaid in the erection of q school build ing, the bond issue. carried by an al- most unanimous vote, there being only one vote registered against the issue. The bonds will be issued at once and 1t is thought that large portion. if not all of them will be taken in this town.
 The Rocky TIill place formerly the home of W. c. swoope now deceased. will be offered for sale at aBninistra- tors sale, at an early date. This Is one of the handsomest homes In the state. The dwelling was erected by the late Colonel James B. Saunders before the war and with slave labor, this building cost about s35,o00.
 Colonel Saunders sent to Italy for an architect, when he got ready to build, and the plan Is that of an Italian cas- tie, even to the turret on the side. White marble, imported from Italy, was used for the Ire places and mantles and the inside decoration Is the hand Somest in the State.
 When MT. Swoope purchased the place about ten years ago, It was in a very damaged condition. but with a determination to make 1t his home for the future, he spent about S10,000 in repairs, and when he died last year, both the farm and dwelling were left in q perfect state of repair.
 At the time of his death Mr. Swoope had a large herd of Hereford cattle and quite a lot of thoroughbred horses. He had gone into the fancy stock business and his death was a severe blow to the immunity. ..

He Addresses the Summer School O
 6Heredtty.1

"Heredtty."
 University. July 7.--(Special. )--Be. fore the Summer School Dr. James T searcy delivered very thoughtful and interesting address on the subject of "Eeredity."
 Dr. Searcy explained the phyIum or thread of life. which in .transmission presents two features, the morphoIogi- cal and functional or physiological In this transition variations are the rule.
 In every being we recognize two de- partrnents, the psychic and the sub psychic. It Is the function of the former to obtain the necessarfes of life, air, water, warmth ana food. and of the latter to distribute them through the body. The psychic is by far the most important and is most subject to hereditary influence, both psychic de- terioration and psychic improvement being common. We often hear of the influence of environment. but the truth is that heredity is far more important in influencing lire.
 To psychic development and psychic improvement are attributable many of the facts of history. Men and races diner infinitely in their powers of learning, reasoning and execution. Tn some one of these predoninates and In others another. If we look at his- tory, we can see how the rise and fall of Persian, Egyptian. Greek, Roman and SarAeen civilizations illustrate ra- ctal psychic development and deterio- ration. It is a fact that in the time of most rapid racial development. the men are most manly and the women most womanly.. When men become woman ish and women take men's places, we have a sure sign of racial deterioration.
 Dr. searcy closed by showing how environment and heredity are the two most important things in racial growth. We must make the environment such that 1t will tend to the psychic im- pfovsment of the phyla. We can do this best by teaching the truths of biology and thereby dealing elective ly with the matter of heredity.
