Would Make the Teachers Pay Up.

Should a male teacher who never pays a poll tax be permitted to hold position in the public schools in Arkansas?'
 This question has been frequently asked and was called to the attention of Superintendent George E. Cook Saturday. It is contended that teach CTS, above all others, should be among the first to pay a poll tax. This tax goes to the school fund, and the teach CT gets more benefit from it than any other person, and he should be re- quired to pay it. otherwise he should be barred from teaching in the public schools, so argument runs.
 Some persons who have talked the matter over with the superintendent would like to have him suggest that an act be passed by the legislature making a male teacher ineligible to teach in the public schools in the state unless he is poll tax payer.
 Superintendent Cook, in discussing the question, said that every good male citizen In the state should pay the poll tax and that so should every teacher of the sterner sex. "The mal2 teacher should be proud of the priyi- lege of paying a poll tax, said Super intendent Cook He is more for tunate than the teacher of the oppo- site sex He enjoys benefits that the other does not. His pay is greater than that of the other, and in addi- ton to this he is distinguished by every enc with the title of professor. He not only receives the pay, but is also accorded the honor of his pro fession He certainly should esteem it pleasure to pay his poll tax, and I believe he will when the matter is presented to him in the proper shape, without going to the legislature to make him do SO"

Many Ewes on Arkansas Fight.

The Railroad Commission spent a busy day Saturday As the time for the hearing of the rate cases at St. Paul draws near the commission s work becomes heavier and heavier. All the members of the commission are vitally interested in the outcome of the suits, as a victory for the roads would mean the undoing of all the rulings which the commission has made under acts of the legis- lature.
 Several railroads in other parts or the United States are thinking Of filing suits to enjoin the commission of the states in which they operate from enforcing its rulings, and the outcome of the Arkansas litigation will greatly affect the future acton of these companies.

Gang Employed in Clearing Land Waited on by a Committee of Whites and Forced
 to Leave.

Jonesboro, Ark.-For a second time within a few weeks the negroes have been run out of Truman, lumber town near here, by white people and trouble between the whites, who have driven away the negroes, and J. A. Franklin of Pine Bluff, owner of big mill at Truman, who em Franklin says that he needs the services of the negroes and that he will endeavor to carry out his plans. He was in this city Monday and while here expressed his dissatis- faction at the way in which his negro employees had been treated. He also inquired and conferred with several persons as to what steps might be taken to relieve the present situa- tion
 The second trouble between the negroes and the whites at Truman occurred Monday afternoon, accord ing to Mr Franklin, who says that the people of that vicinity during the course of picnic appointed a com mittee to wait on the negroes, who were employed to clear a tract Of land and warned them to leave the country at once. The negroes left, and, as they did so, it is alleged that beer bottles and axes were thrown at them. No one was hurt. There were about twenty negroes in the party and all of them came to Jones' boro.
 Only recently a squad of negroes were employed at the mill at the same work when the whites decided that they should leave. An employe at the mill advised them to leave, in forming them that he had been sent to warn them away. He is alleged to have pulled gun to back up his warning and to have started the negroes on march toward town. When en route, the party met fore man employed at the mill who over- powered the other white man, seized his gun, turned the negroes back and brought the white man into town. Feeling was high at that time be- cause of the arrest of the white man. who was afterward given a. light fine in police court.
 It was rumored that Governor Pindal had been asked to send troops to protect the negroes.

 Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left me in a most miserable condition. For over two years l suffered from nerV- ousness, weak heart. shortness Of breath, could not sleep, etc.
 My appetite was rayenous but l felt starved all the time. l had plenty of food but it did not nourish me because of intestinal indigestion Med ical treatment did not seem to helr, l got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether lived or died
 One day friend asked me why l didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee, and use Postum. l had lost faith in everything, but to please my friends I began to use both and soon became very fond of them.
 Tt wasn't long before l got some strength, felt decided change in my system. hope sprang up in my heart and slowly but surely l got better l could sleep very well, the constant craving for food ceased and l nave better health now than before the at' tack of peritonitis.

Blanchard. who confessed that thelr son had been engaged in making pad money for long period of time ana showed the officers where much ol the surplus coins and moulds were hidden, is leading to still further de- NelopmentS in the counterfeit plot.
 Deputy Marshal Sutterfield, who accomplished the arrests. has been lQaklng further investigations around the Blanchard home and has succeed ed in unearthing a number of addi- tional moulds. dies and tools used by the cCanterfeiters
 In the list of additional articles found is small electric dynamo and some crucibles used in melting gold and silver.

It is believed that still further search will reveal more evidence of guilt, and the hunt will be continued from time to time.
 The unearthing of additional evi- dence resulted in Dr. Blanchard and Wtlcoxsen being taken again before the commissioner, who has increased the bond in each case to S3.750. The prisoners have been unable to furnish bond. and have ben sent to Fort Smith. where they are being held in jail
 Their cases will receive the atten- tion of the grand jury. which will con vene the second month in October at Harrison.

 The mother of Dr. Blanchard de clared that since the death of his wife her son had shown morbid tendency to deal in counterfeit money, and that all her efforts to persuade him to desist were futile. She declared that to protect her son the tools and evi- dence of his guilt had been hidden by her and her husband after the boys arrest Both the old people denied any connection with the mak- ing of bad money or assisting in pass ing it.

All reports Of the proceedings
of the republican State conven-
ton held in Greensboro last week
indicate that it was a pow wow"
proper. Participants called each
other by ugly names and one pa
per says returning delegates de-
clare that gag rule was the only
thing which characterized this
this meeting of drones and stamp
lickers." Tom Settle was howled
down to make way for Harry
Skinner, an erstwhile populist
who has become a republican for
revenue only. Mary Ann Butler
was on hand and brought grief
to the State Chairman, by oppos-
ing and defeating a resolution
the latter wanted to
get adopted. So there seems to
be no improvement whatever,
except in the surface colors, in
the makeup of the past negro
ridden and the present boss-con-

republicans in North Carolina.
