20 application will be made before
the board for a new SchoOl district,
unless iG can be shown under the law
that the people are entitled to it. In
making an application for a new
school, children who live in reach
of an old established school should not
be counted. The law in regard to
establishing schools reads as follows
"A regular school district shall not
Coz tain less than fOrty-five educable
children of the race for which the
district is established, except where
too great distance or impossible OBJ
%structiOns would debar children from
school privileges: in such cases the
school board may, in its discretion,
establish a regular district containing
not less thanfifteen educablechildren.

Crop Reports BY the Bears.

1t seems that the bears, in making
up their crop reports, have not yet got
irtO their heads that all the river bot.
tom farms have been swept, and that
the acreage (the very best acreage)
has been cut down materially in the
best OF the cotton States.
In addition, the long continued
rains have left many of the richest
fields in the grass and weeds.
While the first bales have been re-
ceived and there is much ,alk OF
blooms and bOllS, a great many farm
ers have not finished chopping their
cotton out, and many more have not
vet gotten a chance to replant the
fields recently under water.
There is d whole lot Of ignorance,
oppycock and rascality mixed in with
the crop reports" one reads from the
pens Of the bears. Theirs is to

Republican Convention at Chicago.

Republican Convention at Chicago.
Gov. Vardaman in The Issue charges
that the President was inSincere in
some Of his demands for reform made
to Congress, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
consented to a platform that by no
means measures up to what he has
pretended to stand for. He make the
President "a liar": The message
was strong in language and just in its
demands, but its author was q liar
and the message a rank deception as
subsequent events demonstrate. Says
The Issue and further:
HE has consented to a platform
which gives the lie 10 his former con-
t%entionS and all for the purpose OF
getting votes for Taft. 1t is not sur
prising, however, to me. For office
or the glamour of ephemeral success,
he would surrender every honest con-
viction of his impulsive and deceitful
soul. He would outrage the goddess
Of liberty and Scuttle the ship of state
for an hour Of complete triumph. lie

Much was said oy President Cleve-
lands enemies about the time he re-
tired from the Presidency about bis
alleged wealth. 1t was even limited
that some of it had been acquired by
questionable methods. 1t is crafty

such accusations have since acknowi-
edged their errors and have paid The

The Washington Star (Republican)
of June 25. in commenting upon Mr..
Cleveland'S finances, among Other
things has the following to say:
Contrary to the general nelief, Mr.
Cleveland was a poor man. Fol some

opinion was generally held that he

Seventeenth Annual Meeting Opens
in New York.

New York, April 27.-Daughter
of the Revolution from all parts of
the United States are in attendance
at the seventeenth annual meeting of
the general society, which convened
today at the Waldorf. The society is
separate and distinct from the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, which recently held its congress
in Washington.
More interest than usual attaches
to this years meeting because of the
election of officers. Eight amend
ments to the constitution will also be
voted upon.
The six days program includes a
reception to the General Society by
the New York State Society AT the
Hotel Plaza a theatre party, excur-
sions to historic points, and ban
quet at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The general society of the Daugh-
ters of the Revolution was organized
in this city on August 20, 1891, a
year later than the Daughters of the
American Revolution. State societies
have been established throughout the
country. The body admits to mem
bership women whose descendants
took part in the struggle with Great
Britain.

MAD KING IS SIXTY YEARS OLD
Monarch Of Bavaria Has Been Insane
for Many Years.

Munich, Bavaria, April 27.-King
Otto, the mad monarch of Bavaria is
today so years of age, and is cele-
brating the anniversary immured in
the gorgeous prison of Castle Fur
stenried, where he has spent 38
years,
King Otto was born April 27, 1S4S
and succeeded his brotheE Ludwig
H., June 13. 1886. when that mon
arch committed suicide by drowning
self in Starnberg Lake. Al that
time he was insane. and the real
monarch is Prince Luitpold, Otto's
uncle, who rules Bavaria as regent.
Of King Otto's 60 years, 3S have
been passed as a madman, although
for % years he has ostensibly occu-
pied Bavaria's throne. Physicians are
of the opinion that Otto's robust con-
stitution will enable him to reign
many more years.
| Since 1878 Otto has not left the
house and park of Cattle Furstenried
which is on the outskirts of Munich.
| Fifteen gorgeously appointed par
lors, s,nnected by mighty folding
doors, are at the exclusive disposal
of the royal madman, who amuses
( himself year in and year out by
smashing furniture, breaking up
statuary and smearing mud over
paintings and wall hangings.

OLD MEXICO IS DISTURBED
Condition Of the Affairs in Guatemala
Causes Disquietrg Rumors.

City of Mexico, April 27.-There
is persistent rumor here. that news
of most disquieking nature has
been received by the Mexican state
department from Guatemala. Accord
ing to reports, President Diaz has
called a cabinet meeting to discuss
Central American affairs.
Owing to yesterday being a holi-
day, was impossible to confirm these
stories. 1t is declared that Mexico
and the United States have reached
an agreement regarding Central
American affairs and that important
developments are about to material
ize.
1t is reported here on good author
ity that six battalions of Mexican
troops have been ordered to proceed
at once to Tapachula, on the Mexican
Guat frontier. Whether or not
this movement of troops is connected
| in any way with the recent disturb
ances in Guatemala cannot be otfici-
ally verified.

A NEGRO KILLED HIS SISTER
In Trying to Disperse Mob Gilmer
Constable Killed Two.

Gilmer, Texas, April 27.-Satur-
day night about 10 o'clock a negro
by the name of Bob Holland got into
a dispute with his sister, Whl Marri-
ble's wife and shot her twice, killing
her instantly Holland was it1toxicat-
ed, A crowd of negroes gathered at
the place and were making prepara-
tions to mob Holland, when Consta-
BILE W. M. Cumbie arrived on the
scene and in an attempt to scatter
the mob of negroes, accidentally let
his gun, a double barrel shotgun, go
off and killed a woman and a boy.
The woman was the wife of Jeff
Mitchell and the boys name was not
learned as he had just come to town.
Constable Cumbie expressed re-
grets over the affair, but said he
could not help it. Holland was hur-
ried to the Jail. 1t is thought that the
mob is quiet and the law will take
its course.

HAMLET BURIED
BY AVALANCHE.
AT Least Seventy Lives are Lost
Under Mountain Slide
in Canada.
THE DISASTER IS SUDDEN
People Of the Village Were Preparing
tor Early Mass When Mountain
Side Crushed Down
Upon Them.

Buckingham, Quebec, April 27.-
Half of the little French hamlet of
Notre Dame de Sallette, sixteen miles
from here on the Lievre river, lies
buried under a sliding mountain and
at least thirty of its small population
are known to have perished. The
hamlet has no telephone or telegraph
and neither is It on a railroad. Mea-
ger bits of news of the disaster come
in by messengers from the physicians
and other rescuers who were hurried
there when the first call for aid came
at early morning. The river Lievre
winds at the foot of the village and
a mountain towers behind it. Spring
rains for the past few days have been
melting the snow and ice on the
mountain side and streams have been
coursing down to the river.
At five o'clock yesterday morning,
just as the little hamlet began to
to stir for early mass, part of the
mountain started to slide toward the
river. 1t tore path of death and des-
truction, and those who were not
killed when their homes were engulf-
ed, were left buried under the mass
of rock and earth.
De Sallette like other hamlets runs
into gardens and little fields on the
mountain side, so that much of it
was in the path of the avalanche The
sliding mass came with a rush and
