shipped was the remarkable
transformation accomplished near
Santa Maria by J. H. McNair, the

After the first two sentences his
memory failed, and look of blank

School Improvement Association Discuss Cleveland Disaster Want Building
 Cleaned Once a Month.
The School Improvement As

The School Improvement As sociation held an interesting business session yesterday afternoon in the school chapel. The former treasurer, Mrs. Mat. Denman, having resigned, Mrs. H. A. Sykes was elected to ill the office, with Mrs. Sam S. Logan as assistant.
 Many things of interest to the school were discussed, among which were precautions against panic in case of fire. We pre-. sume the school board will see that all outside doors are swung so as to open either in or out, to avoid such a catastrophe as the Cleveland disaster, but we made bold to discuss this fea- ture any how, and expressed the hope that this important item will not be neglected by that honorable body.
 Ways and means were also discussed to have the school house thoroughly mopped at least once a month for the sake | Of the health of the children.

Preach on Mardi GraS.
Special to the News.

Little Rock, March 7.-Rev. w. A. Swift, pastor of Asbury Methodist Church., this city an nounces that on Sunday night he will discuss the sights he saw on Little Rock streets Tuesday night, Mardi Gras. MT. Swift has written scathing denuncia tion of the celebration and de. clared that it is but a license for the degenerates and inexperi. enced to give free rein to their morbid desires, and that the city of Little Rock should never again allow this condition to prevail. He uses strong langu. age in this denunciation, and 1t is stated that he will on Sunday night go even more deeply into the matter, and not mince words. He is strongly opposed to a re- petition of the celebration next year.

into the matter. One of these resides near the home of the young lady with whom Charles F. Roberts, the mail clerk, was with the night of the killing, and says that before the couple re. turned from the city Wednesday, night man, answering to the description given of the dead man, walked up and down before this house for some time, disap- bearing just before Roberts and the girl appeared.
 The other lady says she heard the shot fired and saw the man run for some distance, then fall and lie still. She says this is the man now at the undertakerS shop in this city. This, it will be readily seen, does not tally with the reports given by Roberts but there are many who believe that the description of the attack and it's result given by Roberts is to realistic to have been manu- factured for the occasion by him.
 James Adams of Argenta, de clares that the dead man is no other than Clarance N. Gran berry, born and reared in Gray township this county, near Jack sonville. He points out the fam ily resemblance and maintains that the dead man is no other than his own nephew. A. Me Cain, who was reared with Gran
